問題詳情：

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

About thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette O’Neill gave a math   41   to our class. When the papers were   42  , she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the   43   mistakes throughout the test.

There is nothing really new about   44   in exams. Perhaps that was   45  Mrs O’Neill  didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to   46   after class. I was one of the twelve.

Mrs O’Neill asked   47   questions, and she didn’t   48   us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the   49   words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to   50   these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.

I don’t know 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 (準繩) now because they give us a way to   54    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. Should the wallet,   57   in the street, be put into a pocket or   58  to the policeman? Should the   59  change received at the store be forgotten or   60  ? Nobody will know except you. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
