Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Whether you are a vegetarian or a meat-eater,carry canvas or plastic,you are one of 7.5 billion people.The effect of your choices on the environment is small.And yet they have a big effect on how others see you,and how you see yourself.Psychologists found that making people worry about social status increased their interest in buying green versus nongreen items-but only if they were shopping in public.People in Washington State were willing to buy the green-signaling Prius over an equally efficient car that didn't broadcast its virtue.Surveys of tens of thousands of British people suggest that green behaviors such as buying recycled products and taking public transit increased life satisfaction-but only in so far as they made people feel green.And feelings can be misleading:Most people who called themselves green never avoided flying.Self-congratulation,moreover,can lead to self-indulgence(自我放纵).When people shopped in a green online store,they felt like they'd done their good deed for the day and were more likely to cheat or steal in a subsequent task-an effect psychologists call "moral licensing,"Similarly,getting weekly feedback on water consumption reduced people's water use by 6 percent,but it increased their electricity use by 5.6 percent-as if they felt that being careful in one area entitled them to relax in another.Trying to bribe people into green behavior may also backfire(适得其反),by crowding out motivations like civic duty.When Swiss people were asked whether they'd support a nuclear-waste facility in their community,thus putting the need for low-carbon power sources ahead of local safety concens,half said yes;when several thousand dollars were offered to sweeten the deal,however,three out of four said no.Not everyone wants to be seen as a tree-hugger(极端环保主义者)、of course.While some people try to look green.others do the opposite -they adopt Earth-unfriendly behaviors so as to avoid appearing green.Men are more likely than women to hide their greenness-maybe because both sexes associate environmentalism with womanhood.In experiments,shoppers who used a canvas versus a plastic bag were rated as more feminine,and men avoided products that were marketed as green--unless their manhood was affirmed first.Given all this,the researchers suggested,environmentalists might want to copy companies that have successfully marketed stereotypically feminine products to men.Why did people in Washington State prefer to buy Prius?
