Part Reading comprehension
Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the best answer to each question based on the passage. Passage One
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
The good news we get from TV and radio makes us feel more kindly toward other people, but bad news – especially news of cruelty and violence – stirs up suspicion and a sense of competition toward others.
These are the findings of 10 years of experiments by research psychologists (心理学家) at Columbia University, who conclude that broadcasters encourage hostile (敌对的) behavior by stressing bad news.
3
\on the differences between themselves and others, or on the common problems that make them feel, 'We're all in this together,'\
\about one human being helping another … brings out feelings of trust and cooperation. But news about one person actually doing harm to another changes our estimate of other people for the worse.\
In an early experiment in 1968, Dr. Hornstein and his associates, who had been dropping wallets for two years to test the honesty of people, discovered that on June 4, 1968, not one wallet was returned.
\was the night Robert F. Kennedy was shot,\\seemed dangerous, and nobody wanted to return a lost wallet to a stranger.
\1976, America's Bicentennial celebration. \that day, we all felt safe and good. Being American was the thing. We all felt as if we all belonged together.\
Recent tests support these conclusions. In one experiment, 60 subjects were exposed to good news, bad news or music. Then they were told to play a game with a non-existent person supposedly in another room. It was a game of choice that emphasized cooperation or competition.
After hearing good news, the overwhelming majority, 91 percent, played cooperatively. But after hearing bad news, competitive responses were over three times as high – up to 28 percent, from 9 percent.
\assuming that the world is a dirtier place than we assumed before we saw that TV violence. And we'll deal with the next individual we come upon as if he is part of that grim picture of humanity. After the good news, it's the reverse.\
