But what do you do with a serviceable but outdated device? Heres a guide for figuring out what you might do with last years model (or even older ones).DONATE TO CHARITYSeveral charities accept old phones as a donation. But these groups probably wont physically give your old phones to people in need. Instead, theyll often sell your phone to recyclers and keep the money which goes towards daily management. Nearly 60 percent of the phones charities collect are resold, according to a recent survey. They will pay for shipping if you are mailing three or more phones. SELL SELL SELLOnce new models come out, older ones will flood onto eBay and other resale sites. How much money you can make off your old phone depends on the brand and how much wear and tear its seen.The resale site Gazelle, for example, is offering $140 for a Verizon-ready Samsung Galaxy S7 in “good” condition. What does “good” mean? The phone has no cracks on the screen or body, powers on and makes calls, and is free of major scratches. A “perfect” phone that looks like its never been used will land you $15 more. REUSE, REPURPOSEEven without cellular service, your old phone will be able to get on Wi-Fi, so you can use it to post on Facebook or do pretty much anything else you want provided you are in Wi-Fi range. Keep it for yourself, give it to a broke friend, or load it up with kid-friendly apps and games and hand it down to your children. Or just keep it as a backup in case something horrible happens to your main phone. 56. Why do charities choose to sell a large proportion of their donations? A. Their management has made such a decision.B. They need the earnings to cover their daily expenses.C. The donations they have received exceed what they need. D. They can earn more profits without paying for shipping. 57. Which of the following is TRUE about old models?A. Old models crowd onto online resale sites before new models are launched. B. The better condition old models are in, the higher price they will fetch.C. The old models handed down to your kids should be able to get on Wi-Fi. D. You should always have an old model at hand in case your main phone failsBWhy are some people more persuasive than others? We bring together some researches into the science of persuasion.An American researcher, Edward Burkley, studied the influence of mental exhaustion on the resistance levels of 78 students. The plan was to try to persuade them to accept one months summer holiday instead of three. Half the students came to the study fresh. But the other half first had to complete a self-control task in which they wrote down all the thoughts that came into their heads while trying not to think about a white bear. He found that the students who had performed the white bear task were less resistant to the idea of giving up two months of holiday.Two other researchers, Rosanna Guadagno and Robert Cialdini, compared the persuasive power of online communication with face-to-face meetings. They had a group of students discuss the introduction of new exams. The group was divided into pairs of the same sex, each pair including an experimenter whose role was to argue in favor of the idea. Half the discussions took place in an online chatroom, the other half face-to-face. While overall men performed similarly whether they participated in the electronic or face-to-face discussions, women in face-to-face discussions were more easily persuaded than those who only took part online.In another experiment, John Sparks and Charles Areni asked 118 undergraduates to read testimonials(推荐书) about a scanner. In one version, the testimonials included hesitation like “I mean” and “ummm”; in the other, there were none. The researchers found that when hesitant language was used, people were less easily convinced that this was a scanner worth buying even when it was a better scanner at a lower price. Style was especially important, the researchers found, when time was limited. “If you cant pay attention to what the speaker is saying,” Sparks says, “you pay attention to how they say it.”Much study has gone into how emotions aid persuasion. The best known and most studied is fear. It serves well in campaigns that try to stop you from doing something, like smoking. But fear doesnt always work, says Professor Monique Mitchell Turner, and over time, people become more resistant to scare methods. The same applies to guilt. “We dont want people to tell us were bad people,” says Turner. Anger, however, can be constructively used.58. Whats the aim of the white bear task?A. To make participants feel tired mentally.B. To see what participants know about white bears.C. To find out how well participants can control themselves.D. To help persuade participants to accept a one-month holiday.59. We learn from Paragraph 3 that if a woman wants to persuade another woman, she can _.A. ask a man to support her B. behave in an aggressive wayC. talk to the woman face to face D. communicate with the woman online60. According to John Sparks and Charles Arenis research, what is important for a testimonial?A. The product price.B. The writi
