Anthropologists, psychologists and
others have begun seeking the roots of ambition in family, culture, gender,
genes and more. They have by no means thrown the curtain all the way back, but
they have begun to part it. If humans are an ambitious species,
it’s clear we’re not the only one. Many animals are known to signal their
ambitious tendencies almost from birth. Even before wolf pups are weaned, they
begin sorting themselves out into alphas and all the others. The alphas are
quicker, more curious, greedier for space, milk, Mom--and they stay that way for
life. Alpha wolves wander widely, breed annually and may live to a geriatric 10
or 11 years old. Lower-ranking wolves enjoy none of these benefits--staying
close to home, breeding rarely and usually dying before they’re four.
Humans often report the same kind of temperament A. have made a great delay B. have gained nothing C. have much disagreement D. have begun to make some discovery
[简答题]Cambridge psychologists and computer scientists have developed a mobile phone technology which can tell if a caller is happy, angry, bored or sad. The EmotionSence technology will enable psychologists to show links between moods, location and people. It uses speech-recognition software and phone sensors attached to standard smart phones to assess how people’s emotions are influenced by day-to-day factors.
The sensors analyze voice samples and then place them into 5 emotional categories: happiness, sadness, fear, anger and a neutral category (such as boredom or passivity). Scientists then cross-reference these emotions against surroundings, the time of day and the caller’s relationship with the person they are speaking to. Results from a pilot scheme revealed that callers are happier at home, sadder at work and display more intense emotions in the evenings.
[单项选择] Passage 5
Social psychologists arc used to
hearing that their experiments are a waste of time because they just prove the
obvious, and tell us what we always knew. But there is a very simple and
effective riposte to this accusation. The trouble with folk-wisdom (what we
always knew) is that it tends to come in pairs of statements, both of which are
obviously’ true, but which—unfortunately—are mutually exclusive. For example,
birds of a feather flock together, but what about the attraction of opposites
Experiments may not be as much fun as intuitions, but they sometimes tell us
which proverbs are actually true, or (moor often) in what circumstances which
apply. There is one other preconception to be removed before
tackling the question of whom we like and love, whom we find attractive and make
friends with: "Why bother to study an area in wh A. to defend the experiments of social psychologists B. to explain why folk-wisdom tends to come in pairs of contradictory statements C. to discuss the many facets of friendship D. to show the complexity of behavioral science
[填空题]Cognitive psychologists hold that language learning is the discovery of the underlying ______ of the language by means of inductive and deductive inference.
[单项选择]Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies. You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job. Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive ail possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body. The muscles of the body actually particip A. An Ear for Music B. Music Appreciation C. How Muscles Participate in Mental Acts D. A Psychological Definition of the Thinking Process
