Quite contrary to general belief,it is not only bad guys that commit crimes,good guys do that too.Sadly enough,unlike in the movies,we can't actually divide the world into good and bad guys.Real life is never as simple as that.Just as diseases range from the common cold to serious forms of cancer,crimes also vary in degree.For example,smoking in an elevator will trouble people ,but much less than endangering them with a gun.
Besides breaking the law themselves,people tolerate various levels of crime.Why?It may be that,by seeing others do something,we accept it more easily.For example,most people will find it easier to speed on a highway when everybody else is driving over the speed limit.So the people around us influence how much law-breaking we can tolerate.
We must also wonder whether seeing violence on television or reading about it in the newspapers makes us tolerate crime more than we should.We become used to seeing blood on the media.Because we see thousands of dead people on TV,maybe we just try to ignore the situation behind the violence.
If so many citizens tolerate violence and crime,or even commit crimes themselves,it may simply be because of the human mind.Our minds may not care about specific laws.Instead,we may have a system of values that usually prevents us from hurting other people to improve our own lives.Yet,when it comes to respecting the rights of a mass of unknown individuals,we might not be so responsible.While most people would not steal a wallet containing $50,they may not mind cheating on taxes,because cheating on taxes does not hurt any single person.It hurts society,but "society" remains an abstract idea that is not as real as a certain person.
When we realize that many people have mistaken belief about law-breaking,we could think it isn't surprising that so many people have a criminal record.How could we improve the level of honesty in our society?Would strict laws help make our society better?Probably not.Honesty will have to come from social pressure:in the family,at school,on the job,each and every one of us can encourage honesty by showing which behaviors are unacceptable.
(1)What is the general belief about committing crimes? Only bad guys commit crimes.Only bad guys commit crimes.
(2)What does the writer think of the violence on social media? It makes us tolerate crime more than we should./It makes us more used to violence than we should.It makes us tolerate crime more than we should./It makes us more used to violence than we should.

Some people do not mind cheating on taxes because they believe cheating on taxes is not a crime by nature. because they believe cheating on taxes is not a crime by nature...cheating on taxes doesn't hurt any single person.because they believe cheating on taxes is not a crime by nature...cheating on taxes doesn't hurt any single person.
(4)How can we improve the level of honesty in our society?(about 40 words) First,we should use social pressure to fight against dishonesty.Then,we should also make more rules against dishonesty.Of course,it would be a good idea to promote public awareness on the harm dishonesty does to our society.Lastly,publicizing and awarding honesty will be a good option.First,we should use social pressure to fight against dishonesty.Then,we should also make more rules against dishonesty.Of course,it would be a good idea to promote public awareness on the harm dishonesty does to our society.Lastly,publicizing and awarding honesty will be a good option.

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
