Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious．Are these just stereotypes(模式化观念或形象)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(企业家)in the UK found that 70％ felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public．Britain is hostile(敌意的)to success, they said．It has a culture of jealousy．(嫉妒) 1 ．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． 2 ．Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others－but at the cost of losing their own．Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this．
3 ．But there is also conflicting evidence．The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is 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 is 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 proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots．”
4 ．They set out to do things in their ways．They work long hours．By their own efforts they become millionaires． 5 ．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．This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain．
B．The one who owns most money in the end is the winner．
C．As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood．”
D．It is not true that British people are born jealous of others success．
E．Some were given a little, others a great deal．
F．But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them．
G．Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem．

In the very early 1800’ s, a young boy about 14 years old named John lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) in Old England along with several other children. Orphan meant unwanted and unloved.
Christmas was the one day of the year when the children didn’t work and received a gift, an orange. Usually they tried to taste and preserve it for so long that it often rotted before they ever peeled(剥开)it to enjoy the sweet juice. Many thought were expressed as Christmas time approached. The children would say, “I will keep mine the longest.” John usually slept with his next to his pillow. This year John was overjoyed by the Christmas season. He was becoming a man and stronger and soon he would be old enough to leave. He would save his orange until his birthday in July.
Christmas day finally came. The children were so excited as they entered the big dining hall. Immediately the master shouted, “John, leave the hall and there will be no orange for you this year.” John’s heart broke violently wide open. He turned and went swiftly back to the cold room. Then he heard the door open and each of the children entered. Little Elizabeth with her hair falling over her shoulders, a smile on her face, and tears in her eyes held out a piece of rag to John. “Here John,” she said, “this is for you.” As he lifted back the edges of the rag he saw a big juicy orange all peeled and quartered and then he realized what they had done.
John never forgot the sharing, love and personal sacrifice his friends had shown him that Christmas day. In memory of that day every year he would send oranges all over the world to children everywhere.
