  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 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 am 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.”

  Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other.Then one day, Sue saw Jim's music collection.She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned.At that moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking.Sue said, “I thought we had nothing in common(相同)until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.

  Some psychologists(心理学家)think that your taste in music is related to(有联系的)your personality.As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs.The volunteers then listened to each other's CDs and made guesses about the CD creator's personality-outgoing, adventurous, happy, and so on.These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others' personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films.For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities.

  The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg(hip-hop)fans are likely to be energetic and talkative.People who like U2(rock/pop music)are generally independent and adventurous.

  The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong(jazz)fans tend to(倾向于)be shy.The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.
