One day in the eighth grade, I was taking a Math Test trigonometry (三角学) . Now for a middle school student, there was nothing easy about it. So I had studied for about two hours the night before. After reviewing it for some time, I had started to understand it, so then I closed the book and _________. However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep. The next day, when I got the test, I tried my best to work out the hard problems, but the numbers I came up with were strange. I sat back on my chair and looked for any possible answers, but I could not remember anything or think correctly. I started thinking about my dad coming home from work to find that I failed the test.
“How could you have failed the test? I am sure that nobody else in the whole class got as bad a grade as you did!”
Naturally I didn’t want that to happen. My dad was also really busy at work at present, so I was afraid that this may make him mad. When feeling hopeless, I noticed that my table partner was writing fast on his test. I was attracted to look over at his test, but then the many bad results I had heard about cheating (作弊) came into my mind. I know that if I started cheating now, it would be hard to give up that habit during high school. In the end, I decided not to copy his answers, and got a B on that test. Even though my dad gave me a hard time about it, it would have been a lot worse if he found out that I had given in and cheated.
