Can you imagine a classroom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing? No paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test papers. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.

A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm-sized, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.

Having computers also means that students can use the Wed. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying, from Maths to social science.

High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida., US, described how her class used the Wed to refugee camps,” she said. “Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible.”

A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper each week to each student.

“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said.

But, with all this technology, there’s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.

In a paperless classroom, what is a must?

  A. Pens.      B. Computers.      C. Textbooks       D. Pencils.

The high school teacher, Judy Harrell, used the example of her class to show that ________ 

 A. the Web could take them everywhere        

B. the Web taught them everything.

  C. the Web is a good tool for information

  D. the Web is where you can download information

Which of the following is NOT an advantage of a paperless classroom?

  A. You won’t get angry with your pen.

  B. Computers may break down sometimes.

  C. Students can get information from Internet.

  D. A lot of money or money or trees will be saved.

To test eggs, _____ them in a bowl of water: if they float they’re bad, if they sink they’re good.

A. put    B. putting      C. to put        D. to be putting

Research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behaviour when they are watched. Do you?

A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even images of eyes on a charity donation, collection box encourage people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box.

Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act better when they are being watched because they feel they will be rewarded for good behaviour. Their report also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched is somehow coded into humans and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realizing it.

It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the grooming fish cleans other fish. When other fish are around, it is gentler. When no other fish are around, however, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish it is supposed to be cleaning.

The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to behave in the correct way is to make them feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it was a picture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who was looking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption 'I Want You' It encouraged hundreds of thousands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the Germans and Japanese.

According to the report, why does a person behave better when he feels he is being watched?

A. He does not want to be shamed by others.

B. He needs to show he is a good person.

C. He desires others to like him more.

D. He feels he will receive some social reward.

What is the text mainly about?

A. It describes changed behaviour when observed.

      B. It details ways to control people's behaviour.

       C. It tells how to make people work harder.

      D. It discusses different advertising methods.

Where would the study described in the text most likely be found?

       A. In a newspaper.              

B. In a scientific journal.

       C. In an advertising magazine.         

D. In a science textbook.

     We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing us, he said, "You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, "Oh, so you boys are in a band (乐队)?" We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don't you?" Tim said, "Yes." So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn't know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse(倒车), stopping a few feet in back of our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn't know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policeman's voice came over his  loudspeaker. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Turns out, the policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.
