Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more  31  waiting for the final school bell. Upon its   32  everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David
David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often  33 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 34 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David   35  . I can still remember he was always  36 a smile and willing to help. He always  37 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He  38  just smile and ask what else he could do ,then thank me for letting him stay and slowly  39 home.
Weeks passed and the  40  over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of  41 before the holiday break. I smiled in  42  as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David 43 standing by my desk.  
“I have something for you” he said and   44 from behind his back a small box.  45   it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it. ”I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 46  saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said. “The box is nice, David, but it’ s  47 .
“ Oh no it isn’t ,” said David “ It’s full of love, my mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there .”
Tears filled my eyes  48  Ilooked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given  49  to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 50 the little empty box set on my desk.

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points.He was 41 and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my  42  . His beaming(欢笑的)face turned to shock."You're  43  my grade?" he said angrily."I would never have come in  44  …"
He didn't finish the  45_ , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was  46_ .He thought he'd have it all —praise and the higher grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade 47  because all I'd accomplished was to discourage him from being  48 in the future.And every time I tell this story, some people agree to this   49 
But I can't see how I could give good reason for worsening my_ 50  in grading by undermining(损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to  51 an error.The grade itself would be a dishonest  52  of his knowledge and it would have been 53 to other students.How could I  54 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know 55 reporting an error in one's favor is unusual, but, like 56_ too much change, it's clearly the right thing to do.People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up  57 as much as anyone else.The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is  58 
enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student's grade did  59 him from being honest in the future, but bribing(贿赂)him to be honest so that he does the right thing when its cost-free would have   60 him even more.The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes---khaki pants and sports shirt---to the office. He hardly ever wears necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday.” “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing,” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productive. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
小题1:David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because_______.
A.he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B.he couldn’t stand a clean appearance
C.he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D.he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
小题2:David Smith wears casual clothes now, because________
A.they make him feel at ease when working
B.he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C.he looks handsome in casual clothes
D.he no longer works for any company
小题3:According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?
A.Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.
B.Comfortable clothes make employees more productive
C.A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees
D.All the employers in the U.S are for casual office wear.
小题4:In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT_______.
A.saving employees’ money
B.making employees more attractive
C.improving employees’ motivation
D.making employees happier

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few  36 . On their faces was confidence . This was their last exam — then on to 37 and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they 38 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take 39 of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)  40 task. The professor had said they could bring  41 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 42 each other, during the test.
 43 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 44 on the students’ faces as they noted(注意到) there were only five essay-type questions.
Three hours had passed 45 the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the 46 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 47 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly (不安地,慌张地)in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 48 .”But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that,   50 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the   51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively(相对地,相当地)  52 in everyday practice. ” Then smiling, he added, “You will all  53 this course, but remember — even though you are now college graduates, your education has just  54 .”
