Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) Why Integrity Matters What is Integrity? "Integrity" is defined as "adherence to moral and ethical principles; honesty." The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for oneself (honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness) but also living up to those standards each day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation. What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals. Risky Business We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future. Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a defense. "But Everybody Does It" Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they’re taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it," "I'm not hurting anyone," or "I really need this grade." Excuses can get very elaborate: "I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm just checking my answers, not copying." We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions. To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself. Evaluating Risks To decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits ("what's in it for me"), and simply haven't considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious, and may include a "0" on a test or assignment; an "F" in the class; Suspension or Dismissal from school; transcript notation; and a tarnished reputation. In fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give others the power to impose punishment: you have no control over what that punishment might be. This is an extremely precarious and vulnerable position. There may be some matters of life and death, or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category. Getting Away With It--Or Not Those who don't get caught pay an even higher price. A cheater doesn't learn from the test, depriving him/herself of an education. Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed. Cheating destroys self-esteem and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty, and afraid of getting caught. Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usually cheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems "easier." This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster. Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences. Students have been dismissed from school because they didn't get this simple message: Honesty is the ONLY policy that works. Cheating Hurts Others, Too Cheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions "don't count" and don't really hurt anyone. But individual choices have aprofound cumulative effect. Cheating can spread like a disease, and a cheater can encourage others just by being seen from across the room. Recent statistics suggest 30% or more of college students cheat. If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades. Even if there is no curve, cheating "poisons" the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in. ("If I don't cheat, I can't compete with those who do.") Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers. The real reward of good teaching is seeing students learn, but a cheater says, "I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach; all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others." The end result is a blatant and destructive attack on the quality of your education. Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the University, and harm those who worked hard for their degree. Why Integrity Matters If cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble. We must rely on the honesty and good faith of others every day. If not, we couldn't put money in the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge, get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless. There are many examples of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect their dishonesty can have. The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and junk bond swindles, and, of course, Watergate, have undermined the faith of many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as a whole. Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our individual well-being. For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education. In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our society. Our actions do matter. It is essential that we act with integrity in order to build the kind of world in which we want to live.　1. A person of integrity not only sets high moral and ethical standards but also _______.

In my children's lifetimes, I believe gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans ( 猩猩) will all become extinct in the wild. So the question we have to ask ourselves is this: do wewant our children to see only in zoos what used to exist in the real world? It is the great apes that will disappear first, because there are so few of them left, and because they're so vulnerable to changes in their habitats.Many of the threats to these animals result from a global economy and not local pressures. The threat to the orangutans in Indonesia, for example, is largely a result of deforestation and the risks to apes and chimpanzees in Africa result from the timbertrade and the demand for bush-meat. The two work together: logging opens up the forest, which means that the bush-meat can be got out fast, to Kinshasa or to London.If we want to avoid the disaster, people in developedcountries will have to take a global perspective and accept responsibility for the damage export crops, such as timber, coffee, cut flowers or even green beans, do to the environment. The challenge is to avoid simply imposingWestern attitudes on local peoples.Already there are no truly wild places left in the world. Looking at wildlife has become the preserve of the middle classes over the last 20-odd years, and as wild animals become even rarer,so more tourists want to see them. But tourism alone plainly cannot conserve the world's animals; economic development is the priority. For the future, I suspect that if you really want to do something about wildlife conservation, you would bebetter off putting your money into women's education rather than just into the protection of flagship species. Women often bear the direct costs of wildlife conflict; their knowledge of how to deal with conflict and how to control their ownreproductive destinies may yet determine the survival of many threatened species. Choose the best answersto the following questions.1.Why will the great apesbecome extinct inthe wild first?A.Because the great apes are moving away from the wild life conservation areas.B.Because the great apes are unable to survive any natural disasters.C.Because more and more great apes are kept in zoos.D.Because the great apes are unadaptable to changes in the environment.2.In the second paragraph, the word "deforestation" means .A.the process of hunting for wildlife in forestsB.adventures in forestsC.the process of removing forests from a placeD.the exploration of forests3. According to the passage, all of thefollowing statements are true except _________A.the development of tourism helps to conserve the wildlifeB.developed countries should be aware of the damage export crops do to the environmentC.all the threats to animals result from local pressures aloneD.the timber trade and the demand for bush-meat risk the lives of primates in Africa4. We can infer from the fourth paragraph thatA.it is the m iddle classthat should take moreresponsibility foranimal conservationpared with economic development, tourism is more important in animal conservationC.in order to conserve wild animals, economicdevelopment should be put above everything elseD.tourism cannot conserve the wildlife; it will only do harm to the environment5. The author suggests in the last paragraph that .A.one would be richer if he puts money into women's educationB.to put money into women's education is moreimportant in wildlife conservation than to put money into flagship species orotectionC.women know how to determine the survival of many threatened speciesD.worn en often bear the direct costs of wildlife conflictComplete the following sentences with the information given in the passage.1. According to the author, the extinction of wild animalswill be mainly a resultof____.KEY:the global economy2.Not only local people, but also___ should beresponsible for the damageexport crops do to the environment.KEY:people in developed countries3.More and more t ourists want to see wild animalsbecause____KEY: wild animals are becoming rarer翻译野生动物保护在孩子们的一生中，我相信大猩猩，黑猩猩和猩猩（猩猩）都将成为在野外绝迹。

