While　 Jennifer　 was at hose　 taking　 an　 online　 exam　 for　 her　 business　 law　 class, a　 monitor（监控器）a　 few　 hundred　 miles　 away　 was　 watching　 her　 every　 move.

Using　 a　 web　 camera　 equipped　 in　 Jennifer’s　 Los　 Angeles　 apartment , the　 monitor　 in　 Phoenix　 tracked　 how　 frequently　 her　 eyes　 moved　 form　 the　 computer　 screen　 and　 listened　 for　 the　 secret　 sounds　 of　 a　 possible　 helper　 in　 the　 room. Her　 Internet　 access　 was　 locked — remotely — to　 prevent　 Internet　 searches , and　 her　 typing　 style　 was　 analyzed　 to　 make　 sure　 she　 was　 who she said　 she　 was: Did　 she　 enter　 her　 student　 number　 at　 the　 same　 speed　 as　 she　 had　 in　 the　 past? Or　 was　 she　 slowing　 down?

In　 the　 battle　 against　 cheating　 , this　 is　 the　 cutting　 edge　 and 　a　 key　 to　 encourage　 honesty　 in　 the　 booming　 field　 of　 online　 education. The　 technology　 gives　 trust　 to　 the　 entire　 system, to　 the　 institution　 and　 to　 online　 education　 in　 general.　 Only　 with　 solid　 measures　 against　 cheating, experts　 say, can　 Internet　 universities　 show　 that　 their　 exams　 and　 diplomas　 are　 valid — that　 students　 haven’t　 just　 searched　 the　 Internet　 to　 get　 the　 right　 answers.

　 Although online classes have existed for more than a decade ，the concern over cheating　 has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses." Private colleges，public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field . spending millions of dollars to attract potential students，while also taking steps to help guarantee　 honesty at a distance.

Aside from the web camers, a number of other hight-tich methods are becoming increasingly　 popular Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information,such as the telephone number they once used.

　　 Other programs can produce unique exam by drawing on a arge list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test question are answered at the same speed as easy ones ,As in many university classes ,term papers are scanned aganinest some large Internet data banks for cheating.

One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me.　 "This boy has lost his family," he wrote.　 "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?”

　　　　　　 I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically

　　　　　　 The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon一in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

　　　　　　 Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?

　　　　　　 "Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.

　　　　　　 "Ifs your turn," he said.

　　　　　　 After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times. about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.

　　　　　　 Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one一without any words一can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do .some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence,and that’sjust the reality of how life is .

However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to ger really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going fo feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good ai it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

Imagination　 and　 fantasy　 can　 play　 an important role in achiebving the things we fear.Children know this very well. Fred Epstein ,in his book If I Make It to Five,tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom,a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.

Tom loved to pretend,and he particularly loved to play superheroes ,Dr Epstein expained that it was actually a brilliant way for his yound mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.

The day before his thire trip to the operating room,Tom was terrbly afraid.”Maybe I could go as Superman ,”he whispered to his mom.Hearing this, the moter hesitated for a while.She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，but finally she agreed.

The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman,showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.And Tom,with the strength of his fantasy,successfully made it through the operation.

The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.we all hace the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought　 possible,to go through those things that seem impossible,and to achieve what we never believed we could,Just as Dr.Epstein puts it ,”If you can dream it,you can do it”

It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for you next job interview.But,next time you are texted in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it woule take to overcome it .Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your maind first.So,let your imagination run wild,and dare to dream.
