Research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behavior 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 behavior. 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.

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each dav．we should be able to give an answer to the question．

It 1s the same in history．Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country．but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago，because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in Central Africa，because they had not learned to write．

Sometimes，of coures，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs, dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung，acted and told for many generations，for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past．This we may call”remembered history”．Some of it had been written down. If is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history,is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing．But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．

1.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

A．“Remembered history”，compared with written history．is 1ess reliable．

B. Written records of the past play a most important role in our learning the human history．

C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to remember the events that happened in the past．

D．Where there are no written records of the past．there is no history．

2.Why do we know little about what happened in Central Africa 200 years ago?

A．There was nothing worth being written down at that time．

B．People there had not known how to write in those days．

C．The written records were perhaps destroyed in a fire．

D．People there ignored the importance of keeping a record．

3.”Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when________．

A．it is written down               B．it proves to be true

C．no written account is available D．people are interested in it

4.It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors had________．

A．kept a written record of every past event

B．not burnt their written records in wars

C．told exact stories of the most important happenings

Bad behavior is something that most people don’t want to tolerate. However, we have had to tolerate it more and more with each passing year. There seems to be no concern for other people’s feelings; nor do we seem to care about other people’s property. We live in an age where saying what is on our minds has priority over any harm that it might do.

There are ways to deal with bad behavior in modern times, though. Too many of us let bad behavior go because we don’t want to rock the boat. This is the time that you should rock the boat and rock it hard. Let people know that you expect it to change. That is the key to dealing with bad behavior. If it continues, take the proper action for the situation you are in. If you have developed the habit of bad behavior, take a hard look at it and then change it. You can’t expect others to behave well if you aren’t willing to look at your own bad behavior and change it.

If you don’t have control over anything in a situation, just walk away from it and move on to something that you do have control over. You needn’t feel ashamed of that. Besides, you must stand firm in what you believe. You can’t control what other people do, but you can control what you do about it. You can’t go wrong if you stand firm in what you believe. Understanding your responsibility is also important. Don’t try to take on the responsibility for other people’s behavior. Take care of what you have to and do it in the way you know it should be done. The rest will take care of itself.

Bad behavior is on the rise with more and more people behaving badly without having to pay any consequences. Worry about how you behave rather than how others behave. Pretty soon, it just may catch on.

1.It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that _____________.

A. bad behavior is common today

B. bad behavior is sure to hurt people deeply

C. people behave badly because of carelessness

D. people are more understanding than before

2.When dealing with people’s bad behavior, you are advised to ____________.

A. fight it bravely whenever it happens

B. ignore it if it is beyond your control

C. let it go to avoid trouble

D. make people feel ashamed of their bad behavior

3.Why do many people behave badly according to the passage?

A. Because bad behavior is often ignored.

B. Because people are often influenced by others.

C. Because people aren’t punished for their bad behavior.

D. Because people haven’t realized its consequences.
