Room 302 · Made by the class, not by the teacher
We wrote these rules in September after a long talk, not after a speech from anybody about what makes a class easy to be in. Everybody had to agree to every line, so it took two afternoons.
These rules are not about being good. They are about being able to work beside each other for a year. We will read them again in January and change any line that has stopped being useful.
302 教室 · 由全班訂定，不是老師訂的
我們九月時經過一場長談，而不是聽了誰的演講，討論什麼樣的班級讓人待得自在，才寫下這些規則。每一條都必須全班同意，所以花了兩個下午。
這些規則不是為了要我們當好人。它們是為了讓我們能在彼此身邊工作一整年。我們一月會再讀一次，把已經沒用的條文改掉。
Dear Mrs. Kao,
You asked us to write about a classmate who should get the character prize. I choose Lin Wei.
Wei is not the top student and he never speaks in class. But he is the one who stays behind on Friday to put the chairs back, and he does it whether or not anybody is watching. When Ming lost his textbook in May, Wei gave him his own for three weeks and told nobody.
I know the prize often goes to a student with high marks. I am not saying Wei should win because he is kind and quiet. I am saying that what he does takes more work than it looks like, and that nobody has ever thanked him for it.

親愛的高老師：
您要我們寫出一位應該獲得品格獎的同學。我選林偉。
偉不是成績最好的學生，上課也從不發言。但他是星期五留下來把椅子排回去的那個人，而且不管有沒有人在看他都照做。五月明弄丟課本時，偉把自己的借給他三個星期，而且沒有告訴任何人。
我知道這個獎常常頒給成績高的學生。我不是說偉應該得獎是因為他善良又安靜。我是說，他做的事比看起來更費力，而且從來沒有人為此謝過他。

Most people are honest when somebody is watching. The interesting question is what happens in an empty room.
In one famous test, a shop left a box of coffee with a price list and no person at the desk. On weeks when a picture of eyes was placed above the box, people paid nearly three times as much as on weeks with a picture of flowers. Nobody in the shop knew why they paid more.
This is not a sad fact about people. It shows that honesty is not only a thing inside us; it is something a place can make simple or hard. If we want a school or a town where people behave well, we should spend less time asking who is good, and more time building rooms where being good is the simple choice.
多數人在有人看著的時候都是誠實的。有趣的問題是：在一個空房間裡會發生什麼事。
在一項有名的實驗中，商店放了一箱咖啡與一張價目表，櫃檯沒有人。在箱子上方放著眼睛圖片的那幾週，人們付的錢幾乎是掛花朵圖片那幾週的三倍。店裡沒有人知道自己為什麼付得比較多。
這並不是關於人性的悲傷事實。它顯示誠實不只是我們心裡的東西，也是一個環境可以讓它變容易或變難的事。如果我們想要一所學校或一個城鎮讓人表現良好，我們該少花時間問誰是好人，多花時間打造「做好事最容易」的環境。
