　　Students at Harvard this term have been doing something for the first time in the university’s long history. They promise not to cheat, or more specifically, to sign up to an honor code in which they promise to stick to values of academic integrity (學(xué)術(shù)誠信). It means students at the well-known US university have to promise not to cheat in exams.

　　Brett Flehinger, a professor at Harvard, says students now write their own “personal response” to the honor code before starting term, repeat their promise when registering and then again before taking exams.

　　Harvard’s adoption of an honor code follows a widely-known cheating event in 2012. On one exam paper, more than a hundred students were investigated and about 70 later faced punishment.

　　An annual survey was conducted by the student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson. The survey, based on a sample of more than 70% of new students, also asked about cheating. It found 9% admitted to having cheated in an exam. There were others who had cheated in homework, academic work and other assignments.

　　So will students be stopped from cheating by a promise?

　　A study published in October by the US National Bureau of Economic Research found “strong evidence” of cheating from at least 10% of students. “It is not surprising that students cheat—they have enough reasons to do so, and the likelihood of getting caught is low,” concluded the study. “What is perhaps more surprising, is that so little effort is devoted to catching cheating students.”

　　Would an honor code make a difference?

　　Sir Cary Cooper, a professor at Manchester Business School, says, “I don’t think it actually stops the cheating that much. A university will have it because it gives specific moral guidance about what is incorrect behavior.”

　　32. What’s the main purpose of Harvard’s honor code?

　　A. To spread knowledge.

　　B. To prevent students cheating in exams.

　　C. To punish students cheating in exams.

　　D. To introduce results of failing in the exams.

　　33. What made Harvard’s honor code appear?

　　A. The survey by the Harvard Crimson.

　　B. A lot of Harvard s students’ suggestions,

　　C. The influence from the other US universities.

　　D. A number of Harvard’s students, cheating in exams.

　　34. What do we know about the new students of Harvard?

　　A. Nobody admitted having cheated in exams.

　　B. Some of them cheated in academic work.

　　C. All of them cheated on homework.

　　D. They didn’t cheat in exams.

　　35. What may be the best title for the text?

　　A. Students at Harvard are learning to behave honestly in exams

　　B. Harvard is working on the exam paper about cheating

　　C. Harvard forces students to follow the honor code

　　D. Students at Harvard are tired of cheating in exams

　　Language learning beyond words

　　Did you know that about 55% of communication is nonverbal? 36 I find that the key to a successful conversation in a foreign language (in any language I should say) is to speak to people not only in their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.

　　37 “Personal space” is very important to us. In a formal context we would often greet each other with a handshake. Informally, but less frequently, my British friends and I would greet with a hug. 38 Here in the south of Italy, and in many different parts of the world, people of both sexes greet with two kisses on the cheek, use a lot of hand gestures and are very tactile. 39

　　Having studied Italian at university, I have learnt to successfully communicate in spoken Italian and living in Vibo Valentia I have started picking up the locals’ body language, 40 However, what I do know for sure is that keeping my personal space intact would be denying myself the opportunity to appreciate Italian body language and fully immerse myself in the culture,

　　A. I just figure out how to find the real meaning.

　　B. But hardly ever would we greet with a kiss on the cheek.

　　C. In fact, our bodies are actually saying more than our words.

　　D. In other words, little personal space is left between people when interacting.

　　E. Britain, along with much of Northern Europe, is classed as a “non-contact” culture.

　　F. Sometimes. I find myself not knowing what hand gestures to use when expressing myself.

　　G. If one person can not understand body language, he can not communicate with foreigners smoothly.

　　Dear Jack,

　　I’m sorry to hear that your father is addicted to drinking. I can understand how you feel. It must be a big problem for your family, and t may disturb your daily life. As his son, it’s normal for you to give him your concern. However, you shouldn’t become upset about it Certainly, you should try your best in your spare time to help him get rid of drinking little by little. Meanwhile, you can ask some doctors and experts for more professional help. Making some rules for him to follow is another way you can try.

　　We know quitting drinking is very difficult, so you should give him time and care. I wish your father could give up drinking with your help and become healthier and happier.

　　Best wishes. I’m looking forward to your reply.

　　Yours,
