Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more  31  waiting for the final school bell. Upon its   32  everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David
David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often  33 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 34 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David   35  . I can still remember he was always  36 a smile and willing to help. He always  37 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He  38  just smile and ask what else he could do ,then thank me for letting him stay and slowly  39 home.
Weeks passed and the  40  over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of  41 before the holiday break. I smiled in  42  as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David 43 standing by my desk.  
“I have something for you” he said and   44 from behind his back a small box.  45   it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it. ”I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 46  saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said. “The box is nice, David, but it’ s  47 .
“ Oh no it isn’t ,” said David “ It’s full of love, my mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there .”
Tears filled my eyes  48  Ilooked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given  49  to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 50 the little empty box set on my desk.

Gregory Olsen is not an astronaut. He is a 60-year-old businessman from New Jersey where he owned his successful technology company. This week, however, Olsen became the world’s third non-astronaut to pay for a trip into space.
On Monday, the Russian-built Soyuz rocket, carrying Olsen, an American astronaut and a Russian astronaut, docked (对接) at the International Space Station (ISS).
Olsen’s wish has come true. He is the third “space tourist” in four years to travel on a Russian craft to the space station. American Dennis Tito and South African Mark Shuttleworth have both made round trips to the ISS. Going into space is not easy, however. Olsen has worked hard for two years to prepare for it.
The Russian Federal Space Agency offers an ISS trip to anyone who can afford it and pass the necessary training. Olsen reportedly paid $20 million for his trip. The Russian space program has been short of money in recent years and is looking for individuals interested in space travel to _________.
NASA(美国宇航局)has relied on the Russian space program and its Soyuz capsule(太空舱)to transport American astronauts to the ISS since the Columbia space shuttle disaster in 2003. The space shuttle Discovery (发现号宇宙飞船)made a flight earlier this year, but the program stopped halfway because of safety concern. So far, the Russians have not charged the U.S. for trips to the ISS. That may change by the end of the year.
As one of the few space tourists, Olsen focuses his attention on the glory of traveling in space.

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 41 and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my  42  . His beaming(欢笑的)face turned to shock."You"re  43  my grade?" he said angrily."I would never have come in  44  …"
He didn"t finish the  45_ , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was  46_ .He thought he"d have it all —praise and the higher grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade 47  because all I"d accomplished was to discourage him from being  48 in the future.And every time I tell this story, some people agree to this   49 
But I can"t see how I could give good reason for worsening my_ 50  in grading by undermining(损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to  51 an error.The grade itself would be a dishonest  52  of his knowledge and it would have been 53 to other students.How could I  54 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know 55 reporting an error in one"s favor is unusual, but, like 56_ too much change, it"s clearly the right thing to do.People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up  57 as much as anyone else.The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is  58 
enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student"s grade did  59 him from being honest in the future, but bribing(贿赂)him to be honest so that he does the right thing when its cost-free would have   60 him even more.The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.
