一个有修养的人
古人云:“君子不可不修身。” “正心以为本,修身以为基。”某英文报纸以“一个有修养的人”为话题开展征文活动。请根据以下要点写一篇短文。
1. 一个人不能够没有修养(culture) 。一个富有修养的人,对待他人始终都彬彬有礼,面带微笑,并且尊重、理解、关心别人,并且言行一致。
2. 他认为扶贫助困,爱护公物,保护环境的社会公德是每个公民的责任。
3. 修养将使我们大家和睦融洽,使我们的未来更美好。
Zhu Haoyu, 18, a history major, wears his iPod everywhere on campus. The freshman has it going out for a walk, visiting the library or lying in bed. However, he found that his habit is like displaying a big “Do not disturb ”sign for himself.
As time slips away, he has begun to regret not having conversed much with his peers around . “As I put the little buds (耳机) into my ears, I’m immersed in a universe of my own, forgetting all troubles in the real world,” said Li.
The MP3 player is one of a number of gadgets (小玩意)—starting with the Sony Walkman, which led to the iPod, iPhone and iPad —that give people the ability to shut themselves off from world around them.
Youngsters delight in handset (手持的) technology. In public, students chat on their cell phones, stopping only to talk briefly to friends. On buses or trains it’s common to see youngsters with PlayStations instead of playing poker or sharing jokes or games. And during airline flights, people watch episodes (连续剧) of US TV dramas on their iPads, rather than talking.
The BBC News magazine recently published an article saying that headphone wearing culture is making us anti-social. “Half of humankind is wired to a parallel universe that leaves them ignoring their surroundings and fellows,” wrote Tom de Castella.
Actually, it’s a decade since Apple unveiled the iPod, which promised “1,000 songs in your pocket”. In 2007 more than half of Western residents were using an iPod or MP3 player.
Entertainment is on offer in all surroundings, not just at home. But in the meantime, it has created barriers between us. Many people subscribe to the view that the headphone culture is creating a “spoilt, selfish generation that lacks civic(公民的)culture”.
However, many users of portable MP3 players argue that the device, as a mind drug, helps them relieve stress by escaping for a while. It is also said to be able to help some students concentrate on work or study. “If you want to get away from the hucksters (小贩) on the way, just start listening to your player,” said Liu, a freshman. “They do not approach people with headphones on.” This might also mean he’s blocking those who want to ask him for the directions.
Experts, however, say that short contacts or mini conversations with strangers are helpful to our mind. Many experts warn that it is dangerous to lose touch with people in our lives.

Janice Fialka showed a new documentary (纪录片) about her cognitively (认知地) disabled son at schools and seminars across the country.Everyone seemed to enjoy it,but one comment from a teacher proved her family’s investment to Fialka was a success.
“In Baltimore an early childhood teacher came up and said,‘I have to apologize to the family of a 4?year old with Down Syndrome (先天愚型),’”Fialka said.“She said,‘I told them to be more realistic about their dreams for him.Now I have to tell them I’m sorry.’”
The story of Micah Fialka?Feldman,a 22?year?old Oakland University student,is meant to show parents,educators and the disabled anything is possible.
Fialka?Feldman wrote in an essay titled “I wanted to go to college and my dream came true”.A lot of people didn’t think he could go to college,but because family and friends believed in him he learned how to take public transportation to campus and found teachers who helped him pick the best classes.
The title of the film Through the Same Door came from a day when Fialka?Feldman,who was enrolled in a first grade special education program,told his parents he wanted to walk through the same door as the rest of the kids at his school.It led him to becoming the first student with cognitive disabilities in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.
Though he can’t read or write on his own,Fialka?Feldman reached amazing heights with the help of voice recognition computer software,tutors,and the embrace (接受) of his community.
At Berkley High School,Fialka?Feldman won the Social Studies Department Award for civic (公民的) involvement.In 2004 he received the Michigan “Yes,I Can” award for self?advocacy (自强).
He finished high school in 2003 with a certificate of attendance,took a 10?day trip through Israel with friends last year,and enrolled at Oakland University through the Transitions Program,which is geared (使适合于) to help the disabled go from high school to college.
Fialka said he’s the happiest kid in the world.Everyone should be so happy.
