I felt very sad because I was not able to get the ticket to the film Hero last Friday. I learned from the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 a. m. and 4:00 p. m. Since I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. , the only time I could go to the cinema is during my 45 minutes’ lunchtime. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town and the bus service between my company and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.
Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come round the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets.

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Some people like the action of cheating mainly because it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the knowledge（知识）and it won’t help on the next test---unless the person cheats again.
People lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teachers and parents so they can find some solutions （解决方法）together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
11. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class ________.
A. it is unfair to other people B. it does harm to their health
C. teachers should laugh at them D. teachers shouldn't stop them at once
12. The underlined word “unless” may mean ________ in Chinese.
A. 直到 B. 除非 C. 万一 D. 以便
13. Some people like cheating mainly because ________.
A. the knowledge in the test is very difficult B. they want to do better than the others
C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy D. they have little time to study their lessons
14. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. cheating is popular among students B. why kids cheat in the test
C. some kids can't pass the test without cheating D. some kids don't spend the time studying
15. In the passage those cheaters are advised to ________.
A. spend more time on school than on sports B. find good solutions instead of cheating
C. try hard to become clever D. ask their classmates for help

“But who are you ” asked Sadness.
“Me I’m Hope.” said the girl with a smile.
