21、What inspires people to act selflessly, help others, and make personal sacrifices? Each quarter, this column features one piece of scholarly research that provides insight into what motivates people to engage in what psychologists call “pro-social behavior”.
This quarter we focus on how recognitions of “group membership” can influence whether others decide to help us in emergency situations. A 2005 British study reported in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin shows that bystanders are more likely to help strangers in distress when they recognize such strangers as belonging to a common group. However, what counts as group membership is not fixed. When people are encouraged to see greater commonalities with strangers, they will extend help to those whom they may have otherwise considered part of the “out group.”
Two studies conducted between fans of two English football teams, Manchester United and Liverpool. In the first study, Manchester United fans were required to fill out questionnaires about their interest in the team and the degree to which they identified as fans and then invited to walk across campus to see a video about football teams. Along the way, an accident was staged in which a runner slipped and fell, groaning in pain. Hidden observers watched the incident, and those taking part in the study were asked about it when they reached the projection room. Participants, all of whom had a strong identification as Manchester fans, were more likely to ask the runner if he needed help when he was wearing a Manchester United shirt than when he was wearing a Liverpool shirt or an ordinary unbranded shirt.
In the second study, Manchester United fans were again required, but when they arrived they were told that they were participating in a study about football fans in general (not Manchester United fans, specifically). They were also told that the study aimed to focus on the positive aspects of fan-hood as opposed to the negative incidents and stories that usually get attention. The study questionnaires asked them about their broader interest in the game and what they shared with other fans. They then were instructed to cross campus to head to the projection room, and along the way witnessed the same staged incident described in the first study. In this case, participants were as likely to help a victim in a Manchester United shirt as they were to help someone in a Liverpool shirt. And they were more likely to help those wearing team shirts than those who were not.
When people expand their notion of the “in-group” they are more likely to reach out to those in the “other camp.”
The results indicate that when people are encouraged to see social category boundaries at a more inclusive level—all football fans, versus fans of one team — they will extend help to more individuals. Even in a country in which bitter inter-group rivalry(对抗) exists between fans of one football team and another, when people expand their notion of the “in-group” they are more likely to reach out to those in the “other camp”.
One noteworthy strength of this research is that it offers an analysis of actual helping behavior rather than “beliefs about” or “intentions” to act. Evidence of dramatic shifts in such behavior across deeply entrenched antagonisms(根深蒂固的敌对情绪) in response to simple changes in levels of categorization is striking.
Indeed, the studies bring up questions regarding how we may insert more pro-social behavior not only in emergency situations, but in all circumstances. How may we promote a greater feeling of inclusiveness among members of society at wider levels such that boundaries become meaningless, and empathetic concern leads to more consistent positive action? Clearly this research offers inspiration for new approaches to camaraderie building across groups, communities, states, and even nations.

22、Sometimes when we are in our darkest hour, something completely unexpected happens that can give us a little bit of hope and comfort.
Jessica was a healthy woman. One day, she woke up and something was not right. After she was sent to the hospital, her heart rate slowed by nearly 50 percent. It took nine days for doctors to zero in on what was causing her problem.
After several weeks, Jessica was able to move her lips. Staff noticed this and introduced Jessica to Consuelo Gonzalez, a professional lip reader. Consuelo can understand what people are saying by the shape their lips make. She can also understand how annoying it is to not be able to communicate because she has been completely deaf since the age of 8.
For a few hours each week, Jessica could have long conversations with Consuelo, diving into the ocean of words she dearly missed. Through Consuelo, Jessica asked the doctors and nurses questions she had long wanted answers to. She also talked to Consuelo about the vivid dreams she was mixing up with reality.
In fact, there are other ways for Consuelo to earn a living by reading lips, but she says helping patients separate horrible dreams from reality is the most rewarding way she can use her unique skill. “What is really wonderful is being able to use this skill to create healing and to create communication between human beings. That’s what feels good. That’s what’s the best: Love.”
After four and a half months in the hospital, Jessica finally recovered. Consuelo was there, holding Jessica’s hands. Jessica eventually went back to work as a math professor. After her experience she wrote a new living will. One thing she added is that if she ever becomes incapacitated like this again, she is never to be left alone.

23、Stress under the novel coronavirus
The first national survey of the psychological impact of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒) collected data between Jan 31 and Feb 10. It found that 35 percent of people suffer psychological stress, and the level of the stress was to do with various factors.
According to the research, the stress level was associated with sex, age and education. Female showed higher psychological stress than male. People aged between 18 and 30 showed the highest level of stress. They can get much information from social media, which can easily cause stress. The elderly have also been psychologically impacted, since this widespread disease is most likely to kill older patients. Furthermore, people with higher education tended to have more stress for their knowledge of health.
Further, people may have higher stress due to their jobs. It is evident that migrant workers (外来务工人员) have the highest level of stress among all workers because they worry about the virus carried in public transports when returning to their jobs, about work delays and loss of income as they stop working, and about job opportunities that may dry up before the cities they work in return to full operations.
In addition, stress levels have something to do with region for its local medical resources, efficiency of public health system, prevention and control measures. For example, Shanghai is at high risk because of the large population of migrant workers, but the stress level is not in the high level. This may be because Shanghai has one of the best public health systems in China, according to the research.
Ultimately, the prevention and control measures taken by the Chinese government have made people’s stress decrease. Still, based on the research, psychologists suggested more attention be paid to young adults and migrant workers who have higher stress.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.Stress level was related to sex, age and education.
B.Young adults showed the highest level of stress.
C.Old people showed high level of stress.
D.Educated people tended to have more stress.
【2】According to the survey, which kind of people may suffer higher stress?
A.Well-educated people. B.Migrant workers.
C.The elderly. D.All above.
【3】According to the research, why isn't Shanghai in the high level of stress?
A.Shanghai is a beautiful place with fresh air.
B.Shanghai has large population of migrant workers.
C.Shanghai has much more healthy persons than other cities.
D.Shanghai enjoys one of the best public health systems in China.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.A large percentage of people suffered psychological stress.
B.Chinese government's control measures lowered people's stress.
C.Shanghai has the largest population of migrant workers.
D.Male tended to have more stress.
24、Photographer Lindsey Villatoro gave one family the most beautiful gift. She organized a fake wedding ceremony so that a terminally (晚期地，不治地) ill father could walk his 11-year-old daughter down the aisle (红毯)．
Jim Zetz, 62 was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and knew that he wouldn’t be around for all the big moments in his daughter Josie’s life. So when Villatoro heard about the family’s heartbreaking story, she decided to do something special for them.
“One day you’ll wake up and realize you’re given the opportunity to change someone’s life for the better,” Villatoro wrote in the description of the wedding video. “You get an idea, don’t think twice and run with it. It was an honor doing this for them.”

“Your dad may not live to see you get married，but he is here to walk you down the aisle today,” Gary Galbraith, the pastor (牧师), said in the ceremony. “The daddy and daughter relationship is one of the most special relationships in life.”
At the ceremony, Zetz placed a ring on Josie’s finger as the pastor called them “daddy and daughter”. Josie’s mini-wedding coincided (同时发生) with her 11th birthday. Her mother said, “I knew it would be her last birthday with her dad. If I were Josie, this would be the best gift anyone could give.”
“It was a beautiful ceremony,” the neighbor Jennifer Stout said, “It’s sad to think of someone so young losing her dad but at least she will have a memory of this event.”
