【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ticipants were told to watch TV where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked. The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too. The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.” Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have mon ground and can trust the other person.

I39。d been out of high school for four years, but my high school headmaster, Mr. Gardner, invited me to a Valentine39。s Day dance party at school. The thought of seeing my former teachers was exciting. So I agreed. When Friday came, I cleaned up, dressed up and drove to the high school gym. I chatted with my teachers and approached Mr. Gardner to thank him before leaving. Just then, the band started playing and a young girl stood up to sing. One look at and I was crazy—I had never seen such a beautiful girl! I asked Mr. Gardner who she was, and he answered, “That39。s Marilyn Riley, Cut Riley39。s daughter.” I was shocked to say the least. They lived just around the corner from me. I walked across the gym floor to introduce myself, “Hi, I39。m Jack Joseph.” “I know who you are,” was her nottoofriendly response. “Would you like to dance?” I asked. “No! I39。m working,” she shot back. “Can I call you next week for a movie date?” I asked. “No,” was her response. For the next month I phoned, trying to set up a date. She always had the same answer: No. then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice, I saw Marilyn, walking with no umbrella, no raincoat, no hat. I pulled alongside her and asked if she needed a ride, half expecting her to say no. instead, she stepped over the roadside and sat down on the seat next to me. It was only a few blocks to her house, but after pulling into her driveway we talked for 45minutes. It was magic from then on.（1）Why did Jack decide to attend the party?
