Many of today’s young people have a difficult time seeing any moral element in their actions. There are a number of reasons why that’s true, but none more influential than an approach that fails to teach children the traditional moral values that bind our country together as a society and a culture. That failed approach, called “decision-making” introduced 25 years ago, tells children to decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong. It replaced “character education”, which encouraged them to practice habits of courage, justice and self-control.     1    .

Decision-making curriculums pose moral dilemmas (两难)to students, leaving them with the impression that all questions of right and wrong are in dispute.     2    .The assumption behind this method is that students will arrive at good moral conclusions if only they are given the chance. But the actual result is moral confusion. A recent national study revealed that a majority of boys considered rape to be acceptable under certain conditions. Astoundingly, many of the girls agreed.

This kind of moral illiteracy is further encouraged by values- education programs that are little more than courses in self-esteem.     3    . But it is just as reasonable to make an opposite assumption: namely, that a child who has uncritical self-regard will conclude that he or she can’t do anything bad.

Such naive self-acceptance results in large part from the non-directive, non-judgmental, as-long-as-you-feel-comfortable-with-your-choices mindset that has dominated public education for the last two and one-half decades. Many of today’s drug education, sex education and values-education courses are based on the same 1960s philosophy that helped fuel the explosion in teen drug use and sexual activity in the first place.

It is time to throw the trend of “decision making” and “non-judgmentalism” to the ash heap of failed policies and return to a proved method. Character education provides a much more realistic approach to moral formation.     4    .

A．A common approach of these programs is to provide a list of principles, pillars, values or virtues,around which themed activities are planned.

B．These programs are based on the questionable assumption that a child who feels good about himself or herself won’t want to do anything wrong.

C．A person who exhibits personal qualities a society considers desirable is considered to have good character- -and developing such qualities is often seen as a purpose of education.

D．In the 1940s, when character education prevailed, teachers worried about students chewing gum; today they worry about robbery and rape.

E．Youngsters are encouraged to question values and virtues they’ve never acquired in the first place or upon which they have only a weak hold.

F．It is built on an understanding that we learn morality not by debating it but by practicing it.

Now that the temperature has started to rise, it’s time to put on our casual and cool T-shirts. But to stand out from the crowd this season, you should consider adding a slogan (标语) T-shirt to your       1    .

From headlines and hashtags (贴文标签) to popular quotes, many words have leapt from     2     onto our clothing. In April, New York magazine came up with a creative idea – turning headlines from its fashion section into slogan T-shirts.

But slogan T-shirts certainly aren't     3     creations. Although they're believed to have been the idea of small 1960s London fashion store Mr. Freedom, British designer Katherine Hamnett first introduced them to the wider world in the 1980s. 'the slogan T-shirt was something to give you a(n)     4     ... in one, you could be read from 200 yards (about 183 meters) away, ' she recently told the BBC.

However, people have been using     5     ways to send political messages far before slogan T-shirts came along. 'In the 19th century before women had the vote, they would use umbrellas that represented their     6     candidate, ' Steven Fielding, professor of political history at the University of Nottingham, told Elle magazine.

Indeed, fashion has always been about self-expression. And slogan items have become a way to     7     messages without the need to scream and shout. 'sometimes we talk about serious stuff, and sometimes fun things, ' Swedish designer Annika Berger told the Guardian.

British designer Viet Tran shared his story of making fun T-shirts with Elle. Graduating from college, he couldn't afford a cool T-shirt, so he and his friends just made their own,     8     slogans such as, 'He's your man. ' Tran told the magazine. 'It was an inside joke that     9     us as a group. ' British fashion expert Natalie Kingham also agreed that slogan items provide a(n)     10     platform.

So, if you want to share your thoughts with the world, a slogan T-shirt is certainly a good way to start.

We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves.     1     How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationships with ourselves?

The problem might be worse than we expect. Maybe we don’t like ourselves without realizing it. Here is a simple checklist: Is there anything you don’t like about yourself from these lists? Your past: Maybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about.     2       Even if that happened in distant past, your subconscious(潜意识的) mind still has a reason not to like yourself.

Your background: You might wish that you were born in a different family, or that you have a different background. Maybe you could not accept the fact that you are not as lucky as others. They seem to get whatever they want effortlessly because of their background.

Your personal features: You might have some personality features that you don’t like. For example, you may be an introvert(内向的) and you don’t like it; you wish you were an extrovert. Others might have better achievements than you, and no matter how hard you tried, it might seem impossible for you to match them.     3     Is there anything that resonate (共鸣) with you? All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. That in turn makes it difficult for you to be a good friend to yourself.     4     Here are some tips:

Forgive yourself;

Accept things you can’t change;

Focus on your strengths;

Write your success stories;

Stop comparing yourself with others;

Always be true to yourself.

A．That is the first step if we are to have good relationships with others.

B．You might think that it’s because you are not smart enough or don’t have enough talents.

C．You can do something to improve the relationships with others.

D．Fortunately, there are always things you can do to fix the situation.

E．You might be disappointed with yourself on why you make such mistakes.

F．Sometimes you might not believe yourself.
