"Today, technical innovations dominate our everyday life in many areas. New technologies, however, always are associated with risks -- and these are also seen by laymen," says Christoph B?hmert, first author of the recently published study and researcher of the Science Communication Group of KIT's Institute for German Studies. "It is crucial to enable adequate communication between science and society, which does not only consider scientific findings, but also concerns of the population." The study clearly showed that communication of risks may be complicated sometimes. Information on efficient precautions was found to lead to an increased risk perception by the recipients of the information.
In their study, the researchers analyzed communication about a technology that has become indispensable in our life -- mobile communications and the electromagnetic fields (电磁场)on which it is based. All over the world, radiation protection authorities, such as the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection, communicate the current state of research into risks of electromagnetic fields as follows: Investigations made and all findings obtained so far do not allow any conclusions to be drawn with respect to mobile communications being a risk for human health. But, the experts continue, there still are knowledge gaps as regards long-term impacts. Then, measures are recommended to reduce exposure of the individual to electromagnetic fields.
It had been known from previous studies already that information on precautions may increase worries. It had been suspected that people conclude from the recommendation of precautions that there really is a risk. This effect was not confirmed by the recent study. The scientists rather attributed the increased worries to a lack of knowledge about the propagation(传播) of electromagnetic fields.
Within the framework of the study, the recommended precautions were submitted to 1717 Australians, together with one of six information brochures providing scientific background
information. When test persons were given not only the recommendations, but also explained why observation of these tips strongly reduces their exposure to electromagnetic fields, worries
increased. For example, scientists explained to the test persons that telephone conversations with a headset largely reduce exposure. When a mobile phone is located ten centimeters instead of just one centimeter away from the ear, the electric power absorbed by the ear is about one hundredth of the initial value. Hence, the own mobile phone usually causes an exposure that by far exceeds that of mobile communications stations that are generally referred to as "cellphone towers." While the scientists wanted to explain the effectiveness of precautions, test persons mainly considered this information to be an indication of their mobile phone -- not the transmission towers -- being dangerous. As a result, they perceived increased risk potentials for telephone conversations with their mobile phones.
"The study reveals that messages on precautions and information are a double-edged sword in terms of subjective risk perception. Their use should be far better understood," Boehmert says.
63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?
A. Adequate information on efficient precautions can relieve the concerns of the public
B. Mobile communications definitely do harm to people‘s health in the long run.
C. Information about technologies and their risks may have undesired side effects.
D. Observation of the precautions can help reduce the concerns of the public
66. According to the passage ,we can conclude that the best way to relieve the inappriate worries is to __________.
A. enable the users to know better of science and technology .
B. produce new electric products with a lower radiation value
C. provide the public with less information on effective precaution
D. inform the public about the potential risks with more patience
65. The word ― precaution‖ ( first appears in paragraph 1) in bold letters has the closets meaning to _______-
A. introduction B. intention C. recommendation D. prevetion
66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?
A. Science and Technology : A Double –edged Sword
B. Technical Innovation : Worries and Information
C. Science and Technology: Security Tips for Users
D. Technical Innovations : Effectiveness of Precautions .
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
To Please Your Friends, Tell Them What They Already Knew
The research emeraged out of some real-life observations shared by Gilbert and co-authors Gus Cooney and Timothy D. Wilson :―Conversation is the most common of all human social activities, and doing it well requires that we know what our conversation partners most want to hear.___67___‖says psychological scientist Daniel T, Gilbert of Harvard University.
―When our friends try to tell us about movies we‘ve never seen or albums we‘ve never heard, we usually find ourselves bored, confused, and underwhelmed. ___68___. And yet, as soon as it‘s our turn to speak, we do exactlly the same thing to our friends – with exactly the same consequences. We wanted to understand why this happens.‖Gilbert explains. The researchers decided to do this by conducting a series of experiments.
In their first experiment, the researchers assigned participants to groups of three, with one person acting as the speaker and the other two acting as listeners. Speakers watched a video and then tried do describe it to the listeners. Some of the listeners had seen the video the speakere was describing, and others had not.
___69___. When the speakers were done speaking, the listeners rated them on these aspects. The results showed that speakers‘ predictions were exactly backwards. Speakers expected listeners to respond more positively to their stories when the listeners had not seen the video they were describing ___70___. Although speakers expected listeners to enjoy hearing about a novel experience more than a familiar one, it was actually the other way around.
A second study showed that when asked to predict their own reactions before hearing the story, listeners made the same mistake that speakers did.
Ⅳ. Summary Writing
Directions :Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Moving My Curfew
For some time now , I have had an 8:00 p.m. curfew ---the time by which I have to be at home , even on weekends. When I was younger , I didn‘t really complain . But now I have reached an age when this curfew is no longer suitable . For several reasons , it is clearly time to move my curfew to 10:00 p.m. on weekends.
First of all , I ‘m soon going to be an adult , like all teenagers , I need practice handling the greater freedom that goes along with being an adult . When teenagers don‘t get practice handling freedom , they often make many serious mistakes. For example , some teenagers go away to college and suddenly they don‘t know how to handle it , and they get into trouble . I believe it is better to increase freedom gradually . That may the teenager learners how to handle freedom responsibly . I believe I could handle a later curfew without making serious mistakes in judgment.
A later curfew is also important to me because I‘m an active student . As you know , I am often on the committee in charge of running extra-curricular activities .Because of my present curfew , I have to finish school activities over an hour before they are over. Others students must take over for me when I leave . A 10:00 curfew would allow me to stay until the end of school functions and give me enough time to get home without rushing .
Finally , I am a teenager who can be trusted to handle a 10:00 p.m curfew . I know that many teenagers cannot handle much responsibility . However , I am clearly not that kind of teenager. I have proven myself to be a very responsible person . For example , I have never been in serious trouble , either at school or in the company . I also hold a part-time job and still manage to maintain a ―B‖ average in school . In other words , I am a person who uses my time wisely , meets responsibilities an stays out of trouble .

