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___ because 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 (损害) 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___ reporting 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 cost-free would have ___55___him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

36. A. wise B. right C. rigid D. angry

三、阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

As we all know, getting benched in sports is usually a bad thing. But at one school in Florida, a girl has taken a bench and turned it into something entirely different – a place to find friends. It’s called the Friendship Bench. And it’s the brainchild of a sixth grader at Palm Bay Elementary – a girl named Acacia Woodley.

Acacia’s attitude toward life might be summed up best by a question she recently asked members of the Brevard County School Board – “what if we spend as much time putting the spotlight on kindness as we do on cruelty?” It’s a philosophy Acacias has learned to live her own life -despite having a lot of people would consider a handicap. She was born without a right hand. And her left hand did not form properly. But Acacia says that she has not stopped her from achieving her goals. “You need to believe in your dreams. If you don’t believe in you dreams, I can definitely tell you that they are not going to come true.” She said.

Acacia came up with the idea for the Friendship Bench after seeing kids getting bullied at school. She says she has also experienced bullying herself – kids whispering about her or picking on her because she is different. “Some people say they feel sorry for me. I tell them not to,” she said. “I don’t care that I’m different. I like being different.”

The Friendship Bench looks like a lot of other benches. It has arm sets and a place to lean on. But there are also words painted on it – words such as “hope”, “respect”, “listen” and “dream”. Acacia put the benches together with the help from her mother and brother.

Any time a kid feels he or she needs a friend, all that kid needs to do is sit on the bench. It is then up to the other kids – or grown-ups – to fill that need. “It’s a perfect idea,” Palm Bay Elementary Principal Lori said. “It’s something we’ve needed so badly.”

The Friendship Bench has been such a success at Palm Bay Elementary that other schools are now interested in installing one too. “There’s a saying in my teacher’s classroom,” Acacia said. “It says, ‘it you can dream it, you can achieve it.’”
