Everyone knows that the French are romantic , the Italian are fashionable and the Germans are serious . Or do they ? Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character ? And if there is , can it affect how a nation succeed or fail ?
At least one group of people is certain that it can . A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public .
Britain is hostile to success , they said . It has a culture of jealousy (嫉妒) . As a result , the survey said , entrepreneurs were “unloved , unwanted and misunderstood” . Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green-eyed monster” and the UK is its home . Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea . They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money . Some were given a little , others a great deal . Those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to others—but at the cost of losing their own . Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this .
This seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain . But there is also conflicting evidence . The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently reported that the UK was now the world’s fourth largest economy .That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success . People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe . So the British people are not lazy , either .
“It’s not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper , a Professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology . “It’s people using their success in a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots .”
Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem . They set out to do things in their way . They work long hours . By their own efforts they become millionaires . But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them . It hardly seems worth following their example . If they were more friendly , people would like them more . And more people want to be like them .

A.they are not popular simply because they are successful

A.Two thirds of the people tested didn’t love money
B.Most people would rather fail than see others succeed
C.An imaginary amount of money does not attract people
D.Most people are willing to enjoy success with others

A.jealousy is Britain’s national character
B.British entrepreneurs are not fairly treated
C.the scientists are Warwich University did a successful test
D.the British dislike the entrepreneurs because they do not behave properly
C
A Battery’s Worst Nightmare (噩梦)
Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as good as their batteries and , let’s face it , batteries aren’t very good , especially when compared with , say , petrol , which packs 100 times a battery’s energy into an equal space . That’s why a large group of mechanical engineers ( centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , but with partners at other universities and companies ) are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel . Imagine a battery-free life ! When the fuel runs out in your laptop or mobile phone , you just fill up and go .
The engine—about the size of a ten-cent coin-starts with a combustion chamber (燃烧室) that burns hydrogen (氢). Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits (集成电路). The first engine is made up of five wafers . And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips , they could probably be produced quite cheaply .
But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency (效率). Tiny engine parts don’t always behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine . Something between the parts can slow down the works , according to Columbia University professor Luc Frechette , one of the engine’s designers . Extreme heat from the combustion chamber is also a problem , often leaking to other parts of the engine .
The scientists’ goal is to create an engine that will operate at 10 percent efficiency—that is , 10 times better than batteries operate . Frechette says that a complete system , with all parts of place and working , will be set up in the next couple of years , but commercial models aren’t likely until at least the end of the next ten years .
