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   36 , and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my   37 . His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. “You’re   38 my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in   39 ……”
He didn’t finish the   40 , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was   41 . He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade   42 because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being   43 in the future. And every time I tell this story some people agree with this   44 .
But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my   45 in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to   46 an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest   47 of his knowledge and it would have been   48 to other students. How could I   49 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know 50 reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like   51 too much change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up 52_ as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is _53 enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did   54 him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have _55
him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

23   they entered the classroom．The professor passed out the papers．And smiles   24   on the students' faces as they noted there were only five questions．
Three hours had passed   25   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 26   faces before him, and then asked, "How many completed all five questions?"__27__a hand was raised．
"How many answered four?" Still no hands．
"Three? Two?" The students moved restlessly in their seats．
"One, then? Certainly somebody finished   28  ．"But the class remained silent．
The professor put down the papers．"That is exactly what I   29 ．" he said．"I just want to impress upon you that,   30   you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the   31   you don't know．These questions you couldn't answer are relatively   32   in everyday practice．" Then smiling, he added, "You will all   33   this course, but remember —even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 34．"
The years have   35   the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught．
