The measure of a man’s character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.―Thomas MacaulaySome thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette O’Neil gave an arithmetic(算术)  ___ 36 ___  to our class. When the papers were  ___ 37 ___  she discovered that twelve boys had made the same mistakes throughout the test.

  There is really nothing new about  ___38___  in the exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill  ___39___  even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to  ___40___  after class. I was one of the twelve. Mrs. O’Neill asked  ___41___  questions, and she didn’t  ___42___  us either. Macaulay, she wrote on the blackboard the  ___43___  words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to  ___44___  these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.

  I don’t  ___45___  about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself I can say: it was the most important single  ___46___  of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they  ___47___  seem to me the best yard-stick(准绳), because they give us a  ___48___  to measure ourselves rather than others. ___49___  of us are asked to make  ___50___  decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called  ___51___  daily to make a great many personal decisions.  ___52___  the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the  ___53___  change received at the store be forgotten or  ___54___? Nobody will know except ___55___. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
