6.When I was a little girl,my mother told me to wait for the light to turn green before I crossed the street.This I did.Indeed,I was positive as a young child that I would get crushed like a potato if I ever stepped a foot off the sidewalk while the light was red.I followed my mother's advice until I realized that she herself went through red lights always pulling me with her.So after a while I followed her example and not her advice.
And this was just part of the story.I was out of high school before the picture began to pull together.I absorbed the knowledge little by little through the years.And me,my friends and I,did come to take it for granted.Parents were that way.Older people were that way.And most of us accepted it as part of life.
Now I am grown up and I have my own children.For the longest time I pulled my little daughter across the middle of the street-just like my mother used to do-warning her,"Don't do this when I'm not with you."
Webster says such behavior is hypocrisy(虚伪),that is,pretending to be better than we are.Is this because we always want to be better?Or only that we want to fool people into thinking that we are?When we practice a religion which causes a concern for our fellow men,do we purposefully march out of church and refuse to rent an apartment to a black family?Or do we all live on two tracks because we have,somewhere along the line,come to the conclusion that such hypocrisy is essential to our survival in soc iety at this time?

5.They are the little sweeties who look pretty cute in a photo,or when sleeping-but a lot less appealing at 30,000ft,crying loudly in the seat right next to you.
According to a new survey,almost seven in ten Britons dislike flying with babies so much that they would like to see child-free areas introduced on planes.As for long-distance flights where people want to sleep,almost one in four British travelers believes that no-kid-zones should be fixed as required sections.
The survey was conducted by bookings website LateDeals.co.uk,with 1,108UK consumers questioned as to what they hate most about air travel.
And our dislike of noisy children and babies on planes runs deep,it seems more than a third of us-35percent-would pay extra to travel on a childless service.
Long-distance passengers would be prepared to pay an additional£63to the cost of a return ticket if it meant adults only on board.And on short-distance flights,an extra£28on the price of a return fare would be considered good value if it guaranteed an absence of angry babies in the middle of the economy-class aisle(走道).
However,screaming babies are not the only source of annoyance for British travelers.In fact,according to the research on the most annoying types of airline passengers,a crying baby ranks as only the fourth.Over half of those surveyed-58percent-selected"drunk travellers"as their pet peeves( 令人反感的事或物).People with"bad personal hygiene(卫生)"and travellers who kick the back of the seat in front were also near the top of the list,causing anger to 48and 47per-cent of us respectively(分别地).Crying babies came in at fourth on the list,a pet peeve for 43percent of those surveyed.
