Chris is told that her husband Ewan was killed by >A. the Germans B. his own troops C. himself D. illness D Are women set up to fail ― by being appointed to positions of power only in hopeless situation? Two British academics say so, and they claim to have proved it this year. In one study they took 83 business people -roughly half of them women - and described to them two companies, one that was steadily improving in profitability and another that was steadily declining.The subjects were told to pick a new financial director for the firm and were presented with three candidates: a man and a woman who were exactly the same in experience and a lesser-qualified male. The subjects were slightly more likely to pick a man to lead the successful firm but were far more likely to pick the woman to lead the failing one. Two other experiments with similar designs produced the same result: When presented with men and women to lead a company that's going down the lubes, people pick the woman. What’s going on? In a write-up of their experiments in The leadership Quarterly in October, the academics, Michelle Ryan and Alex Haslam, called it "the glass cliff," which they argue is an invisible form of prejudice. In other words, people will give women a position of power only when there’s a strong chance of failure. Why? "If someone has to be the scapegoat to take the fall, you' re not going to put your best man forward ," Ryan says. Womenare thrust into desperate situations precisely because they’re likely to fail, creating" proof" that women can't handle responsibility. Ryan and Haslam say the data also suggest the glass cliff applies to minorities. When you consider this year's American presidential election, the glass-cliff theory becomes particularly truthful -- because it might neatly explain the rise of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Perhaps it was only during extremely hard times that America would finally consider a woman and a black man for the highest office. 查看更多

    We still don’t understand the influence of the mind’s power over the body, nor do we understand why there should be such power. All we can say for certain is that the mind does have power over the body in very many different ways.

         If a man is told that he is at the North Pole and he believes what he is told, he’ll show physical signs which suggest that his body is reacting as though he were at the North Pole. He’ll go pale and shiver. When the film Lawrence of Arabia was shown, cinema managers around the world reported that the sales of ice cream rocketed. The endless desert scenes had made the moviegoers feel uncomfortably hot.

         Hypnotists use the power of the mind over the body in order to use their influence. The hypnotist must only convince the patient that something is true, and the patient will act accordingly. If he convinces the patient that his arms are as heavy as lead, then the patient will be unable to lift his arms. If he convinces the patient that a piece of ice is a hot iron and he then touches the patient’s skin with the ice, a blister(水泡)will develop. The body will react to the suggestion and not to the reality, and signs of a real burn will appear.

1 From the passage, we can imagine that people watching a film about the North Pole would probably want __________.

         A. an ice cream                  B. a cold shower      C. a hot drink            D. a hot iron

2. A hypnotist is supposed to be able to control __________.

         A. patients’ bodies               B. people’s minds

         C. patients’ diseases                 D. people’s movements

3. The phrase “the reality” refers to __________.

         A. a real burn   B. a hot iron  C. the touch of ice   D. the body’s reaction

4. A good title for this passage would be __________.

         A. Mind and Body                  B. Physical Signs

         C. Research on Mind                 D. The Power of the Mind
