About thirty years ago，I was studying in a public school in New York．One day，Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave a maths（41）C to our class．When the papers were （42）Ashe discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the（43）Bmistakes throughout the test．
There is nothing really new about（44）Din exams．Perhaps that was（45）C Mrs O'Neill didn't even say a word about it．She only asked the twelve boys to （46）Aafter class．I was one of the twelve．
Mrs O'Neill asked（47）Cquestions，and she didn't（48）D us either．Instead，she wrote on the blackboard the（49）Awords by Thomas Macaulay．She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times．
I don't know about the other eleven boys．Speaking for（50）DI can say：it was the most important single（51）Cof my life．Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay's words，they（52）A seem to me the best yardstick （准绳），because they give us a （53）D to measure ourselves rather than others．
（54）Bof us are asked to make （55）Cdecisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle．But all of us are called（56）Adaily to make a great many personal decisions．Should the wallet，（57）Bin the street，be put into a pocket or （58）C to the policeman？Should the（59）Bchange received at the store be forgotten or （60）D？Nobody will know except you．But you have to live with yourself，and it is always better to live with someone you respect．
