Frank works at a school called Tumul K’in,which means “New Day” in the local language (Mayan Mopan).The school was founded in 2001 by Belizean Filiberto Penados,who received funding(基金) from the United Nations for the project.

Frank said that there were about 60 students in five grades at the school,and they ranged from 12 to 20 years old.

It was different from other schools in the area,Frank said.While most trained youths for work that would take them away from their villages,he said,Tumul K’in trained them for those things they could use locally,such as farming and various trades.

“The difference in education is that students at Tumul K’in learn everything from mathematics and science to agricultural practices and how to raise livestock(家畜),” he said.“The main idea is to help maintain the Mayan lifestyle of village living and help it to be passed on to the next generation.”

As for the radio station,Frank said that the effort was part of a programme originally founded by the UN.

“The radio station has been named ‘Ak Kutan FM’,or ‘New Day FM’.It will broadcast health information,such as where people can go to get tested for HIV,as well as report local and national news,” he said.For most,it was the first interaction(互动) with the local community that Mayans in this remote village would have.

“I can’t stress enough how little contact many villagers have had with the outside world,”Frank said.“Many have never left their village nor seen something like a telephone,refrigerator or even a world map.”

What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority(优先)over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices.

In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our point of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail — other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.

Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical(合乎道义的) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or catch our vulnerability(弱点). Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.

Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution(美国宪法).

1.According to the passage, persuasion means ________.

A. changing others’ point of view

B. exercising power over other people

C. getting other people to consider your point of view

D. getting people to agree with you and do what you want

2.The underlined word in the second paragraph “prevail” means“________”.

A. win B. fail C. speak D. listen

3.The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ________.

A. a danger to society B. difficult to do well

C. unwelcome behavior D. never successful

4.The passage mainly discusses ________.

A. people’s different opinions towards persuasion

B. the reasons why people persuade

C. that persuasion is both good and bad

D. that persuasion is important and it is all around us
