Last week, 169 Junior One students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam papers, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam was over.
“That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of morality（道德）. We wanted to show the students how important honesty（诚实）is,” said the school’s headmaster. Next year, it wants 80% of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.
“I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted（信任）me,” said a 15-year –old girl in Class 11.
“Schools must trust students a lot and do not use invigilators（监考人）in exams. But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat（作弊）if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when they need,” said another student.
“I don’t like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed,” a third student said.
“I think it’s very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And invigilators can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them,” a girl student said.
No-teacher exams may be a good idea. But before using them, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.

Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical activities, and has a healthy weight. If you’re fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do, like running around with your friends.
Some steps only parents can take – such as serving healthy meals or deciding to take the family on a nature hike. Here are three rules you can follow, if you’re a kid who wants to be fit.
1. Eat a variety of Foods
You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while. Some foods, such as green vegetables, are more pleasing than the older you get. Take at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day – two fruits and three vegetables.
2. Drink Water & Milk
When you’re really thirsty, you can drink cold water. It’s also enough to drink 2 or 3 cups of milk a day.
3. Listen to Your Body
When you’re eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat t
oo much because they don’t notice when they need to stop eating. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable and can make you put on weight.

I used to have little passion（激情，热情）in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how it is to have a passion in life.
That day I went home in Mom’s car. When Mom at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed rags. He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless
.
But this man was in some way. He was not sitting down with a expression. Instead, he had a in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing he had.
“Mom, why does that man have a radio he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He it, “ she replied.
“But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He something that he didn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”
That man must care so much about that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that is the key to life.
Since then I am always thinking of is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes – these things are part of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light on a day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.
