When an emergency situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses.This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect.

       The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect, which was named after Catherine Kitty Genovese, a.young woman who was murdered on March 13, 1964.Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work.As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed(刺)by a man later identified as Winston Moseley.Despite Genovese]s repeated cries for help , none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called the police for help .The attach first began at 3:20 , but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted the police.

       There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect.First, the presence of other people creates a diffusion(分散)of responsibility.Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present.

       The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways.When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate.Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation, is ambiguous.In the case of Kitty Genovese, many of the 38 witnessing reported that they believed that they were witnessing a " lovers' quarrel" , and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.

1.The passage seems to suggest that Genovese might not have been murdered if there had been_____.

       A.no observer                                       B.fewer observers

       C.more observers                                   .                            D.younger observers

2.Genovese was murdered                    .

       A.while she was going out                      B.in her apartment

       C.halfway home                                D.in front of her apartment ?

3.The underlined word "this" in the last paragraph probably refers to ____.

       A.not doing anything to help                     B.behaving in correct ways

       C.taking action                                       D.murdering

4.We can learn from the passage that Genovese's neighbors didn't lend a hand partly because they ____.

       A.were afraid of being attacked by the murderer

       B.thought someone else might come to her rescue.

       C.didn't get along well with her

       D.were sure it was murdering

Research by Scotland Yard published in a London newspaper, has proven that knife crime in London is a serious non – white phenomenon, with 165 of the 225 under- 18s accused of knife crime in the past three months being from the black or other non – white groups.

       According to Scotland Yard, only 60 of the 225 crimes were white.Despite being a small minority of the knife holding criminals, whites did, however, make up the single largest group of victims of knife crime.

       According to the Scotland Yard report, whites made up 222 of the 637 victims of knife crime over the last three months.This number could probably be higher, as 292 victims were not identified by race.

       This month Scotland Yard Deputy Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson suggested knife crime has replaced drug selling as the top concern for London police.

       Sir Paul said so as he announced a specialist knife crime unit to deal with teenagers carrying knives in the capital.It will use a team of 75 specialist officers to find criminal group members and their supporters.

Detective Inspector, George Rhoden, president of the National Organisation of Black Law Enforcement Executives said, “In the black community we have all noticed that there is major concern about gun and knife crime.Clearly we are not the only part of the community affected by the problem of children who have no fathers, but parental responsibility should be of major concern.”

       Around 59 percent of black Caribbean children and 54 percent of mixed – race youngsters are looked after by a lone parent.In the white British population, the number is 22 percent.

1.From the above, we can see that       in knife crimes in London.

       A.there are more whites than blacks as victims

       B.there are more blacks than whites as victims

       C.blacks make up the smallest group of criminals

       D.blacks make up the second largest group of criminals

2.What Sir Paul Stephenson said suggests that     

       A.drug selling has replaced knife crime as the top concern for London police

       B.drug selling had been the top concern for London police in the past

       C.knife crime used to be the top concern for London police

       D.London police now pay no attention to drug selling

3.What measure has the government taken to deal with the problem of knife crime?

       A.Punishing the parents of teenagers carrying knives.

       B.Arresting the teenagers carrying knives.

       C.Forming a specialist knife crime unit.

       D.Fining the teenagers carrying knives.

4.According to George Rhoden, which of the following factors contributes to so many young blacks turning to crime?

       A.That they are poorly educated.

       B.That they are influenced by their fathers.

       C.That many of them come from incomplete families.

       D.That their parents are too busy to take care of them.
