填空题{{B}} Article one:{{/B}} Point out stereotypes and cultural misinformation depicted in movies, TV shows, computer games and other media. Challenge bias when it comes from friends and family members. Do not let the moment pass. Begin with a qualified statement: "Andrew just called people of XYZ faith 'lunatics'. What do you think about that, Zoe?" Let children do most of the talking.{{B}} Article Two:{{/B}} For teens, group identity is critical. Remind them, however, that:A. Pride in our own group does not mandate disrespect for other groups;B. Our group does not deserve privileges not available to other groups;C. Other groups have just as much humanity as do ours; andD. We should avoid putting other groups down as a way to elevate the status of our own group.{{B}} Article Three:{{/B}} Look critically at how a child defines" normal". Expand the definition. Attend religious services at a variety of houses of worship. Visit playgrounds where a variety of children are present — people of different races/ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, family structures, etc. Encourage a child to spend time with elders — grandparents, for example...{{B}} Article Four:{{/B}} A child who is concerned about world hunger can volunteer at a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter. The earlier children interact with the community, the better. This will help convey the lesson that we are not islands unto ourselves.{{B}} Article Five:{{/B}} As a parent and as your child's primary role model, be consistent in how you treat others. For example, how do you handle emotional issues with girls and boys? Do you attempt to distract crying boys but reassure crying girls? Does your voice take on a different tone with one group of people? Remember, you may say, "Do as I say, not as I do." but actions really do speak louder than words. In a country, indeed a world of increasing diversity, tolerance isn't just a nice quality to have; it's an essential one. {{B}}Statements{{/B}} A. Model the behavior you would like to see. B. Support your children when they are the victims of intolerance. C. Foster a healthy understanding of group identities. D. Challenge intolerance when it comes from your children. E. Identify intolerance when children are exposed to it. F. Create opportunities for children to interact with people who are different from them. G. Encourage children to call upon community resources.

填空题 {{B}}P. Howard:{{/B}} Every day thousands of people in Asia and Africa die of starvation. Millions more suffer from malnutrition and disease. All this misery could be prevented if the rich nations kept their promise to provide one per-cent of their annual Gross National Product in assistance to developing countries. Last year they gave on average less than 0.4%. That isn't much, is it? Obviously they could have give more than that, and they certainly should have played a more important role in doing this.{{B}}J. Adams:{{/B}} There are poor people in our own country. We should take care of them before we start giving money to foreigners. In this city we have 20,000 home-less families, 4,000 sick or disabled people. There is no point in squander our precious money. Let the rich princes and the corrupt dictators of Africa take care of their own people. It's nothing to do with us. Why should we be responsible for their wrongdoing? Why should we be supposed to look after their people?{{B}}D. Graham:{{/B}} A few years ago there was a terrible famine in the countries bordering the Sahara Desert. Thousands of people died. They could have been saved if a few dams had been built to collect water during the raining season. They've been asking for help for years, but they never got it. Why is it that the rich countries can afford to develop supersonic aircraft, space shuttles and rockets and nuclear weapons powerful enough to destroy the whole world, and yet they can't afford to build a few dams that could save thousands of lives? I simply don't understand this. The developed countries throw away millions of money into their space projects, and they even grudged just a little money for the poor people. In America, people die of heart diseases from overeating. How call they imagine starvation? Most American dogs eat more and better than the children in Bangladesh. American farmers destroy surplus food in order to keep the prices high. Nobody will pay to send it to people who are dying of starvation. They just don't care. Why could things be so different for people in the developing countries? They are also human beings, aren't they?{{B}}H. Wilson:{{/B}} I got what I have by hard work and sacrifice. It's about time the poor countries learned to do the same. They could build huge manufacturing industries if the people were prepared to work instead of begging. Their main problem is over-population. Whose fault is that? When beggars are allowed to have ten children, how can a poor country expect to develop? When you first have so many mouths to feed, how can you think of better housing and good education system. They have got too many problems.{{B}}P. Mombo:{{/B}} For hundreds of years we were exploited by colonialism. Our men were taken as slaves, our natural resources were stolen, our industries were suppressed. As a result of these, Europe and North America became rich and we have nothing. Now it's time to repay the debt. We must be given money to build export industries and to develop our farms. We can take care of ourselves if we are given a fair chance. I have complete faith in my people. They are honest and hard working if only can they stand a chance to start. {{B}}Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements{{/B}}[A] We were exploited in the past and now the rich nations should pay their debt.[B] People in the developing countries should build huge manufacturing industries.[C] People are getting too fat in America because they eat too much food and suffer from over-nutrition.[D] What we should consider first is our own problems at home.[E] The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer simply because the rich don't care about the poor.[F] The rich nations failed to keep their promise to give 1% of their annual Gross National Product in assistance to developing countries, causing serious problem there.[G] I made myself a success through hard work. Begging for money does not really help the poor countries.

