36、on for Public Opinion Research. “The preliminary (初步的) results of our study suggest that people are more likely to disclose sensitive information via text messages than in voice interviews，” says Fred Conrad, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.“This is sort of
37、 surprising”， says Conrad，“since many people thought that texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information because it creates a persistent, visual record of questions and answers that others might see on your phone and in the cloud.”With text, the researchers also found that
38、 people were less likely to engage in “satisficing” a survey industry term referring to the common practice of giving good enough, easy answers. “We believe people give more precise answers via texting because theres just not the time pressure in a largely asynchronous (非同步的) mode like text that the
39、re is in phone interviews，” says Conrad. “As a result, respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.” Conrad conducted the study with Michael Schober, a professor of psychology at the New School for Social Research. “Were in the early stages of analyzing our findings，” says
40、 Schober. “But so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview, even when they know its a human interviewer they are communicating with via text. What we cannot yet be sure of is who is most like
41、ly to be disclosive in text. Is it different for frequent texters, or generational, for example？”For the study, the researchers recruited approximately 600 iPhoneusers through Google Ads, offering them iTunes Store rewards to participate in the study. Their goals were to see whether responses to the
42、 same questions differed depending on several variables: whether the questions were asked via text or voice, whether a human or a computer asked the questions, and whether the environment, including the presence of other people and the likelihood of multitasking, affected the answers.59The underline
43、d word “candid” in Para. 1 probably means _.Aambitious Bcritical Cstraightforward Dsubjective60We can learn from the passage that _.Aabout 600 iPhone users have been awarded iTunes by researchersBdifferent variables might affect the responses of messagingCtexting will give away less sensitive inform
44、ationDpeople fond of text messaging are more honest61Compared with phone interviews, texting has the strength that people could _.A. pay less for sending a message B. enjoy more freedom of speechC. have more time to make a reply D. present their best to the interviewers62Which is the best title for

47、nmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.Smog is especially a common concern. As a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and
48、eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.At a meeting on Monday, many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel,
49、which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? Its for living a better life.
