taxpayer s thoughts turn to it Test time approaches and some students thoughts turn to it You want something you can t get by behaving within the rules and you want it badly enough you ll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret and you re willing to run the risk of being caught That s how Ladd Wheeler psychology professor at the University of Rochester in New York defines cheating Many experts believe cheating is on the rise We re suffering a moral breakdown Pinkard says we re seeing more of the kind of person who regards the world as a series of things to be dealt with Whether to cheat depends on whether it s the person s interest He does however see less cheating among the youngest students Richard Dienabier Psychology 心理学 professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln believes that society s attitudes account for much of the increase in cheating Twenty years age if a person cheated in college society said That is extremely serious you will be dropped for a term if not kicked out permanently he says nowadays at the University of Nebraska for example it is the stated policy of the college of Arts and Sciences that if a student cheats on an exam the student must receive an F on what he cheated on That s nothing If you re going to flunk anyway why not cheat Cheating is most likely in situations where the vital interests are high and the chances of getting

village as being dead are talking nothing but nonsense as in their hearts they must surely know No the village is not dead There is more life in it now than there ever was But it seems that Village life is dead Gone for ever It began to decline 衰落 about a hundred years ago when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work and home was where work was There are still a number of people alive today who can remember What village life meant the early years of the present century It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day It meant going to bed early to save lamp oil and coal Then came the First World War and the Second World War After each war new ideas new attitudes new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers The long established order of society was no longer taken for granted Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make village life and town life almost alike Now with the highly developed science and technology and high level social welfare for all there is no point whatever in talking any longer about village life It is just life and that a better life Finally if we have any doubts about the future or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives we have only to look in at the school playground any mid morning or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups Obviously these children are

equator 赤道 although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there Millions do it but as for the North Pole 北 极 we that it is not only a dangerously cold place but that people like you and me would find it quite impossible to live there At the present time only the scientists and explorers can do so and they use special equipment Men had been traveling across and around the equator on wheels on their feet or in ships for thousands of years but only a few men with great difficulty and in very recent time have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole So it may surprise you to learn that when traveling by air it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator Of course this is not true about landings in the polar region which passenger aeroplanes do not make but the weather if we are flying at a height of 5 000 meters above the Pole is a delight At 4 000 meters and more above the earth you can always be that you will not see a cloud in the sky as far as the eye can reach In the tropics 热带 on the other hand you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18 000 or 20 000 meters Aeroplanes can t climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm

the clouds down low 16 Millions do it In this sentence do it refers to A feeling uncomfortably hot on the equator B flying over the North Pole 最强师资 最低价格 最专业的学位英语网站 5 C flying over the equator D making
