The world would be a better place if we all had children’s eyes. This is not because children’s eyes are too sharp to allow any blot（污点，瑕疵）to pass without being   36  , but because adults have too many conflicting concerns to keep their eyes open to all wrongdoing.
Not long before, an examination, intended to   37   some police officers to higher positions, was held in Gansu province. Someone   38   with a good idea that 18 primary pupils could be invited to act as invigilators (监考人).

Adults have become too concerned with their own personal gains to   51   basic sense of principles. When no one   52   any principle and the only concern is personal interest, everyone will   53  , not only those who first break the rules.
Besides, cheats are unfair to honest examinees, and when the success of cheats   54   more people to cheat, the consequences will be disastrous.
In a word, we adults need to have our eyes as   55   as children’s on matters of principle.

A
When I was struggling with cancer a few years ago, my wife and I formed our own “couple caution circle”. Anytime a doctor came with news of my progress, my wife would give me a big hug. The reports were seldom good during the early stages of my illness, and one day a doctor brought particularly frightening news. Staring at my reports, he said in a low voice, “It doesn’t look like you’re going to make it.”
Before I could ask him a question, my wife stood up, handed me my clothes, adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said, “Let’s get out of here. This man is a risk to your health. ” As she helped me struggle to the door, the doctor came near us. “Stay back,” demanded my wife. “Stay away from us.”
As we walked together down the hall, the doctor attempted to catch up with us “Keep going,” said my wife, pushing the intravenous（静脉注射的）stand. “We’re going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on.” Then she held up her hand to the doctor. “Don’t come any closer to us.”
