Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing."

　　And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary (直接推论) to that:　if a good excuse is“good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?

　　1. According to the passage, which of the following seems the most human?

　　A. To search for truth.

　　B. To achieve one’s ideal.

　　C. To make fun of others’ mistakes.

　　D. To criticize others for one’s own error.

　　2. According to the author, what is a sign of a man’s maturity?

　　A. Doing things his own way.

　　B. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.
