They wanted to find out whether people were more likely to lie about the result of a dice roll when asked that result immediately, or when given time to think.In the experiment, they gave each of 76 volunteers a six-sided dice and a cup. Participants were told that a number of them, chosen at random, would earn ten shekels (about $2.50) for each of the number they rolled on the dice. They were then instructed to shake their cups, check the oute of the rolled dice and remember this roll. Next, they were asked to roll the dice two moretimes, to satisfy themselves that it was not loaded, and then enter the result of the first roll on the puter. Half of the participants were told to plete this within 20 seconds while the others were given no time limit.The researchers had no way of knowing what numbers participants actually rolled, but they knew, statistically, that the average roll, if people reported honestly, should have been 3.5. This gave them a guideline to calculate participants honesty. Those entering their results within 20 seconds reported an average roll of 4.6. Those who were not under any time pressure reported an average roll of 3.9. Both groups lied, then. But those who had had more time for reflection lied less.A second experiment confirmed this result. A different group of volunteers were asked to roll the dice just once. Again, half were put under time pressure and, since there were no additional rolls to make, the restriction was changed from 20 seconds to eight. The others were allowed to consider the matter for as long as they wished. The first half reported an average roll of 4.4. Those given no time limit reported an average of 3.4. The second group, in other words, actually told the truth.The conclusion is that sin is indeed original. Without time for reflection, people will be likely to cheat. Given such time, however, they will often do the right thing. If you want someone to be honest, then, do not press him too hard for an immediate decision.1Why did the researchers choose the dice used in gambling as their experiment tool? A.Because people were more likely to lie when using it.B.Because it was easy to operate in an experiment. C.Because a clearer result could be obtained when using it. D.Because it was regarded as a symbol of sinful activity.2What can we learn about the first experiment?A.The participants were given reward according to the number they rolled.B.Some participants were allowed to roll the dice three times and report the average number. C.The participants all lied about the number they rolled on the dice.D.The researchers had no standard on which to judge the participants.3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word diminishes(inParagraph 1)?A.Increases.B.Reduces. C.Remains. D.Balances.4Which of the following group of people lied the least according to the experiments? A.Those who rolled the dice just once and reported with no time limit.B.Those who rolled the dice just once and reported in 8 seconds. C.Those who rolled the dice three times and reported within 20 seconds. D.Those who rolled the dice three times and reported with no time limit.

While the other levels involvephysical satisfactionthe feeding, fort, safety, and transportation of the human bodythis level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 19On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their ine increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by munity action.
