Researchers in Germany   3    people at home and asked them to toss(投掷) a coin.

Because they were  on the phone, they knew there was no     5 _ of getting caught ifthey lied.

And yet people told the     6    . Over hundreds of tosses, a coin will land tails-up about 50% of the time. In this    7    0ver halfthe people asked (55.6%) said that the coin landed heads-up, which meant they would receive nothing.

Previous studies had found that people were more    8   . In those laboratory studies, 75% of people reported a - 9   coin and asked for a reward. So the research team thinks it's being in our own homes that makes us play fair, although it's not yet clear why.

A

James Dean was not very tall-he was less than average height. He had thick, light brown hair and blue eyes. He was so near-sighted that he could hardly see anything without his glasses.

He came to Hollywood when he was eighteen, hoping to get into the movies. At first, he was not successful at all, and for a time he was so short of money that he had to live entirely on dry oatmeal. Then he went to New York. He got a part in a play and was seen by the great director Elia Kazan. Kazan was planning the movie East of Eden and realized Dean would be perfect for one of the main roles.

By this time, Dean already had a reputation for being odd and difficult to work with. He then went back to Hollywood to make East of Eden and then made two more movies, Rebel Withhout a Cause and Giant. He almost always wore the same overcoat and jeans and he had hardly any friends at all. "If he didn't like you, he wouldn't even give you the pleasure of his anger. You could be in the same telephone booth with him, but you wouldn't exist," someone who knew him said later.

In spite of his poor eyesight, he loved driving fast motorcycles and even faster sports cars. A few days after he finished Giant, on September 25, 1955, Dean went for a drive in his new Porsche. It was evening and the light was poor. Dean was not wearing his glasses. Suddenly, he saw a car in front of him. It was slowing down and trying to turn off the highway. Dean tried to slow down too, but it was  too late. He hit the car at high speed and was killed immediately.

Two German girls killed themselves when they heard the news because "life would be

unbearable without him." A few years later, a New York salesclerk wrote a book called Jimmy Dean  Returns in which she claimed that she was in contact with Dean from the other side of the grave. Half  a million copies of the book were sold. It was only the beginning of a strange legend(传奇) that goes  on, even today.

Do you know the open-air art gallery in London's Blackall Street? Probably -not. Not many  Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.

Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity(慈善机构) that helps homeless people get  back on their feet by becoming tour guides.

Rather than show traditional London sights, “Unseen Tours" take people off the beaten track. Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.

When he felt separated from the society, contact with the volunteer network "The Sock Mob" gave Henri hope. "Not everyone just looked down on me," he said. The tours aren't the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortune to stand tall again.

An innovative(创新的) college for homeless people in London, the first ofits kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students. The Recovery College, set up by St Mungo's charity, is providing  courses designed to improve technical skills and life skills.
