　　Section B Passage One

　　Packaging is an important form of advertising.

　　A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product.

　　For example,a small child might ask for a breakfast food

　　that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character.

　　The child is more interested in the picture than in breasfast food.

　　Pictures for children to colour or cut out.

　　games printed on a package or small gifts inside a box

　　also motivate many children to buy products--or to ask their parents for them.

　　Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing.

　　Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.

　　Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less

　　people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish

　　because they believe the container is free.

　　However,the cost of the container if added to the cost of the product.

　　The size of a package also motivates a buyer.

　　Maybe the package has "Economy Size" or "Family Size" printed on it.

　　This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money.

　　but that is not always true. To find out,

　　a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.

　　The information on the package should provide some answers.

　　But the important thing for any buyer to remember

　　is that a package is often an advertisement.

　　The words and pictures do not tell the whole story.

　　Only the product inside can do that.

　　11. What does "motivate" mean according to this passage?

　　12.What does "A buyer will get something for nothing"most probably mean?

　　13. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?

　　14. What suggestion does the author give in the passage?

　　They are made from a variety of materials.

　　Such as wax and glass

　　so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers

　　as well as thorough knowledge of plant structural.

　　The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University

　　is the most famous in North America

　　and is widely known throughout the scientific world.

　　In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass

　　the work of two artist--naturalists

　　Leopold Blaschka and his sone Rudolph.

　　The intention was to have the collection represent

　　as least one member of each flower family native to the United States

　　Although it was never completed

　　it contains more than seven hundred species

　　representing 164 families of flowering plant

　　a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus disease

　　and thousands of flower parts and exaggerated detail

　　Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure

　　The models are kept in locked cases

　　as they are too valuable and fragile for classroom use.

　　Passage Three Cheating:

　　The income-tax deadline approaches and some tax-payers'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 regreet

　　and you're willing to run the risk of being caught

　　That's how Ladd Wheele

　　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," Pindard says.

　　"We're seeing more of the kind of person

　　who regards the world as a series of thing to be dealt with.

　　Whether to cheat depends on whether it's in the person's interest.

　　He does,however,see less cheating among the youngest students.

　　Richard Dienstbier,psychology professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln,

　　believes that society's attitudes account for much of the increasing in cheating.

　　"Twenty years ago if a person cheated in college."society said:

　　'That is extremely serious.

　　you will be dropped for a semester 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 of.

　　That's nothing

　　If you're going to fall in the examination anyway, why not cheat?"

　　Cheating is mostly in situation where the vital interests are high

　　and the chances of getting caught are low
