27、

During the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), there was a government official named Yang Zhen.

One day, Yang ran into his old coworker Wang Mi during a trip.

In the past, Yang noticed Wang’s talent and promoted (提拔) him.

Wang never forgot Yang’s help and invited Yang to stay over for the night.

It was near midnight when Wang knocked on the door of Yang’s bedroom. He handed Yang a bag and said, “This is to thank you for teaching me and helping me become who I am today.” Yang looked in the bag. It was full of gold ingots (金锭).

“Do I look like a person who accepts bribes (贿赂)? I thought you knew me well!” Yang said angrily.

“It’s late at night. No one will know if we keep it a secret.” said Wang.

“What do you mean no one would know? Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know and I know.” Yang said.

Wang left the room in shame.

What do we learn from it?

Yang Zhen was an honest and just person both in front of others and when he was alone. His virtue (美德) of shendu(慎独), or self-restraint, made him a great government official.

The idea of self-restraint was important in ancient China. For example, the book Dizigui teaches children to “enter an empty house as if it was occupied (入虚室, 如有人) ”. This means that even when nobody is watching, you should behave as if there are others nearby. If you can’t keep your rules and do bad things in secret, it may lead you down a troubled path.

This story is 2,000 years old. But the lesson is still important today. In 2017, President Xi Jinping told this story at an important meeting. He asked government officials to be free from corruption (腐败). But as students, you should also keep this lesson in mind. Will you save food when no one is watching? Will you be careful with the language you use on social media? We should often ask: am I still a moral (道德的) person when I’m alone?

【1】Yang Zhen promoted Wang Mi because ________ .

A．he knew Wang was talented

B．he wanted to thank Wang for his help

C．Wang was his old coworker

D．Wang lived a poor life

【2】We might describe Yang as being ________ .

A．two-faced

B．shameless

C．silly

D．just

【3】Why was Yang angry with Wang?

A．Because Wang gave his secrets away.

B．Because he found Wang wasn’t talented.

C．Because he found Wang accepted bribes.

D．Because Wang tried to bribe him.
