Principles of Governing Persuasion
If leadership consists of getting thing done through others, then persuasion is one of the leader's essential tools. Many executives have assumed that this tool is beyond their grasp,available only to the charismatic (有魅力的 ) and the eloquent. Over the past several decades,though, experimental psychologists have learned which methods (eliably lead people to concede,comply, or change. Their research shows that persuasion is governed by several principles that can be taught and applied.
The first principle is that people are more likely to follow someone who is similar to them than someone who is not. Wise managers, then, ask peers to help make their cases. Second,people are more willing to cooperate with those who are not only like them but who like them,as well. So it's worth the time to uncover real similarities and offer genuinepraise. Third,experiments confirm the intuitive truth that people tend to treat you the way you treat them. It's sound policy to do a favor before seeking one. Fourth, individuals are more likely to keep promises they make voluntarily and clearly. The message .for managers here is to get commitments in writing. Fifth, studies show that people really do defer to (服從) experts. So before they attempt to exert influence, executives should take pains to establish their own expertise and not assume that it's self-evident. Finally, people want more of a commodity when it's scarce; it follows, then, that exclusive information is more persuasive than widely available data.

Science Fiction
1. Amongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published "every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
2. It is often thought that science fiction is a fairy new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presetatation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
3. Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Veme and H. G Wells, to mention just two well-known authors have been translated into many languages.
4. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars (火星) or space adventure stories . They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this, their writing has obvious political undertones (含義).
5. In an age where science fact frequently overtakes (超過) science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.

第一篇
Optimism
Ever won the lottery? No? But did that stop you buying another lottery ticket? If the answer is another "no", you might call yourself an optimist.
According to researchers at University College London, human beings are sanguine creatures. It is all in the brain, they say. A study suggests that human brain is very efficient at processing good news: about 80% of people have a tendency to see the glasses half-full, not half-empty, even if they don't consider themselves to be optimists.
The good news is that this brings a health benefit. Having a positive outlook on life reduces anxiety. A study of nearly 100, 000 women showed a lower risk of death from heart disease among optimists.
But there are problems in always having an optimistic attitude. The authors of the study point out that the 2008 financial crisis may have been caused by analysts overestmafing their assets' performance even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary.
There are personal health risks too. Dr Tali Sharot, lead researcher, said: " Smoking Kills' messages don't work since people think their chances of cancer are low. There's a very fundamental tendency in the brain. "
But, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. Even if seeing the world through rose-colored glasses poses a risk to our health, it's not something that is likely to cause us to lose sleep. Let's just keep our chins up and keep smiling!
What does "sanguine" (Para. 2) mean?
A．depressed
B．cheerful
C．lucky
D．emotional
32、The study mentioned in Paragraph 2 indicates that people
A．a(chǎn)re more optimistic than they believe
B．a(chǎn)re less optimistic than they believe
C．like good news more than they' think
D．like good news less than they think
33、What mistake might analysts have made during the 2008 financial crisis?
A．Collecting false information.
B．Overemphasizing evidence.
C．Misjudging the situation.
D．Giving a pessimistic forecast.
34、The author suggests in the last paragraph that we
A．a(chǎn)djust our goals in life
B．learn to release bad mood
C．a(chǎn)void being overoptimistic
D．maintain a positive attitude
35、What is the main idea of the passage?
A．People tend to be optimistic even in crisis
B．Optimists enjoy life better than pessimists.
C．Being optimistic has both benefits and risks.
D．Optimism is what keeps us going forward.

IOC's Official Problems
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has launched an investigation into allegations that its officials in more than 50 countries have been selling London Olympics tickets on the black market for profit. The IOC met at an emergency session on Saturday to look into a pile of evidence uncovered by Britain's Sunday Times newspaper.

The IOC has issued a statement saying it "takes these allegations very seriously and has immediately taken the first steps to investigate. "
IOC rules forbid national Olympics committees from selling tickets, overseas, increasing ticket prices or selling tickets to unauthorized, third-party resellers. Despite this, Sunday Times undercover reporters posing as illegal ticket sellers say they have recorded evidence of 27 officials selling tickets distributed to 54 countries. One of the most serious allegations was against the Greek Olympic Committee president Spyros Capralos. He denies saying he had "pulled strings" with the head of the London Olympics Sebastian Coe even though the paper posted videos of its reporters' negotiations with Capralos on its Website. Mr Capralos has so far refused to comment.

Psychology of Shopping
People can be addicted to different things -- e.g. alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such addition are compulsive, i.e. they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational- impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit,charge accounts are even more exciting than money.
In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy. There is special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, 0f course,most people search for sales, low prices and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however,often buy things they don't need just only because they are cheap. They believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winners. Most people, experts claim,have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for things that they do and the real one.
Of course, it is not only scientists who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business:they consider people's needs for love, power, or influence, their basic value, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists can often use a method called "behavior therapy" to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.

