35、 Belgrave, Lakeside we video chat rather than travel across the town to meet. Actually, sitting down and interacting with someone in person can seem like a rare luxury nowadays. But as technology develops, are we losing our ability to connect and empathize (移情) with others? Empathy is the ability to

36、 feel another persons emotions and understand his/her views. In the past few decades, researchers have emphasized our ability to literally read others. The way we usually try to detect other peoples emotions is through their facial expressionstheir eyes in particular. We are told that “the eyes are

37、the windows of the soul, and eye contact is certain critical in empathy. 高三英语试卷第 11 页（共 12 页） However, empathy relies on more than reading facial expressions. New research suggests our voice can greatly help us connect. A new study by Michael Kraus from Yale University has found that our sense of he

38、aring may be even stronger than our sight when it comes to accurately detecting peoples emotions. In other words, you may be able to sense someones emotional state even better over the phone than in person. Kraus conducted three experiments to arrive at the conclusion. In all these experiments, the

39、participants gave the best performance when they only heard peoples voices (compared to when they looked at facial expressions alone, or looked at facial expressions and heard voices). In several follow-up studies, Kraus directed his attention to why the voice is such a powerful mode of empathy. He

40、asked the participants to discuss a difficult work situation over a video conferencing platform using either just the microphone or the microphone and the video. Once again, the participants were more accurate at detecting peoples emotions in voice-only calls. When we only listen to the voice, he fo

41、und, we simply focus more on the nuances (细微差别) as the speakers express themselves. How can we get better at interpreting emotions in the voices of our coworkers and loved ones? There isnt much research so far exploring this question specifically. One study on babies, cries suggested that parents wi

42、th more musical training were better at distinguishing cries of distress from other types of cries. But, really, we might not need much training. Kraus found that, once you remove other inputs (like facial expressions), your attention naturally sharpens when it comes to voice messages. Besides, the

43、human ability to catch nuances in voices may have offered a strong evolutionary advantage to our ancestors, which helped ensure survival. Youre more emotionally on the phone A question to answer Nowadays (71) communication has gained great popularity, which dramatically (72) real-life interactions.

44、In such a situation, can we still connect and empathize with others? A (73) belief about empathy Humans tend to understand what other people are (74) by detecting their facial expressions, especially from their eyes. A new study about empathy The new study was (75) on three experiments, which sugges

A(n) (77) of the new study The voice is a powerful mode of empathy, because it makes people stay (78) on the voice messages. Other discoveries According to a study on babies cries, musical train

In the United States, audio books have long been a serious business, simply because Americans on average spend so much time in their cars. “It is a good way for consumers to make the time in traffic quality time,” s
