Part IV Chinese-English Translation
(27 Feb news report from American Interesting Science.net) Researchers now found that comparing with the lower-class people, the upper-class are more likely to lie, cheat or commit other unethical conducts. However, scientists also warn that the findings do not mean that all the upper-class people are immoral, or, in another round, all lower-class people are morally good.
Dr. Paul Piff, a psychologist at the University of California in Berkeley, says, “we do not think if you are rich, then you are immoral; or if you’re penniless, then you are morally good. There are lots of examples to illustrate how ethical the upper-class are, such as the philanthropists Wall. Paster and Bill Gates. ”
In the study, researchers make investigations over groups of people of different social classes and evaluate their social status from their property, professional reputation and educational background. They have believed that those lower-class people will have more motivation to improve their living standards through some immoral conducts, however, the findings show that those upper-class people who pay too much attention to themselves are more likely to commit unethical conducts.

VIII. Translation of the Text 美国总统的住宅
迄今为止，已有44人在白宫椭圆办公室履行了56届总统任期。就在今年2月20日（星期一），我们马上要迎来又一个总统日，而且马上就要举行选举，值此之际，让我们一起看看在过去40年间我们国家最高领导人称之为“家”的地方是什么样子的。 贝拉克·奥巴马总统
奥巴马一家于2005年6月以165万美元的价格购买了位于芝加哥肯伍德（Kenwood）社区格林伍德（Greenwood）大街5046号的一座6199平方英尺的双层独栋别墅。其最终购买价低于别墅要价30万美元。
与此同时，奥巴马总统竞选支持者、商人安东尼·“托尼”·雷兹科（Antoin Tony Rezko）及妻子芮塔（Rita）以全价62.5万美元购买了紧邻奥巴马别墅的一块空地。六个月后，奥巴
马以10.45万美元的价格从雷兹科手中购进了部分空地。
（在一项联邦调查认定雷兹科犯有受贿罪后，奥巴马对《芝加哥太阳报》解释道：“尽管我竭力关注道德行为规范的特定要求，但我错误地预计了从雷兹科先生手中购买额外地产这件事所产生的社会影响，对此，我深表遗憾。”）
奥巴马位于格林伍德大街上的别墅最新估价约为119万美元。 乔治·沃克·布什
乔治·沃克·布什和劳拉·布什从白宫卸任后，这对夫妇回到了普雷斯顿霍洛（Preston Hollow）社区，当布什还是德克萨斯州州长的时候他们一家就住在这里。现在，布什一家的单层住宅位于达瑞亚（Daria Place）街10141号，面积为8501平方英尺，掩映在绿树丛中，外有大门守卫。背朝布什官邸的是一处规模庞大的房产，该房产在《达拉斯月刊》的“达拉斯100处最贵房产”名单中名列榜首，估价为3914万美元，所有者是汤姆·希克斯（Tom Hicks'）控股公司。该公司还拥有德克萨斯游骑兵棒球队（Texas Rangers）、达拉斯星辰冰球队（Dallas Stars）以及利物浦足球俱乐部（Liverpool Football Club）的股权。
作为布什家族的后裔和缅因州肯纳邦克波特（Kennebunkport）的沃克角庄园（详见图片下介绍）的现任主人，前总统乔治·W·布什生于康涅狄格州，但他一直把德克萨斯州视作自己的故乡。1977年，他在德克萨斯州米德兰市（Midland）购置了一套仅有2406平方英尺的住宅，随后和学校教师劳拉·韦尔奇成婚。
布什夫妇和双胞胎女儿詹娜、芭芭拉在米德兰一直住到1985年，而后因布什参与父亲的总统竞选而搬至华盛顿特区。
2000年，在就任美国第43任总统的前一年，布什出售了德克萨斯游骑兵队，获利1430万美元，随后以约130万美元的价格购买了1500英亩的牧场。劳拉·布什在谈到德州克劳福德（Crawford）外的草原教堂牧场（Prairie Chapel Ranch）（亦作克劳福德农场，也被称作“西部白宫”）时表示，“我希望能和乔治在这里养老。” 威廉·杰弗逊·“比尔”·克林顿
比尔·克林顿在成为总统前从未有过自己的房产，虽然他出生和童年生活的地方被克林顿出生地基金会所保护，供人纪念参观。该基金会的宗旨是保留并纪念克林顿总统在阿肯色州霍普镇（Hope，Ark）度过的童年时期。“Clinton Loop”现在已成为汽车旅游线路，并配有引导标志。
克林顿和妻子希拉里从白宫卸任后，他们搬进了位于纽约查帕瓜（Chappaqua）老屋巷（Old House Lane）15号的家，并一直居住在此，而后希拉里宣布竞选纽约参议员。该座拥有5个卧室的荷兰殖民时期建筑估价为1300万美元，面积约为1英亩，前门距公路仅有60英尺。
