"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（经历）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 went against my beliefs. I curled（蜷曲）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（守卫）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.
