Science shows why we trust people who are confident.Imagine this:one person tells a lie confidently,while another says something true in a hesitant voice.Which person would you trust
According to British scientist Dean Burnett,humans are far more likely to believe information expressed confidently by a confident person or in some other ways using confident language .
" Humans trusting confident people over those who are more uncertain is a known thing ," wrote Burnett for Science Focus magazine."When two people are trying to make a decision but each person says different things,confidently expressed arguments are seen as passing on better information,which decides the decision ."
Why is this the case As Burnett said,humans are social animals.In our ancient past,most of our information about the world came from our tribe, in other words,the people around us.So,if ancient humans heard someone confidently saying " There’s a tiger coming",believing what that person said could save our lives .
On a more personal level,we use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say.That’s how our brain works.When we are confident,it’s for good reason.Therefore,we believe that when someone else is being confident,They must have good reason,too .
However,we need to realize that confidently expressed information may be more persuasive （有说服力的）,but that doesn’t mean it’s correct.As Burnett wrote,we are living in a more and more different world.Trusting very confident people without checking the facts can lead to " unexpected results ".
36.Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined word " hesitant "
A.Confident . B.Excited . C.Active . D.Uncertain .
37.How did the writer start this passage
A.By asking a question . B.By listing the facts .
C.By telling a story . D.By offering a suggestion .
38.Which of the following person will people be most likely to trust
A.The person who is from the tribe . B.The person who says something in a hesitant voice .
C.The person who tells a lie confidently . D.The person who says something true uncertainly .
39.What can be learned from this passage
A.Confidently expressed all kinds of information is totally correct .
B.We should trust every confident people without checking the facts .
C.We use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say .
D.Confidently expressed arguments are seen as passing on worse information .
40.What’s the main purpose of this passage
A.To advise people to tell lies confidently .
B.To ask people to live in the tribe around us .
C.To explain why we trust people who are confident .
D.To show why people make friends with confident people .

Winston Churchill once said ,"We make a living by what we get,but we make a life by what we give ." These are certainly words that millions of volunteers could agree with .
In the US,April is National Volunteer Month,to praise and thank volunteers who lend their time,talent,and support to what they care about .
41 People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about.For example,animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment of animals .
Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people , try out new skills and explore career choices . 42
Take Andrew Makhoul,a student at the University of Pennsylvania,as an example.Andrew didn’t spend his last spring break relaxing.Instead,the 19 year-old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself.He travelled to an orphanage in Guatemala in Central America . 43 And it depends on volunteers to stay open .
Andrew doesn’t speak much Spanish,but he found communication wasn’t a problem ,"You communicated with love," according to an article on his university's website.And what he gave out , he got back ," 44 " Andrew’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week,but by the end of that week,he knew he’d be back soon-because he saw love and hope .
US author Sherry Anderson once wrote ," 45 " And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do their work is " priceless ".
A.It is in one of the poorest parts of the country .
B.You could see love when you looked in their eyes .
C.Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid .
D.It’s a chance for poor children to get better care and support .
E.For young adults , valuable lessons may also be learned through volunteering .
