You probably think you know about London‘s problems. The people are unfriendly, it‘s way too expensive, and the food is terrible - so why do so many tourists flock (蜂拥) there?
London was named the world‘s most popular city between July and September 2013. It edged out other world-famous cities such as New York and Paris, welcoming 4.9 million visitors, according to the UK Office for National Statistics.
中·华资源%库ziyuanku.comAmazingly, this was an increase of almost 19.5 percent on 2012 - the year when the Olympics happened in summer.
So can London‘s success be explained? Well, maybe. As the English writer Samuel Johnson once said, ―when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life‖. London life is often crazy and expensive, but if you can think of something, you can probably do it there.
Anywhere in the city, you can often look around a great museum such as the British Museum, watch a concert at a historic venue (场所) like the Royal Albert Hall, or dance the night away in a cool nightclub such as Fabric.
And it‘s not just about culture – there are also world-famous sporting venues around the city. Many tourists like to watch soccer matches at stadiums such as Chelsea‘s Stamford Bridge, Arsenal‘s Emirates Stadium, or Tottenham‘s White Hart Lane. Tourists even came to watch British tennis player Andy Murray‘s famous victory at the Wimbledon tennis tournament (锦标赛) in 2013.
Yes, but what about the food? Well, even if you don‘t like British food – and if you‘ve never had real fish and chips, or a summer pudding, then perhaps you should wait until you‘ve tried them – there is plenty of great food from all over the world available in London‘s many restaurants.
London, like many of its buildings, has a long history, but also never lacks a vibrant pulse (充满活

In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d‘Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where
adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom‘s vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn‘t care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk.That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to

light a barrel(桶)of paint but couldn‘t really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn‘t turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in.Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?

At the time I didn‘t realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped(包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d‘Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.

More than 50 years ago, Kitty Genovese, a 28-year-old woman, was murdered outside her apartment in New York City. This could have been just one of the many murder cases that happen in the US. But something set this crime apart: some news reports claimed that neighbors and passers-by did nothing when witnessing her tragic death.
The public nature of her death forced the American public to examine its own apathy (冷漠). It also encouraged a series of studies into the causes of what became known as the ―bystander effect‖.
The bystander effect is a social phenomenon that occurs when individuals witness someone in trouble, but don‘t offer help. Even good people can find themselves frozen by shock, fear and uncertainty. But most of the time, they fail to help those in need due to the presence of other people.
According to the original report about the Kitty Genovese case, several bystanders thought other witnesses had already called the police or would soon do so. They reasoned, therefore, that they did not need to respond.
This is what psychologists called ―diffusion (漫射) of responsibility‖. When others are around, our personal sense of responsibility lessens. US psychologist Bibb Latane and John Darley used a series of experiments to determine that people are more likely to help out if they are alone. 70 percent of study participants would help if they were the only person on the scene, but that rate dropped dramatically, to 40 percent, if there was another witness. Participants were least reactive or likely to offer assistance if the other witness did not react or was ―passive‖ during the event. In that circumstance, only 7 percent offered help.
―The problem with the bystander effect is as simple as looking to others to solve a problem. The solution is just as easy and just the opposite‖, wrote Tyler Tervooren, founder of Riskology.co, a website aiming to help people ―master their psychology‖. The same idea applies to problems in your own life,
according to Tervooren. If you need help, you have to reach out to someone who can help you
and specifically ask for assistance.
29. The Kitty Genovese case was unusual because ________.
A. the victim was killed outside her own department B. its reports drew public attention to American apathy C. it improved the studies of the ―bystander effect‖
