11、be on Tuesday features a 6-year-old child actor named Anano. When Anano was dressed in a nice dress and coat, people stopped to ask if she was lost, tried to comfort her and made phone calls on her behalf.Then makeup artists covered her face with soot and dressed her in dirty sweats and a knit cap.

12、The video shows people walking right past her without a second glance.UNICEF then repeated the experiment inside a restaurant. When Anono was clean and dressed nicely, diners welcomed her at their tables. Strangers smiled at her, patted her arm and even rubbed her cheeks.When she returned to the res

13、taurant in the dirty sweats and knit cap, people clutched their purses and bags when she passed by. One man signaled to an employee and asked, “Can you take her out please?”The video shows Anano running out of the restaurant in tears.“We stopped the experiment because Anano became too upset,” UNICEF

14、 said.“They were all telling me to go away,” UNICEF quoted the little girl as saying.“Every day, millions of children living in poverty are ignored, pushed aside and deprived(剥夺) of everything they need to grow up,” UNICEF stated on YouTube. “It doesnt need to be this way. Our 2016 State of the Worl

18、equally. BMany people believe that the only way to make our communities safer is to build more prisons. But theres a way to better protect cities and towns by doing just the opposite.In many countries throughout the world, prison populations have risen suddenly over the past decade. One of the main

19、reasons for this is the large number of repeat offenders; that is people who break the law again once freed from jail. Statistics show that about one in four prisoners freed every year return to jail within three years.This is partly because ex-prisoners face huge difficulty finding employment. More

20、 than a third of them cannot find any job at all. Data show that having a job greatly reduces the chances that a person will commit a crime again or commit one in the first place. Released prisoners who do manage to find steady employment are 50 percent less likely to return to prison. Rather than h

21、arming a community, having a job helps ex-prisoners to change their ways and make a positive and productive contribution to their communities.Whats more, helping these men and women find jobs would also save taxpayers a lot of money. Few prisoners would save governments millions or possibly even bil

22、lions of dollars annually: the costs of building and operating jails.There are many things that the government can do to help ex-prisoners find work. More job training programs should be introduced to provide prisoners with work skills before they are freed. Companies and factories should also be gi

23、ven tax benefits if they employ ex-prisoners. Such programs have been shown to work in several countries.Such policies of course assure that freed criminals actually want to work. But shouldnt they be given the chance? Our goal, after all, shouldnt be to incarcerate as many prisoners as possible, bu

24、t to build a society that doesnt need to put such a large percentage of its population in jail. We should take a step in that direction and help prisoners find self-respect and purpose through work.24. What percentage of freed prisoners returns to prison within three years?

25、5%25. Which of the following best describes the content of the fifth paragraph?A. Facts B. Arguments C. Recommendations D. Requirements26.

27、etly whispered questions about your co-workers irresistible(无法抗拒的), youre hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip?A new study suggests its because the rumors are all about us. “Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve, promote, and protect the self,” write

28、s a research team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the researchers described two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get. The first featured 178 university undergraduates, who ha

29、d all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident, in which a group member shared with them either positive or negative information about another group members secret. They t

30、hen reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip(“The information received made me think I can learn a lot from X”); others measured its self-promotion value(“The information I received made me feel that I am doing wel

31、l compared to X”). Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns(“The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group”).In the second experiment, 122 undergraduates were assigned the role of “sales agent” at a major company. They received gossip from

32、 a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused. They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to the participants in the first experiment.In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive goss
