The English and the Continentals

　　 In England everything is the other way round． On Sundays on the Continent even the poorest person puts on his best suit, tries to look respectable, and at the same time the life of the country becomes gay and cheerful; in England even the richest lord (勋爵) or motor-manufacturer dresses in some peculiar (特别的,罕见的) rags, does not shave, and the country becomes dull and sad． On the Continent there is one subject which should be avoided - the weather; in England, if you do not repeat the phrase “lovely day, isn’t it?” at least two hundred times a day, you are considered a bit dull． On the Continent people use a fork as though a fork were a shovel (铲子); in England they turn it upside down and push everything - including peas - on top of it．

　　 On the Continent almost every nation whether little or great has openly declared at one time or another that it is superior to all other nations; the English fight heroic wars to combat these dangerous ideas without ever mentioning which is really the most superior race in the world． Continental people are sensitive and touchy (易生气的); the English take everything with a sense of humor - they are only offended if you tell them that they have no sense of humor． On the Continent the population consists of a small percentage of criminals, a small percentage of honest people and the rest are a vague transition (过渡,转变) between the two; in England you find a small percentage of criminals and the rest are honest people． On the other hand, people on the Continent either tell you the truth or lie; in England they hardly ever lie, but they would not dream of telling you the truth．

　 　 Many continentals think life is a game; the English think cricket is a game．

　　　 According to a recent poll, 61 percent of America high school students have admitted to cheating on exams at least once． It can be argued such a response may not mean much． After all, most students have been faced with the temptation to peek at a neighbor’s test paper． And students can be hard on themselves in judging such behavior． However, there are other indications that high school cheating may be on the rise．

　　　 More and more states are requiring students to pass competency (能力) tests in order to receive their high school diplomas (文凭)． And many educators fear that an increase in the use of state exams will lead to a corresponding (相应的) rise in cheating． A case in point is students in New York State who faced criminal misdemeanor charges for possessing and selling advance copies of state Regents examinations．

　　　 Cheating is now considered to be a major problem in colleges and universities． Several professors say they’ve dropped the traditional term paper requirement because many students buy prewritten term papers, and they can’t track down all the cheaters anymore． Colleges and universities across the nation have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student cheating． For instance, the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland launched a campaign to stop one form of cheating． As 409 students filed out of their exam, they found all but one exit blocked． Proctors (监考人) asked each student to produce an ID card with an attached photo． Students who said they’d left theirs in the dorm or at home had a mug shot taken． The purpose of the campaign was to catch “ringers,” students who take tests for other students．　

　　　 The majority of students at the University of Maryland applauded the campaign． The campus newspaper editorial said, “Like police arresting speeders, the intent is not to catch everyone but rather to catch enough to spread the word．”

　　　 Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat． Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating - a person may feel “they don’t trust me anyway,” and be tempted to “beat the system．” Distrust can be contagious (传染的)． But, so can trust!
