资料：In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.
Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.
In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.
In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.
What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.
What is the difference between the two examples mentioned in the passage？

共用题干第二篇Sino-Japan Animosity（敌意）LessensChinese and Japanese people view each other slightly more positively than last year,according to a survey released on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.The survey is jointly sponsored by China Daily and Genron NPO（非营利性的组织）,a Japanese think tank similar to the American Council on Foreign Relations.It also found an overwhelming agreement in both countries that Sino-Japanese relations were important.The survey is a part of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum,an annual gathering of senior government officials and representatives from Chinese and Japanese NGOs（非政府组织）designed to improve communication and understanding between the Iwo countries.Conducted every year for five years now,the survey focused on two different groups of people:ordinary citizens,and intellectuals.In China,the intellectual group was comprised mainly of university students from well-known schools like Peking University.In Japan,the intellectual group was mainly made up of previous members of Genron NPO.Among ordinary Chinese polled,35.7 percent said they have"very good"or"relatively good" impressions of Japan,a 5.5-percentage-point increase compared with last year. 45.2 percent of Chinese students had a positive impression of Japan,two percentage points more than last year. Only 26.6 percent of Japanese have a positive impression of China,however.Still,an overwhelming majority of the respondents from each country said Sino-Japanese relations were "important"and wanted their leaders to deepen talks and cooperation with each other.But 51.9 percent of ordinary people and 42.4 percent of students in China said they saw no change in relations between the two countries over the last year. In Japan,64.8 percent of those ordinary people and 53.4 percent of intellectuals surveyed shared the view that there was no improvement in bilateral ties thisyear.Historical issues and territorial disputes remain two major obstacles to improving bilateral relations,the survey found.What concerns the Chinese most are historical issues:visits by Japanese officials to YasukuniShrine（靖国神社）,and the Nanjing Massacre（大屠杀）.Perceptions on economic and trade relations have improved,though.About 47 percent of ordinary Japanese said China had been"helpful"this year in fighting the global economic crisis,compared with just 30 percent last year. The percent of Japanese intellectuals who said Chinese economic growth was good for Japan increased from 65.8 percent to 81.4 percent this year.Cooperation in East Asia issues,trade and investment,energy,the environment and climate change top the list of common concerns that people in China and Japan want their leaders to talk about in bilateral meetings,the survey found.Civil exchanges were regarded by most people from both countries as an important way to improve relations.90. 7 percent of the students and 85.7 percent of the ordinary people in China and 95.8% of intellectuals and 74.8% of the ordinary people in Japan viewed civil exchanges as"important"or"relatively important".Chinese and Japanese both learn about each other's country mostly through television news and newspapers,the survey found.Which of the following statements about the survey is true?A:The survey was conducted on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.B:The survey is jointly sponsored by China Daily,Genron NPO and the American Council on Foreign Relations.C:The survey found that people in both China and Japan generally agree that the relationship between the two countries is important.D:The survey mainly focused on two different groups of people:ordinary citizens,and the university students.

资料：Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.Which of the following is NOT true?A.People differ from each in appearanceB.Different people may have different personalitiesC.People can learn to recognize facesD.People can describe all the features of others
资料：In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.In the second example，more people choose the option（ ）？A.with a one-third probability that nobody will dieB.with a two-thirds probability that nobody will be savedC.allowing 400 people to dieD.that 200 people will be saved
