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 is named after Catherine “Kitty" Genovese, a young woman who was cruelly 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 police for help. The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police.
Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans. As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments.
There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect. First, the presence of other people creates a division 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 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a "lovers' quarrel", and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.
【小题1】The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect because          a woman surnamed Genovese.  

A.it somehow caused the murder of
B.its discovery resulted from the murder of
C.it was actually discovered by
D.it always makes people think of
【小题2】Genovese was murdered         .  
A.while she was going outB.in her apartment
C.halfway homeD.near her apartment
【小题3】 Which can NOT have been a possible reason for the neighbors NOT offering Genovese help?
A.They believed in the bystander effect.
B.They thought someone else might help her.
C.They didn't think they should help.
D.They didn't think she needed help.
【小题4】 Before deciding to offer help, observers may         , according to the psychologists. 
A.wait for sort of a signal
B.hesitate and estimate the risk of getting hurt
C.want to be sure it's appropriate to react
D.wonder if the victim is worth helping
【小题5】The article seems to suggest that, if there had been         observers, Genovese might not have been murdered.   
A.noB.fewerC.moreD.braver

Attitudes differed to small errors of grammar and usage, or inappropriateness of vocabulary and idiom, with the native speakers finding such errors a little irksome(令人厌烦的),though sometimes amusing, while the Chinese panel members paid hardly any attention to such errors as, for example, misuse of phrasal verbs and similar usages: “When I saw the job description, I decided to apply the position.” “I expect to find out a lot of challenge in the job.” “I can deal the emergency situations efficiently.”?
Errors of idiom or appropriateness caused more comment, during the post interview discussion, from the native speakers than from the Chinese panel members, on whom the errors were sometimes lost. For example, one candidate, when asked what salary he expected, replied: “I don’t care about it.” The message was clear enough, namely that he was primarily interested in the job, but the formulation of the message was not quite right. Even such ribticklers(笑话)as “I am a well planned person .”and “I would like to expose myself in another field”(both actually heard at interviews) tended to cause lipbiting among the expatriate rather than the Chinese interviewers.?
Panels with two Chinese and one expatriate used to be more common, but are becoming less common. The reason is that with more of the interview now being conducted in Chinese, the non Chinese speaker does not know what has already been asked and is liable to repeat in English questions that have already been covered in Chinese. This caused, naturally enough, confusion in the interviewee and can adversely affect the whole interview.?
The sensible procedure would seem to be to open the interview in the mother tongue of the candidates, to put them at their ease, then at a later stage turn to English, to test English proficiency. In practice, however, possibly because of the problem mentioned in the previous paragraph when the panel contains a foreigner, it is often the reverse, with a few, fairly standard, opening questions in English, and if these are successfully answered, then the job interview properly gets underway in Cantonese.?
One of the worst interview scenarios(方案)is when a foreigner who thinks she/he can speak Cantonese (but does so, in fact, badly) decides to question the interviewee in Cantonese. In other circumstances of a social nature the interviewee would no doubt politely compliment the foreigner on his or her good Cantonese, but in the seriousness of a job interview situation, the Chinese is confused and slightly embarrassed for the foreigner. These forays(初步尝试)into Chinese usually end pretty quickly with one of the Chinese members of the panel rescuing the foreigner and continuing the interview in English.?
64.Concerning misuses of phrasal verbs,____.
A.both Chinese and the native speakers of English find them amusing
B.the Chinese interviewers tend to be tolerant
C.the Chinese interviewers and the English native speaker interviewers often have a discussion
D.might sometimes become a laughing stock to the native speakers of English but draw hardly any attention from the Chinese
65.It is implied in the passage that ____.
A.Chinese are generally liable to make mistakes in English grammar and vocabulary usage
B.expatriate interviewers are generally more friendly with interviews
C.braver candidates can often get the upper hand
D.the candidates often deliver an improper message for the use of inappropriate expressions
66.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The non Chinese speaking interviewer might ask the questions which have already been asked by the Chinese and hence cause confusion.
B.It is more practicable to start an interview with a few fairly standard questions in English before switching to Chinese.
C.The best procedure of an interview would seem to be beginning in Cantonese and then testing English proficiency.
D.The Chinese interviewee often politely compliments the foreign interviewer if he or she speaks cantonese if it is not actually so good in the interview.?
67.This passage is mainly concerned with ____.
A.whether language proficiency or work ability counts in job interviews
B.how to avoid awkward situation in a job interview in HongKong
C.the language used in a job interview with both Chinese and expatriate panel members
D.the sensible procedure of getting on with an interview where the Chinese interviewee’s English is to be tested

Psychology(心理学)tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks, especially (尤其)when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.
Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn’t have the fear(恐惧)to move on. This is because of one or two failures in their lives. Please step out and don’t let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on!
In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides(提供) us with the desire (渴望)to experiment and take chances.
Risk taking is a great benefit(好处)that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories(领土). This attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the average person seems to enjoy although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and biological (生物学上的) connection (联系)creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.
Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk. There is such thing as perfect safety. We need to take risks so that we can finish many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however, the things they achieve are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they could not make more money.
We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game. It’s one of the most important parts of life.
【小题1】Some people don’t want to take risks, mainly (主要)because ___________.

A.they are too lazy to move on
B.they feel pleased with the present life.
C.they have experienced some failures before
D.they show little interest in the strange world outside
【小题2】 What does the underlined part “This attitude” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Taking risksB.Fighting off enemies
C.Discovering new territories D.Becoming stronger and stronger
【小题3】 What can we infer from the passage?
A.Daily life is full of risks
B.The safest place has the greatest risk
C.People should take risks when they are young
D.We can always achieve our goals by taking risks
【小题4】What would be the title for the passage?
A.Taking risks is easier said than doneB.On risks taken by ancestors
C.Live our life to the fullest(充分地)D.No risk, no gain.
