Host: Today, we're talking about a very interesting experiment to find the most and least honest cities in the world. It involved journalists travelling to sixteen cities and losing twelve wallets in each city, then waiting to see how many people returned them in each place. Our presenter Oliver has got the results. So, Oliver, which was the most honest city?

Oliver: Well, in first place was Helsinki in Finland. People returned eleven of the twelve wallets. A businessman who found the wallet in the city center, said that Finnish people were naturally honest. He said there was very little corruption in Finland and that people didn't even drive through red traffic lights.

Host: Really? And, uh, the least honest?

Oliver: Well, I was quite surprised by this, but the least honest city in sixteenth place was Lisbon in Portugal. Only one person phoned to say they'd found the wallet. And he wasn't Portuguese, he was a sixty-year-old tourist from Holland.

Host: Interesting. What other results surprised you?

Oliver: Well, I expected richer cities, cities with a higher standard of living, to be more honest than poorer ones, but this wasn't necessarily true. The city that came second in the experiment was Mumbai in India. People returned nine out of the twelve wallets. One of them was a young mother. She took it to a post office and she said, 'I teach my children to be honest, just like my parents taught me.'

Host: Oh. And which city came next?

Oliver: In joint third place were New York and Budapest. People gave back eight wallets in both places.

Host: And then?

Oliver: Moscow and Amsterdam came joint fifth. In both places seven out of twelve wallets were returned. And people gave lovely reasons for returning them. In Moscow, a woman said, 'I think that people need to help each other, and if I can make someone a little happier, I want to do it.' And in Amsterdam, a man said, 'My wife once lost her wallet. It was found and returned, so I wanted to do the same.'

Host: Hm. I noticed my home city, London, is on the list. How did it do?

Oliver: London was somewhere in the middle, joint ninth with Warsaw. Just five of the wallets were returned in each place. Interestingly, one of the people who returned a wallet in London was a Polish woman. When she found the wallet, she gave it to her boss. He, her boss, said to her, 'If you find money, you can't be sure it belongs to a rich man. It might be the last bit of money a mother has to feed her family.'

Host: Oh, I think that's fantastic advice. So, were there any general conclusions? What did the experiment prove?

Oliver: Forty-seven percent of the wallets were returned, so that's nearly half. And when we looked through the results, we found that you couldn't predict who was going to be honest or dishonest. There was no common factor. Young people and old people both kept or returned wallets. Men and women both kept or returned wallets. And as I said before, it didn't make any difference whether a city was rich or poor. So, our conclusion was that there are honest and dishonest people everywhere.

Host: Today, we're talking about a very interesting experiment to find the most and least honest cities in the world.
Сегодня мы поговорим об очень интересном эксперименте по выявлению самых честных и самых нечестных городов мира. It involved journalists travelling to sixteen cities and losing twelve wallets in each city, then waiting to see how many people returned them in each place.
Журналисты отправились в шестнадцать городов, потеряв по двенадцать кошельков в каждом, а затем ждали, чтобы увидеть, сколько людей вернут их в каждом месте. Our presenter Oliver has got the results.
Наш ведущий Оливер получил результаты. So, Oliver, which was the most honest city?
Итак, Оливер, какой город оказался самым честным?

Oliver: Well, in first place was Helsinki in Finland.
Что ж, на первом месте оказался Хельсинки в Финляндии. People returned eleven of the twelve wallets.
Люди вернули одиннадцать из двенадцати кошельков. A businessman who found the wallet in the city center, said that Finnish people were naturally honest.
Бизнесмен, нашедший кошелек в центре города, сказал, что финны от природы честны. He said there was very little corruption in Finland and that people didn't even drive through red traffic lights.
Он сказал, что в Финляндии очень мало коррупции и что люди даже не проезжают на красный свет.

Host: Really?
Правда? And, uh, the least honest?
А, э-э, наименее честный?

Oliver: Well, I was quite surprised by this, but the least honest city in sixteenth place was Lisbon in Portugal.
Ну, я был довольно удивлен этим, но самым нечестным городом, занявшим шестнадцатое место, стал Лиссабон в Португалии. Only one person phoned to say they'd found the wallet.
Только один человек позвонил, чтобы сказать, что нашел кошелек. And he wasn't Portuguese, he was a sixty-year-old tourist from Holland.
И он был не португалец, а шестидесятилетний турист из Голландии.

