When answering a question, your silence might say more than your words. A new psychology study has found pausing before replying, even for just a few seconds, can make you seem more insincere or dishonest. That perception (感知) of dishonesty might not be too inaccurate, either. Numerous studies suggest people are slower to respond when they are not being truthful, possibly because it takes more mental work to block a truthful response or fabricate (编造) an alternative.

What’s been less clear is how well our lies have been fooling people. Some studies suggest delayed answers come across as insincere to the listener. Others find no relationship between the two, and still more have found the opposite: A bit of hesitation increases our perception of sincerity. These findings are inconsistent and confusing. They are also mostly based on correlations. Even the few studies that have actually looked at causal relationships often didn’t consider confusing factors that could also give away a liar or an insincere speaker.

The new research seeks to improve some of those limitations by examining thousands of people under a variety of conditions. Together, it involves more than 7, 500 individuals in a total of 14 experiments. On the whole, the authors found an immediate response was perceived as more sincere, while a delayed response, even a delay as brief as two seconds, was seen as more insincere. “Evaluating other people’s sincerity is an important part of social interactions.” says consumer behaviour researcher Ignazio Ziano.

“It would be unfair for the responder, such as a crime suspect, if the response delay was misattributed to (错误地归因于) thought suppression (抑制) or answer fabrication when it was in fact caused by a different factor, such as simply being distracted or thoughtful.” explains Ziano.

32. What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A．The perception of dishonesty depends on your silence.

B．Preparing a truthful response needs more mental work.

C．The impression of dishonesty isn’t always accurate.

D．Quicker replies to questions make you seem reliable.

33. According to paragraph 3, how do researchers carry out their research?

A．By studying the findings of several previous research projects.

B．By examining thousands of people in various situations.

C．By collecting data from the database from a new research.

D．By analyzing the circumstances of the responses involved.

34. Why does Ziano say it is unfair for the responder in the last paragraph ?

A．Listeners should ignore the pauses.

B．A real criminal could escape quietly.

C．The responder may be judged wrongly.

D．The response delay affects people’s preference.

35. Where is this text most likely from?

A．A diary.

B．A guidebook.

C．A brochure.

D．A magazine.

How to Grow Taller

As we all know, your height is mostly determined by your genetics. Once your growth plates (生长板) are joined together, you will stop growing taller, which usually happens between 14 and 20.     36     Of course, there are many ways you can find on the Internet to help, such as, good nutrition, a healthy lifestyle and exercise. But today, we’re just going to focus on nutrition.

Add more protein into your diet.

Protein helps your body build healthy body mass, like muscles.     37     Not only eat protein at every meal, but also include it in your snacks. For instance, you might eat yogurt at breakfast, tuna fish for lunch, chicken at dinner, and string cheese as a snack.

Eat an egg every day if you’re not allergic to them.

Kindergarten teachers have observed something typical and interesting. Young children who eat a whole egg daily may grow taller than kids who don’t. And this has been proved clinically. Eggs contain protein and vitamins that support healthy growth and they’re also quite affordable. Eat an egg for one meal every day to potentially help you get taller. But here is a tip for you.     38    

Take calcium and vitamin supplements.

    39     However, your daily meals can’t supply enough for your growth. Supplements may help you grow taller by meeting your nutritional needs. Calcium and vitamins A and D are especially important because they support strong bones. Talk to your doctor to find out if supplements are right for you. Keep in mind that vitamins won’t make you grow taller than your genetics allow.

    40    

Dairy contains protein, calcium, and vitamins to nourish your body. While milk is a great choice, yogurt and cheese are also great sources of dairy. Include 1 serving of your favorite dairy product into your daily diet.

A．Keep a balanced diet.

B．This can help you be your tallest.

C．Consume a serving of dairy each day.

D．Please ask your doctor if it’s safe for you to do so.

E．Minerals and nutrients play a key role in growing higher.

F．Luckily, taking good care of your body may still help you grow taller.

G．You might increase your height by about 1.3 to 5.1 cm by stretching out your spine daily.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Recently, some interesting videos have become popular on the Internet. They show that bees in a container immediately drop from the air when the lights       56    ( turn) off. So, why is this unusual behavior happening, and how could it possibly benefit the bees?

    57    ( frank), scientists aren’t exactly sure.    58    expert suggests that could be because bees change position in case     59    extreme weather. Once the weather has passed, they could return to the hive   (蜂房) without being blown by story conditions. This could also be linked to how bees use the sun’s position to guide     60    (they) way back to the hive. So once the sun sets, they immediately stop moving. Another theory suggests it is a prey (猎物) response: a shadow from a large predator (擅食者) above them results in bees’    61    ( fall) to the ground, where they are less likely     62    ( find) than in the air.

It should be noted that research has shown some bees . have adapted to flying at night.       63    , whether bees can see in the dark       64    ( depend) on how we define “ night ” and “ dark ”, as some animals     65    eyes are used to low lighting can see at night, while dark can mean a total absence of light.

The library was typically so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. But on this Wednesday afternoon, there was a roar of laughter that spread through the halls. It was coming from a table in the back. Books were piled so high that one could barely see the source of all the noise. Brian and Josie were hiding behind the mountain of history texts, their faces bright red from laughing.

Mrs Cane, the librarian, followed the laughter and then approached the table. As she cleared her throat and looked over the piles of books, Brian and Josie looked up to meet her gaze. Mrs Cane looked at the books, then at the kids. “And what is it you two are supposed to be working on?”

Brian hesitated a moment, and then answered, “We’re working on a paper for our history class.”

“I see,” Mrs Cane said harshly. “Perhaps one of the private reading rooms would be a better place for you to concentrate and study. Quietly.”

The kids collected their books and their backpacks and followed Mrs Cane down a long hallway until they got to a dark row of doors. Mrs Cane pulled out a ring of keys from her pocket and unlocked a door. She turned on the light, which shone brightly overhead. The kids placed their books on the dusty table and reluctantly (不情愿地) climbed into the chairs. Brian and Josie shrugged (耸肩) and opened their books, finally focusing on the project at hand.

Time was ticking away. After what seemed like hours, Brian and Josie decided to take a break and when Josie opened the door of the room, Brian’s eyes opened wide. The library was completely dark. Looking at his watch, he let out a gasp. “It’s 9:30! The library closed an hour ago!”

Paragraph 1:

Brian looked through his backpack for his cellphone.
