A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker

The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance A person

conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle

or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm At interpersonal levels, the tone

may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them Here the participant’s

tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the acute listener Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining

effects by voice and /or gesture The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music,

in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication

Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing,

or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front How a speaker perceives the

listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free

and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed

NEIGHBOURS INFLUENCE BUYING DECISIONS

However objective we believe ourselves to be, most of us do not judge a product solely on its merits, considering quality, value and style before making a decision (61) , we are easily influenced by the people around us

There is nothing (62) _ with this It is probably a smarter way to make decisions than (63) on only our own opinions But it does make life hard for companies They have long understood that groups of friends and relatives tend to buy the same products, but understanding the reasons has been tricky It is because they are so similar with (64) _ to how much money they make and what television ads they watch that they independently (65) at the same decision? Or do they copy one another, perhaps (66) envy or perhaps because they have shared information about the products?

Research in Finland recently found overwhelming evidence that neighbours have a big influence on buying decisions When one of a person’s ten nearest neighbours bought a car, the chances that that person would buy a car of the same brand during the next week and a half (67) by 86 per cent The researchers argued that it was not just a (68) _ of envy Used cars seemed to attract neighbours even more than new cars This suggested that people were not trying to (69) _ up with their neighbours, they were keen to learn from them Since used cars are less reliable, a recommendation of one can (70) influence a buying decision

As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become

increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks High-fat diets and

"life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure But according

to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising

Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns A higher percentage of heart

attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the week In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after waking

Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have since discovered a number

of possible causes An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M and 10:00 A.M

In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors Statistics revealthat

heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays And unmarried men are more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered

B We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks

C We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks

D We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks
