     Last month, James Connolly, a junior at the University of Massachusetts, stood in front of a local
police station wearing a toga (长袍) as punishment.
     His crime? He was charged with underage drinking, illegal possession of alcohol and too much noise
while holding a party.
     This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years, mostly imposed (强加) by local
judges for less－serious crimes, such as drunk driving and theft.
     They believe shame is the best petty crime deterrent (威慑). For example, in Tennessee, Judge James McKenzie has made shoplifters stand outside Wal－Mart with signs that read, "I am a thief put here by
order of Judge McKenzie."
     "Alternative punishments like community service and fines don"t convey moral condemnation of the
criminal," said Dan Kahan, a University of Chicago Law School professor, in an article published on the
university"s website. "They aren"t shameful enough."
     Supporters of shaming punishment argue that public shaming is a good way of expressing community
values. Some judges say shamed offenders seldom repeat their crimes.
     Others aren"t so sure. "There is little evidence to suggest that shaming punishments are successful in
preventing people from committing specific crimes. And a shamed criminal may face a hard battle to
regain trust in society," said Hosmanek. "So, a shaming punishment may force the offender into more
crimes to support himself."

1. According to the passage, wearing a toga in public is a(n)________.

A. honour
B. shame
C. duty
D. crime

2. Connolly was punished for________.

A. shoplifting
B. drunk driving
C. serious crimes
D. petty crimes

3. Which of the following is the most effective in preventing petty crimes according to Professor Kahan?

A. Getting a fine for what one has done.
B. Apologizing to the police for one"s wrongdoing.
C. Holding a sign in public that announces one’s own crime.
D. Being forced to work for the community without being paid.

4. According to Hosmanek, shamed criminals are more likely to commit new crimes because________.

A. it"s difficult for them to find a job
B. they no longer have a sense of shame
C. there"s too much fighting in society
D. they do not want to do any work

5. This passage is mainly about________.

A. crime deterrent
B. alternative punishments
C. shaming punishment
D. community values

     In 1883, a creative engineer, John Roebling, was inspired to build a splendid bridge connecting New

As Mrs Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie.Like most teachers,she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible,because there in the front row,slumped in his seat,was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.Mrs Thompson noticed that he didn"t play well with the other children,that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.And Teddy could be unpleasant.It got to the point where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen,making bold X"s and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers. However,when she reviewed his file,she got a surprise. Teddy"s first grade teacher wrote,"Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh.He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is a joy to be around." His second grade teacher wrote,"Teddy is an excellent student,well liked by his classmates ,but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle." His third grade teacher wrote,"His mother"s death has been hard on him.He tries to do his best but his father doesn"t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren"t taken." Teddy"s fourth grade teacher wrote,"Teddy is withdrawn and doesn"t show much interest in school.He doesn"t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class." Now,Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her beautifully wrapped Christmas presents.Teddy"s present,however,was clumsily wrapped in rough brown grocery paper.Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy"s gifts,a rhinestone bracelet with stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle.How the children laughed!"What a pretty bracelet!Mm,lovely perfume!Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent. Alone together,after school,Teddy told Mrs Thompson,"Today you smelled just like my Mom used to..." His teacher cried all night and,from that day,she stopped teaching reading, writing,and arithmetic and began to teach children instead.
1．What is the best title of this text?_____
A．A Student"s Best Friend B．How To Be a Good Student C．The Story of a Good Teacher D．A Teacher"s Lesson
2．Which of the following is true about Teddy?______

A．He became better at making friends. B．He became closer to his father. C．He paid less attention to school. D．He stopped doing his homework.
4．Why did Mrs Thompson feel ashamed after she read Teddy"s file?______
A．She didn"t treat Teddy fairly. B．She was being unpleasant to Teddy. C．She took delight in failing Teddy in the exam. D．She disliked Teddy for all his problems.
