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 promote ticket sales on public transport and improve monitor systems to prevent antisocial behavior.66. this passage is mainly about _.a. the policy of honesty b. an honesty box to collect moneyc. evolution on honesty d. an experiment on honesty67. the reason for doing the experiment secretly is that the researchers _.a. wanted to get a comparatively more exact resultb. had known they wanted to do something illegallyc. meant to get the co-operation of their colleaguesd. intended to sell the hot drinks at a higher price68. people behave honestly under watchful gaze of eyes because _.a. they want to leave a good impression b. they fear to be laughed at by othersc. theyve got the nature through evolution d. they take the photo for a real pair of eyes69. the underlined phrase sheds light on in the last paragraph means _.a. causes somebody to become cheerful b. makes something easier to understandc. comes upon something by accident d. brings something into the broad daylightkuss middle school serves students in fall river, mass. , a former mill town that has struggled economically for decades. students at kuss have struggled, too, usually falling short of making the academic progress required under the no child left behind law.then, last year, the school experimented with extending the school day. teachers got paid at a higher hourly rate.students werent thrilled at first with leaving school at 4:15 p.m. instead of at 2:20 p.m. but the added hours gave them more time for physical education and let them select special interest classes. by the end of the year, student scores had risen by enough to enable kuss to make the progress required under the federal no child left behind law.the only surprise is that more districts havent lengthened school schedules set decades ago to accommodate (适应) a farm economy rather the information economy of today.new research suggests the time is ready for a change:matched against 39 other developed countries, the united states is near the bottom in the rankings of average weekly instructional time in school. measured over 12 years, students in the top-scoring countries spend the equivalent of a full extra year in school.us students perform poorly on math and science tests compared to their international peers, according to a us education department comparison released earlier this month. in math, american 15-year-old scored near the bottom among the studys 30 developed countries.most countries that boost the number of minutes spent on math instruction find pay offs in improved math scores, according to a study released this month by the brookings institution. small increases in the school day are more effective than a longer school year, the report concluded.the most encouraging news about the benefits of extending the school day comes from massachusetts, where an experiment with 10 schools, including kuss, appears to be working. those 10 schools lengthened their instructional days by 25% and boosted their state scores in math, english and science at all grades.perhaps the concept wont work everywhere. certainly, it wont instantly be popular. but its obvious that a problem exists or that adding class time seems to help.70. what is the main idea of the above passage?a. experiments with extended school hours produce academic gains.b. kuss middle school sets a good example for us education.c. academic progress has achieved under the no child left behind law.d. information age calls for more instructional lime at all schools.71. a longer school day is suggested for the following reasons except that _.a. students from many developed countries spend more time at schoolb. american students do a bad job at science subjectsc. teachers are paid at a higher rate with time addedd. a longer school day works better than a longer school year72. which statement is true of kuss middle school?a. kuss middle school lies in where a farm economy is changing to an information one.b. kuss middle school has joined the federal no child left behind progrannc. neither teachers nor students are happy with the longer school day.d. adding class time functions at kuss middle school.73. the writer has expressed _.a. a positive attitude towards adding school timeb. a negative attitude towards adding school timec. a changing attitude towards adding school timed. a right attitude towards adding school timesearching for the truthcollecting and writing news is like researching in history: the best information comes from those who were there at the time. so if we want to study the history of china in the sixth century ad, we look at the writings of the people who lived then. they are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then. people at a much later date who write about the same events are called the secondary sources. for example, when we read the original writings of jia sixie on agriculture, we are reading a primary source; when we read about jia sixie in our textbook we are reading secondary source because the passage was written about him and his ideas many years after he died.when we make news, we use primary and secondary sources. we can see this most clearly
