But whenever we

32、 pick up the eggs we always say, thank you, ladies. Thats really something that is hard to teach other than having an animal in your backyard that delivers food to you.

46、d cheat the poor person or the rich one? Its easier to think that the wealthier you are, the more likely you are to act fairly and think about what others may need. But research suggests the opposite is true: as people climb the social ladder, their compassionate (有同情心的)feelings towards other people

47、 decline.Berkeley psychologists Paul Piff and Dacher Keltner ran several studies looking at whether social class, as measured by wealth, occupation, and education, influences how much people care about the feelings of others. In one study, Piff and his colleagues carefully observed the behavior of d

48、rivers at a busy four-way intersection. They found that luxury car drivers were more likely to cut off other motorists instead of waiting for their turn at the intersection. This was true for both men and women upper-class drivers, regardless of the time of day or the amount of traffic at the inters

49、ection. In a different study they found that luxury car drivers were also more likely to speed past a pedestrian trying to use a crosswalk, even after making eye contact with the pedestrian.In order to figure out whether selfishness leads to wealth rather than vice versa, Piff and his colleagues ran

50、 a study where they managed to control peoples class feelings. The researchers asked participants to spend a few minutes comparing themselves either to people better off or worse off than themselves financially. Afterwards, participants were shown a jar of candy and told that they could take home as

51、 much as they wanted. They were also told that the leftover candy would be given to children in a nearby laboratory. Those participants who had spent time thinking about how much better off they were compared to others ended up taking significantly more candy for themselves leaving less behind for t

52、he children.But why would wealth and status decrease the feelings of compassion for others? Piff and his colleagues suspect that the answer may have something to do with how wealth give people a sense of independence from others. The less they have to rely on others, the less they may care about oth

53、ers feelings. This leads them towards being more self-focused. Another reason is their attitudes towards greed. Upper-class people may be more likely to agree with the idea that “greed is good.” Although greed is a universal human emotion, it may have the strongest pull over those of who already hav

54、e the most.59. Its generally viewed that rich people are more likely to_.A. lie and cheat B.care about others C. ignore others feelings D.behave differently fromothers60.
