past. Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike.
Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among today’s youth. Others have attributed(归因于) increased cheating to the fact that today’s youth are far more practical than their idealistic ancestors. Whereas in the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with visions about changing the word, today’s students feel great pressure to survive and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had become easy. Some suggested they did it out of hate for teachers they didn’t respect. Others looked at it as a game. Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty. “People are competitive,” said a second-year college student named Anna, from Chicago. “There is an potential fear. If you don’t do well, your life is going to be ruined. The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself. To achieve. To succeed. It’s almost as though we have to surpass people to achieve our own goals.
Edward Wynne, editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty in the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action. Dwight Huber, chairman of the English Department at Amarillo sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students evaluated. “I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated,” Mr. Huber said. He feels that as long as teachers give short-answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can combine and process information, students will try to beat the system. “ The concept of cheating is based on the false belief that the system is legal and there is something wrong with the individual who’re doing it,” he said, “That’s too easy an answer. We’ve got to start looking at the system.”

Researchers found that at least one in four women exaggerated or twisted what they are doing on social media once a month. The survey of 2000 women found they mostly pretended to be out on the town, when in fact they are home alone, and beautify about an exotic holiday or their job.
The most common reasons for women to write " fibs" included worrying their lives would seem “ boring", jealousy at seeing other people"s more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.
Psychologists suggested that as people attempt to stay connected on social media, they can in fact be left more isolated. They also said that the more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel. According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to dishonesty on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage. Almost one in four admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more than once a week. Nearly 30 percent of women lied about "doing something when I am home alone", almost a quarter overstated their alcohol consumption while one in five were not truthful about their holiday activities or their jobs. Almost one in five women even lied about their "relationship status".
"We work very hard presenting ourselves to the world online, pretending and attempting to be happy all the time which is exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling," said Dr Michael Sinclair, a leading British consultant psychologist. "Leaving out the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our "friends online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized(有同感的)with, resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others. "
小题1:According to the passage, women tend to lie on social networking sites because .
A.they have little fun in their daily lives |
B.they are not satisfied with their present life |
C.they want to entertain their friends and acquaintances |
D.they don"t want to go out and communicate with others |
A.lies. | B.posts. | C.diaries. | D.impressions. |
eventually .
A.feel better about their life | B.become a regular liar in the future |
C.get more isolated in life | D.drink more alcohol in their daily life |
A.we don"t have to feel empathized with our "friends" online |
B.we cannot get satisfaction by lying on social networking sites |
C.it is worthwhile to work hard presenting ourselves to the world online |
D.the imperfections of our lives result in a sense of disconnection from others |
In an event comparable to that of Winston Churchill"s funeral in 1965, Thatcher"s coffin will be carried on a horse-drawn gun carriage through streets lined with admirers from parliament to the city"s most famous cathedral.
The bells of London"s symbolic Big Ben clock tower will fall silent for the first time since Churchill"s funeral and more than 700 men and women from Britain"s armed forces will honor a woman who led them to victory in the 1982 Falklands War as foreign politicians from around 170 nations look on.
Surveys have shown that many are unhappy that the estimated l0-million($15 million)pound bill for the funeral is being picked up by the taxpayer, while some left-wing lawmakers say the luxurious funeral is too expensive.
But her admirers, of whom there are many in her party and in southern England, argue that her historical profile deserves such a funeral. She was the country"s first and only woman premier, was Britain"s longest-serving prime minister of the 20th century, and won three general elections.
More than 2,300 mourners will attend including 11 serving prime ministers from around the world, the British government"s entire cabinet, two heads of state and 17 foreign ministers.
But there will be notable absences. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev is too ill to attend and Nancy Reagan, the widow of Thatcher"s great U·S. ally Ronald Reagan, is also unable to come.
Thatcher struck up a close relationship with Reagan during the Cold War, backed the first President George Bush during the 1991 Gulf War, and was among the first to discover that Gorbachev was a man she could "do business with. ”
Covered in the red, white and blue British flag, Thatcher"s coffin lay overnight in a 13th-century church in Britain"s parliament, a forum she dominated for years.
小题1:From the passage we know that Big Ben clock tower will fall silent to .
A.get repaired for the first time |
B.honour the passing away of the great woman |
C.tell the specific time to the public |
D.welcome the officials from all over the world |
A.Mikhail Gorbachev and Nancy Reagan. |
B.Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan. |
C.Nancy Reagan and Ronald Reagan. |
D.George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev. |
A.strong and smart | B.weak and disappointing |
C.aggressive and warlike | D.stubborn and luxurious |
A.The legend of Thatcher, the “Iron Lady". |
B.Why Big Ben falls silent for the first time? |
C.Who will pay for such a luxurious funeral? |
D.London will witness its biggest political funeral. |
ANCHORAGE, Alaska--The 2004 winner of Alaska’s famous 1,000-mile sled-dog race, the Iditarod, won again at age 53 to become the oldest champion in 2013, a year after his son became the youngest winner.
Mitch Seavey got his dogs to the finishing line first in 9 days, 7 hours, 39 minutes and 56 seconds. His son, Dallas Seavey, now 26, ended up ranking fourth, behind the older competitor, 43-year-old Aliy Zirkle, who followed four-time champion Jeff King, now 57.
Mitch Seavey, who lives in Seward, Alaska, operates a seasonal sled-dog touring business. The race was Mitch Seavey’s 20th Iditarod.
This year’s contest was marked by unusual conditions and unseasonable rain in the northern part of the trail, and conditions that Seavey said helped his team. “It seems like the tougher it is, the better we can do.”
He also thought highly of Zirkle, a New England immigrant(移民)who now lives in Two Rivers, Alaska. “She’s a great musher(赶狗拉雪橇的人), and she’s going to win the Iditarod sometime, and probably more than once. We just had a little more energy, I think.” Zirkle, one of the most popular mushers, was greeted by shouts of “Aliy, Ally” from the fans as she drove her dog team approaching the finishing line on Nome’s Front Street. “I am pretty happy to be here,” she said. “I was going for it.”
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is one of the few major U. S. sports events in which men and women compete on an equal footing. The name “Iditarod” dates from a local Athabascan term meaning “a far, distant place”. Youthful mushers in the race may have some physical advantages--they can do some things more easily. But more importantly, winning the race needs the experience in dog race.
The year’s event started on Saturday, March 2 with a ceremonial nm in Anchorage. Of the 66 mushers who started the race, 10 had dropped out of competition as of Tuesday night. For his victory, Mitch Seavey will take home $50,400 and a new truck.

