问答题George Washington, wealthy planter and fox hunting sportsman, was without a trace of Puritanism. He was so completely indifferent to its pious irascibilities that he appears never to have made any comment on them. Indeed, he seemed, according to the evidence, to have had no instinct or feeling for religion, although he attended church twelve or fifteen times a year.
The name of Jesus Christ is not mentioned even once in the vast collection of Washington"s published letters. He refers to Providence in numerous letters, but he used the term in such a way as to indicate that he considered Providence as a synonym for Destiny or Fate. Bishop White, who knew him well for many years, wrote after Washington"s death that he had never heard him express an opinion on any religious subject. He added that although Washington was "serious and attentive" in church, he never saw him kneel in prayer.
Nevertheless, he believed in the stabilizing power of religion. He had no religious feeling himself, but thought religion was a good thing for other people—especially for the common people. Anyone who understands American life will recognize the modem captain-of-industry attitude in this point of view.
In his Farewell Address, which unquestionably represents his most mature opinions, the name of God does not appear, but he had a good word for religions, to wit: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports."
Reading this, we pause and reflect. He considered religion a matter of policy. Of that we might have been sure—knowing, as we do, his type of mind. But the statement does not come up to expectations; he has not tied religion up to property. Any modem captain of industry would do that. However, we are not yet at the end of the statement. In the same paragraph, a few lines further on, he says:
Let it simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.

For the Greeks, beauty was a virtue: a kind of excellence. Persons then were assumed to be what we now have to call--lamely, enviously-- wholepersons. If it did occur to the Greeks to distinguish between a person's "inside" and "outside," they still expected that inner beauty would be matched by beauty of the other kind. The well-born young Athenians who gathered around Socrates found it quite paradoxical that their hero was so intelligent, so brave, so honorable, so seductive-- and so ugly. One of Socrates' main pedagogical acts was to be ugly-- and to teach those innocent, no doubt splendid-looking disciples of his how full of paradoxes life really was. They may have resisted Socrates' lesson. We do not. Several thousand years later, we are more waryof the enchantments of beauty. We not only split off--with the greatest facility--the 'inside" (character, intellect) from the "outside" (looks); but we are actually surprised when someone who is beautiful is also intelligent, talented, good.

问答题For some children life begins at 3
BEIJING, Sep. 6 (China Daily) —All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But for some Chinese parents with young children, too much play and too little work may be even worse. At least it seems so judging by their reactions to the first official guidelines on education for preschoolers.
While emphasizing the physical, social and emotional development of children aged 3—6, the draft instructions by the Ministry of Education have set forth minimal academic requirements that are causing panic among urban middle-class parents who fear the criteria, if implemented, will shortchange their children"s opportunity to learn and end the nation"s time-honored tradition of tough education from an early age.
One of the most criticized study objectives given by the guidelines, which were recently posted on the Internet for input from the public, is that children aged 5-6 who are about to enter Primary One, are only required to learn to add or subtract up to 10. Another is related to their language skill, which is prescribed as "an interest in words and symbols that come with certain meaning".
Though their children may already be whiz-kids at math or language by these official standards, many parents are not satisfied. A recent study of more than 1,000 urban Chinese parents shows that prior to their kids entering primary school, 89 percent of them have prepped their children in math and Chinese; 28 percent in a foreign language, while another 20 percent have sent their children to study some Primary One courses in advance.
Let"s face it, in an education system that hinges on a series of competitive exams that lead the successful candidate into the best schools and the best jobs, a carefully planned early leg-up is necessary to ensure our children are not left behind.
When given the choice, the majority of Chinese parents say they would spend significantly more time on raising a smart kid than a healthy or nice kid. For most people, there is no better way for their children to get smarter than making them study harder and longer. It"s instilling a work ethic at a young age that will serve a child his whole lifetime. This may explain why a mother will ask her 5-year-old to spend hours on homework in the evening, copying Chinese characters learned in kindergarten class or solving arithmetic problems.
But this is not what the education authorities want to see. The guidelines are meant to make the lives of young children less stressful, and serve as a wake-up call to "overzealous" parents who are caught up in the national early-education craze.
It remains to be seen if parents will be convinced that their children should enjoy more time on the playground without changes to the school system. So far the guidelines seem to have only won praise from parents who are disappointed in their children"s academic performance.
