Obama's success isn't all good news forblack Americans
    As Erin White watched the election results head towardsvictory for Barack Obama, she felt a burden lifting from her shoulders."In that one second, it was a validation for my whole race," sherecalls.
    "I've always been an achiever," says White, who isstudying for an MBA at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. "But there hadalways been these things in the back of my mind questioning whether I reallycan be who I want. It was like a shadow, following me around saying you canonly go so far. Now it's like a barrier has been let down."
    White's experience is what many psychologists had expected -that Obama would prove to be a powerful role model for African Americans. Somehoped his rise to prominence would have a big impact on white Americans, too,challenging those who still harbour racist sentiments. "The traits thatcharacterise him are very contradictory to the racial stereotypes that blackpeople are aggressive and uneducated," says Ashby Plant of Florida State University."He's very intelligent and eloquent."
Sting in the tail S^D@8<6GJ
    Ashby Plant is one of anumber of psychologists who seized on Obama's candidacy to test hypothesesabout the power of role models. Their work is already starting to reveal howthe "Obama effect" is changing people's views and behaviour. Perhapssurprisingly, it is not all good news: there is a sting in the tail of theObama effect.
    But first the good news. BarackObama really is a positive role model for African Americans, and he was makingan impact even before he got to the White House. Indeed, the Obama effect canbe surprisingly immediate and powerful, as Ray Friedman of Vanderbilt Universityand his colleagues discovered.
    They tested four separategroups at four key stages of Obama's presidential campaign. Each groupconsisted of around 120 adults of similar age and education, and the testassessed their language skills. At two of these stages, when Obama's successwas less than certain, the tests showed a clear difference between the scoresof the white and black participants—an average of 12.1 out of 20, compared to8.8, for example. When the Obama fever was at its height, however, the blackparticipants performed much better. Those who had watched Obama's acceptancespeech as the Democrats' presidential candidate performed just as well, onaverage, as the white subjects.After his election victory, this was true of allthe black participants.
Dramatic shift 9qGba=}Ey
    What can explain thisdramatic shift? At the start of the test, the participants had to declare theirrace and were told their results would be used to assess their strengths andweaknesses. This should have primed the subjects with "stereotypethreat" – an anxiety that their results will confirm negative stereotypes,which has been shown to damage the performance of African Americans.
    Obama's successes seemed to actas a shield against this. "We suspect they felt inspired and energised byhis victory, so the stereotype threat wouldn't prove a distraction," saysFriedman.
Lingering racism L|s\IM1g
    If the Obama effect ispositive for African Americans, how is it affecting their white compatriots (同胞)? Is theexperience of having a charismatic (有魅力的) black president modifying lingering racist attitudes?There is no easy way to measure racism directly; instead psychologists assesswhat is known as "implicit bias", using a computer-based test thatmeasures how quickly people associate positive and negative words—such as"love" or "evil"—with photos of black or white faces. Asimilar test can also measure how quickly subjects associate stereotypicaltraits—such as athletic skills or mental ability—with a particular group.
    In a study that will appear inthe Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, Plant's team tested 229 studentsduring the height of the Obama fever. They found that implicit bias has fallenby as much as 90% compared with the level found in a similar study in 2006."That's an unusually large drop," Plant says.
    While the team can't be suretheir results are due solely to Obama, they also showed that those with thelowest bias were likely to subconsciously associate black skin colour withpolitical words such as "government" or "president". Thissuggests that Obama was strongly on their mind, says Plant.
Drop in bias Rq?t=7fX)
    Brian Nosek of the University of Virginiain Charlottesville,who runs a website that measures implicit bias using similar test, has alsoobserved a small drop in bias in the 700,000 visitors to the site since January2007, which might be explained by Obama's rise to popularity. However, hispreliminary results suggest that change will be much slower coming than Plant'sresults suggest.
Talking honestly w<]-~` K
    "People now have theopportunity of expressing support for Obama every day," says Daniel Effronat Stanford Universityin California."Our research arouses the concern that people may now be more likely toraise negative views of African Americans." On the other hand, he says, itmay just encourage people to talk more honestly about their feelings regardingrace issues, which may not be such a bad thing.
    Another part of the studysuggests far more is at stake than the mere expression of views. The Obamaeffect may have a negative side. Just one week after Obama was electedpresident, participants were less ready to support policies designed to addressracial inequality than they had been two weeks before the election.Huge obstacles GCw4sb4~w
    It could, of course, alsobe that Obama's success helps people to forget that a disproportionate numberof black Americans still live in poverty and face huge obstacles when trying toovercome these circumstances. "Barack Obama's family is such a salient (出色的) image, wegeneralise it and fail to see the larger picture—that there's injustice inevery aspect of American life," says Cheryl Kaiser of the University ofWashington in Seattle. Those trying to address issues of racial inequality needto constantly remind people of the inequalities that still exist to counteractthe Obama's effect, she says.
    Though Plant's findings weremore positive, she too warns against thinking that racism and racialinequalities are no longer a problem. "The last thing I want is for peopleto think everything's solved."
    These findings do not onlyapply to Obama, or even just to race. They should hold for any role model inany country. "There's no reason we wouldn't have seen the same effect onour views of women if Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin had been elected,"says Effron. So the election of a female leader might have a downside for otherwomen.
Beyond race N. nGez
    We also don't yet know howlong the Obama effect—both its good side and its bad—will last.Politicalsentiment is notoriously changeable: What if things begin to go wrong forObama, and his popularity slumps?
    And what if Americans become sofamiliar with having Obama as their president that they stop considering hisrace altogether? "Over time he might become his own entity," saysPlant. This might seem like the ultimate defeat for racism, but ignoring therace of certain select individuals—a phenomenon that psychologists callsubtyping—also has an insidious (隐伏的) side. "We think it happens to help people preservetheir beliefs, so they can still hold on to the previous stereotypes."That could turn out to be the cruellest of all the twists to the Obama effect.

