The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.                -------Thomas Macaulay

   Some thirty years ago  I was studying in a public school in New York, One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neil gave an arithmetic  1  to our class. When the papers were  2  she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the  3  mistakes throughout the test.

   There is nothing really new about  4  in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neil  5  even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to  6  after class. I was one of the twelve.

   Mrs O'Neill asked  7 questions, and she didn't  8  us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the  19  words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to  10  these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.

   I don't  11  about, the other eleven boys. Speaking for  12  I can say: it was the most important single 13 of my life. Thirty years after being  14  to Macaulay's words, they  15  seem to me the best yardstick (准绳), because they give us a  16  to measure ourselves rather than others.

    17  of us are asked to make  18  decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called  19   daily to make a great many personal decisions.  20  the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket  21  turned over to the policeman? Should the  22  change received at the store be forgotten or  23  ? Nobody will know except  24 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always  25  to live with someone you respect.
