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

                     

provide evidence in support of the view that human beings are essentially rational and selfish

use a particular study to challenge the argument that the economic behavior of human beings may be motivated by factors other than selfishness

compare certain views about human nature held by theoretical economists with those held by experimental economists

describe a study that apparently challenges theoretical economists’ understanding of human economic behavior

suggest that researchers may have failed to take into account the impact of certain noneconomic factors in designing a study of human economic behavior

Answer: D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q7:

The passage implies that the results of the Ultimatum Game undermine theoretical economists’ characterization of human beings by

                     

demonstrating that most people are inclined to try to maximize their own advantage whenever possible

indicating that people who do not have the option of negotiating might behave more generously than do those who have the option of negotiating

illustrating how people’s economic behavior depends to some extent on how large a sum of money is involved

showing that most people instinctively place their own economic self-interest ahead of the interest of strangers

suggesting that people’s economic behavior might in part be motivated by factors other than selfishness

Answer: E

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q8:

The author refers to the sum of one dollar (line 21) in order to

                     

question the notion that the amount of money involved significantly affected players’ behavior

provide an example of one of the rare offers made by proposers that was less than 20 percent

illustrate the rationality of accepting even a very small offer

suggest a reason that responders rejected offers that were less than 20 percent

challenge the conclusion that a selfish and rational proposer should offer a responder the smallest possible share

Answer: E

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q9:

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

players’ level of schooling

amount of money to be shared

ages of the players

players’ professions

genders of the players

Answer: D