Host: Interesting.
Интересно. What other results surprised you?
Какие еще результаты вас удивили?

Oliver: Well, I expected richer cities, cities with a higher standard of living, to be more honest than poorer ones, but this wasn't necessarily true.
Что ж, я ожидал, что более богатые города, города с более высоким уровнем жизни, будут честнее, чем более бедные, но это оказалось не совсем так. The city that came second in the experiment was Mumbai in India.
Городом, занявшим второе место в эксперименте, был Мумбаи в Индии. People returned nine out of the twelve wallets.
Люди вернули девять из двенадцати кошельков. One of them was a young mother.
Одной из них была молодая мать. She took it to a post office and she said, 'I teach my children to be honest, just like my parents taught me.'
Она отнесла его на почту и сказала: «Я учу своих детей быть честными, точно так же, как мои родители учили меня».

Host: Oh.
О. And which city came next?
А какой город был следующим?

Oliver: In joint third place were New York and Budapest.
На совместном третьем месте оказались Нью-Йорк и Будапешт. People gave back eight wallets in both places.
В обоих местах люди вернули по восемь кошельков.

Host: And then?
А потом?

Oliver: Moscow and Amsterdam came joint fifth.
Москва и Амстердам заняли совместное пятое место. In both places seven out of twelve wallets were returned.
В обоих местах было возвращено семь из двенадцати кошельков. And people gave lovely reasons for returning them.
И люди приводили прекрасные причины для их возвращения. In Moscow, a woman said, 'I think that people need to help each other, and if I can make someone a little happier, I want to do it.'
В Москве одна женщина сказала: «Я думаю, что людям нужно помогать друг другу, и если я могу сделать кого-то чуточку счастливее, я хочу это сделать». And in Amsterdam, a man said, 'My wife once lost her wallet.
А в Амстердаме один мужчина сказал: «Моя жена однажды потеряла кошелек. It was found and returned, so I wanted to do the same.'
Его нашли и вернули, поэтому я хотел сделать то же самое».

Host: Hm.
Хм. I noticed my home city, London, is on the list.
Я заметил, что мой родной город, Лондон, есть в списке. How did it do?
Как он показал себя?

Oliver: London was somewhere in the middle, joint ninth with Warsaw.
Лондон оказался где-то посередине, на совместном девятом месте с Варшавой. Just five of the wallets were returned in each place.
В каждом из этих мест было возвращено всего по пять кошельков. Interestingly, one of the people who returned a wallet in London was a Polish woman.
Интересно, что одной из тех, кто вернул кошелек в Лондоне, была полька. When she found the wallet, she gave it to her boss.
Когда она нашла кошелек, она отдала его своему начальнику. He, her boss, said to her, 'If you find money, you can't be sure it belongs to a rich man.
Он, ее начальник, сказал ей: «Если вы находите деньги, вы не можете быть уверены, что они принадлежат богатому человеку. It might be the last bit of money a mother has to feed her family.'
Это может быть последняя сумма денег, которая есть у матери, чтобы прокормить свою семью».

Host: Oh, I think that's fantastic advice.
О, я думаю, это фантастический совет. So, were there any general conclusions?
Итак, были ли какие-то общие выводы? What did the experiment prove?
Что доказал эксперимент?

Oliver: Forty-seven percent of the wallets were returned, so that's nearly half.
Было возвращено сорок семь процентов кошельков, то есть почти половина. And when we looked through the results, we found that you couldn't predict who was going to be honest or dishonest.
И когда мы проанализировали результаты, мы обнаружили, что невозможно предсказать, кто будет честным, а кто нечестным. There was no common factor.
Не было никакого общего фактора. Young people and old people both kept or returned wallets.
Молодые и пожилые люди как оставляли, так и возвращали кошельки. Men and women both kept or returned wallets.
Мужчины и женщины как оставляли, так и возвращали кошельки. And as I said before, it didn't make any difference whether a city was rich or poor.
И, как я уже говорил, не имело значения, был ли город богатым или бедным. So, our conclusion was that there are honest and dishonest people everywhere.
Итак, наш вывод состоял в том, что честные и нечестные люди есть повсюду.