A．because they feel satisfied if they spend less moneythan others
B．because they have money problem
C．because they like to show off their success in getting things for less money
D．because they want to save money to help their budget
44、According to the passage, which of the following is true?__________.

Free Statim (降膽固醇藥物) With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs free of (51) so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London (52) in a new study.
Statins reduce the (53) of unhealthy "LDL" cholesterol (低密度脂蛋白膽固醇) in the blood. A group of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a person's heart attack (54) In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology, Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is (55) to offset the increase in heart attack risk from (56) a cheeseburger and drinking a milkshake.
Dr Francs, from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London, who is the senior author of the study, said: "Statins don't cut out all of the (57) effects of cheeseburgers and French fries. It's better to avoid fatty food altogether. But we've worked out that in terms of your (58) of having a heart attack, taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same (59) as a fast food meal increases it. " "It's ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthy condiments in fast food outlets as they (60), but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It makes sense to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are (61) free of charge. It would cost less than 5 pence per (62) not much different to a sachet of sugar. " Dr Francis said.
When people engage in risky behaviors like driving or smoking, they're encouraged to take63 that lower their risk, like (64) a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. Taking a statin is a rational way of (65) some of the risks of eating a fatty meal.

Science Fiction
1. Amongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published "every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
2. It is often thought that science fiction is a fairy new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presetatation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
3. Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Veme and H. G Wells, to mention just two well-known authors have been translated into many languages.
4. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars (火星) or space adventure stories . They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this, their writing has obvious political undertones (含義).
5. In an age where science fact frequently overtakes (超過) science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.

Optimism
Ever won the lottery? No? But did that stop you buying another lottery ticket? If the answer is another "no", you might call yourself an optimist.
According to researchers at University College London, human beings are sanguine creatures. It is all in the brain, they say. A study suggests that human brain is very efficient at processing good news: about 80% of people have a tendency to see the glasses half-full, not half-empty, even if they don't consider themselves to be optimists.
The good news is that this brings a health benefit. Having a positive outlook on life reduces anxiety. A study of nearly 100, 000 women showed a lower risk of death from heart disease among optimists.
But there are problems in always having an optimistic attitude. The authors of the study point out that the 2008 financial crisis may have been caused by analysts overestmafing their assets' performance even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary.
There are personal health risks too. Dr Tali Sharot, lead researcher, said: " Smoking Kills' messages don't work since people think their chances of cancer are low. There's a very fundamental tendency in the brain. "
But, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. Even if seeing the world through rose-colored glasses poses a risk to our health, it's not something that is likely to cause us to lose sleep. Let's just keep our chins up and keep smiling!
What does "sanguine" (Para. 2) mean?
A．depressed
B．cheerful
C．lucky
D．emotional
32、The study mentioned in Paragraph 2 indicates that people
A．a(chǎn)re more optimistic than they believe
B．a(chǎn)re less optimistic than they believe
C．like good news more than they' think
D．like good news less than they think
33、What mistake might analysts have made during the 2008 financial crisis?
A．Collecting false information.
B．Overemphasizing evidence.
C．Misjudging the situation.
D．Giving a pessimistic forecast.
34、The author suggests in the last paragraph that we
A．a(chǎn)djust our goals in life
B．learn to release bad mood
C．a(chǎn)void being overoptimistic
D．maintain a positive attitude
35、What is the main idea of the passage?
A．People tend to be optimistic even in crisis
B．Optimists enjoy life better than pessimists.
C．Being optimistic has both benefits and risks.
D．Optimism is what keeps us going forward.

Psychology of Shopping
People can be addicted to different things -- e.g. alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such addition are compulsive, i.e. they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational- impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit,charge accounts are even more exciting than money.
In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy. There is special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, 0f course,most people search for sales, low prices and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however,often buy things they don't need just only because they are cheap. They believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winners. Most people, experts claim,have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for things that they do and the real one.
Of course, it is not only scientists who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business:they consider people's needs for love, power, or influence, their basic value, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists can often use a method called "behavior therapy" to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.

Free Statim (降膽固醇藥物) With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs free of (51) so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London (52) in a new study.
Statins reduce the (53) of unhealthy "LDL" cholesterol (低密度脂蛋白膽固醇) in the blood. A group of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a person's heart attack (54) In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology, Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is (55) to offset the increase in heart attack risk from (56) a cheeseburger and drinking a milkshake.
Dr Francs, from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London, who is the senior author of the study, said: "Statins don't cut out all of the (57) effects of cheeseburgers and French fries. It's better to avoid fatty food altogether. But we've worked out that in terms of your (58) of having a heart attack, taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same (59) as a fast food meal increases it. " "It's ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthy condiments in fast food outlets as they (60), but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It makes sense to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are (61) free of charge. It would cost less than 5 pence per (62) not much different to a sachet of sugar. " Dr Francis said.
When people engage in risky behaviors like driving or smoking, they're encouraged to take63 that lower their risk, like (64) a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. Taking a statin is a rational way of (65) some of the risks of eating a fatty meal.
