I've cheated in school when I thought that I could get away with it. I'm not proud of it and I don't usually feel very good about myself afterward, but sometimes it's the only way possible to survive in a pressure cooker. My parents are really set on my getting good grades. They study my report card the same way they examine the newspaper's stock market page. And they make me feel that I've got to live up to their expectations.
But often each teacher acts as if his is the only subject we have. They think nothing of piling on our homework or giving surprise quizzes. Sometimes we have to take two or three tests in different subjects on the same day. I'd like to see a lot of adults I know preparing for that.
When the pressure becomes too high, some kids may resort to(诉诸于) cheating. If you have three or four subjects to study for, you're not going to be able to devote enough time to each subject in order to be well prepared for each class. Besides, it may be the only way left to live up to your parents' expectations and compete with the top students in the class.
Everybody knows that if you cheat, it's important not to get caught. Few things can cause more of chaos. Once, my elder brother got caught cheating on a math final. My parents acted as though he'd committed a federal crime. The assistant principal called them to school, but although the incident caused several conferences, I don't think that anybody ever really understood what my brother was going through. We're just supposed to perform outstandingly as well as always act honestly, but how many adults can actually live up to the standards they set for us?
My father has gotten countless traffic tickets for parking in no parking zones or for not coming to a full stop at stop signs. And you're always hearing about people who don't file their income tax honestly. How about all the corruption in government? Successful adults often accept dishonesty in order to achieve their business goals. Are kids the only ones who are supposed to be perfect?
Most of my friends have cheated on tests in school at one time or another. The kids who never cheat are usually either afraid of getting caught or just don't know how to do it safely. Nobody wants to cheat. But if it's a choice of being honest or of getting a grade, most kids will try for the A. That may sound wrong, but we didn't make the rules, we're just trying to get by.
1. What is the best title of this passage?
A. No one wants to cheat！                               B. Everyone likes to cheat！
C. No one can survive a cheat！                        D. Everyone can fight a cheat!

A. his father always cheats in his life

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience．” How right they were!
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm．” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson．It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough．It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” When others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted．Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments．Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping．
We are all born with wide-eye, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age．At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach．As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped (弯曲的)shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes．As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, “Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul．”
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power．Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm．She replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, ‘I never made a dime until I stopped working for money．’”
If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby．Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan was 68 before she began to draw．This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am tempted to call Layton a genius．”
We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”．We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”．We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses – finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow．
1．The author holds the view that ______．
A．enthusiastic people will never get old
B．enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life
C．enthusiasm is more important than experience
D．enthusiasm can give people more success and fame
2．Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
A．Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times．
B．If you don’t have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothing．
C．Enthusiastic people never consider money and fame．
D．Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honor．
3．The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ______．
A．music can arouse people’s enthusiasm
B．enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed
C．enthusiasm can make people feel young
D．enthusiasm can keep people healthy
4．How many examples are given in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?
A．Two．                    B．Three．                  C．Four．                   D．Five．

Scientists find that hardworking people live longer than average men and women．Career （职业）women are healthier than housewives．Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the jobholders．An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1％，the death rate increases by 2％．All this comes down to one point．work is helpful to health．
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness．Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do．Instead the happiest are those who are busy．Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard．Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other．By collective（集体的）activity they find friendship and warmth．This is helpful to health．The loss of work means the loss of everything．It affects man spiritually and makes him ill．
Besides，work gives one a sense of achievement．Work makes one feel his value in society．When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words．
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be．Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life．
1．What may be the reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women?
A．Housewives are poorer than career women．
B．Housewives have more children than career women．
C．Housewives have less chance to communicate with others．
D．Housewives eat less food than career women．
