Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people keep on walking."There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed," says a psychologist, "In order to take action, you have to work against them." Here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping.Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most able person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.What if he doesn't really need my help? The fear of embarrassment（难堪） is powerful; no one wants to risk（冒险） looking foolish in front of others.No one else looks concerned. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public."If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate（评估） the situation instead of walking on," says the psychologist. "Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, 'It looks like we should do something.' Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you."61. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk? A. They will laugh at him.B.

The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers .A. to be more able B. to give others a handC. to explain their inaction D. to evaluate the situationBI am afraid of heights but two summers ago I climbed to a high place. Most of our high school had come along on a day trip to a beautiful beach village in Peru. After eating our lunches, many of us wanted to make the climb to an area around the village.Do I turn back? “Yes!” Will I regret(后悔) it later? I really want to get to the top, but At last, I decided at least have a try.My friend Tom was in front of me. Then, suddenly, he slipped(滑倒) and was about 10 feet back! My heart was beating faster until he stopped himself. Knowing that my friend Seth would be right behind me, I began the climb. I was soon past the first challenge safely, but not feeling much better about the rest of the climb. Looking down, I saw rocks everywhere. My breathing sped up, and my heart beat even faster, growing loud in my ears.My friends kept climbing. But they did not forget me. Someone was always behind me to help hold my feet when necessary, and someone else was always in front to offer a hand up. With friends helping me by words and actions, I slowly gained ground. Then we came to the worst part. The climb looked very close to vertical(垂直的). To me, the wise choice was to go back down. Melody encouraged me to go on and she made it safely first. I stopped, unsure of my footing. “You can do it, Jean! Im right here,” Melody called. She waited patiently, not asking me to hurry. I took a few deep breaths and kept climbing.
