46、mayneed. But research suggests the opposite is true：as people climb the social ladder, theircomPaeaionnte（有同情心的）feelings towards other people decline. Berkeley psychologists Paul Piff and Dacher Keltner ran several studies looking at whethersocial class，as measured by wealth，occupation，and education
47、，influences how much peoplecare about the feelings of others. In one study，Piff and his colleagues carefully observed thebehavior of drivers at a busy four-way intersection.

49、h the pedestrian. In order to figure out whether selfishness leads to wealth rather than vice versa，Piff andhis colleagues ran a study where they managed to control peoples class feelings.

50、se off than themselves financially. Afterwards，participants were shown a jar ofcandy and told that they could take home as much as they wanted.

51、etter off they were compared to others ended up takingsignificantly more candy for themselves一leaving less behind for the children.

52、give people, asense of independence from others. The less they have to rely on others，the less they may careabout others feelings. This leads them towards being more self-focused.

E The concept of obtaining fresh water from icebergs that are towed（拖）to populated areasand dry regions of the world was once treated as
65、 a joke more appropriate to cartoons than reallife. But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations，especially since scientistshave warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out offood. Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that have be
66、en overlooked until recently.Three-quarters of the Earth，s fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice，a reservoir ofuntapped fresh water se, immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1，000years. Floating on the oceans every year7,659 trillion metric tons of ice encased in
67、 10,000icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps，more than 90 percent of them from Antarctic. Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergsthroughout the year. Icebergs are not like sea ice，which is formed when the sea itself freezes；rather，they are form
68、ed entirely on the land，breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea. Asthey drift away from the polar region，icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a directionopposite to the wind，pulled by subsurface currents. Because they melt more slowly thansmaller pieces of ice，icebergs have been known to d
69、rift as far north as 35 degrees south ofequator in the Atlantic Ocean. To corral(聚集）them and steer them to parts of the world wherethey are needed would not be too difficult. The difficulty arises in other technical matters，such as the prevention of rapid melting inwarmer climates and the gathering
70、of fresh water to show in great volume. But even if theicebergs lost half their volume in towing，the water they could provide would be far cheaperthan that is produced by desalination, or removing salt from water.67.
