the trend on a general loosening of moral values among todays youth. others have attributed(归因于) increased cheating to the fact that todays 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, todays 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 didnt 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 dont 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. its 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 whore doing it,” he said, “thats too easy an answer. weve got to start looking at the system.” 47educators are finding that students who cheat_.a. have poor academic recordsb. use the information in late yearsc. can be academically weak or strongd. are more likely to be punished than before48which of the following statements reflects the information in the passage? a. the pressure students faced with is partly the reason causing the student cheating.b. only the educational system and administrators are to blame for the rise in the cheating.c. the 1960s vision of changing the world helped students never make mistakes.d. punishment for cheaters has always been severe in this country. 49the phrase “the individuals” in line 8, para 3 refers to _. a. students who practice cheating b. parents who put pressure on their children. c. school administrators who approve of short-answer tests. d. teachers who are too hesitant to take actions against cheating. 50the author probably would agree with the point of view that _.a. students who cheat should be driven out of school b. parents alone must take responsibility for the rise in student cheatingc. the educational system is sound, and students must follow every rule d. the educational system in this country would benefit from a thorough evaluation 四七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。51 if you are growing tomatoes in your backyard
