9、gry men appear to gain influence in a group, but angry women lose influence, according to anew study. Researchers from Arizona State University (ASU) published their findings in the journal Law and Human Behavior. Jessica Salerno is a psychologist and was co-author of the study. The findings suggest
10、 that “women might not have the same opportunity for influence when they express anger”.The study found that when men expressed their opinion with anger, participants rated them asmore believable. But when women expressed anger, they were viewed as more emotional and, thus, less convincing. In other
11、 words, a man could benefit from using anger in power and persuasion. A woman, however, could be ignored or hurt by her group if she expressed anger.The study was based on the responses of 210 students. They were shown evidence and photographsonline from a real murder trial. A man was said to have m
12、urdered his wife. The students were asked to decide if the man was guilty or not.Before making their decision, the students discussed the case online with five jurors (陪审 员). Butthese were not real jurors: They were computers making responses and comments back to the students. Some of the fake juror
13、s had male identities. Others had female identities.Some male jurors were angry about the judgment. When this happened, the students reacted bydoubting their own decisions about the case. Confidence in their responses on the judgment “dropped obviously,” said the study. But when female jurors seemed
14、 angry, the student participants “became obviously more confident in their 1original judgments,” the study found.The study could have wider importance. “Our results have implications for any woman who istrying to have influence on a decision in their workplace and everyday lives,” said Salerno. She
15、added that in a political debate, a female candidate might have less influence if she shows anger.4.

18、ets on the train from 1959 to 1965 Clive Codrington, pointed out that thetracks which passed through Knollys Tunnel and the area of Tabaquite were not originally intended for passenger trains. “They were really used for the transport of cocoa and coffee,” he saidConstruction on Knollys Tunnel began
19、in 1896, and it was opened on August 13th, 1898 by theman it was named after-Sir Clement C Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knollys Tunnel has stood up to the earths movement ove
20、r so many years. Much research is being done on the tunnel.At the top of Knollys Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knollys Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been
21、removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not insideOn your way in, you may notice some manholes on the
22、walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knollys Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to
23、Knollys Tunnel.On the drive to Knollys Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoynature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets. A gas station and a health centre are als

27、nnelD.To witness the change of Knollys Tunnel DIts not an urban legend: crime rates do rise in fact in the summer in the U.S. A study found that,with the exception of robbery and auto theft, rates of all violent and property crimes are higher during the summer than during other months. The study exa
28、mined data collected during 8 years, which included violent and property crimes that did not result in death, both reported and not reported to the police.The data show that, though the national crime rate dropped by 70 percent during recent years,seasonal explosions in summer remain. In some cases
29、those explosions are 12 percent higher than rates during seasons in which the lows occur. The phenomenon confuses many criminologists, and they wonder why.Some reason that increased temperatures, which drive many out of doors and leave windows openin their homes, raise the amount of time when homes
30、are left empty. Others point to the effect of students on summer vacation who are otherwise occupied with schooling during other seasons, whilesome argue that suffering heat-induced (热 诱 导 的 ) discomfort simply makes people more aggressiveand likely to act out.Although these elements possess certain
31、 persuasive power, their rationality (合理性) is called into question when cases in winter are put on the map. Why arent the rates in winter falling if heat related factors are to blame for the summer explosion? Contrarily, the matter should be viewed from social and economic angles rather than on sola
32、r terms.Numerous studies have shown that rates of criminal behavior among young adults drop when theircommunities provide them with other ways to spend their time and earn money. This was found to be true in Los Angeles, where gang activity was reduced when community centers for teens were thriving大

Its probably because its even harder for youngster to land jobs that provide for life necessities.So if officia
34、ls want to address the summer explosion in crime, they may act differently instead ofaiming straight at crimes. Simply upgrading security and severely punishing offences almost produce useless effects. Instead, be open to various options and they will find that development of job hunting agencies or
