It was not long before Woolworth realized that he had a natural skill(天賦) for displaying goods(商品) to attract the customers’(顧客)   3  , but he also learned something more important later．One day his boss(老板) told him to sell some odds and ends(小商品) for as much as he could get．A fresh idea came into his mind．He put all these goods on one table with a sign, it   4  : FIVE CENTS EACH．Seeing this, people pushed to buy the goods and the   5   was soon cleared．

Soon after that, Woolworth opened his own store, selling five and ten cents．This is the   6   of the famous "five and ten store"．But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful．That is, if you want to make    7   by selling goods at a low price, you have to buy them in large number directly from the factory．For example, Woolworth once went to Germany and placed an order for knives．The order was so large that the factory had to    8   running 24 hours a day for a whole year．In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half．

By 1919, Woolworth had over l,000    9   in the USA and Canada, and opened his first store in London．He made many millions, and his name became famous throughout (遍及)    10  ．He always ran his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT．"

The story told to all American children about honesty(誠實) is about the cherry tree(櫻桃樹) that President George Washington cut when he was a boy．When his father returned home, he asked George if he knew anything about who cut the tree down．George replied, "Father, I can not tell a lie．It was I who cut down the cherry tree．"

In China, every child knows the story of Lei Feng, the young soldier who helped everyone and was very honest．The stories of George Washington and Lei Feng help us understand the importance of being honest．

Every teacher wants his or her students to be honest．If every student can be honest in their childhood, they will be honest when they become adults(成年人)．The country will then be known as an honest country and it will be respected(尊敬，尊重) by everyone．

Usually, it is the father and the mother who give the first lessons of honesty．George Washington learned honesty from his father．

A favorite Chinese story is about a young man who went to the market to buy food for his mother．There was a very young girl there who was selling flowers．The young man was asked to see and smell one flower and when the girl served another person, the young man stole the flower．

When he went home, he began to think what he had done．He went back to the market to see the girl．He told her that he was sorry and that he wanted to pay for the flower．

The little girl refused and said, "You do not need to pay for the flower, elder brother．Since you took it I thought you had a reason to take it．So I did not worry, about receiving money for it．"

The young man was ashamed(羞愧) that he stole the flower．He never forgot the kind-hearted peasant girl．To him it was a strong personal lesson and he could never forget about the importance of being honest．
