[1]Do Americans have any morals?That's a good question.Many people insist that ideas about right and wrong are merely personal opinions.Some voices,though,are calling Americans back to traditional moral values.William J.Bennett,former U.S Secretary of Education,edited The Book of Virtues in 1993 to do justthat.Bennett suggests that great moral stories can build character.The success of Bennett's book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values.But what are they?
[2]One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty.The well-known legend about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly.Little George cut down his father's favorite cherry tree while trying out his new hatchet.When his father asked him about it,George said,"I cannot tell a lie.I did it with my hatchet."Instead of punishment.George received praise for .Sometimes American honesty-being open and direct-can offend people.But Americans still believe that"honesty is the best policy."
[3]Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance.Remember Aesop's fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a race?The rabbit thought he could win easily,so he took a nap.But the turtle finally won because he did not give up.
[4]In no way can this brief description cover all the moral values honored by Americans.Courage,responsibility,loyalty,gratitude and many others could be discussed.In fact,Bennett's bestseller-over 800 pages-highlights just ten virtues.Even Bennett admits that he has only scratched the surface.But no matter how long or short the list,moral values,are invaluable.They are the foundation of American culture and any culture.

分析 文章主要介紹了幾個美國道德德行,意在告訴讀者美國道德德行是什么.
