    8.Elena Was Taught a Lesson

    埃琳娜受到教训

    Elena was not a good student. Her head was in the clouds most of the time. She wanted to listen in class and to study，but other things were more important， like her boyfriend， her clothes， and television. Every time she tried to concentrate on her lesson， her mind wandered.

    One day， her English teacher， Mrs Green， said she was going to give an important test. She reviewed all week. Where Was Elena？ She seemed to be there， but her mind was absent.

    “Did you copy the questions？ Did you do the exercises？ Did you write your homework？ Elena， wake up！ You're going to fail the test，”warned Mrs Green.

    The day of the test arrived. Elena didn't study very much， and she didn't know many answers. She tried to guess but soon gave up.

    Next to Elena sat Ivan， a very hardworking student. Elena didn't want to fail the test， so she decided to cheat. She knew it was wrong， but she had no way out. She began to copy all of I van's answers.

    Ivan noticed Elena cheating and was very angry. Quickly he changed all his answers so that they were incorrect. So did Elena. Then， hiding his paper，hequickly changed his answers back to the way they had been. Elena wasn't quick enough and the bell rang. Ivan turned to Elena and laughed.

    “Honesty is the best policy，”he said.“Now all your answers are wrong for sure.”
