Many kids feel tempted to cheat once in a while.Most resist and do the work instead.

Some kds cheat∞∞and feel SO bad that they never do it again.Others get caught and decide it isn’t worth it.Unfortunately.some ldds start cheating and feel like they can’t stop.

Kids who cheat may feel worried about getting caught.Whether they are caught or not，these kids may feel guilty,or embarrassed，or ashamed--or all three.Even if the cheater feels fine or doesn’t get caught，that doesn’t mean it’S OK.If you see someone cheatin9，or if someone asks to copy your work，you can tell a teacher Or another grown-up.

If a kid gets caught cheatin9，the teacher may give the kid a”zer0”score on the test，send him or her to the principal‘S office，and contact his Or her parents.Worse than the bad grade may be the feeling of having disappointed other people，like parents and teachers.A parent may worry that you are not an honest person and a teacher might watch you more closely the next time you’re taking a test.

Karen McCalley,an English teacher in New York says，”It is always disappointing when students cheat because it makes me think the student docsn’t believe in himself.I expect students to do their very best and I am sad when they don’t put their best foot forward.

‘'Cheaters cheat themselves in a way because they don’t make an honest attempt to learn as much as they Can.For instance，if you cheat your way through spelling tests，you won’t learn how to spell.That Can katch—I mean catch--up with you when you get older!And adults who cheat—at work，sports，or in their relationships--get into serious trouble，far more serious than a bad grade on a spelling test'’.

Throughout this lon9，tense election，everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’11 change America.However,1’m more fascinated by MicheHe Obama and what she might be able to d0，not just for this country,but for me as all African-American woman.

As the potential First Lady,she would have the world’S attention.And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to learn more about the type of African-American woman.

Usually，the fives of black women go largely unexamined.The common befief sums to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers.Even in the world of films，black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being discriminated females raised by oRr never-married，alcohofic(酗酒的)mothers.

These images have helped define the way all women are viewed，including Michelle

Obama.Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause，charity or foundation as First

Lady,her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.

It won’t be easy.Because few mainstream media have made reports on regular

African•American women，tittle is known about who we ale，what we think and what we face on a regular basis.For better or worse，Micbelle will represent US all.

Just as she will have her critics，she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady.Many African—American blogs have written about what mey’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House--mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family.Michelle will have to work to please everyone一an impossible task.But for many African-American women like me.just a little of her

confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that，S been around for too long.

66.Which of the following is TRUE of Michelle Obarna according to the text?

B.How Miehelle should behave as the First Lady.

C.How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House.

What we’re going to s∞in the future is new opportunities for people to be plugged in and connected like never before，”says Scott Campbell.”It Can be a good thin9.But I also see new ways the traditional social fabric(社会结构)is getting somewhat torn apart.”

Our days are filled with beeps and pings•—-——many of which pull US away from tasks at hand or face-to-face conversations.We may feel that the distractions are too much.but we Can•t seem to stop postin9，texting or surfin9.

We're going through a period of adjustment and rebalancin9，”says Sherry Turkle and she wants to remind people that technology Can be turned off.
