In my early 30s,I used an expired(过期的) student ID to buy discounted movie tickets. I'd tell myself,I'm buying a ticket I wouldn’ t have otherwise bought. I think many people have done similar things; however,we still think of ourselves as honest citizens. Researchers who study these behaviours believe that character isn 51the real reason. We might break the rules under some conditions and in some mind-sets,but not in others.
Years ago,Francesca Gino,a professor at Harvard,and Dan Ariely,a behavioural economist at Duke,wondered if people with higher IQs were more likely to cheat. They found that cleverness wasn't closely connected to dishonesty,but creativity was. The more creative you are,the easier it is to retell the story of what happened when you behaved dishonestly.
Harvard University psychologist Joshua Greene argues in his book Moral Tribes that we may be bom without having a clear sense of right and wrong,but our culture sharpens it. If your tribe downloads pirated(盗版的) music,you’ re likely to go with the flow.
Harvard researcher Leslie John,along with two colleagues conducted an experiment. They told volunteers that others in the room were making more money than they were for getting questions right on a test. Guess what happened? That group,which considered itself disadvantaged,cheated more than those who believed that everyone received an equal payment.
The real threat is that rule breaking worsens over time. Behavioural psychology offers a few antidotes. Keep yourself fed and well-rested — we’ re likelier to behave badly when hungry or tired. Reflect on how your actions look through others’ eyes and see yourselves in a positive light. In a Stanford study,when researchers used the verb cheat — please don't cheat — participants still cheated freely because they felt distanced from the act. When the noun was used — don't be a cheater — hardly anyone did.
32. According to Francesca Gino,who are likeliest to break the rules in a company?
A. Accountants. B. Designers.
C. Cleaners. D. Typists.
33. Why did volunteers in Leslie John's experiment cheat more than others?
A. Because they were not as smart as others.
B. Because they thought others cheated too.
C. Because they felt a sense of unfairness.
D. Because they were tired and hungry.
34. The underlined word “antidotes” in the last paragraph can be replaced by.
A. explanations B. solutions
C. studies D. novels
35. What's the best title for the text?
A. Why people break the rules
B. How people break the rules
C. The influence of breaking the rules
D. Different ways of breaking the rules

D
If aliens ever sent us a message,scientists hope to pick it up in a distant part of northern California.
There,in a place among the volcanoes of the Cascade Range,42 radio dishes point together at the sky. The dishes,each 20 feet across,form a single,huge scientific instrument called the Allen Telescope Array. Scientists built them to receive radio signals— the sort of message that could answer a very important question: Are we the only intelligentlife in this vast universe?
“It's a question humans have been asking forever,” observes astronomer Jill Tarter. Until recently,she led the SETI (Search for Extra-Terres-trial (外星的) Intelligence) ,Institute in Calif. “We read these ancient texts,and the ancient Greeks,the Romans,the Chinese —they were all wondering how we humans fit into the universe. ”
While the question is ancient,our understanding of the universe has changed over the centuries. We now know that stars do not hang from the sky like fruit on a tree. We also know Earth moves around the Sun and not the other way around. But we still don't know if life exists elsewhere. If aliens do exist,does it have the technology to communicate with us on Earth?
If so,the Allen Telescope Array is listening,day and night,for some signal. From time to time,the dishes turn toward a new patch of the sky. The array has not yet picked up any alien calls.
But that has hardly frustrated scientists. The search for life elsewhere in the universe continues to prove irresistible (无法抗拒的) to experts in a wide variety of fields,from biology to astronomy,and from psychology to computer science. And they’re not just looking for aliens that can communicate: Many researchers believe that simpler,microscopic alien life might be hiding on some distant planet.
Even if their search has yet to turn up any aliens,it has led to some surprising discoveries —including some right here on Earth. If anything,the search for extraterrestrial (外星人) life has become a lot more exciting. Perhaps it's just a matter of time until we discover we’re not alone.
51. Why did scientists build the Allen Telescope Array?
A. To keep a record of the volcanoes.
B. To pick up messages from aliens.
C. To send up radio signals.
D. To keep in touch with aliens.
52. From what Jill said,we know ancient people.
A. described the existence of aliens in texts
B. compared stars to fruit on a tree
C. didn't believe humans to be alone
D. didn^ know how to fit humans into the universe 53. It is implied in the sixth paragraph that .
A. aliens may live in many different places
B. aliens like to hide in a secret place
C. aliens may understand the science of astronomy
D. aliens may not have the ability of communication
54. The writer's attitude towards the existence of aliens was.
A. positive B. doubtful
C. neutral D. disapproving
55. The main idea of the passage is that.
A. humans are not alone at all in the universe
B. scientists search for aliens in space
C. alien calls haven’t been received so far
D. California is a base to welcome aliens

Last summer I did some fruit-picking. It is pretty hard work,though. I had to start in 7 am and picked for a good eight hours. But it was such cheerful and full of fun. Some of we had guitars,so in the evenings [ ! we had barbecues and played a bit music together. I only got about $80 a week,but at the least they gave me all my meals,and the food was not that awfully. Basic accommodation was also supplying. Still,I’m afraid I won’t be going fruit-picking this summer,because V ve got a temporary job in town what pays better.
