     The British are known as people who love to stand in line, but a new research (调查) shows that the
British are only about average (平均数) at waiting politely in a queue. The French are the best. It's the
Germans who don't have a good habit (习惯) of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They
begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast
enough for them.
     The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line-to get tickets,
to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that
they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half
minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British
in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others' time.
     The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do.
In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said," I' m terribly sorry. I didn't realize there was a
queue. Do go before me." People smiled and said."Oh, that's all right, one more won't matter much."It was
also found in France, where 80％ of the people didn't mind standing in line. only if they were treated politely.
While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said,"If only they could learn
from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing,
they might find that the queue then moves faster."

     Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies
need. It has been shown that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with
vitamins to water without vitamins even there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water
bottles. When a fragrant flavor (香味) was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seem to
develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time,
however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.
     In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria feeding arrangement,
with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever they pointed to or appeared
interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns (方式), but over a period
of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.
     So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them. Apparently,
there is a kind of "body wisdom", which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long established habits. Some
people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much
they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.
