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.Why did No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang hold a no – teacher exam?
| A．Because the teachers were too busy with their work. |

| D．Because the headmaster wanted to know who cheats in exams. |

Fir Tree（杉树） had many tree friends．In summer，they watched Bird and Squirrel（松鼠）play in the field．Then autumn arrived．The leaves on other trees turned colourful．Fir Tree's leaves stayed green．Fir Tree told Mother Nature that he wanted his leaves to change colours too．
"Be patient，" Mother Nature said． "You will learn your purpose．"
So Fir Tree waited．The temperature dropped． Bird flew south， and Squirrel was nowhere around．All the trees lost their leaves except Fir Tree． Soon it snowed．Fir Tree cried，"Why don't I change like my friends？"
"Be patient，" Mother Nature replied． " Soon you will get to know your purpose．"
Just then， Squirrel appeared．She was cold．She asked if she could build a warm home in branches（树枝）．Other trees said no because they had no leaves． But Fir Tree said yes． Squirrel ran up Fir Trees branches． Soon， she was warm， comfortable and asleep．

In the past， I thought I was terrible at many things， such as math， French and science． Although I was good at drawing， I wasn't the best in my art class．I wanted to find out who I was，what I liked and how I could do it better．So， that winter，I took a notebook and kept my diary． When I filled that notebook，I started another one， and then another．
Keeping a diary helps a lot． Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better． It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams， friendships and happiness． Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over themand move on． Personally， I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary．For example，when I am fighting with my dad， I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates．I'll write something like，"I might not have clear skin， but I like my eyes．"
Right about now， you might be thinking： it sounds great， but I'm not a good writer； or I'd love to keep a diary， but my handwriting is terrible． Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework ﹣there are no rules， so do whatever feels best．
