14、ange your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops.

15、describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found.

19、 out that 280character tweet，the Facebook reply，or a paragraphslong email.Surely the reason，logic，and strong power of your written words will convince whoever it is who disagrees with you to see your point of view.But new research suggests a different idea.That research was conducted by Juliana Schr
20、oeder，assistant professor of University of California，Berkeley，and her colleagues.In Schroeders study of almost 300 people，participants were asked to watch，listen，and read arguments about subjects they agreed or disagreed with.They were asked to judge the character of the communicator and the qualit
21、y of the argument.Schroeders team found that the participants who watched or listened to the communicator were less dismissive (抵触的) of their claims than when they read that communicators same argument.The idea for her study came from a newspaper article about a politician.One of us read a speech th
22、at was printed in a newspaper from a politician with whom he strongly disagreed.The next week，he heard the exact same speech playing on a radio station.He was shocked by how different his reaction was toward the politician when he read the speech compared to when he heard it.When he read the stateme
23、nt，the politician seemed idiotic，but when he heard it spoken，the politician actually sounded reasonable.So in the workplace，speaking to someone in person often involves nothing more than walking a few doors down to their office.And thats exactly what you should do if you need to convince that boss o

28、ent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份), its the beanpoles with big appetites you re
29、ally need to avoid.To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly(表面上)participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was aske
30、d to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds.

31、mount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The resul
32、ts were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when were making decisions.

33、he “Ill have what shes having” effect. However, well adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, Ill hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits.

The advisers listen, guide and answer students questions.Co
38、nnor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they dont think they have what it takes to get in and because many dont even know what schools are out there.
