                   Honesty of American students 

     When I first arrived in America,I was surprised by the honesty of my classmates. Over my first month at school,I didn't see or hear anyone cheating. I found two reasons for this.

     First,if any student cheats,he or she will get punished. My school has a rule called the Honor Code. It asks students not to steal,lie or cheat. If someone goes against the code,he or she will have to leave the school. During my first year in the school,seven students left the school because of cheating.

     Second,American students don't care about scores as much as Chinese students do. They know that colleges will look at their all-round abilities instead of only scores. So they have fewer reasons to cheat.

21. The writer didn't see or hear anyone cheating when she first arrived in America,did she?

22. What is the Honor Code about?

23. What will happen if students go against the code?

24. Who does the writer think care more about scores,American students or Chinese students?

25. Do American colleges think all-round abilities are important for students?

      People in southern China like famous and expensive dish—shark fin soup,but no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health. So why do they eat them? Do they realize that they're killing a whole shark each time they enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?

      When people catch sharks,they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean. This is not only cruel,but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin,a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean's ecosystem. If iheir numbers drop too low,it will bring danger to all ocean life. In fact,around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90  percent in the last 20 to 30 years. Help save the sharks!
