Question

【題目】 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(傾向)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(效應)”. 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.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

本文主要講述了當發(fā)現(xiàn)有人突然倒下，你是停下幫助呢，還是作為一個旁觀者呢，并分析了人們遇到這種事件時的心理。

【1】推理判斷題。通過閱讀前兩段，尤其文中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.可知很多善良的人知道應該去幫助，但是因為一些他們也不明白的原因，他們卻并沒有行動。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中This says that the more people there are looking at an emergency, the less responsible each one of them feels.可知，這就是說看緊急情況的人越多，每個人的責任感就越低。所以人們的責任感會隨著周圍人數(shù)的變化而變化的，故選A。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)空前的句子If you are not sure, you look to other people for something about how to deal with the problem如果你不確定，你會向別人尋求解決問題的方法，這里提到了other people, 這和B 選項中的see other people doing nothing是對應的，以及后文because then you would have to do something about it. 說明其它人都沒有任何行動，故選B。

【4】本文主要講述了當發(fā)現(xiàn)有人突然倒下，你是停下幫助呢，還是作為一個旁觀者呢，并分析了人們此時的心理，結合所給選項，C選項和文章主題最接近，故選C。
