The Man Who Could Turn Back the Clock Adapted from a story by Ralph Milne Farley Once upon a time, there was a man who had the power to turn back the clock. Whenever he regretted something he had done or said, he could repeat the event in the light of the experience. Now, one day, it happened that this man was out for a walk when it started to rain, so he took shelter in a barn. After a few minutes the man was joined by a very beautiful young lady and her dog, who were also seeking shelter. The downpour lasted about an hour. The man went home to his wife and told her why he was late. Immediately, her wife was suspicious of her husband’s behaviour with the young lady. She questioned him about what had happened. The man replied in surprised and hurt voice: “Why? Nothing happened. I was a perfect gentleman. What do you expect? Especially when she had such a large dog with her.” His wife was furious: “what? Only the dog stopped you?” The man realized his mistake and immediately he turned the clock back a few minutes and tried the conversation again. This time when his wife expressed her suspicion, he said “it’s true the girl was very beautiful and she seemed to like me. But my deep love for you gave me strength to resist temptation.” However, his wife was even more furious: “what? You wanted to kiss her? An immoral thought is a bad as an immoral deed.’ The man spent long time thinking. There must be some way to please his wife! Finally he turned the clock back again a few minutes. Once more his wife asked how he had behaved with the young lady. But this time he replied: “What? She wasn’t beautiful, She was ugly! I am a man with a good taste, which is why I married you, my darling!” When she heard this, his wife, who in fact was rather unattractive, flung her arms around his neck and cried, “I love you.”

TEXT 3

Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers nowadays. Despite the fact that teachers advise their students not  to do dishonest acts during tests, some students still do cheating. There are many kinds of cheating that students do during the test or examination, such as looking other students’ work, put some notes under their clothes, write notes or formulas on their desks, make hand signals or go to rest rooms to get the answers from their friends. In my view, students who do cheating are committing a crime. It is a sort of taking something illegally. This crime causes negative results to the students. Students who always cheat deteriorate their mental capacity. Cheating acts also create dependence. They weaken their self confidence. Instead of preparing for the coming test, they are busy to organize notes on a piece of paper. If this awful habit continues, the students will lose their opportunity to develop their intellectual and mind. Therefore, school should consider cheating as a very serious problem. School board and administration should go hand to overcome this matter. Honesty must be put in school’s vision. Harsh punishment must be applied to students who commit this crime.
