We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been cut down by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our
31
, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid
32
problems in the future. Making ethical (伦理的)decisions is a(n)
33
part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can’t see the risks we’re taking, we can’t make responsible choices. To
34
risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn’t know the rules about plagiarism (剽窃) may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as
35
. But the fact that such a violation is “unintentional” does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a
36
. Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they’re taking by using excuses: “Everyone else does it,” “I’m not hurting anyone,” or “I really need this grade.” Excuses can get very complex: “I know I’m looking at another’s exam, even though I’m supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that’s not
37
because I’m just checking my answers, not copying.” We must be honest about our actions, and
38
excuses. If we fool ourselves into
39
we’re not doing anything wrong, we can’t see the real choice we’re making--and that leads to bad decisions. To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or
40
of your actions? If you’d rather hide your actions, that’s a good indication that you’re taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.

K. confident Puppy Dog Eyes Are for the Benefits of Humans Dogs make puppy dog eyes for the benefit of humans and rarely use the pleasing facial expression when on their own, a new study has shown. It has long been assumed that animal facial expressions are involuntary and dependent on emotional state rather than a way to communicate. But scientists at the University’s Dog Cognition Centre at Portsmouth University have found that dogs mostly use facial expressions when humans are present, as a direct response to attention. Puppy dog eyes, in which the
31
is raised to make the eyes appear wider and sadder, was found to be the most
32
used expression in the study. Researchers do not know whether the dogs are aware they look sadder, or have just learned that widening their eyes invites
33
and
affection in humans. Dog cognition expert Dr Juliane Kaminski: “We can now be
34
that the production of facial expressions made by dogs are dependent on the attention state of their audience and are not just a result of dogs being excited.” “In our study they produced far more expressions when someone was watching, but seeing food
35
did not have the same effect.” “The findings appear to support evidence dogs are
36
to humans’ attention and that expressions are
37
active attempts to communicate, not simple emotional displays.” The researchers studied 24 dogs of various breeds, aged one to 12. All were family pets. Each dog was tied by a lead a metre away from a person, and the dogs’ faces were
38
throughout a
range of exchanges, from the person being oriented towards the dog, to being distracted and with her body turned away from the dog. They found that when a human was not watching the animal, they ____39____expressions facial. Dr Kaminski said it is possible that dogs’ expressions have evolved as they were ____40____. “Domestic dogs have a unique history-they have lived alongside humans for 30,000 years and during that time selection pressures seem to have acted on dogs’ ability to communicate with us,” she said.
