21、Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger’s personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.
“Shoes convey 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 and others wear.”
Medical Daily notes that the details detected in the study include a person’s general age, sex, income, political affiliation(派别), and other personality characteristics, including someone’s emotional stability.
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color, and condition of someone’s shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study’s participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
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 “agreeable” people, while ankle boots went more closely with “aggressive” personalities.
The strangers 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 “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 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.
【1】According to Omri Gillath, a stranger’s personality can be judged by ___.
A. the age and sex of the person
B. the personality questionnaire by the person
C. the emotional stability of the person
D. the shoes the person wearst
【2】We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ___.
A. a practical purpose is to wear shoes
B. people want to buy new shoes they pay attention to
C. shoes are vital to their wearers
D. the Journal of Research in Personality is a magazine
【3】The underlined word “agreeable” is closest in meaning to __.
A. gentle B. weak C. generous D. considerate
【4】 Which might be the best title for the passage?
A. Good Shoes, Good Character
B. Bad Shoes, Bad Personality
C. Shoes and Their Wearers’ Personality
D. Shoes Shape A Person’s Character
22、All those Christmas toys and books may spread more than good cheer. A new study has concluded that two common bacteria that cause colds, ear infections and sore throat can live for long periods on the surfaces of toys, books, and other items, even after being cleaned.
The findings just published in the journal Infection and Immunity show some bacteria continue to exist on surfaces for far longer than that has been believed.
The researchers said the study suggests that additional preventive measures may be necessary to prevent infections, especially in settings such as schools, daycare centers, and hospitals. “These findings should make us more cautious about bacteria in the environment since they change our ideas about how these particular bacteria are spread, ” said Anders Hakansson, assistant professor of microbiology andI immunology in UB. “Never before has any paper directly proved that these bacteria can survive well on various surfaces, including hands, and potentially spread between individuals. ”
S. pneumoniae(肺炎链球菌)is widespread in daycare centers and a common cause of hospital infections. Hakansson explained to us that it commonly causes sore throat and skin infections in children and adults.
To reach their conclusions, the UB researchers tested the surfaces of toys in a daycare center. They found four out of five toys tested positive for S. pneumoniae and several sur- faces, such as baby beds, tested positive for S. pyogenes(化脓性链球菌), even after being cleaned. The testing was done just before the center opening in the morning so it had been many hours since the last human contact.
“Bacterial colonization(细菌增殖)doesn’t, by itself, cause infection but it’s a necessary first step if an infection is going to become established in a human host, ” Hakansson explains, “Children, the elderly and others with weak immune systems are easily infected. ”
【1】What does the study find?
A．Schools need more preventive measures.
B．Bacteria seriously affect children’s health.
C．Child-related toys can spread many diseases.
D．Two bacteria can live on items for a long time.
【2】Which of the following can best describe the findings?
A．Interesting.
B．Shocking.
C．Pioneering.
D．Frightening.
【3】Why are the tests mentioned in paragraph 5?
A．To give some relevant examples.
B．To show the reasons for the study.
C．To list some experimental methods.
D．To provide support for the findings.
【4】What is the key factor in the formation of infection according to Anders Hakansson?
A．Immune systems.
B．Bacterial colonization.
C．S. pneumoniae.
D．S. pyogenes.

24、About 20 years ago, Daniel Hoffman, a classically trained violinist met a young musician playing in the town square in Marrakech, an ancient city in Morocco. They communicated in the little French they both knew, but their main common language was music. On the back of a motorbike of the fellow violinist, Hoffman weaved through the back streets of the city and then learned his first lessons in Andalusian music, the classical music of North Africa.
That experience gave birth to an idea: What would it be like to try to learn how to play different violin styles around the world in just one week? Oh. yes, and at the end of that week, play a concert. He even got a name for the concept “musical extreme sports”.
It took him almost two decades to launch that dream with a friend, who introduced him to the wonders of Kickstarter, a funding platform for creative projects. Up to now, the dream has taken the form of a new documentary currently airing on American public television stations called “Otherwise, It’s Just Firewood.”
In the documentary, Hoffman travels to County Clare, Ireland, where he takes lessons with James Kelly, a master Irish violin player, for less than a week and then performs together with him in front of an audience, many of whom are star Irish musicians.
The film is what Hoffman hopes will be the first of an eventual series of short documentaries, showing him learning to play the violin in a variety of styles, including the folk music of south India, Sweden, Greece, Romania, and West Virginia.
That would add to his extensive repertoire (全部曲目), which already includes Balkan, Middle Eastern, and Turkish styles. “The big joke is what’s the difference between the fiddle and the violin? It’s the person who plays it,” says Niall Keegan, a traditional flute player. “It’s the music you make on it that makes it Irish or English or French or classical or jazz or whatever else. It’s how we imagine it and how we create through it that make it and give it character.”
“Otherwise, it’s just firewood,” he says, words that became the film’s title.
【1】Where does Hoffman’s idea of musical extreme sports come from?
A．His exploration of the local music.
B．His cooperation with the young violinist.
C．His sightseeing tour on a motorbike seat.
D．His constantly changing taste in violin styles.
【2】According to the passage, the series of documentaries ________.
A．help Hoffman to become a master violin player
B．are funded by American public television stations
C．introduce different styles of musicians around the world
D．record Hoffman’s experience in learning various violin styles
【3】The title of the documentary “Otherwise, It’s Just Firewood” is used to emphasize ________.
A．the power of diversified artistic expression
