How honest are Asians today?Do people in the region's smaller communities have more integrity than residents of the megacities?What motivates people to do the right thing?
Over a four-month period late last year,we tried to find out with a simple test.We visited 14 cities,towns and communities in nine countries.In each,we"lost"ten ordinary wallets filled with the local equivalent of ¥10 to¥50 in cash,a local address and phone number,classified ads from local newspapers,handwritten shopping lists,everything needed to make the wallets look real.Then we waited to see what would happen.
The results were more revealing than we expected.Overall,out of 140 wallets we dropped across Asia,80 were returned一 57 percent. A similar experiment in Europe resulted in almost identical totals.Out of 200 wallets dropped in Europe,116 were returnedes 一58 percent.In the United States,the return rate was slightly higher:80 out of 120一67 percent.
In the US,only one person declined to take the money in the wallet when it was offered as a reward for being honest.In Europe,more than a quarter refused to take the money.In Asia,a staggering 72 percent of those who returned the wallets一 58 of 80一said no to any reward.
"I cannot accept a reward for having done the right thing,"said a university student in Seoul. Among those who did accept the money,several said they intended to donate it to a charity or religious organization.
Within Asia we found other interesting results.Two-thirds of all our wallets were retrieved by men.But once the wallet was picked up,it made little difference whether the finder was male or fe-male.In our study,58 percent of the women who picked up wallets returned them and so did 56 percent of the men.
Are the people in Asia's giant population centers less honest than in its smaller cities?It seemed so. The lowest combined rate of return一still a respectable 50 percent一was in the three largest cities visited:Seoul,Bombay and Manila. The best rates of return were in the less populous cities一 Singapore;Inchon,Korea;Trivandrum,India;and Kamakura,Japan一with populations ranging from 180,000 to 2.8 million.
选项
As a result,no more than 50 percent of the wallets were returned in Asia.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案
B
解析
文章最后一段提到了“在亚洲人口密集的大城市里的人们不如那里中小城镇的居民诚实”,这是对第一段提出问题的回应。因此这句话是正确的。
第三段提到“在亚洲,有80个钱包也就是57%被归还”,由此可以看出本句的表述是错误的。
文章第三段的数据告诉我们,亚洲的归还率是57%,欧洲的归还率是58%,而在美国归还率为67%。因此本句的表述是正确的。
第四段讲到在美国仅有一人拒绝接受钱包里的钱作为酬谢,欧洲有1/4 的人拒绝,而亚洲有76%的人拒绝。相比而言,亚洲拒绝的人最多,因此本句的表述是正确的。
文章最后一段讲到在亚洲人口密集城市的居民不如人口较少城市的人诚实,但是并不是说全世界都是这样,因此选择C。
在文章最后一段中我们了解到镰仓和新加坡人口较少,但是我们并不知道两者比较起来谁的居民更多,因此选择C。
文章第六段第二句讲到亚洲测试的结果显示2/3的钱包是男士归还的,因此本句的表述是归还的。