Part III

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25minutes)

Section A
Directions: Inthis section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incompletestatements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or completethe statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
    Question: My ninth-grade art teacher doesn't give any gradeabove 94% because, she says, "There's always room for improvement."In previous years, I earned a 99% and a 100%. The 94 I received this term doesnot reflect the hard work that I put into this course. Because of her"improvement" theory, I got a lower grade than I deserve. Is hergrading philosophy ethical (符合职业道德规范的)?
    Answer: Your teacher's grading system may be unwise, but itis not unethical. A teacher deserves wide latitude in selecting the method ofgrading that best promotes learning in her classroom; that is, after all, theprime function of grades. It is she who has the training and experience to makethis decision. Assuming that your teacher is neither biased nor corrupt andthat her system conforms to school rules, you can't fault her ethics.
    You can criticize her methodology. A 100 need not imply thatthere is no possibility of improvement, only that a student successfullycompleted the course work. A ninth grader could get a well-earned 100 in English class but still have a way togo before she writes as well as Jane Austen. What's more, grades are not onlyan educational device but are also part of a screening system to help assignkids to their next class or program. By capping her grades at 94 while mostother teachers grade on a scale that tops out at 100, your teacher couldjeopardize a student's chance of getting a scholarship or getting into a topcollege.
    What it is wrong to condemn her for is overlooking your hardwork. You diligence is worthy of encouragement, but effort does not equalaccomplishment. If scholars suddenly discovered that Rembrandt had dashed off"The Night Watch" in an afternoon, it would still be "The NightWatch."
    I could spend months sweating over my own"paintings", but I'd produce something you wouldn't want to hang inyour living room. Or your garage.
    One feature of a good grading system is that those measuredby it generally regard it as fair and reasonable—not the case here. Simmering (难以平息的) resentmentis seldom an aid to education.And so your next step should be to discuss yourconcerns with your teacher or the principal.

