Mark was 11 and often went fishing with his father．Several hours before the bass（巴斯鱼） season opened，he and his father were fishing early in the evening．One hour later，he found he caught a big fish，but it was a bass．

It was 10 pm--two hours before the season opened．His father looked at the fish，and then at the boy．

"You will have to put it back，son，" he said．  

"Dad ! "cried the boy．

"There will be other fish，"said his father．  

"Not as big as this one，" cried the boy．

Mark looked around the lake．No others were around．Nobody would know what time he caught the fish，but he knew his father wouldn't change his idea．He slowly put the fish into the water．He thought that he would never again see such ~ great fish．

That was 34 years ago．Today，Mark is a successful man．And he was right．He has never again caught such a big fish．But he does see that same fish again and again--every time he faces a question of ethics（道德准则）．

As his father taught him，ethics are simple matters of right and wrong．But the practice of ethics is difficult．Do we do right when no one is looking? We would if we were taught to put the fish back when we were young．

完形填空

　　My work keeps me in Hong Kong most of the year, but I try to get away for a month in summer, usually in July. Now as you probably know, that's the main 1 season in Europe. The favourite places for holidays and the famous cities are usually very 2 . But I'm not seeking (寻求) the sun--I can get lots of 3 in Hong Kong--and I'm certainly not seeking the crowds！ So when I 4 holiday, I buy a Train Pass (a kind of train ticket) that allows me first-class travel on most of the railways of Western Europe. First-class compartments are 5 crowded and they are very comfortable. If you're going on overnight 6 , you can take a sleeping train for an extra charge. There are usually dining cars(餐车)in the train.

　　I find that train travel is restful and 7 . There's always 8 to see. .I particularly (特别地) enjoy 9 through Switzerland and Italy. You can get a very good 10 of what a country is like from a train; you don't' go too fast and you stop quite often. Also train travel is very 11 , and I am never sick on a train as I am on a ship. Then there are always people to 12 if you feel like a chat(闲谈).

　　The reason that I seldom (很少)travel by plane is quite 13 because train stations are usually built in the centre. I don't have to 14 transport(运输工具); transport can be a problem when arriving by 15 .
