" If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks, or why their men wear pants 27
skirts, or why they may be married to only one person at a time, we are likely to get 28 and very uninformative answers: "Because it's right. " "Because that's the way it's done. " "Because it's the 29 " Or even ,I don't know. " The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that they are __30 by social norms--shared rules or guidelines which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation. Norms 31 how people " ought" to behave under particular circumstances in a particular society. We conform ( 遵守) to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they 32 . In fact, we are much more likely to notice 33 from norms than conformity to them. You would not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced, but you might be a little 34 if they bowed, started to stroke you or kissed you on both 35 . Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world. When we visit another society whose norms are different, we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.

In 1991, there were only 40 fast-track curricula; now there are more than 200. Typical is Columbia University's Entry to Practice program. Students earn their bachelor of science in nursing

Many students are recent 41 ; others are career switchers.

But their beds were provided by private individuals, rather than a hotel chain. Hosts and guests were matched up by Airbnb, a firm based in San Francisco. Since its launch in 2008 more than 4 million people have used it—2.5 million of them in 2012 alone. It is the most prominent example of a huge new "sharing economy", in which people rent beds, cars, boats and other assets directly from each other, co-ordinated via the internet.
B) You might think this is no different from running a bed-and-breakfast (家庭旅店). owning a timeshare (分时度假房) or participating in a car pool. But technology has reduced transaction costs, making sharing assets cheaper and easier than ever—and therefore possible on a much larger
