Cheating（欺騙）can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.

Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test--unless the person cheats again.

People lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and may be at home, too.

Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating, even when there seems to be a good reason for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.

If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.

A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.

1.The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, ______.

A. it is unfair to other people B. it does harm to their health

2.Some students like cheating mainly because______.

A. the material in the test is very difficult.

B. they want to do better than the others

D. they have little time to study their lessons.

3.The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.

A. some kids can’t pass the test without cheating

B. why kids cheat in the test

Several days ago, I was walking home from school and saw some writing on the fence of a house I was passing by. It said, “Happiness is a direction, not a destination (終點(diǎn)).” I had been having a bad day and just reading this brightened my day a little. I also took out a pen and wrote one of my favorite quotes (格言) down.

When I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine in the handwriting as the first one. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while. One day, I was writing another quote on the fence and the old man, one of my neighbors, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be mad at me for writing on his fence; he was not known to be very friendly. He gave me a sharp glance and then read the quotes on the fence. Without saying a word, he said something to himself and then went back inside. I was a bit terrified for a while, afraid to go back to the fence, but when I did, I noticed not more quotes but two words in entirely different handwriting had been added, “Thank you.”

Later, I saw the old man in his front yard. He beckoned (召喚) me over and told me how my quotes had been inspiring him, how he thanked me and how he was glad to see young people still have “values”. We are now good friend and I talk to him a lot. This experience has changed my life. I still don’t know who wrote that very first quote, but if he is out there, I’d like to say “thanks” to that unknown friend.

1.How did the author feel before he saw the words on the fence?

A. Excited B. Bored C. Unhappy D. Tired

2.Why did the writer begin to write a quote on the fence?

A. He wanted to practice his handwriting.

B. He had gotten some help from the quote.

C. He thought doing this was interesting.

D. He wanted to catch his neighbor’s attention.

3.Why was the writer afraid when he found that his neighbor had seen him?

A. He had thought that the old man was a mad person.

B. he had once been told the old man was cold-hearted.

C. He thought the old man would scold(責(zé)罵) him for what he had done.

D. He thought the old man would tell his parents about his action.

4.Who must have added “Thank you.” to the fence?

A. The old man. B. Someone else.

C. The writer himself. D. That unknown friend.

5.We can learn from the passage that __________.

A. writing quotes on fences is a good idea

B. the writer has written three quotes on the fence

C. the good relationship between neighbors is very important.

D. the old man has changed his opinion about young people.
