My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations

It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school._________________

Sometime today — perhaps several times — Dick Winter will think about the 19-year-old who saved his life.

Because of this young man, Winter enjoys things like friendships, colours and laughter every day.

The young man saved Winter’s life by signing an organ donor card (器官捐献卡).

“I can’t say thank you enough,” Winter said yesterday at the news conference marking the tenth anniversary (周年纪念日) of the Multi Organ Transplant (移植) Program at Toronto General Hospital.

What Winter knows of the 19-year-old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate his organs for transplantation.

His liver (肝脏) went to Winter, who was dying from liver trouble. “Not a day goes by that I don’t think of what a painful thing it must have been for them,” Winter said yesterday.

“They are very, very special people.”

Winter, 63, is fitter now than he was 10 years ago, when he got the transplant. He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to collect some more next year in Japan.

“At one time, we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now it’s expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before, only better.”

The biggest change for Winter, however, isn’t that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about his life now.

“ I have no time for arguments,” said Winter.

“You change everything. Material things don’t mean as much. Friendships mean a lot.”

Also at yesterday’s news conference was Dr. Gray Levy, Winter’s doctor.

Levy said he has bitter-sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic exploits.

Levy knows that for every recipient (接受者) like Winter, there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren’t enough donated organs.

“For every Mr. Winter, we have five to ten people that will never be given the chance that Mr. Winter was given,” Levy said.

Levy said greater public awareness (意识，认识) and more resources are needed. He noted that in Spain and the United States, hospitals receive $10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room, doctors, nurses and teams to work with the donors’ families.

1．Which of the following is true about the 19-year-old?

Louis Pasteur, the famous French chemist and bacteriologist (细菌学家), invented “pasteurization”. In 1854 Pasteur was made head of the department of science at the University of Lille, and it was there that he made one of his most famous discoveries. Lille was a major centre for wine and beer-making, and some of the local wine-makers asked Pasteur if he could help solve the problem of keeping wine fresh. At that time, it was believed that food and drinks go “bad” due to (because of) a purely chemical process. But during a series of experiments Pasteur proved that tiny living organisms (微生物) caused food and drinks to go bad. In the case of wine and beer the organisms are already present in the form of the various yeasts (酵母) that caused the fermentation (发酵) process. Pasteur discovered that heating the wine gently for a few minutes after it had fermented would kill off the yeast that was left in the wine, with the result that the wine would remain fresh for much longer. He also proved that food and drinks could be turned bad by other organisms that were present in the air, and that they also would keep fresh much longer if they were kept in airtight containers.

The heating process was so successful that it made Pasteur famous. It was named “pasteurization” in his honor, and by about 1900 it had been widely used for processing and bottling cows’ milk. The result was a huge drop in the number of bottle-fed babies dying from infant diarrhea (婴儿腹泻) and from that time on it has been a standard treatment for milk and many other food products. This simple process has saved thousands, possibly millions of lives worldwide.

There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power.

First, the radioactive (有放射性的) material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.

Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.

Third, there may occur (发生) the danger of a leak (泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection (不赞成，反对) to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.

Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster is extremely high.

1．Which of the following is FALSE?

A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.

B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.

C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.

D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.

2. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are__________.

A. easy                         B. impossible                C. reasonable                D. ineffective

3．What do we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The power station is a safe place.

B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.

C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.

D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.

4．What is this passage about?

A. Uses of nuclear power.                          B. Dangers from nuclear power.

C. Public anger at nuclear power.                D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.

I needed to get some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale (大减价). I couldn’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I’ll never forget.

I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock (货物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in “seconds” (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.

When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous.

When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards (保安), looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this wasn’t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.

Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl (爬行) through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves.

Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper (脾气)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.

In the sale fever (狂热), people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain (便宜货) it was OK.

You won’t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm (闹钟) which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.

1．What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper?

A. Last summer’s clothes.

B. Clothes not in perfect (完好无损的) condition.

C. Clothes bought in specially for the sales.

D. Clothes for winter.

2．Which of the following statements is true?

A. The customers gave up the queuing, for which the English are famous.

B. The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted.

C. Small children enjoyed crawling through people’s legs.

D. The security guards were fearless of the crowd.

3．In the author’s opinion, why were Graham’s happy to make their expensive store into a “battlefield’?

A. There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales.

B. They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.

C. They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes.

D. They wanted to make more money by having sales.

4．The expression “crashed out” means __________.

A. chatted with her friends                                B. slept well and deeply

C. broke down                                                        D. ate out

5．What would be the best title for the passage?

A. The Best Bargain                                          B. Hunting for a Job

C. Sale Fever                                                   D. A Pleasant Fortnight
