Hints on safety

Nearly everyone is attracted to water, whether it be the sea, canals, rivers or the village pond. Beautiful as it is, water should be regarded with respect as it can be dangerous. Around 300 children up to the age of ten die each year from drowning. It should be every parent’s responsibility to ensure that both he and the children swim safely and that as the child gets older, he has some knowledge of life-saving and artificial respiration（人工呼吸）.

The basic rules of water safety are:

－don’t leave small children playing alone in water

－never swim an hour before or an hour after a main meal

－if it’s a danger area, find out before you start swimming where the lifeguard is or where a life-belt is available

－as children get older, try to teach them to remain calm in an emergency

－look out for warning signs to see whether you’re in a danger area (see under this). Be especially careful of inland stretches of water-pools, reservoirs（水庫）and dykes（溝）where there are often fewer people about than at the seaside.

Teachers spend countless years trying to make history come alive for their students. But, US Director Shawn Levy attempts to do this on film in the recently released Night at the Museum.

The film is adapted from Milan Trenc’s book of the same name. It brings to life a world where dinosaurs wander the earth, a former president rides again, warlike early Asians return, and cowboys and Roman soldiers seek to bring back their old goals.

The familiar comedy star Ben Stiller acts as a luckless dreamer named Larry Daley. He takes a position as night watchman at the New York Museum of Natural History.

On Larry’s first night, he’s left alone by the three aging guards he’s replacing. They fail to inform him of the museum’s rather unusual nightlife.

Soon Larry finds himself chased down the hallways by the very lively skeleton of a dinosaur, in the middle of a confrontation(交鋒) with Asian warriors. He is caught in a territorial battle between a cowboy and a Roman general and meets face-to-face with former US president Teddy Roosevelt, played by Robin Williams.

They are each from an exhibit that has come to life through the magic of a priceless Egyptian tablet.

While the film fails to develop very much in some areas (for example, Larry’s troubled relationship with a son), it does have enough special effects, and jokes to engage the audience.

Bottom Line: Definitely not Oscar-worthy, but a great way to relax during a holiday.

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 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 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, 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(進(jìn)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.

Walking across the campus of Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University one delightful spring day, I came upon a table filled with young people chatting and enjoying the fine weather. Several had identical blue T-Shirts with “Trilogy@ CMU” written across them——Trilogy being an Austin, Texas-based software company with a reputation for recruiting(招聘) our top students. I walked over to the table. “Are you guys here to recruit?” I asked. “No, absolutely not,” they replied firmly. “We’re not recruiters. We’re just hanging out, playing a little Frisbee(飛盤) with our friends.” How interesting, I thought. They’ve come to campus on a workday, all the way from Austin, just to hang out with some new friends.

As I later learned, they were gifted students who had inked the highest-paying deal in the history of their department.

I asked one young man why he was going to a smaller city in Texas. The company is excellent, he told me. There are also terrific people and the work is challenging. Though he had several good job offers from Pittsburgh’s high-tech firms and knew the city well, he said he felt the city lacked the lifestyle options, cultural diversity, and tolerant attitude that would make it attractive to him. As he summed it up: “How would I fit in here?”

What a change from my own college days, just a little more than 20 years ago, when students would put on their dressiest clothes and carefully hide any counterculture tendencies to prove that they could fit in with the company. Today, apparently, it’s the company trying to fit in with the students.

These young men and their lifestyle represent a lively new force in the economy and life of America. They are members of what I call the creative class: a fast-growing, highly educated, and well-paid part of the workforce on whose efforts corporate profits and economic growth increasingly depend. They do not consciously think of themselves as a class. Yet they share a common belief that values creativity, individuality, difference, and advantage.

1．What would be the best title for the passage?

A．The rise of the creative class                        B．New ideas about recruitment

C．Changed working cultures                           D．A tale of two cities

2．Why were the young people on the university campus?

A．To get recruited in Pittsburgh.

B．To celebrate their successful recruitment.

C．To relax themselves away from work.

D．To meet their old schoolmates.

3．The underlined word “inked” in paragraph 2 probably means “________”.

A．fulfilled                      B．obtained              C．settled                 D．signed

4．Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards the young people?

A．Criticizing                   B．Disappointing       C．Approving           D．Disgusting

5．From the passage we can infer that _________.

A．the young people prefer to work in a small quiet city

B．the high pay is the main attraction to the young people

C．Pittsburgh has many advantages over Austin

D．Pittsburgh doesn’t have enough attractions to the young people
