試題詳情
It is well known that the Frenchmen are romantic，the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious．Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character？And if there is，can it affect how a nation succeeds or fails？
The answer is YES，at least one group of people is certain that it can．A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs （企業(yè)家） in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public．Britain is hostile （敵意的） to success，they said．It has a culture of jealousy （忌妒）．（1）DD Jealousy is sometimes known as the"green-eyed monster"and the UK is its home．
Recently scientists at Warwick University in the UK tested this idea．They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money．（2）GG Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others-but at the cost of losing their own．Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this．
（3）BB But there is also opposite evidence．The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy．That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success．People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe．So the British people are not lazy，either．
"It is not really success that the British dislike，"says Carey Cooper，a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology．"It's people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots．"
（4）FF They set out to do things in their way．They work long hours．By their own efforts they become millionaires．（5）EE It hardly seems worth following their example．If they were more friendly，people would like them more．And more people want to be like them．
A．The one who owns most money in the end is the winner．
B．This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain．
C．It is not true that British people are born jealous of others' success．
D．As a result，the survey said，entrepreneurs were"unloved，unwanted and misunderstood．"
E．But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them．
F．Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem．
G．Some were given a little，others a great deal．

1．In the city I live in，we have a small local national park full of trees.I like that place very much，although I do wish it was bigger.
One day，I was walking around in the park along a path （小路） when I saw a beautiful squirrel （松鼠） lying in the middle of the path.I stopped and found that there was something wrong with one of its legs.

Then I stopped them."Please wait.Do you really want to catch it and put it into the birdcage？" My neighbor said， "Yes.I will catch it and take it home." I said angrily， "Animals are our friends and this is the last place in our city that the squirrel can live in.We must protect them.If we are kind to this tiny animal then we can start to be kind to bigger ones." My neighbor smiled and said，"You misunderstood me.I will take it home and cure （治療） it and when it is well，I will take it back to the park and set it free.Do you come long with me？"After hearing his words，I became happy.I followed him with the injured squirrel to his home.A few days later，when the squirrel was well，we took it back to the park and sent it free.
