so often that i began to use one of their well-known phrases“good times”in my daily conversations. scientists have a name for this phenomenon: behavioral mimicry.youve probably experienced this before: after spending enough time with another person, you might start to pick up on his or her behavior or speech habits. you might even start to develop your friends habits without realizing it. there is a large body of literature concerning this sort of phenomenon, and it regularly happens for everything from body gesture to accents to drink patterns. for example, one study found that young adults were more likely to drink their drink directly after their same-sex drinking partners, than for the two individuals to drink at their own paces.and the effect isnt limited to real-life face-to-face activities. another study found that the same you-drink-then-i-drink pattern held even when watching a movie! in other words, people were more likely to take a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink. at least i dont feel so strange anymore, having picked up on adam carollas “good times”.new research published today in the journal plos one indicates that the same sort of behavioral mimicry is responsible for social eating, at least among university-age women of normal weight. thats right: the young women were more likely to adjust their eating according to the eating pace of their same-sex dining companion.as with most experiments, these results raise a whole new set of questions. however, the finding that behavioral mimicry may at least partly explain eating behavior is important, and has real effects on health. the researchers note that “as long as people dont fully recognize such important influences on intake (eating), it will be difficult to make healthy food choices and keep a healthy diet, especially when people are exposed to the eating behavior of others”.41. the author takes his own example of using “good times” to_.a. express his love for radio showsb. prove the popularity of the showc. show the influence of the hosts wordsd. introduce the topic of the passage42. the underlined word “mimicry” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.a. copyingb. adjustingc. recognitiond. observation43. which of the following is not an example of behavioral mimicry?a. a boy eats his popcorn after watching the actor eat.b. a boy buys a nike shirt when he finds his desk-mate has one.c. a girl unconsciously sits straight just as others do.d. a girl takes on the yorkshire accent after a months stay.44. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.a. behavioral mimicry is beneficial to our healthb. behavioral mimicry decides our eating behaviorc. people have realized the effect of behavioral mimicry on our healthd. its impossible to keep a healthy diet without knowing behavioral mimicry45. what is probably the authors purpose of writing this passage?a. to draw readers attention to popular radio shows.b. to introduce behavioral mimicry and its influence.c. to appeal to readers not to fall into others habits.d. to advocate healthy food choices among readers.b every year, fortune published its

professors in a finance department.b. college graduates seeking for jobs.c. political leaders in the government.d. experts doing research into education.c the lead, or opening paragraph, is the most important part of a news story. with so many sources of information like newspapers, magazines, tv, radio and the internet, readers simply are not willing to read beyond the first paragraph (and even sentence) of a story unless it catches their interest. a good lead does just that. it gives readers the most important information in a clear and interesting manner. it also sets up the voice and direction of an article. here is some advice on how to write a good lead. first, use five ws and an h. before writing a lead, decide which aspects of the storywho, what, when, where, why, how-is most important. you should include these aspects in your lead. wait to explain less important aspects until the second or third sentence. secondly, readers want to know why the story matters to them and they wont wait long for the answer. leads are often one sentence, sometimes two. generally, they are 25 to 30 words and should seldom be more than 40. also, strong verbs will make your lead lively and interesting. finally, a lead is a promise to your readers. you must be able to tell what you promise in your lead. however, there are many things you should avoid. many beginning writers make the mistake of using flowery language. that is, overuse words like “great, wonderfully” in their leads. instead we should use strong verbs and nouns. avoid unnecessary words or phrases, such as 2 pm, wednesday afternoon, or very unique. you cant afford to waste space in a news story, especially in the lead. here we introduce different types of leads and offer examples of good leads. according to what you report, different kinds of leads may be chosen. formulaic（公式化的）leads. because a lot of news writing is done on deadline, it is possible to write tiring leads. resist it. readers want information, but they also want to be entertained. summary leads. this is perhaps the most traditional lead in news writing. it is often used for breaking news. a story about a city council vote might use this “just the facts” approach. straight news leads usually provide answers to the most important three or four of the five ws and an h. historically this type of lead has been used to say who, what, when and where. some newspapers post breaking news online as it happens. and they will fill the print edition with more detailed stories about why and how. leads should reflect this. anecdotal(轶事的) leads. sometimes, beginning a story with a quick anecdote can draw in readers. the anecdote must be interesting. if you use this way, the importance of the anecdote should be explained within the first few sentences following the lead. other types of leads. a large number of other ways exist, and writers should not feel boxed in by formulas. anyway beginning writers can use certain kinds of leads. these include leads that begin with a question and those that make a direct appeal. while such leads might be appropriate in some circumstances, use them carefully.50. according to the passage, a good lead should _.a. use verbs and nouns onlyb. never include less important aspectsc. answer five ws all togetherd. be as short as possib
