8、 an honesty box a box where you pay for something by putting money in it but it relies on you putting the right amount of cash in. This relies on people being honest and not trying to cheat but it does provide a temptation to get away with not paying the full amount.Philip Graves, a psychologist, su

9、ggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says, “We have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. Its part of our evolutionary psychological make-up because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.”So why do we place such importanc

10、e on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? Its because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. As Philip Graves says, “There is a balance to strike between the extent to which we can feather our own nes

11、t, so to speak, and the risk of being ostracized (排斥) by the group.” So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.Being trustworthy with money is of course vital for an economy to survive.

Now Im studying low clouds.But I didnt really notice low clouds until I started my study at the University of

16、Washington, in Seattle. That city had a lot of low clouds. I suddenly realized how important their reflection of heat back into space was for Earths climate. I continued studying how clouds at the University of Colorado in Boulder. There I earned my PhD.Seattles skies may be home to plenty of low cl

These places are home to some of Earths driest deserts. And I like visiting such places.The more I learned about these littl

18、e clouds, the more fascinating I found them. Im really interested in the various ways these low clouds respond to their environment.

19、 the whole energy balance of the planet.Lately Ive been exploring how smoke that drifts(漂浮 )over clouds might change the way that these clouds absorb or reflect sunlight. Such smoke -from burning trees and grasses-can drift thousands of kilometers. If that smoke affects clouds, it might also affect

Last year, I spent a month on distant Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean setting up instruments to track the interaction(相互作用) between low clouds there and smoke from southern Africa.I appreciate the diversity in my work.

27、, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard.

His father taught him the basics and encour

28、aged him to keep practising, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emestos dream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.Standing up on

29、a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaiis board-breaking Pipeline is another.

34、ed in terms of data. Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. Data can make our life easier and more comfortable. What is more important, data seem to be fairer than words or st

35、atements. 16 . Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data.On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so-called specific research, arent we a little too narrow-minded? Many people often treat the so-calle

36、d specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. 17 . For example, how can you tell that somebody isnt a good student just because he or she doesnt get high marks in the final examination?There are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data.
