Successful people are nicer to those who are jealous of them, psychologists have found.
　　　The fear that they may become the target of malicious（恶意的）envy makes people act more helpfully toward people who they think might be jealous of them.

　　　Then the volunteer was asked to give time-consuming advice to a potentially envious person.People who had reason to think they would be the target of malicious envy were more likely to take the time to give advice than targets of benign envy.
　　　In another experiment, an experimenter dropped a number of erasers on the floor as the volunteer was leaving.54--------　He said: 'This sort of serves a useful group function.

Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, 　 1　 unusual night has a different meaning: helping beggars and the homeless.

Cai, a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. 　2　 she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, 　3 (give) the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves.

The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “ 4 the first time I feel respected”.

Cai said, “A beggar’s life is even 5　 　(hard) today. That’s why I want to help them.”

They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer 　 6　 some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them 7 a look of surprise.

“I know the 　 8 (active) can’t help much, but it is meant 　 9　 (show) our respect and care for beggars and the homeless 　 10　 have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group.
