Experiments with an honesty box to collect payments for hot drinks show that people are better at paying up when under the gaze(注视) 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 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. They effect may arise 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 were 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 wed get a slight effect with eyes, but it was quite striking how much difference they made. Even at a subconscious(潜意识的) 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.41. This passage is mainly about _.A. the policy of honesty B. an honesty box to collect moneyC. evolution on honesty D. an experiment on honesty42. 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 price43. 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 eyes44. 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 daylightB BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) - Chinas economic planning agency Thursday announced a rise in minimum rice purchase prices this year to encourage farmers to grow more grain. A statement on the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) website said the government would continue the policy of minimum purchase prices in major rice-growing regions in 2011. The rises in the minimum rice purchase price had been approved by the State Council, Chinas Cabinet, said the statement. The purchase prices for japonica rice will rise 21.9 percent to 128 yuan (19.4 U.S. dollars) per 50 kilograms, while prices for early and middle-late rice will increase 9.7 percent and 10.3 percent to 102 yuan and 107 yuan per 50 kg respectively. Rice and wheat are two major grain crops in China. The State Council pledged Wednesday to step up efforts to boost grain production as drought continues to wreak havoc in north Chinas wheat growing regions. Chinas main wheat-growing regions, including Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Jiangsu provinces, have been plagued by drought since October last year. Drought has affected about 7.73 million hectares, or 42.4 percent, of the total winter wheat crop area in the countrys eight key producing provinces, the Ministry of Agriculture said Wednesday.

And youll realize that it wouldnt have happened if not for that previous disappointment.” Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932, I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to a sports announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every stationand got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldnt risk hiring an inexperienced person. “Go out in the sticks and find a small station thatll give you a chance,” she said. I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me. But I wasnt hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best.” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur told me they had already hired an announcer. As I left his office, my frustration (挫折) boiled over. I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he cant get a job in a radio station?” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, “What was you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding (在前的) autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute build-up to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturdays game! On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mothers words: “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldnt have happened if not for that previous disappointment.” I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if Id gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.50.The writer shows his _ by saying “ if Id not gotten the job at Montgomery Ward”. A. regret B. happiness C. gratefulness D. disappointment 51.The underlined phrase “out in the sticks” probably means _? A. in radio stationsB. in the country C. in big cities D. in Dixon, Illinois 52.Why did the writer mention his mothers words over and again? Because _. A. it was his mothers words that encouraged him B. his mother was a person who talked a lot C. nothing good has happened to him up to now D. he got turned down every time he tried53.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. There was a small radio station in Dixon, Illinois. B. Peter MacArthur was a program director in Scotland. Ks*5u C. WOC Radio in Davenport broadcast imaginary games. D. Montgomery Ward had a store with a sports department.54.When did the writer decide to take a radio-announcing job? A. When he hitchhiked to Chicago. B. After he graduated from college. C. Before he graduated from college.D. As soon as he was turned down.DROME: The legend of Leonardo da Vinci is covered in mystery: How did he die? Are the remains buried in a French castle really those of the master? Was the Mona Lisa a self-portrait in disguise (伪装)? A group of Italian scientists believe the key to solving those puzzles lies with the remains, and they say they are seeking permission to dig up the body to conduct carbon and DNA testing.If the skull is undamaged, the scientists can go to the heart of a question that has fascinated scholars and the public for centuries: the identity of the Mona Lisa. Recreating a virtual and then physical reconstruction of Leonardos face, they can compare it with the smiling face in the painting. We dont know what well find if the tomb is opened. We could even just find grains and dust, says Giorgio Gruppioni, an anthropologist who is participating in the project. But if the remains are well kept, they are a biological record of events in a persons life, and sometimes in their death. Silvano Vinceti, the leader of the group, said that he plans to press his case with the French officials in charge of the said burial site at Amboise Castle early next week. Leonardo moved to France at the invitation of King Francis I, who named him first painter to the king. He spent the last three years of his life there, and died in 1519 at age 67. The artists original burial place, the palace church of Saint Florentine, was destroyed during the French Revolution and remains that are believed to be his were eventually reburied in the Saint-Hubert Chapel near the castle. The Amboise tomb is a symbolic tomb; its a big question mark, said Alessandro Vezzosi, the director of a museum dedicated to Leonardo in his hometown of Vinci. Vezzosi said that investigating the tomb could help identify the artists bones with certainty and solve other questions, such as the cause of hi
