Like most other US college students, Eric Rogers knows that submitting a term paper taken off the Internet is plagiarism(抄袭)and cause for suspension(停学)or a failing grade.

  What about using a paragraph? “Just a paragraph,” he said.“Taking a paragraph and changing words.I’ve done that before; it wasn’t a big deal,” he decided finally.“As long as I can change it into my words, change a few, it’s not cheating.”

    Under the honor code he signed when he entered Duke University last year, it is.But for many college students, the once-clear lines that explain cheating have faded.Some colleges and universities have made use of sophisticated (精良的)search engines to ferret out cheats.But an increasing number are turning to something decidedly more low-tech: their honor codes.Some campuses are adopting codes for the first time.Others, among them Duke, admitting that their codes have existed mostly in name only, are rewriting and forcing them to buy.

    Cheating has become so common, experts say, that it often goes unreported and unpunished.Surveys show not only that there is more cheating these days but also that students and teachers alike have become more accepting of some practices once considered out of limits.One such survey was performed for the Centre for Academic Integrity, an organization based at Duke that helps create honor codes.In that survey, 27 percent of students questioned during the 2001—2002 academic year said that falsifying (伪造)laboratory data happened “often or very often” on campus.

    The new honor codes aim to punish more while also forcing students and faculty members to think about the kinds of offenses that are cheating.At large universities and small liberal art colleges alike, educators talk about restoring a “culture of honor”.

    “It’s a psychological effect: if people expect you to be honorable, you are more likely to respond with honorable behavior,” said Nannerl O.Keohane, the president of Duke.

    At Duke, a new “community standard” for academic honesty will take effect next fall.

    Under it, the staff will no longer have to proctor exams, but students will face punishment if they see cheating and do not report it.Factually members will have greater power to discipline first-time cheats, authority that the university hopes will encourage them to face offenders.

A.is professor in the US college

C.a survey was performed to know if cheating is common on campus

D.many students have broken the honor codes

You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.

       The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.

       Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

       When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate (沉思), or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.

       When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce(加强)your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.

1.The main purpose of this passage is to      _____.

A.persuade the readers to make a commitment

B.explain to the readers what personal values are

C.inform the readers how to be truly happy

D.instruct the readers how to make wise choices

2.According to the text, living by your being values, you would      ______.

A.gain a lot of power                          B.form positive personality

C.seek all human virtues                       D.fill your own needs

3.The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means      ______.

A.a feeling of emptiness                            B.an absence of one’s mind

C.a break of continuity                              D.a state of confusion

4.What can be inferred from the text?

A.Having values are better than being values.

B.A calm person does not choose to complain.

C.The way other people think of you decides who you are.

D.A responsible person does not care about financial security.
