1.Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are f our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Everyone hates to wait in lines. We get that exhausting feeling t hat our precious life is _50___ away while we’re doing somethin g so meaningless. But it’s not always the length of the wait we fi nd so unbearable. Our behavior when waiting is only partly defi ned by the length of the wait. Often the psychology of queuing i s more important than the statistics of the wait itself. One appar ent aspect of queuing psychology is that we get bored when we wait in line. This issue is __51___ in many ways, from magazin es in hospital waiting rooms to the __52___ in elevators so that we can __53__ our appearance. We really hate it when we expe ct a short wait and then get a long one. But studies show that w e are much more ___54__ when we are given an idea of how lo ng we’ll be waiting. Walt Disney Co knows this __55___ than an yone else. It posts estimated waiting times for attractions in its t
so that visitors get to the front of the queue more quickly than th ey expect. It keeps them happy.
But perhaps the biggest influence on our feelings about waiting in a line has to do with our understanding of fairness. When it c omes to queues, the universally acknowledged standard is first come, first _57____. Any deviation（偏
差） from this _58___ is regarded as unfair and can lead to viol ent queue intense anger. A simple __59___ on Baidu news with the keyword
s “cutting in line” and “fight” throws up dozens of headlines in th e past year. Queue anger is not __60___ in Western countries e ither.
Sometimes, however, we are willing to make exception. In hosp itals, __61___ is given to those with a more critical condition---we can also understand that. But in most situations, we deman d fairness. You’ve probably experienced mild queue anger your self in fast food restaurants, watching people in the other line m ove ahead of you, _62_ yourself for having chosen the “wrong” l ine.
In order to solve this problem, the winding line was invented. Sl ate magazine’s website explains:
“The winding line groups all customers into one big snaking que
the queue, you are directed to the next __63__ server, or teller, or customs official, which offers important comfort: you _64__ n ever have to see someone arrive after you and get served befor e you.”
In life, waiting is inevitable. But a better understanding of the ps ychology of waiting can help make it a bit more bearable. When all else fails, bring a book or a smart-phone will also do.
