People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another 1 , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(绊脚) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his 2 ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to 3 aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In 4 these and other research findings, two themes are 5 : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think 6 assistance. In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. 7 , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be 8 , but had apparently been "lost". The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very 9 person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to 10 the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive. The degree of 11 between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) 12 T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words. Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone. 13 to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for 14 than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be 15 rather than drunk. | ||||

How would you like to study at an American university in China? 1 the news that New York University (NYU) is opening a campus on Chinese mainland, the possibility of getting an American education is coming closer to a 2 . But how will Chinese students deal with a very different style of teaching? 3 that encourages debate, discussion and critical thinking? You know how kids constantly ask questions? They have so much to learn and simply 4 information. Asking questions _5_ they are curious. So 6 does that natural 7 become weaker? Not at kindergarten, nor at primary school. But perhaps with puberty(青春期) 8 self-consciousness and a reluctance to draw attention to yourself by asking the teacher questions. 9 , that's a pity, because asking your teachers questions should be encouraged. After all, they've been educated, 10 a lot more experience than you and perhaps possess a little wisdom. When I taught journalism at college in Scotland I 11 answering students' questions. Some of them asked difficult ones. I didn't always know the answers. If I didn't, I'd admit 12 and try to find out later. At university we were encouraged to challenge our peers and tutors. A student would prepare a paper on a subject and other students would 13 it. It was a way of 14 critical and logical thinking. You can learn to think logically, 15 some of the more difficult problems would probably require advanced math. Having a logical mind can help develop critical thinking. My wife doesn't have a logical mind, but she does have emotional intelligence. An ability to empathize(有同感) with people, relate to them and 16 their personalities is also important to critical thinking. I can't claim to have 17 like her emotional intelligence, but I'd like to think some of it has influenced me. If you can't 18 try to put yourself in someone else's 19 , how can you understand their situation and their problems? So try to develop your powers of critical thinking. 20 books, films, music and newspapers. And don't believe everything you read or see. Think for yourself. | ||||

A new study in West Africa shows how farm irrigation systems powered by the sun can
produce more food and money for villagers.The study in Benin found that solarpowered pumps
are effective in supplying water,especially during the long dry season.
SubSaharan Africa is the part of the world with the least food security.The United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that more than one billion of the world's people
faced hunger last year.Around 265 million of them live south of the Sahara Desert.Lack of
rainfall is one of their main causes of food shortages.
Jennifer Burney from Stanford University in California led the study.The research team
helped build three solarpowered drip irrigation (滴灌) systems in northern Benin.Between
30 and 35 women used each system to pump water from the ground or a stream.Each
woman was responsible for farming her own 120 square meters of land.They also farmed
other land collectively.
The solarpowered irrigation systems produced an average of nearly two tons of vegetables
per month.During the first year,the women kept a monthly average of almost nine kilograms
of vegetables for home use.They sold the surplus produce at local markets.The earnings
greatly increased their ability to buy food during the dry season which can last six to nine
months.People in the two villages with the systems were able to eat three to five more
servings of vegetables per day.But making the surplus available at markets also had a wider
effect.
The study compared the villages with two others where women farmed with traditional
methods like carrying water in buckets.The amount of vegetables eaten in those villages also
increased,though not as much.The researchers note that only four percent of the cropland in
SubSaharan Africa is irrigated.Using solar power to pump water has higher costs at first.But
the study says it can be more economical in the long term than using fuels like gasoline,diesel
or kerosene.And solar power is environmentally friendly.
