A
Money is the root of all evil (邪恶) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》).
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest cars.
In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher — class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks, It also means they care less about other people’s feelings.
Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self- interest,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.
Piff pointed out that the findings don’t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts（本能）and values in different ways.
1、By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to .
A．link wealth with bad behavior
B．draw readers’ attention to the research
C．show how the saying proves the findings
D．defend rich people who do immoral things
2、According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?
A．They welcome risks.
B．They have more desires.
C．They believe money talks.
D．They become more selfish.
3、Why did the scientists do the experiments?
A．To show how social status affects people’s morality.
B．To show people’s instincts and values in different ways.
C．To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.
D．To show the difference between higher - class people and lower - class people.
4、What does the passage really want to show us?
A．The poor are respectable.
B．Money is the root of all evil.
C．All rich people are untrustworthy.
D．The rich are more likely to act badly.

B
When it's five o'clock, people leave their office. The length of the workday, for many workers, is defined by time. They leave when the clocks tell them they’re done.
These days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cellphones and computers. That may be a bad thing, particularly at work. New research shows that clock based work schedules hinder creativity.
Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours. For example: a meeting from 9 a. m. to 10 a. m, research from 10 a. m to noon, etc. On the other hand, task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish. They work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is completed. It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.
What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activities from project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under “ clock time” vs. “ task time”. They found clock timers to be more efficient(有效率的) but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task timers are happier and more creative, but less productive. They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening, and seize opportunities that come up.
The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in the business culture. This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy: work organized by clock time. While most people will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity. It’ll make those tasks easier, and the task-doers will be happier.
1、What does the author say a clock-based work?
A．It makes workers very tired.
B．It reminds workers to leave on time.
C．It makes workers aware of the precious time.
D．It may have a bad effect on the creativity.
2、What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Block. B．Consider.
C．Increase. D．Value.
3、What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers?
A．They seize opportunities as they come up.
B．They always get their work done in time.
C．They tend to be more productive.
D．They can control their lives.
4、What do the researchers suggest?
A．Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.
B．It is important to keep a balance between work and life.
C．Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier.
D．A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.
