Four teenage boys were the only ones at the park when I arrived.

4 . I am excited to be teaching in an introductory history seminar (研讨班) on the world of Thomas Jefferson. It affords a(n) ________ chance to help show students why history is a way of thinking, seeing, and understanding.

I love seeing students try to make ________ of somebody from the 18th century, whether it is Jefferson or somebody whose life was closely ________ with his own. Often, students at first are confident that they ________ an 18th-century person, and that such an individual was inspired by the same things that ________ them today. But then, when I ________ certain things this historical figure said or did, students are often amazed at how ________ the person in fact is, and how unusual the individual’s assumptions, beliefs, and desires are ________ to their own!

With more ________, they begin to see how the peculiar (奇怪的) can appear ________, how the strange can, in fact, seem so appropriate.

5 . “Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching,” Thomas Jefferson said. Never envisioned that two centuries later, the whole world would be watching indeed.

From license-plate cameras to secret videotapes, from white-hat hacking to social media checks by employers, never have Americans been so ___________. We’ve become a Santa Claus society year-round: that is, they see us when we’ re sleeping and they know when we’ re awake. So will this make us ___________for goodness sake?

Jefferson presumed that if the world were watching, people would behave better; we would strive to be our ___________selves. And there is ___________that he is right. A few years ago, Scientific American reported on a study at Newcastle University in England, in which subjects behaved better when there were no real eyes, but posters with images of eyes in the room. Even the ___________of being watched, it turned out, persuaded people into more ethical behavior. In other settings, posters with watching eyes ___________bike thieves and encouraged people to clean up after themselves at lunch.

When my youngest daughter was three years old and unable to grasp that she could be seen even if she closed her eyes, she’d cover her eyes with her hands and shriek “Don’t see me!” When I’d ___________her doing something wrong, like a good comedian, she conveyed a ___________hidden behind a laugh.

To feel shame, and to instinctually try to conceal it, requires a(n) ___________base on which we can build.

___________there will always be among us miserably broken people who purposefully seek sunlight for their evil deeds. The prospect of the whole world watching does not discourage, but in fact, ___________their kind, and even as a society of watchers compels others to behave better, they will behave worse. For them, publicity is a motive, and the threat of punishment—whether by immediate exposure or eventual judgment by an angry God—is ___________.

Ultimately, however, morality is shaped not by either invisibility or exposure, but by personal ___________. We would do better to place our hope not in more speed cameras and “ethical” hackers, but in the more difficult work of ___________strong values. As C. S Lewis so powerfully observed about the ___________of a truly ethical life: “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one else is watching.”
