15、n 31 35 are based on the following passage:People tend to be more impressed by evidence that seems to confirm some relationship. Thus many are convinced their dreams are prophetic (预言的) because a few have come true; they neglect or fail to notice the many that have not.Consider also the belief that

16、“the phone always rings when Im in the shower”. If it does ring while you in the shower, the event will stand out and be remembered. If it doesnt ring, that non-event probably wont even register (留下印象).People want to see order, pattern and meaning in the world. Consider, for example, the common beli

17、ef that things like personal misfortunes, plane crashes, and deaths “happen in threes”. Such beliefs stem from the tendency of people to allow the third event to define the time period. If three plane crashes occur in a month, then the period of time that occurs as their “happening together” is a mo

18、nth; if three crashes occur in a year, the period of time is stretched. Flexible and points reinforce such beliefs.We also tend to believe what we want to believe. A majority of people think they are more intelligent, more fair-minded and more skilled behind the wheel of an automobile than the avera

19、ge person. Part of the reason we view ourselves so favorable is that we use criteria that work to our advantage. As economist Thomas Schelling explains, “Everybody ranks himself high in qualities he values; careful drivers give weight to care, skilled drivers give weight to skill, and those who are

20、polite give weight to courtesy.” This way everyone ranks high on his own scale.Perhaps the most important mental habit we can learn is to be cautious in drawing conclusions. The “evidence” of everyday life is sometimes misleading.31. In Paragraph 1 the author states that _.A. reams cannot be said to

21、 prophetic even though a few have come trueB. dreams are prophetic because some of them did come trueC. dreams may come true if clearly rememberedD. dreams and reality are closely related32.

23、y means _.A. good manners B. appropriate speech C. friendly relations D. satisfactory service34. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Happenings that go unnoticed deserve more attention.B.

27、e male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck

28、.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight success was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive ove

29、rnight success.Why are attractive women not thought to be capable? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditional female jobs, but an attractive woman in a

30、traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities required.This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candi

31、dates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order that they would vote for them.The
