(原创)Taking exams in a large group setting can be stressful for students and for the staff members who are watching over them.
When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together,
cheating might be tempting.
One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat
that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’
papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats
made its way to the Internet, and the university was criticized for
making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats.
The hats were made by stapling pieces of paper onto a headband,
one to each side of the head.
After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the uping exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most suitable.
The university claimed that no one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed, ”Nattad on Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said. “It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way, ”Rungruangkitkrai added.

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把…归类) as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(卑鄙的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility(高尚).
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
16 According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.
A. self-respect
B. financial rewards
C. advertising ability
D. friendly relationship
17. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_______.
A. lying
B. stealing
C. cheating
D. advertising
18. The underlined phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" means_______.
A. telling the truth to the clerk
B. offering advice to the clerk
C. asking the clerk to be more attentive
D. reminding the clerk of the charged item
19. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A. We'll be very excited.
B. We'll feel unfortunate.
C. We'll have a sense of honor.
D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
20. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. How to Live Truthfully
B. Importance of Peacefulness
C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect
D. Happiness through Honorable Actions

人教版2020版高考英语阅读理解一轮提升选练(6)(含解析)
2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮提升选练（6） 李仕才 A (2017·陕西省高三质检) Many people have bought insurance，either life or property(财产)，commercial or compulsory.Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function. Insurance is the sharing of risks.Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some sort.The house owner，for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire；the shipowner knows that his ships may be lost at sea；the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer.On the other hand，not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small amount of money into a pool，there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses.In other words，the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many.This is the basis of insurance.Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who manage the__pool__of__contributions as insurers. The legal basis of all insurance is the policy.This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality.It states that every year the insured shall pay an amount of money，which is called the premium；in return, the insurer will pay an amount of money or compensation for losses if the risk or event insured against actually happens. The premium for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen，

Unit 4 Helping people around the world 李仕才 一、阅读理解。 The American travel website company TripAdvisor publishes a list of the world's best beaches every year.Today，we are going to explore some of this year's top 10 beaches in the world. 1．Baia do Sancho，Brazil It is named as this year's best beach in the world.Its water is calm and clear.Its sand is fine and soft.But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy.It is on Fernando de Noronha，a volcanic island more than 300 kilometers off Brazil's coast.Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there.And no more than 420 visitors can be on the island at one time. 2．Grace Bay，Turks and Caicos While Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to，TripAdvisor's second-ranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach. This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand.Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming，snorkeling，or simply floating.Once on land，many visitors enjoy walking—barefoot—for several kilometers on the soft，warm sand. 3．Eagle Beach，Aruba To get to the third-best beach，we head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba.Like Grace Bay，Eagle Beach has clear，calm waters and soft white sand. It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports，including tubing and jet skiing.Eagle Beach may be best known，however，for its dramatic sunsets.On clear nights，the sky turns red，orange，and purple. 4．Playa Paraiso，Cuba The fourth-best beach is Playa Paraiso，an island off Cuba's southern coast.It has a fun，laid-back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink.There is little else on the beach.And that is exactly what visitors like about it.People come here for the sugar-like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife. 1．Which of the following is true about Baia do Sancho? A．It receives thousands of visitors each time. B．It can only be visited by plane. C．It is near the Brazil's coast. D．It is hard to reach. 2．Where can visitors go if they want to enjoy the beauty of the sinking sun? A．Baia do Sancho，Brazil. B．Grace Bay，Turks and Caicos. C．Eagle Beach，Aruba.
2019高考英语阅读理解 短文改错 选练6 含答案
2016高考英语阅读理解和短文改错选练（6） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项. Have you ever looked toward the sky on a fall day and witnessed a group of migrating birds? If so, you probably noted the V-shaped formation of the birds or the birds flying in a ball-like formation. Why do birds fly this way? Many theories have been developed to explain the formation patterns of different types of birds. One theory is that birds fly in certain formations to take advantage of the laws of nature. The birds know that flying in a V-shaped pattern will save energy. Like the lead cyclist in a race who decreases wind force for the cyclists who follow, the lead bird cuts wind force for the birds that follow. This decrease in wind force means that the birds use up to 70 percent less energy during their flight. When the lead bird becomes tired, a more rested bird takes over that position. But saving energy is important for more than one reason. Sometimes food is short during migration flights. Keeping energy enables the birds to fly longer distances between meals. When food is sighted, the birds guide one another in a different way. When a bird identifies a familiar feeding area, it might turn around in order to signal the group to change direction. Then, this bird becomes the new leader. It helps guarantee that other birds will know exactly where it is going. Then the whole group makes a change in direction, gently streaming from the sky down to the ground. This formation is like an arrow pointing to the location of food. Scientists have also studied the birds that sometimes fly in a ball-like formation. Researchers believe that the birds come together if a predator（天敌） is spotted. The predator may then become impatient waiting for a single bird to fly away from the group. The birds will often dip and dive as a group, frustrating even the most persistent enemy. Scientists report that this is a very effective method of defense against an attack. The birds care for their fellow fliers through teamwork. As transportation expert Henry Ford once said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” When it comes to teamwork, these feathered fliers are a soaring success! 1. According to the passage, we can learn that birds ___________. A. move faster than cyclists B. prefer to fly in a V formation C. are smarter than other animals D. play different roles in a formation 2. When food is sighted, ____________. A. the group follows the discoverer B. the lead bird decides what to do C. the discoverer leaves the group D. the whole group forms a stream 3. To protect themselves from attack, birds will _____________ .

四川旺苍县2019高考英语阅读理解选练 【2019高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 （主旨大意）（记叙文） When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time. This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path. Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost. There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light. When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.

2019届吉林省双辽市高考英语一轮复习阅读理解训练：6(含解析)
2019届吉林省双辽市高考英语一轮复习阅读理解训练6 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 (2019·福建) Life can be so wonderful，full of adventure and joy.It can also be full of challenges，setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem，because when we go to change the way we do things，up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place. This tension between what we feel we can have and what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering，the anxiety we feel.This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up.But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more.The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us.It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities.If you drop that，you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you're dropping “you”． So，if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns? Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges. While，deep down，we know we can do it，our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't.That isn't a reason to stop; it's just the mind，that little man or woman on your shoulder，trying to talk you out of something again.It has done it many times before.It's all about starting simple and doing it now. Decide and act before overthinking.When you do this you may feel a little，or large，release_from_the_jail_of_your_mind and you'll be on your way. 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，作者介绍了在我们想要放弃的时候改变这种模式的一种方法就是重新选择目标并且迅速做出决定。 1．It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________. A．slow down and live a simple life B．be careful when we choose to change C．stick to our dreams under any circumstances D．be content with what we already have 答案：C 细节理解题。文章第一段第三句Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires说不管在什么情况下，我们仍然有着梦想、希望和欲望。
