　　Section B Passage One

　　Packaging is an important form of advertising.

　　A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product.

　　For example,a small child might ask for a breakfast food

　　that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character.

　　The child is more interested in the picture than in breasfast food.

　　Pictures for children to colour or cut out.

　　games printed on a package or small gifts inside a box

　　also motivate many children to buy products--or to ask their parents for them.

　　Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing.

　　Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.

　　Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less

　　people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish

　　because they believe the container is free.

　　However,the cost of the container if added to the cost of the product.

　　The size of a package also motivates a buyer.

　　Maybe the package has Economy Size or Family Size printed on it.

　　This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money.

　　but that is not always true. To find out,

　　a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.

　　The information on the package should provide some answers.

　　But the important thing for any buyer to remember

　　is that a package is often an advertisement.

　　The words and pictures do not tell the whole story.

　　Only the product inside can do that.

　　14. What suggestion does the author give in the passage?

　　the work of two artist--naturalists

　　Leopold Blaschka and his sone Rudolph.

　　it contains more than seven hundred species

　　representing 164 families of flowering plant

　　a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus disease

　　and thousands of flower parts and exaggerated detail

　　Passage Three Cheating:

　　The income-tax deadline approaches and some tax-payersthoughts turn to it.

　　Test time approaches and some students thoughts turn to it.

　　You want something you cant get by behaving within the rules

　　and you want it badly enough youll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regreet

　　and youre willing to run the risk of being caught

　　Thats how Ladd Wheele

　　psychology professor at the University of Rochester in New York defines cheating.

　　Many experts believe cheating is on the rise.

　　Were suffering a moral breakdown, Pindard says.

　　Were seeing more of the kind of person

　　who regards the world as a series of thing to be dealt with.

　　Whether to cheat depends on whether its in the persons interest.

　　He does,however,see less cheating among the youngest students.

　　Richard Dienstbier,psychology professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln,

　　believes that societys attitudes account for much of the increasing in cheating.

　　Twenty years ago if a person cheated in college. society said:

　　That is extremely serious.

　　you will be dropped for a semester if not kicked out permanently, he says.

　　Nowadays,at the University of Nebraska,for example,

　　it is the stated policy of the College of Arts and Sciences

　　that if a student cheats on an exam

　　the student must receive an on what he cheated of.

　　Thats nothing

　　If youre going to fall in the examination anyway, why not cheat?

　　Cheating is mostly in situation where the vital interests are high

　　and the chances of getting caught are low
