问题     Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group organization and attitudes.
    In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual unite. The group contains nearly all of each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member. There is an interlocking identity of individual, group, and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.
    While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation.
    In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work. The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic; the organization is loose and fragile. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals; it breaks down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship. [br] According to the passage, why do people join groups that practice secondary cooperation?
选项 A、To share the happiness with others.
B、To get rewards for themselves.
C、To associate with people who have similar backgrounds.
D、To defeat a common enemy.
答案 B
解析 推断题型。见第三段倒数第二句：Members perform tasks so that they can separatelyenjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary，prestige，or power．加入第二级合作的小组成员完成任务的目的是他们均能分别享受到合作的成果；而这种成果是以薪水、威望和权利的形式体现的。由此可推断出选项B是正确答案。
