But how can we tell if someone is trustworthy? In a pape
11、r published recently in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researcher gave us the answer.The researchers asked 401 adults from the United States to fill out a questionnaire measuring their guilt-proneness(内疚倾向) in different situations as well as several other qualities, and then play
12、a short online game. In this game, Player 1 is given $1, which they can choose to give to Player2. Any money given to Player 2 is then automatically increased to $2.50. Player 2 can then decide whether to keep all of the money or behave in a trustworthy way by returning a portion of the money to Pla
13、yer 1. The researchers found more guilt-prone people were more likely to share the money with Player1. Actually, in follow-up studies, guilt-proneness predicted trustworthiness better than other personality qualities the researchers measured.Why might guilt lead to trustworthy behavior? The research
14、ers found people who were guilt-prone also reported feeling an obligation to act in ethical(合乎道德的) and responsible ways while interacting(互动) with their partners in the game. People who are guilt-prone tend to avoid engaging in behavior that might harm or disappoint others. If they do something bad,
15、 guilt encourages them to try to make things right again.Then， how can we use this research to ascertain whether someone is trustworthy? “One way to do this might be observe how they respond to experience regret,” lead author Emma Levine, assistant professor at the University of Chicago Levine, expl
16、ains. Another way is to ask them to describe a difficult dilemma they faced in the past, suggests co-author Taya Cohen, associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University. This is particularly effective, Cohen and her colleagues have found, because it allows us to see if theyre concerned about the ef

Numerous researchers have shown that when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive attitude
20、s promote learning. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom discussion and score lower than boys on SATs.We found that at all grade levels in all communities and in all subject areas boys controlled classroom communication. They participated in more interactions than girls
21、did, and their participation became greater as the year went on.Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls control classroom communication in reading while boys in math. We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boys got more than their
22、 fair share of teacher attention. That teachers talk more to male students is simply because boys are more aggressive in grabbing their attention by calling out answers to the teachers questions first. While girls sit patiently with their hands raised or keep silent. Psychologist Lisa Serbin and K.D
23、aniel OLeary, then at the state university of New York at stony brook studied classroom interaction at preschool level and found that teachers gave boys more attention, praised them more often and were at least twice as likely to have extended conversations with them.Years of experience have shown t
24、hat the best way to learn something is to do it yourself. It is also important to give students specific and direct feedback about the quality of their work and answers. Teachers behave differently depending on whether boys or girls are active to provide answers during discussions. During classroom
25、discussion, teachers in our study reacted to boys answers with powerful, precise and effective responses, while they often gave girls mild and unclear reactions because of their silence. Too often, girls remain in the dark about the quality of their answers. Active students receiving precise feedbac
26、k are more likely to achieve academically. And they are more likely to be boys.This kind of communication game is played at work, as well as at school. As reported in numerous studies, it goes like this.Men speak more often and frequently interrupt women. Listeners recall more from male speakers tha
27、n from female speakers, even when both use a similar speaking style and cover the same content.Women participate less actively in conversation. They do more smiling and gazing, and they are more often the passive by standers in professional and social conversations among peers.Women often their own
28、statements into unsure comments. This is accomplished by using qualifiers and by adding tag question. These uncertain patterns weaken impact and signal a lack of power and influence.Only when girls are active and treated equally in the classroom will they be more likely to achieve equality in the wo

And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to
45、want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts film in Atlanta. From the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rus
46、ting (生锈的) walls.In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the citys West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (排除),
47、 pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there the walls, the rust, and the light.” Yocum said. “Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. Its like an art installation (装置) in therea slow-motion show.”Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front
