Emotional Debt

Many people
today live
under
the weight of debt
from loans or credit cards
.
As harmful as ___31_______ debt is , there is another form of debt that is even
more damaging ------emotional debt.
Dr . James Richards states that emotional debt occurs ‘when we experience
emotional pain that remain ______32___.” If the pain is not dealt with , it
will affect us our entire lives. Throughout the years , we have chances for
happiness , love and success . But unresolved pain can emerge , causing us to
respond
in ways
that
aren’t reasonable ,
resulting
in destroyed relationships
and lost opportunities . Another ___33____result of emotional debt is that our
friends and loved ones are affected by it and pay a high price. When we have
a
tendency
to
respond
_____34____,
we
often
hurt
those
around
us
.
Unfortunately
our
unsettled
problems
sometimes
become
too
much
for
them
to
_____35____
causing
them to abandon the relationship .
People with destructive patterns should check their lives for signs of
unresolved pain , for your emotional debt can come from various forms of past
unfair , cruel or violent treatment or ____36_____. You may be holding onto
painful
memories
of
controlling
parents
or
very
_____37_____teachers
,
also
you
may
not
have
dealt
with
the
pain
of
a
broken
relationship
or
the
death
of
a
loved
one. Any negative emotion that you have controlled over the year can come back
to cause harm when you least expect it.
Recognize your feelings , but don’t focus on them all the time , because
___38______and challenging your pain is difficult , but recognizing it is the
first step toward dealing with it . Admit you are angry about the past , and

it
down
because
this
will
ease
some
of the danger and hatred you’ve kept _____39____ up for years . Refuse to be

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:
For each blank in the following passage there are four words or
phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that
best fits the context.

Ask Siri if she’s a woman. Go ahead; try it. She’ll tell you she’s
______41_____
. “Like cacti. And certain species of fish,” she might say. So
is Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana, Samsung’s S Voice, and Google Now.
But, man, do they ever sound a lot like women. ____42_______, we think of them
as ladies too. (In Old Norse, Siri translates to “a beautiful woman who leads
you to victory.”) We assign female
pronouns to them, and, in turn, they fold
feminine turns of phrase into their robotic and occasionally inane answers to
our requests.
If we prize gender diversity in other areas of daily life, why does our
tech sound so_____43______? The biggest reason for the female phone fixation
rests in social science. “Research indicates there’s likely to be greater
acceptance of female____44_______
,” says Karl MacDorman, an associate
professor
at
Indiana
University
who
specializes
in
human-computer
interaction.
MacDorman and
his team
played clips of male and female voices
to people
of both
genders, then asked
them
to identify which
they _____45______. The researchers
also measured the way participants responded to the voices. In a 2011 paper,
they
reported
that
both
women
and
men
said
female
voices
came
across
as
warmer.
_____46______
, women even showed a subconscious preference for responding to
females; men remained subconsciously neutral.

.
Why
the
_______47____
?
Stanford
University
communications
professor
Clifford
Na
ss, who coauthored
the field’s seminal book,

Wired for Speech
, wrote that
people tend to perceive female voices as helping them solve their problems by
themselves, while they view male voices as authority figures who tell them the
answers to their problems. We want _____48______ to help us, but we also want
to be the boss of it, so we are more likely to opt for a female interface.
This tendency suggests
that
companies
will
make
a
better
impression
on
a
______49_____

group of customers with a woman’s voice. But not just any voice.
It
has
to
______50_____

a
brand’s
p
ersonality.
For
help
with
that,
companies
often
turn
to
Greg
Pal,
vice
president
of
marketing,
strategy,
and
business
development
at
Nuance
Communications,
which
licenses
its
_____51______

of
more
than
100
voices.
Pal insists that some brands choose male speakers. He turned on his iPhone and
pulled
up
the
Domino’s
Pizza
app,
which
has
an
assistant,
Dom.
He
sounded
like
my
high
school
English
teacher
—
educated
and
helpful
but
not
______52_____
.
That’s
about right for a brand attempting to
____53_______
guys ordering pies before the
big game.
As voice technology improves, though, designers say diversity will too.
Many devices already let you
_______54____
a voice interface. Homer Simpson can
tell you where to take a left on your GPS device. And Siri can become a sir,
if you take the time to
___55________
. Want to know how to do it? Ask her. She’ll
tell you in her uniquely warm, helpful

When Frank and I stepped through the post office doors, there was a crowd

was just the same.
