A student and his teacher were walking through the forest．The student was1 by the fact that his mind was in constant（不断的） unrest．
He asked his teacher 2 , “Why most people’s minds are restless , and only a few possess a 3 mind? What can one do to4 the mind?”
The teacher looked at the student, smiled and said, “I will tell you a story．An elephant was 5 and picking leaves from a tree．A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his 6 ．The elephant waved it away with his big ears, Then the fly came again, and the elephant 7 it away once more．
This was 8 several times．Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and 9 ？Why can’t you stay for a while in one place? ”
The fly answered, “I am10 to whatever I see, hear or smell．My five senses pull me constantly in all 11 and I cannot resist them．What is your 12 ? How can you stay so calm and still?”
The elephant stopped 13 and said, “My five senses do not rule my attention．Now that I am 14 immersed（沉浸） in eating ．In this way I can enjoy my 15 and chew it better．I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around．”
Upon 16 these words, the student’s eyes opened wide and a 17 smile appeared on his face．He looked at his teacher and said, “I understand! If my five senses are in control of my 18 , then my mind will be in constant unrest．If I 19 my five senses and attention, then my mind will become calm．”
“Yes, that’s right,” answered the teacher,” If the mind is 20 , it will go wherever the attention is．Control your attention, and you control your mind．”

阅读快车系列答案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(令人吃惊的) 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, but cheating can be prevented. Teachers 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(驱逐) a student, which will most likely hindertheir 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 to 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.
