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

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

　　This is nothing 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 Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to  10 these words into exercise - books 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 seen to me the best Yardstick (准绳) , because they give us a  16 to measure ourselves rather than others.

　　 17 of us are asked to make  18 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle.

　　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 ? Nobody will know except  24 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always  25 to live with someone you respect.

　　As my train was delayed for two hours, I had plenty of time to spare. After buying some magazines to read on the journey, I gave my wife a long-distance call. Then I 1 my way to the luggage office to collect my heavy suitcase. I had left it there three days before. There were only a few people 2 , and I took out my 3 to find the receipt 4 my case. The receipt seemed not where I had placed it. No matter how 5 I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.

　　When my 6 came, I 7 the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man looked at me 8 as if to say that he had 9 this kind of story many times and asked me to tell him 10 my case was like. I told him it was an old brown-looking object, not different 11 the many cases I could see in his office. The assistant then told me to 12 a list of what was 13 in the case. If they were 14 , he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the things I had hurriedly put into the case and 15 them down as they came to me.

　　After I had done this, I went to 16 round the office. There were hundreds of 17 there. For one 18 moment, it came to my mind that if someone had picked the receipt he could have easily taken the case already. This had not happened fortunately, for I found the case 19 in the corner. After 20 the things inside, the assistant was satisfied that it was mine, and told me I could take the case away.

　　Fred Mundy enjoyed life. He loved adventure and the great outdoors, especially riding his motorcycle.

　　One day, Fred decided to 1 a motorcycle race. The race was to run on a dangerous course through 150 miles of rough 2 .

　　Fred was a proud man, he wanted to 3 the race. So, to save 4 , he only took along a small 5 of water, some apples, and a few pieces of bread.

　　The race began. Fred got off to a good 6 . But somewhere along the way, he rode a 7 turn. He became lost in a wilderness(荒原)of sand and rock－a lonely place 8 the temperature can 9 top 40 degrees centigrade!

　　A 10 party was organized, and planes were brought in, soon the searchers began 11 something: Fred’s motorcycle, footprints in the sand, even his empty can. 12 they couldn’t find Fred.

　　The searchers could not 13 this. Why didn’t Fred try to signal the airplanes above? Why didn’t he 14 marks for the searchers to 15 ? It was almost as if he didn’t 16 to be found.

　　Twelve days 17 the race, the searchers found Fred’s body. And near it, they found his bright orange helmet(头盔) 18 under a small bush. It seemed to be hidden so that 19 couldn’t be seen from the air.

　　Perhaps the researchers were right. Maybe Fred didn’t want to be found. Why? Because he was a proud man. He was trying to find his own way out of the desert. But he never 20 it. Fred Mundy had lost his race with time.

　　Dear Abby,

　　In a recent column, a woman wrote to say that one of her guests at a dinner party had 1 a fork, and she didn't know how to recover it.

　　I wasn't that guest, 2 over the last 10 years I have taken three things from homes where I have been a 3 Abby, I can't understand 4 I took these things! I have thought over as to how 5 can get these things back!

　　I can't do it 6 and admit that I took them. This is a small town, and I'm well 7 here. If just one of these people talked about it, I would be 8 .

　　Abby, what's wrong with me? They are really 9 things. I thought about seeing an expert, but should I be 10 going to an expert, it would be all over town in no time. I'm sure thousands of people 11 me wish to have the courage to return 12 , should I just wait until it's 13 , then put the things in the mailboxes of their 14 owners?

Guilty Conscience(罪恶感)

　　Dear Guilty Conscience,

　　 15 . It will make you feel better, but it will not 16 your problem. You need to seek help to 17 out why you took those things so you won't 18 that behavior. See an expert in another town or city nearby to 19 your privacy(隐私).

　　Please take my 20 , and let me hear from you again. I care. Abby
