13.Many people think that the ideas about right and wrong are only personal ideas.Bennett wrote The Book of Virtue (美德) in which he suggested that great moral (道德的) stories can build character.The success of Bennett's book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values,just like honesty,courage,loyalty and many others.For Americans,one basic moral value is honesty.The story about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly.Little George cut down his father's favourite cherry tree.When his father asked him about it,George said,"I did it."Instead of punishment,his father spoke highly of him.Sometimes American honesty--being open and direct--can make people angry.But Americans still believe that"honesty is the best virtue".
Another virtue is perseverance (毅力).A story tells of a little train climbing a hill.The hill is too high to get over it.But the train just kept pulling,all the while saying,"I think I can,I think I can."At last,the train was over the top because he did not give up.
Compassion(同情) may be the queen of American virtues.The story of"The Good Samaritan"from the Bible describes a man with compassion.On his way home,he found a poor traveler lying on the road.The kind man,instead of just passing by,stopped to help this person in need.
Compassion can even turn into a good cycle.In 1992,people in Iowa sent plenty of water to help Floridians(佛罗里达州人) hit by storms.The next summer,during the Midwest flood,Florida returned.Millions of Americans are quietly passing along the kindness shown to them.
In no way can this book cover all the moral values honored (以…为荣) by Americans.But moral virtues are priceless,and they are the base of American culture and any culture.

What are the hopes of teenagers?We received several different answers to the question:what would you like to do after you finish your education?It seems some students would like to start work as soon as they can,so that they can help offer their parents better lives.Other students hope to go on studying after they finish school and to go to university.Although money is important,many teenagers want to do jobs they like.According to the survey,the most popular choice of job is computer programming.
What are the dreams of teenagers?Teenagers have all kinds of dreams.Some are more realistic (现实的) than others.For example,many students would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup,maybe working as translators or tour guides.And many students dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one day.
According to the survey,less realistic dreams are also common,but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams.Quite a few dreamed of becoming famous,perhaps famous sports people or singers.Some students would like to go on exciting trips.One student would love to sail across the Pacific Ocean.And then there are dreams that there are no possibility for students to achieve.Three students would like to be able to fly.
It is clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes.It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job.On the other hand,students dream of very different things:good things,and even crazy things.It is very important to dream,so hold on your dreams,one day they may just be realized.
