Electronic monitoring devices, mobile phone detectors and giant screens connected to
close-circuit TV cameras. Does it sound like a high security operation? Well, the National
College Entrance Examination (NCEE) in China is nothing less than that.
The education authorities' efforts to prevent cheating at the exam have gone almost
unnoticed. The authorities launched the country's new monitoring system for the all-
important exam yesterday. The system is based on local schools' networks and is connected
to provincial headquarters, especially set up for the exam. The government has plans to
cover all the 31 provinces and regions in the next three years and offer the services for
other national exams, too.
The records of students caught cheating during national tests, such as the college
entrance exam, would be stored in the system and made available online for higher
educational institutions' and future employers' reference.
But despite all these measures, cheating remains a big temptation for some candidates.
The number of students caught cheating in last year's NCEE was 3,000, up from 1,300 in
2005. But this is hardly surprising because passing the NCEE is the only way most of the
students can get access to higher education.
10.1 million students registered for this year's NCEE, 9.6 million taking the exam,
but only 5.67 million would enter college. Among the successful candidates will be about
500,000 with special merits who will be admitted to universities directly, which means
roughly 13 in every 24 candidates can actually enter college. That should explain why
some students are tempted to cheat during the exam.
Cheating in such a well-monitored exam is not an easy thing to do, says an MOE
official, and it's very risky business too. The chance of a student getting away with
cheating is minuscule. And if caught, he/she risks ruining his/her entire career because
higher educational institutions and potential employers can always check his/her record.

| World' s Amazing Festivals El Colacho: The Baby-Jumping Festival In this festival, grown men jump over newborns, with their parents' permission. Wearing scary costumes, the Spanish men attempt to "clean" babies of evil. The town has observed the strange practice since 1620, and any onlookers (旁观者) who seem to be in need of a quick exorcism(~) are pulled into the event, as well. Hadakamatsuri : The Naked (裸露的) Festival This is a Japanese festival where participants wear little clothing. Naked Festivals are held in dozens of places throughout Japan every year, usually in summer or winter. Hidden somewhere in these men is one fully naked man. Touching him is believed to bring good luck. The Monkey Buffet (自助餐) Festival Every year, about 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables during an annual feast in Thailand. It is held in honour Rama, the greatest of the gods. It is said that Rama once rewarded his friend Hanuman, the Monkey King, with some land. Organizers of the annual Monkey Bullet use more than 3,000kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the festival. The Cheese Rolling Festival This event is held in England. Though it might sound very gentle, cheese-rolling is actually very dangerous. Running down a very steep hill behind a 7-pound wheel of cheese can be very dangerous. In fact, the police have attempted to ban the event, but participants have refused to carry out the ban. Men and their cheese wheels cannot be separated so easily. So what happens during a cheese roll? Simple: The cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese. However, as the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, it rarely happens that someone catches the cheese. The first to reach the bottom wins the cheese.
