It’s very common for students to cheat in the exams. This year, our country has passed a law that fights against this kind of law-broken behavior. It’s reported that some students carry some important information or notes into the exam-room. Some students copy others’ answers. What’s more, others use electronic products, such as mobile phones, micro-earphones to pass on the answers.
There are many reasons for students to cheat in the exam. Some students are too lazy to work hard most of time. They want to get good grades in order to enter a good high school or a good university. Some students have too much pressure from their parents and teachers. They only want to make them happy.
In my opinion, it’s dishonest of the students to cheat in the exams, and it’s unfair for other students. In order to create a fair competing environment, we should say NO to the exam-cheating.

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average, and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class. What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students became to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could. Do you know? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, ―Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success, and you’ll help make him the best he can be.‖
Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, ―Johnny, you’re the naughtiest(最调皮的) boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.‖ The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she met with Johnny after school and said, ―Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.‖ And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest
students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader, because that’s the power of our belief and attitude towards children. 51. The professor started his research by________.
A. telling the five students to work harder than ever before B. teaching the five children himself
C. telling the teachers that the five students were the best in the class D. asking the five children to find a new teacher
52. The five average students became top students mainly because of_________. A. the professor’s study B. the change in the professor’s attitude C. the teachers’ hard work D. the change in the teachers’ attitude 53. Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny? A. To show the importance of encouragement B. To show that the boy was clever enough C. To let us know the famous boy
D. To let us know how good his new teacher was
54. According to the story, we can learn that________. A. the research began at the end of the school year
B. the students scored highest only because they worked hard C. if you expect the most from people, you’ll get the least D. little Johnny liked his new teacher very much 55. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. If you want to get more, you should have new teachers B. Attitude and belief can change a person
C. A professor’s study can help you score highest D. Only teachers can make you a top student
C
