　　Do you ever feel angry about someone who stands too close, talks too loudly or makes eye contact for too long?For many of us, the answer is probably yes．But what makes us feel uncomfortable with those“close talkers”?Or with strangers who stand very near to us in a line?

　　Scholars began studying personal space decades ago, in a field known as proxemics．They found that humans tend to avoid eye contact if they feel someone is standing too close．They put a distance between themselves and strangers．According to scientists, personal space involves not only an imaginary space around the body, but around all the senses．People may feel their space is being violated when they encounter an unwelcome sound, scent or stare：the woman on the bus shouting into her mobile phone or the co-worker sitting next to you putting on some perfume you don't like．

　　Whether people in recent times have become more protective of their personal space is hard to say．Yet studies of airlines show strong desire to have some space to oneself．In a recent survey from Trip Advisor, a travel website, travelers said that if they had to pay for certain benefits, they would rather have larger seats and more legroom than massages and extra food．A current advertisement for Eos Airlines, which flies between New York and London, is promoting the fact that it offers“21 square feet of personal space”．

　　While people may want space, they rarely know how deep these proxemics are．Scholars know that commuters hold newspapers in front of them to read, but also to shield themselves from strangers．“If you videotape people at a library table, it's very interesting that one of the corner seats will go first, followed by the chair diagonally opposite because that is farthest away,”said US proxemics expert Dane Archer．“If you break those rules, it's fascinating,”he added,“People will pile up books as if to make a wall．”

　　Preferences for personal space differ from culture to culture．Scholars have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people in Mediterranean and Latin American cultures and mean in Arab cultures．“In the US, it's closely linked to ideas of individuals,”said Kathryn Sorrells, a US communication studies professor．“It's part of a culture that highly values independence, privacy and capitalism．”

London--- A mother has criticised（批評）“selfish” passers-by for failing to help her teenage son after he fainted (暈倒) on a packed tram platform.

Oliver Tiplady was on his way to school when he fainted at the tram stop. But instead of helping the 14-year-old, who was in school uniform，those nearby simply walked around him. Her mother, Susan Tiplady , said, “How can people leave a child for that matter, on the floor like that? How could they all have ignored him? They must have lacked any basic humanity and had no piry on a child.” She said her son regained consciousness (意識) about ten minutes after fainting at the tram stop last week. “He managed to get up and sit down before his friends turned up, but by then he was too embarrassed to tell them what had happened. It wasn’t until he got to school that he told a teacher.” she added.

BEIJING - At least 15 pupils were confirmed dead after a school bus rolled over in Xuzhou, East China's Jiangsu province.

The accident occurred around 6 pm on Monday .There were 29 pupils on the bus .The bus was traveling on the road when two electric bikes suddenly cut in and the driver was trying to avoid them.. The bus was produced by Shaolin Auto Co Ltd in Henan province and had a full capacity ( 容量) of 52 passengers.

South Korea ---South Korea's largest mobile phone operator said Thursday that it will offer cell phone users a new noise service that it says will drive away mosquitoes（蚊子）.

SK Telecom Co. said consumers can pay 3,000 won ( 韓元 ) （$2.50） to download a sound wave that can’t be heard by human ears but annoys mosquitoes within a range of three feet. Customers can then play the sound just by hitting a few buttons on their mobile phones. The company claimed that the service worked during tests .The service, which begins Monday, has one drawback: it consumes as much battery power as normal cell phone rings.

56. After Oliver Tiplady fainted at the tram stop , ________

A. the passers-by went up to him and helped him up.

B. his friends turned up and helped him up in the end .

C. he told the whole story to his friends and teacher .

D. he came to life and struggled to his feet himself eventually.

57. The best word to describe the passers–by is ______  .

A. warm-hearted       B. considerate       C. cold-hearted       D. calm

58. From the passage , we can infer _______

A. the accident happened because of two electric bikes .

B. the school bus was overloaded when the accident happened .

C. the bus driver was speeding up when the accident happened .

D. the bus driver was driving carelessly when the accident happened.

59. According to the passage , we know the service of the cell phone _______ .　

A. can drive away mosquitoes beyond three feet .

B. will cost the consumers lots of money to enjoy

C. is complicated for the consumers to enjoy

D. is easy to operate but a bit energy-consuming
