Some fifty years ago , I was studying in a middle school in New York . One day , Mrs. O’Neil gave a maths test to our class . When the papers were marked , she found that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes in the test .

There is nothing new about cheating in exams . Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neil didn’t even say one word about it . She only asked the twelve boys to stay after class . I was one of the twelve .

Mrs. O’Neil asked no questions , and she didn’t scold us , either . Instead , she wrote the following words on the blackboard : On your way home you find some money and you’re completely sure that you will never be found out . Later someone comes to ask you if you have found some money he lost . What will you do ?

She then ordered us to write down the question , and asked us to take our whole lives to try to find out our own answer to it .

I don’t know about the other eleven children . Speaking for myself I can say : it was the most important single thing of my life. From then on , I have been asking this question to myself when I have to make a decision .

Because of this , Mrs . O’Neil has become the most unforgettable teacher for me in my whole life . I often think of this : if Mrs . O’Neil had scolded us as many other teachers often did , would I go on cheating every day ?

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學年山東省濟寧市金鄉(xiāng)一中高一1月考前模擬英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

Every day on the road, accidents are caused. They do not only happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.
Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.
By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.
It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety actions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.
【小題1】This passage might be written to         .

A．college studentsB．drivers
C．ordinary citizensD．businessmen
【小題2】“Accident-prone” in Paragraph 2 means          .
A．likely to have accidents B．injured in accidents
C．likely to die in accidentsD．responsible for road accidents
【小題3】The passage suggests that           .
A．a(chǎn)ccidents mostly result from slippery roads
B．a(chǎn)ccidents are usually caused by psychological factors
C．doctors run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories
D．a(chǎn)bout 50,000 people lost their lives at work in Britain every day
【小題4】Which of the following is NOT discussed as a factor of accidents in this passage?
A．Mood B．Carelessness C．TirednessD．Weather
