    "Keep your eyes on your own paper" is one of the rules that Mrs． Archer has taught us． It is a simple rule， but it's not a rule everybody chooses to follow．

    This morning， I had an experience with a "rule breaker" during an English exam． I felt somebody was watching me a little too closely． I turned my head quickly and saw James， who sat right behind me． My eyes caught his and he said in a low voice． "I hope you studied for this test!" I gave him a smile， not sure whether he was joking or not， and returned to my test． This time I leaned （倾身） a little more closely towards my paper， "I can't see!" James said．

    "What am I going to do？" I thought to myself． Cheating （欺骗） went against my beliefs． I curled my arm around my answers．

    "He's your friend，and what are friends for？"

    "You know it's wrong．"

    I tapped （轻敲，轻拍） the top of my desk， hoping for an easy way out of this matter． No easy answer came． I just knew I had to do what I felt was right， even if it made James mad． So I guarded my paper so that he couldn't see my answers．

    When the exam ended， I stood there for a moment， searching for the right words to say to James． "Sorry， James， but you know me well enough to understand how I feel about cheating，" I said slowly and softly． "But maybe I could help you study before the next test．" "OK， Brian，" he smiled． "It might not be easy， but I'll give it a try．"

    I felt happy that my friendship with James hadn't been destroyed （破坏）． Mrs． Archer would be proud．

B． James， in a low voice．

I had two pets in my house， a dog named Sam and a cat named Katty．They loved each other so much that they were always together．When I played with one， the other joined in．If Sam barked at something，Katty ran to see what it was． When I took either one out of the house， the other was always waiting by the door when we returned． That was the way it was for years．

    But one day， without any warning， Sam died of a heart attack （心脏病突发） at the animal hospital and I had to walk back to our house alone． This time，there was no Sam for Katty to greet and no way for me to explain why she would never see her friend again．

    In the days that followed， Katty seemed heartbroken． She could not tell me in words how she felt， but I could see the pain and disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door and the hope whenever she heard a dog bark．

    As the weeks went by，the cat seemed to feel much better．One day as I walked into our living room，I happened to have a look at the floor next to our sofa where we had a statue （塑像） of Sam that we had bought a few years before． Lying next to it， one arm around the statue's neck， was Katty， happily sleeping with her best friend．
