11、黑。 AIf you need to spend time on the road，its important to find ways to keep safe on your feet. Dont suppose its your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a
12、cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that wont be much help when youre in the hospital. Follow pedestrian signals. Just as drivers arent supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians n
13、eed to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字），stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe，especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red. Give drivers enough time to sto
14、p when crossing. Dont suppose that drivers willjam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue a ticket if you dont give drivers enough time to brake. Cross quickly. Once youve followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, dont th

Signals for Both Pedestrians and Drivers B Need for closure is a psychological term that describes a persons desire for a firmanswer to a question. Our need for closure is our natural preference for

Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase, and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions: who we decide to trust, whether we admit were wrong and even how c
20、reative we are. In hiring, for instance, a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on their first impression. Its called the Urgency Effect. In one experiment, psychologists tried to lower peoples need for closure by telling them, right before participants are about to make var

In making any big decision, its not enough just to know that we should take our time.We all know that important decisions shouldnt be rushed. The problem is that we
22、dont keep that advice in mind when it matters. So, one of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders.

C Harper Lee,
26、 whose 1961 novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south, has died at the age of 89. Until last year, Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend. To Kill a Mockingbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize, remain
27、ing a towering presence in American literature. Another novel, Go Set a Watchman, was controversially published in July 2015 as a sequel to Mockingbird, though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird first draft. But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success, the author co
28、nsistently avoided public attention. Lee had lived for several years in a nursing home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville, Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her famous book.

If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 37 Eyes do speak, right?
