听力原文： Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome. I'm sure we have all heard the expression, "Think Green." Tonight we are going to talk about ways that we can "Act Green" in our everyday life.
The best place to start, of course, is in the home. Every day, people all over the world are hurting the environment without even knowing it. For example, busy families buy paper napkins and plastic food wrap at the supermarket. This helps them save time on housework, but after these things have been used, what happens to them？ They go into the garbage heap. In many places, especially in North America, big cities are running out of places to throw their garbage. What can we do about it？
How can we cut down on garbage？ Well, we can start using cloth napkins and cloth towels instead of paper towels. When we go grocery shopping, we can choose products that are not "overpackaged." For example, last week I bought a package of cookies. The cookies were in a bag. There was a plastic tray inside the bag, and then each cookie was in its own little package on the tray in the bag! That's overpackaging! We should also take our own bags to the grocery store to carry things home in.

As long as there are roles, the number of people who cheat will become less and less.
听力原文：W: OK. This will be my treat.
M: Oh, no, you don't.
W: All right, then, we'll go Dutch.
M: Next time. This time you're my guest.
W: Gee, it's crowded.
M: Look, one empty small table by that big picture window over there. Let's go and get it.
W: Ah, this is a pretty spot. You can see the people passing by while you eat.
M: And they can see you eat while they pass and that's a pretty picture, too.
W: Is this the only type place for lunch？
M: There are some lunch counters, but they serve only a few specialties.
W: Why can't you eat lunch in a restaurant？
M: Well, you can, but the service isn't as fast. Most people only have half an hour to one hour for lunch. The time is too short for them to eat in a restaurant or to run back and forth from home to school or office, because the cities are too big.
W: So they eat quickly at the lunch counters？
M: Right. Lunch is normally a light meal anyway. Workers must either take lunch with them or get it near the place where they work.
W: What about the children？
M: Kids in school take sandwiches, fruit and cookies along with them or eat in school cafeterias.
W: This is delicious. If all the food tastes as good as this, I don't miss our own food too much. I like American food!
M: I'm glad you enjoy it. Are you done？
W: I'm full.
M: Are you sure. You can get seconds.
W: I'm positively full. I have no more room. Wow, this will last me for a week. Thank you very much.
M: Don't mention it.

Cheating
The Kansan State University Junior was desperate. Already on academic probation after stumbling through a shaky sophomore year while battling a severe case of asthma, he was about to flunk political science for missing two exams. Another F could mean suspension, which would put at risk the college degree he'd always counted on. He couldn't take that chance. Instead, he took a different one.
Thanks to a part-time job in the university's information-technology department, the young man -- a born-and-bred Midwesterner who loved reading and played trumpet in his high school band had access to his professor's online grade book. with a few quick keystrokes, he was able to give himself passing scores for the tests he hadn't taken. He wasn't clever enough, though, to cover his tracks. He was soon caught and suspended--and has been racked with guilt ever since.
While this student and his professors say the incident resulted from a momentary lapse in judgment, the sad fact is that, in a broader sense, it's hardly an isolated act. There's plenty to suggest that academic cheating is epidemic in the country's high schools and colleges. Consider a few examples: nine business students at the University of Maryland caught receiving text messaged answers on their cell phones during an accounting exam; a Texas teen criminally charged for selling stolen test answers--allegedly swiped via a keystroke-decoding device affixed to a teacher's computer--to fellow students.
Beyond the anecdotes, experts point to a stream of data--much of it from students themselves-- that indicates cheating is rampant. A report last June by Rutgers University professor Donald McCabe for The Center for Academic Integrity showed 70 percent of students at 60 colleges admitting to some cheating within the previous year; one in four admitted to engaging in serious cheating (copying from another student, using concealed notes, or helping someone else cheat). McCabe's high school findings were similarly grim: Of 18,000 high school students surveyed across the country over the past four years, 70 percent of those in public schools admitted to at least one case of serious test cheating; about six in ten admitted to some form. of plagiarism. Just under half of all private school students acknowledged similar lapses.
Cheating isn't new. As long as there have been roles, there have been people intent on breaking them. What's alarming now, says Institute founder Michael Josephson, is how widespread and blatant the practice has become.
"People who cheated were in the minority and they kept it secret, even from their friends," he says. "Now they are the majority, and they are bold about it. Today, if you ask kids about cheating, you will get such cavalier attitudes that the statistics are almost secondary."
Success at Any Cost
Josephson and others grappling with the issue say two forces are behind the erosion in ethics. First, advances in technology--chiefly the Internet and portable digital devices--have made cheating easier. A bigger factor, though, is the way bad behavior. across society--ball players popping steroids, business executives cooking corporate books, journalists fabricating quotes, even teachers faking test scores to make schools look good--signals that nothing is out of bounds when success is at stake.
The pressure to succeed that drives some to cheat starts early, says Tomas Rua, a senior at Friends Seminary, a New York City private school. "Everything that you do and work for is to maximize your potential," he says. "And many people feel driven to use any recourse so that they can get that grade. There is a lot of hysteria about college, and you start hearing about it in the middle school."
Daniel, a student at Turlock High School in California's Central Valley, certainly takes that attitude: "If I want to get the better
