we

think

of

green

buildings,

we

tend

to

think

of

new

ones-the

kind

of

high- tech,

them with greener versions. A(n)_____ amount of energy and resources went into the construction

home

nearly half of US carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and_____our homes, offices and

“Success.”The

discovered

a “new world” in the Western Hemisphere. Early immigrants like Hector St. Jean de

Crevecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. His glowing

descriptions of a__1___society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work

fired the imaginations of many European readers: in Letters from an American Farmer (1782) he

wrote.

“We

are

all

at

an

which

is

___our personal relationships: today it’s

as important to be “successful” in marriage or parenthoods as it

41

children from

families and communities that have the resources needed to organize and

42

sports

programs and make sure that there is easy

43

to participation opportunities. Children in

low-income

families

and

poor

are

48

that

the

behavior

This

people to believe that if you could organize the experiences of children in

ways, you

could influence the kinds of adults that those children would become.

There Student thieves look out. Students can easily get many research papers off the Internet.

A new Web site could help teachers catch copiers.

Some students research and write their term papers. Others, however, just copy them off the

Internet and turn them in as their work.

Two graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley have written a program to

catch the students who copy. It compares a student’s paper with every other term paper on the

Web.

A hundred million Web pages on the Internet are searched. The top 20 search engines are

used for the search. This service can be found at www. plagiarism. com. They also have a local

data base of term papers.

Teachers who sign up can send their students’ papers to the Web site. Within 24 hours the

y

know if the student did the work.

Every sentence that was a word-for-word match with another sentence either found on the

Internet or within our database is coded.

A U.C. Berkeley professor told his class he would use the program. Still some students

copied papers. All 300 papers went through the program. In 45 papers or 15 percent of students

had cut and pasted large amounts of material from different World Wide Web sites.

Students that say they didn’t copy can defend themselves. They can show the ins

tructors

where they got their material. Students at universities try hard to get good grades. Some students

welcome the Internet research watchdog because they say it is fair to all. They think copying is

wrong.

56. One reason why plagiarism has increased is that ______.

A. student cheat more today

B. their reasoning and survival skills improved

C. students couldn’t find information to copy before the Internet was developed

D. it is so easy to cut and paste papers or parts of papers from the Internet

57. Using the program developed at University of California at Berkeley, the papers are checked

by using ______.

A. printing and looking carefully at hundreds of papers on the Internet

B. a search of many Web pages and a comparison of words used

C. asking the student where they got the information in the paper

D. comparing all the papers which are turned in by the students

58. If teachers want to find out if their students wrote their own papers, ______.
