12.The Bystander (旁观者)EffectWhen an emergency situation occurs,observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses. (36)B
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,(37)F. 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.(38)D.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.
(39)C. In the case of Kitty Genovese,many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a"lovers'quarrel",and (40)E.

A.They hesitate and assess the risk of getting hurt
B.This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect.
C.Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is unclear
D.First,the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility
E.they did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.
F.none of the people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help.
G.the attacker didn't stop stabbing her.

7.Different peoples have different religions and cultures because of the different places they live and their different traditions and customs and history.
While Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western World,it's good to know there are some differences in culture.If you are considering moving to a European country,you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.
One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(认知)time and space.For example,a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient.This is probably because America is a fairly young country.However,in Europe,something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2,000 years old.However,perception of distance seems to be the opposite.While Europeans would consider 100 kilometres a long way to drive,Americans would not think twice.This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated.In fact,the United States is over twice the size of Europe.
Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States.American automobiles usually have automatic transmissions(自动变速器)while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器).European automobiles are smaller and more round-shaped,while American cars are larger and more square-shaped.Trucks and limousines(豪华轿车)are vehicles that Americans enjoy.In Europe,however,these types of vehicles are hardly seen,as they prefer smaller cars due to parking and traffic congestion.
The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States.In America,parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college.Most schools and universities in Europe,however,are free of tuition.In fact,children are expected to attend college there.

25.The author wrote the second paragraph mainly toC.
A.tell the differences between Europe and America

B.Europe has been at least 2,000 years old.
C.A hundred kilometres is a long way to drive.
D.It is proper to drive a distance of 100 kilometres.

Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk,I went to a friend.He looked at me for a moment,and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had: Be bold and brave—and mighty(强大的)forces will come to your aid.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past,it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand,whenever I had plunged into deep water,forced by courage or circumstance,I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat.And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess: energy,skill,sound judgment,creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly,those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine,Tim,was an excellent football player,even though he weighed much less than the average player. "In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player,who had nothing but me between him and our goal line," said Tim. "I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet—and stopped him cold."

Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely,there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee(保证)of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So,always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.
