I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I  was 36  the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final   37 . During the test，the girl 38  next to me whispered something，but I didn’t understand. So I leaned(倾斜) over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me  39 I had an extra pen. She showed me that  40  was out of ink and would not write．I happened to have an extra one，so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk．

Later, after the test papers had been  41 the teacher asked me to  42 in the room when all the other students  43  . As soon as we were alone, she began to talk to me about  44 it meant to grow up；she mentioned how important it was to stand  45  your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about __46 _and emphasized the fact   that when people do something dishonest，they really  47 themselves．She made me promise that I would think  48  about all the things she had said. Then she told me I could   49 . I walked out of the room wondering   40  she had chosen to talk to me about all those things．

Later on，I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the gir1 next to me, it looked  51 I was copying answers  52  the girl’s test paper. So I came to find her and tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t   53  anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test.  54  I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor   55  letting her use my pen, I was sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test．

The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide five dollars? I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. Knight will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.

Hey there,

So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of dollars of your parents’ money, and all  you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?

*Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other.

College is also a lot of fun—after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years.

And remember that college graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.

*Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.

*Researching Schools. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.

*Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com., you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications and links to many more.

*Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most important parts of the admission course. It’s not the most important, though, and everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you can do better, find the right course for better scores.

*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.

Honesty comes in many forms. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not. I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it. “Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else. ” Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that

In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off. At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that any more, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.

It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength.

A．Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.

B．Be your true self rather than follow others.

C．Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.

D．Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.

3.What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?

A．Honesty can be of great help.

B．A bad thing can be turned into a good one.

C．One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.

D．Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.

4.In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express________.

Everybody worries. Grown-ups do it and kids do it, too. But what should you do about it? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these steps:

Figure it out.

1 That can make it tough to find out what the problem is or to pick one part of the problem to try to solve. But being able to focus on your problem—or at least part of it—is the first step to taking action.    2 Think of ways to make it better.

There is almost always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it probably won’t solve your problem. 3 If your worry is about a fight you had with your friend, you might write down all the actions you could take—from writing the friend a note to inviting him or her over for a game of basketball. Once you have a list of possible actions, you can select the one that you think is most likely to get your friendship back on track.4

Worrying can make you feel lonely. When you are worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. Sometimes people say, “Why should I bother? They can’t do anything about it.” But here is the reason to give it a try anyway: 5 Just the act of telling someone what’s bothering you can make you feel a little better.

A．Ask for help.

B．Divide your problems into parts.

C．Worrying too much is bad for your health.

D．Some problems are big and have a lot of parts.

E. Switching to immediate action can help you feel more hopeful.

F. If you are having trouble figuring out what worries you, get to the last step.

G. You don’t know that no one can help until you share your feelings and let someone try to help.
