PART A

It turns out that peculiar way of conducting the experiments may be have led to misleading interpretation of what happened. For example, lighting was always changed on a Sunday. When work started again on Monday , output duly rose compared with the previous Saturday and continued to rise for the next couple of days .However , a comparison with data for weeks when there was no experimentation showed that output always went up on Monday. Workers tended to be diligent for the first few days of the week in any case , before hitting a plateau and then slackening off. Of the week in any case , before hitting a plateau and then slackening off. This suggests that the alleged “Hawthorne effect” is hard to pin down .

PART B

It did not matter what was done is the experiment; so long as something was changed productivity rose. An awareness that they were being experimented upon seemed to be enough to alter workers’ behavior by itself .After several decades , the same date were subjected to the econometric analysis . Hawthorne experiments had another surprise in store. Contrary to the descriptions on systematic evidence was found that levels of productivity were related to changes in lighting.

Contrary to the descriptions on record , no systematic evidence was found (that levels of productivity were related to changes in lighting).

结构提示：(that levels of productivity were related to changes in lighting)是evidence的同位语从句，后置的原因是为了避免主语太长，头重脚轻。

与记录的描述相反，没有系统的证据证明生产率的水平与光线的改变有关。
