“What?” Howie cried out before he could remember his manners. “I mean, that’s great,” he added unwillingly. Howie liked playing with his friend Ashwin, but there were no cheese sandwiches at Ashwin’s home!
“I know you are sensitive about being a picky eater, but you need to try new things. You can’t eat sandwiches and tomato soup forever. I expect you to have good manners at Ashwin’s home. It’s rude to say no when someone offers you food,” his mother said.
The next day, Howie followed Ashwin into Ashwin’s home and they played together for some time. “Why do you keep checking the time?” Ashwin asked. “I just wondered if it was time for dinner,” Howie said. “Sure! Smell it! Yummy!” Ashwin said.

Some apps highlight(凸显) when a person is online—and then share the
information with the followers. Researchers at the University of Washington say that people could have more control over whether to show their online status(状态) in this case.
To find out whether people realize the apps are sharing his information and whether these indicators(标识) change how people behave online, the research team carried out a study among users of different apps.
The team asked participants if the apps they used showed their online status to their network. Almost 90% of the participants correctly named at least one of the apps they used that had online status indicators. But for at least one app they used, 62.5% answered “not sure” and 35.5% answered “no.” (Actually the app did.) The researchers also asked participants whether they noticed when others were online, whether they thought others noticed when they were online, and whether they had changed their own behavior because they did or didn’t want to appear online.
The answers show that many people misunderstand online status indicators but still carefully shape their behavior to control how they are displayed to others. More than half of the participants reported that they had suspected(怀疑有) that someone had noticed their status. Meanwhile, over half reported that they had logged on to an app just to check someone else’s status. And 43% of the participants mentioned changing their settings or behavior because they were trying to avoid one specific person.
“We see this repeated way of people changing their behavior to meet the demands of technology—as opposed to technology adapting to us and meeting our needs,” said Lucy Simko, a UW doctoral student in the Allen School. That means people are choosing go online not because they want to do something there but because it’s important that their status indicator is projecting the right thing at the right time.
“Now, many people are working from home and socializing only online to fight the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情), and some employees use their online status to indicate that they are working and available for meetings,” the team says. So there’s an opportunity to think about how future development of this technology could change how people use online status indicators.
27. The fourth paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. the purpose of the research B. the method used by the team
C. the findings of the research D. the suggestions given by the team
