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

　　——Thomas Macaulday

　　Some thirty years ago , I was studying in a public school in New York , One day , Mrs Nanete O'Neill gave an arithmetic 1 to our chass . When the papers were 2 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 3 mistakes throughout the test .

　　There is noting 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 Theomas Macaulay , She then ordered us to 10 these words into our exercisebooks 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 .

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 .
