------emotional debt.
Dr . James Richards states that emotional debt occurs ‘when we experience emotional
pain that remain ______32___.” If the

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

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

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 Nass,
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 personality. For help with that, companies often turn to Greg Pal, vice
president of marketing, strategy, and business development at Nuance Communications,
4
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________
