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 upcoming 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, ”Nattadon 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.

A． When desks are crowded into a classroom.

B． When students are too stressful.

C． When too many students are sitting in a classroom.

D． When the staff members who are watching over them are not responsible.

2.Why was the university criticized?

C． The university prevented students cheating.

3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

B． The senior academic staff at the university made the paper hat idea.

C． The students felt more stressful when wearing the hat during the exam.

D． The students don’t like wearing the hats when taking the exam.

4.What’s the best title of the text?

What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed(展示)at the entrance? Or the soft background music?

But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad，the answer is likely to be no．But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there．And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．

A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance，via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air．One sports goods company once reposed that when it first introduced scent into its stores，customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent．

When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs，scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales．That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be．

Some years ago，the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t afford displays．Now the rise of electronic commerce(e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience．But while e-shops can use sights and sounds，only bricks-and-mortar stores(實體店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave．Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop，but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this．

Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department，and coconut(椰子)scent in the swimsuit section．A department store has even opened a new lab，inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books，pots and drawers，in search of their perfect scent.

1.According to the passage，what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?

A．Friendly assistant． B. Unique scents．

C．Soft background music D．a(chǎn)ttractive window display．

2.E-shops are mentioned in the passage to_____．

A．show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores

B．urge shop assistants to change their attitude

C．push stores to use sights and sounds

D．introduce the rise of e-commerce

3.The underlined word“destination”in Paragraph 5 means_____．

A．a(chǎn) platform that exhibits goods

B．a(chǎn) spot where travelers like to stay

C. a place where customers love to go

D．a(chǎn) target that a store expects to meet

4.The main purpose of the passage is to________．

C．a(chǎn)rgue and discuss D．inform and explain

Winnie-the-Pooh

By A. A. Milne

Winnie-the-Pooh has been introduced and reintroduced to generation after generation as a model of a child’s best friend. However, not everyone has found Pooh is lovely. This classic has been banned in a variety of countries at one point. So why would anyone ever want to keep children from the joy of Milne’s classic? In the case of Russia, Winnie-the-Pooh was banned in 2009 because of alleged Nazi (納粹黨的) ties.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

By Frank Baum

Originally published in the year 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the foundations of the fairytale genre. Who, then, would seek to ban a book that has become so important to the American experience?

America is that who. The Detroit Library banned The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1957 for having no value for children.

Charlotte’s Web

By E. B. White

White’s tale of the relationship between two unexpected creatures, a spider and a pig, has been drawing children in for over half a century. Published in 1952, this classic has been readily available on most library shelves for children to read. However, some people would like to make this book never see the light of day.

In one extreme case, a school in England banned Charlotte’s Web for fear that the pig Wilbur might be offensive (冒犯的) to Muslim students. Fortunately, the Muslim Council of Britain saw the foolishness of this ban, so the book was quickly restored to its right place on the shelves.

Where the Wild Things Are

By Maurice Sendak

Though its first copy was published fifty years ago, this book hasn’t always been readily available in libraries and in stores. After its release, Where the Wild Things Are was banned in libraries all across the U.S. for its dark tone and unruly leading characters. Nowadays, you’ll find far fewer libraries that still hold this ban.

1.The books which were once banned in the same country are ______.

A. Charlotte’s Web and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

B. Where the Wild Things Are and Winnie-the-Pooh

C. Where the Wild Things Are and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

D. Winnie-the-Pooh and Charlotte’s Web

2.Wilbur is the character of the book _______.

A. Charlotte’s Web.

B. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

C. Winnie-the-Pooh.

First, you ought to know that I’m “only” fourteen. My mother points this out often. I can make my own decisions when I’m old enough to vote, she says. Second, I should tell you that she’s right — I’m not always responsible. I sometimes take the prize for grade-A dork（呆子）. Take last weekend for instance. I was staying at Dad’s, and I decided it was time I learned to drive. It was Sunday morning, 7 A.M., and I hadn’t slept well. I’d been up thinking about an argument, which I’ll tell you about in a minute. Well, nobody was up yet in the neighborhood, so I thought it couldn’t hurt to back the car out of the garage and drive around the block. But Dad has a clutch（離合器）car. The “R” on the shift handle was up on the left side, right next to first gear（檔位）. I guess you can guess the rest.

Dad’s always been understanding. He didn’t say, “Okay, little Miss Know-It-All, you can just spend the rest of the year paying this off,” which is what Mom would have said. Instead, Dad worried about what might have happened to me. And that made me feel more guilty than anything. I think he’d be a better number-one caregiver, but I can’t say things like that to Mom. To her, I have to say, “But Mom, Dad’s place is closer to school. I could ride my bike,” to which she replies, “Amy Lynn, you don’t own a bike. Remember? You left it in the yard, and it was stolen. And you haven’t got the patience to earn the money to replace it.”

1.The writer feels guilty because she ________.

A. made her dad worry

B. ruined the car

C. broke the law

D. didn’t tell her mom about the car incident

2.The main conflict between the writer and her mother is about whether she ________.

A. can make her own decisions

B. should live with her mom or her dad

C. should be allowed to drive

D. should pay for things she loses or breaks

3.The writer’s mother thinks the writer is ________.

A. too attached to her dad

B. too emotional

C. too shy

D. irresponsible

4.In the first sentence, the writer used “only” to suggest that she ________.

A. doesn’t want to grow old

B. thinks fourteen is old enough for some things

C. wishes she were older

D. thinks fourteen is an embarrassing age

“I’d like to be at a healthier weight,” a friend told me. “But we just don’t have the money to buy expensive diet foods and there isn’t enough money to join a gym.” Many people feel that way — that a healthy diet and exercise plan is out of reach because of their high cost. Don’t lose hope! We’ll be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money.

First you don’t need to buy the expensive pre-prepared “diet foods.” Back in the early 1970s when I started housekeeping, 90% of the food I bought was ingredients. Very few things were preprocessed (預(yù)處理的). Now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food. That’s a bad thing.

Quick foods like boxed “just add hamburger” meals have had the fiber (纖維) removed to make them faster to prepare. Take a look at the label (標(biāo)簽) on that box. It often has low numbers listed under “fiber” because fiber takes longer to digest. If the low fiber meal is digested, the result is that your body begins to store fat. Besides, your body is short of nutrients (營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)). You will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating.

And then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable. If not, the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldn’t enjoy it. However, these chemicals certainly aren’t good for your health.

What’s the answer? Buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive, low nutrition, processed foods. Do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food — and it will cost less, too.

1. People who find it hard to get a healthier weight think _____.

A. they had too much diet food

B. they didn’t make a detailed plan

C. they have no time to do exercise in gym

D. they can’t afford diet food and to exercise in gym

2.The author doesn’t like quick food mainly because _____.

A. it contains too much fat

B. it makes people eat more

C. it has low fiber

D. it takes longer to digest

3.The underlined word “palatable” in Paragraph 4 means _____.

A. fresh B. delicious

C. healthy D. poor

4.The author suggests in the text that people should _____.

A. control the amount of food

B. eat more processed foods

C. cook food for themselves

D. choose cheap ingredients
