Text 2 An article in Scientific America has pointed out that empirical research says that, actually, you think you’re more beautiful than you are. We have a deep-seated need to feel good about ourselves and we naturally employ a number of self-enhancing strategies to research into what the call the “above average effect”, or “illusory superiority”, and shown that, for example, 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities. We rose tint our memories and put ourselves into self-affirming situations. We become defensive when criticized, and apply negative stereotypes to others to boost our own esteem, we stalk around thinking we’re hot stuff. Psychologist and behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley oversaw a key studying into self-enhancement and attractiveness. Rather that have people simply rate their beauty compress with others, he asked them to identify an original photogragh of themselves’ from a lineup including versions that had been altered to appear more and less attractive. Visual recognition, reads the study, is “an automatic psychological process occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation”. If the subjects quickly chose a falsely flattering image- which must did- they genuinely believed it was really how they looked. Epley found no significant gender difference in responses. Nor was there any evidence that, those who self-enhance the must (that is, the participants who thought the most positively doctored picture were real) were doing so to make up for profound insecurities. In fact those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other makers for having higher self-esteem. “I don’t think the findings that we having have are any evidence of personal delusion”, says Epley. “It’s a reflection simply of people generally thinking well of themselves’. If you are depressed, you won’t be self-enhancing. Knowing the results of Epley ‘s study,it makes sense that why people heat photographs of themselves Viscerally-on one level, they don’t even recognise the person in the picture as themselves, Facebook therefore ,is a self-enhancer’s paradise,where people can share only the most flattering photos, the cream of their wit ,style ,beauty, intellect and lifestyle it’s not that people’s profiles are dishonest,says catalina toma of Wiscon—Madison university ,”but they portray an idealized version of themselves. According to the first paragraph, social psychologist have found that ______.

A. our self-ratings are unrealistically high
B. illusory superiority is baseless effect
C. our need for leadership is unnatural
D. self-enhancing strategies are ineffective

国家统计局公布的第五次全国人口普查结果,全国总人口约为()亿人。

Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 arebased on the following passage:The first year of school in America, knownas kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among richcountries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; hiseducation secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morally wrong".This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poorfamilies enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantagethat usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered1,116.(76) Pre-school can help close this gap. So in aspeech last month, Mr. Obama called for apartnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to everyAmerican child. It later became known that "every" meant those whocome from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal toan income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20thnew results were announced from a study of 9tol1yearolds in New Jersey. Thisreport found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre.school had betterliteracy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre.kindergartenwere better than one.Some studies also follow the effects ofearly learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and otherfactors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965,which provides poor households with a range of services including school.basedearly education. Which of the following about the New Jersey studyis TRUE()

A. There is no evidence to support theNew Jersey study.
B. New Jersey has created a new HeadStart to help disadvantaged kids.
C. Sending children to school at the ageof four is not going to help.
D. Two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.
