12.Thirty-two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right beneath their windows.She was their neighbor.Yet none of the 32helped her.Not one even called the police.Was this in gunman cruelty?Was it lack of feeling about one's fellow man?
Not so,say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane.These men went beyond the headlines to seek the reasons why people didn't act.They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help.First he has to notice that is an emergency.
Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk.Is he having a heart attack?Is he in a coma from diabetes(糖尿病)?Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?
Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning?Is it steam pipes?Or is it really smoke from a fire?It's not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
Second,and more important,the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible.He must feel that he must help,or the person won't get the help he needs.
The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around.They had college students in to be tested.Some came alone.Some came with one or two others.And some came in large groups.The receptionist started them off on the tests.Then she went into the next room.A curtain divided the testing room and the room into which she went.Soon the students heard a scream,the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help.All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.
Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help.Of the students in pairs,only two out of ten helped.Of the students in groups,none helped.
In other words,in a group,Americans often fail to act.They feel that others will act.They,themselves,needn't.They do not feel any direct responsibility.
Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble?Yes.Scientists found that the people were emotional,they sweated,they had trembling hands.They felt the other person's trouble.But they did not act.They were in a group.Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.

32.The purpose of this passage isA.
A.to explain why people fail to act in emergencies
B.to explain when people will act in emergencies
C.to explain what people will do in emergencies
D.to explain how people feel in emergencies
33.The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act in emergencies whenC.
A.they are in pairs       
B.they are in groups
C.they are alone        
D.they are with their friends
34.The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is thatD.
A.they are afraid of emergencies
B.they are unwilling to get themselves involved
C.others will act if they themselves hesitate
D.they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help
35.The author suggests thatA.
A.we shouldn't blame a person if he fails to act in emergencies
B.a person must feel guilty if he fails to help
C.people should be responsible for themselves in emergencies
D.when you are in trouble,people will help you anyway.

2.The sport of running offers many good points.First,it is a great way to get in shape.It also helps relieve stress,gives you more energy,and makes you proud of what you are accomplishing.
Running is a sport easy to do.It is one of a few sports that you can do alone.You need very little equipment.Most runners are happy with just these few things:
●A comfortable pair of running shoes that have good arch and ankle support and allow your feet to breathe properly
●A good quality stopwatch such as Penta,ATLAS,or LifeTime,WHEN TIME
●A water bottle
It is important for beginning runners to pace themselves,increasing their time and speed gradually.If you are a beginner,try following these steps:
(1)Walk slowly for 30minutes.
(2)Alternate slow walking with short periods of fast walking.
(3)Add short running sessions into your 30-minute walk.
(4)Try a 30-minute run when you feel ready,but never become so winded that you could not carry on a conversation.
You will soon discover benefits from running that you will not want to give up.You will feel more relaxed and focused.Your concentration will improve and you will find that,even though you are taking 30minutes each day from your busy schedule,you will get more done.Try it!What do you have to lose?

51.Why is it easy to do the sport of running?It is one of a few sports that you can do alone.You need very little equipment.
52.What equipment is necessary for a runner?A comfortable pair of running shoes,a good quality stopwatch,and a water bottle.
53.What should you do first if you start to try running?Walk slowly for 30 minutes.
54.What does the underlined word"winded"mean in English?Unable to breathe easily.
