In a national spelling contest in America,an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her  31  voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and  32  decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now,the girl knew she had  33  the word. But instead of lying,she told the truth that she had said the  34  letter. So she lost the contest.
    As the girl walked off the  35 ,the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her 36  .

She knew she would have to live with herself and the  46  she made in that moment will have long-lasting influence.
    It's so true that the choices you make today  47  what you are tomorrow. Our children will  48  our behavior much more than our advice. So if we want them to  49  to be honest,we must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember,our kids are  50  what we do and how we live even when we don't think they see or know.

“No, ma’am,” I with my head down.

It’s been so long that I can’t remember the crime, but I’ll never forget the punishment: Dig up the fig tree (无花果) in the backyard and plant it at Mumsy’s place in the country. As I often did when appointed to do a hard job in the garden, I this was my parents’ way of getting me to do their dirty work.
It was a Sunday morning. With some tools, I went at the tree, dismantling (拆卸) it branch by branch and limb by limb, until all that remained of the once-proud specimen was a sorry-looking stump of a thing.

Watching him slide a bowl of figs from the fridge one morning, I felt a sudden stab of shame for my boyhood . My father took a fig from the bowl and let me think of the fruit as forgiveness. “You,” he said, “ some of that.”
