The measure of a 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. Manette O’Neill gave an arithmetic 1 to our class. When the papers were 2 , she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 3 mistake throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 4 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Nei11 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 our 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 seem 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.

Just then his friend Ben came 3 He laughed when he saw Tom painting. “What’s the 4, Tom? Does your aunt want you to work on such a nice day?”
Tom did not 5 painting. “Work? Oh, no, Ben. You see, painting is an 6 .First you must choose the right day, then you must get the best paint and brush. But most important of all, you must have the right 7. Aunt Polly says that there isn’t a boy in town 8 can paint this fence like me!”
Ben’s eyes opened wider. “Really, Tom? Let me try a 9.”
“Oh that isn’t possible ,” said Tom. “My Aunt Polly is very sure of the 10 she wants her fence painted.Remember, she chose me.”
“Come on, Tom, I’ll give you half my apple if you let me paint,” Ben 11 “Your aunt will never know the 12!”
“Oh, you’re wrong about that, Ben,” answered Tom. “She has very good 13. And think how I would feel 14 all,” she asked me to paint her fence.
“You may have my whole apple,” Ben said.“Give me the paint brush now.”
“Well, if you really think you can do it—here, 15 the brush but be very careful the way you paint.” Tom took a 16 into the red apple.
Half an hour later, when his friend had painted four 17 of the fence, Tom said, “You’re doing it quite well, Ben, but of course you need to do much more 18 you can really call yourself a painter.”
As each hour passed, Tom’s painting became more complete. Each friend who happened to walk past took his 19 at painting a few boards — all for a price, of course. “You have to make them think it’s 20 wonderful,” thought Tom. “They’d never want to do it without paying for it.”
