Many students tend to copy others’ homework while the deadline comes, as is often the case. But nowadays, more students chose to hire someone to write to homework for them. Therefore, on-line ghostwriting has emerged to meet students’ needs. In our surprise, parents make up a large part in those homework buyer.
Too much homework may be main reason for ghostwriting phenomenon. Many students cannot finish their homework on time, but they do this to avoid the punishment of their teachers. Beside, poor sense of time makes this too late for students to finish homework before deadline.
In my opinion, proper amount of homework and the cultivation of sense of time may help solving this problem.

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述的是关于学生作业的一种现象。许多学生倾向于在截止日期到来的时候抄袭别人的作业,这是常有的事。但是现在,越来越多的学生选择雇一个人来为他们写作业。作者看来,适当的作业量和时间感的培养可能有助于解决这个问题。
1.考查连词。许多学生倾向于在截止日期到来时抄袭别人的作业,这是常有的事。此处come是终止性动词,故应该用when引导时间状语从句。
2.考查时态。根据nowadays可知句子用一般现在时态,再根据句子主语more students是复数形式,故把chose→choose。
3.考查动词。此处write是及物动词,后面直接跟名词做宾语,“写作业”,故删除write后的to。
4.考查固定词组。To one’s surprise使某人惊讶的是,故把In→To。
5.考查名词复数。those后面用名词复数,故把buyer→buyers。
6.考查冠词。句意:过多的家庭作业可能是代笔现象的主要原因。此处特指“主要的原因”,故在main前加the。
7.考查并列连词。句意:许多学生不能按时完成作业,所以他们这样做是为了避免老师的惩罚。前后是因果关系,故把but→so。
8.考查副词。Beside在---旁边;Besides另外。此外,对时间的缺乏感会让学生在截止日期前完成作业就太迟了。故把Beside→Besides。
9.考查it的用法。此外,对时间的缺乏感会让学生在截止日期前完成作业就太迟了。Cichuit是形式主语,动词不定式是真正的主语,故把this→it。
10.考查固定结构。在我看来,适当的作业量和时间感的培养可能有助于解决这个问题。help to do sth.帮助某人做某事,其中to可以省略,故把solving→solve。

Today and every day we are the targets of salespeople, marketers, advertisers, fundraisers and politicians trying to persuade us to buy something, do something or think a certain way. Over the years, they’ve learned a lot about which features to build into a communication to increase its success. But, by concentrating on the message itself, they’ve missed a crucial component of the process. Research done in the last 15 years shows that the best persuasion is achieved through good presuasion: the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they know what’s in it.
Presuasion works by focusing people’s preliminary(开始的) attention on a selected concept—let’s say softness—which encourages them to overvalue related opportunities that immediately follow. In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were sent to a site that illustrated either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page. Those who saw the soft clouds were more likely to prefer soft, comfortable sofas for purchase, whereas those who saw the small amounts of money preferred inexpensive models.
A following study showed the primitiveness of the presuasive mechanism. Subjects became three times more likely to help a researcher who “accidentally” dropped some items if, immediately before, they’d been exposed to images of figures standing together in a friendly pose. If this tripling of helpfulness doesn’t seem remarkable enough, consider that the subjects were 18 months old — hardly able to reason or review or reflect.
Long before scientists started studying the process, a few notable communicators had an intuitive understanding of it.
In February 2015, the financial investor Warren Buffett had a problem. It was 50 years since he had taken control of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., guiding it to amazing levels of value, along with his brilliant partner Charlie Munger. Many investors were worried that, because Buffett and Munger were getting older, these levels couldn’t be maintained in the future, perhaps making it time to sell Berkshire stock.
To respond to these concerns, Buffett wrote a letter to shareholders in which he described various reasons for confidence in Berkshire’s continuing profitability. But, before the description of strengths, he declared with characteristic sincerity that what he was about to state was ‘what I would say to my family today if they asked me about Berkshire’s future.” The result was a flood of favorable reaction to the letter as well as a per-share increase for the year of nearly five times that of the S&P.
With considerable success, practitioners of social influence have always placed persuasive prods(刺激)—small gifts, emotional draw, last-chance opportunities—inside their appeals. Perhaps because of that success, they’ve mostly missed an accompanying truth. For maximum impact, it’s not only what you do; it’s also what you do just before you do what you do.
