Graduate business students in the United States and

Canada are more likely to cheat on their work than their

counterparts in other academic fields, the author of a

research paper said. The study of 5,300 graduate students in

the United States and Canada found that 56 percent of

graduate

business students admitted to cheating in the past

year, with many saying they cheated because they believed it

was an accepted practice in business. Following business

students, 54 percent of graduate engineering students

admitted to cheating, as did 50 percent of physical science

students, 49 percent of medical and health-care students,45 percent of law students, 43 percent of

liberal arts students and 39 percent of social science and humanities students. “Students have reached

likely that more students cheat than admit to it. The study, published in the Academy of Management

Learning and Education, defined cheating as including copying the work of other students, plagiarizing

professional world. “The typical comment is that what s important is getting the job done. How you get

it done is less important,” McCabe said. “You ll have business students saying all I m doing is

emulating（效仿）the behavior I ll need when I get out in the real world.”

Living in a foreign country is fun, but it isn t always easy. There are many differences between

cultures and although some of these differences are unimportant, some can cause a lot of

embarrassment. In addition to the obvious language problems of living in a foreign country, I certainly

experienced culture shock when I was living in London. I know I m not the only one so. I spoke to a

few foreign friends about how they experienced culture shock in China.

David arrived two months ago from Europe to take part in a language program in Shanghai. Before

he left, he was actually taught the differences between Europe and Chinese culture, including

everything from table manners to classroom behavior. However, some things have still taken him by

surprise. For example, he couldn t understand why waiters didn t want to accept the tips he gave them

after meals in restaurants. He said that in Europe waiters got angry if you didn t leave them a tip! I had

to explain to him that people usually don t tip in China and that this comes from the Confucian idea that

Another friend, Mary came to Guangzhou from London to teach at a language school. After a
