Three American psychologists did a research study several years ago on what Americans value most. In the study, eighteen values were asked to put in the order of importance. The result is as follows:
I. family security 2. a world at peace
3. freedom 4. self-respect
5. happiness 6. wisdom
7. a sense of accomplishment 8. a comfortable life
9. true friendship 10. salvation(拯救)in the religious sense
11. inner harmony 12. equality
13. national security 14. mature love
15. a world of beauty 16. pleasure
17. an exciting life 18. social recognition
Are you surprised that Americans place their values in this way? Did you think they would put their values in a different order? I would have thought love and friendship might have come higher on this list. As you can see, several of these values are closely related to each other and are dependent upon each other. In other words, we cannot have 1 -family security without 2 a world at peace, and 3 national security.
The results of the study showed that people who placed equality high up on their list of values were those who had positive attitudes towards persons of other races and who supported civil rights activity, especially the work of Martin Luther King Jr.
Another interesting finding in this study was that eleven -year-old children ranked a world of beauty 7 th in importance, but fifteen-year old children ranked a world of beauty 14 th and adults ranked it 17th. Well, what does it mean? Probably it means that as people grow older and take on more responsibilities in their work and with their own families, that appreciating beauty move-back into the background of their lives. What a pity! Children have more time to enjoy beauty and Nature.
Philosophers, psychologists and religious people have always been very much concerned with values. After all, values represent what we each hold most dear to ourselves and to our society. Societies establish their own forms of government based on the collective values of the people, or at least they try to do so.
Which of the following is NOT true?
选项

B、Psychologists got some interesting results from this study.
C、Family security and a world at peace are dependent upon each other.
D、People’s concepts of values play an essential role in the formation of their government system.
