[课后作业] (限时30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A A new study，published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology，found that ocmmunication that included voice，like a phone call or video chat，created stronger social bonds than communication through typing，like text messaging or email. In the study，researchers used various experiments to measure connectedness.In one，they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then asked people at random (随机地) to do one or the other.Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward，hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better. “People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone than by email，and they did not feel more awkward，” study co­author Amit Kumar，an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business，said in a statement. In another experiment，the researchers had strangers connect by either texting，talking over video chat，or talking using only audio.They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only­­made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated by texting. Sabrina Romanoff，a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City，says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience，as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can“exchange information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person”． Romanoff says that in reality，texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation.“A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the exact effects of the message.” she explains.“Each party is more present，and therefore，able to measure the meaning behind the content without reflecting on the endless possible meanings behind words.” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了研究 发现，与文字相比，语音能建立更强的社交纽带。 1．How was the study carried out?
