Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation (感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions – those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.
Psychologists have known that one person’s perception (感知) of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.
Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study have been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perception influence judgment in dozens of countries.
To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses (假设), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.
“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.
64. According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ____.
  A. the visitors to his office B. the psychology lessons he has
  C. his physical feeling of coldness D. the things he has bought online
65. The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ____.
  A. adults should develop social skills B. babies need warm physical contact
  C. caregivers should be healthy adults D. monkeys have social relationships
66. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to ____.
  A. evaluate someone’s personality B. write down their hypotheses
  C. fill out a personal information form D. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively
67. We can infer from the passage that ____.
  A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences
  B. feeling of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide
  C. physical temperature affects how we see others D. capable persons are often cold to others
68. What would be the best title of the passage?
  A. Drinking for Better Social Relationships B. Experiments of Personality Evaluation
  C. Developing Better Drinking Habits D. Physical Sensations and Emotions

Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault (断层), which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?
　　Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, and all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings in the area were almost destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, releasing some strong smell of chemicals.
The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools (急流和漩涡). Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but the severity of the earthquakes were shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, D.C.