范文二:2017届嘉定区高三二模作文
2017届嘉定区高三二模作文
作文题目
有人说,中国人之间几乎没有辩论,只有争吵。这是因为“中国式辩论”忽略了辩论的两个最基本要素:事实和逻辑,而专注于姿态与声势。“中国式辩论”中的常见问题如:偏离论点、情绪激动、攻击对方人品、滥用比喻、使用嘲笑和反问句等等。
对此,你有怎样的思考?请自拟题目,写一篇不少于800字的文章。
“棍子”和“喷子”,中国辩论的悲哀
中国,这个拥有着千年历史的文明古国,在继承千年文明的同时也创造出了许多“中国式辩论”。“中国式辩论”便是其中一种"中国式"弊病。
电影《十二公民》中的场景让人很难忘却,一群政法大学的学生家长就一个杀人案作为陪审团进行讨论。讨论很快就变成了争吵,似乎谁声大谁有理,谁会攻击人谁有理,这就是“中国式辩论”。“中国式辩论”还有其辩论"技巧":偏离论点、偷换概念、滥用比喻、设问、反问等。
“中国式辩论”不知是从何年何月开始出现。我所知道的古人辩论应该是像"未闻孔雀是夫子家禽""衣食所安弗敢专业","吾与城北徐公孰美"这类,而非粗俗的"中国式辩论"。不去推究“中国式辩论”究竟是何时出现的,但我知道"中国式辩论"在中国**几十年很常见。
巴金先生曾公开演讲说中国有些"棍子",专门制造一些"框框",如果你不进到他的"框框"里,他们就用"棍子"对你进行攻击。"棍子"们声势浩大,只要你一发声,他们就出现。"棍子"就是典型的"中国式辩论"者,正是这些"棍子",比如最大的"棍子"姚文元,导致了**这场中国的灾难,"棍子"导致了**,**又滋养了"棍子"。
现如今"棍子"换了一个名字叫"喷子",在互联网上不管青红皂白,只要有人发表自己的观点就一阵"乱喷"。可见“中国式辩论”者在不同时代有其不同的表现形式。
“中国式辩论”是近几年才存在的现象吗?不是,我们所见的古籍都是历史沉淀过的,只有优秀的作品才能流传至今,所以我们才会认为似乎近现代这种现象很常见,而"中国式辩论",其实就是我国的"民族劣根性"的体现之一。这种劣根性是很难以彻底根除的。
但不管怎样,真理总是越辩越明的。首先,面对“中国式辩论”我们要懂得"有理不在声高",要以文明,尊重的态度,以宽容的心态面对。其次,要敢于表达真理,不畏惧“中国式辩论”者的声势浩大。如果每个人都能做到文明,那么“中国式辩论”也便消失。
“中国式辩论”也有一定社会原因,前文所说"**"中这类人多于**后,就是因为"**时"有滋生"中国式辩论"的社会土壤。在"富强、民主、文明、和谐"的现代社会,我想"中国式辩论"定会营养不良,未来"中国式辩论"将不再是一个骂名。
良辩可寻
吵!不知何时起,人们一有分歧就要打骂仗,平日里也满嘴问候对方亲人的话,辩者似已远去,虚张声势者横行。
面对一点有损自己利益的小事,人们言语之恶毒可谓超乎想象,如果说为自己争利还有理可言,那么如今在网络上肆意谩骂、随处攻击的现象令人摸不着头脑,恶意狡辩,究竟为何?
或许是人内心的压抑,致使我们须得泄愤,以征服的姿态突破条框,野蛮地战胜他人。或许是争鸣的环境糟糕,去真存伪,以劣趋良,真理随之湮灭。或许还有历史原因,向来重情不重法,重义不重理的社会使得人们对法理概念模糊。
那我们还可寻良辩吗?
不可!无赖者总将有理者赶下台,在人群中激情演说。为了维护自身利益,我们只得随波逐流,背弃真理,投入那输理不输阵的浪潮中。不可,在娱乐至上的年头,将专业知识搬出来要惹人嘲讽,对事实的探求在跌至冰点,投机取巧在肆虐,站在塔尖终要摔落。
可!可以!但闻一声肯定从远方传来,嘲弄的人们惊异回头。
重事实。教育是改变人们思想的根本,而优秀的培养不仅使我国辩手林立,更使许多环境下激烈而有质量的争辩在不断增加。包括媒体,《奇葩说》这档节目使我们窥见网络推广真理的可能,官方辟谣在给予人们信心,辩论的发展更令人欣喜。
肯认输。归根结底,雄辩是为了赢。除了环境给我们带来的影响,我们更应从自身出发,对事不对人,承认自己的谬误。承认错误的人是勇者,在这种内力的推动下,人与人之间的交流将会更和缓,更容易达到事实的真相。强行激化矛盾一定是出自双方互不相让,才让我们忍耐的界限越来越低,陷入“中国式辩论”的怪圈。
事实终将胜于雄辩,只是这其中道路曲折,出现错误是寻求真理的一环,对于中国人思辨的明天,我们还应多点信心,以践行理论的方式去证明良辩可寻。
犹忆起,百家争鸣,一席话绕梁三日,此景可重来……

