Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than d

45、as after a few weeks of acquaintance.”Lewin thought that this idea of friends as fast fashion might be encouraged by the United Statess high level of residential mobility (居住流动性).Gillath and Keefer did studies where people took questionnaires about their willingness to discard things and their histo
