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 ___37___ in my records. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to __38___. “You’re lowering 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 false. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the ___41___ grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade ___42___ beca use all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being ___43___ in the future. And every time I tell this ___44___, some people agree with this remark.
But I can’t see how I could give good __45____ for worsening my mistake in grading by undermining 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 possibly give a student a gift of an__49___ grade?
I know ___50___ repo rting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like ___51___ extra change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up benefits as __52____ 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 co st-free would have ___55___him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

三、阅读理解
18. Whether it is elementary school, middle school, or high school in the United States,
there will always be an awards ceremony at the end of year. Though it varies from school to school, there are a few that are given by most schools across the nation.
The first one is given from grades 3 to 8 and it is the Honor Roll Award. In elementary and middle school, this award is used to recognize academic excellence. This award is also separated into two groups. A Honor Roll and A/B Honor Roll. It is given out at the end of a school year and students who receive all averages of a 93 or above (90 in some states) on a final report card receive an A Honor Roll, and students who have worked hard and receive an A/B Honor Roll. It is to reward students who have worked hard and received all A's or A's and B's.
In high school, this is changed a bit, but still can be classified as the same type of a award.
The difference is that instead of using the scale(等级) of 100, they use a grade point
average(GPA) based on a 4 point scale. They recognize students with a high GPA as "Honor Student”. If the students keep it up for all four years of high school, then they graduate with honors.
Another notable award is the President's Award for Educational Excellence. This is given by the President's Education Awards Program each year to students all over the United States. This award is offered to elementary school, middle school and high school students. To be eligible(有资格的) for this award, middle school and elementary school students must earn an average grade of 90 or above on a 109 point scale. High school students must have a GPA of at least 3.5. Students must also have a high score on a standardized test or have a recommendation from a teacher. Usually this award is given at the end of the year. It is a certificate with a signature from the president along with a letter of recognition.
However, many people confuse the President's Award for Educational Excellence with another award, the US presidential Scholars Program. Even though both have the
word“President”in the title, they are completely different awards. Where the President's Award for Educational Excellence is ly easy to achieve, the award form the Presidential Scholars Program is not. To earn the honor of being a Presidential Scholar, a student must be a high school senior last year of high school with outstanding standardized test score.
8. If in the most of the school in the US, a student in Grade 5 wants to get an A Honor Roll,
he/she must get all average of a(n)_____.
A. 93
B. 85
C. 90
D. 80
9. Form the passage we know that the students who __________ can graduate with honors.
A. keep up the grades of 100 in high school for more than one year
B. get average of 100 for all four years of high school
C. get a high GPA in high school for more than one year
D. are recognized as “Honor Students”for all four years of high school
10. If high school students are to win the President's Award for Educational Excellence, which of the following statements should be included?
A. An average grade of or above on a 100 point scale.
B. A recommendation form a teacher.
C. A GPA of at least 3.5 in a national standardized test.
D. a high school senior with outstanding standardized test score.
11. The best title for this passage may be “_______ ”.
A. Awards in elementary and middle schools
B. Awards in schools of the United States
C. How high schools reward their students
D. It's easy to win awards in schools
参考答案：
