Alexis was hot and tired. With rage in her voice she shouted, "Pull me up！I give up, I hate this. This is stupid!" It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip, looked at me and said, "Ed, I'm going to go down and talk with her." I then shouted down to Alexis, "Hold on! You can do this. We know you can!"

Jason grasped another rope, put his climbing harness(系带)on and began to move down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that stuck outward. Jason said to Alexis, "I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feet and fingers are cramping(痉挛)up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But , Alexis, you are strong, look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult paths up the cliff. Alexis, look at the path you have taken."

At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used in her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis' eyes and in a calm voice he said, "You are not alone out here, there are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to do this together. Are you ready?" Slowly she nodded her head and took a deep breath.

We are naturally drawn to friends and colleagues with familiar voices, scientists have found．People prefer those who have a similar accent，intonation and tone of voice to themselves , they discovered．

Previous research has focused on how masculine or feminine a voice sounds．Men with deeper voices and women with slightly higher voices were thought to sound more attractive，because they suggest a bigger or a smaller body．

But the new study，published by a linguistics(语言学)expert in Canada，suggests there is a

more complex mechanism(机制)at play．Dr Molly Babel, from the University of British Columbia in Canada, said，“The voice is an amazingly flexible(灵活的)tool that we use to construct our identity．Very few things in our voices are changeless，so we felt that our preferences had to be about more than a person’s shape and size．’’

She recorded 30 volunteers’ voices and asked each to rate the others’ attractiveness on a scale of one to nine．Each participant was from western America，with similar accents．The people we assessed were all in the same dialect group，but they showed that dialect to different degrees．

“We seem to like people who sound like we sound，we like people who fit within what we know，”Dr Babel said．She also found that breathy voices in women－typified by the famous American actress Marilyn Monroe－were seen as more attractive．

The breathy tone，caused by younger and thinner vocal cords(声带)，implied youthfulness

and health A creaky voice，suggesting a person has a cold，is tired or smokes，was seen as unattractive．The participants preferred men who spoke with a shorter average word length and deeper voices．

The linguist，whose work is published in the journal PLOS One，said，“Once you’re outside of a certain range of familiarity，novel and exotic sounding voices might become more attractive．We also have to keep in mind we find some accents more preferable than others because of social fixed ideas．”

1.In terms of voice preferences，the new findings highlight_______.

A．body size and shape　　　　 B．shorter word length

C．thicker vocal cords　　　　 D．the same social groups

2.Dr. Molly Babel mentions Marilyn Monroe in order to________.

A．evaluate a creaky voice

B．explain her new findings

C．challenge previous research

D．promote the actress’s reputation

3.According to the passage，who would most probably have a creaky voice?

A．An old lady with a silvery voice．

B．A young lady with a thin voice．

C．A deep-voiced man with a dry throat．

D．A little man with a quiet and gentle voice．

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．People favor familiar accents when in a new place．

B．People might have a preference for different accents．

C．Voice preferences have no link to long-held belief．

D．Voice preferences are influenced by sex differences．

5.The main purpose of the passage is to________.

A．encourage men to use shorter words and talk less

B．inform readers of the findings of voices

C．argue against women’s breathy way of speaking

D．compare male voices with female voices
