资料：In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.

Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.

In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.

In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.

What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.

What is the difference between the two examples mentioned in the passage？

A.The participants
B.The wording
C.The background
D.The contents

本题考查细节理解。

【关键词】difference；between the two examples

【主题句】What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences。实验表明，措辞可能会带来潜在的危险后果。

【解析】本题问的是“文章中提到的两个例子，有哪些不同”。文章开头提到一项调查，人们被要求在治疗方法之间做出选择，以拯救600人免于死于一种疾病。举出两种问答方式示例，并以此展开描述。示例一“Participants，including physicians，were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a riskychoice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.”意为“参与者，包括医生，被要求在确定结局及风险选择之间进行选择， 200人将被拯救，或有三分之一的可能性有600人被拯救，三分之二的可能性是没有人会被拯救。”示例二“In a second example，the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.”意为“在第二个例子中，这组人同样被要求做出选择，400人会死，或者有三分之一的可能没有人会死，三分之二的可能是600人会死。”选项A意为“参与者”，选项B意为“措辞”，选项C意为“背景”，选项D意为“内容”，结合文章及主题句，故选B。
