The trains always busy but I usually find a seat and start reading or texting my friends, making sure, like everyone else, not to look at other people. But last Tuesday was different. I was happily
2、listening to some new music when the train suddenly stopped. This wasnt unusual and I didnt think anything of it. Then after about five minutes, I noticed people were starting to get a bit angry. Fifteen minutes later, people started getting angrier. The longer the train stood still, the angrier peo
3、ple became until finally the announcement came: “We are sorry to announce that this train is delay ed（延误）. That seemed to calm people down and so we all went back to what we were doing before, but soon there was another announcement: It will be a long time before we get there. There was a large sigh
4、 throughout the carriage（车厢）but then something unexpected happened: complete strangers started talking to each other. I started chatting to a couple of young tourists. They were from Spain and they were traveling around the UK so I suggested some places they should visit. Next I really surprised mys
5、elf by starting a conversation with a businesswoman. She was going to take three months to climb Qomolangma. It was great talking to her. Then I decided to get up and go for a walk down the train. I met a woman who had been a student at my school seven years before and knew lots of my teachers. Whil
6、e we were talking, we heard there was a patient in another part of the train who needed help and the woman from my school jumped into action. It turned out she was a nurse and when she came back, she was welcomed as a hero. Then, after two hours, we started moving again. Everyone clapped and cheered

10、all heard some and weve all spread some. In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they travel differently because the way we share information has also changed. The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally. We dont enjoy being on th
11、e receiving end of one, since they usually dont have good intentions. They are somewhat veiled (掩饰的) messages. Normally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox (自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish ex
12、plaining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a proven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort invo
13、lved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Change: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the first rumor. Another property (属性) of rumors is that they tend to become viral. Each receiver is at th
14、e same time a potential transmitter (传输者) of the information. The receiver often adds their own opinion. Their manner and tone of transmitting it also changes it. How can we end rumors? The answer is as simple as it is impossible: preventing people from communicating. A more realistic response is eq
15、ually difficult, although less than the first one. It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they also trust the information. We should also think about if the rumor benefi
16、ts someone, and if that someone started the rumor. One rumor to be especially cautious of is a rumor about groups relatively unable to defend themselves. Thats why we say, History is always told by the winners. The first payment the defeated must make is to accept the victors version of the story. 1
