You want something you can’t get by behaving within the rules, and you want it badly enough you’ll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret, and you’re willing to run the risk of being caught. That’s how Ladd Wheeler, psychology professor at the University of Rochester in New York, defines cheating. Many experts believe cheating is on the rise. "We’re suffering a moral(道德)breakdown," Pinkard says. "We’re seeing more of the kind of person who regards the world as a series of things to be dealt with. Whether to cheat depends on whether it’s in the person’s interest. “He does, however, see less cheating among the youngest students. Richard Dienstbier, psychology professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that society’s attitudes explain much of the increase in cheating. "Twenty years ago if a person cheated in college, that is extremely serious, he will be dropped for a semester if not kicked out permanently," he says. "Nowadays, at the University of Nebraska, for example, it is the stated policy of the College of Arts and Science that if a student cheats in an exam, the student must receive an "F" on what he cheated in. That’s nothing. If you’re going to fail anyway, why not cheat? Cheating is most likely in situations where the interests are high and the chances of getting caught are low," says social psychologist Lynn Kahle of the University of Oregon in Eugene.

Chinese teahouses are the traditional ancient cafes of the east, for getting together and chatting with friends and generally passing the time.

In recent years the tradition has been refreshed, becoming fashionable in modern cities.

"The teahouse has become a place for people to not only sip tea and relax, but also to experience Chinese culture, hold social activities, host private parties and conduct business negotiations(谈判)," said Wu Xiduan, secretary-general of the China Tea Circulation Association.

The teahouse recreates the charm of old Beijing, which makes it a must for foreigners, who, from around the world, may come to appreciate Beijing Opera, drama, acrobatics and other Beijing folk arts, as well as sip tea.

Jasmine tea is the favorite of many old Beijingers, with its pure, clear taste and strong aroma. It's definitely on the menu at the Lao She Teahouse.

Also, it would be a pity to miss the performance of the Xiao'ers while you're watching the shows. Every Xiao'er at the Lao She Teahouse carries a special copper pot with a meter-long spout(壶嘴). And they handle the scalding(烫)pot without spilling a single drop of water.

Dawan tea is just as famous as the long-spouted teapot. The Chinese name means "inexpensive tea in a big tea bowl" and it was another old Beijing teahouse specialty. It's said that the founder of Lao She Teahouse, started his business by serving Dawan tea for just two cents each. And today it's the only teahouse still serving Dawan tea for two cents a bowl, even though there's no profit in it.