50. The example of Rembrandt's painting suggests that a distinction should bemade between ______.
51. The ninth-grader is advised to go to his teacher or the principal to______.
Section B
Directions: Thereare 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B),C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the correspondingletter on AnswerSheet 2 witha single line through the centre.
Passage One 3%1wQXr0
Questions 51 to 56 are based on the following passage. lnyq%T[^
    Only two countries in theadvanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for anewborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the dubiousdistinction by establishing paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasn'tsurprised when this didn't make the news here in the United States—we're now the onlywealthy country without such a policy.
    The United States does have oneexplicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993. Itentitles workers to as much as 12 weeks' unpaid leave for care of a newborn ordealing with a family medical problem. Despite the modesty of the benefit, theChamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly, describing itas "government-run personnel management" and a "dangerous precedent".In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried tointroduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have beenstrongly opposed.
    As Yale law professor AnneAlstott argues, justifying parental support depends on defining the family as asocial good that, in some sense, society must pay for. In her book No Exit:What Parents Owe Their Children and What Society Owes Parents, she argues thatparents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is "no exit"when it comes to children. "Society expects—and needs—parents to providetheir children with continuity of care, meaning the intensive, intimate carethat human beings need to develop their intellectual, emotional and moralcapabilities. And society expects—and needs—parents to persist in their rolesfor 18 years, or longer if needed."
    While most parents do this outof love, there are public penalties for not providing care. What parents do, inother words, is of deep concern to the state, for the obvious reason thatcaring for children is not only morally urgent but essential for the future ofsociety. The state recognizes this in the large body of family laws that governchildren' welfare, yet parents receive little help in meeting the life-changingobligations society imposes. To classify parenting as a personal choice forwhich there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the socialbenefits of good parenting; really, it is to steal those benefits because theyaccrue (不断积累) to the whole of society as today's children becometomorrow's productive citizenry (公民). In fact, by some estimates, the value of parentalinvestments in children, investments of time and money (including lost wages),is equal to 20-30% of gross domestic product. If these investments generatehuge social benefits—as they clearly do—the benefits of providing more socialsupport for the family should be that much clearer.

Passage Two
Questions 57 to 62 are based on the following passage. B:v_5e\f@
    A new study from the Centerfor Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts Universityshows that today's youth vote in larger numbers than previous generations, anda 2008 study from the Center for American Progress adds that increasing numbersof young voters and activists support traditionally liberal causes. But there'sno easy way to see what those figures mean in real life. During thepresidential campaign, Barack Obama assembled a racially and ideologicallydiverse coalition with his message of hope and change; as the reality of lifeunder a new administration settles in, some of those supporters might becomedisillusioned. As the nation moves further into the Obama presidency, willpolitically engaged young people continue to support the president and hisagenda, or will they gradually drift away?
    The writers of Generation O(short for Obama), a new Newsweek blog that seeks to chronicle the lives of agroup of young Obama supporters, want to answer that question. For the nextthree months, Michelle Kremer and 11 other Obama supporters, ages 19 to 34,will blog about life across mainstream America, with one twist: by tying all oftheir ideas and experiences to the new president and his administration, thebloggers will try to start a conversation about what it means to be young andpolitically active in America today. Malena Amusa, a 24-year-old writer anddancer from St. Louissees the project as a way to preserve history as it happens. Amusa, who istraveling to India thisspring to finish a book, then to Senegal to teach English, has ongoingconversations with her friends about how the Obama presidency has changed theirdaily lives and hopes to put some of those ideas, along with her globalperspective, into her posts. She's excited because, as she puts it, "Idon't have to wait [until] 15 years from now" to make sense of theworld.
    Henry Flores, apolitical-science professor at St. Mary's University, credits this youngergeneration's political strength to their embrace of technology. "[TheInternet] exposes them to more thinking," he says, "and groups thatare like-minded in different parts of the country start to come together."That's exactly what the Generation O bloggers are hoping to do. The resultcould be a group of young people that, like their boomer (二战后生育高峰期出生的美国人) parents, growsup with a strong sense of purpose and sheds the image of apathy (冷漠) they'veinherited from Generation X (60 年代后期和70 年代出生的美国人). It's no small challenge for a blog run by a group ofordinary—if ambitious—young people, but the members of Generation O are up tothe task.
