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(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 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, 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.

                      Brief History of the World’s Fair

World’s Fairs originated in the French tradition of national exhibitions, a tradition that ended with the French Industrial Exposition of 1844 held in Paris．It was soon followed by other national exhibitions in continental Europe, and finally came to London where the first real international exhibition was held．

Since their start in 1851, the character of world expositions has developed gradually．Three eras（年代）can be distinguished: the era of industrialization, the era of cultural exchange, and the era of nation branding．

Industrialization (1851–1938)

The first era could be called the era of industrialization and covered the period from 1851 to 1938．In these days, world expositions were especially focused on trade and famous for the display of technological inventions and advancements．World expositions were the platform where the state of the art in science and technology from around the world was brought together．Inventions such as the telephone were first presented during this era．An important part of the image of World’s Fairs stems from this first era．

Cultural exchange (1939–1991)

The 1939 New York World’s Fair and the 1949 Stockholm World’s Fair were different from the original focus of the expositions．From then on, World’s Fairs became more strongly based on a specific theme of cultural significance, and began to address issues of humankind．Technology and inventions remained important, but no longer as the principal subjects of the Fair．Cross-cultural dialogue and the exchange of solutions became defining elements of the expos．It was also during this time, specifically in the 1960s, that BIE organizers started calling World’s Fairs “Expo’s”．

Nation branding (1992–present)

From Expo’88 in Brisbane onwards, countries started to use World Expositions more widely and more strongly as a platform to improve their national images through their pavilions（展馆）．Finland, Japan, Canada, France and Spain are cases in point．A large study by Tjaco Walvis called “Expo 2000 Hanover in Numbers” showed that improving national images was the primary participation goal for 73% of the countries at Expo 2000．In a world where a strong national image is a key asset（财产）, pavilions became advertising campaigns, and the Expo a channel for nation branding．As well as cultural and symbolic reasons, organizing countries (and the cities and regions hosting them) also use the world exposition to brand themselves．

Future expositions

2017 will see a recognized exposition．Bidding may begin as early as 2012 for this smaller-sized exposition．Already, Edmonton, Alberta and Canada have voted to go on with the second stage of putting together a bid for Edmonton EXPO 2017．2020 will see a registered category of exposition．Bidding may begin as early as 2011 for this larger sized exposition．There are citizen efforts in American cities with the intention of bringing a World’s Fair back to the United States．
