Nowadays, the Americans frequently read newspaper articles about violent crimes, see rages of inhumanity on the evening news, and hear sound bites on the radio describing cruelty and intolerance. (46)
We worry, particularly, about the effects on our children of our own society, a society that is less safe and less hospitable than the one we experienced as children growing up during the 1950’s and 1960’s.
(47)
In many school districts throughout America, there is already compelling evidence that adolescents have been affected negatively by changing social conditions, including by what many American believe to be a decline of basic human values.
Parents and teachers must contend often with adolescent aggression, profanity, and disrespect. Some students display antagonistic attitudes and behave inappropriately. Some students are insensitive and unkind to their classmates, discourteous to adults, and quick to express their anger by raising their voices or using profanity.
It is the responsibility of parents to teach their children to be polite, courteous, and forbearing. (48)
It is one of parents’ most fundamental responsibilities to impart to their children the values of integrity, decency, and respect for others; teachers and school administrators should never become, however, ethical bystanders.
If we wish to realize our educational philosophy not only to educate our students but also to encourage them to accept the innate worth of every human being, we must not surrender the ideal of maintaining a moral community at our school, where all people have an obligation to be polite and tolerant of individual differences.
(49)
Some individuals believe that school personnel should not interfere with the behavior of students unless it is directly related to learning or affects the safety of individuals who are inside the school building or somewhere on campus.
But good teachers and administrators do teach values—not personal, private values but common values of courtesy, mutual respect, persistence, responsibility, and self-reliance.
(50)
Ideally, educators affirming socially-responsible values taught at home by parents and demanding appropriate vocabulary and good manners from their students should have been valued as competent and successful educators.
They should remind the students of saying" please" and" thank you" and remind them of not interrupting when others are speaking. It is very much the responsibility of teachers and administrators to promote our school’s traditions of proper behavior and good sportsmanship. Therefore, school educators should be judged by the moral and ethical climate of their school. All the academic improvements of the school notwithstanding, no teachers should be considered successful educators unless their students graduated not only as successful learners but also as ladies and gentlemen.
选项
答案
我们特别担心我们的社会问题对孩子们所产生的影响;与我们儿时的五、六十年代相比,如今的社会缺乏安全感,也显得更冷漠。
解析
此题目的难点是our own society的翻译。如果将our own society直接翻译成"我们的社会",effect一词翻译为"影响",则不能体现动词worry的具体含义。从前一个句子分析,our own society实际是指前面提到的社会问题,如暴力犯罪(violent crimes)、非人道灾难(rages of inhumanity)、残忍和褊狭的行径(cruelty and intolerance)等。因此,根据上文,我们可以把our own society翻译为具体的"社会问题",以和动词worry相配合,突显出effects的具体负面倾向。考查点:注意根据上下文的语义补充具体信息。
