(46) .He cites an experiment at Houston airport where passengers had to walk for oue minute from the plane to the baggage reclaim and then wait a further seven minutes to collect their luggage. Complaints were frequent, especially 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 (47) .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 taking a short cut, they will find the wait unbearable (48) . Another aspect Larson studied was the observation that people get more fed up if they are not told what is going on (49) . 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 banks. One was highly computerized and served a customer, on average, every 30 seconds. (50) But because the tellers at the second bank looked extremely busy, customers believed the service was faster and many transferred their accounts to the slower bank. Ultimately, the latter had to introduce time-wasting ways of appearing more dynamic. A) So in the case of the airport, it was preferable to delay everyone. B) The other bank was less automated and took twice as long. C) When they finally arrived at the baggage reclaim, the delay was then only two minutes. D) His first finding, which backs up earlier work at the US National Science Foundation, was that the degree of annoyance was not directly related to the time. E) It’s unbearable for the airport to delay everyone. F) Passengers told that there will be a half-hour delay are less unhappy than those left waiting even twenty minutes without an explanation.

阅读下面这篇短文,短文后列出7个句子,请根据短文的内容对每个句子做出判断。On British Newspapers Besides the daily newspapers, there are a number of Sunday newspapers in Britain. Many of them are connected with the "dailies", though not run by the same editor and his members. The Sunday papers are larger than the daily papers and usually contain more articles concerned with comment (评论) and general information rather than news. The national daily and Sunday papers have the largest circulation(发行) in the world. Of the Sunday papers, the Observer and the Sunday Times are the best known. It is a regrettable fact that the number of magazines of a literary or political nature has dropped down since the war. This has probably been caused by the ever-wider use of radio and television. The most successful magazines are those published for women. Their covers are designed to catch the eye, and they certainly succeed in doing so! They offer their readers articles on cookery (烹饪法), fashion, needlework, and many other matters of women interest. They also provide advice to those in love, and adventures with handsome heroes. Some women’s magazines also include serious articles of more general interest. The visitor who looks at the magazines displayed in a large bookstall (书摊) which may be found in an important railway station will notice that there is a wide variety of technical or semitechnical(半专业的) books and magazines. There are magazines for the motorist, the farmer, the gardener, the nurse, and many others. There are many local and regional newspapers. It is common in Britain for a news agent(报刊经售人) to deliver (投递) the morning papers to his customers for a small extra payment, this service is usually performed by boys and girls who want to earn some pocket-money. The most successful magazines in Britain are those published for women.
