Traditional economics says that people are【C2】______ beings who will lie if it’s【C3】______their advantage.

Because they were on the phone, they knew there was no【C7】______of getting caught if they lied. And yet people revealed the truth【C8】______they would receive nothing. Over hundreds of tosses a coin will land tails-up【C9】______50% of the time. In this study over half the people(55. 6%)asked said that the coin landed heads-up. Most of diem didn’t pursue the reward at the【C10】______of honesty.
Previous studies had found mat people were more【C11】______. In those laboratory studies 75% of people,【C12】______some who faked the results, reported a winning coin and claimed a reward.

In fact, both types of study show people are surprisingly【C16】______. Even in me laboratory, 25% of people【C17】______a reward by telling the truth. The researchers say this is because honesty is highly valued and people deem honesty is me【C18】______for doing everything well. We care about our reputation and our sense of ourselves as【C19】______people. So lying has a psychological cost and it seems mis cost【C20】______ the financial benefits of lying. [br] 【C10】
选项
A、sense
B、abuse
C、sacrifice
D、exchange
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:他们当中大多数人不会以诚实为代价来获取奖品。根据本句提供的语境,人们不愿以诚实为代价换奖品,选择[C]sacrifice“牺牲”。sense“感觉”;abuse“滥用;恶习”;exchange“交换”,均不符合上下文语境,所以排除。
