11.YOU CAN'T DO IT EVEN IF IT HURTS NOBODYWho do you think breaks the law in our society?If you believe that only tough guys commit crimes,you may have to think again.Unlike in the movies,we can't divide the world into bad guys and model citizens. Real life is much more complex.In the same way that diseases range from the common cold to fatal forms of cancer,crimes vary in degree.For example,smoking in an elevator will inconvenience people,but much less than threatening them with a gun.
In addition to breaking the law themselves,people tolerate various levels of crime.Why can we tolerate some crimes?It may be that,by seeing others do something,we accept it more easily.For instance,most people will find it easier to speed on a highway when everybody else is driving over the speed limit.When people celebrate a sports championship,if they see someone breaking store windows,they might start breaking windows themselves or even steal from the store.So the people around us influence how much law-breaking we can tolerate.
We must also wonder whether seeing violence on television or reading about it in the newspapers every day makes us tolerate crime more than we should.We become used to seeing blood on the news on television,or in full color in newspapers and magazines.Because we see thousands of dead people on TV,maybe we just try to ignore the situation behind the violence.If so many citizens tolerate violence and crime,or even commit crimes themselves,it may simply be because of the human mind.Our minds may not care about specific laws.Instead,our minds may have a system of values that usually prevents us from hurting other people to improve our own lives.Yet,when it comes to respecting the rights of a mass of anonymous (不知名的)individuals,we might not be so responsible.While most people would not steal a wallet containing 50,they may not mind cheating on taxes,because cheating on taxes does not hurt anyone person.It hurts society,but"society"remains an abstract idea that is not as real as a neighbor or a friend's friend.
When we realize that many people have misunderstandings of law-breaking,we could think it is surprising that so many people have a criminal record.How could we improve the level of honesty in our society?Would strict laws help make our society better?Probably not.Honesty will have to come from social pressure:in the family,at school,on the job,each and every one of us can encourage honesty by showing which behavior is unacceptable.And teaching respect should become everyone's responsibility.

分析 文章叙述了在现实生活中出现的各种各样的犯罪以及人们对与犯罪的认知态度以提醒人们要诚信做人.
解答 33-35 BAD
33:B 句意猜测题.根据本句的前后文:你认为谁在我们的社会中是违法的?如果你认为只有粗暴的人犯罪,你可能要再想想.与电影不同,我们不能把世界分成坏蛋和好人.真实的生活要复杂得多.在疾病的范围从普通的感冒到致命的癌症一样,犯罪的程度也不同.例如,在电梯里吸烟会给人带来不便,但远低于用抢来威胁他们,这些内容说明真实生活的复杂指的是在现实生活中有各种各样的人会犯罪,所以B正确.
34:A 细节推理题.根据最后一段When we realize that so many people have misunderstandings of law-breaking,it is not surprising that so many people tolerate crimes,or even break laws,including me当我们意识到这么多人对违法的误解,以致许多人容忍犯罪,这并不奇怪,甚至违反法律,包括我,可以判断A正确.
35:D 主旨大意题,根据最后一段Would strict laws help make our society better?Probably not.Honesty will have to come from social pressure:in the family,at school,on the job,each and every one of us can encourage honesty by showing which behavior is unacceptable.And teaching respect should become everyone's responsibility.严格的法律会使我们的社会更好吗?可能不会.诚实将不得不来自社会上的压力在家庭,在学校,在工作上,我们每一个人可以通过显示哪些行为是不可接受的来鼓励诚实.教授诚实是每一个人的责任,所以写作意图是:提醒人们要诚信做事,所以D正确.
