       US teenagers may be facing a challenge (挑战) today. A recent survey suggests (表明) that they

are less honest than previous generations (上一代人).

       The survey was done among 29,760 students at 100 US high schools. The results suggest that in

the past year, 30 percent of US high school students have stolen from a store. And 64 percent may

have cheated on a test.

       However, 93 percent of the students said they were satisfied (满意) with their honesty. And 77

percent said,"when it comes to doing what is right, I am better than most people I know."

Some teachers were unhappy about the survey results. Some,  however,  defended (为……辩护)

today's students.

       "The competition is greater and the pressures (压力) on kids have increased greatly,"said Mel

Riddle, who was a high school teacher and headmaster for 40 years."It is the pressures that make it

easy for students to be dishonest."

       "I think these students are better than other generations,"he said."I find them more active, better

to work with and more thankful for support."" We have to create situations where it's easy for kids to

do the right things, "he added."We need to create classrooms where learning is more important than

having the right answer."
