IV.阅读理解(共15题,每小题1分, 满分30分)
A
Some fifty years ago, I was studying in a middle school in New York. One day, Mrs O’Neil gave a maths test to our class. When the papers were marked she found that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes in the test. There is nothing new about cheating in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O’Neil didn’t even say one word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to stay after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O’Neil asked no questions, and she didn’t scold us, either. Instead, she wrote the following words on the blackboard: On your way home you find some money and your’re completely sure that you will never be found out. Later someone comes to ask you if you have found some money he lost. What will you do?
She then ordered us to write down the question. And asked us to take our whole lives to try to find out our own answer to it .
I don’t know about the other eleven children. Speaking for myself I can say: it was the most important single thing of my life. From then on, I have been asking this question to myself when I have to make a decision.
Because of this, Mrs O’Neil has become the most unforgettable teacher for me in my whole life. I often think of this: if Mrs O’Neil had scolded us as many other teachers often did ,would I go to cheating every day?

Shopping online in search of a bargain(便宜货)can often leave you feeling disappointed or out of pocket rather then satisfied. You can avoid this by following our simple advice:
PRODUCT-before you look for the lowest price you need to decide what product you actually want. You can do this by searching online.The easiest way is to Google for different products so that you can secede what would be best for you.
SERCH & COMPARE-You are now ready to use a comparison website to try and find out the best prices. You should never just use one comparison ing two tor more will give you a balanced viewed market. Comparison websites necessary.
You need to first check out what kind of technology a site uses. Although the idea behind Froogle(now called Google Products) is attractive, the technology it uses is not as advanced as sites such as Kelkoo and PriceRunner.Froogle use a regular search engine.
And don’t expect price comparison sites to be sure-fire way of getting a bargain.The site will only show products from companies who pay the.This is not
necessarily a bad thing –suppliers value their reputation(名声)and their business realationship.
AND SERACH AGAING-Before you buy you should search the product using a price comparison service,and then try again just using a standard search engine-it might find the product with a cheaper price.
If you use Firefox to surf the web,then there’s an addtion(附加的)tool that you can download which finds the lowest price of a product for you.
It is called the Invisible Hand and it is free to download.For example,if you’re shopping online at Amazon,the Invisible Hand will pop up and tell you that it is ￡56 cheaper at Dixons.
The tool will only work when you are looking at products, so it shouldn’t disturb your day-to-day Internet surfing.The add-on tool is supported by well-known brands(品
牌)such as BT,BitComet and HMV but obviously it won’t search every single site out there ,so it is still best to use a comparison site in addition to the tool.
