The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
----Thomas Macaulay
About thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O’Neill gave a maths 41 to our class. When the papers were 42 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 43 mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 44 in exams. Perhaps that was 45 Mrs O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 46 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O’Neill asked 47 questions, and she didn’t 48 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 49 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 50 I can say: it was the most important single 51 of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they 52 seem to me the best yardstick (准绳), because they give us a 53 to measure ourselves rather than others.
54 of us are asked to make 55 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called 56 daily to make a great many personal decisions. Should the wallet, 57 in the street, be put into a pocket or 58 to the policeman? Should the 59 change received at the store be forgotten or 60 ? Nobody will know except you. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect. 41. A. paper B. question
