Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about an overseas student living in Germany.

After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing     1    . Everyone thought he was going to get a good     2     easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the chance for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn’t help telephoning the company to ask why they didn’t want him. The answer was     3     “We don’t offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany.”

What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was easy to skip buying subway tickets. So     4     save money, he often went without a ticket.     5    , he had been caught without a ticket in the subway 4 times.
