There is an effect that not only have we all witnessed, but have26. Haven"t we all been on an elevator and noticed that just about everyone stops talking when they get on? Why do we do that? You can be having a 27 pleasant conversation with someone, and as soon as you get on an elevator, you just feel like you"d better shut up.
Then, as soon as the doors open, everyone28conversation. Primatologists, or people who study primate (灵长类动物) behavior, have a term for this. It"s called the "elevator effect," though it doesn"t 29 only on elevators. It happens whenever a group of primates, like humans, is 30 a situation where escape is 31 impossible. It"s thought to be a kind of safety32: as long as nobody talks, nobody is going to risk getting in a fight when there"s no way to spread out. The elevator effect keeps a lid on potential problems before they start.
Even though they rarely if ever ride elevators, chimpanzees demonstrate the elevator effect as well. When chimps are temporarily crowded together into small areas, they will 33 their vocal communication, that is, nobody speaks, and avoid eye 34. The amount of scratching the chimps do, however, goes up. Since scratching is a sign of stress in chimps, we can imagine what they are feeling. It"s just like what we feel in a crowded elevator——everybody carefully35 the lighted numbers and no one saying a thing.

根据下列文章,请回答 36~40 题。
Mr. Mike Smith:
It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We' re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week, that' s all. It' s a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.
Mr. Tom Brown:
It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up ,so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers,all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that' s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.
Mr. Bob Davis:
Everybody will be hurt by this strike,including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn' t be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all?
Mrs. Baker:
My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That' s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don' t like their jobs, nobody' s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they' d keep their mouths shut then.
Miss Slater:
Let' s face it. It' s neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can' t do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
