【题目】 You may have heard the saying, women are from Venus(金星) and men are from Mars (火星). It's a nice way of saying how men and women are quite different from each other in many ways.

These differences can be seen everywhere, even in how we communicate with friends. A recent study by the University of Oxford suggested that men and women keep relationships with friends far away in different ways.

Researchers questioned 30 students about their friendships just before they left for college. They followed up the questions nine months, and then 18 months later Robin Dunbar, who headed the research, told that how long friendships among women last depended on whether they made an effort to talk more to each other on the phone. Men, on the other hand, tended to (倾向于) do things differently. They went through months of not being with friends by planning meet-ups (见面) sometimes. This was the biggest difference between men and women.

Of course, gender (性别)isn't the only thing that influences how we stay in touch. The way we keep our friendships also depends on the preference(偏好) of each person, and it can take a while to find your own way of making your friendships work. One thing that is pretty clear though is that friends who make the effort to keep in touch, even if it's only through Wechat(微信)once a week, do tend to stay friends, no matter how far it is.

【题目】 You are rushing to school and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? Some people look away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved(介入)

“There is an inclination(倾向)that you don’t need to take action. The first thought that come into your mind often stop you from offering help.” says Ervin Staub, who studies the role of bystanders. Again and again, good and caring people do not come to give a hand to others They know they should act and yet, for reasons they themselves don't understand, people sometimes don't get involved. Longtime researchers of bystanders continue to study with the question, “Why?”

One thing we do know is that the more unclear a situation is, the less possible people are to help. Let's say you see vapors (水汽) coming out of a building. You ask yourself, “Is it steam(蒸汽) or smoke?”If you are not sure, you look to other people for something about how to deal with the problem______, you think“ Of course, that’s just steam. ”You don't want it to be smoke, because then you would have to do something about it.

Another one is known as “the bystander effect(效应)”. This says that the more people there are looking at an emergency, the less responsible each one of them feels. For example, if you are the only person in the world who can save someone in danger, it is more possible for you to act. However, if you are one of 100,000 people who could save the situation, you would be happier if one of the other 99,999 people did it! Because you think it's not that necessary for you to get involved!

“If you notice trouble, make yourself stop and judge the situation instead of going on walking, says Ervin Staub. “then try to get other people to help together; you don't have to take all the responsibility of being helpful. Once you get involved, most people will follow you and also offer help.

【题目】 Have you ever taken the train from Beijing to Shanghai or- the train from Shanghai to Beijing? Then how much do you know about the Beijing-Shanghai railway?
