查看习题详情和答案>>When we meet another person for the first time, we are actually flooded with new information. Almost at once, we notice his appearance, style of dress, and manner of speech. Furthermore (besides), as we listen to what he has to say and observe the things he does, we begin to form some ideas of what kind of person he is and what he intends to do. As you know from your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate pieces of information. Instead, we go further and combine them into a unified (统一的) picture. In short, we form an overall impression of each person we meet―an impression that can be favorable (making people like) or unfavorable. But how precisely (exactly) do we perform this task? How do we combine so much different information into a clear first impression with such quick speed? A great deal of research has been performed on this question, and results point to the following answer: we perform this task through a special type of averaging (平均).
Expressed very simply, our impressions of others seem to represent a weighted average of all information that can be gathered about them. That is, they reflect a process in which all information we have about others is averaged together―but with some facts, or input (输入) receiving greater weight than others. As you can readily see, this makes good sense. For example, in forming an impression of a new boss you would probably be affected to a much greater degree by how this person gives you orders (whether respectfully or not) than by the color of his or her eyes. The fact that not all information about other persons affects our impressions of them to the same degree, raises an important question. Just what kinds of input receive the greatest weight? Again research provides some revealing (发人深思的) answers.
65．This passage is mainly about _________.
A. how our first impressions are expressed B. how our first impressions are formed
C. how we can favorably impress others D. how first impressions affect our lives
66．According to the passage, the first impression is _________.
A. the result of quick look B. not based on enough information
C. a combination of pieces of information D. the observation of what a person does
67．Research has shown that first impressions are generally more affected by _________.
A. the way others speak B. appearance and style of dress
C. all information we have D. certain types of information at hand
68．The passage tells us _________.
A. ways of making good first impressions
B. what kinds of input receive the greatest weight are not clear now.
C. when we meet other persons for the first time we form an overall impression of them almost at once.
D. The first impression that we form of other persons are always favorable.
查看习题详情和答案>>Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
| A. Impoliteness in using electronic communication devices B. The objection to the use of some devices C. The annoying noise from the classroom D. A fact of modern life E. Disturbance by someone’s scream in public places F. The website’s quotation |
1．
It's something that most of us find annoying. We're on our way home after a hard day at school and trying to have a quiet chat with a classmate or get in a little reading, when our peace is disturbed by someone screaming into their cell phone: "I'M ON THE BUS!"
2．
A survey published last week suggests Americans do not like the impolite use of today's electronic communication gadgets. Besides noisy phone users, sending and receiving e-mails while in company are also as very poor manners, reports MSNBC.com.
3．
One of the practices that participants in the survey most objected to was the use of phones, iPods and other devices during religious festivals. Some 90 per cent of those surveyed thought this was insensitive and disrespectful.
4．
The website quotes Dr Genevieve Bell, conductor of the survey and director of Intel's User Experience Group as saying: "Theses are issues about common sense." But she believes that the rights and wrongs of the public use of technology are still in the process of formation.
5．
The survey does suggest, according to MSNBC, that most Amencans accepted that the technologies are a fact of modern life. They had nothing against the use of laptops and cell phones in bathrooms. And an electronic thank-you note was just as acceptable as a handwritten one.

I really hated having to ask questions, for math is very difficult for me, so I don’t know why I thought I could take classes in pre-calculus in my junior year.
I like Mr Trout, his values and what he believed in 36 a teacher. He wanted us to really __37 what we were doing. I respected that, but all the numbers were still so 38 to me. I studied endless hours, and it 39 at first, until the algebra（代数）was over. That was 40 I learned how to ask for help on something as silly as 41 problems.

In fact, I plan on asking for help as 53 as possible. But I have found that I can still be 54 and ask for help when I need it. The only stupid question is the one you didn’t 55 .
