試題詳情
My husband came across the program from my father-in-law's high school graduation，90 years ago.It was the Class of1928 and their class motto（格言）was "Build for character，not for fame. "
I'm pretty sure society has done a full reverse on that one.
These days，we have people who are famous for simply being famous.They haven't done anything particularly impressive，but they do take great selfies.
We are all obsessed with fame these days，mainly thanks to social media.All we want is for people to follow us，friend us，like us，or share our posts.We are nearly desperate for fame.
"Build for character，not for fame，is based on the assumption that one is looking up and ahead.That's an encouraging idea，especially today，when most of us have our heads down，looking at the screens of our smartphones.Looking ahead and building for character takes thought and intentionality（意向性）.
One can be intentional in building for fame as well，but fame often relies heavily on the right timing and connections，as well as the creation of a base of fans and supporters.
Character isn't subject to the ideas of others.Character is built with self-discipline（自律），and a willingness to learn from difficulties.Character grows internally（內(nèi)在地）and needs no applause.
Fame depends on people looking at you，while character is who you are when no one is looking.
Fame often comes with jealousy（嫉妒）a feeling that time is running out or that someone better than you is coming to steal your fans.
Character is marked by feeling content and being generous.There is satisfaction that comes with the reward of achievements，but at the same time，good character willingly holds the door open for others who are also hoping to achieve.
This commencement（畢業(yè)典禮）season，speakers will tell new graduates to get out there and build a better world.
The best way to build a better world is to build character，the kind that runs deep and can carry you through life's storms.
Build character with courage，justice（正）and strength.Build character by respecting yourself and respecting others.Build character with kindness，hope and love.Build for character and you will build a better world.

2．Suppose you're in a rush，felling tired，not paying attention to your screen，and you send an email that could get you in trouble．
Realisation will probably set in seconds after you've clicked "send"．You freeze in horror and bum with shame．
What to do？Here are four common email accidents，and how to recover．
Clicking "send" too soon
Don't waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet．Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored．
Writing the wrong name
The sooner you notice，the better．Respond quickly and briefly，apologising for your mistake．Keep the tone measured：don't handle it too lightly，as people can be offended，especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture （i．e．incorrect ordering of Chinese names）．
Clicking "reply all" unintentionally
You accidentally reveal（透露）to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner，or what holiday you'd like to take．In this instance，the best solution is to send a quick，light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness．But it can quickly rise to something worse，when everyone starts hitting "reply all" to join in a long and unpleasant conversation．In this instance，step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down．
Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger．You write an unkind message about someone，intending to send it to a friend，but accidentally send it to the person you're discussing．In that case，ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry．Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly -see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person．

A．curious
