A
The key to getting people to work together effectively could be giving them the freedom to choose their collaborators (合作者) and the comfort of working with established contacts, new research suggests.
In the study, David Melamed, an assistant professor of sociology at the Ohio State University and lead author of the study, and his co-authors found participants through the Amazon Mechanical Turk website — a service that allows researchers to hire people from around the world for a variety of purposes. For this study, all participants were from the United States.
Those who agreed to participate played online games in which each player started out with 1,000 monetary units that translated to $1 in real money they could pocket. If one player agreed to pay another player 50 monetary units, that second person would actually acquire 100 units. Each of the 16-round games included about 25 participants, some of whom participated in multiple games. In all, 810 people participated in the research.
Some of the games included random networks, where certain people could interact. Others included clustered (群集的) networks, in which a small group had multiple connections — an arrangement that was designed to mimic (模拟) real life, where humans often run their lives in packs. And the networks were either static (静态的) or dynamic (动态的). In static networks, a player could interact only with the appointed partners. In dynamic networks, participants could cut their ties with another player and form new connections. Furthermore, some of the games included reputation information. Participants were labeled based on their history of willingness to share money. The idea was to test whether those known to collaborate were favored by other players based on reputation — a factor shown in previous research to play a significant role in whether a person is likely to partner with another.
Melamed and his research partners were surprised to find that whether people are likely to partner with others had nothing to do with reputation in this study. The findings might have departed from previous studies because of the difference in size and study design, he said, explaining that much of the previous work in this area was conducted in groups of 100 or fewer and mostly involved student subjects. The Turk network used for the new study has been shown to be representative of the U.S. population in terms of age, race and other factors and the introduced players had no previous connections.
Cooperation rates overall were high — and highest when the participants were cooperating in clusters and had the ability to drop a partner in favor of another. “What really seems to matter is the ability to change the structure of a network,” Melamed said. “And the patterns of relationships also made a difference. Those in a known cluster with multiple connections cooperated more.”
1、What did David Melamed and his partners do for their study?
A．They hired 810 people globally.
B．They gave each participant $1,000.
C．They designed 16-round online games.
D．They asked each participant to take part in only one game.
2、Compared with previous research, the new study found that _____.
A．reputation played no role in cooperation
B．student subjects were more likely to partner with others
C．players having connections before were more cooperative
D．cooperation rates were influenced by age, race and other factors
3、It can be inferred that the purpose of the study led by David Melamed is to discover _____.
A．how to change the patterns of relationships
B．what leads people to collaborate most willingly
C．what kind of person is the most popular in a team
D．whether it’s proper to drop a partner in favor of another

B
Residents in the poorest counties in the U.S. face a life expectancy up to decade shorter than their counterparts in the wealthiest areas, according to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health.
Researchers from East Tennessee State University wanted to better understand how socioeconomic status was associated with heath outcomes. To find out they divided the country’s 3,141 counties into 50 new ‘states’ (with 2 percent of the counties in each) based on household income as opposed to geographic proximity (接近).
The researchers broke down the data by county since they found state-level data may hide some ‘impact of socioeconomic differences on both the best-off and worst-off counties.’ They then examined health data from the wealthiest and poorest ‘states’ (top and bottom 2 percent) to see how residents differed on factors like smoking, clinical care and excessive drinking. Researchers found that there was nearly a 10-year gap in the life expectancy of men with an average of 79.3 years in the wealthy counties compared to 69.8 years in the poorest. For women, the difference was slightly less - 83 years in the wealthiest counties and 76 years in the poorest.
The study authors caution that while they found a connection between socioeconomic status and health outcomes, they did not analyze cause and effect. But they suggest that the data shows how policy makers should not just focus on state-wide initiatives (主动性) but more targeted efforts to help those most at risk. “With limited resources, methods of pinpointing the poorest counties can assist in the allocation of resources and programs to those communities that are in the greatest need,’’ the study authors wrote.
1、How did Researchers divide the counties?
A．By social status. B．By income.
C．By health. D．By living places.
2、Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A．The women difference is less than the man in life expectancy.
B．The wealthiest ‘state’ like hiding their wealth.
C．Most health data is unbelievable.
D．Most poorest ‘state’ smoke and drink a lot.
3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The researchers think their study is perfect.
B．People still don’t know the cause of life expectancy.
C．The government should learn something from the study.
D．The American resources allocation is not fair at all.
4、What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Ways to have a long life expectancy
B．Great income differences in the USA
C．The health problem in the USA
D．Men in richest 10 years longer in poorest
