Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine foods role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV where someone pretending to

The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble (咬), while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person
20、 eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develo

With its numerous malls, hotels, and beautiful beaches, Dubai has always been a popular holiday destination. This city was visited by around 5 million tourists each year
27、. The government wanted to increase this number to 15 million. However, Dubai has only 45 miles of coastline, which is nowhere enough for so many people. To solve this problem, an island that looked like a palm tree was built in 2006, and named the Palm Jumeirah.The plan for the island was extraordi
28、nary. It was to host several hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, and homes. Although the initial plan was to build the island from concrete（水泥）, a decision was taken to create it from sand and gravel（砾石）, so as to give it a natural look. To make sure that this project was a success, the best engine
29、ers from across the world were employed. Engineers from Holland formed the majority in this group. To begin with, the engineers calculated the strength of storms at sea, and also the expected amount of rise in water levels due to global warming. And then they found that, the proposed location for th
30、e island was neither very wide nor deep.One of the difficulties the engineers came across was to put sand on the sea bed to create the breakwater（防浪堤）.Finding the right sand for the project was also a daunting task, as the sand from Dubais deserts was too fine. Instead, sand from the sea was used, a
31、s it was coarser（粗糙）. Once the breakwater was built, construction of the island began.The Palm Island are really impressive in terms of engineering. However, these projects are so large that they may have changed the ecology of the region. Also, an immense amount of money and resources go into maint

35、ty of Singapore(NUS)has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibil
36、ity (能见度)of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a causal relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team ana
37、lysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.The researchers also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company in
38、volved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents would occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. Assuming an average repair cost of S$1,000 per car and a dow
39、ntime of six days, switching the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual savings of S$2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate(证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For instance, we hope to compare
40、the accident rates of yellow school buses against other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we are also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors,” explained Prof Ho.32. W
