Honesty may well be the policy, but it often deserts us when no one is watching, psychologists report today. Experiments with an honesty box to collect payments for hot drinks show that people are better at paying up when under the gaze 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 (轮流替换) 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. The effect may result 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 we’re 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 we’d get a slight effect with eyes, by it was quite striking how much difference they made. Even at a subconscious 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 increase ticket sales on public transport and improve monitor systems to prevent antisocial behavior.
【小题1】This passage is mainly about ____________.

  Joy Mangano was 33 and divorced(离婚), had three kids under age 7, and was hardly keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra weekend hours as a waitress.

  “Sometimes I would lie in bed and think. I don’t know how I’m going to pay the bills,” Mangano said.

  But she had a gift for seeing the obvious. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water and wringing(拧)out a mop.” Mangano says. “So, I thought: There’s going to be a better way.”

  How about a “self wringing” mop? She designed a special tool that could be twisted(转动)in two directions while not making hands wet and dirty. She set out to sell it, first only a few at flea markets(跳蚤市场).

  Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes(泡在电视机前的人)buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they’d let her do the on-camera demonstration.

  QVC took a chance on her. “I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”

  Today she’s the president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of the Home Shopping Network. Talking about her household inventions is “as natural for me as it is for parents to talk about their children”.

  Today one of her favorite products is Huggable Hangers. The thin, space-saving inventions are the most successful gadget(器具)ever sold on HSN, with 100 million hanging out there in closets across the country. Of course, you couldn’t possibly sell hangers on TV.

(1)What would be the best title for the passage?

[  ]

A.There is going to be a better way

B.A woman invented the self-wringing mop

C.An ordinary woman sells her invention on TV

D.Women can all achieve remarkable success

(2)What does the underlined sentence “the phones went crazy” (in Paragraph 6) mean?

[  ]

A.Many people made calls to say they were mad.

B.There were lots of calls to order the new mop.

C.Many people were mad to see me on TV.

D.The telephone broke down at my home.

(3)Which is the correct order of the following events?

a.Mangano invented the most popular Huggable Hangers.

b.Mangano was tired of mopping the floor.

c.Mangano designed a self-wringing mop.

d.Mangano was ever worried about how to pay the bills.

e.Mangano did an on-camera demonstration to sell her mops.

[  ]

A.a-b-c-d-e
B.b-d-c-e-a
C.d-b-c-e-a
D.e-a-c-d-b

(4)What conclusion can be made from the story?

[  ]

A.Women can invent household tools because they often do housework.

B.Mangano treated her household inventions as she treated her children.

C.Mangano used to lie in bed and think of how to invent household tools.

D.One can make life better through work though it is sometimes hard.