Swedish Archaeologists Make New Discoveries
Archaeologists have begun exploring an unknown ancient city at a village called Vlochos , five hours north of Athens . The Archaeological ____31______are scattered on and around the Strongiloveni hill on the great Thessaliam plains and can be traced to several historical periods. ―What used to be considered remains of some _____32____settlement can now be upgraded to remains of a city higher significance than _____33______thought,‖ says Robin Ronnland , PhD student in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at the university of Gotheoburg and leader of the firework.
―We came across the site which has never been explored before in connection with another project last year and retailed the great __34_____right away .‖
Working together with the Swedish Institute at Athens and the local archaeological service in Karditsa , the Vlochos Archacological Project (VLAP) was started with an aim to explore the remains . The proje ct‘s research team completed the first field season during two weeks in September 2016.
Ronnlund says that the hill is hiding many ____35_____. Remains of towers , walls and city gates can be found on the mountaintop and slopes , but __36_____anything is visible on the ground below . The ambition is to avoid digging and instead use ____37____such as ground — penetrating radar. This will enable the team to leave the site in the same ____38____as it was in when they arrived. The success of this method is _____39____from the results of the first field season.
― We found a town square and a street network that indicate that we are dealing with quite a large city . The area inside the city wall measured over 40 hectares . We also found ancient pottery and coins that can help to ___40____the city . Our oldest finds are from around 500 BC, but the city seems to have flourished mainly from the fourth to the third century BC before it was abandoned for some reason , maybe in connection with the Roman conquest of the area. Ronnlund believes that the Swedish-Greek project can provide important clues as to what happened during this violent period in Greek history.

