17、ouslyPart III Reading Comprehension. (30，2 points for each)ALike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around t

18、he world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like

19、high voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people. The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what

20、or whom do they serve. What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts(催化劑

21、) for change. They have a vision from tile mountain top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther, King, Jr., we might still have segregated buses, restau

22、rants, and parks.

And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is

28、glad. The fact the ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nations moral climate, says this ethics(倫理學(xué))professor at the University of Chicago, is reasonable to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it. But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Mateirialism and

29、 individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. “The thought that Im in it for me has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness.” Ms. Elshtain says.Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, s

30、he says. With todays greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self. In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U.S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that:

31、 Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers. The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent “golden age,” Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful(一廂情愿的)longing f

32、or a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice. Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. “Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that cant be bo

33、ught.”41. Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans _. A) have adapted to a new set of moral standardsB) are longing for the return of the good old daysC) have realized the importance of material thingsD) are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards42.

35、rsC) Emphasis on individual effort. D) Ever-weakening social bonds. 44. In the 1950s, classroom violence _. A) was something unheard ofB) was by no means a rare occurrenceC) attracted a lot of public attention D) began to appear in analysts data45. According to Elshtain, the current moral decline ma

36、y be reversed _.A) if people can return to the “golden age”B) when women and men enjoy equal rightsC) when people rid themselves of prejudiceD) if less emphasis is laid on material thingsCThe process of perceiving other people is rarely translated (to ourselves or others) into cold, objective terms.

37、 “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very q

38、uicklyperhaps with a two-second glance. We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others. Particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare

39、 the observed persons behavior with the known others behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for, deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the persons r

40、esponses to specific stimuli: asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her: and listing various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person-questions, self-disclosures(自我表露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a never-

41、ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we wont ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more e

42、asily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e. g. , secrets and deceptions) m

43、ay be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as the things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g., disclosures and truthful statements).46.
