When I was 15， I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. All the students nearly fell out of their chairs， laughing at me. “Dont be   1  . Only geniuses （天才） can become writers，” the English teacher said sarcastically （讽刺地）. “And you are getting a D this term.” I was hurt   2    and I cried sadly.

That night I wrote a short， sad poem about   3   dreams and mailed it to the Cappers weekly newspaper. To my surprise， they published it， and sent me two dollars. I was a （an）    4   writer！I showed my teacher and my classmates. They laughed again. “Just plain dumb luck （纯属侥幸），” the teacher said. However， Id tasted   5  .

They were dream killers， and if people must choose   7   their friends and their dreams， they must always choose their dreams.

However， an old nurse believed that little Anne had hope and asked to bring love to the girl. She went to see little Anne every day. The child ignored her in most cases. But the old nurse had never stopped seeing her every day. The kind-hearted lady left the cookies to little Anne and spoke words full of love and encouragement to her. She believed that as long as she showed love， little Anne could recover.

Finally， the doctor noticed the changes in little Anne. Then the last day came， and the child who seemed to be “hopeless” went out of the locked door of the mental hospital.

After she grew up， Anne Sullivan hoped to help others， just as the kind old nurse helped her. Then she met Helen Keller. She cared for her， trained her strictly， played with her and worked with her until she lit the candle that illuminating （照亮） the whole world. Anne Sullivan created a miracle （奇迹） in the life of Helen Keller. But first it was a kind nurse who had full confidence in little Anne and turned a hopeless child into a wonderful teacher.

The measure （衡量） of a mans real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

These words are from Thomas Macaulay， a famous English historian. Ill remember them all my life.

Some thirty years ago， I was studying in a public school in New York. One day， Mrs. Manette Oneill gave an arithmetic test to our class. When the papers were marked， she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.

There is nothing really new about cheating in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. Oneill didnt even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to remain after class. I was one of the twelve.

Mrs. Oneill asked no questions， and she didnt scold （责备） us either. Instead， she wrote on the blackboard the above words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise books one hundred times.

I dont know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself I can say： It was the most important single lesson of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulays words， they still seem to me the best yardstick （準绳）， because they give us a way to measure ourselves rather than others.

In our life， few of us are asked to make great decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called on daily to make a great many personal decisions. Should the wallet， found in the street， be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman？ Should the extra change received at the store be forgotten or returned？ Nobody will know except you. But you have to live with yourself， and it is always better to live with someone you respect.

（    ）6. From the passage， we know that Thomas Macaulays words means ______.

A. students shouldnt cheat in tests

B. people can do anything if others cant find out

C. people should be honest in anything they do

（    ）7. Why will the writer remember Mrs. Oneills words？

A. He can remember them very clearly by coping them one hundred times.

B. Mrs. Oneill is a very popular person.

C. The words mean much to him.

（    ）8. What probably happened when the boys had the arithmetic test？

A. They broke the windows.

B. They copied from each other.

C. They were late for the test.

（    ）9. What does the writer think of the way his teacher deal with the cheating？

A. Its helpful.        B. Its stupid.      C. Its strange.

（    ）10. According to the writer， which of the following is TRUE？

A. We should learn to make great decisions.

B. We can put the wallet into our pocket if we find it in the street.

C. We are supposed to do right things even if others will never know.
