The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness.”在研究開始前幾周，參與者完成了一項(xiàng)評(píng)估，評(píng)估內(nèi)容包括他們的自信心和情緒穩(wěn)定性等。在這項(xiàng)評(píng)估中得分較高的參與者受粗魯行為影響的可能性明顯較低。可知，不易受到影響的人較為冷靜沉著。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts(地區(qū)).
