Passage One Of all the lessons taught by the financial crisis, the most personal has been that Americans arent so good at money-management. We take out home loans we cant afford.We run up sky-high credit-card debt. We dont save nearly enough forretirement. In response, supporters of financial-literacy education are moving with renewed enthusiasm. School districts in states such as New Jersey and Illinois are adding 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 3 页，共 13 页 - - - - - - - - - money-management courses to their curriculums . The Treasury and Education departments are sending lesson plans to high schools and encouraging students to compete in the National Financial Capability Challenge that begins in March. Students with top scores on that exam will receive certificates -but chances for long-term benefits are slim. As it turns out, there is little evidence that traditional effortsto boost financial know-how help students make better decisions outside the classroom.Even as the financial-literacy movement has gained steam over the past decade, scores have been falling on tests that measure how well students learn about things such asbudgeting, credit cards, insurance and investments. A recent survey of college studentsconducted for the JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy found thatstudents whod had a personal-finance or money-management course in high schoolscored no better than those who hadnt. We need to figure out how to do this the right way,says Lewis Mandell, a professor at the University of Washington who after 15 years of studyingfinancial-literacy programs has come to the conclusion that current methods dont work.A growing number of researchers and educators agree that a more radical approach isneeded. They advocate starting financial education a lot earlier than high school, puttingreal money and spending decisions into kids hands and talking openly about theemotions and social influences tied to how we spend . Other initiatives are tacking such real-world issues as the commercial andsocial pressures that affect purchasing decisions.Why exactly do you want those expensive brand-name shoes so badly? It takes confidence to take a stand and to thinkdifferently, saysJerooBillimoria ,founder of Aflatoun,a nonprofit whose curriculum, used in more than 30 countries ,aims to help kids get a leg up in their financial lives .”“This goes beyond money and savings 21.

Jeroo Billimoria is most likely to agree thatcommercial and social pressures makeones purchasing decisions_. A. difficultB.feasible C. unwiseD. acceptable Passage Two Cheating is nothing new,But today,educators and administrators are finding that instances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent -and are less likely to be punished - than in the past . Cheating appears to have gainedacceptance among good and poor students alike . Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows .Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among todays youth. Others have attributedincreased cheating to the fact that todays youth are far more pragmatic（实用主义的） than their more idealistic predecessors.Whereas in the late sixties and early seventies ，students were filled with visions about changing the world，today s students feel greatpressure to conform and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools andcolleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had becomeeasy. Some suggested they did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect. Others looked at it as a game. Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty.People are competitive, said a second-yearcollege student named Anna, fromChicago. Theres an underlying fear. If you dont do well, your life is going to be ruined.The pressure is not only form parents and friends but from oneself .To achieve .To succeed .It s almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals, Edward Wynne , a magazine editor ,blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action .Dwight Huber ,chairman of the English department at Amarillo .sees the matterdifferently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated. I wouldcheat if I felt I was being cheated, Mr. Huber said. He feels that as long as teachers gives short-answer testsrather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can put information together,students will try to beat the system. The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is legitimate and there is something wrong withthe 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 5 页，共 13 页 - - - - - - - - - individual who are doing it, he said.

Shes been using plastic ones for 17 years because the sound of a fork rubbing against a plate g:ives her a panic attack. Strange, right? But shes not alone. While popular phobias(恐惧症 ) about snakes and spiders might get all of the attention, there are a wide variety of not-so-obvious horrors that make people nervous. While some phobias might seem a bit silly, they can cause serious emotional distress. My co-worker Magda is terrified of pigeons, a phobia that is taking over her life. She wont walk in certain parts of the city and runs screaming from the subway when one of these rats with wings finds its way onto the platform. Another friend isdisgusted with cheese. 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 6 页，共 13 页 - - - - - - - - - Once I saw her run away from a slice of it. So where does anirrational fear of cheese come from? Are phobias something we inherit from our genes or do we acquire these unusualanxieties over time? Ever since I can remember I have been unreasonably frightened of elevators. Therewas no terrible childhood experience and I am fine with confined spaces, but something about elevators makes me nervous. And so, when my boyfriend and I found ourselvestrapped in an elevator last year - because these sorts of things always happen eventually- I was anticipating the worst. While he gave me a suggestive eyebrow raise and proposed we take advantage ofthe situation, I began screaming uncontrollably. I was far from turned on by the wholefacing my worst nightmare thing. However, after the fear subsided(消退 )I realized that, yes, this was my greatest fear come true, and yet - it wasnt all that bad. Nervous and inconvenient maybe, butterrifying? Not so much. Liberating yourself from a deep-seated phobia can be a long and difficult process,but sometimes it can be as simple as confronting it head on. 31. The 34-year-old British woman is extremelyafraid of metal forks because A.she has never used them before B.she has been injured by them before C.she couldnt bear their sound on plate D.she is afraid that they
