3 . The Value of Tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film over the eye’s surface.
When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get it back.”
Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling—shock, anger, fear, or sadness—is being held back.
But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good not to cry during a tense business discussion.
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself.

8 . Roger was a thief, but he wasn’t very clever. When he was in school, he stole apples or oranges from other children. Sometimes he stole pencils or books from other children. But he always got caught.
The teacher spoke to Roger’s parents and they tried to stop him from stealing things, but Roger wouldn’t stop. He kept stealing.
When he was older, he began to steal from stores, but he was still stupid. Once, he went into a store wearing the clothes he had stolen the day before. The still had the price tags (标签) on them, and the store manager called the police. They warned him that he would go to jail if he didn’t stop stealing.
Then Roger decided to rob a bank. He planned everything. He got some gloves so that he would not leave fingerprints, and a mask so that no one would recognize him.
“But what if they recognize my voice?” he thought.
He decided to write his message on a piece of paper so that he wouldn’t need to speak. He found an old envelope and wrote “give me all the money” on the back of it. He got a toy gun and went to the bank. He put on his mask and his gloves and showed the note to the bank clerk. The clerk gave him all the money, and Roger ran out of the bank and went home.
Ten minutes later he heard a knock on the door. It was the police. They had come to arrest him for robbing the bank.

I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.
If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory(参与其中的) approach. When you tell a child about morals, you also have to deal with social norms(规范)and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals of the present time.
The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.
In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behavior patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behavior.
1. Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools but with little effect?
A.Morality doesn’t strictly belong to a science |
B.Morality is more like a social phenomenon. |
C.Different generations have different moral ideas. |
D.Morality can’t be written down in textbooks. |
A.explain telling lies is not moral for little children. |
B.advise people should be rewarded for their goodness. |
C.prove moral lessons in schools have little effect. |
D.show he has no opinions about moral science. |
A.teach him to share personal moral ideas with others |
B.tell him about social norms and cultural differences |
C.explain that nobody can influence his moral ideas. |
D.say that the present morals are likely to be changed. |
A.The best way of teaching children about morals. |
B.The value of teachers’ setting a good example |
C.The influence of people’s behavior on morals. |
D.The importance of rewarding good behavior. |
