Once there was a great Sufi saint. In his last days, someone asked him about his master. The saint said, “Since you asked, I will certainly tell you about two masters.”

The first master was a thief.

Once I got lost and when I found a way and reached the village it was too late.1. At last I found a man who was trying to make a hole in a wall. I asked him if I could find a place to stay. He replied, “It will be difficult, but you can stay with me if it’s OK with you to stay with a thief.”2..Each night he would say, “I am going to work .You can rest and pray.” When he came back, I would ask him, “3.”H e would reply, “No, not tonight but tomorrow I will try again. God Willing.” He never lost hope and he was always happy. One month later, I left the thief.

When I got hopeless I would remember words of that thief - God willing. Tomorrow It is going to happen.

The second master was a dog.

Once I was going along the side of a river, I saw a dog that was very thirsty. I saw that as the dog looked into river to drink water, he saw his own image and got afraid. 4. But because the dog was too thirsty he would come hack. This happened many times but finally despite his fear, the dog jumped into water.

Seeing this I knew that it was a message from God. 5.

A.Did you get anything today?

B. I stayed with him for a month.

C. Can you tell me where it has gone?

D. With a Master you start learning to learn.

E. Everything was closed and there was no one outside.

F. Seeing his own reflection the dog barked and ran away.

G. It means that one has to go forward despite all of his fears.

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife, enjoying his extended family. He would miss the pay check, but he needed to retire.

The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used shoddy materials to build the house. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to inspect the house, he handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.”

What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in a home he hadn’t built very well.

It is the same with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up with less than the best. At important points, we don’t give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall, build wisely. It is the only life you ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plague (牌匾) on the wall says, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.”

Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

1.Why was the carpenter ready to retire?

A. He wanted to have a relaxed life.

B. He found a better-paid job.

C. He could still survive without working.

D. He was tired of his job.

2.What does the underlined word “shoddy” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A. Beautiful. B. Best. C. Bad. D. General.

3.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph?

A. We should build a good house to live in.

B. We always regret what we have done.

C. We should try our best to do things well.

D. We prefer to react, rather than act.

4.What does the author mainly want to tell us in the text?

A. We should build a house wisely.

B. Life is a do-it-yourself project.

C. Building a house is like building a life.

D. We should have the right attitude towards life.

A student walks into his first class and realizes he forgot all about the midterm exam. He knows he needs to bring his grades up, and getting a zero will make it nearly impossible. He quickly jots down some notes and shoves them under his lap hoping it will help him pass. Cheating is a major concern in all academic environments. Students are creating new and more outrageous(令人吃驚的）ways of cheating every day: some claim that certain accounts of cheating can be justified, but overall it can always be prevented.

Cheating has been around forever, and millions of ways to cheat have been fashioned. Copying homework and cheat sheets are some of the most basic ways students in all education levels have cheated. Some students think nothing about writing a few answers on their hand, in a gum wrapper, or boldly using a study guide to cheat. Desperate students have even gone as far as to steal the test or scan in bottle wrappers and put answers into the nutrition label. The internet has now become available in almost every location. Computers can be accessed at school, at home, and now even on cell phones. This opens a doorway for even more methods of cheating to be born.

There are countless opinions on whether or not cheating can be justified. The truth is this behavior will always be a matter of opinion with each scenario of cheating. Students often rationalize their cheating by claiming they forgot to look over the material or did not understand what the teacher or professor was saying. Some may counter these arguments by saying that the student could have set reminders or asked the teacher to explain the material before the day of the test. Some other reasons students believe cheating is justified are their heavy workloads and trying to find time for school, sports, friends, and family. This may be true in certain instances, however, all students have these problems, and it is unfair to the students refrain(制止) from cheating when the student who is dishonest receives a better grade. The majority of students who think cheating is acceptable may believe the reason for this is that sometimes students are unaware they are cheating, there is not enough time given for assignments, or that the information is too much for the course.

It may be difficult to accomplish, hut cheating can be prevented. 1'eachers and professors have tried many options to stop cheating. These options can range anywhere from simply spreading test-takers out in a room, to expelling（驅(qū)逐）a student, which will most likely hinder their plans of getting into another college. One simple way to fix the problem is to scold the student when caught. They may be so scared or embarrassed that they never do it again. This is a risky way to prevent cheating in some cases, however, because it can possibly damage self-esteem. Another simple way 10 avoid cheating is to create many different kinds of the same test. This prohibits students from getting the answers off of a neighbor's test, but students still have the option of using other cheating tactics.

There may be a million ways to cheat and get away with it, but there are few times, if any, that it is justified. Cheating never has to be a necessity and is never worth compromising morals and losing years worth of working towards a degree. This problem is spreading throughout America; with everyone's help, it can be stopped.

1.Which is the best title of this passage?

A. To cheat or not to cheat B. Show your opinion on cheating

C. Debates on cheating D. Different ways of cheating

2.The second paragraph mainly tells us that .

A. cheating through the Internet is the most basic way

B. students who cheat in exams are cleverer

A. they don't understand their teachers' words

B. they bury themselves in a lot of homework

C. they don't have enough time to complete the study tasks

D. they forget to look over the material

4.What is the disadvantage of scolding the cheating students according to the passage?

A. They may continue to cheat next time.

B. They may be hurt mentally.

C. They may use other cheating tactics.

D. They may get on badly with their teachers.

5.What is the author's attitude towards cheating?