In their study, the researchers analyzed communication about a technology that has become indispensable in our life -- mobile communications and the electromagnetic fields (电磁场) on which it is based. All over the world, radiation protection authorities, such as the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection, communicate the current state of research into risks of electromagnetic fields as follows: Investigations made and all findings obtained so far do not allow any conclusions to be drawn with respect to mobile communications being a risk for human health. But, the experts continue, there still are knowledge gaps as regards long-term impacts. Then, measures are recommended to reduce exposure of the individual to electromagnetic fields. It had been known from previous studies already that information on precautions may increase worries. It had been suspected that people conclude from the recommendation of precautions that there really is a risk. This effect was not confirmed by the recent study. The scientists rather attributed the increased worries to a lack of knowledge about the propagation(传 播 ) of electromagnetic fields.
Within the framework of the study, the recommended precautions were submitted to 1717 Australians, together with one of six information brochures providing scientific background information. When test persons were given not only the recommendations, but also explained why observation of these tips strongly reduces their exposure to electromagnetic fields, worries increased. For example, scientists explained to the test persons that telephone conversations with a headset largely reduce exposure. When a mobile phone is located ten centimeters instead of just one centimeter away from the ear, the electric power absorbed by the ear is about one hundredth of the initial value. Hence, the own mobile phone usually causes an exposure that by far exceeds that of mobile communications stations that are generally referred to as
63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?
A. Adequate information on efficient precautions can relieve the concerns of the public
B. Mobile communications definitely do harm to people‘s health in the long run.
C. Information about technologies and their risks may have undesired side effects.
D. Observation of the precautions can help reduce the concerns of the public
66. According to the passage ,we can conclude that the best way to relieve the inappriate worries is to __________.
A. enable the users to know better of science and technology .
B. produce new electric products with a lower radiation value
C. provide the public with less information on effective precaution
D. inform the public about the potential risks with more patience
65. The word ― precaution‖ ( first appears in paragraph 1) in bold letters has the closets meaning to _______-
A. introduction B. intention C. recommendation D. prevetion
66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?
A. Science and Technology : A Double – edged Sword
B. Technical Innovation : Worries and Information
C. Science and Technology: Security Tips for Users
D. Technical Innovations : Effectiveness of Precautions .

