题目内容:
In a national spelling contest in America, an 11yearold girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her ________ voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and ________ decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had ________ the word. But instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the ________ letter—so she lost the contest.
As the girl walked off the ________, the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her ________. Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11yearold girl’s honesty, even when it ________ her the contest. But the fact is that she ________ the biggest contest that day—the contest of her ________.

It’s been said, “If you ________, you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and ________enough to prize her own conscience and character rather than the prize from a spelling ________. Her respect for herself was more important than any ________ others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the ________ she made in that moment will have longlasting influence.
It’s so true that the choices you make today ________ what you are tomorrow. Our children will ________ our behavior much more than our advice.
