参考范文:
I like Stanley Milgram's experiment in 1967 best.In the middle of America, he chose some people randomly and asked them to send packages to a stranger in Massachusetts.The senders only knew limited information about the stranger.They were told to send the package to someone they knew who might know the target.Amazingly, it only took 5-7 people to deliver the parcels.I like it because it was simple yet effective, clearly proving the “Six Degrees of Separation” theory.
