Several weeks ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mailbox. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn't sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished at 4 a.m., you can't simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.
So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated black market fireworks. With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadn't realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he'd used the card strategy. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket(收保护费组织).
Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn't enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. "I know you don't care how merry my Christmas is, and that's fine," the gesture said. "I want $30, or I'll 'forget' to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day." I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn't yet been picked up: "Someone stole Mickey's tip!" Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled.
The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. "Are you Mickey?" The man looked at him with scorn. "Mickey is the garbage man. I am the recycling." Not only had Ed insulted this man by suggesting that he was a garbage man, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. "Anyone else?"
Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing break of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under "trash/recycling collectors" in the institute's Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: "$10 to $30 each." You may or may not wish to know that your hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.

Integrity
Integrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.
Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny(命运) of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are corrupt, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.
On the other hand, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development of its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.
However, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue(追求) integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.
Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.

In June 2014. Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three—year-old Victoria Wilcher,who had suffered facial scarring, had been kicked out of a KFC because she was frightening customers. Later,KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.
Brooke Binkowski,an editor,says that,during her career, she has seen a shift towards less editorial oversight in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this,but a lot of them are. ”
Asked what the driving factor was,a journalist said,“You’ve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone's door. You just sit at your desk and do it. ”
Another journalist says,“There is definitely pressure to churn out(粗制滥造) stories in order to get clicks,because they equal money. At my former employer in particular,the pressure was on due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in.”
In a February 2015 report for Digital Journalism,Craig Silverman wrote,“Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours,a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached,repetition has a powerful effect on belief. The rumor(传闻)becomes true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity. ”
And,despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more,not less important,according to the New York Times’public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It's extremely important to question and to use every verification(验证) method available before publication. ”Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because. in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click,regardless of the advantage of a story”. And,“if the story does turn out to be false, it's simply a chance for another bite at the cherry. ”
Verification and fact—checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers,and if the only result of being caught out is another chance to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change.
12. According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _______.A.clicks matter a lot | B.resources are limited |
C.budgets are inadequate | D.journalists lack experience |
A.Lies can't sell without an atom of truth. |
B.Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind. |
C.You can hear rumors, but you can't know them. |
D.A lie, repeated often enough,will end up as truth. |
A.Negative. | B.Supportive. |
C.Sceptical. | D.Neutral. |
A.Consequences of false stories. | B.Causes of online false news. |
C.Incompetence of journalists. | D.A craze to get clicks. |

“I’m so fat,” one of your friends says. The girl next to her joins in. “Welf, I hate my hair today.” Without thinking, you respond “No, you ate not fat! I am fat. And my hair is flat and boring.”
It is easy for people to engage in self-critical conversations, and once it starts there is often pressure for you to join in.
But what if someone else starts? For example, your friend feels insecure about how well he played in his soccer game, so he puts himself down. “I suck at soccer.”
It is important to talk to your friend about your insecurities, but make sure you are not talking about them just to put yourself down.
A.Negative talk affects self-respect. |
B.Criticizing yourself helps nobody. |
C.But why do we hesitate to praise ourselves? |
D.But why is it acceptable to talk so negatively? |
E.All it takes is just one comment and the negative talk starts. |
F.It is better to resist negative conversations and create more balanced ones. |
G.Before everyone puts himself down, see if you can get to the root of the problem |
