填空题将下列文章译成英语。(北京外国语大学2009研,考试科目:英汉互译)
国庆节回家,那个黄河边上的乡村,开小汽车的乡亲开始多见,虽然他们穿衣打扮还没有太多的改变,但当我看到他们开上价值20多万的汽车时,我很是欣喜。
但欣喜似乎很快止于一次街头的聊天,乡亲告诉了我这里发生的两件事。首先是旁边村子里一个人被同村的三兄弟杀死在家中,事情起源于土地租赁,因为租金高低的纠纷,欲强租土地的人找人把不愿意接受租金价位的人打了,还发出狠话,打死也就是几万块钱的事,于是被打的一方三兄弟联合起来,有了这一命案,四个家庭随之破碎。还有一个发生在我们村里,收割玉米的乡亲欲从邻居家地上开车通过,邻居老太太心疼庄稼不许,争吵中躺在自家田头说:要过,就从身上轧过。于是车轰鸣着,轧过老人,陪了几万块私了。
儿时的乡村,是可以夜不闭户的。放学回家,有时家中无人,邻居大婶总是招呼到他们家,坐在饭桌前,一切都是那么自然。农忙时,家里农活忙碌,邀邻居来帮,只需吃顿简单的饭,聊聊天。现在这里,生活的认知和价值观已经发生了很大的改变。我们都知道,国家在大力发展农村经济,我也期待家乡环境的改善,也相信很快就会有大的变化,但乡村的这些事也让我思考,我们是否应该在文化价值观方面,做出相应的指点和引导呢。

a suitable word in each blank on the ANSWER SHEET.
Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is
characterized{{U}} (51) {{/U}}trust. The "honor system," imposed by the
teacher and the university, demands that the student{{U}} (52)

tests, plagiarizing in written work, presenting others' ideas as original,
and{{U}} (54) {{/U}}in homework completed by someone are all
prohibited. Violation of the honor system can result in a
student's failing a course, having a permanent record of the violation placed in
the student's school files, or even being{{U}} (55) {{/U}}from the
