Reading Comprehension
Read the following article and then answer the questions in Part 1 and 2:
The Personality of Drivers or Expensive Cars
The science is looking pretty unanimous on this one: Drivers of expensive cars are the worst. A new study has found that drivers of flashy vehicles are less likely to stop and allow pedestrians to cross the road — with the likelihood they’ll slow down decreasing by 3% for every extra $1,000 that their vehicle is worth. Researchers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas speculated that the expensive car owners “felt a sense of superiority over other road users” and were less able to empathize with lowly sidewalk-dwellers. They came to this conclusion after asking volunteers to cross a sidewalk hundreds of times, filming and analyzing the responses by car drivers.
Researchers used one white and one black man, and one white and one black woman — also finding that cars were more likely to yield for the white and female participants. Vehicles stopped 31% of the time for both women and white participants, compared with 24% of the time for men and 25% of the time for black volunteers. But the best predictor of whether a car would stop was its cost, researchers discovered. “Disengagement and a lower ability to interpret thoughts and feelings of others along with feelings of entitlement and narcissism may lead to a lack of empathy for pedestrians” among costly car owners, they theorized in the study.
And the discovery of a car-value-to-jerkish-behavior correlation isn’t new; the research, published in the Journal of Transport and Health, backed up a Finnish study published last month that found that men who own flashy vehicles are more likely to be “argumentative, stubborn, disagreeable and unempathetic.” According to that survey of 1,892 drivers by the University of Helsinki, those deemed to have more disagreeable character traits were “more drawn to high-status cars.”
But it also found that conscientious people often favor higher-priced vehicles, too. If you’re reading this while stuck in traffic in your brand-new BMW: yes, you’re definitely in that category.
1. According to the research mentioned in this article, drivers of expensive cars ______________.
?      did not stop as often for pedestrians as drivers of cheaper cars
?      respected pedestrians as much as the others did
?      often yelled at pedestrians from their cars
2. The research found that _______________.
?      drivers stopped more often for white pedestrians
?      drivers stopped more often for black pedestrians
?      race was not a significant factor
3. The Finnish study from a month ago _______________.
?      looked at how often drivers stopped for pedestrians
?      was funded by the University of Nevada
?      analyzed the personality of drivers of expensive cars
4. The Finnish study did NOT conclude that drivers of expensive cars were generally more ______________.
?      stubborn
?      empathetic
?      argumentative
5. The two studies seem to agree that drivers of expensive cars ______________.
?      make more money than most people
?      are not very nice
?      don’t like to follow rules
