10、between Writers and PrisonersBTwo recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economi

11、cs in Sweden did the study.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoners Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so

12、 they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded themost earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded the

13、 least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse（虐待）. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups.

14、More than eight hundred children were aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used ph

15、ysical punishment and children whose parents did not. The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are spanked, the slower their mental development. 25. Which

16、 of the following is TRUE according to the second study?A. Childrens IQs have much to do with physical punishment.B. The study is about violence and cooperation of children.C. The children tested were divided into groups of four.D. Childrens mental development only relies on their IQs.26. What does

17、the underlined word “spanked” refer to?A. punished B. blamed C. tested D. praised27. What might be the best title for the text?A. The Best Way to Correct MisbehaviorB. Punishment Is the Best Way of EducationC. Cooperation Is the Most Successful BehaviorD. Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on

18、Behavior? CCar companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets, ust like many laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and Mp4 do. Called “plug-in vehicles”, these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers wont have to stop at gas stations as often as usua

19、l. The technology is more than just cool. In our car-filled world, plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gas we use, which keeps rising in cost now and then. Besides, driving around in these vehicles may even help the environment. Gas-burning cars produce a lot of greenhouse gas, which causes

20、global warming. The first company-produced plug-in vehicles could hit the roads by 2020. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.Batteries are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-vehicle world，Li-ion(锂离子)batteries are getting the most attention

21、. These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package, and they last a longer time between charges. Li-ion batteries can fit laptops, cell phones, heart instruments and other similar pocket ones.But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion b

22、atteries to power about 12km of driving. Whats more, the batteries are much expensive.“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance,” says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago. “But it couldnt pull any people, and it would cost $100,000.” So researchers need to work out how to make ba

23、tteries smaller and cheaper, among other questions.“The answers dont exist yet, ” Bohn says, “As a kid, I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything. All of these questions havent been decided. Thats what engineering is about-making a guess, running tests and getting fine results.”28Ac
