in an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. on more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead.a typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street? it turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone. when other people are also around, a diffusion of responsibility occurs. people are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the womans assistance.63in paragraph 1, the underlined word “conform” probably means “ ”. aseek independencebdisobey orderscfollow what others dodseek pleasure64what is the purpose of the experiment described in paragraph 2?ato explain why would people be influenced by the opinions of others.bto prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of others.cto train the confederates of the experimenter as independent minded.dto describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others.65in the last paragraph, accoriding to the author, why wouldnt one help the woman?ahe thinks he has no responsibilities to give a hand.bhe thinks he has nothing to do with it.che is too shy to give his helping hand.dhe thinks someone else will offer assistance.66what method does the author mainly use to develop the text?agiving examples.bcause-effect analysis.ccomparative analysis.dprocess analysts.dbook reviews can be a great foot in the door if youre looking to get your writing published somewhere. most magazines, whether online or print, will include book reviews about books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses. also, most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves (unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column). therefore, writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career.many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book youre reviewing. instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title, start out with a little description of the book. make sure you avoid too long of a summary, though, because if too much of your article is a summary of the book, it wont be interesting. start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesnt give too much away. you dont want to tell your reader everything about the book, because then they wont have to read it at all. just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the book.some magazines like to publish book reviews that are completely objective（客观的）. this means that they want a review of the book that doesnt share your opinion and that in which your opinion isnt obvious from reading what you wrote. if you hated a book, it might not be a great book to review. you probably want to review books that you enjoyed. this will give your review a positive spin. avoid gushing about how much you loved the book, however. you should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end, where you include a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom you would recommend it.a great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a specific lens. read the book as a feminist（女权主义者） would, for example, and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or criticize the book. you can choose any number of lenses, and feminism is just one option. an economic lens, a family lens, the lens of a different nationality, or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book. if you look at a book in this way, instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion, it will be much more interesting and marketable. this is especially the case if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting. feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens, for example, because it pertains to their readership.another great way to write a book review is to talk about the writers style. anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot, but it takes an experienced writer to note inte
