GWD 7-6

Q6 to Q9:

      For many years, theoretical

        economists characterized humans

        as rational beings relentlessly bent

Line on maximizing purely selfish reward.

  (5)       Results of an experimental economics

study appear to contradict this view,

however.  In the “Ultimatum Game,”

two subjects, who cannot exchange

information, are placed in separate

(10)       rooms.  One is randomly chosen to

propose how a sum of money, known

to both, should be shared between

them; only one offer, which must

be accepted or rejected without

(15)       negotiation, is allowed.

      If, in fact, people are selfish and

rational, then the proposer should offer

the smallest possible share, while the

responder should accept any offer,

(20)       no matter how small:  after all, even

        one dollar is better than nothing.  In

        numerous trials, however, two-thirds

of the offers made were between

40 and 50 percent; only 4 percent

(25)       were less than 20 percent.  Among

responders, more than half who were

offered less than 20 percent rejected

the offer.  Behavior in the game did not

appreciably depend on the players’

(30)       sex, age, or education.  Nor did the

amount of money involved play a

significant role:  for instance, in trials

        of the game that were conducted in

Indonesia, the sum to be shared was

(35)     as much as three times the subjects’

average monthly income, and still

responders refused offers that they

deemed too small.

Q6:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

up一下十天前的题目

都快忘了!!

应该是propose, 而非challenge

GWD-7-Q9:

All of the following are expressly mentioned in the passage as factors that did not significantly affect players’ behavior EXCEPT the

1. players’ level of schooling


2. amount of money to be shared


3. ages of the players


4. players’ professions


5. genders of the players

Answer: (E)

是不是答案错了，我觉得d正确啊。

偶觉得GG的答案应该是对的,D是正确答案

Behavior in the game did not

appreciably depend on the players’

sex, age, or education.  Nor did the

amount of money involved play a

significant role:

我怎么觉得意思好像没反呢

我认为bd的主要区别在于选项描述的重心问题，也就是本文的主旨

在b中的描述可以体会到这篇文章成了一个驳论文所有的重心在驳，b中所提到的其他因素，并没有在文章中引出。

而d中则说的是主要为描述一个研究，而研究中所反应的东西恰恰驳斥了某论点，这恰恰反应了文中的用意

附上简要意思

      For many years, theoretical

       economists characterized humans

       as rational beings relentlessly bent

Line       on maximizing purely selfish reward.很多年来，理论经济学家都将人类定义为理性的动物无情的倾向为个人利益最大化。

  (5)      Results of an experimental economics

study appear to contradict this view,

however.  In the “Ultimatum Game,”然而一个实践的经济研究所表现出来的正与这个观点相反。

two subjects, who cannot exchange

information, are placed in separate

(10)      rooms.  One is randomly chosen to在最后通谍游戏中，两个研究对象，他们之间不可交换信息，被放置于独立的屋子中。

propose how a sum of money, known

to both, should be shared between

them; only one offer, which must

be accepted or rejected without

(15)      negotiation, is allowed.一个被随机的选作去处置如何将一定数量的前在他们中间分配，而只有这一个人去提供，另外一个人必须选择接受或拒绝，而不被允许进行商议。

      If, in fact, people are selfish and

rational, then the proposer should offer

the smallest possible share, while the

responder should accept any offer,

(20)      no matter how small:  after all, even

       one dollar is better than nothing.  In如果，事实上，人类是自私并理性的话，那么分配者应该提供最少的部分给回应者，而回应者应该接受任何的分配不论多么的少，毕竟甚至是一美元也比没有要来的好。

       numerous trials, however, two-thirds

of the offers made were between

40 and 50 percent; only 4 percent

(25)      were less than 20 percent.  Among

responders, more than half who were

offered less than 20 percent rejected

the offer.  Behavior in the game did not在大多数的试验中，然而三分之二的分配者在40％到50％之间进行分配。在回应者中，超过一半的得到少于20％的人拒绝了所给予的分配。

appreciably depend on the players’

(30)      sex, age, or education.  Nor did the在游戏中的行为并不依赖于游戏者的性别年龄或者是受教育程度。

amount of money involved play a

significant role:  for instance, in trials

       of the game that were conducted in

Indonesia, the sum to be shared was

(35)    as much as three times the subjects’

average monthly income, and still

responders refused offers that they

deemed too small.同时也不依赖于，在游戏中所涉及到的发挥重要作用的钱的数量：举例，在i举行的游戏的试验，数量大约是研究对象的月平均工资的三倍，依然有回应者拒绝分配他们认为数量太少。

B： ... to challenge  ... factors other than selfishness

应该是 ... to challenge  ... selfishness
