The measure of 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’Neill gave an arithmetic 【B1】 to our class. When the papers were 【B2】 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 【B3】 mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 【B4】 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill 【B5】 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 【B6】 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs. O’Neill asked 【B7】 questions, and she didn’t 【B8】 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 【B9】 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 【B10】 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t 【B11】 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 【B12】 I can say. it was the most important single 【B13】 of my life. Thirty years after being 【B14】 to Macaulay’s words, they 【B15】 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 【B16】 to measure ourselves rather than others.
【B17】 of us are asked to make 【B18】 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called 【B19】 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 【B20】 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? 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.
