Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension Passage 1 Anger Tests conducted at the University of Pennsylvania's Psychological Laboratory showed that anger is one of the most difficult emotions to detect from facial expression.Professor Dallas E.Buzby showed 716 students pictures of extremely angry persons， and asked them to identify the emotion from the facial expression.Only two percent made correct judgments.Anger was most frequently judged as “pleased”.And a typical reaction of a student seeing the picture of a man who was extremely angry was to classify his expression as either “confused” or simply “amazed”. Other studies showed that it is extremely difficult to tell whether a man is angry or not just by looking at his face.The investigators found further that women are better at detecting anger from facial expression than men are. Surprisingly， they also found that psychological training does not sharpen one's ability to judge a man's emotions by his expressions but appears actually to slow it down.For in the university tests， the more courses the student had taken in psychology， the poorer judgment scores he turned in.

For example， in order to work out present and future needs we must know how people are housed now， and the sizes and ages of their families.For hospitals， schools and other local services， the size of annual grants made by the Government to these services depends largely on the numbers and needs of people in the area. Many of the figures come from the census.In order to work out future spending for pensions， we need to know people's ages， how many are men and how many are women， whether they are single or married， and the size of the family.The census shows how many people have moved from one area to another and how the local workforce is changing.This information is used when factories， offices， shops， public transport and places for leisure are being planned.The census is taken in order to provide figures about the nation as a whole.It does not give information about any named person， family or household.Names and addresses are needed to take the census accurately， but they are not fed into the computer.After the census， the forms are locked away and will not be released to anyone outside the Census Office for 100 years.The answers you give on your census form will be treated secretly.No one outside the Census Office will see your completed form — but if you refuse to complete your form properly， you may be taken to court and the form could be produced as evidence.Everyone working on the census is required to keep it secret and can be prosecuted if he or she improperly reveals information. census ［ sens s］ n. 人口普查 figure ［ fiɡ ］ n. 數字，數目 pension ［ pen n］ n. 退休金，養老金 release ［ri li s］ v. 公開;發行 prosecute ［ pr sikju t］ v. 對（某人）起訴 Unit 12 Information Technology 149 Task 2 Directions : Choose the best answer. 1.