To Please Your Friends, Tell Them What They Already Knew
The research emeraged out of some real-life observations shared by Gilbert and co-authors Gus Cooney and Timothy D. Wilson :―Conversation is the most common of all human social activities, and doing it well requires that we know what our conversation partners most want to hear.___67___‖says psychological scientist Daniel T, Gilbert of Harvard University.
―When our friends try to tell us about movies we‘ve never seen or albums we‘ve never heard, we usually find ourselves bored, confused, and underwhelmed. ___68___. And yet, as soon as it‘s our turn to speak, we do exactlly the same thing to our friends – with exactly the same consequences. We wanted to understand why this happens.‖Gilbert explains. The researchers decided to do this by conducting a series of experiments.
In their first experiment, the researchers assigned participants to groups of three, with one person acting as the speaker and the other two acting as listeners. Speakers watched a video and then tried do describe it to the listeners. Some of the listeners had seen the video the speakere was describing, and others had not.
___69___. When the speakers were done speaking, the listeners rated them on these aspects. The results showed that speakers‘ predictions were exactly backwards. Speakers expected listeners to respond more positively to their stories when the listeners had not seen the video they were describing ___70___. Although speakers expected listeners to enjoy hearing about a novel experience more than a familiar one, it was actually the other way around.
A second study showed that when asked to predict their own reactions before hearing the story, listeners made the same mistake that speakers did.
Ⅳ . Summary Writing
Directions :Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Moving My Curfew
For some time now , I have had an 8:00 p.m. curfew ---the time by which I have to be at home , even on weekends. When I was younger , I didn‘t really complain . But now I have reached an age when this curfew is no longer suitable . For several reasons , it is clearly time to move my curfew to 10:00 p.m. on weekends.
First of all , I ‘m soon going to be an adult , like all teenagers , I need practice handling the greater freedom that goes along with being an adu lt . When teenagers don‘t get practice handling freedom , they often make many serious mistakes. For example , some teenagers go away to college and suddenly they don‘t know how to handle it , and they get into trouble . I believe it is better to increase freedom gradually . That may the teenager learners how to handle freedom responsibly . I believe I could handle a later curfew without making serious mistakes in judgment.
A later curfew is also important to me because I‘m an active student . As you know , I am often on the committee in charge of running extra-curricular activities .Because of my present curfew , I have to finish school activities over an hour before they are over. Others students must take over for me when I leave . A 10:00 curfew would allow me to stay until the end of school functions and give me enough time to get home without rushing .
Finally , I am a teenager who can be trusted to handle a 10:00 p.m curfew . I know that many teenagers cannot handle much responsibility . However , I am clearly not that kind of teenager. I have proven myself to be a very responsible person . For example , I have never been in serious trouble , either at school or in the company . I also hold a part-time job and still manage to maintain a ―B‖ average in school . In other words , I am a person who uses my time wisely , meets responsibilities an stays out of trouble .

"Today, technical innovations dominate our everyday life in many areas. New technologies, however, always are associated with risks -- and these are also seen by laymen," says Christoph B?hmert, first author of the recently published study and researcher of the Science Communication Group of KIT's Institute for German Studies. "It is crucial to enable adequate communication between science and society, which does not only consider scientific findings, but also concerns of the population." The study clearly showed that communication of risks may be complicated sometimes. Information on efficient precautions was found to lead to an increased risk perception by the recipients of the information.
5
In their study, the researchers analyzed communication about a technology that has become indispensable in our life -- mobile communications and the electromagnetic fields ;级磁级,on
which it is based. All over the world, radiation protection authorities, such as the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection, communicate the current state of research into risks of electromagnetic fields as follows: Investigations made and all findings obtained so far do not allow any conclusions to be drawn with respect to mobile communications being a risk for human health. But, the experts continue, there still are knowledge gaps as regards long-term impacts. Then, measures are recommended to reduce exposure of the individual to electromagnetic fields.
It had been known from previous studies already that information on precautions may increase worries. It had been suspected that people conclude from the recommendation of precautions that there really is a risk. This effect was not confirmed by the recent study. The scientists rather attributed the increased worries to a lack of knowledge about the propagation(级
播) of electromagnetic fields.
W
ithin the framework of the study, the recommended precautions were submitted to 1717 Australians, together with one of six information brochures providing scientific background information. When test persons were given not only the recommendations, but also explained why observation of these tips strongly reduces their exposure to electromagnetic fields, worries increased. For example, scientists explained to the test persons that telephone conversations with a headset largely reduce exposure. When a mobile phone is located ten centimeters instead of just one centimeter away from the ear, the electric power absorbed by the ear is about one hundredth of the initial value. Hence, the own mobile phone usually causes an exposure that by far exceeds that of mobile communications stations that are generally referred to as "cellphone towers." While the scientists wanted to explain the effectiveness of precautions, test persons mainly considered this information to be an indication of their mobile phone -- not the transmission towers -- being dangerous. As a result, they perceived increased risk potentials for telephone conversations with their mobile phones.
"
The study reveals that messages on precautions and information are a double-edged sword in terms of subjective risk perception. Their use should be far better understood," Boehmert says.

