27、and more people try online shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this.“They think, I don t need to drive, and the businesneed to build a sto

28、re, so there will be less pollution, says Nuria P sasentiste nvironmen“ But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful.

Butpaper use increased by 33 percent between 1986 and 1997.“Online shopping could have similenegative effects, says Nevil Cohen, a professor of envirosmencs!Part of the problem is what people are buying these days.

31、nother problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies often have to send them by air.

36、pollution to the environment29. What is probably the best title of the passage? A. A Good Deal to Make?B. A Cleaner Way to Shop?C. A New Business to Start?D. A Different Lifestyle to Keep?DYou expect your friends to see you in a positive manner, but they also are observers of the personalities that

37、could cause you an early death, said Joshua Jackson, an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences.Published in the journal Psychological Science the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75 years and that close friends are usually bett

38、er than you at recognizing these traits Our study shows that people are able to observe and evalu4闾价） a friend s personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road, Jsuggests that people are able to see important characteristics related to health even when their friends were, for

39、the most part, healthy and many years frondeath. ”While other studies have shown that a person vsew of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks, there has been little research on whether a close friend s personality evaluation might also predict the chances of a long life.

40、To explore this question, Jackson and colleagues analyzed da墩据）from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid-20s. The study included wide-ranging data on participant （参与者） personalities, both self-reported and as reported by close friends.Using info

41、rmation from follow-up studies and searches of death certificates（证 书），Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants. Pe e同龄人） evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self-evaluations of personality.“There are two

42、possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over sefevaluations, ” Jackson said. “ First, friends may see something that youtheysmay have someinsight that you do not. Second, because people have several friends, we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more tr

43、ustworthy evaluation of personality. With self-reports, people may miss certain sides of themselves and we are not able to counterac柢抗）that because there is only one you, only one self-report. ”The study also shows some gender differences in self-evaluation: Men sself-evaluations of personality were

44、 somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans（寿命）,whereas the self-reports of women had little predictive value.“Thisis one of the longest studies in psychology, Jackson said. Itshows how important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health, and that information from friends

51、el with a lady who had very good reviews. I paid for my share of the petrol through the website and planned to meet her in the town center.It may seem quite dangerous to travel with strangers but there are some safety actions.