3 LISTENING

a Read about a recent experiment. Then cover the text and in your own words explain how the experiment worked.

What are the most (and least) honest cities in the world?
Reader's Digest organized an experiment to try to find out...

Their reporters 'lost' 12 wallets in 16 cities around the world. They left the wallets in different areas of each of the chosen cities, places like shopping malls, or in parks, or on the pavement. In each wallet there was the equivalent of 50 dollars in local currency, a family photo, and a couple of business cards with a name and phone number. A reporter waited somewhere near each wallet to see what happened. Another reporter answered the phone when people called to report the lost wallet, and then met the people and asked them why they returned the wallet.

b Look at the 16 cities from the experiment. Which do you think was the most honest? Which do you think was the least?

AmsterdamLisbonMumbaiZurich
BerlinLjubljanaNew York
BudapestLondonPrague
BucharestMadridRio de Janeiro
HelsinkiMoscowWarsaw

Ranking things in order
Things are normally ranked from first to last. If two things have the same ranking, e.g. if they are both second, they are called joint second, etc. USA won the most Olympic medals. China and Germany were joint second (= they won the same number of medals).

c 5.13 Listen to a reporter talking about the results of the experiment. Rank the nine cities he mentions in the correct order in b.

d Listen again for more details. Answer the questions.

1 In which city did someone say...?

a his wife once lost her wallet

b people in his country were very honest

c people need to help each other

d she teaches her children to be honest

e you can never know if the wallet belongs to a poor person

2 What percentage of the wallets were returned? Did the people who gave them back have anything in common?

e Think about your city or the nearest big city to where you live. In this experiment, do you think it would come in the top three, in the bottom three, or somewhere in the middle? Why?

5.13

I = Interviewer, O = Oliver

I: Today we're talking about a very interesting experiment to find the most and least honest cities in the world. It involved journalists travelling to 16 cities and 'losing' 12 wallets in each city, then waiting to see how many people returned them in each place. Our presenter Oliver has got the results. So, Oliver, which was the most honest city?

O: Well, in first place was Helsinki, in Finland. People returned 11 of the 12 wallets. A businessman, who found the wallet in the city centre, said that Finnish people were naturally honest. He said there was very little corruption in Finland, and that people didn't even drive through red traffic lights!

I: Really? And the least honest?

O: Well, I was quite surprised by this, but the least honest city, in 16th place, was Lisbon in Portugal. Only one person phoned to say they'd found the wallet. And he wasn't Portuguese, he was a 60-year-old tourist from Holland.

I: Interesting! What other results surprised you?

O: Well, I expected richer cities, cities with a higher standard of living, to be more honest than poorer ones, but this wasn't necessarily true. The city that came second in the experiment was Mumbai in India – people returned 9 out of the 12 wallets. One of them was a young mother. She took it to a post office and she said 'I teach my children to be honest, just like my parents taught me.'

I: And which city came next?

O: In joint third place were New York and Budapest. People gave back 8 wallets in both places.

I: And then?

O: Moscow and Amsterdam came joint 5th. In both places 7 out of 12 wallets were returned. And people gave lovely reasons for returning them. In Moscow a woman said 'I think that people need to help each other, and if I can make someone a little happier, I want to do it.' And in Amsterdam a man said 'My wife once lost her wallet. It was found and returned. So I wanted to do the same.'

I: I notice my home city, London, is on the list. How did it do?

O: London was somewhere in the middle, joint 9th with Warsaw. Just 5 of the wallets were returned in each place. Interestingly one of the people who returned a wallet in London was a Polish woman. When she found the wallet, she gave it to her boss. He – her boss – said to her, 'if you find money you can't be sure it belongs to a rich man – it might be the last bit of money a mother has to feed her family.'

I: I think that's fantastic advice. So were there any general conclusions? What did the experiment prove?

O: 47 per cent of the wallets were returned, so that's nearly half. And when we looked through the results we found that you couldn't predict who was going to be honest or dishonest. There was no common factor. Young people and old people both kept or returned wallets; men and women both kept or returned wallets; and as I said before, it didn't make any difference whether a city was rich or poor. So our conclusion was that there are honest and dishonest people everywhere.
