If you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception (認(rèn)知) of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality.

    The study, which was led by Gary W.Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers.In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.

    After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual' s becoming a friend and a dating partner.Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive (認(rèn)知的) processes modify (修改) judgments of attractiveness.

    "Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind," said Lewandowski.

    The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive.The findings remained consistent regardless of how "attractive" the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants' current relationship status.

    "This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people's impressions of how good-looking you are," said Lewandowski.

66.In the study the participants were required to _____.

    A.try to make friends with each other

    B.try to prove positive characters make people more attractive

    C.exhibit negative characters such as unfairness and rudeness

    D.rate one's attractiveness by photos before and after knowing her or his personality

67.What's the CORRECT order of how cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness?

    a.find a person with a positive personality

    b.view the person more physically attractive

    c.want to make friends with the person

    d.want to be his/ her romantic partner

    A.a(chǎn)→c→d→b   B.d→c→b→a    

    C.c→b→a→d     D.a(chǎn)→d→c→b

68.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?

    A.The research reminds people to pay more attention to the personality.

    B.Personality can change people's impressions of one's appearance.

    C.The judgment of one's attractiveness always stays unchanged.

    D.Positive personality may lead to more friends.

69.The passage is written in a(n) _____ tone.

     When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or   for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For   I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story   than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember   the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For   instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the   story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and   cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in   the speech of a 13 character.

           

   Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and   so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (費(fèi)心)   about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of   English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of   stories or 18 is called the general reader.

           

   As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20.   Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21   you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own.   Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases;   negatively (負(fù)面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in   expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent   copying is a help to 25 by heart.

The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself.  It should state   1   the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   2  . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without   3   out any necessary fact.

In writing a letter of application,  keep in   4   that the things a possible employer is most   5   to want to know about are your qualifications(條件), your achievements and your aims.  The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   6   the first few sentences fail to   7   the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be   8   at all.  Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not   9   your own need or desires.  For example,  instead of beginning with “I save your   10   in today’s paper”, you might say “I have made a careful   11   of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   12   your product and why they like it”.

Try to   13   generalities.  Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   14  . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I provide in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no   15   has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is   16  .

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.   17   a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.  An excellent   18   is to enclose(內(nèi)附) a stamped,  self-addressed envelope with your letter.  That makes it   19   for a possible employer to get in   20   with you.
