Directions: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for each question.Craftsman’s spirit, as its name implies, is the spirit of striving hard to offer high-quality products and outstanding services for the benefit of the clients. It’s crucial to the success of individuals and companies. Thousands of jobs, with no exception whatsoever.I have been in a factory for 6 years. The first job after entering the factory was sampling, which was mainly providing experimental materials for the experimenters. At that time, I felt that I was engaged in a monotonous (单调的) job that did not require any skills. I called myself a porter. And I didn’t realize the importance of sampling until I became an experimenter. Since only representative samples are taken, the test results will be more valuable.In the past six years, every job adjustment has been a challenge for me. The new start means a new journey, but no matter how the position changes, I always keep a consistent attitude towards work. I’m surrounded by a lot of employees who have been working for more than 20 years. They are devoting themselves to every task they do in an extraordinary position unknown to the public. This spirit is worthy of my learning.Carrying forward the spirit of craftsmanship will never go out of style in any era. We need to take work and study seriously and strive to become craftsmen of all kinds in the new era.Why did the author realize the importance of sampling later?A. Because he began to love sampling.A.Because only representative samples are taken, the test results will be more valuable.C. Because he would be fired if he didn’t take sampling seriously.D. Because the sampling was not a boring job.

Prosocial behaviors are those intended to help other people. Behaviors that can be described as prosocial include feeling empathy（同感） and concern for others and behaving in ways to help or benefit other people. Prosocial behavior has long posed a challenge to social scientists seeking to understand why people engage in helping behaviors that are beneficial to others， but costly to the individual performing the action. Why would people do something that benefits someone else but offers no immediate benefit to the doer？ Psychologists suggest that there are a number of reasons why people engage in prosocial behavior. In many cases， such behaviors are fostered during childhood and adolescence as adults encourage children to share， act kindly， and help others. Prosocial behaviors are often seen as being compelled by a number of factors including egoistic reasons （doing things to improve one's self-image）， reciprocal benefits （doing something nice for someone so that they may one day return the favor）， and more altruistic reasons （performing actions purely out of empathy for another individual）. Characteristics of the situation can also have a powerful impact on whether or not people engage in prosocial actions. The bystander effect is one of the most notable examples of how the situation can impact helping behaviors. The bystander effect refers to the tendency for people to become less likely to assist a person indistress when there are a number of other people also present. For example， if you drop your purse and several items fall out on the ground， the likelihood that someone will stop and help you decreases if there are many other people present. This same sort of thing can happen in cases where someone is in serious danger， such as when someone is involved in a car accident. In some cases， witnesses might assume that since there are so many other present， someone else will have surely already called for help. Why do people help in some situations but not in others？ Experts have discovered a number of different situational variables that contribute to （and sometimes interfere with） prosocial behaviors. First， the more people that are present decreases the amount of personal responsibility people feel in a situation. People also tend to look to others for how to respond in such situations， particularly if the event contains some level of ambiguity. Fear of being judged by other members of the group also plays a role. People sometimes fear leaping to assistance， only to discover that their help was unwanted or unwarranted. In order to avoid being judged by other bystanders， people simply take no action. Experts have suggested that some key things must happen in order for a person to take action.（1）Prosocial behaviors are motivated for all the following reasons EXCEPT ____ .A. empathy for another individualB. instant benefits of helping othersC. parental influences in the early lifeD. the desire to better one's self-image（2）What does the underlined word "distress" in the fourth paragraph mean？ ____ A. peaceB. despairC. comfortD. trouble（3）Which situation can be described as the bystander effect？ ____ A.