PetsThere are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals have an inferior position to human beings. In most instances, however, people treat their pets like members of theirfamilies, or perhaps better. In the United States, and Europe, where pets are very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing, and g o u r m e t (美味的) food for cats and dogs. There are shops on fashionable streets in New York City, for example, thatsell gold and diamond collars, fur jackets, hats and mittens for pets.In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for supermarkets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in Nice, France,there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for 20 of them.On the menu, there are varieties of special gourmet dishes for dogs to choose from. There is a sausage dish,a turkey dish, and a pasta dish, among others. For dessert, there is a variety of French cheeses and, of course, dog biscuits.In the U.S., there is a very rich cat who can afford to go to any restaurant he chooses. His name is Kitty Cat. KittyCat inherited 100,000 dollars when his owner died. In addition, the owner left Kitty Cat a beautiful mansion to live in. There is a person who comes to the mansion every day to feed and take care of Kitty Cat.Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth and luxury. There is a more practical and functional attitude towards pets. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Certainly, owners generally have theiraffectionate feelings for their pets. However, they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing, or jewelry, or gourmet food for animals.

大学英语快速阅读课文AlanGreenspan带翻译课后习题答案Alan GreenspanAlan Greenspan was chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and arguably one of the most powerful individuals in the United States. Greenspan had demonstrated a sharp intellect along with an unusual ability to keep his independence while still following the trends of political power in Washington, D.C.He was born in New York City in 1926, son of a stockbroker and a saleswoman. He showed early signs of mathematical genius, yet after high school chose to attend the Julliard School of Music and later played the clarinet ( 单簧管) in a traveling swing band in the mid 1940s. Then he abandoned amusic career to obtain bachelor's and master's degrees in economics from New York University and began doctoral studies at Columbia University. He left Columbia when he ran out of money and took a job later as an economist for the National Industrial Conference Board. In 1977 he eventually got his Ph.D. from New York University.In the 1950s, Greenspan a -- dedicated follower of Ayn Rand, whose philosophy of "enlightened selfishness" appealed to Greenspan more than the free-market skepticism of John Maynard Keynes and many other economists of his generation. However, Greenspan took a more pragmatic and politically aware route than many of theuncompromising (强硬的)h e r o e s of Rand's novels.Greenspan later started a consulting company that offered economic forecasts to large companies and financial institutions, at a time when few corporations had their own professional staff economists. In the 1960s, Greenspan was adirector of policy research for Richard Nixon but did not come to Washington until the 1970s, when he became chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under President Gerald Ford. In this position, Greenspan got his first taste of experience being grilled ( 质询) before angry senators and congressmen.

