　 Shundagarh is a village on India’s east-facing coast. It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the water-line. The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty metres. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills, overlooking Shundagarh. From his fields he could see the fishing-boats that travels up and down the coast. He could see the children playing on the sand; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva river flowed into the sea; and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.

All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out, the miserable hut that he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking pots and his fields. The corn that he grew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Japlur could live happily enough---not well, but happily. When the sun was fierce, and there was little or no rain, then he came close to the line between a life which was too hard and death itself.

Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast. He had been thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife and children. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die than do this.

On the day when Jalphur decided that he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he looked out to sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometers out, advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpur would have shouted, but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do: he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher. Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield, they found Jalpur, and there they buried him.

On his grave, they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur, a man who gave, living; a man who died, giving.

You want something you can’t get by behaving within the rules, and you want it badly, 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 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 Univeristy of Oregon in Eugene.

All animals are part of the food chain: they are listed on someone else’s menu and always run the risk of ending up as someone else’s lunch, dinner or snack.

　 To protect themselves from being eaten and to survive in the wild, many animals have developed clever ways to escape from or avoid danger.

Like human beings, animals often try to hide or run away when they are being attacked. Many animals have adapted to their environment in such a way that they can hide better. Having the right colour can make a difference. Many animals have the same or similar colour as their environment, making it more difficult for other animals to find them. Some can change colour very quickly, even in a few seconds. Other animals and insects have a body shape that helps them hide. Some insects look just like a small stick and can easily hid in a tree or bush.

If it is too late to hide or run away, an animal must use other methods to survive an attack. One type of snake that lives in Texas has developed an interesting way to defend itself. If it is attacked, it first makes itself look bigger and pretends to be a dangerous snake. If that doesn’t work, the snake uses another trick: it rolls over, opens its mouth and acts as if it were dead. The snake is such a good actor that it seems quite dead. If someone picks it up, it hangs like a rope and doesn’t move. However, if you roll it back on its stomach, it will roll over on its back again in order to look dead.

Another way to survive an attack is to have useful body parts. The turtle has a thick shell that protects it from its enemies, and other animals have teeth, claws, and horns that they can use to defend themselves. There are also animals that can use their tails to fight off attackers. A long tail can be used to hit an attacker, and there is even an animal whose tail will break off so that it can run away if someone grabs it.

The best way to stay safe is to develop a way to receive an early warning when danger comes. Many animals stay together in large groups and use sounds and body language to warn each other if they see or hear something suspicious. Some animals even work together with other species to say safe. The birds you often see on the back of a water buffalo have an important job: they help warn the buffalo of danger.
