13、re. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things

14、 that change 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、l entry 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、 to type 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 Juli

20、ana Schroeder，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 th

21、e quality 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 s

22、peech that 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

28、to a recent 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 appetite

29、s you really 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

30、was asked 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、 large amount 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. T

32、he results 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.
