【题目】I'm sure we've all done something a little dishonest in our lives—maybe copying someone's work, or being given too much change in a shop and keeping quiet about it. Or maybe I'm wrong—maybe you’re a good, upstanding citizen who believes that honesty is the best policy.
We may agree that admitting our mistakes and behaving in a genuine and decent way is the right way to lead our lives but is there something in our human nature that makes us unscrupulous? For example, in some shops and car parks you can find an honesty box—a box where you pay for something by putting money in it. But it does provide a temptation(诱惑) to get away with not paying the full amount.
Philip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says: we have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. It's part of our evolutionary psychological make up—because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.
So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? It's because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.
Being trustworthy with money is of course extremely important for an economy to survive and there are laws to protect us from dishonest practices. But being honest with words is another matter; saying what we think to someone can be embarrassing. Is honest always the best policy?
【1】Which of the underlined words is similar to "dishonest" in meaning?
A. upstanding
B. decent
C. unscrupulous
D. trustworthy
【2】If there is an honesty box in a shop, what should a customer do?
A. Take some money out if in need.
B. Donate some money to the charities.
C. Get away without paying the right amount.
D. Put in the amount of money one should pay for his buying.
【3】What can we learn according to Philip Graves?
A. Men are born to be dishonest.
B. One will be criticized if he is dishonest.
C. Dishonesty is of some benefit to survival.
D. Breaking the balance is kind of dishonesty.
【4】The author may NOT agree that ________.
A. honesty is based on working together
B. not all social members accept dishonesty
C. dishonest economic behaviors will be punished
D. being dishonest with words sometimes is acceptable

【题目】阅读理解
A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full if typical teenage stuff: school, baseball practice and homework. And then he starts cooking. “Some nights I'm up until 1:00 a.m. making pies, or even later if we're cooking beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.
For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster's parents' home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them. Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them until the pair decided to do something nice for charity（慈善）. “We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen gadgets（小器具）,” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something positive for people other than us.”
Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity that aims to teach kids in poor communities to cook and make healthy eating choices. The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster's parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 to the charity.
Now, they're taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. They have started to organize private dinner parties with a similar model: the host pays for the ingredients, and the guests make a donation to a charity of their choice.
Without formal training, Lanster said he had been interested in cooking since he helped his mom in the kitchen when he was very young. He learned how to cook by reading cookbooks and watching TV programs. Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither of them is sure what they will do in the future, but they're promised their parents that they will leave professional cooking alone until they finish school.
（1）How is Lanster's life different from other teenagers' lives?
A.He plans to become a professional chef.
B.He plays baseball every day after school.
C.He goes to a cooking school in his spare time.
D.He holds dinner parties after a normal school day.
（2）What will Lanster and Moran usually do after a private dinner party?
A.Receive thank-you cards from the guests.
B.Visit the poor children at Common Threads.
C.Ask the guests to donate money to the charity.
D.Cover the food costs with the money collected.
（3）Which of the following words can best describe Lanster and Moran?
A.Ambitious.
B.Generous.
C.Creative.
D.Optimistic.
