第一题：


reading: Groupthink
One process by which groups may make bad or irrational decisions is known as groupthink. Individual members
of a group attempt to conform their opinions to what they believe to be the group consensus even though the
result may be negative. These include the desire to be like, fear of losing a job, or even not wanting to be the one
employee delaying a decision that seems inevitable. These kinds of implicit pressures to conform lead group
members to ultimately make decisions that each by himself or herself, might normally not make.
listening:
Explain groupthink and its effects using the example of the computer company.


第二题：


reading: Social interaction
People deal with each other everyday. This interaction is at the heart of social life. The study of social interaction
is concerned with the influence people have over one another’s behavior. People take each other into account in
their daily behavior and in fact, the very presence of others can affect behavior. For example, one principle of
social interaction, audience effects, suggests that individuals’ work is affected by their knowledge that they are
visible to others, that the presence of others tends to alter the way people behave or perform an activity.
listening:
Explain how the examples of tying shoes and learning to type demonstrate the principle of audience effects.
