Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.(291 words)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star, died on Thursday, TMZ website reported. He was 50.
There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment. "We've just learned Michael Jackson has died," TMZ said. "Michael suffered a cardiac(心脏的) arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and
paramedics
were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back," the entertainment site said. It added, "A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived."
Earlier, the Los Angeles Times said
the singer
had been rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital by fire department paramedics who found him not breathing when they arrived at the singer's home.The newspaper said paramedics performed perfectly at the scene before taking him to the UCLA Medical Center hospital. Jackson had been due to start a series of comeback concerts in London on July 13 running until March 2010. The singer, whose hits included "Thriller" and "Billie Jean," had been rehearsing in the Los Angeles area for the past two months. The shows for the 50 London concerts sold out within minutes of going on sale in March.
His lifetime record sales tally is believed to be around 750 million, which, added to the 13 Grammy Awards he received, makes him one of the most successful entertainers of all time. There were concerns about Jackson's health in recent years but the promoters of the London shows, AEG Live, said in March that Jackson had passed a 4-1/2 hour physical examination with independent doctors.

Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.
When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn‘t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.
She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be, Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks around classes to keep from getting stiff(不灵活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.

so that they could be with their families.

Jenna, a popular girl from Westwood Middle School, had graduated first in her class and was ready for new
1
in high school.
2
, high school was different. In the first week, Jenna went to tryouts(选拔赛)for cheerleaders(拉拉队队员). She was competing against very talented girls, and she knew it would be
3
for her to be selected. Two hours later, the
4
read a list of the girls for a second tryout. Her heart
5
as the list ended without her name. Feeling
6
, she walked home carrying her schoolbag full of homework.
Arriving home, she started with math. She had always been a good math student, but now she was
7
. She moved on to English and history, and was
8
to find that she didn’t have any trouble with those subjects. Feeling better, she decided not to
9
math for the time being.
The nest day Jenna went to see Mrs. Biden about being on the school
10
. Mrs. Biden wasn’t as
11
as Jenna. “I’m sorry, but we have enough
12
for the newspaper already. Come back next year and we’11 talk then.” Jenna smiled
13
and left. “Why is high school so
14
?” she sighed.
Later in
15
class, Jenna devoted herself to figuring out the problems that had given her so much
16
. By the end of class, she understood how to get them right. As she gathered her books, Jenna decided she’d continue to try to
17
at her new school. She wasn’t sure if she’d succeed, but she knew she had to
18
. High school was just as her mom had said: “You will feel like a small fish in a big pond
19
a big fish in a small pond. The challenge is to become the
20
fish you can be.”

Have you ever simply wanted to give without expecting anything in return? It’s
1
to do. Most look for a reward in some way. I know I did, most of the time, but then a TV program of “Oprah” inspired me. She gave everyone in the audience $1,000 to spend on a complete
2
,accompanied by a video camera to
3
what they did with the money.
Two sisters from Georgia
4
from the crowd in my mind---they put their money together to give to “My sister’s House”, a
5
that helps battered(受虐的) women and children. Not only did they
6
their money, but they told everyone in their town about the organization. It was amazing that people were crazy to ring and
7
money, baby clothing, and more.
This story made me realize how often I expect things from others and how
8
I give things in return. I don’t have a thousand dollars to spend on a stranger, but I do have a heart that is full of love and generosity. I now hold doors open for others and
9
at people I don’t know, because a smile is contagious(有感染力的) and I try to bring as much happiness as I can into others’ lives. It’s difficult, but I feel it is really
