A I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test. 1. The story took place exactly ____ .
A. in the teacher’s office B. in an exam room C. in the school D. in the language lab
2. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____ . A. she had not brought a pen with her
1
B. she had lost her own on her way to school C. there was something wrong with her own D. her own had been taken away by someone
3. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____ .
A. to go on writing his paper B. to stop whispering
C. to leave the room immediately D. to stay behind after the exam 4. The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was(were) ____ .
A. honesty B. sense of duty C. seriousness D. all of the above 5. The boy knew everything ____ .
A. the moment he was asked to stay behind B. when the teacher started talking about honesty C. only some time later
D. when he was walking out of the room
B At the close of each business day, most trained teachers, administrators, politicians, and statesmen make objective analyses of all that has transpired. They then carefully evaluate performance in the achievement of certain specified objectives. You, as a student, would be wise to adopt the same practice and reflect upon your performance in relating to the achievement of certain personal and educational objectives.
First, what was your purpose, your motivational force in seeking an education? Did you seek an education in active performance, or did you seek to be educated in passive reception and automatic acquisition of information that was fed to you? Was the profit motive your primary motivation for obtaining an education? Do you want a better education for the sole purpose of getting a better job? What does the educational process really mean to you?
We are part of a world in which men thrill to the touch of gold and hearts respond to the word money instead of being thrilled by the thought of good. We five in a world in which we are taught that the pursuit of happiness is an equation for the most rapid acquisition of money, by whatever means.
If profit and money are your first priorities, and compassion and commitment to people your least concern, you have done little other than accumulate some facts and compile some information for future reference. If making money is your daydream and losing money your nightmare, if poverty is your worst fear and making money your most fervent prayer, you have missed the opportunity for education. You have failed yourself and have only received Nome instruction.
1. This passage suggests that students should______.
2
A. assess their aims for learning B. learn more to earn more C. evaluate their politicians and statesmen D. keep knowledge to themselves 2．The educational procedure should be one in which the student______. A. does what he is told
B. gets a better education to get a better job
C. makes principles of education for self-betterment of their aims D. approaches the benefits of being well-off 3. The author seems to feel that______.
A. people's welfare should be the chief concern in learning B. profit has nothing to do with people C. poverty is good for the soul
D. knowledge is not the main objective for learning 4．A good title for the selection might be______. A. The Benefit of Education
B. Education Motivation—Progress or Profit C. Self-Education D. Profit and Money
5. The word \A. a very bad dream B. unhappiness
C. sleeplessness D. a hazard to your health
C
It is well known that when an individual joins a group he tends to accept the group's standards of behavior and thinking. Many illustrations could be given of this from everyday life, but what is of particular interest to psychologists is the extent to which people's judgments and opinions can be changed as a result of group pressure. Asch and others noticed that people in a group will agree to statements that are contrary to the evidence of their senses. It would be a mistake to think that only particular changeable people are chosen to take part in experiments of this type. Usually highly intelligent and independent people are used.
In a typical experiment, this is what may happen. The experimenter asks for volunteers to join a group which is investigating visual perception. The victims are not, therefore, aware of the real purpose of the experiment. Each volunteer is taken to a room where he finds a group of about seven people who are collaborating with the experimenter. The group is shown a standard card which contains a single line. They are then asked to look at a second card. This has three lines on it. One is obviously longer than the line on the first card, one is shorter and one the same length. They have to say which line on the second card is the same length as the line on the standard card. The other members of the group answer first but what the volunteer does not know is that they have been told to pick one of the wrong lines. When his turn comes he is faced with the unanimous opinion of the rest of the group—all the others have chosen line A but he quite clearly sees line B as correct.
3
What will he do? According to Asch, more than half of the victims chosen will change their opinion. What is equally surprising is that, when interviewed about their answers, most explained that they know the group choice was incorrect but that they yield to the pressure of the group because they thought they must be suffering from an optical illusion, or because they were afraid of being different. 1. The psychologists are particularly interested in_______. A. the changes in the attitudes of the people B. the degree of changes of people's opinions C. the result of the experiment
D. the difference in people's characters
2. People who are usually chosen to take part in the experiments are_______. A. stubborn and independent B. intelligent
C. ignorant and docile D. capable of reasoning 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The experimenter and all the members of the group except the victim know the purpose of the experiment.
B. All of them know the purpose of the experiment.
C. Only the experimenter knows the purpose of the experiment. D. Only the victim knows the purpose of the experiment.
4. More than half of the victims changed their opinion because_______. A. someone in the group changed their opinion B. they thought their eyes must be deceived C. they thought the group choice was correct. D. they had been told about the answer
5. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to_______.
A. illustrate the influence of the group's pressure on individual's behavior B. invite more volunteers to join in Asch's experiment C. tell the audience how to perform psychological experiment D. encourage people to act against the group's opinion
D
I have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happen to be that put-upon member of society—a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more I'm convinced that things are being run solely to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a harmful new motto for so-called \organizations—Staff Before Service.
How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there weren't enough staff on duty to man all the service grilles of checkout counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to recruit cashiers and counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at higher prices, claim that enshrouding all their cash registers at any one time

would increase overheads. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service grilles to be occupied \
It's the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is curtailed. As for us guests, we just have to put up with it. There's also the nonsense of so many so friendly hotel night porters having been dismissed in the interests of \profits) and replaced by coin guzzling machines. Not to mention the coldness of the tea-making kit in your room: a kettle with an assortment of teabags, plastic milk cartons and lump sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I don't, especially when I am paying for \

3. According to the writer, long queues at counters are caused by _______. A. difficulties in recruiting staff B. inadequate staffing arrangements C. staff being made lazy D. lack of co-operation between the staff 4. Service organizations claim that keeping the checkout counters manned would result in _________.
A. a rise in the price for providing services B. demands by cashiers for more money C. insignificant benefits for the customers D. the need to purchase expensive equipment
