English 8
Read the paragraph about cheating and answer the questions in 14 sheet of paper.
Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose.
For kids, cheating may happen at school, at home, or while playing a sport. If a
baseball team is for kids who are 8 or younger, it's cheating for a 9-year-old to play on
the team and hit home run after home run.
At school, in addition to cheating on a test, a kid might cheat by stealing
someone else's idea for a science project or by copying a book report off the Internet
and turning it in as if it's his or her original work. Copying someone else's words or
work and saying they're yours is a type of cheating called plagiarism (say: PLAY-juh-
rih-zem).
