Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

He was already asleep.His bag stood ready by the backdoor.His pencil box was filled with freshly sharpened (削尖的) pencils.A big day lay ahead.My eyes filled with tears (泪水) as I thought about his new journey in the morning.My baby was off to high school.

I thought back to his first day of kindergarten (幼儿园)．How he ran in excitement to the bus as my heart broke，how his smiling face in the window caused my tears to flow.I thought about how hard it was to let go of his hand and let him fly on his own for the first time.But this time，I found it was even harder.

Kindergarten is paper and glue sticks.High school is computer projects and technology you don't understand.Kindergarten is Mother's Day gifts made with handprints.High school is a funny card and a “Love you，Ma.” Kindergarten is emails to the teacher about his difficulty with math.High school is depending on him to ask for help in class.Kindergarten is afternoons at the park.High school is keys to the car.Kindergarten is exciting talk about his day.High school is just “My day was fine，Ma.”

Kindergarten is the beginning.High school is the beginning of the end. You know that your time with him at home will become less and less.The moments where your family will always feel complete at the end of the day are coming to an end.I've raised him to leave us.I've raised him to be independent (独立的)，and I'm watching him pull away，one day at a time.

As I watched him board the bus to high school，my eyes filled with tears again and my heart ached more deeply than it did on his first day of kindergarten.The bus pulled away，and my eyes met his.He gave a quick wave (挥手) and mouthed，“Love you.” And then he made a silly face，and he wanted his mom to go back into the house now and set her mind at rest.I waved back and laughed.High school，here we come.

B

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 the true winners of a game were.

Many people like the action of cheating.In their opinion，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 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 shouldn't get 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 the day 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 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 together.Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
