_____________is
not
surprising
that
a
genuine
pole
will
cost
more
than
$$1500
per

because traditionally carved totem
involve a great deal of work ,
craftsmanship and time to
produce.
The raising of a

Emotional Debt
Many people today live
under the weight of debt from loans or
credit
cards
.
As
harmful
as
___31_______
debt
is
,
there
is
another
form
of debt that is even more damaging ------emotional
debt.
Dr . James Richards
states that emotional debt occurs ‘when we
experience emotional pain that remain
______32___.” If the pain
is not dealt
with , it will affect us our entire lives.
Throughout
the years , we have chances
for happiness , love and success . But
unresolved pain can emerge , causing us
to respond in ways that
aren’t
reasonable , resulting in destroyed relationships
and lost
opportunities .
Another ___33____result of emotional debt is that
our friends and loved ones are affected
by it and pay a high price.
When we
have a tendency to respond _____34____, we often
hurt those
around us . Unfortunately
our unsettled problems sometimes become
too
much
for
them
to
_____35____
causing
them
to
abandon
the
relationship
.
People with destructive
patterns should check their lives for
signs of unresolved pain , for your
emotional debt can come from
various
forms
of
past
unfair
,
cruel
or
violent
treatment
or
____36_____.
You
may
be
holding
onto
painful
memories
of
controlling
parents or very
_____37_____teachers , also you may not have dealt
with the pain of a broken relationship
or the death of a loved one.
Any
negative
emotion
that
you
have
controlled
over
the
year
can
come
back to cause harm when
you least expect it.
Recognize
your
feelings
,
but
don’t
focus
on
them
all
the
time
,
because
___38______and challenging your pain is difficult
, but
recognizing it is the first step
toward dealing with it . Admit you
are
angry about the past , and discuss it with someone
you trust ,
or
write
it
down
because
this
will
ease
some
of
the
danger
and
hatred
you’ve kept _____39____ up for years .
Refuse to be a victim and
accept
responsibility
for
dealing
with
your
painful
past
because
this
puts
you
in
charge
and
limits
the
power
your
emotions
have
over
you
.
Take
specific
steps
to
resolve
your
emotional
debt
now
rather
than
deal with the ___40_____later
.
III. Reading
Comprehension
Section
A
Directions:
For
each blank in the following passage there are four
words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.
Fill in each blank with the
word or
phrase that best fits the context.
Ask
Siri
if
she’s
a
woman.
Go
ahead;
try
it.
She’ll
tell
you
she’s
______41_____
. “Like cacti.
And certain species of fish,”
she
might
say.
So
is
Amazon’s
Alexa,
Microsoft’s
Cortana,
Samsung’s S Voice,
and Google Now. But, man, do they ever sound a
lot like women. ____42_______, we think
of them as ladies too. (In
Old Norse,
Siri tra
nslates to “a beautiful woman
who leads you to
victory.”) We assign
female pronouns to them, and, in turn, they
fold feminine turns of phrase into
their robotic and occasionally
inane
answers to our requests.
If
we
prize
gender
diversity
in
other
areas
of
daily
life,
why
does
our
tech
sound
so_____43______
The
biggest
reason
for
the
female
phone
fixation
rests
in
social
science.
“Research
indicates
there’s likely to be greater acceptance
of female
____44_______
,”
says Karl MacDorman, an associate
professor at Indiana University
who
specializes in human-computer interaction.
MacDorman and his
team
played
clips
of
male
and
female
voices
to
people
of
both
genders,
then
asked
them
to
identify
which
they
_____45______.
The
researchers
also
measured
the
way
participants
responded
to
the
voices.
In
a
2011
paper,
they
reported
that
both
women
and
men
said
female
voices
came
across as warmer. _____46______, women
even showed a subconscious
preference
for responding to females; men remained
subconsciously
neutral.
Why
the_______47____
Stanford
University
communications
professor
Clifford
Nass,
who
coauthored
the
field’s
seminal
book,
Wired for Speech
, wrote that
people tend to perceive female
voices
as
helping
them
solve
their
problems
by
themselves,
while
they
view male voices as
authority figures who tell them the answers to
their problems. We want _____48______
to help us, but we also want
to be the
boss of it, so we are more likely to opt for a
female
interface.
This tendency suggests that companies
will make a better
impression on a
______49_____
group of customers with a
woman’s
voice. But not just any voice.
It has to ______50_____
a brand’s
personality. For help with that,
companies often turn to Greg Pal,
vice
president of marketing, strategy, and business
development at
Nuance
Communications,
which
licenses
its
_____51______
of
more
than
100
voices. Pal insists that some brands choose male
speakers. He
turned on his iPhone and
pulled up the Domino’s Pizza app, which
has
an
assistant,
Dom.
He
sounded
like

English

—

and helpful but not______52_____

That’s about
right for a brand
attempting to ____53_______ guys ordering pies
before the big game.
As voice technology improves, though,
designers say diversity
will
too.
Many
devices
already

a

Simpson can tell you where to take a left on your
GPS device. And Siri can become a sir,

When Frank
and I stepped through the post office doors, there
was a crowd gathered, gawking at the
new fixture on the wall like
a chorus
