25、annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UKs largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane(通道 ) for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them. The Lakeside Shopping Center in Essex has in
26、troduced a 720-foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the Christmas rush. The centers management team said: “the lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and dont want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.” Th
27、e fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping.

36、t something, so they perform poorly as a result. The researchers also theorized that women performed better at skills that involve a social element. In other words, if reading a map means helping someone else, they might perform better. Tarampi and her team tested both theories on undergraduate stud
37、ents at UCSB across three separate experiments. And, indeed, the results showed that men scored better than women only when they were mentioned the stereotype of male superiority before the test. When the researchers did not mention it and gave a social context for reading the map, womens scores imp
38、roved across the board. Women also performed better when the test maps simply included human figures, rather than just random objects and landmarks.
