问题     In 1924 America’s National Research Council sent two engineers to supervise a series of industrial experiments at a large telephone-parts factory called the Hawthorne Plant near Chicago. It hoped they would learn how stop-floor lighting【C1】______workers’ productivity. Instead, the studies ended【C2】______giving their name to the "Hawthorne effect", the extremely influential idea that the very【C3】______to being experimented upon changed subjects’ behavior.

    It turns out that peculiar way of conducting the experiments may be have let to【C11】______interpretation of what happened. 【C12】______, lighting was always changed on a Sunday. When work started again on Monday, output duly rose compared with the previous Saturday and 【C13】______to rise for the next couple of days.

This suggests that the alleged "Hawthorne effect" is hard to pin down.
