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

　　Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day , Mrs. Nanette O'Neill 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.

　　This is nothing really new about  4 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O'Neill  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  9 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to  10 these words into 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 seen 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.