3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?
A
. Adequate information on efficient precautions can relieve the concerns of the public
B
. Mobile communications definitely do harm to people’s health in the long run.
C
. Information about technologies and their risks may have undesired side effects.
D
. Observation of the precautions can help reduce the concerns of the public

A
. enable the users to know better of science and technology .
B
. produce new electric products with a lower radiation value
C
. provide the public with less information on effective precaution
D
. inform the public about the potential risks with more patience

Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
To Please Your Friends, Tell Them What They Already Knew
The research emeraged out of some real-life observations shared by Gilbert and co-authors Gus Cooney and Timothy D. Wilson,“Conversation is the most common of all human social
activities, and doing it well requires that we know what our conversation partners most want to hear.___67___”says psychological scientist Daniel T, Gilbert of Harvard University.
“When our friends try to tell us about movies we’ve never seen or albums we’ve never heard, we usually find ourselves bored, confused, and underwhelmed. ___68___. And yet, as soon as it’s our turn to speak, we do exactlly the same thing to our friends – with exactly the same consequences. We wanted to understand why this happens.”Gilbert explains. The researchers decided to do this by conducting a series of experiments.
In their first experiment, the researchers assigned participants to groups of three, with one person acting as the speaker and the other two acting as listeners. Speakers watched a video and then tried do describe it to the listeners. Some of the listeners had seen the video the speakere was describing, and others had not.
___69___. When the speakers were done speaking, the listeners rated them on these aspects. The results showed that speakers’ predictions were exactly backwards. Speakers expected listeners to respond more positively to their stories when the listeners had not seen the video they were describing ___70___. Although speakers expected listeners to enjoy hearing about a novel experience more than a familiar one, it was actually the other way around.
A second study showed that when asked to predict their own reactions before hearing the story, listeners made the same mistake that speakers did.

M
oving My Curfew
For some time now , I have had an 8:00 p.m. curfew ---the time by which I have to be at home , even on weekends. When I was younger , I didn’t really complain . But now I have reached an age when this curfew is no longer suitable . For several reasons , it is clearly time to move my curfew to 10:00 p.m. on weekends.
First of all , I ’m soon going to be an adult , like all teenagers , I need practice handling the greater freedom that goes along with being an adult . When teenagers don’t get practice handling freedom , they often make many serious mistakes. For example , some teenagers go away to college and suddenly they don’t know how to handle it , and they get into trouble . I believe it is better to increase freedom gradually . That may the teenager learners how to handle freedom responsibly . I believe I could handle a later curfew without making serious mistakes in judgment.
A later curfew is also important to me because I’m an active student . As you know , I am often on the committee in charge of running extra-curricular activities .Because of my present curfew , I have to finish school activities over an hour before they are over. Others students must take over for me when I leave . A 10:00 curfew would allow me to stay until the end of school functions and give me enough time to get home without rushing .
Finally , I am a teenager who can be trusted to handle a 10:00 p.m curfew . I know that many teenagers cannot handle much responsibility . However , I am clearly not that kind of teenager. I have proven myself to be a very responsible person . For example , I have never been in serious trouble , either at school or in the company . I also hold a part-time job and still manage to maintain a “B” average in school . In other words , I am a person who uses my time wisely , meets responsibilities an stays out of trouble .

