A
Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot． My brother, mother and I live in a very rural district on the Big Island of Hawaii． Our farm is at least a dozen miles from the most basic of services． Consequently, we take weekly trips to COSTCO to procure fuel and supplies． About a month ago, we’d finished loading up the SUV and prepared to leave． As I settled into my seat, I glanced down at the roadside, when a piece of paper caught my eye． I picked it up and read it carefully． Instantly, I was grateful I did．
By the end of the week, I received a beautiful thank-you letter from a very grateful and happy couple containing a hand written message and a gift card to use at any Starbuck’s． In her note, the wife explained how a gust of wind snatched their receipt from a pocket in her car’s passenger door． They had panicked and searched crazily for quite some time before giving up． It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major loss by doing something that at first glance seemed minor or even unimportant．

    A． He was lucky to notice the paper on the roadside．
    B． He was happy to do shopping in the district for it was convenient．

    D． He was thankful to pick up the paper because he found it for a long time．
57． Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the short passage?
    A． I rode my car to COSTCO to buy supplies a month ago．
    B． The receipt was out of date, so the owner threw it away．
    C． I waited on the roadside for the receipt owner for half a day．
    D． I called up the owner to take back the receipt．
58． The author decided to give the paper back to the owner because ______．
    A． it was useless for him B． he knew the owner was upset about losing it
    C． the owner asked him to do so D． he knew the owner would reward him for it

B
Over the past decade, cheating—an act of academic dishonesty—has become more and more common．
The latest statistics shows more than two thirds of high school students admitted cheating on an exam last year, and—even more surprising—often the best students cheat to get to the top of their class—and they don’t think it is wrong． It’s not a big deal． Everybody is doing it．
It is a big deal! Cheating is basically wrong and must be punished．
If students easily get away with it, they might be encouraged to do it again． They won’t realize that this—in the broadest sense—is an attack on our society, which is based on values like honesty and fairness． The present spreading of cheating indicates a loss of those values and cannot be tolerated． An appropriate punishment for cheating incidents would make students aware of their misbehavior．
If no one were punished for cheating, who would ever study for an exam? Tons of papers would be lifted from websites, writing crib sheets would be more important than reviewing the subjects, and highly sophisticated cheating arts would be invented． Knowledge would only exist on the Internet and on cleverly created cheat sheets, but not in the minds of the students—a rather bad precondition to enrich our society wisely and intelligently．
Students have to learn that they have to learn． Only doing what’s right will bring them a feeling of pride and accomplishment and create self-confidence—the building blocks for a successful and satisfying life and a society that keeps its values．
60． What is more surprising is that       ．
    A． cheating is very common in schools B． over 2/3 of the students cheat last year
    C． even the best students cheat on exams D． teachers are not aware of the problems
61． How do they make the students realize their misbehavior?
    A． By letting them getting away with it． B． By telling them what is right．
    C． By catching them on the spot． D． By giving them some punishment．
62． How can students create self-confidence?
    A． By knowing they have to learn． B． By doing what is right．
    C． By learning the right things． D． By being punished when cheating．
63. What does the underlined word “lifted” mean?
    A． taken           B． removed         C． copied          D． written
C
Facebook means never having to say goodbye． The social media website has earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends． Last week, a guy whom I hadn’t seen since my bachelor party five years ago sent me a friend request． I accepted and waited for “Easy E” to send me a greeting of some kind． He had sought me out, after all．
