Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material(材料) and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance（平衡） swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
16.The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _______.
A. it is unfair to other people B. it does harm to their heath
C. teachers should punish them D. teachers shouldn’t stop them at once
17. Some students like cheating mainly because_________.
7
A. the material in the test is very difficult B. they want to do better than the others
C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy D. they have little time to study their lessons
18. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.
A. cheating isn’t a good idea B. why kids cheat in the test
C. some kids can’t pass the test without cheating D. some kids don’t spend the time studying
19. We can learn from the passage______.
A. cheaters are often thought highly of B. people show no respect for those who cheat
C. parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble D. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice
20. In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.
A. spend more time on school than on sports B. find good solutions instead of cheating
C. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy D. ask their classmates for good methods of study

One of the most terrible weather is the tornado (龙卷风). You can never know a tornado is coming so it brings great fear in many areas. Tornadoes are one of nature’s most damaging storms, but ______________. A tornado continues only five to thirty minutes, but the places they travel to are often destroyed.
The strong winds of a tornado can tear just almost anything off of the ground including trees, vehicles and even houses. Another damaging part of tornadoes is actually from the pieces that the storm picks up. It is not only the wind that causes damage in a tornado, but also the lightning that the storm produces. It can cause fires and electrical problems. But what should we do during a tornado?
During bad weather, leave a radio on. It’s inexpensive and could save your life. If you hear the announcer say there is a tornado warning that means the conditions are

correct for the form of a tornado. A tornado warning means a tornado has been sighted.
If you find yourself in danger, find something that provides cover or protection in the lowest possible place, such as a basement (地下室). If your home does not have a basement, go to the lowest and safest place in your home. Stay clear of windows or anything heavy like furniture. Take your radio with you and turn it on. Kneel on the floor and cover your head with your hands. This is the best position to be in to avoid damage during a tornado.
