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 to our class. When the papers were , she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about in exams. Perhaps that was Mrs. O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs. O’Neill asked questions, and she didn’t us, either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for I can say: it was the most important single of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they seem to me the best yardstick (准绳) now because they give us a way to ourselves rather than others.
of us are asked to make decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called daily to make a great many personal decisions.Shouldthe wallet, in the street, be put into a pocket or to the policeman? Should the change received at the store be forgotten or ? Nobody will know exceptyou. But you have to live with yourself, and it is alwaysbetter to live with someone you respect.

The story I'm going to tell truly happened in my life.
