　　Honesty is the best policy，as the English saying goes.Unfortunately，honesty often leaves us when no one is watching，British psychologists reported last week.

　　Researchers at UK's Newcastle University set up an experiment in their psychology department's coffee room.

　　They set a kettle，with tea，coffee and milk on the counter and hung up a sign listing the price for drinks.People helping themselves to a cup of tea were supposed to put a few cents in the box nearby.

　　The scientists hung a poster above the money box，and changed each week between pictures of gazing(注视的)eyes and pictures of flowers.The researchers found that staff paid 2.76 times more for their drinks when the image of the eyes was hung.

　　“We were shocked by the size of the effect，”said Gilbert Roberts，one of the researchers.

　　Eyes are known to be a powerful perceptual(知觉的)signal for humans，scientists say.

　　“Even though the eyes were not real，they still seemed to make people behave more honestly，”said Melissa Bateson，a behavioral biologist and leader of the study.

　　Researchers believe the effect throws light on our evolutionary past.It may arise from behavioral characteristics that developed when early humans formed social groups to strengthen their chances of survival.For social groups to work，individuals had to co­operate，rather than act selfishly.“There's an argument that if nobody is watching us，it is in our interests to behave selfishly.But when we're being watched we should behave better.So people see us as co­operative and behave the same way towards us，”Bateson said.

　　The new finding indicates that people have a striking response to eyes.That might be because eyes and faces send a strong biological signal we have evolved to respond to，Bateson said.

　　The finding could be put to practical use.For example，images of eyes could ensure ticket sales on public transport and improve surveillance(监视)systems to deter antisocial(反社会)behavior.

　　1．The story is written mainly to ________.

　　A．warn you to behave honestly whether you are alone or not

　　B．explain the root of cheating in exams with no teachers present

　　C．describe how the experiment in Newcastle University worked

　　D．inform us of a strong reaction that people have to eyes

　　答案　D

　　2．The experiment carried out in Newcastle University made researchers think that ________.

　　A．honesty is not the best policy

　　B．evolution has a big influence on our behavior

　　C．humans have to form social groups to survive

　　D．people are more relaxed when not being watched

　　答案　B

　　3．From the text，we know that ________.

　　A．no one acts selfishly when being watched

　　B．the function of eyes is not only biological but social

　　C．the image of eyes worked as well as the picture of flowers

　　D．a waiter was there serving people drinks in the experiment

　　答案　B

　　4．The word “deter” underlined in the last paragraph could be replaced by

　　________.

　　A．prevent

　　B．discover

　　C．watch

　　D．research

　　答案　A

　　B

　　Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto.But what about really young filmmakers who aren't in film school yet and aren't，strictly speaking，even adults?

　　They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival，tomorrow，in a setting any director might envy：Lincoln Center.Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards，the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers，except for the age of the participants：about 8 to 18.

　　“What's really exciting is that it's film for kids by kids，” said Cori Gardner，managing director of Wingspan Arts，a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area.This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington，Virginia.“We want to make this a national event，” Ms.Gardner added.

　　The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B．B.King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005.“A lot of the material is really mature，”Ms.Gardner said，talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project，a media arts and leadershiptraining group.“The Choice is about the history of a family and Master AntiSmoker is about the

　　dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants'(移民)feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.

　　The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown.These include a music video and a fulllength film whose title is Pressures.

　　5．Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival________.
