During the study, these young people watched videos of people with no expressions walking towards them. When the person on the video got too "close" to them, they pushed a button tc stop the video and record how close they allowed the person to get The results showed that the young people kept the person at a distance of 6o% further if they hadn't got enough sleep.

"Son, tf you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish", I remember being even more upset then because, "I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does? As I got a little older, I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And] 第5页(共9页) CS 扫描全能王 3亿人那在用的扫画^pg even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly.meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water tc deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer ini direct sunllght than in the shade Yet, fish don't have any eyelids and the sun hurts their eyes..The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them. When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, "We all need to think like sales people." But it didn't completely make sense. My dad never once said, "If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman." What he said was, "You need to think like a fish." Years later, with great efforts t promote long term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job.

I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people: it car give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction: and it can cause social pressure in a group An important negative (负面的) effect of gossip is that it can hurt the persor being talked about. Usually gossip spreads information about a topic that a person prefers to keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is. the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute (绝的) lie. Peopl often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of 第6页(共9页) CS 扫描全能王 3亿人那在用的扫^pg gossip, Sharing the latest rumor (传言) can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the "in group". In other words. gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority (优越感) Gossip can also have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. For example, if everybody you hang around with is laughirg at what John worerorwhat Jane said, then you-can be sure that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attentlon. The dos and don'ts carried through gossip will never show up in any student handbook Next time you feel the urge G冲动) to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your "juicy story" might have. ( )37. Which of the following is one of the sffects of gossip? A. It leads to cruel lies. B. It may do harm to people C. It stays on a certain topic D. It spreads the latest information. ( ) 38. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Gossip can provide people with written rules B. Gossip can help people deal with negative attention C. Gossip can remind people to watch their own behaviors. D.
