【正确答案】
【答案解析】[范文]
As is shown in the picture, you see the true face in the mirror if you show is without any deception; otherwise, you will be the one who gets cheated at last by showing the mirror a mask. Without any doubt, for any wise person or any enterprise, honesty is the best policy.
But honesty is becoming an urgent issue now. For example, after officially joining the WTO, China is engaging in revising particular laws and regulations. Some short-sighted companies see in this shifting period an opportunity to make huge profits by making and selling fake commodities. While some firms are grateful in having adequate time to enhance their credibility for more fierce international competition in the future. The former ones will cook their own goose simply because the arms of laws are long, which can be proved by the credit crisis of the Wall Street last year. The latter ones are really rational, for they know honesty is rewarding though painfully sought. Tney also know honesty is necessary for the WTO rules and finally customers will only favor highly credible companies.
However, honesty is not merely a matter of morality. Dishonest companies will not suddenly feel conscience-smitten until staring disaster in the face. Laws and rules, instead of anything else, are the only effective means to ensure the prevalence of honesty. After all, you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.
