t gossip could influence behavior, including generosity, researchers said. "As it turns out, the act of gossip can indeed be quite powerful," said Jared Piazza of Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Piazza and Jesse M. Beringa studied the 47 of 72 college students who were asked to distribute tokens(代金券)with a monetary value between themselves and someone else. Half of the group were 48 told their decision would be discussed with a third party. "Participants who were told that the receiver would be communicating their economic decision with the third party were49 more generous in their allocations of the tokens than participants who were not50 to believe that their decisions would be discussed," Piazza and Beringa said in the study published in the journal Human Behavior. They added that the most 51 strategy from an economic standpoint would have been for a student to52 all 10 tokens to him or herself, but the threat of gossip seemed to have53their decision. Although gender did not play a major role in the study, men were slightly more54 than women. "Allocations of males were, on average, slightly greater than allocations of females, although there were almost twice as many female participants," the researchers 55 A previous study showed that gossip is more powerful than truth, suggesting people believe what they hear through the grapevine even if they have evidence to the56.

第9题

Bold-faced, with a hyphen and ending in the adjectival, was coined by Shakespeare in Henry

VI, Part I, when Lord Talbot, rescuing his son on a French battlefield, spoke of his "proud desire of bold-faced Victoria. " It was picked up in the 19th century by typesetters to describe a type — like Clarendon, Antique or a thick version of Bodoni — that stood out confidently, even impudently, from the page. The adjective was used in an 1880 article in The New York Times (we were hyphenated then) : "One of the handbills" distributed by the Ku Klux Klan, noted a disapproving reporter, was "printed in bold-faced type on yellow paper".

Newspaper gossip columnists in the 30's, to catch the reader's eye, began using this bold type for the names that made news in what was then called "care society" (in contrast to "high" society, whose members claimed to prefer to stay out of those columns).

In our time, the typeface metaphor was applied to a set of famous human faces. A fashion reporter — John Duka of The Times — was an early user of the phrase, as he wrote acerbically on Sept. 22, 1981: "At the overheated parties at Calvin Klein's apartment, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman and Studio 54, the boldfaced names said the week had been so crammed that they were feeling 'a little under the breath, you know. ' "

Rita Kempley of The Washington Post noted in 1987 the sought-after status of "a boldfaced name in People magazine"; by 1999, Alan Peppard of The Dallas Morning News recalled to Texas Monthly that he began with a "social column," but "now we live in an age of celebrity, and there are very few people who care about what the debutantes are doing. So I call it celebrity, society, famous people, rich people, boldfaced names. "

The New York Times, which never had, does not have and is grimly determined never to have a "gossip column" introduced a "people column" in 2001. (When its current editor, Joyce Wadler, took a six-week break recently, she subheaded that item with a self-mocking "Air Kiss! Smooch! Ciao!") The column covers the doings of celebrities, media biggies, fashion plates, show-biz stars, haut-monde notables, perennial personages and others famous for their fame. It's confident, fashionable and modern moniker became the driving force behind the recent popularization of the phrase with the former compound adjective, now an attributive noun: Boldface Names.

The first person who used the word "bold faced" is ______.

A．Shakespeare

B．Lord Talbot

C．Clarendon, Antique

D．the editor of The New York Times

听力原文：You ask me to explain to you how I find out what is happening？ Well, news can be

听力原文： You ask me to explain to you how I find out what is happening？ Well, news can be something the authorities want you to know, or something they would rather keep secret. An announcement of a government success, a denial of a failure, or, a secret scandal that nobody really wants you to talk about. If the authorities want to tell the world some good news, they issue statements, communiques, and call press conferences. Or, politicians make speeches. Local newspapers, radio and television help to alert foreign correspondents to what is going on. And by making contacts with local officials, journalists can ask for more information or explanations to help them write their stories. Unless the correspondent is an eyewitness, it's rare to trust any single source. Officials have a policy to defend, opposition politicians want to attack it. Rumor and gossip can also confuse the situation. So, you have to check information as much as possible, using common sense and experience as final checks to help establish just what's likely to be the truth, or close to it.

What is this talk mainly about？

A．Where to find good reporters.

B．How to get news stories.

C．How authorities affect the authenticity of news reports.

D．How to become a good foreign correspondent.
