Everybody cheats. Whether it’s the taxi driver who tricks a visitor and takes them the long way round, or the shop assistant who doesn’t give the correct change, or the police officer who accepts a bribe (贿赂) – everybody’s at it. Cheats in the nest include the scientist whose research was based on fake data, the game show competitors who worked with a friend in the audience or win a million pounds, and the doctor who made up his qualifications and wasn’t really a doctor at all. Everybody cheats; nobody’s playing the game.
Is cheating acceptable, a natural way of surviving and being successful? Or is it something that should be frowned on, and young people discouraged from doing? If it’s the latter how can we explain to children why so many bend the rules?
Take sport for example. The Word Cup was filled with cheating. Whether diving, pretending to be hurt or denying a handball, footballers will do anything for a free – kick or a penalty shot. France striker Henry denied cheating to win the free – kick which led to his side’s second goal in their 3 – 1 victory over Spain. Many footballers, however, are often putting it on. Whatever the nationality there’s one common ploy: the player rolls over holding their leg, ankle or head seeming to be in great pain. As a result a yellow card and / or free – kick is given for the foul and then, a few seconds later, the player is up and about as if nothing had happened ! The ref (裁判) may be taken in by it but youngsters watching the game aren’t. they also see their heroes getting away with it.
Of course it’s not just football. In 1998 the Tour de France, the world’s greatest cycling event, was hit by a drug – taking scandal (丑闻). The 40 bottles of forbidden drugs found with the Fustian team caused a massive investigation that almost caused the Tour to be abandoned. One rider, Veronique, was banned for 9 months. He claimed: “You have cheats in sport, just as you do in business – there will always be people trying to take a short cut. At least we’re not turning a blind eye to the problem, which other sports are.”
Is it all unavoidable? There’s huge pressure on all athletes to perform for their fans and for their sponsors. It’s success, money and power that rule professional sport rather than an honest at tempt to do the best one can.
Meanwhile companies around the world are losing billions of dollars to fake products. From cut price CDs and DVDs to sportswear, cheap fake products are everywhere. It has become socially acceptable to buy fake Gucci bags and illegal copies of films. If parents are doing this, their children will follow.
So perhaps it’s not surprising that around the world more pupils than ever are caught cheating during exams. In one case missing exam papers were put up for sale on the Internet. In another, widespread cheating took place by pupils using their mobile phones to receive tested answers. They blame the pressure put on them to do well in exams. It doesn’t help that their role models are also cheats. Surely we can’t complain when we’re setting such a bad example.

查看习题详情和答案>>us towards achieving our goals, and gives us a reason to do the things that are required to reach our goals. There are two kinds of motivation: outside and self-motivation.
Outside motivation is motivation from an inspiring book, a story about courage, nature or even a child. You could be motivated after hearing a speech from an inspirational speaker or you might want to do
something for the community when you heard a heartwarming story. Sometimes, it is through outside
motivation that we think about our life and our achievements. Outside motivation gives you hope and
reminds you that it is possible to be successful and happy.
There is no stronger motivation than self-motivation. People can tell you all kinds of inspiring stories,
advice and encouragement but if we have no desire to change, it can't motivate us. Self-motivation
requires us to look within ourselves to find the reason to drive us towards our goal. We accept and
acknowledge what is lacked in our life and make it our goal to change ourselves. Self-motivation requires
a lot of perseverance and belief. In self-motivation, we tell ourselves what we want to do; nobody and
nothing can otherwise inspire us to take action. We are in charge of our actions and emotions.
Outside motivation could be the first step in helping us identify our goals. It gives us hope and
sometimes provides us with the guidelines towards achieving our goals. However, as this is other
people's experience, we might get side tracked or find it difficult to follow. Of course, we can be
de-motivated (消极的) too by our own self-motivation. However, as it comes from within us and we
master the process, self-motivation is a stronger and more secure way to help us achieve our goals.
B. It's easy to follow other people's experiences to make progress.
C. Outside motivation gives us hope to achieve success.
D. A speech from a famous speaker may motivate us.
B. comes into effect through outside motivation.
C. may make us easily doubt others' advice.
D. requires us to find the reason to succeed from outside.
B. listing numbers
C. making comparisons
D. using definitions
B. Two Ways To Achieve Goals.
C. Outside Motivation or Self-motivation: Which is stronger?
D. Outside Motivation: the Key to Success.
