The “Bystander Apathy Effect” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbors ignored—and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs—the cries of a woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that:

(1) women are helped more than men;

(2) men help more than women;

(3) attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.

    Other factors relate to the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help.

    According to Adrian Furnham, Professor of University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:

(1) “Shifting of responsibility”－the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people’ there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.

(2) “'Fear of making a mistake'’－situations are often not clear. People think that those involved in an accident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves.

(3) “Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.”

    Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the experiments I’ve seen on intervention (介入), much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved, and a fight would easily follow. ”

    Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual: “The British as a whole have some difficulty intervening, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety: These would be people with a strong moral code or religious ideals.”

A. When one is in trouble, people think it’s his own fault.

B. In a football match, people get involved in a fight.

C. Seeing a murder, people feel sorry that it should have happened.

Can you imagine traveling to work in a one-man submarine?

Scientists believe that someday one-man submarines will be as numerous as automobiles today. One says,  “One day soon,  men will walk on the ocean floor as they do on the street. ” Perhaps during your life time,  people will travel,  work and live under the sea.

Ships carrying oil and articles of trade will move beneath the ocean. Passenger ships will be built to travel underwater,  where storms cannot delay them or make people seasick. Special underwater ships will be designed for mining,  fishing,  and exploring unknown areas. For military use,  there may be submarines that can fly and then dive underwater to approach the battle area without being seen.

First, however, the human problems associated with living in the ocean will need to be studied in detail. Many of these problems are the same as the problems of living in outer space: pressure, lack of oxygen, and weightlessness. Already scientists have begun to study these problems.

In 1963 and 1964 scientists and navy divers lived and worked underwater for several days in two projects which were called Sealab Ⅰ and Sealab Ⅱ. The Sealab Ⅱ experiment kept the scientists and divers 215 feet below the surface for thirty days, studying marine biology,  temperature,  pressure,  currents,  and ocean bottom geology.

Many puzzling questions remain unanswered,  however. Man’s warm blood makes it difficult for him to live long in the sea without some kinds of warmth. Can our blood be changed to fit new water surroundings?  What will happen to our muscles if we live in the water very long?  Will they become soft away from our usual land existence?  Will bones become weak and our blood pressure change?  Scientists are searching for answers.

By studying plants and animals deep in the ocean,  scientists may find a cure for some of our most serious human diseases. We may learn to use plants to increase our world food supply. Engineers may learn to use the power of the sea by building huge walls to catch the force of the tides.

61. In the passage, the author is talking to us about the problems of______ .

A. pressure, lack of oxygen, and weightlessness in the sea

B. living, working below the ocean

C. underwater submarine

D. walking on the ocean floor

62. According to the author, in future, passenger ships might be the ones that can_______ .

A. be used for mining, fishing and exploring unknown areas

B. carry oil and articles of trade

C. travel underwater, not be affected by storm

D. fly and then dive underwater

63. Whether we live in the sea or in outer space, first of all we should think of______

A. health and food

B. safety and temperature

C. temperature and oxygen

D. pressure,  oxygen and gravity

64. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Sealab I worked for more than thirty days below the surface.

B. Sealab Ⅱ worked for thirty days under the sea for exploring unknown areas.

C. Sealab Ⅱ kept the scientists over 200 feet below the surface,  studying temperature,  pressure and so on.

D. Sealab I and Sealab Ⅱ kept the scientists 215 feet below the surface for thirty days.

65. To become used to living in the sea, we should try to_______ .

A. increase the amount of our blood

B. keep our blood warm

C. soften our muscles

D. warm our bones

Some people think studying under pressure keeps us motivated. Maybe a little pressure does good to us, but too much pressure is not favorable to students. Scientific studies show people studying under too much pressure generally don’t perform as well as they do when they are not under extreme pressure. Psychologically, too much pressure can lead to mental problems or disorders. In recent years, there has been an increase in stress related diseases among college and high-school students. A newspaper article says many students admit that they have cheated in exams because of excessive pressure coming from their parents and teachers who demand high marks in their examination.

Chinese politeness have always been formal to follow strict rules, although sometimes Chinese people seem to be impolite according to Western standards in public places. To well understand Chinese, some concepts should not be ignored.

Mianzi

The idea of shame, usually expressed as 'face' could be loosely defined as the 'status' or 'self-respect' in Chinese and by no means alien to foreigners. It is the worst thing for a Chinese to lose face. Never insult, embarrass, shame, yell at or otherwise demean a person. Since all these actions would risk putting a Chinese in a situation that he might lose face, neither try to prove someone wrong nor shout at him in public. In order to get a successful effect without letting a Chinese lose face, any criticism should be delivered privately, carefully, or else, just opposite to what you wish.

Guanxi

Throughout much of Chinese history, the fundamental glue that has held society together is the concept of guanxi, relationships between people. It is very important for the Chinese to have good relationships. They often regard good social relations as a symbol of personal ability and influence. Someone who has no connections would be disrespected and is only half-Chinese.

Keqi

Keqi not only means considerate, polite, and well mannered, but also represents respect and modesty. It is impolite to talk too proudly about oneself or one's inner circle. The expression is most often used in the negative, as in buyao keqi, meaning "you shouldn't be so kind and polite to me," or "you're welcome."

Besides, Chinese seldom express what they think directly and they prefer a roundabout way. Neither show their emotions and feelings in public. They rarely greet people with a handshake, though it is very popular among foreigners, and say nothing of embracing or kissing when greeting or saying good-bye. Consequently, it is better not to behave too carefree in public, even though you are well-intentioned. Also, it is advisable to be fairly cautious in political discussions. Do not particularly push yourself forward, or else you are unwelcome.

To sum up, do in Rome as Rome does, but you need not worry about these cultural barriers since most Chinese are hospitable and friendly and will not mind your no accomplishment.

1.In most Chinese’s eyes, the fundamental glue holding society together is the idea of ____.

A. relationships between people           B. influences upon others

C. dependence on others                   D. kindness to others

2.The underlined word “demean” in the first paragraph means make people _____.

A. respectful         B. happy            C. shameful        D. weak

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. It is impolite to insult, embarrass, shame or shout at a person.        

B. It is polite that you should bring gifts to others when invited to dinner.

C. It is necessary to show your character of being considerate, polite, and well mannered.     

D. It is important for the Chinese to have good relationships between people.

4. Which of the following proverbs has the same meaning as the underlined sentence “Do in Rome as Rome does.”?

A. Caution is the parent of safety.        B. Many hands make light work.

C. There’s no smoke without fire.          D. If you are elsewhere, live as they do there.
