Summary of the discussion
For test-taking, honesty may be the best policy. Tests help students know themselves. Tests enable students to discover what they need to spend more time studying and help make their newly acquired knowledge sink in. The purpose of a test is to show what the students have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if they don’t pass a test.

In the state of New York, the Department of Education requires that high school students take year-end examinations in science, math, and language subjects. A regent is a member of a board appointed to govern educational institutions. In New York, the regents make out these required examinations. The regents’ exam does not replace the final examination. It is a secure test, meaning that other than the regents themselves, no one, not even the teachers, is supposed to see the examinations prior to their administration. The exams are mostly multiple choice questions, though students may be required to write a short essay or solve math problems. A score of 65 is required to pass the exam, the top score being 100.

大学英语精读第二册Unit8：IsItGoingoutofStyle？
Unit Eight:Honesty：Is It Going out of Style?Ever thought about cheating on a test? Of course not. But some students are not quite so honest …Honesty: Is It Going Out of Style?Stacia RobbinsAccording to a recent poll, 61 percent of American high school students have admitted to cheating on exams at least once. It can be argued such a response my not mean much. After all, most students have been faced with the temptation to peek at a neighbor's test paper. And students can be hard on themselves in judging such behavior. However, there are other indications that high school cheating may be on the rise.More and more states are requiring students to pass competency tests in order to receive their high school diplomas. And many educators fear that an increase in the use of state exams will lead to a corresponding rise in cheating. A case in point is students in New York State who faced criminal misdemeanor charges for possessing and selling advance copies of state Regents examinations.Cheating is considered to be a major problem in colleges and universities. Several professors say they've dropped the traditional term paper requirement because many students buy prewritten term papers, and they can't track down all the cheaters anymore.Colleges and universities across the nation have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student cheating. For instance, the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland launched a campaign to stop one form of cheating. As 409 students filed out of their exam, they found all but one exit blocked. Proctors asked each student to produce an ID card with an attached photo. Students who said they'd left theirs in the dorm or at home had a mug shot taken. The purpose of the campaign was to catch "ringers," students who take tests for other students.The majority of students at the University of Maryland applauded the campaign. The campus newspaper editorial said, "Like police arresting speeders, the intent is not to catch everyone but rather to catch enough to spread the word."We frequently hear about "the good old days", when Americans were better, happier, and more honest. But were they more honest? Maybe yes, a long time ago when life was very different from what it is today.School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he'd overcharged a customer. It's the kind of story we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true … unlike the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. Washington's first biographer invented the tale of little George saying to his father, "I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my ax." What is important in both stories, however, is that honesty was seen as an important part of the American character.And these are just two stories out of many. Students in the last century usually didn't read "fun" stories. They read stories that taught moral values. Such stories pointed out quite clearly that children who lied, cheated, or stole came to bad ends. Parents may have further reinforced those values. It's difficult to know. We do know that children didn't hear their parents talk of cheating the government on income taxes - there weren't any.A clue as to why Americans may have been more honest in the past lies in the Abe Lincoln story. Lincoln knew his customer. They both lived in a small town. Would a check-out person at a large supermarket return money a customer? It's less likely. On the other hand, would overnight guests at an inn run by a husband and wife, steal towels? It's less likely.Perhaps this tells us that people need to know one another to be at their honest best.The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty as an important part of the American Character. For that reason, there are numerous watch-dog committees at all levels of society. Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty?There is some evidence that dishonesty may ebb and flow. When times are hard, incidents of theft and cheating usually go up. And when times get better such incidents tend to go down.Cheating in school also tends to ebb and flow. But it doesn't seem linked to the economy.Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat. Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating - a person may feel "they don't trust me anyway," and be tempted to "beat the system." Distrust can be contagious. But, so can trust!NEW WORDShonestyn. freedom from deceit, cheating, etc. 诚实stylen. fashion 时髦polln. survey of public opinion by putting questions to a representative selection of persons 民意测验admitv. state or agree to the truth of; confess 承认，供认admissionn.temptationn. the act of tempting or being tempted 引诱；诱惑peekvi. look (at sth.) quickly, esp. when one should not 偷看behavio(u)rn. way of behaving ⾏为behavev.indicationn. sign or suggestion 迹象competencyn. ability; being competent 能⼒；胜任diploman. official paper showing that a person has successfully finished a course of study or passed an examination ⽂凭correspondinga. matching 相应的criminala. of crimemisdemeano(u)rn. crime that is less serious than, for example, stealing of murder 轻罪chargen. accusation 指控possessn. have, own 占有，拥有advancea. made available before the date of general publication or release 预先的regentn. member of a governing board （学校董事会的）董事dropvt. give up; discontinue 放弃；⾰除traditionala. of or according to tradition 传统的traditionn.requirementn. sth. required; sth. demanded as a condition 要求；必要条件prewrittena. written beforehand; written in advancepsychologyn. science of the mind ⼼理学psychologicala.launchvt. start, set going 发起；发动campaignn. series of planned activities for some special purpose运动filevi. march or move in a line 排成纵队⾏进exitn. way out of a place 出⼝（处）proctorn. 临考⼈ID cardn. identity card ⾝份证dormn.

A public opinion poll is a method of learning what people think and how they feel about a wide variety of subjects. The first poll of public opinion was conducted in 1824 in the US. In the early 20th century public opinion polls began using statistical sampling techniques. After the Second World War and particularly in the 1960s the popularity of the opinion polls grew. One of the best-known is the Gallup Poll — a poll of public opinion on a major political or social issue, developed by George H. Gallup, an American statistician. Two methods of sampling are practiced by the polls, random and quota sampling. The former consists in selecting persons to be interviewed at random. Quota sampling involves selecting a sample of people which is representative of the population in terms of age, occupation, sex, region and so on.
