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
and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the
in my records. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to
“You’re lowering my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in
……”
He didn’t finish the
but it was obvious that his display of honesty was false. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the
grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade stand
all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being
in the future. And every time I tell this
, some people agree with this remark.
But I can’t see how I could give good
for worsening my mistake in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to
an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest reflection of his
and it would have been
to other students. How could I possibly give a
a gift of an unearned grade?
I know voluntarily reporting an error in one’s favor is
, but, like
extra change, it’s the
thing to do. People with real honesty, hate to give up benefits as mush as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is reward enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps
the student’s grade did discourage 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
him even more. The duty to be honest is
right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

人生感悟类阅读的概念：
生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。 生活感悟类阅读解题指导：
一、文章特点：
生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。
二、解题技巧：
针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
