I hate my co-workers. Help, please!- AmyAnswer: That does sound unpleasant. It might be time for a career switch, and I have some suggestions, though a few require time travel.Perhaps you should apply to be a tosher, an occupation that involved wandering through sewers (下水道) to look for small decorative objects in the 19th century. It would certainly get you out of that office. Or you could work as a night soil man, who carried excrement from toilets to the edge of town.What Im saying is: Mary jobs today are terrible. But relatively speaking, they are much less terrible and smelly than jobs in the past.Ive got plenty more to make you feel better. According to the book The worst Jobs in History by Tony Robison, the dullest job ever could have belonged to treadmill (踏车) walkers, the folks who walked with slow heavy steps all day without access to entertainment when treadmills were used to press grain into flour. The saddest? Definitely the pleasures of the 18th-century French theater, who were paid to weep during dramas.And Im not even counting all the hundreds of modern jobs that are probably worse than yours. So whats my professional advice? Unless your performance involves packs of fans booing (发出嘘声) and laughing at you while you work, keep your day job.- Jacobs56. By referring to “time travel”, Jacobs _.A. suggests that Amy go on a long journey B. suggests that Amy recall her past careersC. wants to mention some jobs in olden days D. wants to pare jobs of different times57. Whats Jacobs advice to Amy?A. Enough is as good as feast.B. Every bird likes it own nest.C. Each day brings its own bread.D. Empty bottles make the most noise.BWhat are the practical results of the crazy pursuit of beauty? The exercises, the health motors or the skin foods to what have they led? Are women more beautiful than they were? These are questions which it is difficult to answer. The campaign for more physical beauty seems to be both a success and a failure. It depends how you look at the results.It is a success to some degree as more women keep their youthful appearance to a greater age than in the past. “Old ladies” are already being rare. In a few years, we may well believe, they will be extinct. The Portrait of the Artists Mother will e to be almost indistinguishable, at future picture shows, from the Portrait of the Artists Daughter. This desirable beauty will be due in part to skin foods and facial surgery, and in part to improved health. Ugliness is one of the symptoms of disease; beauty, of health. As the campaign for more beauty is also a campaign for more health, it is admirable. Still, it has problems. Indeed, with the development of technology, people have bee healthier and more beautiful, but will every woman be beautiful as beautiful, at any rate, as the natural shape of her features, with or without surgical and chemical aid, permits?The answer is no. Real beauty is as much an affair of the inner self as on the outer self. The beauty of a china jar is a matter of shape and of color. The jar may be empty or occupied by spiders, full of honey or smelly slime (黏液) - it makes no difference to its beauty or ugliness. But a woman is alive, and her beauty is therefore not skin deep. The surface of the human vessel is affected by the nature of its spiritual contents.I have seen lovely women. Their shape and their color were perfect. And yet they were not beautiful. For the lovely vase was either empty or filled with some ugly things. Spiritual emptiness or ugliness shows through. In contrast, there is an inner light that can change imperfect or ugly forms into things that are beautiful and attractive.58. In what way can we say the campaign for more beauty is a success?A. People are beginning to pay attention to their appearance.B. It has bee much easier for painters to draw old ladies.C. Women look younger than previous generations.D. Knowledge about health has increased hugely.59. What does the author think about the view that beauty represents health?A. Its wrong.B. Its popular. C. It benefits people.C. It needs evidence.60. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A. B. C. D. CWhy are some people more persuasive than others? We bring together some researches into the science of persuasion.An American researcher, Edward Burkley, studied the influence of mental exhaustion on the resistance levels of 78 students. The plan was to try to persuade them to accept one months summer holiday instead of three. Half the students came to the study fresh. But the other half first had to plete a self-control task in which they wrote down all the thoughts that came into their heads while trying not to think about a white bear. He found that the students who had performed the white bear task were less resistant to the idea of giving up two months of holiday.Two other researchers, Rosanna Guadagno and Robert Cialdini, pared the persuasive power of online munication with face-to-face meetings. They had a group of students discuss the introduction of new exams. The group was divided into pairs of the same sex, each pair including an experimenter whose role was to argue in favor of the idea. Half the discussions took place in an online chatroom, the other half face-to-face. While overall men performed similarly whether they participated in the electronic or face-to-face discussions, women in face-to-face discussions were more easily persuaded than those who