They have long understood that groups of friends and relatives 5 to buy the same products, but understanding the 6 has been tricky. Is it because they are so similar with regard to how much money they 7 and what television ads they watch that they independently arrive at the same decision? Or do they 8 one another, perhaps out of envy or perhaps because they have 9 information about the products?
Research in Finland recently found good 10 that neighbours have a big influence on buying 11. When one of a person's ten nearest neighbours bought a car, the chances that that person would buy a car of the 12 brand during the next week and a half rose by 86 percent.

"Are you going to the audition (试镜)?" Someone asked Connie, as we came out of ballet class.
"What audition?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing," said Connie. "It's for The Ed Sullivan Show. You wouldn't be1."
The Ed Sullivan Show was a famous onehour show on CBS. They constantly needed performers for their new shows. This time they were looking for six dancers to support the star performer Jimmy Durante.
"Why not? I'd love to go！" I 2.
Connie smiled at me and said, "I don't think you are 3 yet, Eva. "
Later that night, I couldn't fall asleep. It 4 me. Who said I shouldn't go to the audition? Only because I was a young novice (新手)? How would I know if I didn't try?
The next morning, I 5 I was going to the audition. I packed my dancing shoes, and put on bright red lipstick. As I looked at my 6 in the mirror, I saw one thing missing. I put on a smile.
I took the subway to the Eighth Avenue and walked to the rehearsal studio. I 7 and took my place nervously.
The audition began. More and more dancers were knocked out. I was still there with my friends. Then we were asked to do a jeté en l'air 8: stand on one leg, kick the other one up and out as close to a split as possible, and then do a turn in the air. Hopefully, you'd land on both feet.
All the other candidates did the jeté beautifully. It was my turn. I took the preparatory step, and with that neverending smile, I leaped up into the air, turned in midair and landed flat on my back. But even then, the smile never 9 my face.
When everything settled down, my friends were instructed to go to the right. When I was told to go to the left, their faces told they felt 10 for me.
I picked up my belongings and prepared to leave when the choreographer (编舞) called out to me, "Where are you going? You've got the 11 if you want it. "
Did I want it? I certainly did. I thought I had been 12！
There were no jetés in the 13. I made my first appearance on national TV. I never stopped 14, and I always landed on my feet.
It proved once again that a smile will get one 15 than a frown ever will.
