How you react when faced with written errors can be related to your personality type,according to one study. Researchers at the University of Michigan found that people who get annoyed by errors tend to be introverted(内向的) or have "less agreeable" personalities than those who more easily more that kind of mistakes. 'This is the first study to show that the personalities of listener/readers have an effect on the interpretation of language, " said lead researcher, University of Michigan professor of linguistics and psychology Julie Boland."In this experiment, we examined the social judgments that readers made about the writers." In the study, 83 participants were shown emails written by passible housemates.Some had no errors, while others had either typos ("aslo" instead of 'also") or grammar mistakes ("your" instead of "you're"). The participants were asked to rate the writers in terms of their perceived intelligence, friendliness, trustworthiness and other qualities. Then the participants were asked if they noticed any spelling or grammar mistakes and,if so, how much they were bothered by them. Finally, they were asked to complete the Big Five Personality index (BFI), a 44-question survey that rated them on a scale of extroversion(外向性),agreeability,conscientiousness (being careful to do your work properly),neuroticism(神经) and openness .All the people in the study generally rated the writers with mistakes less favorably than those with perfect letters. Beyond that, they discovered a few key personality traits that seemed to influence how much a few carelessly swapped letters or more serious grammar offenses throw a person's whole world out of order. It turns out that extroverts are more likely to ignore typos and grammatical mistakes than introverts. Also people with "less agreeable" personalities are more sensitive to mistakes than those people who are very agreeable. The researchers say this is "perhaps because less agreeable people are less tolerant of deviations(偏离) from convention."' In other words, bad-tempered people have a harder time than easy-going people dealing with people who break the rules. Both highly conscientious and less open participants were sensitive to typos, but they didn't care all that much about grammar.And,perhaps surprisingly, how neurotic someone was didnt affect how they reacted to grammar and spelling mistakes. So if you have a friend who is constantly pointing out your errors on social media, take comfort in the fact that he is likely a fool, And if it's you who obey every grammar law, then chalk it up to being an introvert .1.

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
