School-age children who do charity work are likely to display better moral judgments than those who play sport,according to a large-scale national survey conducted by Birmingham University.
The survey of 10 ,000 pupils aged 14 and 15 in secondary schools across the UK found that more than half failed to identify what researchers described as good judgments when responding to a series of moral dilemmas,leading researchers to call for schools to have a more active role in teaching character and morality.
“A good grasp of moral virtues,such as kindness,honesty and courage,can help children to succeed as human beings,and can also l^ad to improvements in the classroom. And that level of understanding needs to be educated and encouraged/' said Prof James Arthur from Birmingham University.
Overall onlv 42% of students’ responses matched those selected by a group of experts. Students wno saia they did charity work outside of school scored 50% . Those doing music (48%) or drama (48%) were also better able to make good moral judgments. Contrary to popular opinion,students who said they participated in port did not show better moral juagmenib. me researchers also found that girls displayed greater moral ： awareness than boys in all areas,with 47% of girls making the right choices compared with just 37% of boys.
The Department for Education (DfE) has recently encouraged the teaching of moral values,but a majority of teachers surveyed as part of the research said the focus on academic attainment prevented the development of students’ character. A Dffi spokesperson said, “Character education is a central part of our plan for education. That”s why we are investing £10 million to help ensure pupils develop the virtues they need to succeed in both their academic studies and in later life.
But the researchers found that a school s GCSE(普

There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with
a seemingly simple question from the (收银员) ：Paper or plastic? Well,which type of bag would you choose?
While all types of bags have some influence on th^ environment,it has long been supposed that paper b?gs are kinder. TTiey are made from a renewable source,break down easily,bum without giving off thick smoke and can be (回收利用) .However,the proild: process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the (量) of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags,which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling,the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones,plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland,for example,a tax (??) has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag,and as a result,their use has dropped quickly.
There,s no doubt it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However,we don't seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so,cloth bags are a better choice,but still,their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I ?o to help the environment?”
