　　Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation(感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.

　　Psychologists have known that one person’s perception(感知) of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth“mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.

　　Feelings of “warmth” and“coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.

　　To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses(假设), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.

　　“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.

　　1. According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by　.　

　　A. the visitors to his office

　　B. the psychology lessons he has

　　C. his physical feeling of coldness

　　D. the things he has bought online

　　2. The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that　.　

　　A. adults should develop social skills

　　B. babies need warm physical contact

　　C. caregivers should be healthy adults

　　D. monkeys have social relationships

　　3. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to　.　

　　A. evaluate someone’s personality

　　B. write down their hypotheses

　　C. fill out a personal information form

　　D. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively

　　4. We can infer from the passage that　.　

　　A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences

　　B. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide

　　C. physical temperature affects how we see others

　　D. capable persons are often cold to others

　　5. What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Drinking for Better Social Relationships.

　　B. Experiments of Personality Evaluation.

　　C. Developing Better Drinking Habits.

　　D. Physical Sensations and Emotions.

　　2016高考模拟题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?

　　Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.

　　Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.

　　Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!

　　Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.

　　1. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to

　　.

　　A. support online shopping

　　B. collect answers from readers

　　C. show his dislike of going shopping

　　D. introduce the topic of the passage

　　2. By what can online shoppers avoid fraud?

　　A. Using only trusted websites.

　　B. Choosing big websites.

　　C. Collecting shopping evidence.

　　D. Seeking advice from the police.

　　3. The author agrees with the fact that ______.

　　A. customers are never satisfied with products

　　B. online shopping is a safe way to make purchases

　　C. online shopping has nothing to do with global warming

　　D. delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy

　　4. What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?

　　A. Very popular.

　　B. A wise choice.

　　C. Not trouble free.

　　D. A waste of time.

　　参考答案1—4 DADC

　　阅读理解, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　Having a great teacher can be life－changing. Mr. Goodney, my 9th grade Advanced English teacher, pushed me in ways I hadn’t been pushed in the classroom previously. He didn’t grade me compared to my classmates；he graded us on a personal grading scale.Mr. Goodney encouraged me but I just couldn’t seem to please Mr. Goodney, no matter how hard I worked.I continued to see the dreaded Bs, sometimes even a C, so frequently that I said goodbye to my hopes of being a middle student. I was a really diligent nerd(令人厌烦的人).

　　Yet at the end of the semester when report cards came out, I had an “A” next to my English class, and I realized that the letter he had written on my report card was just a way to make me work harder than I ever had.He made me push myself to think deeper, write better, and analyze more thoroughly. He didn’t hate me as I initially thought, and I looked back embarrassed about all those times when I showed frustration and dissatisfaction with a returned grade.

　　He would write a positive comment on one of my papers that would invigorate_me to work even harder even if I made a little bit progress. These sporadic (零星的) good words would motivate me to do whatever it took to earn those praising comments on my next paper and push me to try and top my last assignment. After we all improved he expected perfection and those high standards made all of us better writers, creators, good students, and useful people.

　　Mr. Goodney inspired me to become an English teacher although I felt like I fell below his standards in a classroom. Now I have become a high school teacher. Thinking of him from time to time makes me try to come up with fresh and creative teaching ways just as he did.

　　From my experience I believe a good teacher is very important. Mr. Goodney inspires me to this day, and I wish I could travel back to the 9th grade for just one day in the old classroom, so I can fully thank him, which I didn’t do at that time.

　　1. According to the passage, Mr. Goodney graded the author________.

　　A．in order to encourage him

　　3. The underlined words “invigorate me” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by________.

　　D．offer me help
