Honesty of American students
When I first arrived in America,I was surprised by the honesty of my classmates.Over my first month at school,I didn’t see or hear anyone cheating.I found two reasons for this.
First,if any student cheats,he or she will get punished.My school has a rule called the Honor Code.It asks students not to steal,lie or cheat.If someone goes against the code,he or she will have to leave the school.During my first year in the school,seven students left the school because of cheating.
Second,American students don’t care about scores as much as Chinese students do.They know that colleges will look at their all-round abilities instead of only scores.So they have fewer reasons to cheat.The writer didn’t see or hear anyone cheating when she first arrived in America, did she?
What is the Honor Code about?
What will happen if students go against the code?
Who does the writer think care more about scores, American students or Chinese students?
Do American colleges think all-round abilities are important for students?

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
D
I’ve been working in a school for more than twenty years .Many parents often ask me ,“How can you teach your child good study skills ? How can he or she get the homework done as quickly as possible ? ”Here are some tips :
1.If the child is as young as nine or ten ,ask him or her to prepare a small notebook to write down the homework given by his or her teachers .By developing this habit ,he or she will learn to be much more responsible (负责的).
2.Find a good place to study .This should be a quiet place that is free from everything but study things .No games ,radios ,or televisions .Once you have decided on a place to study ,this should be the only place where your child does his or her homework and studies .There should also be a very specific time for homework to be done .Usually ,homework should be done as soon as the child gets home from school .This also goes for the kids who take part in afterschool activities .Of course ,it is a good idea to allow the child to have a healthy snack before the work begins .
3.Also remember that it is the child’s duty to do his or her homework .Some children give up easily and go to Mom and Dad for help when they have a problem .Try to let them solve it first .By doing this ,they will get a sense of success from overcoming problems .In this way we help them to help themselves .Asking the kids to keep a notebook to remember their homework will make them________.
A.remember more |
B.learn more |
C.more responsible |
D.more interested in studying |
