13、or higher social position behave rudely, and that their behavior shows less concern for the feelings of others. In order to find out how different levels of privilege and different levels of wealth between people in everyday life shape how they behave toward others and how they see the world, Paul P

14、iff designed an experiment to study the behavior of strangers who were meeting for the first time. During these meetings, volunteers who had described themselves as wealthier did not seem interested in getting to know the other person.

17、anding the causes of corruption among the powerful. Besides, Mr. Piff stresses that their findings correspond to those of other studies. He says the research suggests that for many people power and money can have a corrupting influence on social behavior. He is concerned that as wealth inequality in

23、tinctly 21st-century problem”. A new word has been created to describe this - phubbing.

24、nning to lose patience with the phenomenon. A Stop Phubbing campaign group has been started in Australia and at least five others have sprung up in its wake as anger about the lack of manners grows. The campaigns creator, Alex Haigh, 23, from Melbourne, said, “A group of friends and I were chatting

25、when someone raised how annoying being ignored by people on mobiles was.” He has created a website where companies can download posters to discourage phubbing. Phubbing is just one symptom of our increasing dependence on mobile phones and the Internet which is replacing normal social interaction. A

26、survey found that one out of three Britons would answer the phone in a restaurant and 19% said they would while being served in a shop. The survey comes after a supermarket assistant in south London refused to serve a woman until she stopped using her phone. Time magazine once pointed out, “Phubbing

The story goes like this: the more consumers spend, the more money circulates in the eco

41、nomy, which contributes to healthy job growth and profits. Keynes, a British economist, went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actually be hurting the economy. Sounds troubling, doesnt it? Fear not. You arent actually hurting anyone else by saving money. Strong economic growth

42、 only comes from the place: savings. Not consumption. In fact, economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth. For example, somebody takes their money, walks into a store, and purchases goods. The store increases its revenue. But what happens to all of those goods and services that peo

43、ple have chosen not to consume by saving their money? Simple: other people are allowed to consume them. Think of it this way: when you lend out your savings, you are actually saying, “Here, I am not going to consume right now, so why dont you?” Banks simply play the middleman: they collect lots of p

44、eoples savings and then lend out lots of funds. It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building. It takes food, shelter, and entertainment for all of the workers, as well. Without savings, it is quite impossible to finance such a construction. The coordination between s

45、avings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth. This coordination is also why consumer lending (say, to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car) is not productive, in a strict sense. It doesnt increase the net (凈的) amount of wealth of an economy. Those savings could have been u

46、sed to construct, say, factory equipment. None of this means consumption and spending are “bad” things. They simply do not make us wealthier. After all, the final goal of production and savings is to consume. But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the

47、horse. Or, to rephrase: the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier. Happier, perhaps. Wealthier, no. 32. What is the authors attitude towards Keynes theory? A. Approving. B. Reserved. C. Uncertain. D. Critical. 33. The underlined word “revenue” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_”

48、. A. cost B. reputation C. interest D. income 34. According to the author, which chart could show the effect of savings on economy? X: Economic Growth, Y: Savings 35.

50、vior. 36 A good habit could be you making your bed as soon as you wake up, or wiping your shoes on the doormat before entering, and a bad habit could be biting your nails, or talking loudly in public. 37 We are so accustomed to our bad habits that most of the time we dont even realize that we have t
