Researchers at UK's Newcastle University set up an experiment in their psychology department's coffee room. They set a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk on the counter and hung up a sign listing the prices for drinks. People helping themselves to a cup of drink were supposed to put a few cents in the box nearby. The scientists hung a poster above the money box, and it changed each week between images of gazing eyes and pictures of flowers. The researchers found that staff paid 2.76 times more for their drinks when the image of the eyes was hung. "Frankly we were shocked by the size of the effect," said Gilbert Roberts, one of the researchers.
Eyes are known to be a powerful perceptual (感官的) signal for humans. "Even though the eyes were not real, they still seemed to make people behave more honestly," said Melissa Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study.
Researchers believe the effect sheds light on our evolutionary past. It may arise from behavioral features that developed when early humans formed social groups to strengthen their chances of survival For social groups to work, individuals had to co-operate, rather than act selfishly. "There's an argument that if nobody is watching us, it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we're being watched we should behave better. So people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards us," Bateson said.
The new finding indicates that people have a striking response to eyes. That might be because eyes and faces send a strong biological signal we have evolved to respond to. The finding could be put to practical use, too. For example, images of eyes could increase ticket sales on public transport and improve supervision systems to prevent antisocial behavior.
The experiment conducted in Newcastle University shows that ______.
A．people enjoy free drinks more than paid ones
B．most people are dishonest if nobody is watching
C．people like pictures of flowers more than pictures of eyes
D．people are more honest when watched by pictures of eyes

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France， it is not usually news. Rather， it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them.
However，when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940，the world was amazed.
Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals， such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and， most noticeably， horses， which appear in more than 300 wall images， by far outnumbering all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easity accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex.
Unfortunately， the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes，which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances， air movement has also damaged the images inside.
Although they are not out in the open air， where natural light would have destroyed them long ago，many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage，the site was closed to tourists in 1963，23 years after it was discovered.
Based on the passage，what is probably true about the south of France？ 查看材料
A.It is home to rare animals.
B.It has a large number of caves.
C.It is known for horse-racing events.
D.It has attracted many famous artists.
Scans have shown that【62】of activity in the brain change depending on how we focus on a task. Concentrating on time passing, as we do when bored, will【63】brain activity which will make it seem as though the clock is ticking more【64】. The research, by the French Laboratory of Neurobiology and Cognition, is【65】in the magazine Science.
In the study, 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers【66】their brain activity using MRI (核磁共振成像) scans. Volunteers were given a variety of tasks. In one they were told to concentrate simply on the duration of an image, in【67】they were asked to focus on the color, and in a third they were asked to concentrate on both【68】and color. The results showed that a network of brain regions was【69】when more subjects were paid attention to duration.
It is thought that if the brain is busy focusing on many【70】of a task, then it has to spread its resources thinly, and pays less heed (注意) to time passing. Therefore, time passes without us really【71】it, and seems to go quickly.【72】, if the brain is not stimulated in this way, it concentrates its【73】energies on monitoring the passing of time. This may make time seem to【74】, but in fact it is probably a more accurate perception of reality.【75】, the researchers found that the more volunteers concentrated on the duration of the images, the more【76】were their estimates of its duration.
Lead researcher Dr. Jennifer Coull said many of the areas of the brain【77】in estimating time were the same that played a key role in controlling movement, and preparing for action. She said this【78】suggests that the brain may make【79】of time as intervals between movements, in much the same way【80】musicians mark time with his foot, or athletes【81】the sound of a starter's pistol.

on swamped readers with more than they could possibly handle at normal reading rates.Most early courses, however, were based on information from a rather unexpected source----the Royal Air Force.
During the First World War air force tacticians had found that, when flying, a number of pilots were unable to distinguish planes seen at a distance.In the life-and-death situation of air combat, this was obviously a serious disadvantage, and the tacticians set about finding a remedy.They developed a machine called a tachistoscope (视觉记忆测试镜)，which flashes images for varying short spaces of time on a large screen.They started by flashing fairly large pictures of friendly and enemy aircraft at very slow exposures and then gradually shortened the exposure, while decreasing the size and changing the angle of the image seen.To their surprise, they found that, with training, the average person was able to distinguish almost specklike (斑点似的) representations of different planes when the images had been flashed on the screen for only one five-hundredth of a second.
Reasoning that, if the eyes could see at this incredible speed, reading speeds could obviously be dramatically improved, they decided to transfer this information to reading.Using exactly the same device, they first flashed one word in large type for as long as five seconds on a screen, gradually reducing the size of the word and shortening the length of each flash.Eventually they were flashing four words simultaneously on a screen for one five-hundredth of a second, and the subjects were still able to read them.
As a consequence of these findings, most speed reading courses have been based on this flash-card or tachistoscopic training (also known as still-screen training).

In fact, it is the wider significance of the etchings that is likely to attract most attention in academic circles, since they radically alter our view of life in Britain during this epoch. It had previously been thought that ice-age hunters in this country were isolated from people in more central areas of Europe, but the Church Hole images prove that ancient Britons were part of a culture that had spread right across the continent. And they were at least as sophisticated culturally as their counterparts on the mainland.
An initial survey of the site last year failed to reveal the presence of the etchings. The reason lies in the expectations of the researchers. They had been looking for the usual type of cave drawing or painting, which shows up best under direct light. Consequently, they used powerful torches, shining them straight onto the rock face. However, the Church Hole images are modifications of the rock itself, and show up best when seen from a certain angle in the natural light of early morning. Having been fortunate to see them at this hour, I can only say that I was deeply—and unexpectedly—moved. While most cave art often seems to have been created in a shadowy past very remote from us, these somehow convey the impression that they were made yesterday.
Dr Samson feels that the lighting factor provides important information about the likely function of these works of art. "I think the artists knew very well that the etchings would hardly be visible except early in the morning. We can therefore deduce that the chamber was used for rituals involving animal worship, and that they were conducted just after dawn as a preliminary to the day's hunting."
To which I can only add that I felt deeply privileged to have been able to view Church Hole. It is a site of tremendous importance culturally and is part of the heritage, not only of this country, but the world as a whole.
According to the passage, the images in Church Hole cave are______.
A．unique examples of ceiling art
B．particularly beautiful cave paintings
C．superior in quality to other cave art in Britain
D．aesthetically exceptional
