The water was running as fast as a runner running down the street. It sounded like a lion roaring. It was an amazing feeling.But on March 29, 1848, the people who lived close to the falls woke up in the morning and felt a change. They realized that Niagara Falls was as quiet as a mouse and had stopped falling.Everyone was very scared about what had happened, so they went to the church to pray.Actually, what had happened was this: Lots of ice had blocked the channel, which stopped the water. But after 30 hours, the people around the falls heard a huge thud — the ice block had fallen. Much to their joy, the water at Niagara was falling again. It sounded like a lion once more!36.

After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam ended.“That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral(道德). We wanted to show students how important honesty is,” said Mr. Wu Mingyu(吴明禹) , the sc hool’s headmaster. The school says no cheating happened in the test. Next year, it wants 20％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 Go u Jianyang, a 16-year-old boy in Class 30.“Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators(监考人). But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when need ed.” said Wang Jie.“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.” Miao Yurui said.“I think it’s very i mportant to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them.” Ai Yucen said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea.
