3、ts took a test that surveyed their ability to pay attention. In the experiment，participants saw cards with different-colored words on them. They had to say the color of the word they saw，not the word itself. The people wearing the white lab coats said the correct color of the word more often.Galinsk

4、y and Adams think that the white coats made the participants feel more confident and careful. The researchers also believe that other kinds of symbolic clothes can influence the behavior of the people wearing them.

5、 of power or confidence. And in workplaces that have a dress code，symbolic clothes may also affect how well employees do their jobs.Fashion blogger Jessica Quirk believes that our clothes greatly affect how we feel about ourselves.

There are two ways of driving in t

11、he world: if the drivers seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called left-hand driving, as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called right-hand driving, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the worlds population drives on the right of the ro

12、ad, while the rest is used to driving on the left.Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left of the road.

13、 left. Obviously, its safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense(行得通)for the horse to be ridden on the left.A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon(拿破仑)conquered(攻占)nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throu

14、ghout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies(前英国殖民地)in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception(例外)is Egypt, as that country

15、 was defeated(打败)by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2009, Samoa became the third country ever to

16、 change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import(进口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right-hand driving to avoid unnecess

17、ary troubles.4Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?A B C D5Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ASweden changed to drive on the right in 1974.BPeople drive on the left side of the road in Egypt.CPeople have known the exact reasons for driving on the left.DNapoleon he

19、wo ways of driving.There is an old story about a king and his daughter. The king asked his daughter how much she loved him. She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt.
