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？A.The participants
B.The wording
C.The background
D.The contents

第一篇From Ponzi to MadoffThe year was 1920.The country was the United States of America. The man's name was Charles Ponzi. Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead,they should give it to him to save for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example,a savings account might pay you$5 a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi,however,would pay you $40 a year for every $ 100 you gave him to hold.Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.How could Ponzi make so much money for people?This is what he did with the money people gave him: He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However,he also kept a lot of the money for himself. Soon he had $ 250 million.This was a kind of theft,and it was against the law. The people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month,just like a bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day,he didn'thave enough money to pay all the people.They discovered his crime,and he went to prison for fraud.Ninety years later,people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff. People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money,he paid them a lot more than the bank.Madoff helped hospitals,schools,and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40 years,people gave him$170 billion.However,no one investigated what he did with the money.The people who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.One day,Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That's when people discovered how Madoff worked:He was taking money from some people to pay other people,just the way Charles Fonzi did.However,this time,instead of losing millions of dollars,people lost billions.Madoff was accused of fraud,and the United States government officials arrested him.He didn't have to go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison.Bernard Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi'5.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is clear:When something seems too good to be true,it probably is!Why didn't Madoff have to go on trial?A:The officials couldn'tfind any evidence against him.B:He had friends in the government who helped him.C:He admitted he was guilty.D:He returned all the illegal money.