填空题Bob: It's worth reflecting on the extraordinary appeal of the Harry Potter epic. Rowling's triumph, years in the making, is constructed with the elements of classic myth-based stories of the past, from the Greek myths themselves through The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. The themes come down to the struggle between good and evil, and the choices one makes. They are overlaid with Harry's disorderly passage from childhood through adolescence to maturity. Cheney: Despite thousands of security fees, spoilers on the Internet have posted copies. "We haven't read the book yet, and even if we had, we wouldn't join the spoilers." The media's willingness to play along with the entertainment industry by voluntarily withholding information about plot points in movies and books is amusing. What ever happened to "the public's right to know?" Hawki: The Big Question has long hovered over the series: Does Harry live or die? Deriving from those myths and conventions, the resolution would seem to require a face-off between Harry and the evil Lord Voldemort in which one of the two must die. And Harry, in the face-off, must risk all. Under one scenario, Harry might have to die to save the forces of good. Another possibility is that he might win but lose his wizard powers (playing off a favorite theme in children's literature, in which adults lose the magical perceptions of childhood). In any event the end must be unambiguous. Julesverne: The excitement for this book is great for the kids that weren't keen readers before J.K. Rowling came to be recognized. However, if we got half as excited about the inefficiencies in the education system, homelessness, corporate greed, the war in Iraq and crooked politicians that continue to give themselves raises year after year we could solve a lot more problems other than giving J.K. Rowling and her publisher more money to put in their money savings. Equern: Regardless of Harry's fate, the ultimate achievement of the books is that they're destined to be in the ranks of attractive classics. Ten or twenty years from now, kids (and adults) will still be discovering Harry. They'll be taking a journey — with the books or the movies — and living through to the end. That's Harry's enduring magic. Statements[A] The children will grow up in the company of Harry Potter.[B] People have spent too much energy and money on the books.[C] People who are keen readers believe in ancient myth.[D] Media are criticized that they deprive the public of the right to know. [El The book's topic is about a struggle between good and evil.[F] More money should be granted to deal with the spoilers.[G] The ending of the series is the heated question among readers.

填空题Erum Nadeem Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note: the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultural tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no misunderstanding—only happiness. Sander Tideman I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have been more complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of "gross national happiness" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross national product does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reaching effects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger social scale. Paul Aboh Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and share happiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted—a smile, a helping hand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you discover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but it never destroys. Mansoor Malik Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind to the environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of well-being. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can—help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile. Peter Fischer At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, I appreciated your special report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are often hungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? As your article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make us happy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right. Now match the name of each person (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. A rich person is not necessarily happy. B. Things people often overlook may be the very source of happiness. C. Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis. D. We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness. E. Happiness lies in giving instead of taking. F. The environment is a source of happiness. G. Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.

填空题 Mr. Mike Smith: It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We're only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week, that's all. It's a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim. Mr. Tom Brown: It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that's already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason. Mr. Bob Davis: Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all? Mrs. Baker: My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That's what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don, t like their jobs, nobody's forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they'd keep their mouths shut then. Miss Slater: Let's face it. It's neither here nor there, The electricity workers are in a strong position. Per- haps we can't do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] A 10% increase is already too much, and I'm here to persuade the Union to see reason.[B] I hope that strikes Should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation's security and stability.[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.[D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker's demands.[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.[F] I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.[G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.

填空题John Harvey : In fact if you go out to a restaurant it"s very difficult to find "British" cooking, but you can find almost anything else: French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and so on. London is full of foreign restaurants. I love trying "new dishes". I think you can understand a lot about another culture from its food. Jo Baker : I like foreign food, but not all. I particularly do not like Indian food, although I quite enjoy a mild curry I make myself. I like most European dishes, but Spanish food is quite low down on my list. However, I think you have to travel a long way to beat good old English cooking. What can be nicer than the aroma of a piece of beef roasted in the oven, surrounded by crisp roast potatoes and served with piping hot Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and gravy? From my point of view, I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad. You see, that"s just part of the enjoyment of traveling to another country. Foreign food is also fine for an odd night out to restaurant, but for every day please give me good old English food. Gabby Macadam : On the whole I enjoy foreign food, but having said that I can think of dozens of foreign dishes which I simply can"t stand. You see, they have fish in some way or other and I never eat fish in any form. I have found that many foreign dishes are served with a kind of sauce. I think it is the accompanying sauce that hides all sorts of problems. I am not so sure that I would be as fond of them as I am if they were served without the sauce. Len Dangerfield : When we English people travel abroad, we always make a great fuss about studying the menu but always end up with steak. You see, when I"m abroad I always miss our home cooking. I mean, I"m used to English food. Sometimes I do go to restaurant to taste some exotic dishes, but most of the time I still prefer to have English food. You know, it"s always difficult to get used to food in other countries. Peter Hawke : I like foreign food. I particularly like Indian food. Well, I"m married to an Indian girl. She is a good cook. I"m lucky to have her cook for me every day. I think Indian food as well as other foreign foods is generally tastier and more spicy than English food. Traditional English dishes, like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and fish and chips, are quite well-known abroad. But I must say as a nation we are not particularly good at catering. As far as I"m concerned, I think we should learn to cook more interesting dishes and make our food tastier and more varied. Now match each of the people to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Cooking varies from country to country even though the basic gradients may be very much the same. B. can"t stand those foreign dishes which contain fish in some way or other, and I"m not so sure that I"m fond of many foreign dishes which are served with a kind of sauce. C. I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad, but for every day I still prefer home cooking. D. I always miss English food when I"m abroad. E. We are becoming more and more cosmopolitan in our eating habits. F. I love foreign food, and I think people can understand a lot about another culture from its food. G. English people should learn to cook more interesting dishes and make their food tastier and more varied.
