  Cheating is common in various kinds of exams in college.Students don't feel shameful to cheat in exams.They know that if caught cheating in an exam, the punishment will not be serious.This leads to frequent cheating in exams.

  At the University of Nevada, after students photographed test questions with their cell-phone cameras, transmitted them to classmates outside the exam room and got the answers back in text messages, the university put in place a new monitoring system.

  With their electronic tools, students these days find it easier to cheat.So college officials find themselves in a new game of cat and mouse, trying to gain an advantage over would-be cheats this exam season with a range of strategies-cutting off Internet access from laptops, or demanding the surrender of cellphones before tests.

  Mr.Dapremont said technology had made cheating easier, but added that plagiarism in writing papers was probably a bigger problem because students can easily lift other people's writings off the Internet.

  Still, some students said they thought cheating these days was more a product of an attitude, not the tool at hand.Pressure to succeed sometimes clouds everything and makes people do things that they shouldn't do.Students today feel more pressure to do well in order to graduate from school and secure a job.

  Whatever the reasons for cheating, college officials say the battle against it is wearing them out.First, people who cheat in exams will lose interest in studying.Second, they believe studying isn't meaningful.Even though they don't do anything, they can still pass.Third, people who cheat in exams will influence others.Plenty of hard working people will see that their results are lower than people who cheat in exams.Thus, we must prevent cheating in exams.We reduce the opportunities for cheating in exams.

  The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character.For that reason, there are numerous watchdog committees at all level of society.Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could that because we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty?

  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.But, so can trust.
