Traditional economics says that people are rational beings who will lie if it's to their advantage. A recent university study has shown that, actually, we're pretty honest --especially when we're at home. Researchers in Germany phoned people at home and asked them to toss a coin. There was a strong financial incentive to fake the result: if the coin landed tails-up, the participants would receive money or a gift ticket, while if the coin landed heads-up, they would get nothing. Because they were on the phone, they knew there was no risk of getting caught if they lied. And yet people told the truth.Over hundreds of tosses, a coin will land tails-up roughly 50% of the time. In this study 0ver half the people asked (55.6%) said that the coin landed heads-up, which meant they would receive nothing. Previous studies had found that people were more dishonest. In those laboratory studies, 75% of people reported a winning coin and claimed a reward. So the research team thinks it's being in our own homes which makes us play fair, although it's not yet clear why. In fact both types of study show people are surprisingly reliable. Even in the laboratory, 25% of people turned down a reward by telling the truth. The researchers say this is because honesty is highly valued in human society.We care about our reputation and our sense of ourselves as respectable people. So lying has a psychological cost and it seems this cost is more important than the financialbenefits of lying . Question: Under what circumstance were the participants more dishonest? Options: A: On the phone B: On the street C: In their homes D: In those laboratory studies

Q: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Nobel, who was born in Stockholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments. Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859. After his return, he started researching into bombs. As is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but Nobel was working under that condition. Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake. He received criticism and satire , but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart. From 1860s to 1880s, Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels. Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled. Even at the end of the 20th century, we still used his methods. Nobel had many patents in Britain and other European countries. He was quick to see industrial openings for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forwardlooking industrialist. But Nobel's main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. To follow his will, a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics, chemistry, physiology , medicine, literature and peace. That's the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist. Question: Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? Options: A: His wonderful will surely provided other scientists with a large sum of money. B: In leaving behind a wellmeant will, Nobel succeeded in setting up a permanent monument for his interests and ideals. C: Nobel made a glorious will so that he might be remembered and respected after his death. D: Nobel expressed his wish in his will that a monument should be put up in memory of him.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: One day my 13-year-old daughter told me that she was going to spend the afternoon at her friend Jesse's house. I didn't doubt it until I called Jesse's number to remind Liz that it was her turn to walk the dog, and Jesse's mom picked up the phone and said, "I thought she and Jesse were planning to be at your house." It turned out that the two of them had decided to hang out at a coffee shop instead. When I questioned my daughter, she replied coldly, "What's the big deal? You're such a psycho ." Can you say it is right or wrong for them to behave like that? Their changeable personalities leave you feeling angry and guilty at the same time. _ "There's nothing wrong about being angry with your child," Says Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D., author of The 10 Basic Principles of Good Parenting. "Conflict is natural when your innocent, lovely child turns into an adolescent who can hardly tolerate you. It's part of the process of separation." Kids insisted on their individuality with behavior to purposely drive you crazy. It's their way of saying, "I am my own person" -- but doing it in a context that's safe and that has clear limits. So when your little darling changes into a silent person who still expects meals, clothing, and transportation, don't panic. Here's how to handle some common problems without losing your temper or your self-respect. Question: By saying "In fact, if your kids don't annoy you from time to time, you're not doing your job", the writer probably means that _ . Options: A: when you are doing a job, your kids shouldn't annoy you B: parents should be responsible for children's bad behavior C: parents shouldn't tolerate their children's bad behavior D: it's understandable for kids to annoy their parents
