The social experiment showed that 99at 100 people express gratitude. “I didn't think we were going to get 99. Idon’t know why. But I was pleasantly surprised because beyond just ‘thank you’,people got into conversation with us, said Steve Foran”, CEO of gratitude work.“What we know from research is that from grateful people come good things”, hesaid. The simple way to induce gratitude in people is opening doors as (6) wewent to 6 places and open the doors for people. For the experiment, Foran’s teamwent to a shopping center, a mall, two office buildings and a coffee shop. Thedoor was held for 15 to 20 people at a time at each location. (7) “We did haveone that didn’t say thank you. We were not here to judge them because on anygiven day that could be me or you.

(见上文划线部分)

【解析】

Q5. 原文中第一句话开门见山，直接表明实验主题，从第一句“to find out whether people are thankful forsomeone holding the door open for them.”可知,本次实验的目的是想探究人们会不会在别人替他留门的情况下，对对方表示感谢，考生可以在选项中对应找到同义表达即可选出答案。

Q6. 根据听力原文“we went to 6 places and open the doors for people”可以很明确的知道，SteveForan和他的团队去了6个地方分别帮助15-20个人来开门从而测试人们是否会表示感谢。考生同样在听到此细节时，选择相应答案即可。

Q7. 本道题的问题是“What do we learn from theexperiment?”即人们从该实验中可以了解到什么?我们可以推测该题想要考察本次实验的意义，那么考生可以在Foran对该实验结果的评论中得到相应的细节答案。

【听力述评】

本篇新闻话题内容主要描述了一个测试人们是否会感恩的实验过程以及结果，整体来说，话题相对来说比较贴近生活，难度适中，听力能力达标的考生完全可以在听到一些关键词后就能够选择出对应的题目答案。
