举一反三
In some urban centers, workaholism is so common that people do not consider it unusual.They accept the lifestyle as normal.Government workers in Washington D.C., for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week.They do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.
Workaholism can be a serious problem.Because true workaholics would rather work than do anything else, they probably don"t know
how to relax; that is, they might not enjoy movies, sports, or other
types of entertainment.Most of all, they hate to sit and do nothing.The lives of workaholics are usually stressful, and this tension and worry can cause health problems such as heart attacks or stomach ulcers.In addition, typical workaholics don"t pay much attention to their
families.They spend little time with their children, and their marriages may end in divorce.
Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not.There are, certainly, people who work well under stress.Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life.Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy.For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the same thing.Their jobs provide them with a challenge; this keeps them busy and creative.
Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work.It provides people with paychecks, and this is important.But it offers more than financial security It provides people with self-confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they have produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say," I made that." Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity; by working, they get a sense of self and individualism.In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others.

Men and women are still treated unequally in the workplace. Women continue to earn less, on average, for the same performance. Research has shown that both conscious(有意识的) and subconscious biases (偏见) contribute to this problem. But we’ve discovered another source of inequality: Women often don’t get what they want and deserve because they don’t ask for it. In three separate studies, we found that men are more likely than women to negotiate for what they want.
The first study found that the starting salaries of male MBAs who had recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon were 7.6%, or almost $4,000, higher on average than those of female MBAs from the same program. That’s because most of the women had simply accepted the employer’s salary offer; in fact, only 7% had attempted to negotiate. But 57% of their male counterparts--or eight times as many men as women—had asked for more.
Another study tested this gender difference in the lab. Subjects were told that they would be observed playing a word game and that they would be paid between $3 and $10 for playing. After each subject completed the task, an experimenter thanked the participant and said, “Here’s $3. Is $3 OK?” For the men, it was not OK, and they said so. Their requests for more money are nine times as many as the women’s.
The largest of the three studies surveyed several hundred people over the Internet, asking them about the most recent negotiations they’d attempted or started and when they expected to negotiate next. The study showed that men place themselves in negotiation situations much more often than women do.
There are several reasons accounting for the phenomenon. First, women often are taught from an early age not to promote their own interests and to focus instead on the needs of others. The messages girls receive—from parents, teachers, other children, the media, and society in general—can be so powerful that when they grow up they may not realize that they’ve made this behavior part of them, or they may realize it but not understand how it affects their willingness to negotiate. Women tend to think that they will be recognized and rewarded for working hard and doing a good job. Unlike men, they haven’t been taught that they can ask for more.
小题1:According to this passage, what causes the inequality in the workplace?
A.social bias
B.women’s poorer working ability
C.women’s worse academic background
D.women’s less negotiating
小题2:Which can be the result of the following survey, according to Para 4?
 
When do you expect to negotiate next?
小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Women are more likely to accept the employer’s salary offer.
B.Men tend to ask for more money than woman.
C.Women care more about other’s interest instead of themselves’.
D.Men believe that the better they work, the better they’re paid.
小题4:What will be discussed in the following paragraph?
A.The suggestions given to women.
B.The warnings to men.
C.Another reason for women’s not asking.
D.Another reason for men’s asking.

WHEN there are some strangers in front of us, which of them will we trust?
According to a new study in the online PLOS One, people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling.
Researchers from Britain’s University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments.
The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking.
The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn’t as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted.
Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted.
The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.
Chris Olivola, one of the study’s authors, said in the University of Warwick’s press release: “It seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts (本能) about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. The temptation (诱惑) to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist.”
小题1:Which of the following can be a proper title for this passage?
A.What kind of face do you trust?
B.Who did the experiments?
C.Why do you trust him or her?
D.Why did they do the experiments?
小题2:According to the study, which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted?
A.A sad face.B.A smiling face.
C.A crying face.D.An angry face.
小题3:Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE?
A.The trustworthy faces were given good information.
B.Researchers took photos of the 40 people’s faces in college.
C.Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.
D.Participants liked to choose the faces with good information.
小题4:What did the researchers learn from their experiment?
A.People can’t refuse temptations.
B.People always do things with their instincts.
C.People often judge strangers by their faces.
D.People don’t trust strangers with sad faces.

