13、a thin but useful piece of information about their wearers,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. “Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal(非语言的) indications with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they
14、and others wear.”Medical Daily notes that the details detected in the study include a persons general age, sex, income, political affiliation(派别), and other personality characteristics, including someones emotional stability.Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, co
15、st, color, and condition of someones shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the studys participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionn
16、aire.So, some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(外向者).However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more
17、 “agreeable” people, while ankle boots went more closely with “aggressive” personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from “
18、attachment anxiety”, spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask
19、their actual personality characteristics, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing deep awareness into their personalities.21 According to Omri Gillath, a strangers personality can be judged by _.A. the age and sex of the personB.
20、the personality questionnaire by the personC. the emotional stability of the personD. the shoes the person wears22 Which result is the most unexpected? A. People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes.B. Flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts.C. Some people will choose sh
21、oe styles to mask their actual personality characteristic.D. Those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.23 The underlined word “agreeable” is closest in meaning to _.A. gentle B. weak C. generous D. poor24 Which might be the best title for the passage?A. Good Shoe
22、s, Good Character B. Bad Shoes, Bad PersonalityC. Shoes and Their Wearers Personality D. Shoes Shape A Persons CharacterBIm seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. It
23、was hard work.While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, “Mr Castle, how are you?“ We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, “It was nice talking to you, Brett.“ I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked do
24、wn at my name plate. Oh, no. He didnt remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving“ down on my name plate. If hed have said, “Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?“ Id have been ready for him. Theres nothing personal here.The manager and everyone else who were a step a
25、bove the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldnt accept tips. Okay, Im outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me. Id say, “Im sorry, I cant.“ Theyd get angry. When you give someone a tip, youre sort of
26、 being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say, “Oh, thanks a lot.“ When you say, “Im sorry, I cant.“ They feel a little put down. They say, “No one will know.“ And they put it in your pocket. You say, “I really cant.“ It gets to a point where you almost ha
27、ve to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the stores belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendlything and made the customer feel good. I just couldnt understand the strangeness of some peoples ideas.One lady actually put it in my pocket,
28、 got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.25 What can be the best title for this t
29、ext?A. How Hard Life Is for Box Boys B. Getting along with CustomersC. Why I Gave up My Job D. The Art of Taking Tips26 From the second paragraph, we can infer that _.A. the writer didnt like the impersonal part of his jobB. with a name plate, people can easily start talkingC. Mr Castle mistook Irvi
30、ng for BrettD. Mr Castle didnt remember the writer at all27 The box boy refused to accept tips because _.A. customers only gave small tipsB. some customers had strange ideas about tippingC. the store didnt allow the box boys to take tipsD. he didnt want to fight with the customers28 The underlined p
31、hrase “put down“ in the third paragraph probably means_.A. misunderstood B. defeated C. hateful D. hurtCIf youre tired of the Mediterranean and dont want to head to Disney again, perhaps its time for a summer holiday in space. Russia has declared plans for its first floating hotel, 217 miles above e
32、arth, and it is something of an offering with good service.Hosting just seven guests in a four cabins, the accommodation will boast huge windows with views back to earth and tasty microwave meals will be served instead of the ones often used by astronauts.Just getting there will be an adventure in i
33、tselfit will take two days aboard a Soyuz rocketand it wont exactly be a budget holiday: A five-day stay will cost you100, 000 to500, 000 for your journey. The hotel is due to open by 2016 and, according to those behind it, will be far more comfortable than the International Space Station (ISS) used
34、 by astronauts and cosmonauts.In the weightlessness of space, visitors can choose to have beds that are either vertical or horizontal. Tourists, who will be accompanied by experienced crew, will dine on food prepared on Earth and sent up on the rocket, to be reheated in microwave ovens. Many kinds o
35、f delicacies will be available.Iced tea, mineral water and fruit juices will be available, but alcohol will be strictly prohibited. Toilets will use flowing air instead of water to move waste through the system. Waste water will be recycled.Sergei Kostenko, chief executive of Orbital Technologies wh
36、ich will construct the hotel, said: “Our planned module inside will not remind you of the International Space Station. A hotel should be comfortable inside, and it will be possible to look at the Earth. The hotel will be aimed at wealthy individuals and people working for private companies who want
37、to do research in space.” The hotel can also be used as an emergency bolthole (避难处) for astronauts aboard the International Space Station if there is a crisis.29 Which can be the best title of the passage?A. Russia declares the design for its first space hotelB. The first space hotel is under constr
38、uction nowC. The astronauts will have a second home in spaceD. Russia has the advanced technology in exploring space30 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.

39、windows so that tourists can see the earth.C. The company, Orbital Technologies, has already begun to build the space hotel.D. In the near future, a space trip for most of the people can be realized.31 What kind of accommodation will the guests have in the space hotel?A. They will have the same food
40、 as the astronauts have.B. Many kinds of drinks are available including alcohol.C. Guests can have beds that are either vertical or horizontal.D. Tourists are accompanied by the astronauts from the ISS.DHi, everybody. On Friday, I had a discussion with working women in Rhode Island about the economi
41、c challenges they face in their own liveschallenges shared by many of you.Thanks to the work weve all put in, our economy has come a long way these past six years. Over the past 55 months, our businesses have added 10.3 million new jobs. For the first time in six years, the unemployment rate is belo
42、w 6 percent. And on Thursday, we learned that over the past six months, our economy has grown at its fastest pace since 2003.But the gains of a growing economy arent yet felt by everyone. So weve got to harness（增强） this momentum（动力）, and make the right choices so that everyone who works hard can get
43、 ahead.In recent weeks, Ive talked about these choices, from raising the minimum wage to creating new jobs in construction and manufacturing. Today, I want to focus on what I discussed with those women the choices we need to make to help more women get ahead in todays economy.Right now, women make u
44、p almost half of our workers. More women are their familys main breadwinner than ever before. So the simple truth is, when women succeed, America succeeds. And we should be choosing policies that benefit womenbecause that benefits all of us.Women deserve fair pay. Even though its 2014, there are wom
45、en still earning less than men for doing the same work. We dont have second-class citizens in this countrywe shouldnt in the workplace, either. So lets make sure women earn equal pay for equal work, and have a fair shot at success.Women deserve to be able to take time off to care for a new baby, an
46、ailing parent, or take a sick day for themselves without running into hardship. So lets make sure all Americans have access to paid family leave(带薪休假).Pregnant workers deserve to be treated fairly. Even today, women can be fired for taking too many bathroom breaks, or forced on unpaid leave just for
47、 being pregnant. Thats wrongand we have to choose policies that ensure pregnant workers are treated with dignity and respect.New parents deserve quality, affordable childcare. Theres nothing like the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your kids are safe while youre at work. And the benefits
48、that children get out of early enrichment can pay off for a lifetime. But in many states, sending your kid to daycare costs more than sending them to a public university. So lets start demanding Pre-K for our kids.And when most low-wage workers are women, but Congress hasnt passed a minimum wage inc
49、rease in seven years, its long past time that women deserve a raise. About 28 million workers would benefit from an increase in the minimum wage to ten dollars and ten cents an hour. And more than half of those workers are women. The local businesses where these workers spend their money would benefit, too. So lets do this - lets give America a raise.All of these policies are common sense. All of
