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

Should the extra change received at the store be forgotten or returned? Nobody will know except you．But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect．

　　Perhaps one of the worst fears 　　16　　 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or 　　17　　 by others．Being popular was so important to me 　　18　　 , and the fear of not being liked was a 　　19　　 one．

　　One of the processes(过程)of growing up is being able to 　　20　　 and overcome our fears．Understanding the things that frightened us as children help us achieve greater success later in life．
