Judgment of character can be influenced by somehting as simple as the temperature of a drink held in our hands .according ot a US study published today,.
Researchers form Yale University conducted experiments that showed that people perceive(認(rèn)知)others as more generous and more attentive if they have just been holding a hot cup of coffee，and that the inverse is true for cold drinks．    
A second study found that people are more likely'to give somethine to others if they held．
something warm, and more likely take something for themselves if they something cold, In the study .published in the current issue of the journal Science, the research team built on earlier studies that show the physical distance between indivduals also influences social judgment about others.
The experiment suggests that the warmth of an object or the distance that is felt between people means more than simple metaphors(暗喻).Both instances, researchers said ,are literal examples of trust first experienced between motehr and child during infancy.
“When we ask whether someone is a warm person or cold person。they both have a temperature 0f 98．6(Farenheit,37 Celsius)，’’said Yale psychology professor John Bargh，who co-authored the study with Lawrence Williams at the University of Colorado．“These terms indirectly explains the primitive experience of what it means to be warm and cold·’’
“Physical temperatures affect not just how humans see each other,but also how humans behave，”said Bargh，“The power of temperature on character assessments has been backed up by recent brain imaging studies．”He added．“Physical warmth call make us see others as warmer
people，         cause us to be warmer,more generous and trusting as well
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health．

III. 閱讀 (共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)
第一節(jié)：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C 和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
As goods and services improved, people were persuaded to spend their money on changing from old to new, and found the change worth the expense. When an airline equipped itself with jets, for example, its costs (and therefore air fare) would go up, but the new planes meant such an improvement that the higher cost was justified. A new car (or wireless, washing machine, electric kettle) made life so much more comfortable than the old one that the high cost of replacement was fully repaid. Manufacturers still cry their goods as persuasively as ever, but are the improvements really worth paying for? In many fields, things have now reached such a high standard of performance that further progress is very limited and very, very expensive. Airlines, for example, go to enormous expense in buying the latest prestige jets, in which vast research costs have been spent on relatively small improvements. If we abandon these vast costs we might lose the chance of cutting minutes away from flying times; but wouldn’t it be better to see airfares drop dramatically, as capital costs become relatively insignificant? Again, in the context of a 70 m. p. h. Limit, with lines of cars traveling so close as to control each other’s speeds, improvements in performance are actually irrelevant; improvements in handling are unnecessary, as most production cars grip（抓牢） the road perfectly, and comfort has now reached a very high level. Small improvements here are unlikely to be worth the thousands that anybody replacing an ordinary family car every two years may have spent on them. Let us instead have cars — or wireless, electric kettles, washing machines, television sets — which are made to last, and not to be replaced. Significant progress is obviously a good thing, but the insignificant progression from model-change to model-change is not.
1. The author is obviously challenging the social norm (社會(huì)規(guī)范) that ________________.
A. it is important to improve goods and services
B. development of technology makes our life more comfortable
C. it is reasonable that prices are going up all the time
D. slightly improved new products are worth buying
2. According to this passage, airfares may rise because ______________.
A. the airplane has been improved
B. people tend to travel by new airplanes
C. the change is found to be reasonable
D. the service on the airplane is better than before
3. According to the author, passengers would be happier if they ____________.
A. could fly in the latest model of good planes
B. could get tickets at much lower prices
C. see the airlines make vital changes in their services
D. could spend less time flying in the air
4. When manufactures have improved the performance of their products to a certain level, then it would be _______________.
A. justified for them to cut the price
B. unnecessary for them to make any new changes
C. difficult and costly to further better them
D. insignificant for them to cut down the research costs
5. In the case of cars, the author advises that we _____________.
A. cancel the speed limit                       B. further improve their performance
C. change models every two years          D. improve their durability (耐久性)
