1.Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,

C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Everyone hates to wait in lines. We get that exhausting feeling that our precious life is _50___ away while we’re doing something so meaningless. But it’s not always the length of the wait we find so unbearable. Our behavior when waiting is only partly defined by the length of the wait. Often the psychology of queuing is more important than the statistics of the wait itself. One apparent aspect of queuing psychology is that we get bored when we wait in line. This issue is __51___ in many ways, from magazines in hospital waiting rooms to the __52___ in elevators so that we can __53__ our appearance. We really hate it when we expect a short wait and then get a long one. But studies show that we are much more ___54__ when we are given an idea of how long we’ll be waiting. Walt Disney Co knows this __55___ than anyone else. It posts estimated waiting times for attractions in its theme parks. But according to Larson, these times are __56___ so that visitors get to the front of the queue more quickly than they expect. It keeps them happy.

But perhaps the biggest influence on our feelings about waiting in a line has to do with our understanding of fairness. When it comes to queues, the universally acknowledged standard is first come, first _57____. Any deviation（偏差） from this _58___ is regarded as unfair and can lead to violent queue intense anger. A simple __59___ on Baidu news with the keywords “cutting in line” and “fight” throws up dozens of headlines in the past year. Queue anger is not __60___ in Western countries either.

Sometimes, however, we are willing to make exception. In hospitals, __61___ is given to those with a more critical condition---we can also understand that. But in most situations, we demand fairness. You’ve probably experienced mild queue anger yourself in fast food restaurants, watching people in the other line move ahead of you, _62_ yourself for having chosen the “wrong” line.

In order to solve this problem, the winding line was invented. Slate magazine’s website explains:

“The winding line groups all customers into one big snaking queue, separated by ropes or

第 1 页 共 10 页

barriers. When you reach the head of the queue, you are directed to the next __63__ server, or teller, or customs official, which offers important comfort: you _64__ never have to see someone arrive after you and get served before you.”

In life, waiting is inevitable. But a better understanding of the psychology of waiting can help make it a bit more bearable. When all else fails, bring a book or a smart-phone will also do. 50.
