There are a lot of things that happen to me in China but would certainly never happen in the US. One of those things is being called “strong”．

The first time was last December. I was walking across the high school campus in Guangzhou where I taught when a student in a gray scarf waved hello. I smiled and waved back, but then she stopped and called my name. “You're so strong！” She smiled and pointed at what appeared to be my arm.

I looked down at my arms. Let's get one thing clear: I'm a very skinny guy. Once, while rehearsing for a high school talent show, I was told by the teacher in charge that I couldn't participate in the men's shirtless dance routine because my visible rig cage(胸腔) would frighten the audience.

“I'm so what？” “You're so strong！” she repeated. “Um, thanks！” I didn't know what else to say, so we both waved goodbye.

The next morning I stepped into my oral English classroom only to be greeted instantly by a unanimous(异口同声的) “Waaa！” of shock and admiration. “What？” I asked. “You're so strong！” shouted a boy from the back of the class.

“Okay, will someone tell me what that means？” I was curious as to the real reason for such praise. So I turned to the monitor, gesturing for him to speak.

“We just mean, you look very strong today，” he offered earnestly.

“What？！ You mean like this？” I curled my arm like a body­builder.

“No! But it's so cold, and you're only wearing a short­sleeve shirt.”

Oh, I got it. My “strength” had less to do with my muscle and more to do with my apparent ignorance of the cold weather.

1.From the passage we can learn that the author is________.

When an emergency situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses． This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect．

The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect, which is named after Catherine “Kitty" Genovese, a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13, 1964． Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work． As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed （刺） by a man later identified as Winston Moseley． Despite Genovese's repeated cries for help, none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help． The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police．

Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans． As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments．

There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect． First, the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility． Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present． The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways． When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate．

Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is ambiguous． In the case of Kitty Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a "lovers' quarrel", and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered．

1.The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect because ________ a woman surnamed Genovese．

2.Genovese was murdered ________．

3. Which can NOT have been a possible reason for the neighbors NOT offering Genovese help?

4. Before deciding to offer help, observers may ________, according to the psychologists．

5.The article seems to suggest that, if there had been ________observers, Genovese might not have been murdered．
