How much will international students have misconceptions about the U.S.? In an effort to quash some myths, here are the four most common stereotypes regarding college education in the United States.Myth 1: American students are not as academically driven in comparison to other nations.There are more than 3,000 universities in the United States. Some are highly selective, some not at all. The less selective colleges may consist of students who have little concern for their academic well-being, but in the more selective colleges you will find very committed students who will spend countless hours at night on their homework. This is a phrase in the United States called an―all nighter which is used when a student stays up all night to perfect an assignment. In truth, it is an issue of pride.Myth 2: American students party all night and day.While American students do enjoy the freedom to explore a full lifestyle, they are also expected to keep up with very high standards of social behavior. and academic excellence. International students often join clubs or organizations where they can become involved in exciting programs both on and off campus.Myth 3: American students are all rich and can afford a college education.Although a certain percentage of American college students do come from wealthy families and have large expendable incomes, most American college students come from moderate-income families. Most American students enter college knowing they must apply for loans, work part-time, and earn scholarships in order to meet their financial obligations.Myth 4: Most Americans (and college students) live in large cities which are crime-ridden with drugs and drive-by shootings.Of all industrialized nations, the United States has one of the lowest crimerates. College campuses are no exception. Safety is of primary importance to all students, parents, and staff at universities.Universities centered in major cities have endless services to ensure the safety of all students, from campus transportation services to on-campus police officers. Most of universities located outside of the city are very safe, and various precautions are made based on their demographic situation.(1) According to the passage, the word-myth means ().A、taleB、misunderstandingC、mistakeD、story(2) In selective colleges, you will find students ().A、are not as academically driven in comparison to other nationsB、have little concern for their academic well-beingC、spend countless hours on their homeworkD、party all night and day(3) Which of the following is NOT the way most American students pay for their college education?A、Work part-timeB、Apply for loansC、Earn scholarshipsD、Borrow money from their parents(4) College campuses in the United States ().A、are very safeB、are crime-riddenC、have high crime ratesD、are too safe to make precautions(5) According to the passage, what can we learn about American college students?A、Students are tired of staying up all night to perfect an assignment.B、Some students have little concern for their academic well-being.C、They come from wealthy families and can afford a college education.D、International students will not join clubs or organizations.

The British Medical Journal recently featured a strong response to what was judged an inappropriately lenient reaction by a medical school to a student cheating in an examination.  Although we have insufficient reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense and concepts with face validity.  There is general agreement that there should be zero tolerance of cheating in a profession based on trust and one on which human lives depend. It is reasonable to assume that cheaters in medical school will be more likely than others to continue to act dishonestly with patients,colleagues, insurers, and government.  The behaviours under question are multifactorial in origin. There are familial, religious, and cultural values that are acquired long before medical school. For example, countries, cultures, and subcultures exist where bribes and dishonest behaviour are almost a norm. There are secondary schools in which neither staff nor students tolerate cheating and others where cheating is rampant;there are homes which imbue young people with high standards of ethical behaviour and others which leave ethical training to the harmful influence of television and the market place.  Medical schools reflect society and cannot be expected to remedy all the ills of a society. The selection process of medical students might be expected to favour candidates with integrity and positive ethical behaviour--if one had a reliable method for detecting such characteristics in advance. Medical schools should be the major focus of attention for imbuing future doctors with integrity and ethical sensitivity. Unfortunately there are troubling, if inconclusive, data that suggest that during medical school the ethical behaviour of medical students does not necessarily improve;indeed, moral development may actually stop or even regress.  The creation of a pervasive institutional culture of integrity is essential. It is critical that the academic and clinical leaders of the institution set a personal example of integrity. Medical schools must make their institutional position and their expectations of students absolutely clear from day one. The development of a school's culture of integrity requires a partnership with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and nurturing. Moreover, the school's examination system and general treatment of students must be perceived as fair. Finally, the treatment of infractions must be firm, fair, transparent, and consistent.According to the author, what precautions should medical schools take to prevent students from cheating  A. Medical schools should establish a firm moral standard to weed out applicants with low integrity.B. Medical schools should make efforts to remedy the ills of a society.C. Medical schools should teach future doctors integrity and ethical values.D. There is nothing medical schools can do to improve the ethical behaviour of their students.
