My grandparents believed that you were either honest or you were not. They had a simple saying hanging on their living-room wall: “Life is like a field of newly fallen snow. Where I choose to walk every step will show.” They didn’t have to talk about it; they showed this truth by the way they lived.

They understood that honesty is an inner(内部的) standard for judging your behavior. Unfortunately, honesty is in short supply today. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline (自制能力) we must demand of ourselves.

There’s a story told about a surgical nurse’s first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital. She was responsible(负责) for all surgical instruments and materials during an operation. At the end of the operation, the nurse said to the doctor, “ You’ve only removed 11 sponges(海绵), and we used 12. We need to find the last one.”

“I removed them all,” the doctor assured her. “ No, you didn’t , sir,” insisted the nurse. “ Think of the patient.”

Smiling, the doctor lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge.

So when you know you’re right, you can’t yield. Don’t be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.

Self-respect and a clear awareness (意识)of right and wrong are powerful parts of honesty and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others. Honesty means you do what you do because it’s right and not just fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not easily yielding, will always take you forward. My grandparents taught me that.

When you hear the word “recycling”, what comes to your mind? The color green or global warming?

What if I were to tell you there is a dark side of recycling? A type of recycling that does more than good. The dark side of recycling has nothing to do with the environment but rather has a lot to do with the recycling of ideas.

Environmental unrest is not the only trouble we must face. Idea pollution is quickly becoming widespread across the online world.

Think about it. When was the last time you read an original blog post? I’m guessing it has been quite a while. Why do you think top bloggers of today win so much respect? Do you think they recycle their ideas? With each recycled idea the online world becomes much more polluted. Used content contributes to the ever increasing mass of digital smog.

The first step to reduce pollution is simple: stop recycling. When you stop recycling, you will then be forced to take up the task of creating from your own ideas. When you recycle an excellent idea, it soon becomes good. When you recycle a good idea, it soon becomes just OK. The chain continues until the key part of what used to make the idea good is saturated, leaving you nothing but a pile of mess.

In order not to pollute, your ideas must go beyond “just recycled”. Your ideas must stand out from the pollution of the web. For your voice and talent to be heard and seen, you must go far beyond the standard copy of your neighbours’ ideas.

For the next week, make a promise not to recycle. Let your ideas flourish and flow. Believe in your ability to create, because the death of recycling starts with YOU.

1.Which is true about top bloggers of today according to the writer?

A. They often recycle their ideas.

B. They tend to express many fresh ideas.

C. They are not worth much respect.

D. They make good use of others’ ideas.

2.What is the meaning of the underlined word “saturated” in paragraph 5?

A. many and good B. useful but not enough C. many but not good D. beneficial

3.This passage is written mainly for ________.

A. top bloggers B. common bloggers

C. environmental polluters D. net researchers

4.The main purpose of this passage is ________.

A. to remind people to pay attention to environmental protection

B. to prove that the web environment is becoming worse and worse

C. to warn people not to pollute our web environment with bad words
