15、d in separate rooms. one is randomly chosen to propose how a sum of money, known to both, should be shared between them; only one offer, which must be accepted or rejected without negotiation, is allowed. if, in fact, people are selfish and rational, then the proposer should offer the smallest possi

16、ble share, while the responder should accept any offer, (20) no matter how small: after all, even one dollar is better than nothing. in numerous trials, however, two-thirds of the offers made were between 40 and 50 percent; only 4 percent were less than 20 percent. among responders, more than half w

17、ho were offered less than 20 percent rejected the offer. behavior in the game did not appreciably depend on the players sex, age, or education. nor did the amount of money involved play a significant role: for instance, in trials of the game that were conducted in indonesia, the sum to be shared was

18、 as much as three times the subjects average monthly income, and still responders refused offers that they deemed too small.-q6:the primary purpose of the passage is toa. provide evidence in support of the view that human beings are essentially rational and selfishb. use a particular study to challe

26、y of “republican motherhood” resulted in a surge of educational opportunities for women in the united states. kerber maintained that the leaders of the new nation wanted women to be educated in order to raise politically virtuous sons. a virtuous citizenry was considered essential to the success of

27、the countrys republican form of government; virtue was to be instilled not only by churches and schools, but by families, where the mothers role was crucial. thus, according to kerber, motherhood became pivotal to the fate of the republic, providing justification for an unprecedented attention to fe

29、ducational opportunities increased for both girls and boys around 1750. pointing to “an essay on woman” (1753) as reflecting a shift in view, woody also claimed that practical education for females had many advocates before the revolution. woodys evidence challenges the notion that the revolution ch
