11、er the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1In a recent series of experiments at the University of California, researchers studied toddlers thinking about winners and losers, bullies (欺凌)and victims.In the first experiment, toddl
12、ers (学步儿童)watched a scene in which two puppets (木偶)had conflicting goals: One was crossing a stage from right to left, and the other from left to right. The puppets met in the middle and stopped. Eventually one puppet bowed down and moved aside, letting the other one pass by. Then researchers asked
13、the toddlers which puppet they liked. The result: 20 out of 23 toddlers picked the higher-status puppet - the one that did not bow or move aside. It seems that individuals can gain status for being dominant (占优势的)and toddlers like winners better than losers.But then researchers had another question:
14、 Do toddlers like winners no matter how they win? So, researchers did another experiment very similar to the one described above. But this time, the conflict ended because one puppet knocked the other down and out of the way. Now when the toddlers were asked who they liked, the results were differen
15、t: Only 4 out of 23 children liked the winner.These data suggest that children already love a winner by the age of 21-31 months. This does not necessarily mean that the preference is inborn: 21 months is enough time to learn a lot of things. But if a preference for winners is something we learn, we
16、appear to learn it quite early.Even more interesting, the preference for winners is not absolute. Children in our study did not like a winner who knocked a competitor down. This suggests that already by the age of 21-31 months, childrens liking for winners is balanced with other social concerns, inc
17、luding perhaps a general preference for nice or helpful people over aggressive ones.In a time when the news is full of stories of public figures who celebrate winning at all costs, these results give us much confidence. Humans understand dominance, but we also expect strong individuals to guide, pro
18、tect and help others.
