22、 One recent night, while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal, my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked, “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.”In other words, ideals—general descriptions of people's expectations of themselves and others—can often lead us to unreasonable ideas.It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people.We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.
I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America.The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes:Jewish people were“greedy”, Mexicans were“poorly educated”, and Asians were“good at math”.These labels were taught to us from a young age.They wormed their way into our belief systems, harming how we came to see others.It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true.The rush-to judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination.
You can also see these over-generalized descriptions being made against today's Chinese people.Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among mile millennial being described as “monkish”, or“dad-fashion”which has given the“greasy middle-aged men”tag.stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society.But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.
It's about time that we, as a society, walked away from generalizations and stereotypes.I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr.from his famous“I Have a Dream”speech:“T look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.
【1】According to the passage, how do people tend to judge others?
A.By describing people's personalities.
B.By truly getting to know those around.
C.By observing their noticeable features.
D.By following Martin Luther King's speech.
【2】Examples of“millennial”and dad-fashion”are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal .
A.generalizations have unfavorable position in society
B.generalizations have a negative influence on our society
C.generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-age Chinese
D.generalizations make today's Chinese people lack interest or worry
【3】The passage is mainly concerned with .
A.the common prejudice
B.people's expectation of themselves
C.the groundless worries
D.the famous speech of Martin Luther King Jr.
23、New Year’s Day is meant for food. As the new year arrives around the world, there could be special cakes and breads, for example, long noodles representing long life, field peas representing coins, and pigs representing good luck. The particulars vary, but the general theme is the same: Enjoy food and drink to bring in a year of prosperity. Here are some of the New Year’s food traditions around the world.
Hoppin’ John, American South
A major New Year’s food tradition in the American South, Hoppin’ John is a dish of pork-flavored field peas or black-eyed peas — symbolizing coins — and rice, frequently served with cooked greens — as they’re the color of money and cornbread—the color of gold. The dish is said to bring good luck in the new year.
Twelve grapes, Spain
The people of Spain traditionally watch a broadcast from Puerta del Sol in Madrid, where people gather in front of the square’s clock tower to ring in the New Year. Those out in the square and those watching at home take part in an unusual annual tradition: At the stroke of midnight, they eat one grape for every toll of the clock bell. Some even get their grapes ready — peeling and seeding them — to make sure they will be as efficient as possible when mid-night comes.
Tamales, Mexico
Tamales, corn dough filled with meat, cheese and other delicious additions and wrapped in a banana leaf or a corn husk, make appearances at pretty much every special occasion in Mexico. In many families, groups of women gather together to make hundreds of the little packets to hand out to friends, family and neighbors.
Soba noodles, Japan
In Japanese households, families cat buckwheat soba noodles, or toshikoshi soba, at mid-night on New Year’s Eve to say goodbye to the year gone by and welcome the year to come. The tradition dates back to the 17th century, and the long noodles symbolize longevity and prosperity.
