1 . A young man in Wuhan, Hubei Province has become the latest Internet sensation after a video showing his heart-warming act on a subway train went viral on social media     1    (recent).

In the video, the man can be seen     2    (hold) his mobile phone in his hand after falling asleep on a Metro, with a message in large font on the screen which reads, “Please wake me if you need my seat.”

The video     3    (record) by a fellow passenger who posted it on Weibo, The video,     4    length was just 7 seconds, has been viewed more than 19 million times in just two days. Chinese netizens were greatly touched by the young man’s act and applauded him for his kind     5    (behave). A web user even commented, “I only needed 7 seconds to fall    6    love with this young man.

The humble man     7    (refuse) an interview invitation after becoming an Internet star and said that he just did     8    he felt he should. In a Weibo post , he thanked netizens for     9    (they) love and praise. He said he would always fall asleep when he had nothing to do on the train but worried others may need the seat, so he got     10    idea of making a message on his phone screen.

2 . It’s well-known by all the people to greet friends with a smile and a wave.     1     However, what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone tend to believe the look on your face or the way you behave?

Recently, scientists have dealt with these questions. They found that when a person is staring at your face, he might not believe what he sees if your body doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows.     2     Previous study had showed that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words spoken. For example, most people are more likely not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, "I’m so excited."

When talking about emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies that showed anger or fear,     3    

An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A frightened face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth,     4     A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to fight back.

These results told the researchers that mixed messages can confuse people. Even when people

pay attention to the face, body language surely influences the emotion they read.

    5     And if you want to be understood it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.

A．Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.

B．So, your body language is important for telling people your feelings.

C．Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that puzzles people,

D．An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.

E．Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.

F．They also showed pictures where angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.

G．When doing this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you are happy to see them.

China Daily Online—Jin Hanmiao, a pupil from Yiwu, Zhejiang, China, received a reply letter from Buckingham Palace     1     (recent) after writing to introduce the China—Britain express railway service.

5 . As a rule, people want to belong to a popular group. A “sense of belong” is a basic social need, and one may feel more pride and security by being part of the popular group.     1    For example, teenagers tend to purchase expensive sneakers of cloths just because their friends buy those things. This is a typical example of “the bandwagon effect(从众效应).”

    2    A bandwagon was a vehicle pulled by horses or oxen. It was used to carry a political candidate of the crowd at a parade(游行). There was an expection that people would easily remember and eventually vote for the candidate riding on the bandwagon. But the result surprised everyone.     3    So the popularity of a candidate could be judged by the number of people who jumped on his wagon. Besides that, there was another interesting aspect to his odd phenomenon.    4    They must have felt better following the choice of the majority at the parade. Over time, the term “bandwagon” has become an expression to describe this tendency.

    5    For example, you may be familiar with words like this: “All teens are in love with this new MP3 player. Magic Eko! Now it’s your turn to find out why!” People are led to believe that they don’t belong to a popular unless they buy Magic Eko. Clearly the bandwagon effect is an important commercial way to encourage customers to buy new products.

A．The term originated in America more than a hundred years ago.

B．The bandwagon effect occurs when people believe in something.

C．The crowd would prefer to join the wagon loaded with more people.

D．People sometimes copy the way others behave in order to enjoy such feelings.

E．Today, the bandwagon effect is most commonly seen in the advertising industry.

F．It happened that many people would actually “jump” onto their favorite candidate’s bandwagon.

G．The increasing popularity of a group encourage more people to “get on the bandwagon” too.

6 . However objective we believe ourselves to be, most of us do not judge a product only on the basis of its advantages, we don’t only _________its quality, value or style before making a decision _________, we are easily influenced by the people around us.

There is nothing_________with this. It is probably a smarter way to make decisions than relying on only our own _________. But it does make life _________for companies. They have long understood that groups of friends and relatives _________ to buy the same products, but understanding the _________ has been tricky. Is it because they are so similar with _________ to how much money they _________ and what television ads they watch that they ____________ arrive at the same decision? Or do they ____________one anther, perhaps out of envy or perhaps because they have____________information about the products?

Research in Finland recently found good ____________that neighbours have a big influence on buying ____________. When one of a person’s ten nearest neighbours bought a car, the ____________that that person would buy a car of the ____________ brand during the next week and a half rose by 86 percent. The researchers argued that it was not just a matter of envy ____________cars seemed to attract neighbours even more. This ____________that people were not trying to keep up with their neighbours, they were eager to ____________them. Since second-hand cars are less reliable, people are more likely to consider others’____________before buying.

10 . The other evening we had a knock at the door. It was a________neighbor who introduced himself and his boys to us. He also invited us to a block party as a way to know the people in the_________as well as celebrate the first anniversary of his two________sons coming to live with him.

We’ve lived here for almost six years and no one has ever come to ________themselves. I suppose we should have________it on to introduce ourselves to people moving in, but we haven’t.

We have many local friends but I have to________that I haven’t usually been the one to develop the________in my own neighborhood.

This_________reminded me of one of my favorite quotes, “When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was_________to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to _________my town. I couldn’t change the town and as a(n)_________man, I tried to change my_________.

For those of us who want to make a(n)_________in the world, it’s important we remember what Bucky Fuller said, “Think globally, but act_________.” For me, I’m going to make it point to meet more of my neighbors-staring now.
