29、Panic Buying

Shoppers around the world are crazy buying because of fears over the coronavirus(新型冠状病毒), which caused a critical plague in China and even other countries at the beginning of 2020. People in countries such as England, Japan, Singapore and Australia have been emptying supermarket shelves of toilet paper, face masks, hand wash products and dried and canned food. Photos and videos of shoppers in Australia quarreling over the last pack of toilet roll in a supermarket have spread across social media swiftly.

However, governments have advised their citizens that there is no need to “panic buy”. They added that panic buying would only reduce the supply of products needed by patients and medical staff, which could exacerbate the problems the COVID-19 virus is causing. Singapore's prime minister comforted Singaporeans that: “We have enough supplies. There's no need to stock up.” A week after the panic buying fever, things have calmed down and shoppers have gone back to purchasing items in normal quantities.

Psychologists say panic buying is an “unwise” behaviour that is part of a condition called FOMO - the fear of missing out. Dr. Katharina Wittgens said a herd mentality(从众心理) sets in during disasters that causes people to copy the actions of others. People watch the news of items being bought in quantity and immediately rush out to the stores to do the same. She said people were taking on too much the risks of dying from the coronavirus. She said: “Far more people die in car accidents or household accidents per year but we don't panic about these things in the morning before we go to work.”

【1】What made shoppers in different countries crazy buying?

A．The approach of 2020 New Year’s Day.

B．The shortage of resources and supplies in their nations.

C．Their concern about the virus.

D．The discount from supermarkets.

【2】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．solve

B．release

C．worsen

D．quicken

【3】What is the reason for this behavior according to expert?

A．People tend to follow others’ actions in the period of disaster.

B．People are wiser in making decisions.

C．People think no one needs the supplies.

D．People do not believe what others said.

【4】What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

A．People should not panic over the virus.

B．More people die from car accidents.

C．People buy little when they go to the stores.

D．We should panic about the situation.

A Bad Idea

Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.

The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".

The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.

It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.

The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
