Let me speak first to parents. You are the ones who plant, or fail to plant, the seeds of character in your children. Try from the beginning to put into your children’s minds the capacity to feel shame by letting them know that, just as there are actions for which they can win praise, so there are others — lying, cheating, stealing — that are unacceptable and for which they will be punished.
As parents, you are not alone in your efforts to form character. Organizations such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts teach accountability and strengthen it with pressure of equals. Churches are also strong helpers.
I remember clearly an event from my childhood. In our church’s Sunday-school playroom was a set of little lead cowboys and Indians. One day, I took one of them home, and that night my brother saw me playing with it. "I know where you got that," he said. "You stole it from the church."
Stole it! From the church! Those words hit me like a thunderbolt. The anger of God, my mother’s anger, the scorn of the, world rose up like a terrifying wave in my mind. I ran a mile and a half to return the figure and all the way back home, where my mother put me to bed with a couple of beats for “cattin “ around"(到处乱跑着寻乐). I never told her why I had left the house; I was too ashamed. Shame led straight to accountability, and I never again took any- thing that Wasn’t mine.
What about teachers? To them I’d say: your classroom is a small society. Don’t excuse bad behavior, Get students to impose standards upon one another, and work to persuade the school administration to become firmer about discipline.
I’ve heard of high schools where the first time a student is caught with drugs, he’s warned; the second time, he may be kept from school temporarily; the third, possibly driven away. To the principals of such schools 1 would say, "Why not suspend students the first time?" And l would quote a religious leader’s words: "Punish severely the first offender, for in him lies the greatest hope of reform."
Finally, a wise teacher might tell a high-school class: "If you choose to play with drugs, the police may never catch you. But your body is responsible to the laws of chemistry and biology."
What about law enforcement? If I could say just one thing to the designers of that system, it would be: restore fair, swift, sure punishment as one of the’ key supporters of accountability. There is nothing Unreasonable about just punishment, but you’d never know it from watching our law carried out today. Criminals don’t fear the law, because in most cases its punishment is so slow and weakened that any preventing effect is lost.
The author mentions the incident that he once stole something to ______.
选项
A、show how parents should deal with their children’s fault
B、illustrate the importance of instilling children with the sense of shame
C、make known his past
D、warn parents to be cautious when they punish their children
答案
B
解析
例子在文章中是用来支持作者观点或是引出观点的,因此在例子的前后几句一般就是作者的观点。由此我们可以找到这个例子所在的地方,然后向前推。文章第一段第三句是"Try from the beginning to put into your children’s minds the capacity to feel shame by letting them know that...”,这就是作者的观点,由此可知答案为D 。
