I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real
21 .
He had gone out of the study for some
22 , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see what was on his
23 . In the
24 was a small piece of paper on which were written the
25 “English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies (人物传记)”.
A(n)
26 boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the
27 . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a
28 until the start of the exam so I could not
29 reading it.
When the headmaster
30 , I was looking out of the window.
I should have told him what had
31 then. It would have been so
32 to say: “I’m sorry, but I
33 the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to
34 it.”
The chance passed and I did not take it. I sat for the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t mean to cheat, but it was still
35 anyhow.
That was thirty-eight years ago when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, nor have I tried to explain to myself why not.
