If you find yourself waiting in a long queue at an airport or bus terminus this holiday, will you try to analyze what it is about queuing that makes you angry? Or wi
23、ll you just get angry with the nearest official?Professor Richard Larson, an electrical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, hates queuing but rather than tear his hair out, he decided to study the subject. His first finding, which backs up earlier work at the US National Science F
24、oundation, was that the degree of annoyance was not directly related to the time. He cites an experiment at Houston airport where passengers had to walk for one minute from the plane to the baggage reclaim and then wait a further seven minutes to collect their luggage. Complaints were frequent, espe
25、cially from those who had spent seven minutes watching passengers with just hand baggage get out immediately.The airport authorities decided to lengthen the walk from the aircraft, so that instead of a one minute fast walk, the passengers spent six minutes walking. When they finally arrived at the b
26、aggage reclaim, the delay was then only two minutes. The extra walk extended the delay by five minutes for those carrying only hand baggage, but passenger complaints dropped almost to zero.The reason? Larson suggests that it all has to do with what he calls“ social justice “. If people see others ta
27、king a short cut, they will find the wait unbearable. So in the case of the airport, it was preferable to delay everyone.Another aspect Larson studied was the observation that people get more fed up if they are not told what is going on. Passengers told that there will be a half-hour delay are less
28、unhappy than those left waiting even twenty minutes without an explanation.But even knowing how long we have to wait isn t the whole answer. We must also believe that everything is being done to minimize our delay. Larson cites the example of two neighboring American bands. One was highly computeriz
29、ed and served a customer, on average, every 30 seconds. The other band was less automated and took twice as long. But because the tellers at the second band looking extremely busy, customers believed the service was faster and many transferred their accounts to the slower bank. Ultimately, the latte
30、r had to introduce time-wasting ways of appearing more dynamic.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the passage, “How to jump queue fury“ means _.

According to Larson s study, the long waiting was the cause of annoyance. C. When all the travelers had to wait for 2 minutes, there were a lot of complaints. D. When t

Type As tended to be engaged in a perpetual attempt to achieve as much as possible in the least time even though their goals were
36、often unrealistic. Persons With these traits tend to have a significantly high rate of heart problems, and the standard risk factors of smoking and high blood pressure are significantly higher in Type As.The most extensive attempt to modify Type A behavioral patterns has been carded out in the San F
37、rancisco Bay area, where 600 men who have suffered heart attacks are participating in an ongoing study. The treatment consists of a variety of approaches which are intended to modify both the perception of stress and the reaction to stress.Subjects have been taught to observe their own behavior to c
38、hange and manage their thinking a bout once-stressful occurrences, making them neutral by interpreting them in ways that do not evoke stress. Thus instead of fuming about the time they are wasting in a traffic jam, Type As ought to think about the opportunity to think over their days activities. The
39、y also have been told to adopt new, relaxing hobbies that are entirely separate from their careers, and they are learning procedures that will al low them to modify their physiological reactions through such techniques as deep muscle relaxation and learning to slow down physical activity.Still, ther
40、e is no definitive evidence to date showing that reductions in Type A characteristics result invariably in a decrease in heart disease risk. Moreover, it is unclear just which aspect of Type A behavior is the crucial one, or whether it is a complex of several behaviors, all part of the Type A pat te
41、rn ,that is associated with the increased risk. In other words ,we still do not know specifically what it is about Type A behaviors that leads to heart problems, and until we do, programs that attempt to de crease the risk must use relatively expensive and time-consuming procedures, modifying essent
42、ially all manifestations of the Type A pattern. Moreover, programs which emphasize the importance of work and achievement. For these reasons, treatment programs that are designed to alter Type A behaviors may be facing an uphill battle.Despite the difficulty in implementing treatment programs to red
43、uce the Type A behavior pattern, such attempts illustrate quite clearly the role that social psychologists can play in the treatment of health problems.（分数：4.00）(1).What is the attitude of the author towards the Type A behavior?

46、culties? A. Because the treatment programs are too expensive. B. Because the treatment programs consume too much time. C. Because it is unclear which aspect of the behavior of Type A leads to heart problems. D. Because the subjects are unwilling to receive this kind of treatment.（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(5).What does this text try to show? A. How to prevent people from heart disease. B.
