Like most other US college students, Eric Rogers knows that submitting a term paper taken off the Internet is plagiarism（抄袭）and cause for suspension（停学）or a failing grade．

  What about using a paragraph? “Just a paragraph,” he said．“Taking a paragraph and changing words．I’ve done that before; it wasn’t a big deal,” he decided finally．“As long as I can change it into my words, change a few, it’s not cheating．”

    Under the honor code he signed when he entered Duke University last year, it is．But for many college students, the once-clear lines that explain cheating have faded．Some colleges and universities have made use of sophisticated （精良的）search engines to ferret out cheats．But an increasing number are turning to something decidedly more low-tech: their honor codes．Some campuses are adopting codes for the first time．Others, among them Duke, admitting that their codes have existed mostly in name only, are rewriting and forcing them to buy．

    Cheating has become so common, experts say, that it often goes unreported and unpunished．Surveys show not only that there is more cheating these days but also that students and teachers alike have become more accepting of some practices once considered out of limits．One such survey was performed for the Centre for Academic Integrity, an organization based at Duke that helps create honor codes．In that survey, 27 percent of students questioned during the 2001—2002 academic year said that falsifying （伪造）laboratory data happened “often or very often” on campus．

    The new honor codes aim to punish more while also forcing students and faculty members to think about the kinds of offenses that are cheating．At large universities and small liberal art colleges alike, educators talk about restoring a “culture of honor”．

    “It’s a psychological effect: if people expect you to be honorable, you are more likely to respond with honorable behavior,” said Nannerl O．Keohane, the president of Duke．

    At Duke, a new “community standard” for academic honesty will take effect next fall．

    Under it, the staff will no longer have to proctor exams, but students will face punishment if they see cheating and do not report it．Factually members will have greater power to discipline first-time cheats, authority that the university hopes will encourage them to face offenders．

Do you know that a Mom deserves a special gift this year for Mother’s Day? Sure, flowers can always brighten Mother’s day and a dinner out is always appreciated. However, doesn’t she deserve something more personal or something that lasts longer than an evening?
I’m talking about the gift of fitness. Improved fitness is a gift that is invaluable to everyone. When you give a woman the gift of fitness, you are helping her open a door to better health. I can’t think of a more thoughtful gift that shows the recipient(接受者) how much you care about their well-being. By giving the gift of fitness you are providing them with unlimited health benefits. And, its a gift that you can truly feel proud to give.
Of course, we all know that exercising can help people stay slim and fit. But, do you also know about all the other great benefits of exercising? Daily physical activity reduces stress and can help you sleep better. Fitness has been linked to reducing the risk of some diseases and to warding off depression. Researchers also believe that strength training can help prevent osteoporosis(骨质疏松). Not to mention that exercising also improves self-esteem, increases energy and helps you be able to do continuous work for longer.
All Moms would find these fitness benefits extremely invaluable. If they are like most of us, they have probably even mentioned how they would like to drop a few pounds or just get in better shape. In fact, experts say that about 62% of Americans are currently on a diet. By giving the gift of fitness you are helping provide your mom with extra motivation. She may be more motivated to actually get fit because she doesn’t want to feel guilty about ignoring such a thoughtful gift .
