The most efficient way of stopping people from stealing bikes seems so simple. If you want to persuade thieves not to act, make them feel they’re being watched! Posters showing a large pair of eyes were put up near three bike racks (自行车架) at the university. The researchers explained that the number of thefts decreased by 62 per cent compared to the previous year. Experts claim that the images of eyes make people feel they’re being watched. They say that we all care what other people think about us and that’s why we behave better when we think someone is looking. The “giant eyes” poster isn’t the only unusual method being used on UK streets. In the East Midlands city of Leicester, police are inviting people to make large woolly balls and hang them up in trees around the area. They hope that these colourful additions to neighbourhoods will help create a safer place to live. The thinking behind the idea is that if you create a pleasant environment, people are more likely to behave better. “We live in a world where our every move is being watched by CCTV cameras”, one of the organizers told us. “The cameras are there to deter (威慑) possible criminals, but they come at a price, and many people don’t like being watched 24 hours a day. We believe there’s another way. We want to encourage people to take more pride in where they live.” However, not all residents (居民) are happy. Many of them refuse to believe it will make any difference. They’re demanding that the police do more and stop wasting their time on mad plans like this and do some real policing. We need to see more policemen walking around our streets, especially at night. 53. What is the most efficient way of persuading thieves not to act? ___________________________________ 54. Where were the “giant eyes” posters placed? ___________________________________ 55. Why did the number of thefts decrease at racks with posters? ___________________________________ 56. What are the disadvantages of CCTV cameras? ___________________________________ 57. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to? ___________________________________ 58. Do you believe the second method will work? Why or why not? ___________________________________ 【答案】53. Make them feel they’re being watched. 54. Near three bike racks at the university. 55. The images of eyes make people feel they’re being watched. 56. Many people don’t like being watched 24 hours a day. 57. Inviting people to make large woolly balls and hang them up in trees around the area. 58. No, I don’t.

D Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) Getting Creative with crime An experiment carried out at Newcastle University aimed at reducing the number of bike thefts has produced some unusual results. The most efficient way of stopping people from stealing bikes seems so simple. If you want to persuade thieves not to act, make them feel they’re being watched! Posters showing a large pair of eyes were put up near three bike racks (自行车架) at the university. The researchers explained that the number of thefts decreased by 62 per cent compared to the previous year. Experts claim that the images of eyes make people feel they’re being watched. They say that we all care what other people think about us and that’s why we behave better when we think someone is looking. The “giant eyes” poster isn’t the only unusual method being used on UK streets. In the East Midlands city of Leicester, police are inviting people to make large woolly balls and hang them up in trees around the area. They hope that these colourful additions to neighbourhoods will help create a safer place to live. The thinking behind the idea is that if you create a pleasant environment, people are more likely to behave better. “We live in a world where our every move is being watched by CCTV cameras”, one of the organizers told us. “The cameras are there to deter (威慑) possible criminals, but they come at a price, and many people don’t like being watched 24 hours a day. We believe there’s another way. We want to encourage people to take more pride in where they live.” However, not all residents (居民) are happy. Many of them refuse to believe it will make any difference. They’re demanding that the police do more and stop wasting their time on mad plans like this and do some real policing. We need to see more policemen walking around our streets, especially at night. 53. What is the most efficient way of persuading thieves not to act? ___________________________________ 54.
