单选题 Cheating in GCSE and A-Levels by pupils, teachers and even school exam centres rose markedly last year, with ever more sophisticated electronic gadgets being smuggled into exam halls. The number of teenagers found guilty of cheating rose by 6.2% to 4,415 during last summer's exams. But not only pupils were at it—the number of teachers disciplined for test 'malpractice' was 30% higher than the year before. A breakdown of figures from the Office of the Qualifications and Exams Regulator (Ofqual) showed that the most common form of cheating was 'bringing a mobile phone or other electronic gadget' into the room. Some candidates were caught with concealed earpieces, described as 'exam cheat equipment' on some of the websites that sell them, which could receive information from outside an exam hall. Exam bosses admitted that these were more difficult to detect, although many schools now use mobile tracking devices to detect whether a signal is being sent from anywhere in the room. The second most common cause of malpractice was plagiarism (剽窃) or copying other students' work, which accounted for 1084 cases. Disruptive behavior in the exam room, including swearing (讲脏话), rose from 514 cases in 2008 to 539 last year. Candidates were also docked marks for including offensive and obscene comments in their exam papers. In total, 2,155 students lost marks after being found guilty, 644 failed their exams and 1,616 escaped with warnings. 'Candidates who bring a mobile phone into an exam room but do not have the phone at their desk might receive a warning, whereas candidates found using a mobile phone during an exam might be disqualified from the unit or qualification in the current exam series a spokesman for Ofqual explained. The number of teachers disciplined rose from 68 to 88, and 17 were suspended from invigilating (监考) in exams. Their crimes include leaving the exam hall unsupervised and helping candidates to answer questions. Ofqual stressed that the figures confirmed that only 0.03% of pupils cheated in exams taken last summer. However, Jim Sinclair, director of the Joint Council for Qualifications, the organization which represents the examination boards, said it took a 'zero tolerance' approach to all forms of cheating, including the possession of unauthorized items such as mobile phones, iPods and other digital music players. Mick Brookes, of the National Association of Head Teachers, said he did not condone cheating but pointed out that children knew some exams were 'extremely high stakes' and schools were under more pressure to succeed. 'Young people are in a highly pressurized environment, partly due to the jobs market being more difficult than it was, and university entrance being restricted,' he added.

单选题For three decades we"ve heard endlessly about the virtues of aerobic (increasing oxygen consumption) exercise. Medical authorities have praised running and jumping as the key to good health, and millions of Americans have taken to the treadmill (踏车) to reap the rewards. But the story is changing. Everyone from the American Heart Association to the surgeon general"s office has recently embraced strength training as a complement to aerobics. And as weight lifting has gone mainstream, so has the once obscure practice known as "Super Slow" training. Enthusiasts claim that by pumping iron at a snail"s pace—making each "rep" (repeat) last 14 seconds instead of the usual seven—you can safely place extraordinary demands on your muscles, and call forth an extraordinary response. Slow lifting may not be the only exercise you need, as some advocates believe, but the benefits are often dramatic. Almost anyone can handle this routine. The only requirements are complete focus and a tolerance for deep muscular burn. For each exercise—leg press, bench press, shoulder press and so on—you set the machine to provide only moderate resistance. But as you draw out each rep, depriving yourself of impetus, the weight soon feels unbearable. Defying the impulse to stop, you keep going until you can"t complete a rep. Then you sustain your vain effort for 10 more seconds while the weight sinks gradually toward its cradle. Intense? Uncomfortable? Totally. But once you embrace muscle failure as the goal of the workout, it can become almost pleasure. The goal is not to burn calories while you"re exercising but to make your body burn them all the time. Running a few miles may make you sweat, but it expends only 100 calories per mile, and it doesn"t stimulate much bone or muscle development. Strength training doesn"t burn many calories, either. But when you push a muscle to failure, you set off a pour of physiological changes. As the muscle recovers over several days, it will thicken and the new muscle tissue will demand sustenance. By the time you add three pounds of muscle, your body requires an extra 9,000 calories a month just to break even. Hold your diet steady and, very quickly, you are vaporizing body fat. One might have benefited from any strength-training program. But advocates insist that the slow technique is safer and more effective than traditional methods.
