48、)After working for four hours without stop, Tom appeared exhausted.p. 131. Ex. 4The tired hikers slept for almost ten hours in the trail shelter. Then Rick woke up and hurried out of his cot when, looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black spider. At this point, his brother Hal woke up wit
49、h a start and sneezed several times. Because Hal was coming down with a cold, Rick agreed to prepare the breakfast. He first fetched a canteen of orange juice which had cooled overnight from a nearby stream. Next, he started a fire and set about boiling water for coffee and frying up some bacon and
50、eggs. Meanwhile, Hal, wearing a heavy sweatshirt and gloves, sniffled, sipped some orange juice, and waited by the fire for a cup of coffee. After both had eaten, Rick was ready to plan another days hiking. But Hal was interested only in hiking to the nearby highway, to the bus that could drop him a
51、 block from his house.p. 131. Ex. 4For years students have been using the same methods of cheating on exams. One triedandtrue technique is the casual glance. Pretending to stare thoughtfully out of the window, students may use peripheral vision to look at another students paper. Another alltime favo
52、rite method, the pencil or pen drop, requires a helper. Dropping a pen and then diving for it, a help-seeker may whisper “Number seventeen” (or the number of some other question) to the helper. Then, making a similar pen drop, the helper whispers the answer. The most elaborate system, though, is writing up cheat sheets. Tucked up a shirtsleeve, tiny scraps of paper may contain pages of textbook material. No matter how smooth a cheaters style is, however, the timetested methods are often ineffective. Having been a student at one time, the inspector is probably familiar with the same ones.
