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. Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic ____41____ to our class. When the papers were marked she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the ____42____ mistakes throughout the test.

There is nothing really new about ___43____ in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O'Neill___44____ even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to ____45___ after class. I was one of the twelve.

Mrs. O'Neill asked ____46____ questions, and she didn't ____47____ us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the ____48__ words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to ___49____ these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.

I don't ___50__ about the other eleven boys. Speaking for ____51____ I can say: it was the most important single ____52___ of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to  Macaulay's words, they ____53____ seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a ___54___ to measure ourselves rather than others.

____55____ of us are asked to make ___56____ decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called upon daily to make a great many personal decisions. ___57____ the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket____58____ turned over to the policeman? Should the ____59____ change received at the store be forgotten or returned? Nobody will know except ____60___. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
