Cheating is common in various kinds of exams in college.Students don't feel shameful to cheat in exams.They know that if caught cheating in an exam, the punishment will not be serious.This leads to frequent cheating in exams.
At the University of Nevada, after students photographed test questions with their cell-phone cameras, transmitted them to classmates outside the exam room and got the answers back in text messages, the university put in place a new monitoring system.
With their electronic tools, students these days find it easier to cheat.So college officials find themselves in a new game of cat and mouse, trying to gain an advantage over would-be cheats this exam season with a range of strategies-cutting off Internet access from laptops, or demanding the surrender of cellphones before tests.
Mr.Dapremont said technology had made cheating easier, but added that plagiarism in writing papers was probably a bigger problem because students can easily lift other people's writings off the Internet.
Still, some students said they thought cheating these days was more a product of an attitude, not the tool at hand.Pressure to succeed sometimes clouds everything and makes people do things that they shouldn't do.Students today feel more pressure to do well in order to graduate from school and secure a job.
Whatever the reasons for cheating, college officials say the battle against it is wearing them out.First, people who cheat in exams will lose interest in studying.Second, they believe studying isn't meaningful.Even though they don't do anything, they can still pass.Third, people who cheat in exams will influence others.Plenty of hard working people will see that their results are lower than people who cheat in exams.Thus, we must prevent cheating in exams.We reduce the opportunities for cheating in exams.
The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character.For that reason, there are numerous watchdog committees at all level of society.Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could that because we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty?
Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat.Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating-a person may feel “ they don't trust me anyway”, and be tempted to “ beat the system”.Distrust can be contagious.But, so can trust.

Beggars are often seen sitting under blankets with heads sadly bowed as people pass them by in Cambridge's market center.Some ask people passing by for change and some just sit and wait to be given money.A few use aggressive behavior to earn money.
To solve the problem of aggressive begging, an“alternative giving”plan has been suggested.Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station.It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless causes.
Supporters of this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars' alcohol and drug problems.But the police oppose the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality(犯罪)to feed their addictions.The homeless charity“Crisis”said the success of any plan will depend on its style.They think that imaginative and positive plans can help create local understanding and sympathy instead of hardness.Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers, food, and clothes.
Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries.Governments must play a big role in solving this problem.Training beggars to work and helping them to find appropriate jobs is one option.This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist.The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous, but as people who need understanding and help.

In a fast changing world, people seldom see a device or equipment that lasts for a long time these days.There are always new inventions, different models, or upgrades cropping up one after the other and as consumers people highly anticipate the faster and better kind than what they already have.Therefore it is quite a surprise that a mini projector(投影仪)is still in use today not only in small scale businesses, schools, or homes but in big corporations and institutions as well.Sure it has a few additional features here and there but the main function is the same.
A mini projector today has been fitted with top of the line parts and high quality materials to ensure its efficiency and performance can meet the demands of whoever it is for.It is so designed that it can be used indoors or outdoors with the same functions.The mini projector, as the name suggests, is handy and compact and can easily be brought anywhere by just one person.It can support a broader scope of signals now; USB and card readers are now installed to cope with the pieces of equipments that people use today to store data.
It can be used at home where it can provide as a form of entertainment or start a conversation during family bonding times.The owner can easily use the mini projector to share with other members the photos and videos of one particular vacation, or just to play a series of beautiful landscapes.
Offices also benefit from a mini projector especially during an important meeting or presentation.With at par resolution(标准的分辨率), employees can easily decipher(辨认)the text or data with the use of a mini projector, its bright LED light is sufficient enough to provide a bright and clear image without distortion(变形).Users can now bring this anywhere with them and can be especially useful on a location where the voltage(电压)is unknown.
Perhaps one of the more common places where a mini projector is used constantly is in schools.Teachers or professors use this as an aid to a lesson or discussion to provide better visual aids than usual and to even deliver their lecture with the use of a mini projector and minimize the use of a board and writing pen.It is often said that children have a very short attention span but they remember things more when things are presented to them visually.This is the perfect use of a mini projector in classrooms where kids easily forget their lesson for the day.Teachers use this to show the class pictures or illustrations that tie with the topics for students to remember.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. 66 What they look for is your patience—to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. 67 Together, you and your teen can work out a timetable in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect her privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. 68 If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches.
69 Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. 70 Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.
A. Encourage your teen to relax.
B. The best thing is simply to be there.
C. They will only make the situation worse.

认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的横线上填入最恰当的单词。
注意:每空只填一个单词。
Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how.
1). Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you can have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time fro entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
2). Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room. Free from everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
3). Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what your teachers say.
4). Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teachers mentioned in class. If you want to know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material in advance. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5). Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

阅读下面文章,根据语篇内容,用恰当的词完成题后表格中所缺单词。(每格限填一词)
Hey! It's going to be Mother's day again. Have you planned something good for your Mama? If not, try even one of these tips.
Make Your Mama Proud
What special talents do you have? Maybe this is the right time to show it to her. She would be very proud and surprised if she'd realized that you have something that she doesn't expect.
What's Her Favorite?
Most teens don't know what their mama's favorite. You do? Then, what are you waiting for ? Buy her some of her favorite stuff and put a little twist on it. Make it more special.
The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it. And, maybe, a little tear may fall down from her cheeks.
The Memories
Our mothers have special memories in mind. Those are the times that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Maybe you can tell her about the time she got mad at you because you did something that you thought is right but since that day forward you realized your mistakes. Or, you can tell her how happy you are when she was there during your painful days in your life.
Be Her
What does she look like if she is so exhausted and angry and tired? What does she do for your family? This is the right time to show her the things that she usually does at home. Try to imitate her voice when she is angry. Make your face as if you are her when she is mad.
Treat a Queen
Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off by being a servant to her.
Make-Over Beauty
Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, especially in the family, she doesn't look great any more. Admit it! Most mothers are not into trends anymore because their focusing on us.
Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look GLAMOROUS!
Have Some of Your Time
It's the cheapest but a meaningful way. Most of us are busy from our work, friends, boy/girl friends, school. We stay home late and after several hours, we go out again.
Have you ever had a meaningful time with your mother where you don't think or talk about problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her from the life she gave to you, the time she took care of you, and for every suffering she'd felt for you? Have you ever told her that you love her?
Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow nor today. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?
