A

Ever wondered whether punishment actually makes people cooperate (合作)? A team of scientists created an experiment to figure it out and the results were pretty unexpected.
To understand what they found, you have to know why these scientists were studying punishment. They were trying to figure out why people cooperate when it’s often so easy to profit at others expense. Why don’t friends steal from each other? Why do parents bother to feed their children? If the answer to these questions is obvious to you, congratulations, you are ahead of scientists. They’re still trying to figure it out.
In this experiment, researchers had 225 Chinese students play a game, where if the students cooperated, they’d all get a number of points. But if one defected (变节) and everyone else cooperated, the defector would get a lot of points, and the cooperators would lose out. This game represents a lot of real life situations where you struggle with a decision: work together and do OK, or run off with the rewards, ruining everybody else’s day.
This is actually a pretty ordinary economic experiment. But the researchers added two changes to see if they could mimic(糢拟〉the real world better. Change one: some students played many rounds together, so they’d learn who they could trust. Change two: people could punish each other, sacrificing a point or two to destroy another player’s score.
In the end, the researchers found that playing multiple rounds made people cooperate more, which definitely mimics human society. But the whole punishment thing led to a surprise: punishing didn’t actually make people cooperate more. In fact, it made them cooperate less.
So the scientists still don’t know why people cooperate, though it looks like it has more to do with groups sticking together than it does with punishment.
1、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Why friends don’t steal from each other.
B．Why researchers are studying punishment.
C．Why people always profit at others’ expense.
D．Why people cooperate rather than take advantage of others.
2、What happened to a defector in the experiment?
A．He lost out. B．He benefited more.
C．He got punished. D．He became the leader.
3、What conclusion is drawn from the experiment?
A．Punishing helps people realize their mistakes.
B．Cooperating is a win-win policy to all.
C．Punishment won’t work as expected.
D．People who choose to cooperate are selfless.
4、What might be the best title for the text?
A．Does punishing people actually work?
B．Why is punishment applied to cooperation?
C．How can punishment contribute to cooperation?
D．What is the best way to make punishment effective?

B
Castle Dale is a small town in central Utah. My grandpa’s farm is a few miles to the north. I grew up there. Milking a cow, feeding the chickens and cutting firewood were daily routines. Grandpa had me carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was actually taller than I was. This was the work kids like me learned to do at a young age.
I was tall, very tall at a really young age. My unusual height caused people to look, ask questions, laugh, tease, and sometimes even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly as a kid. It wasn’t fair, I knew, but that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was taught at a very young age a very important lesson. I am different and that’s Okay—I’m unique and I matter. No one could ever take that away from me. I knew this then, and I know this now. That alone helped me through the frustrations and heartaches of normal life.
When I was in junior high school, I realized something else that helped me cope. Most teasing came from one of two places—people who were either jealous or ignorant (愚昧). I couldn’t change the way they were, but I could change the way I felt. I was not going to feel bad because of their ignorance or jealousy. It wasn’t worth it. Realizing this didn’t stop them, or change the fact that these comments hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand these people and deal with their treatment in a way that was okay for me.
These things still happen today. It will probably happen the rest of my life. I will always be 7 feet, 6 inches (2.29 meters) tall. I wouldn’t change that for anything. People will always look because it is not every day that you see someone that tall. I learned that at a young age and I now try to teach my own children that they are unique and they matter. That is the message I give to you. Regardless of your race, religion, background, or circumstances ... Being different is okay.

2、The author was often teased because _______
A．he grew up in a small town B．he was much taller than others
C．he fought with people easily D．he didn’t want people to watch him

A．He accepted the fact of being different and let it go.
B．He felt angry failing to change others’ opinions.
C．He felt hurt hearing people’s negative comments
D．He hated people’s ignorance and jealousy.
