If you want to win in sports, wear red
If winning is everything, British anthropologists have some advice: Wear red. Their survey of four sports at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens shows competitors were more likely to win their contests if they wore red uniforms or red body armor. "Across a range of sports, we find that wearing red is consistently associated with a higher probability of winning," report Russell A. Hill and Robert A. Barton of the University of Durham in England. Their findings are in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. ________ (1). Often it is sexually selected so that scarlet markings signal male dominance. Just think of the red stripes on the scowling face of the male Mandrill, Africa’s largest monkey species. ________ (2).It’s the female black widow spider that is venomous and displays a menacing red dot on her abdomen. Similarly, the color’s effect also may subconsciously intimidate opponents in athletic contests, especially when the athletes are equal in skill and strength, the researchers suggest. In their survey, the anthropologists analyzed the results of four combat sports at the summer games: boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling. In those events, the athletes were randomly assigned red protective gear and other sportwear. Athletes wearing red gear won more often in 16 of 21 rounds of competition in all four events. ________ (3), 19 of 29 classes had more red winners, and only four rounds had more blue winners. ________ (4). The anthropologists made a preliminary analysis of the Euro 2004 international soccer tournament, in which teams wore jerseys of different colors in different matches. They found that five teams scored more goals and won more often when they wore shirts that were predominantly red, as opposed to blue or white jerseys. Scientists don’t precisely known how wearing red might give athletes an advantage. But the color delivers implicit messages of vigor and danger. When people get angry, their faces turn red. ________ (5), so are most Ferraris
A Red coloration is associated with aggression in many animals B It’s also a reason why stop signs are red C The effect was the same regardless of weight classes D The red effect also might come into play in team sports. E But red is not exclusively a male trait F Red is more likely male’s traits

Avalanche and Its Safety
An avalanche is a sudden and rapid flow of snow, often mixed with air and water, down a mountainside. Avalanches are ____1____ the biggest dangers in the mountains for both life and property. All avalanches are caused by an over-burden of material, typically snowpack, that is too massive and unstable for the slope ____2____ supports it. Determining the critical load, the amount of over-burden which is ____3____ to cause an avalanche, is a complex task ____4____ the evaluation of a number of factors. Terrain slopes flatter than 25 degrees or steeper than 60 degrees typically have a low ____5____ of avalanche. Snow does not ____6____ significantly on steep slopes; also, snow does not ____7____ easily on fiat slopes. Human-triggered avalanches have the greatest incidence when the snow’s angle of rest is ____8____ 35 and 45 degrees; the critical angle, the angle ____9____ which the human incidence of avalanches is greatest, is 38 degrees. The rule of thumb is: A slope that is flat enough to hold snow but steep enough to ski has the potential to generate an avalanche, regardless of the angle. Additionally, avalanche risk increases with ____10____; that is, the more a slope is disturbed by skiers, the more likely it is that an avalanche will occur. Due to the complexity of the subject, winter travelling in the backcountry is never 100% safe. Good avalanche safety is a continuous ____11____, including route selection and examination to the snowpack, weather ____12____, and human factors. Several well-known good habits can also ____13____ the risk. If local authorities issue avalanche risk reports, they should be considered and all warnings should be paid ____14____ to. Never follow in the tracks of others without your own evaluations; snow conditions are almost certain to have changed since they were made. Observe the terrain and note obvious avalanche paths where plants are ____15____ or damaged. Avoid traveling below others who might trigger an avalanche.
