alarmingly common
in published research，according to David Vaux，a cell biologist. Researchers should improve their standards, he
wrote in 2012，but journals should also take a tougher line，engaging reviewers who are statistically literate and
editors who can verify the process.Vaux says that Sciences idea to pass some papers to statisticians has some
merit，but a weakness is that it relies on the board of reviewing editors to identifythe papers that need scrutinyin the first place.

Two years ago. Rupert Murdochs daughter, spoke at the unsettling dearth of integrity across so many of our
collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the mechanismin society should be profit and the
market we the people who create the society we want, not profit. 31
Driving her point home, she continuedIts increasingly absence of purpose，of a moral language with in
government, could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom. This same absence of
moral purpose was wounding companies, such as International, she thought, making it more likely that it would
fore had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.
As the hacking trial concludes-finding guilty one ex-editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, for
conspiring to hack phones, and finding the predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent of the same charge-the wide
dearth of integrity still stands. Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people. This is
hacking on an industrial scale, as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by the News of the
World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking. Others await trial. This long story still unfolds.
In many respects, the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but
the terms on which the trial took place. One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew
of what went on in her newsroom, how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the
stories arrived. The core of her successful defence was that she knew nothing.
In todays world, it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in
the organizations that they run. Perhaps we should not be so surprised. For a generation, the collective doctrine
has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit. The words that have mattered are efficiency,
flexibility, shareholder value, business-friendly, wealth generation, sales, impact and, in newspapers, circulation.
Words degraded to the margin have been justice, fairness, tolerance, proportionality and accountability.
The purpose of editing the News of the World was not to promote reader understanding, to be
fair in what was
written or to betray any common humanity. It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact. Ms
Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories, but she asked no
questions, gave no instructions-nor received traceable, recorded answers.
36. Accordign to the first two graphs, Elisabeth was upset by
(A) the consequences of the current sorting mechanism.
(B) companies financial loss due to immoral practices
(C) governmental ineffectiveness on moral issues.
(D) the wide misuse of integrity among institutions. 32
37. It can be inferred from graph 3 that
(A) Glenn Mulcaire may deny phone hacking as a crime.
(B) more journalists may be found guilty of phone hacking.
(C) Andy Coulson should be held innocent of the charge.
(D) phone hacking will be accepted on certain occasions.
