It may even lead you to be rude to someone else, creating a chain of rudeness. In fact, this troubling chain may even be caused by simply seeing someone be rude to another person. You don39。t even have to be the target of the had behavior, stated a researcher. The researchers worked with 81 persons, with occupations ranging from security to business to medicine, who were asked to plete online surveys over a 10day period. Participants recorded their moods when they woke up。 and in the evening, they described their experiences over the course of that day. Each morning the participants also viewed a short video, describing workplace interaction of some kind. Half of the mornings, the video included some kind of rudeness while the other half had some kind of warm interaction in the workplace. Rudeness was conveyed through various means, including a lack of eye contact or unpleasant language. Participants who watched the rudeness videos reported seeing or experiencing rudeness during the day, and they were also more likely to escape from fellow employees to avoid being the victims of rudeness themselves. They reported their overall work suffered that day as a result. Not all participants were affected by the rudeness videos, however. A few weeks before the study began, the participants pleted an evaluation that measured their selfconfidence and emotional stability among other things. The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness. Consequently, one of the researchers remended that panies hire managers who can limit exposure to rudeness, provide plenty of positive reinforcement (強(qiáng)化) and build a civil workplace environment. This, in turn, could help employees build their confidence levels and help them better handle workplace rudeness.(1)What is Paragraph 1 intended to show?

They reported their overall work suffered that day as a result.”觀看了無禮視頻的參與者報(bào)告稱,他們在白天看到或經(jīng)歷了無禮行為,而且他們也更有可能逃離同事,以免自己成為無禮行為的受害者。他們報(bào)告說,他們的整體工作因此受到影響??芍恍﹨⑴c者在觀看視頻之后會逃避與人交流以免成為受影響者。故選D。 (4)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“A few weeks before the study began, the participants pleted an evaluation that measured their selfconfidence and emotional stability among other things. 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)評估,評估內(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??芍?,不易受到影響的人較為冷靜沉著。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】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 The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full swing. The season brings along with it strong winds and snow — an environment that39。s never fortable to be in. This unpleasant and even frightening aspect of winter can often be seen in literature. In Shakespeare39。s King Lear (1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been rejected by his two ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold,suffering things that are usually reserved for the poorest and most unfortunate human beings. The winter is bad enough for Lear,but being abandoned by his
