Several weeks later, when I 49 the situation to my friend Ken Hardy, he smiled, "You 50 a classic mistake. You're stuck 51 your own way of thinking. You didn't 52 to be late.

Reading Comprehension: 7*2 = 14 scorespoor是什么意思
A (201711浙江B)
It's surprising how much simple movement of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights (领悟).
So if moving the body can have the effects, what about the clothes we wear? We're all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive (认知动名词作定语) performance or is it just a feeling?
Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people's powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have clo attention to detail.
What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than tho who weren't. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as tho wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test (one way of measuring attention). The rearchers call the effect "enclothed cognition," suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our c
ognition in many different ways.
This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-bad experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glass and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef's hat make the restaurant food taste better?
