17.
A.What accounts for this culture of generosity?
B.This belief is central to the national character.
C.How can a sense of generosity be cultivated?
D.Americans'generosity is rooted in selfless behavior.
E.America's philanthropic nature is not restricted to the rich.
F.The formal practice of philanthropy traces its origin to a Founding Father.
Charity-Humanity's most kind and generous desire-is a timeless and borderless virtue,dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching.Philanthropy(慈善行為)as we understand it today,however,is a distinctly American phenomenon,inseparable from the nation that shaped it.From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett,Gates and Zuckerberg,the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA.(67)F Benjamin Franklin,an icon of individual industry and frugality(節(jié)儉)even in his own day,understood that with the privilege of doing well came the price of doing good.When he died in 1790,F(xiàn)ranklin thought to future generations,leaving in trust two gifts of 1,000 Ib.of sterling silver-one to the city of Boston,the other to Philadelphia.According to his instruction,a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.
While Franklin's gifts lay in wait,the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation.(68)E Often far less famed men and women have played a critical role in philanthropy's evolution.One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald,who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated(種族隔離)South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.(69)A The answer is not just to benefit others.Tax reduction,for one,encourages the rich people to give.And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite.More troubling,however,are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary.Just before his death,Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.wrote,"Philanthropy is praise-worthy,but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary."
Franklin's gifts represent a broader principle.We are guardians of a public trust,even if our capital came from private enterprise,and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equally and more justly for more people.(70)B America's greatest strength is not the fact of perfection,but rather the act of perfecting.

2.Learning About Different Cultures
Most of us live in a multicultural surroundings these days.Culture can bring us together,but it can also be a cause of division.How does our own culture affect the way we view others?What steps can we take to minimize problems?
Once my friend,who is of Greek origin,went to Sweden on business.He was sent by the head office in the US to introduce a new computer program to their branch office in Sweden.This newly created software would cut production cost in half and speed up the time from planning to production by 30percent,as well as make the finished product look better.After presenting this program to the managers and directors,he waited for their feedback.At first it was quiet.Then,the general manager said,"Hmm,this looks good."in a flat voice."Hmm,I agree,"said another.My friend was in shock.Later on,when he told this to me,he said,"My mother used expressions such as‘Fabulous!'and‘Marvelous!'.These people were presented with a multibillion-dollar program,and all they could say was"Hmm.Good.I don't understand it!"
What was the problem?Culture.What is an acceptable way of expressing excitement and joy in one country is not the same in another.The Swedes were thrilled,and they thought it was a fantastic computer program.They just had a different way of showing it.
Another example:I remember my mother always telling me to look at her when she was talking to me,especially if it was something important.It was a way of showing that I was paying attention in a respectful way.Now,my friend from Nigeria told me that she never allows her children to look at her when she is talking."I want them to respect me,"she says.Who is right?Both.That's the beauty of culture.There is no such thing as right or wrong,good or bad culture.
Of course,one has to take into consideration people living nearby.It is true that a person has to adjust to the country where he chooses to live.On the other hand,when people move into our country,we can make an effort to get to know their culture.Ask them about their country; ask them why they do certain things or wear different clothes.It can be quite interesting,actually.This doesn't mean we have to like it,or live our lives in their way.But knowledge can definitely lead to fewer disagreements and more understanding between people.
When culture is understood and used in an appropriate way,it can give a person a feeling of belonging and security.You know what to do in different situations.For example:at the time of birth and death.Let's give place to culture.Try to know and understand other people's culture,and also try to analyze our own.Let's choose our own way of life.Above all else---let's live in peace with all men!


Title:Learning About Different Cultures
Introduction●Culture can not only bring people together but also (71)divide/separate them.

(72)Examples
●A friend of Greek origin was (73)shocked/surprised when he received ordinary feedback from some Swedish people.
●In some countries,looking at somebody when he/she is speaking is a way of showing (74)respect/politeness,while in Nigeria,it is the (75)opposite.

Facts
●People of different cultures have a different way of expressing themselves.
●All Cultures are right and good.That is where the (76)beauty of culture lies.


Solutions
●A person should be (77)considerate/thoughtful/nice/kind to the people around and learn about the local culture.
●People should also learn about the culture of those who have newly arrived.
●Learning about others'culture can be of (78)interest and can help reduce (79)disagreements/misunderstanding(s) between people.
Summary●Understanding others'culture can help people live (80)peacefully.
