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．

More Than I Had Dreamed Of
From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always 36 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections, 37 I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn’t had a chance. I wasn’t pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it 38 to win a school election. I was 39 .
As I cried in my room that evening, I 40 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn’t stop dreaming. I decided that I would 41 elections again in my final year at school—and I would win.
I recognized that my 42 had a lot of things in their favor. What were the 43 that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest 44 was the faith I had. I would not allow my 45 appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I 46 my election plans a whole year in advance.
I realized that girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to 47 them. I loved making friends and I liked being helpful, 48 I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage. In order to learn how to present a great election 49 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking.
The day after the election, when the principal(校长) announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students 50 . That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was 51 theirs.
Suddenly, I realized that I had 52 much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people 53 the way. I had won the 54 and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and 55 their day.

After attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening．The overhead light out- side my door was burned out and I had 36 finding the keyhole．When I 37 to open the door, I 38 around the wall for a light switch．I found a plate where a switch was 39 installed… but no switch!
Not discouraged easily, I remembered 40 a lamp by the bed when I deposited my luggage 41 in the day．I found the bed in the 42 and then the lamp, but when I switched it on ,nothing 43 !

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn’t know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking. Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.
We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.
For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.
We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.
Over dinner; we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately, she explained.
“I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.”The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.
小题1:Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?| A．Friends of the Road | | B．The Silent Woman on the Bus | | C．Going to Work by Bus | | D．Different Kinds of Friendship |
小题2:All the following statements can describe the woman except ______.| A．poor | B．warm -hearted | C．silent | D．cold |
小题3:The underlined word “establish” in the third paragraph probably has the same meaning as | A．keep | B．discover | C．set up | D．accept |
小题4:Why did the woman usually keep silence while taking the bus?| A．She was worried about her disabled son. | | B．She was sad to see the happy Mexican couple us a single mother. | | C．She had difficulty in expressing herself. | | D．She was only interested in the bus driver. |
小题5:The woman had the same problem with her son in the way that ______.| A．they both disabled people | | B．they both had some difficulty in expressing | | C．they both liked bus travel | | D．they both brought interest to the passengers |

When Julie was a child, she was a very big fan of animals. As a result, 36 she ever heard growing up was “Julie, you should be a vet. You’re going to be a great vet. That’s what you should do.” 37 when she got to the Ohio State University, she started studying to be a vet.
A scholarship allowed her to spend her 38 year studying abroad in Manchester, England. Away from the family 39 back home, she found herself one day sitting at her desk, surrounded by biology books and staring out the window, when it suddenly hit her: “I’m in total 40 . I don’t want to be a vet!”
41 she thought back over all the things she’d done in her life and what had made her happy. And then it hit her—it was all of the youth leadership conferences that she had volunteered 42 , and the communications and leadership courses she had taken as elective courses back at Ohio State. “How could I have been so 43 ? Here I am in my fourth year at school and just finally realizing I’m on the 44 path. I just never took the time to 45 it until now, ” she thought.
Inspired by her new 46 , Julie spent the rest of her year in England taking courses in communications and media studies. When 47 to Ohio State, she was eventually able to 48 the administration to let her create her own program in “leadership studies”, 49 it took her 2 years longer to finally graduate. She 50 to become a senior management consultant in leadership training and development for the Pentagon. She 51 founded a drug-prevention organization that 52 the message “Lead your own life with the skill and the 53 to say no.”
So, never live someone else’s 54 . If you limit your 55 only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want.
