4.It's hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world.It (50)B  where we choose to live,what we wear,our moods,and perhaps even our national features.A sunny day can lessen the deepest (51)B,while very bad weather can destroy homes and threaten lives.
The human race has always tried to (52)A  the weather,especially in areas of the world where there are many changes.Two popular traditional ways of predicting weather use pine cones(松果) and seaweed(海草).When the air has a high level of humidity(濕度),there is a higher chance of rain.When the humidity is low,there is more chance of (53)C  weather.Pine cones and seaweed feels dry when the humidity is low,(54)B  high humidity has the opposite effect.
Today's methods of prediction increasingly depend on (55)C.Satellites,balloons,ships,aircraft and weather centers with (56)A  equipments send data to computers.The data is then (57)B,and the weather is predicted.However,(58)D  this system can not predict weather for longer than about a week.
A recent study by an Australian scientist suggests that certain people may have a special (59)A  for predicting weather.However,it is (60)D  that these people could use their talent in another way,since the same group had a lot of success in predicting changes in another system-the stock market.
It (61)C  that a study of weather may also enable scientists to predict the sudden (62)A  of a disease.An Ebola epidemic (a kind of disease) in Uganda in the year 2000came after the same rare (63)D  conditions that had been present before a sudden spread of the disease 6years earlier.Efforts to (64)C  the spread of air-borne diseases such as foot and mouth are also strongly dependent on favorable wind conditions.

16.Next time a customer comes to your office,offer him a cup of coffee.And when you're doing your holiday shopping online,make sure you're holding a large glass of iced tea.The physical sensation(感覺) of warmth encourages emotional warmth,while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions-those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A.Bargh.
      Psychologists have known that one person's perception(感知) of another's"warmth"is a powerful determiner in social relationships.Judging someone to be either"warm"or"cold"is a primary consideration,even trumping evidence that a"cold"person may be more capable.Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences,Bargh argues,when babies'conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations,particularly warmth and coldness.Classic studies by Harry Harlow,published in 1958,showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth"mother"rather than one made of wire,even when the wire"mother"carried a food bottle.Harlow's work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.
      Feelings of"warmth"and"coldness"in social judgments appear to be universal.Although no worldwide study has been done,Bargh says that describing people as"warm"or"cold"is common to many cultures,and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.
      To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth,Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41college students.A research assistant who was unaware of the study's hypotheses(假設(shè)),handed the students either a hot cup of coffee,or a cold drink,to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form:The drink was then handed back.After that,the students were asked to rate the personality of"Person A"based on a particular description.Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.
"We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,"says Bargh.

51.According to Paragraph 1,a person's emotion may be affected byC.
A.the visitors to his office
B.the psychology lessons he has
C.his physical feeling of coldness
D.the things he has bought online
52.The author mentions Harlow's experiment to show thatB.
A.a(chǎn)dults should develop social skills
B.babies need warm physical contact
C.caregivers should be healthy adults
D.monkeys have social relationships
53.In Bargh's experiment,the students were asked toA.
A.evaluate someone's personality
B.write down their hypotheses
C.fill out a personal information form
D.hold coffee and cold drink alternatively
54.We can infer from the passage thatC.
A.a(chǎn)bstract thinking does not come from physical experiences
B.feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide
C.physical temperature affects how we see others
D.capable persons are often cold to others
55.What would be the best title for the passage?D
A.Drinking for Better Social Relationships.
B.Experiments of Personality Evaluation.
C.Developing Better Drinking Habits.
D.Physical Sensations and Emotions.