Swedish Archaeologists Make New Discoveries

While the scientists wanted to explain the effectiveness of precautions, test persons mainly considered this information to be an indication of their mobile phone -- not the transmission towers -- being dangerous. As a result, they perceived increased risk potentials for telephone conversations with their mobile phones.
"The study reveals that messages on precautions and information are a double-edged sword in terms of subjective risk perception. Their use should be far better understood," Boehmert says.

B. Mobile communications definitely do harm to people‘s health in the long run.
C. Information about technologies and their risks may have undesired side effects.
D. Observation of the precautions can help reduce the concerns of the public
66. According to the passage ,we can conclude that the best way to relieve the inappriate worries is to __________.
A. enable the users to know better of science and technology .
B. produce new electric products with a lower radiation value
C. provide the public with less information on effective precaution
D. inform the public about the potential risks with more patience
65. The word ― precaution‖ ( first appears in paragraph 1) in bold letters has the closets
meaning to _______-
A. introduction B. intention C. recommendation D. prevetion
66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?
A. Science and Technology : A Double –edged Sword
B. Technical Innovation : Worries and Information

To Please Your Friends, Tell Them What They Already Knew
The research emeraged out of some real-life observations shared by Gilbert and co-authors Gus Cooney and Timothy D. Wilson:―Conversation is the most common of all human social
activities, and doing it well requires that we know what our conversation partners most want to hear.___67___‖says psychological scientist Daniel T, Gilbert of Harvard University.
―When our friends try to tell us about movies we‘ve never seen or albums we‘ve never heard, we usually find ourselves bored, confused, and underwhelmed. ___68___. And yet, as soon as it‘s our turn to speak, we do exactlly the same thing to our friends – with exactly the same
consequences. We wanted to understand why this happens.‖Gilbert explains. The researchers decided to do this by conducting a series of experiments.
In their first experiment, the researchers assigned participants to groups of three, with one person acting as the speaker and the other two acting as listeners. Speakers watched a video and then tried do describe it to the listeners. Some of the listeners had seen the video the speakere was describing, and others had not.
___69___. When the speakers were done speaking, the listeners rated them on these aspects. The results showed that speakers‘ predictions were exactly backwards. Speakers expected listeners to respond more positively to their stories when the listeners had not seen the video they were describing ___70___. Although speakers expected listeners to enjoy hearing about a novel experience more than a familiar one, it was actually the other way around.
A second study showed that when asked to predict their own reactions before hearing the story, listeners made the same mistake that speakers did.

Moving My Curfew
8
For some time now , I have had an 8:00 p.m. curfew ---the time by which I have to be at home , even on weekends. When I was younger , I didn‘t really complain . But now I have reached an age when this curfew is no longer suitable . For several reasons , it is clearly time to move my curfew to 10:00 p.m. on weekends.
First of all , I ‘m soon going to be an adult , like all teenagers , I need practice handling the greater freedom that goes along with being an adult . When teenagers don‘t get practice
handling freedom , they often make many serious mistakes. For example , some teenagers go away to college and suddenly they don‘t know how to handle it , and they get into trouble . I believe it is better to increase freedom gradually . That may the teenager learners how to handle freedom responsibly . I believe I could handle a later curfew without making serious mistakes in judgment.
A later curfew is also important to me because I‘m an active student . As you know , I am
often on the committee in charge of running extra-curricular activities .Because of my present curfew , I have to finish school activities over an hour before they are over. Others students must take over for me when I leave . A 10:00 curfew would allow me to stay until the end of school functions and give me enough time to get home without rushing .
Finally , I am a teenager who can be trusted to handle a 10:00 p.m curfew . I know that many teenagers cannot handle much responsibility . However , I am clearly not that kind of teenager. I have proven myself to be a very responsible person . For example , I have never been in serious trouble , either at school or in the company . I also hold a part-time job and still manage to maintain a ―B‖ average in school . In other words , I am a person who uses my time wisely , meets responsibilities an stays out of trouble .
