You’re rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on  walking rather than stop and get involved.
“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping.
● Why should I be the one? I’m probably not the most competent（有能力的）person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.
● What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.
● No one else looks concerned- this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.
“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you don’t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it’s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, ‘It looks like we should do something.’ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.”
【小題1】Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?

A．I’m not the very person capable of setting the problem.
B．It looks like we should do something.
C．It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.
D．He doesn’t really need my help.
【小題2】According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?
A．They will call for help and then walk away.
B．They will stop and offer help.
C．They will turn away their eyes and go on walking.
D．They will laugh at him.
【小題3】We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble,        .
A．we should call the ambulance as soon as we can
B．we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow
C．we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone
D．we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility
【小題4】In order to offer others your timely help, you need to      .
A．a(chǎn)sk others for help and call the police
B．get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble
C．go directly to the police station
D．work against the first thoughts that prevent you offering help
【小題5】The main purpose of the text is to tell readers      .
A．to give others a hand
B．to be more competent
C．not to risk looking foolish
D．to stop and evaluate the situation

解析試題分析：本文描述了現(xiàn)在社會上經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的一種老人倒了，扶還是不扶?幫還是不幫？本文是對這種現(xiàn)象的討論。主要是勸人們要采取行動，來幫助別人。
【小題1】B 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章3,4,5段Why should I be the one? I’m probably not the most competent（有能力的）person in this crowd. 和No one else looks concerned- this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, 以及What if he doesn’t really need my help? 可知ACD三項都是人們的想法，只有B項不是。故B正確。
【小題2】C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段2,3行In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on  walking rather than stop and get involved.說明很多人在這種情況下都選擇視而不見，繼續(xù)向前走。故C項正確。
【小題3】B 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段前2行“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,”和最后三行‘It looks like we should do something.’ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.”可知我們應該做的事情是停下來分析一下具體的情況，看看我們是否能夠做什么。故B正確。
【小題4】D 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段內(nèi)容可知我們應該停下來幫助別人，而不是繼續(xù)向前，不理不睬，認為有別的一些更有能力的人來采取行動。故D項正確。
【小題5】A 主旨大意題。本文主要講述的就是我們在看到有人摔倒的時候，我們應該停下來，判斷影響形勢和情況，看看別人是否需要我們的幫助。然后再給出我們的幫助。故A正確。
