He 11 a new suit for himself and invited his parents to the theatre and 12 afterwards at the most expensive restaurant in town. When his 13 parents arrived home after their evening hour, a policeman was waiting at the front door.

  “Johny Conman,”he said as he 14 him a piece of paper. “I'll see you in the court tomorrow.”

  When they got inside, Johny told his parents everything, “When you told me to 15 some money, I decided to put an advertisement in the newspaper, saying 'New way to make money fast! Send me $5 and I'll tell you my 16 '. When I received the money I wrote back 17 people advertise a new money-making plan in the paper and wait for the 18 to send them money.”

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was ___36___ and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my ___37___. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. “You’re  38 my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in ___39___ ……”

He didn’t finish the ___40___, but it was obvious that his display of honesty was ___41___. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade.

Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade ___42___ because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being ___43___ in the future. And every time I tell this story, some people agree with this ___44___.

  But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my ___45___ in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to ___46___ an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest ___47___ of his knowledge and it would have been ___48___to other students. How could I ___49___ give a student a gift of an unearned grade?

  I know ___50___ reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like ___51___ too much change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up ___52___ as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is ___53___enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.

  Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did ___54___ him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have ___55___him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

36. A. wise             B. right             C. rigid             D. angry

37. A. files              B. books        C. records          D. notes
