Near an honesty box, in which people placed coffee fund contributions, researchers at Newcastle University in the UK alternately displayed images of eyes and of flowers. Each image was displayed for a week at a time. During all the weeks in which eyes were displayed, bigger contributions were made than during the weeks when flowers were displayed. Over the ten weeks of the study, contributions during the ‘eyes weeks’ were almost three times higher than those made during the ‘flowers weeks.’ It was suggested that ‘the evolved psychology of cooperation is highly sensitive to subtle cues of being watched,’ and that the findings may have implications for how to provide effective nudges toward socially beneficial outcomes.

② Flowers Work Better than Eyes

Like anything else involving effort, compassion takes practice. We have to try to help those who are in trouble. Sometimes offering help is a simple matter that is not out of our way — remembering to speak a kind word to someone who is down, or spending an occasional Saturday morning volunteering. At other times, helping involves some real sacrifice. “A bone to the dog is not charity,” Jack London said. “Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.” If we practice helping others, we’ll be ready to act when those times which require real, hard sacrifice come along.

① benefits of living with others in harmony

② effects of practice in speaking kindly

③ importance of practice to help others

④ means for helping people in trouble

⑤ difficulties with forming new habits

Social relationships benefit from people giving each other compliments from time to time because people like to be liked and receive compliments. In that respect, social lies such as deceiving but pleasing words (“I like your new haircut.”) may benefit mutual relations. Social lies are told for psychological reasons and serve both self-interest and the interest of others. They serve self-interest because liars notice that their lies could please others, or avoid an awkward situation or discussions. They serve the interest of others because hearing the truth all the time (“You look much older now than you did a few years ago.”) could damage a person’s confidence and self-esteem.

① ways to differentiate between truth and lies

② roles of self-esteem in building relationships

③ importance of praise in changing others’ behaviors

④ balancing between self-interest and public interest

⑤ influence of social lies on interpersonal relationships

Have you ever wondered why a dog doesn’t fall over when he changes directions while running? When a dog is running and has to turn quickly, he throws the front part of his body in the direction[he wants to go. His back then bends, but his hind part will still continue in the original direction. Naturally, this turning movement might result in the dog’s hind part swinging wide. And this could greatly slow his rate of movement or even cause the dog to fall over as he tries to make a high-speed turn. However, the dog’s tail helps to prevent this. Throwing his tail in the same direction[that his body is turning serves to reduce the tendency to spin off course.

* hind: 뒤쪽의

① effects of a dog’s weight on its speed

② role of a dog’s tail in keeping balance

③ factors causing a dog’s bad behaviors

④ importance of training a dog properly

⑤ reasons why a dog jumps on people

Go! 高!

The government laws require sugar to be listed first on food product labels. But if a food has different sweeteners, they can be listed farther down on the list. This requirement has led the food industry to put in three different sources of sugar so that they don’t have to say the food has that much sugar. So sugar doesn’t appear first. Whatever the true motive, ingredient labeling doesn’t tell how much sugar is in the food, certainly not in simple language. A world-famous cereal brand’s label, for example, indicates that the cereal has 11 grams of sugar per serving. But nowhere does it tell consumers that more than one-third of the box contains added sugar.
