The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.--Thomas Macaulay。
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette O'Neillgave an arithmetic 21 to our class. When the papers were 22 ,she discovered that twelve boys had made the 23 mistakes throughout the test.
There is really nothing new about 24 in the exams. Perhaps that was 25 Mrs. O'Neill didn't evensay a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 26 after class. I was one of the twelve.Mrs. O'Neill asked no questions, and she didn't 27 us either.She wrote on the blackboard the 28 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 29 these words into our exercisebooksone hundred times.
I don't 30 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself I can say: it was the most importantsingle 31 of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay's words, they 32 seem to methe best yardstick(准绳), because they give me a 33 to measure myself rather than others. 34 of usare asked to make great decisions about 35 going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us arecalled upon daily to make a great many 36 decisions. Should the wallet, found in the street, be putinto a pocket or turned over to the 37 ? Should the 38 change received at the store be forgottenor 39 ? Nobody will know except 40 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better tolive with someone you respect.
