Honesty may well be the policy, but it often deserts us when no one is watching, psychologists report today. Experiments with an honesty box to collect payments for hot drinks show that people are better at paying up when under the gaze of a pair of eyes. The surprise was that the eyes were not real, but photographed.Researchers at Newcastle University set up the experiment in secret. They attached a poster to a cupboard of mugs above an honesty box alongside a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk. Over 10 weeks, they alternated (轮流替换) each week between images of eyes and pictures of flowers.
Dr. Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study, said that even though the eyes were not real they still seemed to make people behave more honestly. The effect may result from behavioral characteristics that developed as early humans formed social groups that increased their chances of survival. Individuals had to co-operate for the good of the group, rather than act selfishly.
“If nobody is watching us it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we think we’re being watched we should behave better, so people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards us,” Dr. Bateson said.
“We thought we’d get a slight effect with eyes, by it was quite striking how much difference they made. Even at a subconscious level, it seems people respond to eyes, and that might be because eyes send a strong biological signal we have evolved(进化) to respond to.”
The finding, which researchers believe sheds light on our evolutionary past, could be turned to practical use. The psychologists say images of eyes could increase ticket sales on public transport and improve monitor systems to prevent antisocial behavior.

In earliest times, men considered lightning (闪电)to be one of the great mysteries(神密) of nature. Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons(武器) of the gods.

    In reality lightning is a flow of electricity (电流)formed high above the earth. A single flash(闪烁) of lightning 1.6 kilometers long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs.

    The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first Lightning Rod (避雷针). His device(发明物) protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.

     Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning contains more than 15 million volts(伏特). A spark(火花) between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.Scientists estimate (估计) that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire, State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.

    The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under trees. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.

    With lightning, it's better to be safe than sorry.?

Lightning is actually _____.

  A.weapon     B.electricity     C.light     D.mystery

People once thought that lightning came from ______.

  A.scientists     B.ground    C.lightning rod     D.gods

Benjamin Franklin ______.

  A. made the first lightning rod    B.built the Empire State Building

  C. invented electricity           D.prevented lightning from hitting cars

______is the best place to be in during an electricity storm.

  A.Swimming pool   B. A high place   C.Under a tree  D.A car
