【单选题】The measure of man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
—Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette O’Neill gave an arithmetic{{U}} (38) {{/U}}to our class. When the papers were{{U}} (39) {{/U}}she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the{{U}} (40) {{/U}}mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about{{U}} (41) {{/U}}in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill{{U}} (42) {{/U}}even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to{{U}} (43) {{/U}}after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O’Neill asked{{U}} (44) {{/U}}questions, and she didn’t{{U}} (45) {{/U}}us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the{{U}} (46) {{/U}}words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to{{U}} (47) {{/U}}these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t{{U}} (48) {{/U}}about the other eleven boys. Speaking for{{U}} (49) {{/U}}I can say. it was the most important single{{U}} (50) {{/U}}of my life. Thirty years after being{{U}} (51) {{/U}}to Macaulay’s words, they{{U}} (52) {{/U}}seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a{{U}} (53) {{/U}}to measure ourselves rather than others.
{{U}} (54) {{/U}}of us are asked to make{{U}} (55) {{/U}}decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle.But all of us are called{{U}} (56) {{/U}}daily to make a great many personal decisions.{{U}} (57) {{/U}}the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket{{U}} (58) {{/U}}turned over to the policeman Should the{{U}} (59) {{/U}}change received at the store be forgotten or{{U}} (60) {{/U}} Nobody will know except{{U}} (61) {{/U}}.But you have to live with yourself, and it is always{{U}} (62) {{/U}}to live with someone you respect.

网考网参考答案：C
网考网解析：
指自己日后受益匪浅的“教训”，incident与句子主语it一致，指这件事，但incident一词没有反映出下文作者所叙述的思想变化，故应排除。A、D两项与文意不符。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
