Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes（极端）to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics（数据）.Last year a reporter had been requested by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president’s palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began:“Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president’s palace.”The editor at once sent the reporter a fax（传真）asking him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
The reporter immediately set out to do as he was asked to, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the reporter two more faxes, but received no reply. He sent yet another fax telling the reporter that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the reporter again failed to reply, the editor had to publish the article as it had been originally（原始）written. A week later, the editor at last received a fax from the reporter. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax in which he told the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1,084 steps leading to the fifteen-foot wall which surrounded the president’s palace.

Last week’s topic: What’s your opinion about cheating in exams?
Willson822（Fujian）:An oath isn’t enough to prevent anyone from cheating. Who can tell that they won’t promise something that goes against their will? So I think the penalty（处罚）is more important. Penalties should be serious enough to prevent people from breaking the oath!
Wang Changling（Anhui）:The oath itself makes all test-takers think that others may consider them would-be cheaters, which can hurt their feelings. In my opinion, prevention is better than a penalty. Educators should set good examples for students to follow and be role models for them. Even if a few educators continue to copy other people’s work and their research papers, surely, students will follow suit.
Anonymous: I support the school’s action against cheating. Although the oath isn’t a duty, it can warn the would-be cheater.
Cathy Cheng: I find it’s hard to refuse a friend who wants help in exams. And I think the rule of Maryland University gives the students like me a good excuse to refuse.
Zzq8301: I think this is a promising step toward what we’re talking about when we say ‘fair play’ these days. Cheaters should be stopped because they make it different for the honest to succeed.
Freda（Tianjin）: I was told by my foreign teacher to write down the oath on the back of my test paper in the same way that was described in the article. It’s a rule everyone should obey in a fair game. Whether this method succeeds or fails is up to you. What I want to say is to be true to yourself.
17．It is clear that the people above are talking about the rule made by .
A．Maryland University B．the Education Department
C．some colleges D．the government
18．How many people are in fact for the rules?
A．Three B．Two C．Four D．Five
19．Who thinks teachers should set an example?
A．Willson822 B．Freda C．Cathy Cheng D．Wang Changling
20．The underlined word“oath”may have the same meaning as .
A．idea B．promise C．plan D．opinion
