Li, from the Un iversity of Maryla nd in College Park, worked on the new study connecting the dots betwee n polluti on and rain fall.The scie ntists wan ted to know how aerosols in the air affect cloud developme nt over many

49、t all about the midterm exam. He knows he needs to bring his grades up, and getting a zero will make it nearly impossible. He quicklyjotsdown some notes and shoves them under his lap hoping it willhelp him pass. Cheati ng is a major concern in all academic environmen ts. Stude nts are creating new a

50、nd more outrageous令人吃惊的 ways of cheating every day; some claimthat certain accounts of cheating can be justified, but overall it can always be preve nted.Cheating has been around forever, and millions of ways to cheat have been fashioned.Copy ing homework and cheat sheets are some of the most basic

51、ways stude nts in all education levels have cheated. Somestudents think nothing about writing a few answers on their hand, in a gum wrapper, or boldly using a study guide to cheat. Desperatestude nts have even gone as far as to steal the test or sca n in bottle wrappersand putan swers into the nu tr

52、iti on label. The in ternet has now become available in almost every locatio n. Computers can be accessed at school, at home, and now even on cell phon es.This ope ns a doorway for even more methods of cheati ng to be born.There are countless opinions on whether or not cheating can be justified. The

53、 truth is this behavior will always be a matter of opinion with each seen ario of cheati ng.Stude nts ofte n rati on alize their cheat ing by clai ming they forgot to look over thematerial or did not understand what the teacher or professor was saying. Somemay counter these arguments by saying that

54、the student could have set reminders or asked the teacher to explain the material before the day of the test. Someother reasons students believecheati ng is justified are their heavy workloads and trying to findtime for school,sports, frien ds, and family. This may be true in certa in in sta nces, h

55、owever, all stude nts have these problems, and it is un fair to the stude nts refrain制止fromcheat ing whe n the stude nt who is dish on est receives a better grade. The majority of stude nts who thi nk cheat ing is acceptable may believe the reas on for this is that sometimes stude nts are un aware t

56、hey are cheat ing, there is not eno ugh time give n for assig nmen ts, or that the in formati on is too much for the course.It may be difficult to accomplish, but cheati ng can be preve nted. Teachers andprofessors have triedmany opti ons to stop cheati ng.These opti ons can range any wherefrom simp

57、ly spreading test-takers out in a room, to expelling马驱逐a student, whichwill most likely hinder their plans of getting into another college. One simple way to fix the problem is to scold the student when caught. They may be so scared or embarrassed that they never do it again. This is a risky way to

58、prevent cheating in some cases, however, because it can possibly damage self-esteem. Ano ther simple wayto avoid cheating is to create many different kinds of the same test. This prohibits 阻 止students from getting the answers off of a neighbor's test, but students still have the opti on of using other cheati ng tactics.There may be a milli on ways to cheat and get away with it, but there are few times,if any, that it is
