请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
I knew I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real 36  .
He had gone out of the study for some   37  , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see   38  was on his desk. In the   39  was a small piece of paper on which were written the   40  "English Writing Prize 1949: History Is a Series of Biographies (人物传记)".
A(n)   41  boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the   42  . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a   43  until the start of the exam so I could not   44  reading it.
When the headmaster 诸葛亮 薛凯琪>华晨宇 山海  45  , I was looking out of the window.
I should have told him what had 46  then. It would have been so  47  to say: "I'm sorry but I   48 the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You'll have to 49  it."
The chance passed and I did not   50  it. I sat the exam the next day and I won. I didn't  51  to cheat, but it was still cheating anyhow.
That was thirty-eight years   52  when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before,   53  have I tried to explain to myself why not.
The obvious explanation is that I could not admit I had seen the title 54  admitting that I had been looking at the things on his desk.   55  there must have been more behind it. Whatever it was, it has become a good example of how a little mistake can trap (使陷入) you in a more serious moral corner (道德困境).
