31、ars 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

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
36、 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.

42、a plate g:ives her a panic attack.Strange, right? But shes not alone. While popular phobias(恐惧症) about snakesand spiders might get all of the attention, there are a wide variety of not-so-obvioushorrors that make people nervous.While some phobias might seem a bit silly, they can cause serious emotio
43、naldistress. My co-worker Magda is terrified of pigeons, a phobia that is taking over herlife. She wont walk in certain parts of the city and runs screaming from the subwaywhen one of these rats with wings finds its way onto the platform. Another friend isdisgusted with cheese. Once I saw her run aw
44、ay 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.
