第二节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分)
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 21 and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my 22 . His beaming(欢笑的） face turned to shock．"You're 23 my grade?" he said angrily．"I would never have come in 24 ．．．"
He didn't finish the 25_ ,but it was obvious that his display of honesty was 26_ ．He thought he'd have it all —praise and the higher grade．
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade 27 because all I'd accomplished was to discourage him from being 28 in the future．And every time I tell this story, some people agree to this 29 ．
But I can't see how I could give good reason for worsening my _30 in grading by undermining(损害） the honesty of all my grades by failing to 31 an error．The grade itself would be a dishonest 32 of his knowledge and it would have been 33 to other students．How could I 34 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?

I know 35 reporting an error in one's favor is unusual, but, like 36_ too much change, it's clearly the right thing to do．People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up 37 as much as anyone else．The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is 38 enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing．
Perhaps lowering the student's grade did 39 him from being honest in the future, but bribing（贿赂） him to be honest so mat he does the right thing when it's cost-free would have 40 him even more．The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards．
