你如何看待考试作弊的行为？你赞同下面故事中那位老师的处理办法吗？在阅读完下面的故事后，说说你的感想。

　　Donald was not very good at math. He couldn't understand the teacher's explanations. Even when the teacher explained something a second time, Donald still could not understand it.

　　“Never mind,” Donald told himself, “I am quite good at other subjects. I'll cheat in the math exam, then I won't be in trouble.”

　　“I'll sit next to the boy who's best at math,” he thought, “and copy down his answers.”

　　The day of the exam came, and Donald sat next to Brain Smith, who always was at the top of the class in math.

　　Donald carefully copied Brain's answers on to his own exam paper.

　　At the end of the exam, the teacher collected the papers and graded them.

　　Then she said, “Well, boys and girls, I've decided to give a prize to the student who got the highest grade. It's difficult for me to decide who to give the prize to, however, because two students, Donald and Brain, got the same grade.” “Let them share it.” one of the other students said.

　　“I've thought about that,” the teacher said, “but I've decided to give the prize to Brain.”

　　Donald was angry when he heard this.

　　He stood up and said, “That's not fair. I got the same grade as Brain.”

　　“That's true,” the teacher said, “However, Brain's answer to Question 18 was ‘I don't know.’ Yours was ‘ Neither do I. ’”
