Our voice gives away a lot of information about ourselves. It can tell us our gender(性别)and age. And now, scientists say that it can also tell us our height.

Scientists at Washington University, Indiana University and University of California found that listeners could accurately tell the height of speakers, just by their voices. And the key to this mystery is a sound known as the subglottal resonance（声门下共振）. It deepens with height and helps us build a mental picture of a person.

“The best way to think about subglottal resonances is to imagine blowing into a glass bottle with water. The less water in the bottle, the lower sound,” said John Morton, a scientist at Washington University. And it’s the same for humans. The frequency of the subglottal resonance depends on the height. The taller we are, the deeper the resonance frequency is.

In order to find out whether people could identify the resonance, scientists did experiments. A number of same-sex pairs of different heights were told to read the same sentence aloud. It was played back to listeners who had to choose which one of the pairs was taller. Then, other listeners had to rank the speakers from the shortest to the tallest. The listeners were able to identify the tall people 62.17% of time, much higher than a lucky guess.

Why not try the experiment yourself? Find out if your tall friends have deeper voices.

1. The scientists in some American universities found that people’s voices ________.

A. change more quickly as they get older　　

B. can tell the height of the speaker

C. sound different when they have water in their mouth

D. can tell the speaker’s gender, age and weight

2. The underlined word deepens might mean ________ in Chinese.

A.变得刺耳　　 B. 变得高亢　　 C.变得低沉　　 D. 变得甜美

3. According to the study, taller people usually have a ________ voice.

A. deeper　 B. louder　 C. lower D. higher

4. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Our voice is made up of the subglottal resonance.

B. The people tested in the experiments were of different-sex pairs.

C. A person’s voice is greatly different even when reading the same sentence.

D. Listeners’ ability to identify taller speaker is much higher than a lucky guess.

5. The best title of the passage might be ________.

A. How to Be Taller　

B. Our Voice Tells Our Height

C. An Experience about Voice　

D. Something about Subglottal Resonance

Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese. But one year ago, the l4-year-old girl from Heilongjiang began to write her diaries in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed the language because her mother can’t read English. “It’s like killing two birds with one stone，” said Jia. “My privacy（隐私）becomes safe and my English improves a lot.”

Jia’s mother is not the only mom who reads her child’s diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 2,300 parents. The results show that about 40％ of parents read their children’s secrets.

That’s why many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy.

Wu Lei, 15, from Shanxi，keeps a diary, too. But he doesn’t write it on paper．He writes online, which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents “know nothing about the Internet”.

Lu Huan, 13, from Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in her room. To solve this problem, Lu asked her parents to buy her a cell phone.

“Parents want to know what is going on in their children’s lives,” said Shao Xiaozhen, a teenage expert in Beijing. “But sometimes they go about it the wrong way.” Shao suggested the teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking to parents is a better solution.” If your parents know that you are safe, they’ll let you keep your secrets. ”
