2、ifer Stellar sought to determine the empathic（感情移入的） capacities of a group of 300 college students, who had been hand-selected for maximum economic diversity. As a rule, college students have just one income level: poor. Stellar thus chose her subjects based on the income of the people who respond t
3、o the requests and write the checks: the parents.In the first of three experiments, she had 148 of her subjects fill out reports how often they experience emotions such as joy, love, compassion and horror. She also had them agree or disagree with statements like “I often notice people who need help.
4、” When the numbers on these lists were processed, Stellar found no meaningful personality differences among the students that could be attributable to income except one: across the board, the lower the subjects family income, the higher their score on compassion.The second study involved 64 subjects
5、 who watched two videos an emotionally neutral instructional video on construction techniques, and a far more charged one that involved real families coping with a cancer-stricken child. Again, the subjects filled out emotional lists and again they scored similarly. But the lower-income volunteers c
6、ontinued to come out higher on the compassion-and-empathy scale.During this study, Stellar also used heartbeat monitors to determine their physical reactions to the two videos. There was, not surprisingly, no difference in heart rate when the instructional video was playing, but when the cancer stor
7、ies began, the heartbeats of the lower-income volunteers slowed noticeably a counterintuitive(违反直觉的) sign of caring. An immediate threat to ourselves or another causes heart rate to jump, the better to snap into action to respond to the danger. An emotional crisis can have the opposite physical effe
8、ct on observers helping them settle down to provide the quieter attention that simply listening and comforting requires.In the final part of the study, 106 of the participants were paired off and told to interview each other as if they were applying for a position as lab manager. So that the subject
9、s would have real skin in the game, the ones who performed best in the interviews as judged by Stellar would win a cash prize. All of the subjects reported feeling the same levels of stress or anxiety when they were being interviewed, but only the lower-income subjects were reliably able to detect t
10、he same feelings in their partner when the roles were reversed.So does this mean the rich really cant feel the poor? A low score on the compassion scale doesnt mean a lack of capacity for the feeling, Stellar argues. It may just mean a lack of experience observing and tending to the hardship others.
11、 Perhaps that helps explain why so many wealthy college kids find their way into the Peace Corps and other volunteer groups.50. According to the text, which of the following statement is true?A. All the subjects went through all the 3 experiments.B. Stellar carefully chose 300 college students accor

Come to experience hardships BParents divorced, little Buddy was in the care of his mothers large Alabama family. Over the years, Buddy seldom saw either
16、of his parents. But he was happy where he was and he had many kindly relatives, among whom Miss Sook was by far his best friend. Before Christmas, Buddys father had managed to get legal custody(法定监护) of him for this Christmas. So, he had a new suit, with a card pinned with his name and address and m
17、ade the trip alone, by bus, to New Orleans.Several things occurred that kept me awake the whole night. First, the footfalls, the noise of my father running up and down the stairs, breathing heavily, I had to see what he was up to. So I hid and watched. There was a Christmas tree and the fireplace do
18、wnstairs. Moreover, I could see my father. He was crawling around under the tree arranging a pyramid of packages. I felt dizzy, for what I saw forced me to reconsider everything. If these were presents intended for me, then obviously they had not been ordered by the Lord and delivered by Santa Claus
19、; no, they were gifts bought and wrapped by my father. Which meant that my rotten little cousin Billy Bob and other rotten kids like him werent lying when they laughed at me and told me there was no Santa Claus. The worst thought was: Had Sook known the truth, and lied to me? No, Sook would never li
20、e to me. She believed. It was just thatwell, though she was sixty-something, in some ways she was at least as much of a child as I was. I waited until I was sure he was in bed and sound asleep. Then I crept downstairs and examined the tags attached to each of the packages. They all said: “For Buddy.
21、” I decided to open the packages: It was Christmas morning. I was awake, so why not? I wont bother to describe what was inside them: just shirts and sweaters and dull stuff like that. The only thing I appreciated was a toy gun. Somehow I got the idea it would be fun to waken my father by firing it.
22、So I did. Bang. Bang. Bang. He raced out of his room, wild-eyed, Bang. Bang. Bang. “Buddywhat the hell do you think youre doing? Bang. Bang. Bang. “Stop that!” I laughed. “ Look, Daddy. Look at all wonderful things Santa Claus brought me.” Calm now, he walked into the room and hugged me. “You like w
23、hat Santa Claus brought you?” I smiled at him. He smiled at me. There was a tender lingering(逗留不去的) moment, damaged when I said: “Yes. But what are you going to give me, Daddy?” His smile evaporated. His eyes narrowed suspiciouslyyou could see that he thought I was pulling some kind of trick. But th
24、en he blushed, as though he was ashamed to be thinking what he was thinking. He patted my head, and coughed and said: “Well, I thought Id wait and let you pick out something you wanted. Is there anything particular you want?” I reminded him of the airplane we had seen in the toy store on Canal Stree
25、t. His face sagged. Oh, yes, he remembered the airplane and how expensive it was. Nevertheless, the next day I was sitting in that airplane dreaming I was zooming toward heaven while my father wrote out a check for a happy salesman, who promised to help ship the plane on the bus. But I wasnt free of
26、 New Orleans yet. The problem was a large bottle of wine; maybe it was because of my departure, but anyway my father had been drinking it all day, and on the way to the bus station, he scared me by grabbing my wrist and harshly whispering: “Im not going to let you go. I cant let you go back to that
27、crazy family in that crazy old house. Just look at what theyve done to you. A boy six, almost seven, talking about Santa Claus! Its all their fault, all those sour old spinsters with their Bibles and their knitting needles, those drunken uncles. Listen to me, Buddy. There is no God! There is no Sant
28、a Claus.” He was squeezing my wrist so hard that it ached. “Kiss me. Please. Please. Kiss me. Tell your daddy that you love him.” But I couldnt speak. I was terrified I was going to miss my bus. And I was worried about my plane, which was strapped to the top of the taxi. “Say it: I love you. Say it.
29、 Please. Buddy. Say it.” It was lucky for me that our taxi-driver was a good-hearted man. Because if it hadnt been for his help, and the help of some efficient porters and a friendly policeman, I dont know what would have happened when we reached the station. My father was so drunk he could hardly w
30、alk, but the policeman talked to him, quieted him down, helped him to stand straight, and the taxi-man promised to take him safely home. But my father would not leave until he had seen the porters put me on the bus. Once I was on the bus, I crouched in a seat and shut my eyes. I felt the strangest p
31、ain. A crushing pain that hurt everywhere. I thought if I took off my heavy city shoes, those crucifying monsters, the agony would ease. I took them off, but the mysterious pain did not leave me. In a way it never has; never will. Twelve hours later I was home in bed. The room was dark. Sook was sit
32、ting beside me, rocking in a rocking chair, a sound as soothing（令人舒畅的）as ocean waves. I had tried to tell her everything that had happened, and only stopped when I was hoarse（嘶哑的）as a howling dog. She stroked her fingers through my hair, and said: “Of course there is a Santa Clause. Its just that no
33、 single somebody could do all he has to do. So the Lord has spread the task among us all. Thats why everybody is Santa Claus. I am. You are. Even you cousin Billy Bob. Now go to sleep. Count stars. Think of the quietest thing. Like snow. Im sorry you didnt get to see any. But now snow is falling thr
34、ough the stars” Stars sparkled, snow whirled inside my head; the last thing I remembered was the peaceful voice of the Lord telling me something I must do. And the next day I did it. I went with Sook to the post office and bought a penny postcard. That same postcard exists today. It was found in my
