It's long been thought that in order to succeed in life you need to think only of yourself and ignore the needs of others. New research, however, suggests the exact opposite is true and being nice to others actually makes you more likely to be successful. The scientists found that ‘givers’ were more likely to share knowledge, and in turn gain more information themselves.

Researchers divided participants into three groups based on a personality test: givers, takers and matchers. In a social dilemma task, participants were given a made-up donation which was equal to the amount of ￡ 240($400). They were then asked to decide how much of their money they would give to a shared group pool. They were told that the money in the pool would be doubled and divided equally among all group members. Thus, it would be more beneficial to the group as a whole if everyone contributed their individual donations. However, it would be more beneficial for the individual if everyone else from the group contributed,while the individual kept his or her own money. The researchers used this strategic (策略的) information sharing task to examine how much and which pieces of information participants shared: the less important and already known information or the really important information only known by the individual.

The results showed that givers are less self-centered and self-loving than takers. Givers shared not only more money with the group, but they also shared important information. Takers on the other hand kept both the money as well as different types of information.

The findings suggest that it may not be enough to simply provide knowledge management tools in order to make the best of knowledge exchange in a group of people. It may be necessary for leaders and managers to keep in mind the personality styles of their employees. Specifically, they should be aware that takers may keep the important information for themselves.

1.What is the traditional opinion about success?

A. Cooperating and communicating with others.

B. Sharing knowledge and information with others.

C. Being warm-hearted and enthusiastic to others.

D. Paying all attention to your own need.

2.What can we learn from the results of the personality test?

A. Being self-centered and self-loving were unpopular.

B. Both givers and takers benefited from each other.

C. Takers got more than givers in money and information.

D. Sharing in turn brings more money and important information.

3.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

A. Knowledge exchange in a company is not enough.

B. Knowing the personality styles helps the development of the company.

C. Leaders should not share any information with his employees.

D. Employees often keep important information to themselves.

4.In which column of the newspaper will you find this passage?

A. Science.　　 B. Entertainment.

C. Culture and art.　　 D. Human nature.

Do you ever pull your phone out of your pocket，thinking it is vibrating（振动），only to find that it isnˈt？This phenomenon，which scientists call"phantom（幻觉的）phone vibration"，is very common．Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually still．

So，what leads to this universal behavior？According to the BBC，the explanation lies in your brainˈs ability to discover signals from the outside world．When your phone is in your pocket，there are two possible states：it is either vibrating or not．Meanwhile，you also have two possible states of mind：the judgment that the phone is vibrating，or that it isnˈt．Ideally，you match the four states correctly．

However，sometimes your brain decides that the results of missing a call are more serious than a"false alarm"．Therefore，you become more sensitive（敏感的） to vibrations so that you donˈt miss anything． This is just like the fire alarm in your home---it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke．But thatˈs a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you．Now，you might still ask：why canˈt our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals？The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day．"You get a large amount of sensory(感觉的) information thatˈs coming from your eyes，ears and skin，and you canˈt deal with all that information all the time，"Michael Rothberg，a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield，US，told Live Science．

For example，the rustling（沙沙声）of clothing or the growling（咕咕声）of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone-it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room．

So，perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think itˈs vibrating．Itˈs not too much trouble to do that，is it？

1.According to this passage，phantom phone vibration ______ ．

A.is common among people with mental problems

B.can measure peopleˈs ability to collect information

C.happens when our brains react sensitively to false signals

D.helps our brains to make very quick and accurate decisions

2.Why is the fire alarm used as an example in this passage？

A.To show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibration．

B.To help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration better．

C.To tell us the phone vibration usually happens when a fire breaks out．

D.To convince us itˈs important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm．

3.According to Michael Rothberg，which is mainly responsible for phantom phone vibration？

A.A noisy background． B.A lack of much attention．

C.A heavy burden every day． D.An overflow of sensory information．

4.What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration？

A.We should always fully believe our own sense of listening．

B.We should just check our phones whenever we think theyˈre vibrating．

C.We should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are actually still．

D.We should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments．

There is more to tourism in Britain than you might think.

When you think of tourist sites in Britain, what do you think of? Big Ben and the Tower of London? Lock Ness? Shakespeare’s birthplace at Strafford-upon-Avon? There are many famous tourist attractions in the UK and they attract millions of visitors each year. But along with the famous names there are thousands of other interesting places that are only open to the public for a few days each year. Heritage Open Days takes place each September and lets the public visit places that would normally be out of bounds. Among the thousands of historic sites there are castles and factories, town halls and churches. Here we look at some of the places that most tourists might not know about.

Roman Baths --- Chester

These Roman baths are almost two thousand years old and a fascinating insight into the history of the city but they aren’t often open to visitors because they are under a clothes shop and a shop that sells baked potatoes! In Open Days week, visitors can go downstairs to the basement of the shops and find a little piece of history.

Tennis Club --- Birmingham

Edgbaston Tennis Club opened in 1860 and is the oldest tennis club in the world. Visitors can see the club’s collection of tennis clothes and equipment and learn about the game’s rich history.

Ardman Animation --- Bristol

The studios that produced the famous Wallace and Gromit animated films open its doors to the public to let people find out more about how the films are made.

Paddock Wood --- Kent

A family house where some of the rooms are unchanged since the 1920s. The home’s owner, Sarah Hamilton, is happy to open her doors to the public, saying “I’m passionate about history and I love taking to people.”
