As we walked, he described a world of horses instead of cars, letters instead of telephones and candles instead of electric lights. As he pointed out all the hardships, I asked him,”Grandpa, what was the hardest thing you ever had to do in your life?”Grandpa stopped walking and with tears in his eyes he began to speak."Grandma got very sick after your aunt Mary was born. This was when your momand your uncle were still little children. Since there was no one to take care of them, I had to send them to an orphanage(孤儿院) so that I could take two or three jobs until your grandma got well. Every week I went to see them but the orphanage director wouldn’t let me talk to them or hold them. I could only watch my children play from behind a one-way mirror.I had never seen my grandpa cry before. For fifteen years, that special walk with Grandpa remained our secret.One day, when I asked my mom to bring Grandpa back home, she replied “Why? He never cared about what happened to us!”"Mom, Grandpa told me that every week he went to see the three of you. He used to watch you play from behind the one-way mirror. " I saw my mom's eyes widen.

It gave me a power rare among my classmates: the ability to get around the city without the assistance of an adult.By the time I turned sixteen, a new form of transportation appeared. Like most young Americans, I believed the advertisement that a car was a must for an adult. Forthe next ten years- except for a short time in college when I found myself unable to afford a personal vehicle---I left the bus behind.But then I accepted a job at a software company fifteen miles away from my home. During my commutes(上下班路程), I became more aware of the negative （负面的）impact of car culture: pollution and isolation (孤独). I began to question my right to subject the earth and my beloved city to the impact of my choices. So I returned to my roots and began to ride the bus to work. Eventually, I was using my car so rarely that I decided to try living without one. I sold it in March 2003 and have used the bus as my primary transportation ever since.Riding the bus isn’t al ways fun. I don' t like riding on rainy days when the floor is slippery. I don't like standing when the bus is crowded. In spite of theseoccasional inconveniences, I will never go back to driving. I believe in feeling the sun on my skin, in breathing fresh air and moving my body. I believe in protecting our remaining farmland and forests. I believe that human life is sacred(神圣的), that the worlds resources should be shared, and that every choice matters. I believe that changes are possible if all of us ride.28.

The more people that adopt a particular trend, the more likely that other people will also join the bandwagon.The bandwagon effect is partly because the cognitive biases(认知偏好). Cognitivebiases are often designed to help people think and reason quickly, but they often cause wrong judgments and mistakes.So, why does the bandwagon effect occur? People are highly influenced by the pressure and standards from groups. When it seems like most people in thegroup are doing a certain thing, not doing that thing becomes increasingly difficult. The bandwagon is Essentially a type of groupthink. As more peopleadopt a particular trend, it becomes more likely that other people will also “jumpon the bandwagon",When it seems that everyone is doing something. There is great pressure to conform, which is perhaps why the bandwagon behaviors tend to form so easily.Fear of being excluded (排除) also plays a role in the bandwagon effect.An individual generally does not want to be the unusual one, so going along with what the rest of the group is doing is a way to ensure inclusion and social acceptance from the group.The effect of these bandwagon trends is often relatively harmless, such as on fashion or pop music. Sometimes they can be far more dangerous. When certain ideas begin to form, such as particular attitudes toward health issues, bandwagon beliefs can have serious and damaging consequences.32. Which of the following cases belongs to the bandwagon effect?A. A boy learns smoking from his father.B. A girl buys a new dress she likes very much.C .A girl advises her best friend to buy a new dress.D. A boy smokes because his companions all smoke.33.