It is not even called time travel; rather the Chinese people refer it as time crossover.Time crossover has been an extremely popular theme for online novels for years(in fact , it is an indispensible part of China’s online culture), and didn’t get picked up by TV and the big screen until recent two years.Most of time-travel dramas and movies are adapted from popular online novels and like in other cases adaptations are never better than the original books.
The main plot of time-travel novels or TV dramas can be very well summarized in one sentence: from nobody to somebody.Time travel in China is more about escaping from the reality than about realizing wild dreams.
In China , there is no need of time machine either.People travel backwards in time via the possession of antiques presence at historical places of interest encounter of life-threatening accidents or simple a look into the mirror.Some time-travel novels even start with “I wanted to go back to history so much that one morning when I opened my eyes I was back.” Technology is not relevant at all.
Though China is not short of histories to go back to, people have their own preferences and it is pretty much a gender (性别)thing.If the main character is male then he usually goes back to special times in history when he is able to help build up or tear up a dynasty.A typical example is A Step Into the Past(寻秦记), the first time-travel TV drama in China, which tells the story of how a SWAT member helps to unite China and build up Qin Dynasty .
On the other hand , female characters primarily go back to Qing Dynasty partly because Qing Dynasty has the most number of princes to fall in love with.Yongzheng Emperor is the favorite.As can be seen in Startling by Each Step(步步惊心), a Qing time crossover classic, a girl goes back to Qing Dynasty and falls in love with Yongzheng Emperor and his brothers.
小题1:As for time travel in China, which of the following ideas does the writer agree to ?
A.it is complicated and can be classified into science fiction. |

D.it always occurs in any times but the time before. |
A.analyze why the time -travel TV dramas are banned in China |
B.introduce the characteristics of the time-travel TV dramas in China |
C.show the difference between time travel in China and in other cultures |
D.advise people to watch the time-travel TV dramas in China |
A.China now has banned any forms of productions about time travel |
B.adapted from online novels, time-travel TV and movie productions enjoy more praise |
C.the main character always follows a set pattern in the time-travel TV dramas in China |
D.all the time-travel productions are about heroes and their success |
