阅读下面两篇短文，掌握大意，然后从16～35各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
(A)
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 right，and after__16__him for his honesty，I changed the grade in my records.His beaming face turned to shock.“You're__17__my grade?”he said angrily.“I would never have come in if...”
It was obvious that his display of honesty was__18__.He thought he'd have it all-praise and the higher grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade__19__because all I'd accomplished was to discourage him from being honest in the future.
But I can't see how I could worsen my__20__in grading by undermining(损害)the honesty of all my grades by failing to correct an error.The grade itself would be a dishonest__21__of his knowledge and it would have been__22__to other students.
I know__23__reporting an error in one's favor is unusual，but，like__24__too much change，it's clearly the right thing to do.For people with real honesty，a good conscience and reputation is__25__enough for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student's grade did__26__him from being honest in the future，but bribing(贿赂)him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it's cost?free would have__27__him even more.The duty to be honest is about right and wrong，not risks and rewards.
