47、 your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when youre doing your holiday shopping online, make sure youre holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation（感觉） of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisionsthose are the practical

48、 lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one persons perception（感知） of anothers “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even beating evidence that

49、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

50、preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlows 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

51、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 countrie

52、s.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant 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 wa

53、s 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 thin

54、k abstractly,” says Bargh.71. According to Paragraph 1, a persons emotion may be affected by _.A. the visitors to his officeB. the psychology lessons he hasC. his physical feeling of coldnessD. the things he has bought online72. The author mentions Harlows experiment to show that _.A. adults should

55、develop social skillsB. babies need warm physical contactC. caregivers should be healthy adultsD. monkeys have social relationships73. In Barghs experiment, the students were asked to _.A. evaluate someones personalityB. write down their guessesC. fill out a personal information formD. hold coffee a

56、nd cold drink alternatively74. We can infer from the passage that _.A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiencesB. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwideC. physical temperature affects how we see othersD. choose coffee or cold drink as they liked75.
