I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real 1. He
had gone out of the study for some 2,
leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see 3 was on his desk. In the 4 was a small piece of paper on which were
written the5 “English Writing Prize: History Is a Series of
Biographies(人物传记).
”
A(n)6 boy would have avoided looking at the title as
soon as he saw the 7.

say, “I'm sorry but I 13 the title for the English Writing Prize on
your desk. You'll have to 14it. ”

things on his desk. 20 there must have been more behind it. Whatever
it was, it has become a good example of how a little mistake can trap you in a
more serious moral corner(道德困境).
