12、person on the telephone and shouting at the younger that she would “snap（折断）his leg” if he moved again. As I waited for the traffic light to change, the child began to complain and struggle to free himself from the womans grasp. She dropped the phone, seized（抓住）the neck of his tiny. T-shirt and gave

26、et rid of germs. It may wash away the inner confusion you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices, according to a new study. The study builds on past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect”.It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something

27、when he imagined lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience（良心）by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands. A few years ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people who hadnt clean

28、ed.This finding fascinated W. S. Lee, a researcher. “Anything from the past, any kind of negative emotional experiences, might be washed away,” says Lee.He decided to test hand washings effect on one kind of bad feeling: the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices

29、, because picking one choice makes us feel that weve lose the other. People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating（夸大）the positive aspects of their choice.He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then he offered students one CD as a gift. Some students then use liquid soap

30、. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed（嗅）it. “Actually, you do not need water and soap,” says Lee.Later, the students again had to rank all the music. People who didnt wash their hands had the normal response they scored their take-home CD higher, suggesting that they now saw it as even more at

31、tractive than before. But this wasnt true for the hand washers. They ranked the music about the same. “they feel no need at all to justify the choice,” say Lee.But the implications of it just arent clear. Schwarz says its too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough ch

32、oice.

37、te Presidents Day, just seven days before George Washingtons birthday. Everyone agrees that day is a holiday, but is it just to celebrate George Washingtons Birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Some government offices call it Presidents Day. Others say the holiday is officially Washingtons Birthday

38、. Confused yet?George Washington was elected the countrys first President on April 30, 1789. Soon after, Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday. Presidential historians say the actual date of George Washingtons birth is February 11, 1732. But a change in the calendar system 20 years later

39、 shifted all dates，making Washingtons birthday February 22, which is now well accepted. In 1879, Congress made Washingtons birthday an official federal holiday. It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individuals birthday. In 1968, Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act, which moved the ho

40、liday to the third Monday in February. The new law did not change the holidays name. It was still called Washingtons Birthday, even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents Day to include Abraham Lincoln, whose actual birthday is February 12.Many people argue that the holiday should celebr

41、ate all past Presidents. They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves. Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington, the countrys first President. They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future g

42、enerations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country.Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term George Washingtons Birthday.but none of those laws have been passed.

The longest-lasting flash was observed in southe

47、rn France, where a single flash in 2012 lasted for 7.74 seconds.

If it lasts longer, its safe to stay outside.Studying lightning is important because it can
