38、that first exposed Volkswagens DSG defects. BYoure rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.“There is a tendency to decide tha
39、t no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping. Why should I be the one? Im probably not the most co
40、mpetent(有能力的) person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. What if he doesnt really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. No one else looks concerned- this must not
41、be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other peopl
42、e; you dont have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes its just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, It looks like we should do something.

47、ot to risk looking foolishDto stop and evaluate the situationCBEIJING , March 9 - The central government will require an additional three years of use for official vehicles for ministers and governors to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars, media have reported. The new rule has been applied amon
48、g all Party and government departments nationwide, the Beijing News reported on Tuesday. The new rule has not yet been made public, said Li, a member of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference National Committee. Under the old rules, the cars used by minister-level officials could be r
49、eplaced as often as every five years, Li said. These officials will also keep the same cars when they assume new posts, he added. The new rule also reiterated(重申) that officials ranking below minister-or-governor-levels should not be allocated cars. The cars possessed by their departments should be
50、used on demand. “It violates the rules for lower-ranking - even county-level-officials to be allocated cars,” Li said. Purchases of vehicles for official use have been heavily investigated, as they account for a large expenditure (花费) of public funds every year. A survey on the Web news found 64 per
51、cent of respondents believed the new rule will be difficult to carry out because it is related to officials interests. “Local government departments had halted(中断) approvals for requests for such vehicles and had started to work on new quotas(指标) under the new rules,” Li said. “The future reform of
52、official vehicle use will introduce market mechanisms and monetization.” Premier Wen Jiabao said in the annual government work report on Saturday that expenditures on such vehicles will not increase in 2011 compared with a year ago. Beijings standing deputy mayor Ji Lin last week said the municipal
53、(市政的) government will release the number of vehicles for official use in the capital as early as at the end of this month. Earlier this month, the Minister of Finance had published a rule regulating the budgets for such vehicles.66. What is the purpose of the new rule allocating vehicles among offic
54、ials?A. To promote a low-carbon lifestyle. B. To cut down the present huge expenditures of purchasing cars.C. To make good use of budgets for official cars. D. To solve the problem of severe traffic jam.67. How often could the cars used by minister-level officials be replaced according to the new ru
55、le?A. Every 3 years. B. Every 5 years. C. Every 8 years. D. Every 10 years.68. What about the officials ranking below minister-or-governor levels in terms of official vehicles?A. They can still possess special cars.B. They can use their own private cars.C. They can use cars whenever officially neces
56、sary.D. They can be allocated second-hand cars.69. What is the publics attitude toward the new rules fulfillment?A. Uncertain. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Passive70. From the passage, we can infer that_.A. the government is determined to carry out the new rule B. the new rule has not yet been
57、made publicC. the new rule will benefit officials interest D. the new rule is applied to minister-level officials DIf you are afraid of the dark,its not a big dealIts perfectly normal to feel afraid After all,animals do too. “Fear matters,”says Karen Warkentin,an ecologist“Its a good thing,” she add
58、s, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.”Like kids,many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of waysA frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shellA small fish will swim away when a big,hungry fish approachesSome animals respond to fear in
59、ways you might not expectThe first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying redeyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.In this species,female frogs attach jellylike clumps(果冻一样的块状物)of their eggs to the undersid
60、es of leavesThe leaves hang on branches that dangle(悬挂)over pondsAfter they hatch from the eggs,the tadpoles(蝌蚪)then fall into the water,where they eventually grow into adult frogs.Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatchingIf they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack,however,they
61、 can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim,by falling into the water early,the tadpoles can escape.If hatching early helps protect redeyed tree frogs from snakes,you might wonder why their eggs dont always hatch soonerIt turns out that hatching early brings its own d
62、angerOnce tadpoles land in the water,hungry fish and other animals like to eat them tooStaying in their eggs for a full 6 days,then,allows frog embryos(胚胎)to grow big and strongThis extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water71It can be inferred from the passage that fears .Ahelp a
