The specific cultural values f a cuntry may determine whether cncern abut envirnmental issues actually leads individuals t engage in envirnmentally friendly behavirs, accrding t research published in Psychlgical Science.
Kimin Em, a psychlgical scientist f the University f Califrnia, Santa Barbara, was inspired t investigate the links between culture, envirnmental cncern, and envirnmental actin after nticing that bth public discussin and academic research n envirnmental behavir typically fcus n peple frm Western cuntries. It is wrth nticing because Western cuntries tend t have cultural values that priritize individuals’ wn attitudes and beliefs and encurage expressin f them.
“The thery seemed t be that nce individuals are led t believe in the urgency f envirnmental issues and have strnger cncerns abut sustainability (持续性), they will change and act t address the issues,” explains Em. But this relatinship might nt hld fr individuals living in mre cllectivistic (集体主义的) scieties, which place mre emphasis n scial harmny and unifrmity than n self-expressin, Em and his team assumed.
T examine what drives envirnmental actin in individualistic and cllectivistic cultures, the researchers cnducted a study with participants frm the United States (an individualistic culture) and Japan (a cllectivistic culture). They fund envirnmental cncern was clsely cnnected with envirnmental behavir — in this case, chsing envirnmentally friendly prducts — but nly amng American participants. On the ther hand, believing that a large percentage f peple engage in envirnmentally friendly behavirs was assciated with making ec-friendly chices amng Japanese participants, but nt American participants.
The findings suggest that persnal cncerns are mre likely t mtivate peple t take envirnmental actin if they live in individualistic cuntries, while scial nrms (准则) are mre likely t drive peple t engage in envirnmentally friendly behavir if they live in cllectivistic cuntries.
“Getting citizens actively engaged is critical t addressing urgent scial challenges, such as climate change,” says Em. “Our research suggests that scientists, plicymakers, and activists need t understand hw culture shapes the psychlgical factrs f actin t develp plicies, campaigns, and interventins (干预) that address imprtant scial issues.”
12. What des Em find abut previus research n envirnmental behavir?
A. Its study participants are t limited.
B. Its results need a while t be achieved.
C. It priritizes individuals’ attitudes and beliefs.
D. It draws much evidence frm public discussin.
13. Under which cnditin will a Japanese man mst likely take envirnmental actin?
A. If he sees many thers d s.
B If he is affected by cllectivistic values.
C. If he mves t an individualistic cuntry.
D. If he wrries abut the envirnment persnally.
14. What des Em say abut their research in the last paragraph?
A. It fails t take participants’ psychlgical factrs int accunt.
B. It encurages scientists and plicymakers t make jint effrts.
C. It has a further study directin twards urgent scial challenges.
D. It prvides insights int prmting public engagement in scial issues.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Scial Nrms Play a Part in Addressing Pllutin
B. Envirnmental Issues Originate frm Natinal Cultures
C. Mtivating Ec-Friendly Behavirs Depends n Cultural Values
D. Mre Envirnmental Cncerns Usually Mean Mre Green Actin

At nn that day, I drve back t my huse after the perfrmance. Just as I entered the living rm, I heard a gentle sund cming frm the bedrm upstairs—it was the sund f my favrite vilin.
“Thief!”
I dashed upstairs. Sure enugh, as expected, a by f abut 12 years ld was petting my vilin. The by had messy hair and a thin face, his versized cat seemingly filled with smething. At first glance, I fund a new pair f shes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full f fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile, I asked, “Are yu Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael? I’m his husekeeper. Tw days ag, I heard his nephew living in the cuntryside will cme. It must be yu. Yu’re really like him!”
On hearing my wrds, the by was first astnished, but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gne ut? I think I’d better first g ut fr a walk and visit him again in a while.”
I ndded and asked the by wh was preparing t put dwn the vilin, “D yu like t play the vilin s much?”
“Yes, but I’m s pr that I can’t affrd it,” the by replied.
“Then, I give this vilin t yu.” The by lked at me questiningly, but he picked up the vilin. Ging ut t the living rm, he suddenly saw n the wall my huge clr pht I perfrmed in the Sydney Opera Huse. He invluntarily trembled fr a mment and ran ut withut lking back.
I was sure that the by had understd what happened because n ne wuld decrate the living rm with the husekeeper’s pht.
