When people cheat, its not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test - unless the person cheats again. Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they cant pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldnt study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you dont have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.56The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _.Ait does harm to their heath Bit is unfair to other peopleCteachers should punish them Dteachers shouldnt stop them at once57Some students like cheating mainly because_.Athe material in the test is very difficultBthey want to do better than the othersCthey have little time to study their lessons Dcheating can make hard things seem very easy58The fourth paragraph mainly tells us_.Awhy kids cheat in the test Bcheating isnt a good ideaCsome kids cant pass the test without cheatingDsome kids dont spend the time studying59We can learn from the passage_. Acheaters are often thought highly ofBparents whose kids cheat are often in trouble Cpeople show no respect for those who cheatDkids cheat in the test because of swim practiceBIn the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation like five dots. During the following years, farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.The circles are called “crop circles” because they appear in the fields of grain usually wheat or corn. The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken; it continues to grow, and farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September.At first, people thought that the circles were a hoax. Probably young people were making them as a joke, or farmers were making them to attract tourists. To prove that the circles were a hoax, people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found. They couldnt do it. They couldnt enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldnt flatten the grain without breaking it. Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles the same downward lash of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations: crop circles often appear in formations, like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.60. In the summer of 1978, an English farmer discovered in his field that _. A some of his wheat had fallen onto the groundB. his grain was growing up in circles C. his grain was moved into several circlesD. some of his wheat had been damaged61. The underlined word hoax in Paragraph 3 is probably _. A. a special way to plant cropsB. an experiment for the protection of crops C. a research on the force of windsD. an attempt made to fool people62. One explanation given by scientists for the crop circles is that they are made by _.A. airplane crashes B. unknown flying objects C. new farming techniques D. air movementC New York Wednesday, October fifteenth, is the first Global Hand Washing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (病菌). They say the correct way to wash hands is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾), which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half.63. The most suitable title for the text would be _. A. Hand Washing Gets a Day of Its OwnB. It Is Soap That Matters C. Partnership for Hand Washing Takes ActionD. Hand Washing Brings Good Health64. The Partnership creates Global Hand Washing Day to _. A. help the developing countries B. promote the importance of soap in hand washingC. make a culture of hand washing in the third worldD call on people to wash hands65. The following facts can explain why soap is important EXCEPT that _. A. soap helps to get rid of more germs off hands B. soap attracts people to do more hand washing C. soap gets people into the habit of washing hands D. soap gives people a longer hand washing time66. According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that _. A. causes the greatest number of child deaths B can be prevented by washing hands with soap C. makes soap stand out in hand washing D. kills half of the kids in developin
