After Christine Pelton discovered that 28 of her 118 students had plagiarized parts of a major project, she gave them failing grades.(16)Although this was the school policy, the students’ parents complained. The schoolboard directed Ms. Pelton to change the punishment: They told her that 600 points should be taken from the offenders, rather than the entire 1,800 points. (17) Ms. Pelton resigned in protest.Although the incident may soon be forgotten, it raised some important questions: What is plagiarism? How serious is it? The simplest form of plagiarism occurs when someone copies material without giving credit to the source.Some people claim that copying is necessary to do well in school. They have realized that their own words are not as good as someone else’s. (18) Another common argument is that everyone does it, so it’s not a big deal. In fact, it has been learned that even some highly respected figures, including Martin Luther King, Jr., have plagiarized.(19) Although some people find reasons to justify plagiarism, others feel the issue is clear-cut: They feel it is morally wrong, and consider it stealing --- a theft of ideas rather than money. These people believe that students who plagiarize benefit unfairly. They receive a better grade than they deserve.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.

The sky was clear, the sun was shining and it was a perfect day for surfing.The 13-year-old surfing star was lying on her surfboard about 300 metres from the beach. She was waiting for the next big wave, and her arms were hanging in the clear, bluewater. (20)Suddenly a five-metre tiger shark bit her left arm and shook her backwards and forwards. Bethany held onto her board and the shark eventually swam away --- but it took her arm with it. Luckily it attacked only once. It happened so fast that Bethany didn’t even scream.(21)Bethany was one of the best teenage surfers in the world, and was planning to become a professional surfer. Her friends didn’t see the attack, and as Bethany started swimming back to the beach with one arm, they thought at first that she was joking. Then they saw the blood and quickly came to help.(22)The really incredible thing about Bethany is that only ten weeks later she was surfing again in a competition. Less than a year after the accident she won first place in a surfing competition in Hawaii.

But sharing your feelings helps you feel better and also helps you to get closer to people who are important to you.Before you can share them with anyone, you have to understand what feelings you have. Making a list of your feelings can help. You can do this in your head or by writing it out on a piece of paper. It’s sometimes difficult to define a feeling and its cause. In this case, it might help to remember how you felt on a specific occasion, for example, "I was upset when my friends went to the cinema without me."Keeping your feelings to yourself can make you feel worse. (24) If you talk to someone who cares for you, like your parents, you will almost always start to feel better. Itdoesn’t mean your problems will magically disappear, but at least someone else knows what the problem is an d can help you find solutions. If you don’t want to talk to your parents, then try talking to a relative or a counsellor at school. Maybe they can help you find a way to talk to your parents about your problems. Once you know who you can talk to, choose a time and place to talk. (25) If you think you’ll have trouble saying what you’re thinking, write it down on a piece of paper.If the person doesn’t understand what you mean, try giving an example of what’s concerning you.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23.

When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.There is a fundamental, powerful, and universal need or desire among humans to interact with others. As 26 by Afifi and Guerrero: “There is a long history o f research establishing the importance that individuals 27 connectedness…, individuals’ needs for beginning, 28 and maintaining social ties, especially close ones, is reflected in a series of studies and a host of theories.” The mere presence of another has been shown to be arousing and motivating and this 29 influences our behavior. We behave differently in the 30 of another person from when alone. When we meet others we are “onstage” and so give a 31 that differs from how we behave “offstage”. We also enjoy interacting, and indeed the act of engaging in interpersonal communication has been shown to 32 positive changes in emotional state. If we are unable to engage meaningfully with others, the result is often loneliness, unhappiness and 33 .
