When you think of cheating during exams, there is only one image that comes to mind – all those relatives scaling the wall of a school in Bihar trying to help out out the kids with answers and ‘chits’. That fiasco, of course, is legendary, but it won’t be wrong to say that there are scores of kids who manage to take a peek into their neighbor’s answer paper, or even smuggle in a couple of chits rolled up in their sleeves to help them out.

　　一提到考试作弊，我们的脑海中会自动跳出这样一个画面——印度比哈尔的考生家长们爬墙去帮助自己孩子递答案和小抄。这种做法的确奇葩，也不值得提倡，但是我们也不能否认，确实有一些学生最后成功偷窥到自己前后桌的答案，甚至把小抄卷起来藏到袖子里偷偷传阅，帮助自己考试过关。

　　That’s nightmare material for most examiners, who painstakingly walk around the room keeping a sharp eye on everyone. The anti-cheating method adopted by this school in China is parts ridiculous and hilarious. But 100 per cent unique and extremely effective. According to local Chinese media, it seems a school in the Anhui province of the country cut out skull-sized holes in newspaper sheets and had the students wear them over their heads from looking into each other’s answer sheets.

　　然而，这些作弊行为对于那些成天煞费苦心在考场转悠，专门观察谁搞小动作的监考老师来说却并不是什么好事儿。最近，中国某学校因本校采取的防作弊手段而一举成名，该方法听起来虽然既荒谬又滑稽，但又不失为一个有效的独门秘籍。据媒体报告，该学校是安徽省某中学，学校让学生们将处理过的报纸戴在头上答题，防止他们互相偷看答案。

　　Photographs of the students in their headgear seriously sitting in class and writing their exam have gone viral on social media platforms, and the response has been mixed. While some have said it’s a clever idea, others have slammed the school saying it is insulting to the students.

　　学生们头戴报纸考试的照片一经公开便迅速在各大媒体平台走红，相关评论也褒贬不一。一些网友认为该做法非常明智，也有一些人认为学校的做法是不尊重学生的表现，不值得提倡。

　　According to Shanghai news, schools across China have been cracking down hard on cheating in the exams in the country, using means such as drones and binoculars to keep a watch on the students, and even holding exams outside in the playground so that it is difficult for the kids to cheat.

　　据上海新闻报道，中国各所学校都在严厉打击考试中作弊行为，所用手段也是五花八门，遥控飞机、望远镜等高科技手段都纷纷派上用场，以便考场上监视学生。有些学校甚至将考场搬到操场，不给考生任何作弊机会。

　　Well, notwithstanding the seriousness of the issue, there is no doubt that the picture of these students wearing newspaper hats as an anti-cheating device will definitely make you chuckle! Imagine doing that in India!

　　尽管考试作弊不容忽视，然而看到学生头戴报纸的照片还是令人不禁笑出声，想象一下，这种情景如果出现在印度，会是怎么样的一幅画面?
