What do you enjoy doing with your family?
When Jim was 11 years old, he often went fishing with his father on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before the bass (鲈鱼)season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening.
Suddenly, Jim’s fishing rod doubled over and he felt something huge on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skilfully pulled a fish from the water. The fish was indeed very large, but it was a bass.
Read the story about an unforgettable moment between a father and his son.
Jim and his father looked at the handsome fish in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10:00 p.m. — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said. “Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.
Jim looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around. He looked again at his father. No one had seen them. It was a shame to let go of the fish, but Jim understood what he had to do. He slowly removed the hook from the mouth of the huge fish and lowered it into the black water. The creature shook its powerful body and disappeared.
That was 34 years ago. Jim has never again caught such an amazing fish. But he does see that same fish every time he comes up against a question of ethics. For, as his father taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult. Do we do right when no one is looking?
We would if we were taught to “put the fish back” when we were young. The decision to do right lives fresh in our memory. It is a story we will proudly tell our grandchildren. It is not about how we had a chance to cheat and took it, but about how we did the right thing and were forever strengthened.

Deep understanding
2 Read the story again and answer the questions below.
(1)What does “the bass season” mean?
It is the time when people are allowed to catch bass legally. People cannot catch bass before this season opens.
When Jim was 11 years old, he often went fishing with his father on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before the bass (鲈鱼)season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening.
(2)Why did Jim’s father ask him to put the fish back?
It was still two hours before the bass season opened, so it was against the rules to keep the bass. His father wanted Jim to follow the rules and do the right thing.
Jim and his father looked at the handsome fish in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10:00 p.m. — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said. “Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.
(3)How did Jim feel about putting the fish back at first? Why?
He felt upset and unwilling. Because the bass was huge and amazing, and he knew he might never catch such a big fish again.
“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.
Jim looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around. He looked again at his father. No one had seen them. It was a shame to let go of the fish, but Jim understood what he had to do. He slowly removed the hook from the mouth of the huge fish and lowered it into the black water. The creature shook its powerful body and disappeared.
(4)What does the writer mean by “he does see that same fish every
time he comes up against a question of ethics”?
Every time Jim faces a choice between right and wrong, he will think of this experience. The big bass reminds him of the lesson about ethics his father taught him.
That was 34 years ago. Jim has never again caught such an amazing fish. But he does see that same fish every time he comes up against a question of ethics. For, as his father taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult. Do we do right when no one is looking?
(5)What important lesson did Jim's father teach him that evening?
Ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. We should stick to the right rules and do the right thing even when nobody is watching.

Your ideas
3 Discuss the questions below.
(1)What does the title “Catch of a lifetime” mean?
It has two meanings. First, the huge bass was the biggest and most amazing fish Jim had ever caught in his life. Second, the experience of returning the fish became the most valuable lifelong lesson about morality, which was the real "catch" he gained forever.
(2)What can we learn from the story?
We should always stick to what is right and follow rules, even when no one is watching us. Doing the right thing is more important than our own desire, and honesty and self-discipline are precious life lessons.

3 Write about an unforgettable moment you shared with your parents. Use the expressions below.
Every time ... fresh in one's memory
Matters of right and wrong with admiration
It is not about. but about …
Every time I meet difficult choices in life, a sweet moment with my parents is still fresh in my memory.
It happened on a quiet winter afternoon. I accidentally broke my neighbor’s window when playing outside. I wanted to hide my mistake because no one saw me. However, my parents patiently talked with me about matters of right and wrong. They did not blame me but looked at me with admiration when I decided to apologize on my own. We went to the neighbor’s house together and corrected my mistake bravely.
This simple experience taught me a lifelong lesson. It is not about avoiding trouble for ourselves, but about being honest and responsible whenever we make mistakes. From then on, I always choose to do the right thing and never give up my principles.
