19、eating is nothing new. But today, educators and administrators are finding that instances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequentand are less likely to be punishedthan in the past. Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike. Why is
20、student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among todays youth. Others have attributed increased cheating to the fact that todays youth are far more pragmatic (实用主义的 ) than their more idealistic predecessors. Whereas in the late sixt
21、ies and early seventies, students were filled with visions about changing the world, todays students feel great pressure to conform 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 th
22、ey did it out of spite for teachers they did not 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. Theres an underlying fear. If you dont do well, your life is go
23、ing to be ruined. The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from oneself. To achieve. To succeed. Its almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals. Edward Wynne, a magazine editor, blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools. He claims that administra
24、tors 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 are evaluated. “ I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated,“ Mr. Huber said. He feels that as long as
25、 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 put information together, students will try to beat the system. “The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is legit
26、imate and there is something wrong with the individuals who are doing it,“ he said.“Thats too easy an answer. Weve got to start looking at the system. “ 21 Educators are finding that students who cheat_. （ A） are more likely to be punished than before （ B） have poor academic records （ C） are not onl

We take out home loans we cant afford. We run up
31、 sky-high credit card debt.We dont save nearly enough for retirement. In response,supporters of financial-literacy education are moving with renewed enthusiasm. School districts in states such as New Jersey and Illinois are adding money-management courses to their curriculums.The Treasury and Educat
32、ion departments are sending lesson plans to high schools and encouraging students to compete in the National Financial Capability Challenge that begins in March. Students with top scores on that exam will receive certificates but chances for long-term benefits are slim. As it turns out, there is lit
33、tle evidence that traditional efforts to boost financial know-how help students make better decisions outside the classroom. Even as the financial-literacy movement has gained steam over the past decade, scores have been falling on tests that measure how well students learn about things such as budg
34、eting, credit cards, insurance and investments. A recent survey of college students conducted for the Jump Start Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy found that students whod had a personal-finance or money-management course in highschool scored no better than those who hadnt. “ We need to figu
35、re out how to do this the right way,“ says Lewis Mandell, a professor at the University of Washington who after 15 years of studying financial-literacy programs has come to the conclusion that current methods dont work. A growing number of researchers and educators agree that a more radical approach
36、 is needed. They advocate starting financial education a lot earlier than high school, putting real money and spending decisions into kids hands and talking openly about the emotions and social influences tied to how we spend. Other initiatives are tackling such real-world issues as the commercial a
37、nd social pressures that affect purchasing decisions. Why exactly do you want those expensive brand-name shoes so badly? “ It takes confidence to take a stand and to think differently,“ says Jeroo Billimoria, founder of Aflatoun, a nonprofit whose curriculum, used in more than 30 countries, aims to
38、help kids get a leg up in their financial lives.“This goes beyond money and savings. “ 26 The financial-literacy education is intended to_. （ A） increase Americans awareness of the financial crisis （ B） renew Americans enthusiasm about money-management （ C） enable Americans to manage money wisely （
39、D） help Americans to overcome the financial crisis 27 According to the author, the National Financial Capability Challenge will be_. （ A） rewarding （ B） ineffective （ C） well-received （ D） costly 28 By saying that “the financial-literacy movement has gained steam“(Para. 3),the author means that the
40、movement_. （ A） has been regarded as imaginative （ B） has received much criticism （ C） has gone through financial difficulties （ D） has been more and more popular 29 Lewis Mandell suggests that we should figure out how to_. （ A） carry out financial-literacy education properly （ B） manage money in a
41、more efficient way （ C） help students score better in money-management courses （ D） improve the social awareness of financial education 30 Jeroo Billimoria is most likely to agree that commercial and social pressures make ones purchasing decisions_ （ A） difficult （ B） acceptable （ C） unwise （ D） fea
42、sible 30 The American publics obsession with dieting has led to one of the most dangerous health misconceptions of all times. Many television ads, movies, magazine articles, and diet-food product labels would have consumers believe that carbohydrates (碳水化合物 ) are bad for the human body and that thos
43、e who eat them will quickly become overweight. We are advised to avoid foods such aspotatoes, rice and white bread and opt for meats and vegetables instead. Some companies promote this idea to encourage consumers to buy their “carb-free“ food products. But the truth is, the human body needs carbohyd
44、rates to function properly, and a body that relies on carbohydrates but is exhausted of this dietary element is not in good shape after all. Most foods that we consume on a daily basis like potatoes and rice are loaded with carbohydrates. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates have many health be
45、nefits; some fight diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease, and others help to prevent cancer and stroke. Cutting these foods out of your diet may deprive your body of the many health benefits of carbohydrates. One of the best benefits of carbohydrates is their ability to help to main
46、tain the health of our organs, tissues, and cells. Scientific studies have shown that one type of carbohydrate called fiber reduces the risk of heart disease. Carbohydrates also contain antioxidants (抗氧化剂 ) , which protect the bodys cells from harmful particles with the potential to cause cancer. Th
47、is does not mean that the human body can survive on a diet composed entirely of carbohydrates. We also need certain percentages of proteins and fats to maintain healthy bodies. But carbohydrates certainly should not be avoided altogether. In fact, the food pyramid, the recommended basis of a healthy
48、 diet, shows that a person should consume six to eleven servings of breads and grains, as well as three to four servings each of fruits and vegetables all carbohydrate-containing foods.It is easy to see why cutting carbohydrates out of a persons diet is not a good idea.The only way to know what is t
49、ruly healthy for your own body is to talk to a nutritionist or dietician, who can help you choose foods that are fight for you as well as guide you toward a proper exercise program for weight loss, or muscle gain. These professionals will never tell you to cut out carbohydrates entirely! The bottom line: listen to the experts, not the advertisers! 31 As is used in Paragraph 1, the word “exhausted“ most possibly means_. （ A） starving （ B） startled （ C） dep
