20．From snow-clogged mountain roads to desert highways，freeways to crowded city streets，Californians face a variety of tough driving conditions．But thanks to savvy driving，they consume proportionately less gasoline the rest of the nation．Here，some tips from the Golden State that will help drivers all over the country to get up to 25% more miles per gallon!By SUSAN NESTOR
FREEWAY FRENZY
●Try to maintain a steady speed-especially on freeways and expressways．Never exceed a steady 55 mph．Varying speed by as little as 5mph can reduce mileage by 1.5 miles per gallon．Avoid constant lane changes to"get ahead．"
●Buy radial tyres． If you do a lot of expressway driving，they can increase mileage by as much as 10%．Your fuel savings will pay for the higher tyre price．
 
ON CITY STREETS
●Plan your route．City driving consumes about 50% more fuel than highway driving （100% more in crowed traffic）．Always choose a route with synchronized traffic signals to get the best run for your money．
●Avoid unnecessary braking． Anticipate（预期）traffic light changes； it takes a lot of extra gas to get the car up to speed again．
COLD
●In winter，keep the car in a garage． It will start up easier，and start-up time is when you use the most gasoline．No garage？Cover the engine compartment with an old blanket or rug to shield it from cold winds； remove before starting up．
●Remove all ice and snow． Driving in snow consumes more gas anyway； no sense hauling around extra weight．

A．In winter，you will have difficulty starting up a car if it is kept in a garage．
B．Drivers should avoid necessary breaking and constant lane changes．
C．A steady 65 mph is the ideal speed to save gasoline．
D．Radial tyres can help increase mileage in expressway driving．

12．Whether it is"women and children first"or"every man for himself"in a shipwreck may depend on how long it takes the ship to sink，researchers said recently．
When the Lusitania was torpedoed （用鱼雷袭击） by a German ship in 1915，it sank in 18 minutes and the majority of the survivors were young men and women who responded immediately to their powerful survival instincts．
But when the Titanic struck an iceberg in 1912，it took three hours to go down，allowing time for more civilized behavior to take control--and the majority of the survivors were women，children and people with young children．
Economist Benno Torgler of the Queensland University of Technology in Australia and his colleagues studied the two sinkings in order to explore the economic theory that people generally behave in a"rational"and selfish manner．The two tragedies provided a"natural experiment"for testing the idea，because the passengers on the two ships were quite similar in terms of gender and wealth．
The major difference was how long it took the ships to sink．They suggested that when people have little time to react，instincts may rule．When more time is available，social influences play a bigger role．But psychologists noted that many factors other than following social norms （社会规范）could come into play in a disaster，including an evolutionary urge to save the species，attachments that are formed between individuals during the event and the leadership of authority figures．
The extent of altruism（利他主义）and how it occurs"is a very controversial issue，"said Anthony R．Mawson，a professor of preventive medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center．He thinks the dominant response was attachment behavior．
Psychologist Daniel Kruger of the University of Michigan，US thinks that the answer lies less in social norms and more in our evolutionary heritage．Human beings have a deep instinct to preserve our kind，he said，and that means"people are more likely to save those who have higher reproductive value，namely the young and women in child-bearing years"．
Kruger also stressed the importance of leadership during a disaster，noting that the Titanic's captain appeared to have greater control than the Lusitania's．

The time it took the ships to sink
79．Besides social norms and leadership，what other factors play a part in disaster behavior？
The evolutionary urge to save the species and the emotional/interpersonal attachments
80．According to Daniel Kruger，Why do the young and women of child-bearing age take the priority to survive？
Because they are more important to the survival of the species
81．What does the passage mainly tell us？
The reasons why people behave differently in a disaster．

So，why should you go to college？The reasoning does not begin and end with the（34）Daspect．A good education is （35）C from many different viewpoints，and while the importance of a college education is quite evident for many high school students，what is often not as clear is how they will pay for that education．
