One day the Prince wanted to go hunting with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look af- ter his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle, which was like a small bed. When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws on the Prince's chest. Then the Prince saw the blood on Gelert's jaws and head.“ What have you done?” the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.“ So you have killed my son?” the Prince said angrily.“ You unfaithful dog!” He took out his sword and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog. The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt. Near him was a dead wolf.

After the teacher handed out the exam papers, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam was over. “ That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of morality(道德). We wanted to show the students how important honesty(诚实) is,” said Cai Wenguo, the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating(作弊) happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80% of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas. “I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted(信任) me,” said Lang Yudan, a 15- year- old girl in Class 11. “ Schools must trust students a lot and do not use invigilators (监考人) in exams, But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when they need.” said Hua Nan. “I don't like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed.” Liu Qingxi said. “I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them.” Shang Yuan said. No- teacher exams may be a good idea. But before using them, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams. 回答下列问题。 1. Why did No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang hold a no- teacher exam? 2. How many students with disagreement are mentioned in this passage? 3. What does Hua Nan think about no- teacher exams? 4. What does the underlined word“ them” in the sentence refer to(指代)? 5. Translate the sentence“ Schools must trust students a lot and do not use invigilators in exams.” into Chinese. 7、 补全对话（10分） A: Good morning, Tony. B: Hi, Amy. 1 ?
