As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinatio
64、ns, which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and dont work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers. In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks
65、 the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. Whats more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.1. M: Would it be ok to look at your spare room now?W: Would you come here in 2

78、t of the complete London underground railway. The new Victoria Line was opened in 1969. This new line was very different from others. The stations on the other lines need a lot of workers to sell tickets, and to check and collect them when people leave the trains. This is all different on the Victor
79、ia Line. Here a machine checks and collects the tickets, and there are no workers on the platforms. On the train, there is only one worker. If necessary, this man can drive the train. But usually he just starts it; it runs and stops by itself. The trains are controlled by electrical signals. The tra
80、in always moves at the speed that the computer allows. It the computer send no signals, the train will stop. Other machines make sure that the trains are always at a safe distance. One train may stay too long at a station; the other trains will then move slowr. So there is no danger of accidents on the line.
