The document contains a passage about a university student named Yuri studying history. He tended to procrastinate on assignments and avoid working. For a history class assignment due in two weeks, Yuri intended to do it but postponed writing it. The following week, he forgot to do the assignment. The night before it was due, he rushed to the library to try to read as much as possible on the topic but there wasn't enough time. He considered asking for an extension but decided to cheat by copying an old article. The professor recognized the plagiarized work was from an article he had written previously and confronted Yuri.

2. Yuri was in his first year at university, studying History. He was rather a lazy student, and he tended to avoid (work)
whenever he could. In the middle of the semester, his history professor gave out an assignment, due in two weeks. Yuri
intended (do) the assignment, but he postponed(write) it for a week. The following week, he forgot (do)
it. The night before the assignment was due, he suddenly remembered it, and rushed to the library. He tried (read) as
much as possible on the topic, but there wasn't enough time. Yuri considered (ask) for more time to do his paper, but the
History professor was known to be very tough on students, so finally he decided (cheat) and copy his paper from
somewhere else. He found an old article on the same topic, and quickly typed it out. The next day, he submitted the paper.
The following week, he was alarmed (see) the professor approaching him, looking angry. "Is this your own work, or did
you copy it?" asked the professor. Yuri denied(copy) the paper.
"If you expect me (believe) that, you must think I am very stupid," said the professor. "Every word is taken from an
article I wrote myself five years ago. Did you really think I would forget (write) it?"
