问题     You may have noticed that the voices of politicians seem to change as they rise up the ranks. Now scientists【B1】______that being in a position of power can fundamentally change the way you speak and other people can【B2】______on these vocal cues.
    Psychological scientist Sei Jin Ko of San Diego State University and her team had long been interested in non-language-related properties of【B3】______, but it was former U. K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher that【B4】______them to investigate the relationship between acoustic (听觉的) cues and power. To find out, the researchers designed a study. They【B5】______161 college students reading a passage so they could record their natural acoustics. The participants were then【B6】______assigned to play a specific role in a negotiation exercise. Students assigned to a "high rank" were told to go into the negotiation imagining that they either had a strong alternative offer, valuable inside information, or high status in the workplace. Low-rank students,【B7】______were told to imagine they had either a weak offer, no inside information, or low workplace status. The students then read a second passage aloud in【B8】______, as if they were negotiating with an imaginary adversary and their voices were recorded.
    Comparing the first and second recordings, the researchers found that the voices of students assigned to high-power roles tended to【B9】______in pitch, as well as become more monotone—with less variable in pitch—and varied more in volume than the voices of students assigned low-power roles. "Amazingly, power affected our participants’ voices in almost the exact same way that Thatcher’s voice changed after her【B10】______training," said Professor Galinsky, a researcher in the team.
