Passage 2Not long ago, 20,000 middle- and high-school students were surveyed (调查). 92 percent of the teenagers admitted having lied to their parents in the previous year, and 73 percent of them call themselves as “serial liars”, people continually lying. Despite these admissions, 91 percent of all those people said they were “satisfied with my own character”. Think how often we hear the expressions “I’ll call you” or “I’m sorry, but he stepped out”. And then there are professions, such as lawyers and consultants (顾问), whose members seem to specialize in shaping the truth to suit clients’ (当事人) needs. Little white lies become widespread, and the reasons we give each other for telling lies are familiar. “What’s wrong with that?”How often do we praise people for how well they look, or express our appreciation for gifts, when we don’t really mean it? Surely, these “nice lies” are harmless and well intended, a necessary social lubricant (润滑剂). But, we should remember the words of English novelist Sir Walter Scott, who wrote, “What a tangled (错综复杂的) web we weave (编), when first we practice to deceive.” Even seemingly harmless lies can have unexpected consequences. Psychological obstacles disappear; the ability to make more distinction can become dull; the liar’s awareness of his chances of being caught may become dull. By itself, that kind of lie is of no great consequence.Still, the endless build-up of these lies does matter. Once they’ve become common enough, even the small untruths that are not meant to hurt will encourage a certain doubt and loss of trust. When trust is damaged, the community as a whole suffers; and when it is destroyed, societies collapse. Are all white lies to be avoided at all costs? The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of the principle of trust for the principle of caring, like telling children about Santa Claus, or lying to someone to give him a surprise party. But a president of an institute says, “Still, we must ask ourselves if we are willing to give our friends and associates the authority to lie to us whenever they think it is for our own good.”(阅读理解2习题为27-31题,请各位同学顺序作答) Which of the following statements is NOT true about the survey?

Passage 3 Since World War II, there has been a clear trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence (青春期), “go steady” through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even at the age of seventy.Many students are marrying as an escape from their own personal problems of loneliness. However any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves one’s problems; more often, it merely makes them worse. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home as an institution is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the ultimate (最终的) good, but they mistakenly believe that they themselves have found the true center of life’s meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially unrealistic, and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and disillusionment (幻想破灭) is often sure to follow.Shall we, then, think early marriages are bad? One cannot draw the conclusion that all early marriages are bad or all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by age, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions (幻想) or false expectations, and if it is economically practical, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.(阅读理解3习题为32-36题,请各位同学顺序作答)Since World War II people tend to marry early for the following reasons except that ________.

A. they begin dating at an early age
B. they want to get rid of loneliness
C. they become physically mature early
D. they achieve emotional maturity early
