17、e who are lazy and dont work for a living are looked down upon, such as people who have got a fortune from their parents, or those who receive money from the government when they are young enough to take a job. Americans usually are expected to work hard at their regular jobs. They have believed tha

18、t they felt shameful if they did not work as hard and carefully as they could, and God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. This is called the “work ethic“. Its roots are in the Bibles teachings: “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.“ and “Do not work to please men, but j

19、ust please God.“ For 400 years or more, it has been a characteristic of Americans. Historians say that this “work ethic“ was perhaps the single most important reason for the rapid economic growth and continuing success of the United States. For the sake of better work, now companies are much more fl

20、exible in the number of days and hours their employees work. Many offices now allow their employees to choose the time they begin in the morning, so long as they arrive before 10:00 am and work for 8 hours. In America, there are women who choose to stay home as homemakers rather than to pursue a car

21、eer. This is possible if the husbands salary is enough to support the family.

25、_. （ A） The Development of American “Work Ethic“ （ B） Flexible Working-time Arrangements （ C） The Work in America （ D） The Role of Work in America Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Some people argue that self-p

26、lagiarism (自我剽窃 )is impossible by definition because plagiarism is theft and people cannot steal from their own work. But, this is not correct in law. And there are circumstances, such as insurance fraud (保险欺诈 ), etc., when it is possible to steal from oneself. Self-plagiarism, however, must be care

27、fully distinguished from the recycling of ones work that to a greater or lesser extent everyone legally does. Self-plagiarism in academic (学术的 ) publications is a gray area. However, many universities indirectly recognize the practice as deceptive. They publish rules preventing students from handing

28、 in basically the same essay for credit in different courses. There are also rules against someone handing in the same graduate thesis to different universities. Among established academics, self-plagiarism is a problem. It means basically the same article or book is handed in on more than one occas

29、ion for salary raising or promotion. Like all plagiarism the essence of self-plagiarism is the author attempts to cheat the reader. This happens when no indication is given that the work is being recycled or when an effort is made to disguise the original text. For example, an author just makes cosm

30、etic changes to make the same article, chapter, or book look different. But actually it remains unchanged in its central argument. In this ease, disguising a text occurs. Authors change such things as paragraph breaks, capitalization, or the substitution of technical terms in different languages. Wh

31、at he has done is to make readers believe they are reading something completely new. This practice is self-plagiarism. 41 In the second sentence of the first paragraph, “this“ refers to _. （ A） all the activities about plagiarism （ B） the activities of self-plagiarism （ C） the argument for the impos

32、sibility of self-plagiarism （ D） the argument for the possibility of self-plagiarism 42 Which of the following is NOT true about self-plagiarism in academic publications? （ A） It is impossible when one recycles his/her work at such extent as everyone legally does. （ B） It is a clearly defined area e

33、specially in universities. （ C） Handing in the essentially same essay for credit in different courses belongs to it. （ D） Many universities are strongly opposed to it. 43 According to the passage, _ is the essence of self-plagiarism. （ A） the writers pursuit for money or promotion （ B） the writers l

34、aziness at his/her work （ C） the writers deception on himself （ D） the writers deception on the reader 44 The word “cosmetic“ in the last paragraph means _. （ A） beautiful （ B） detailed （ C） surface （ D） general 45 Which of the following does NOT belong to self-plagiarism? （ A） No indication about t

35、he recycling of the work. （ B） Disguising the original work by making small changes. （ C） Indication about the small changes in the work. （ D） Substitution of technical terms in two different languages.

36、 outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50).

Abbreviations are an attempt to communicate information fast and accurately. But this goal i

37、s not always achieved. To many people, particularly to those new to a field, reports and papers sometimes seem to be written in a telegraphic style with abbreviations so interspersed (夹杂 ) as to make the message almost meaningless. Owing to the lack of a comprehensive dictionary of abbreviations and

38、 the diverse definitions of abbreviations among subject areas, it is common practice in most scholarly publications to include in an appendix (目录 ) at the end of the book a list of the abbreviations used. Another method is to explain the abbreviation to the reader the first time it appears. Libraria

39、ns, like everyone else, tend to use abbreviations to save space and time and to eliminate the necessity of repeating words or phrases that are long and complicated. In the library and information science field, abbreviations are used primarily for magazine and book titles, names of organizations, et
