“Keep your eyes on your own paper” is one of the rules that Mrs Archer taught us.
It is a simple rule, but not everybody (1)c to follow it.
This morning, I had an experience with a “rule breaker” during an English (2)t. I felt somebody was watching me a little too closely. I turned my head quickly and saw James, who sat right behind me. He is a (3)h boy who can always make me laugh when I am sad. My eyes caught his and he said in a low voice, “I hope you have prepared for the test well!” I gave him a smile and (4)n my head. This time, I leaned(倾斜) a little more closely towards my paper.
“I can’t see!” James said.
“What am I going to do?” I couldn’t (5)u why he asked me to do so. Cheating(作弊) was not right.
I thought to myself, “He’s your friend, and what are friends for?” But then another (6)t came to my mind, “You know it’s wrong.” I knocked on my desk softly, hoping for a way out of this matter. No easy answer came. Then I thought of Mrs Archer, who always encourages us to do something (7)c. So I didn’t let James copy my answers. Instead, I (8)c my paper with my arms.
When the test ended, I stood there for a moment, looking at James’s (9)u face, searching for the right words to say. “Sorry, James, but I think you know how I feel about cheating,” I said slowly and softly. “But maybe I could help you study before the next test.” “OK, Brian,” he smiled. “It might not be easy, but I will give it a try.”
I felt happy that our (10)f wasn’t destroyed(破坏).
