    【B10】_______________________ . First year students, for example, estimated a mile-long path to be around 1.24 miles on average, while third year students stretched it to 1.45 miles. Crompton published his results in Environment and Behavior.
    【B11】_____________________ ."It seems to fit in with an emerging theme," says a professor who has carried out such experiments at his university in Canada.
