D

Can you figure out someone’s name just by looking at him or her?

The answer may not be a definite “yes”, but a study by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, found that you would at least have a clue, since people with certain names tend to share similar facial appearances.

For example, if someone is named Bob, he’s likely to have a round and joyful face, while someone named Tim tends to have a narrower face and a more serious look.

People have long been associating names with certain cultural expectations, which may be responsible for the study’s results. For example, a woman named Katherine is usually considered to be more reliable than a girl named Bonnie. Previous studies also found that people with traditionally African-American names such as DeShawn and Jamal are more likely to be seen as dangerous and violent by their teachers and are less likely to be hired in jobs.

These stereotypes(固定模式)have become so widespread that they’ve even affected how people look at themselves. In fact, people tend to subconsciously(下意识地)change their own personalities to fit into these stereotypes—Katherines may try hard to be trustworthy and Bonnies may care less about the mistakes they make.

“We develop the personality that other people expect us to exhibit,” said lead researcher Youat Zwebner, according to The Telegraph. In other words, it’s not that names change people, but people try to live up to their names.

And our faces may even change over time, based on these stereotypes.

“Usually, we think that faces are very fixed but now we show that they’re not,” the study’s co-author Ruth Mayo told UK’s iNews.

According to Mayo, the use of different facial expressions can allow people to develop different looks. “If you smile a lot, you have different wrinkles around your eyes and your mouth from if you frown(皱眉)a lot,” she said.

32. Why did the author use the names Bob and Tim as an example? A. To prove the influence of names on our emotions. B. To present the cultural expectations of certain names. C. To show the correct method of guessing someone’s name. D. To explain the possible connections between names and looks.

33. Which of the following are considered cultural stereotypes by the author? A. A boy name Tim tends to be cautious. B. A boy named Jamal tends to be violent. C. A boy named DeShawn appears dangerous.

D. A girl named Bonnie is likely to be seen as joyful.

34. Which of the following would Yonat Zwebner probably agree with? A. People’s faces become fixed as they grow into adults. B. The way people are looked at changes their personalities. C. People could change their personalities by using different names. D. People should focus on sound and meaning when choosing names. 35. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Name may make looks

B. Name can change people

C. Appearance may affect jobs D. Appearance can carry culture. 笫二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Self-talk helps us all

Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you’ve ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech, you’ll know the social problems it can cause. 36 Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is valuable. Far from being a sign of madness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities and control our emotions.

Psychologists call self-talk private speech-language that is spoken out loud but directed at yourself. We do a lot of it when we are young. As children, we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others. 37 Psychological experiments have shown that this so-called inner speech can improve our performance in tasks like telling what other people are thinking. One recent study suggests that self-talk

is the most effective when we talk to ourselves in the second person: as “you” rather than “I” .

We keep the private speech we use as children inside—but we never truly put away the out-loud version. 38 You’re sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or herself. 39 Hearing different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different places, leading to a solution to a problem, just like a regular dialogue, and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.

Both kinds of self-talk-silent and out loud-seem to bring many different benefits to our thinking. 40 A. But there’s no need for embarrassment. B. If you want proof, turn on a sports channel. C. As we grow older, we keep this system inside.

D. Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with toys. E. Words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than just chatter. F. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness. G. Self-talk seems to be a very good way of solving problems and working through ideas.
