If you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple—eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.
During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.
The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory – w here people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.
In a test, participants were told to watch TV – where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.
The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.
The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.’
Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.
1.According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who______.
A. has the same taste as them
B. advertises his products on TV
C. reduces the price of his products
D. pays attention to the quality of his products
2.The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.
A. people who have similar tastes to their boss’s earn more
B. bosses like employees that have the same taste as them
C. food plays an important role in earning people’s trust
D. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.
B. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.
C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.
D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.
4.Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. All good things come to an end.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. Birds of a feather flock together.

Dear Jack,
I was sorry to hear that you are suffering from short-sightedness.
To be frank, almost eight students out ten in my class have to wear glasses to live a normal school life, include me. Many factors contribute to this phenomenon. First, us Chinese students who live under a great burden of examinations. We have to fight our way in life with millions of peers. Second, most of us with short-sightedness don’t have a good habit of using our eye, due to neither lack of knowledge of protecting eyes or carelessness.
In this case, I strong recommend that you not use your computer for such long a time any more. However, you should change your habit of reading in bed. Hopefully, your short-sightedness can be corrected by wearing proper glasses.
All in all, don’t worry. It’s no big deal!
Yours, sincerely
Li Hua

Before leaving his job in Brooklyn, Brian Peter had one thing he wanted to do on his last day-say thank you to the city he loves. Peter decided to use the money he made for a day’s work, as well as the $10 per year he earned for his service, to give back to his community.
“I've got nothing but good things from the city and the citizens,” Peter said. “I take what I make in a day and add that $120 that the police association was going to give me, and I’ll just add it up to $500 and get some gift cards for people.”
So after fourteen years’ serving as a police officer, Peter spent his last day doing that. Using his own money, Peter purchased five gift cards from Target and five gift cards from the grocery chain Cub Foods worth $ 50 each and handed them out to strangers in Brooklyn Center.
It took him about two hours to give away the cards and that he could put smiles on a lot of people’s faces, including one woman he stopped after noticing the condition of her car. “Her car was really old and really damaged. I saw her windshield wipers were stuck in the up position,” Peter recalled. “I explained what I was doing and gave her a gift card, and immediately, she lit up with a smile.”
Once people overcame the initial shock of what he was doing, Peter said he received a lot more hugs that day. Monique Drier, who stayed with Peter, said Peter has always wanted to give back and didn’t really want the attention. “He didn’t even have a going-away party,” Drier said.
Peter, who started his new job three days ago, said he still wanted to continue giving back to the community. “Community service is extremely important, and when you’re fortunate in life, you should give back to others who aren’t as fortunate as you,” Peter said. “That’s what makes the world go round.”

Scientists investigated why Ebola virus is so deadly when it spreads from animals to humans and then from human-to-human contact. The research team looked at the Zaire Ebola virus in an animal system to understand how it gains strength. This virus is responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They found that initially the animal systems were not affected by the virus, but succeeding transmission(傳送) into other animals caused the virus to “hot up” and become more severe.
The team analyzed the viruses at different stages and were able to identify several changes in its genetic material that were associated with increased disease.
Professor Julian Hiscox, who led the study from the University’s Institute of Infection and Global Health, explains: “The work tells us that the evolutionary goal of Ebola virus is to become more fatal.”
“We were able to show through genetic analysis which parts of the virus are involved in this process. The information we have gathered will now allow us to monitor for such changes in an outbreak as well as develop future treatment strategies.”
Professor Roger Hewson, leading the study from Public Health England, Porton Down, said: “Ebola virus is such a destructive infection to the people affected by the disease and the economy of West Africa.”
“Our understanding of Ebola virus biology is way behind that of other viruses and our cooperation shows how we can bring together our specialists’ skills to close this knowledge gap.”
Professor Miles Carroll, a co-author of the work, said: “This study has allowed the team to be at the forefront of developing methodologies to analyze patient samples recently taken by the European Mobile Laboratory from West Africa to understand disease evolution during the current outbreak.”
1.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A. How severe Ebola virus is.
B. How Ebola virus spreads.
C. How Ebola virus gradually becomes deadly.
D. What contributions scientists have made on Ebola virus.
2.Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?
A. In the first stage, the virus hurts its victims much.
B. As the virus spreads, it’ll change and become more and more deadly.
C. The research in Ebola virus is more advanced than that in other viruses.
D. The scientists have a negative attitude to the research in Ebola virus.
3.The underlined word “fatal” has the closest meaning to ______.
A. optimistic B. deadly
C. common D. fantastic
4.Where can we probably read this passage?
A. In a science report. B. In a storybook.
C. In an advertisement. D. In a textbook.
