44、ences on human behavior, social influences are the most widespread. the main influence on people is people. when we hear the words social influence, most of us think of deliberate attempts of someone to persuade us to change our actions or opinions. the tv ad comes to mind. but many of the most impo

45、rtant forms of social influence are unintentional, and some of the effects we humans have on one another occur as a result of the simple fact that we are in each others physical presence.in 1898 a psychologist named triplett made an interesting observation. in looking over speed records of bicycle r

46、acers, he noticed that better speed records were obtained when cyclists raced against each other than when they raced against the clock. this observation led triplett to perform the first controlled laboratory experiment ever conducted in social psychology. he instructed children to turn a wheel as

47、fast as possible for a certain period of time. sometimes two children worked at the same time in the same room, each with his own wheel; at other times, they worked alone. the results confirmed his theory: children worked faster in coaction, that is, when another child doing the same thing was prese

48、nt, than when they worked alone.soon after tripletts experiment on coaction, it was discovered that the mere presence of a passive audience rather than a coactor was enough to help performance. this was discovered accidentally in an experiment on muscular (肌肉的) effort and tiredness by meumann in 190

50、e that others will make. we learn as we grow up that others praise or criticize, reward or punish our performances, and this raises our drive level when we perform before others. thus, even the early studies of coaction found that if all elements（要素）of competition are removed, coaction effects are g

52、the passage, tripletts experiment of 1898 _.a. supported his idea of coaction effectb. challenged his idea of coaction effectc. showed children turned a wheel faster with audience aroundd. proved cyclists race harder against each other than against the clock65. according to the writer, which of the

53、following would be an example of coaction effect?a. a woman works harder when the boss is in the room than when she is alone.b. joe works more slowly when he is together with friends than when he is alone.c. players work harder when they exercise together than when they each exercise alone.d. bobs t

55、ty of success. education is in danger of becoming a branch of the entertainment industry. although education should indeed be entertaining where possible, it cannot always be fun. often, it needs the “hard yards”.some educationalists feel that if something causes worry it should be avoided at all costs. i would disagree. facing up to challenges helps develop children. avoiding challenges can severely limit their potential. tougher children are able to try and fail. the less tough may simply fail to try anything new.im not advocatin
