27、A report.C. A novel.D. An essay.BMy morning routine varies little from day to day. I walk the dog, eat breakfast at the kitchen counter with Katie and Matt, and then settle in for a day at the computer. And because I work mostly from home, I have learned that little walks into the outside world are

28、important for psychological well-being. So before I begin attempting to put sentences together, I walk over to a little coffee shop in my neighborhood, and chat with the folks behind the counter.The coffee shop is on the other side of the historic Chesapeaker & Ohio Canal from my house. Whenever

29、 in season, tourists line up to take a slow boat, if not to India, at least into the 19th century.One warm day last fall, I turned the corner to see one of the boatmen sitting alone on the boat, bathed in early-morning light. He was playing the violin. The scene stopped me in my tracks. What I witne

30、ssed could only be described as a perfect moment. Ten seconds at most. But months later I still remember just standing there, watching, listening, and taking it all in.We all have such moments put before us. Little surprises. Whether were wise enough to see them is another thing.I thought of the vio

31、lin man one Sunday afternoon while reading the biographies of those killed in the Columbia incident. The specialist Laurel Clark, talking from the shuttle a few days before it was to land, said it was blissful to see the simple unexpected wonders of space, like a sunset. “Theres a flash; the whole p

32、ayload bay turns this rosy pink,” she said. “It only lasts about 15 seconds, and then its gone.”I once had a friend who had a strange habit that never stopped to amuse me, maybe because I never quite knew when she was going to spring it on me. It could come in the middle of a particularly lively din

The main influence on people is people. When we hear the wo

36、rds social influence, most of us think of deliberate attempts of someone to persuade us to change our actions or opinions. The TV ad comes to mind. But many of the most important forms of social influence are unintentional, and some of the effects we humans have on one another occur as a result of t

37、he simple fact that we are in each others physical presence.In 1898 a psychologist named Triplett made an interesting observation. In looking over speed records of bicycle racers, he noticed that better speed records were obtained when cyclists raced against each other than when they raced against t

38、he clock. This observation led Triplett to perform the first controlled laboratory experiment ever conducted in social psychology. He instructed children to turn a wheel as fast as possible for a certain period of time. Sometimes two children worked at the same time in the same room, each with his o

39、wn wheel; at other times, they worked alone. The results confirmed his theory: Children worked faster in coaction, that is, when another child doing the same thing was present, than when they worked alone.Soon after Tripletts experiment on coaction, it was discovered that the mere presence of a pass

40、ive audience rather than a coactor was enough to help performance. This was discovered accidentally in an experiment on muscular (肌肉的) effort and tiredness by Meumann in 1904, who found that subjects lifted a weight faster and farther whenever the psychologist was in the room. Later experiments have

41、 confirmed this audience effect.It appears that coaction and audience effects in humans are caused by the persons concerns about competition and the evaluation of performance that others will make. We learn as we grow up that others praise or criticize, reward or punish our performances, and this ra

42、ises our drive level when we perform before others. Thus, even the early studies of coaction found that if all elements（要素）of competition are removed, coaction effects are greatly reduced. Similarly, audience effects are a function of the subjects interpretation of how much he is being evaluated. 62

According to the writer, which of the following would be an example of coaction effect?A. A woman works harder when the boss is in the room than when she is alone.B.

45、 Joe works more slowly when he is together with friends than when he is alone.C. Players work harder when they exercise together than when they each exercise alone.D. Bobs two children finish their homework faster when he is watching than when he is not.65. Which is the best title for the passage?A.

46、 Coaction Makes You Slow Down B. Social InfluenceC. An Interesting ObservationD. Effect of Audience PresenceDDear Textual Healing,I would be very interested in your recommendations for any books to help me through a difficult time of my life. At 57, f am feeling a bit lost.

47、g husband and bright, caring teenage daughter but I am lonely and have lost my spark for life.I have always taken care of everyone and managed a career, but, after the death of my father this summer, my difficulties as a child in a terribly abnormal family have come back to me regularly. / have beco

49、letter youve given us about your life, its no wonder youre feeling a little lost. But before prescribing titles to help you get your groove back, Id recommend taking a journey into Rebecca Solnits non-fiction book, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, which is packed with the wisdom of everyone from Pat B

50、arker to Thoreau and Keats.The word lost is rooted in the Old Norse “los”，meaning the disbanding of an army. “This origin suggests soldiers falling out of formation to go home, ceasing fighting with the wide world. I worry now that many people never disband their armies, never go beyond what they kn

51、ow,” Solnit writes. So instead of fearing that lost feeling, try seeing its potential for discovery. Explorers, remember, are always lost simply because theyre forever someplace new.“Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark,” Solnit advises. “Thats where the most important things

52、come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go.” For something that asks a little less of the reader while still giving plenty in return, try a dose (剂）of Anne Tyler, the beloved creator of numerous heroes whose serious conditions will move anyone who finds themselves in a midlife di

53、fficult situation. One such character is 53-year-old Rebecca Davitch, the heroine of Back When We Were Grownups. Like you, shes combined marriage and motherhood with a career but suddenly finds herself feeling lonely in her own home. Could it be, she wonders, that shes “turned into the wrong person&

54、quot;? Don't be fooled by the way this novel ambles along as Rebecca revisits youthful ambitions and the college boyfriend she abandoned, it asks some heart-rending questions before arriving at a place of graceful, joyous acceptance.Along similar lines, I'm also going to recommend The Unlike

55、ly Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. Its hero is 65 when he learns that a former colleague sick. On his way to post her a note，he decides instead to visit her on foot, from his home in deepest Devon to England's northernmost town, more than 600 miles away. You dont manage that without fo

56、cus! Its a journey to a holy place that will take him 87 days to complete, during which he considers his childhood, marriage and relationship with his son, and becomes an accidental media sensation (轰动). By the time he reaches his destination, youll feel anything but tired.Finally, Ruth Ozekis novel A Tale for the Time Being will charm the missing spark back into your life. Combining the diary of a sad Tokyo teenager with the story of the middle-aged novelist who finds it, washed ashore on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia, its a