only took part online.In another experiment, John Sparks and Charles Areni asked 118 undergraduates to read testimonials(推荐书) about a scanner. In one version, the testimonials included hesitation like “I mean” and “ummm”; in the other, there were none. The researchers found that when hesitant language was used, people were less easily convinced that this was a scanner worth buying even when it was a better scanner at a lower price. Style was especially important, the researchers found, when time was limited. “If you cant pay attention to what the speaker is saying,” Sparks says, “you pay attention to how they say it.”Much study has gone into how emotions aid persuasion. The best known and most studied is fear. It serves well in campaigns that try to stop you from doing something, like smoking. But fear doesnt always work, says Professor Monique Mitchell Turner, and over time, people bee more resistant to scare methods. The same applies to guilt. “We dont want people to tell us were bad people,” says Turner. Anger, however, can be constructively used.61. Whats the aim of the white bear task?A. To make participants feel tired mentally.B. To see what participants know about white bears.C. To find out how well participants can control themselves.D. To help persuade participants to accept a one-month holiday.62. We learn from Paragraph 3 that if a woman wants to persuade another woman, she can _.A. ask a man to support her B. behave in an aggressive wayC. talk to the woman face to face D. municate with the woman online63. According to John Sparks and Charles Arenis research, what is important for a testimonial?A. The product price.B. The writing style.C. The quality of the product.D. The length of the testimonial.64. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. How to use anger to persuade.B. Turners other research findings.C. Why emotions can help to persuade.D. Peoples resistance to anger methods.DA college degree has never been more necessary: graduate earn, on average, 80% more than high-school graduates. Yet ever more Americans are taking on serious debt in exchange for that diploma. Between xx and xx, student-loan balances more than tripled to nearly $1.2 trillion. The average debtor leaves college owing around $27,000.Some of this mounting debt is good news. More Americans are going to collegeundergraduate enrolment rose by nearly 40% between xx and xx, according to the National Centre for Education Statistics. Many are also staying around for a second degree. Average tuition fees have surged, rising by 40% in the decade to xx-16 for full-time students at public four-year colleges, and 26% at private ones. Those who take longer to graduateas many increasingly dosimply rack up more loans.Unpaid student loans are now second only to mortgages(抵押贷款) when it es to household debt in America. Though the housing market has been steadily recovering, the share of first-time buyers continues to decline, and is now at its lowest point in nearly three decades, according to the National Association of Realtors. The home-ownership rate among 30-year-olds has been falling, but the fall has been especially fast among those paying off student loans, according to the New York Fed.So are the soaring costs of college keeping millennials from starting households of their own? Using longitudinal(纵向的) data on college-going Americans who were aged between 12 and 17 in 1997, the authors found that student-loan debtors were in fact more likely than non-debtors to own a house by the age of 30. But this was mostly because debtors tended to be older, employed, married and with children, and the debt was largely irrelevant.Others have found that student debt may delay home-ownership, but does not prevent it entirely. Young debtors were less likely to own a home than their debt-free peers. Yet when the authors confined their analysis to college graduates, they found that debtors in their late-20s were more likely to own a home than non-debtors. So the reason for the delay in home-buying among those with student loans seems to have been that many had dropped out before earning their degrees.The decline in young home-owners seems to be part of a larger trend of deferring(推迟) the conventional signs of adulthood. The share of 18-to 34-year-olds who are married with children has fallen from 27% in xx to 20% in xx. Several studies have asked whether student debt is nudging youngsters to put off marriage vows and stick to birth control, but the link seems tenuous. As for home-ownership, perhaps the biggest challenge facing young home-buyers is the fact that prices have outpaced ine growth for 15 years.The amount of debt a student has is often less important than the college or the degree. Students with the most debt often have the greatest earning power, as degrees in business, law and medicine tend to be especially costly. The young adults who tend to be most interrupted by their student debt are those who either dropped out or went somewhere non-selective.There are even signs that taking on more student debt reduces the odds of bouncing back home to live with ones parents, as long as it results in a degree. In an analysis of longitudinal data on college-going Americans born between 1980 and 1984, Mr Houle and Cody Warner of Montana State University found that the young adults who returned home tended to be younger, underemployed, modestly indebted and from privil
