I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about a student who studied in Germany.

After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone was sure that he was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to his surprise, 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 simple. “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(逃票) buying subway tickets in this country. So in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket many times.

From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will com out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the best rule.

1.Did the student often buy a ticket when he took the subway?

_________________________________________

2.Where did the student study?

__________________________________________

3.According to the passage, what is the best rule?