A new study suggests that sad music might actually arouse positive emotions. The finding helps to explain why people enjoy listening to sad music, say Ai Kawakami and her colleagues from Tokyo University of the Arts and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Japan. Ai Kawakami and her colleagues asked 44 volunteers, including both musicians and nonspecialists, to listen to two pieces of sad music and one piece of happy music. Each participant was required to use a set of keywords to rate both their perception(观念) of the music and their own emotional state.
The sad pieces of music included Glinka’s La Separation in F minor and Blumenfeld’s Etude Sur Mer in G minor. The happy music piece was Granados’s Allegro de Concierto in G major. To control the “happy” effect of major key, they also played the minor key(小调) pieces in major key, and vise versa.
The researchers explained that sad music aroused contradictory emotions because the participants of the study tended to feel sad to be more tragic and less romantic than they felt themselves while listening to it.
“ In general, sad music causes sadness in listeners, and sadness is regarded as an unpleasant emotion. If sad music actually arouses only unpleasant emotion, we would not listen to it,” the researchers wrote in the study.
“Music that is believed as sad actually causes romantic emotion as well as sad emotion.And people, regardless of their musical training, experience this ambivalent(矛盾的) emotion to listen to the sad music,” added the researchers.
Also, unlike sadness in daily life, sadness experienced through art actually feels pleasant, possibly because the latter does not cause an actual threat to our safety. This could help people to deal with their negative emotions in daily life, concluded the authors.
“Emotion experienced by music has no direct danger or harm unlike the emotion experienced in everyday life. Therefore, we can even enjoy unpleasant emotion such as sadness. If we suffer from unpleasant emotion aroused through daily life, sad music might be helpful to alleviate negative emotion,” they added.
小题1: People enjoy listening to sad music because _______.
A.sad music may help arouse positive emotions
B.sad music can make people relax
C.Sad music has a positive effect on people’s health
D.many experts recommend people to listen to sad music
小题2:We can learn from the passage that _______.
A.sad music only causes sadness in listeners
B.Only musicians were invited to take part in the survey
C.The volunteers were asked to listen to three pieces of music in all
D.Granados’s Allegro de Concierto in G major can cause positive emotions
小题3:The underlined word “alleviate” in the last paragraph means “         ”.
A.addB.strengthenC.causeD.reduce
小题4:What is the main idea of this passage?
A.People should listen to sad music.
B.Happy music can make people sad.
C.Sad music may actually cause positive emotions.
D.Sad music is really bad to people.

Recently the busiest person on the Internet is absolutely Yuanfang, a fictional figure from the Chinese TV series “Detective Di Renjie”. In the TV series, Li was often asked by Di, “How do you see it, Yuanfang?” Then, the dialogues between them help advance the plot. Now, the casual pet phrase is used as many as 2.5 million times by netizens in a single day, according to statistics.
In fact, it is not the first popular sentence pattern on the Internet. Many other types of popular network words include those evolved from “the slogans of Vancl(凡客网)” and actor’s lines of “The Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan”.
The explosive spread of the sentence “How do you see it, Yuanfang?” again proved the vast power of the network spread. The appearance of a buzzword(流行词) on the Internet may be coincidental, but the spread of numerous buzzwords has started a social and cultural phenomenon. It is more noticeable that the spread is not a deliberate choice but by chance. Usually, everyone has known about it, except the one concerned.
The appearance of buzzwords is resulting from the agreement of netizens. If something is new and interesting enough, it will cause public attention.
The rise of these buzzwords also benefits from their strong “adhesive(粘着的) force”. After analyzing these buzzwords, we find that they have a common character, namely “novel in structure but empty in content”. Therefore, any concrete contents can be added in these buzzwords, creating fantastic results.
Taking the “Yuanfang-style” as an example, its popularity displayed a social mentality of questioning. Although it seems a little funny to ask “Yuanfang”, a fictional character, and some people even find it boring. This way of asking a question reveals a valuable quality-listening. The Internet provides a space for everyone to express their views, but it also causes controversies. What’s your opinion, Yuanfang?
小题1:We can learn from the passage that Yuanfang        .
A.is the busiest person in modern industrial societies
B.plays an important role in a Chinese TV series
C.is a fictional figure currently popular with netizens
D.starts a social and cultural phenomenon by himself
小题2:What does the underlined words “a deliberate choice” in Paragraph3 mean?
A.a choice made on purposeB.a choice made by accident
C.a choice done in personD.a choice done at ease
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The dialogues between Di Renjie and Yuanfang help understand the network buzzwords.
B.The “Yuanfang-style” suggests once again that the power of the network spread is quite vast.
C.The spread of numerous buzzwords has started a social development of structure and content.
D.The result of the netizens’ agreement directly leads to the rise of some socially strong problems.
小题4:What can we infer from the last passage?
A.People benefited from the Internet on which they can learn a lot about real society.
B.People learned about some controversies from the Internet and decided to deal with them.
C.People provided a space through which they can display their own criminal mentality.
D.People found out a place where they can question and express their different views.
