     In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her    36    voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and    37    decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had    38   the word. But instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the    39   letter---so she lost the contest.

     As the girl walked off the   40   , the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her    41   . Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s honesty(诚实), even when it   42    her the contest. But the fact is that she   43    the biggest contest that day: the contest of her    44   .

     Probably the biggest test of our character is what we would do if we knew we would never get    45   . This young girl could easily have    46   and nobody would have known it but herself. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. It’s been said, “If you    47   , you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own   48   and character rather than the prize from spelling    49   . Her respect for herself was more important than any    50    others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the   51    she made in that moment will have long-lasting influence.

     It’s so true that the choices you make today    52   what you are tomorrow. Our children will    53   our behavior much more than our advice. So if we want them to   54    to be honest, we must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember, our kids are     55 what we do and how we live even when we don’t think they see or know.
