Importance of Ethics

    Two 1996 studies indicate the importance of the study of ethics to students in journalism and mass communications programs. A survey of seventy-three media ethics courses at universities across the country revealed a continuing rise in enrollment. Also, media organizations have told educators that they value students' critical-thinking and problem-solving skills and their sense of ethics.

    However, reasons for studying ethics go beyond what potential employers desire. Proper behavior is necessary for growth and order. if one objective of an education is to promote the growth and development of the individual, then the place to start is with personal behavior. Developing a sense of what is right and wrong, or appropriate and inappropriate, will promote order, not only in individual lives but also in society at large. Speed limits are set, proper directions are indicated, and numerous suggestions are made-seat belts, for example—so that automobile travel is reasonably safe and efficient. Without the "rules" of the road, travel becomes chaotic. Order is necessary. It sets rules" for proper human activity and as a result promotes growth, development, and order in individual lives.

    Not every problem is an ethical one, and even when an ethical problem does present itself, people sometimes make the wrong ethical decision, or they make the right ethical decision and it results in unforeseen negative consequences. Nevertheless, people must realize that without a large number of individuals "doing the right thing, " society would not be doing much at all except fighting for survival and trying to figure out an increasingly chaotic world. Things are bad enough with ethics; think how bad they might be without them.

A. Ethical behavior could play the same role.

B. Think, for example, of the order required to move traffic on roads and highways.

C. Ethics promotes not only a better individual but also a better society.

D. The other study noted that 44 percent of the responding schools required students to complete an ethics course.

E. In conclusion, ethics seeks to resolve moral problems by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong.

F. Ethics, however, is not a magic cure-all

    This is the incredible school where the headteacher's unique dedication to handwriting practice means EVERY pupil is ambidextrous.

Only ten percent of the population are left-handed, and only ONE percent can write with both hands. But all 300 students at Veena Vandini School in India can write with both their left and right hand, with some able to do both at the same time—in different languages.

    Every 45-minute lesson features 15 minutes devoted to handwriting practice, to make sure all students at the remote rural school have the skill.

    The school, which was founded in 1999, is located in a remote area, in Singrauli district, Madhya Pradesh. School founder and former solider Vp Sharma said he was inspired to demand the lessons by India's first president.

     “I read in a magazine that Dr Rajendra Prasad used to write with both hands. This inspired me to give it a try. Later, when I launched my school at my native village, I tried training the students.

     “We began training students from standard I and by the time they reach standard III, they were comfortable writing with both the hands. Students of standard VII and VIII can write with speed and accuracy. Further, they can write two scripts simultaneously, one with each hand.

     “Students also know several languages, including Urdu.”

    Mr Sharma said their unique dedication to handwriting led South Korean researchers to visit and study the pupils two years ago, to find out more about ambidexterity.

  1. (1) What does the text mainly introduce?
    A . A talented president B . An incredible school C . A wise headteacher D . A unique training
  2. (2) Why was the handwriting practice developed?
    A . Because many students couldn't write beautifully B . Because the school was ordered to do that by the government C . Because the school founder was inspired by an India's president D . Because Mr Sharma wanted to write quickly
  3. (3) Which can we infer from the text?
    A . The school has a history of over 30 years. B . One third of the time in each lesson is spent practicing handwriting C . South Korea began to research the unique dedication last year D . Dr Rajendra Prasad was the third president of India
  4. (4) What's the meaning of the underlined word “ambidextrous”?
    A . Be able to write fluently B . Be able to write in many languages C . Be able to write with both hands D . Be able to write with feet

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving(保存) the past?

When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen...

At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.

Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future. I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories — I just live, and the memories form themselves.
