[简答题]Do you ever feel angry about someone who stands too close, talks too loudly or makes eye contact for too long Why do we feel uncomfortable with those “close talkers” Or with strangers who stand very near to us in a line
Scholars began to study personal space decades ago. They found that humans tend to avoid eye contact if they feel someone is standing too close. They put a distance between themselves and strangers.
According to scientists, personal space involves not only an imaginary space around the body, but around all the senses. People may feel their space is being violated when they encounter an unwelcome sound, scent or stare: the woman on the bus shouting into her mobile phone or the co-worker sitting next to you putting on some perfume you don’t like.
Whether people in recent times have become more protective of their personal space is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show passengers’ strong desire to have some space to themselves.
In a recent survey from
A. A.unsafe
B.uneasy
C.alert
D.curious

[简答题]Nowadays nearly everyone has suffered from a bad attack of forgetfulness when a password is needed.
The company computer. The home computer. Banking and ATM machines. Websites. Car and home security systems. The list goes on. It does not take long to accumulate a dozen or more passwords.
Scribbling them down on slips of paper or simply using the same password for anything and everything is how most people cope with the overload. The negative aspect of this is that either way makes it easier for hackers to invade computer privacy.
Researchers are now trying to do something about this by moving forward what may be an answer to the password puzzle—pictures.
Many companies are looking into various ways that images can be used to replace the standard, easily-forgotten string of letters and numbers. Pictures are much easier to remember. Researchers are also working on picture passwords that will make it more difficult for the average hacker.
Take, for instance, the sc
A. A.why people are so forgetful in the computer era
B.what happens when so many passwords are needed
C.why hackers can so easily invade computer privacy
D.what people usually do when they choose their passwords

[简答题]Honesty is the best policy, as the English saying goes. Unfortunately, honesty often deserts us when nobody is watching, British psychologists reported last week.
Researchers at UK’s Newcastle University set up an experiment in their psychology department’s coffee room.
They set a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk on the counter and hung up a sign listing the price for drinks. People helping themselves to a cup of tea or coffee were supposed to put a few cents into a box nearby.
The scientists hung a poster above the money box and alternated each week between images of gazing eyes and pictures of flowers.
The researchers found that staff paid 2.76 times more for their drinks when the image of the eyes was hung.
“Frankly we were shocked by the size of the effect,” said Gilbert Roberts, one of the researchers.
Eyes are known to be a powerful perceptual signal for humans, scientists say.
“Even though the eyes were not real, they still seemed to make people beha

[简答题]Recent attempts by the US government to write its documents in “plain English” show just how important it is to express ideas clearly in words.
US citizens and businesses have long complained that many of the government’s rules are written in overly technical, complicated language.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has particularly been the subject of much criticism and debate.
This agency makes and enforces rules to ensure employee health and safety on the job. The problem is, even after reading the rules several times, employees often don’t know what is expected of them.
Some politicians then began to speak out, saying the agency needed to make its regulations more “user-friendly.” One congressman complained employees needed “an interpreter to explain the OSHA regulations.” Others added while large corporations could pay specialists to help them understand the rules, smaller businesses were left in an almost hopeless situation.
For them, sa
A. A.are wrongly expressed
B.focus on details only
C.use many technical words
D.are beyond comprehension
