Question

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points.He was1and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my2. His beaming(欢笑的)face turned to shock."You're3my grade?" he said angrily."I would never have come in4…"
He didn't finish the5 , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was6 .He thought he'd have it all —praise and the higher grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade7because all I'd accomplished was to discourage him from being8in the future.And every time I tell this story, some people agree to this9.
But I can't see how I could give good reason for worsening my10in grading by undermining(损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to11an error.The grade itself would be a dishonest12of his knowledge and it would have been13to other students.How could I14give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know15reporting an error in one's favor is unusual, but, like16 too much change, it's clearly the right thing to do.People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up17as much as anyone else.The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is18
enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student's grade did19him from being honest in the future, but bribing(贿赂)him to be honest so that he does the right thing when its cost-free would have20him even more.The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

诚实是什么？我们该如何让人们诚实？文章通过一个小故事告诉了我们究竟该如何保持诚实。
1.形容词辨析。A聪明的，明智的；B正确的；C固执的；D生气的。根据下文我在成绩记录中改了他的名字，可知我也认为他是正确的，我多给他分数了。
2.名词辨析。解析同上。
3.动词辨析。A降低；B改正；C改变；D生产，制作；根据上下文可知这个学生对我降了他的分数感觉很惊讶，也很生气，接下来说：如果（我知道你降了我的分数），我就不会来了。
4.上下文辨析。解析同上。
5.上下文辨析。根据上文的"I would never have come in  44  …"可知他这句话没有说完。
6.上下文串联。根据句意可知这个学生并不诚实，因为下句说他既想得到高分也想得到表扬。他表现出的诚实是假的。
7.动词辨析。A移动；B改变；C保持不变；D下降；根据上下文可知同事们都认为我不应该降他的分数，因为我们那样做会让他变得不诚实。
8.形容词辨析。解析同上。
9.名词辨析。A言辞;谈论,评论；B抱怨；C表扬；D成就。根据句意可知A正确，名词我说起这个故事，人们都同意这样的话。
10.名词辨析。A罪；B错误；C怀疑；D内疚；根据句意：我没有任何理由不去纠正我的错误而去破坏我其它分手的平等性而使我错上加错。
11.动词辨析。解析同上。
12.名词辨析。A回应；B感觉；C迹象，征兆；D反应。根据句意可知：那个分数本身就是对知识的不诚实的反应，对于别的学生来说这就是一种不公平。我怎么可能会给一个学生不应的分数呢？
13.形容词辨析。解析同上。
14.副词辨析。解析同52.
15.副词辨析。根据句意可知：就像归还多给的零钱一样，自告奋勇地报告自己所犯的错误是不同寻常的。
16.动词辨析。解析同上。
17.名词辨析。A益处；B荣誉；C奖励；D礼物；根据句意可知：那些真正诚实的人和别人一样也不愿意放弃好处，但是君子爱财，取之有道。对于他们这样的人来说名誉就是对他们的奖励。
18.名词辨析。A快乐；B奖励；C内容；D荣誉，光荣的事情；解析同上。
19.固定词组。Discourage sb from doing sth阻止某人做某事；
20.上下文辨析。降低他的分数可能阻止他诚实，但是通过给他高分来让他诚实也许会让他收到更大的伤害。