In my children's lifetimes, I believe gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans ( 猩猩) will all become extinct in the wild. So the question we have to ask ourselves is this: do we want our children to see onlyin zoos what used to exist in the real world? It is the great apes that will disappear first, because there are so few of them left, and because they're so vulnerable to changes in their habitats.Many of the threats to these animals result from aglobal economy and not local pressures. The threat to the orangutans in Indonesia, for example, is largely a result of deforestation and the risks to apes and chimpanzees in Africa result from the timber trade and the demand for bush-meat. The two worktogether: logging opens up the forest, which means that the bush-meat can be got out fast, to Kinshasa or to London.If we want to avoid the disaster, people in developed countries will have to take a global perspective and acceptresponsibility for the damage export crops, such as timber, coffee, cut flowers or even green beans, do to the environment. The challenge is to avoid simply imposing Western attitudes on local peoples.Already there are no truly wild places left in the world. Looking at wildlife has become the preserve of the middle classes over the last 20-odd years, and as wild animals become even rarer, so more tourists want to see them. But tourism aloneplainly cannot conserve the world's animals; economic development is the priority. For the future, I suspect that if you really want to do something about wildlife conservation, you would be better off putting your money into women's educationrather than just into the protection of flagship species. Women often bear the direct costs of wildlife conflict; their knowledge of how to deal with conflict and how to control their own reproductive destinies mayyet determine the survival of many threatened species. Choose the best answersto the following questions. 1.Why will the great apesbecome extinct inthe wild first?A.Because the great apes are moving away from the wild life conservation areas.B.Because the great apes are unable to survive any natural disasters.C.Because more and more great apes are kept in zoos.D.Because the great apes are unadaptable to changes in the environment.2.In the second paragraph, the word "deforestation" means.A.the process of hunting for wildlife in forestsB.adventures in forestsC.the process of removing forests from a placeD.the exploration of forests3. According to the passage, all of thefollowing statements are true except_________A.the development of tourism helps to conserve the wildlifeB.developed countries should be aware of the damage export crops do to the environmentC.all the threats to animals result from local pressures aloneD.the timber trade and the demand for bush-meat risk the lives of primates in Africa4. We can infer from the fourth paragraph thatA.it is the m iddle classthat should take moreresponsibility foranimal conservationpared with economic development, tourism is more important in animal conservationC.in order to conserve wild animals, economicdevelopment should be put above everything elseD.tourism cannot conserve the wildlife; it will only do harm to the environment5. The author suggests in the last paragraph that .A.one would be richer if he puts money into women's educationB.to put money into women's education is moreimportant in wildlife conservation than to put money into flagship species orotectionC.women know how to determine the survival of many threatened speciesD.worn en often bear the direct costs of wildlife conflictComplete the following sentences with the information given in the passage.1. According to the author, the extinction of wild animalswill be mainly a resultof____.KEY:the global economy 2.Not only local people, but also___ should be responsible for the damageexport crops do to the environment.KEY:people in developed countries3.More and more t ourists want to see wild animals because____KEY: wild animals are becoming rarer翻译野生动物保护在孩子们的一生中，我相信大猩猩，黑猩猩和猩猩（猩猩）都将成为在野外绝迹。

In most instances, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States, and Europe, where petsare very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing, and g o u r m e t(美味的) food for cats and dogs. There are shops on fashionable streets in New York City, for example, that sell gold and diamond collars, fur jackets, hats and mittens for pets. In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It iscommon for supermarkets in many places to sell cat food and dog food.

To Face the MusicLike every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-daylife of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is "to face the music."When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to face the music," it does not mean he's planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your bossto explain why you did this and that, and why you didn't do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father's angry voice, "I want to talk to you." It is onlythat we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!©The phrase "to face the music" is familiar to every American, young and old. It is more than 150 years old. And where did this expression come from? One of the explanations comes from the Americannovelist, James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue to go on, they often said, "Well, it's time to face the music." And that is exactly what they did —facing the orchestra which was just belowthem. An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression "to face the music" comes to mean, "havingto go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you know you have no other choice."Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.Which of the following isclosest in meaningto "sour music" in paragraph 2?A. A piece of unpleasant music.B.Somethinqunpleasant.C.An unpleasant deal.D.Tough work given by the boss.2.Where did the expression "to face themusic" probably come from?A.It came from a novel written by James FenimoreCoooer.B.It came from actors waiting to go on thestage.C.It came from children who were scolded by their angry father.D.It came from employees who were blamed by their boss.3.Which of the following is the definition of the word "wing"in "waiting in the wings to go on the stage"?A.The manner of flying.B.The dressing room in the theater.C.An impatient way.D.The unseen area on either side of thestage of a theater.4.According to the passage, an actor may feel nervous or even frightened on the following occasions except when __ .A.he is out of conditionB.he faces the orchestra which was just below himC.he steps onto the stage in front of an audienceD.he cannot remember what he should say on the stage5. In the case of children, "facing the music" means that they haveto _______________________ .A.take part in music lessonsB.suffer their parents' angerC.do a tough job given by their teacherD.accept harsh words from their peersComplete the following sentences with the information given in the passage.1.The expression "to face the music" is so old that it is familiar to______KEY: every American2.In American English, as well as in_______., there are a lot of special expressions which come from the day-today life of the people and develop in their own way.KEY:other languages3 .Actors might be frightened ornervous as they go on to the stage if they cannot remember_______.KEY:their lines.4.The phrase "to face the music" came up_____ago, KEY:over 150 years5.If you fail to finish your task, the boss will ______you_____to give an explanation.KEY:call……in（召集，呼唤）翻译面对现实就像每一种语言，美国英语是特殊的表达充分，词组，来自人民的日常工作，日常生活和发展自己的路。
