5、e time.I never lie to my parents and my friends.However,I wasnt quite responsible for my studies at the beginning of the first term in senior high.It was difficult for me to fit in with this new school and the new curriculum.I had failed several tests before I started to seriously consider my studie

6、s.How do you understand the quote from Noam Chomsky?In my opinion,the quote means that a decent person should be honest and have integrity.This can be seen as his or her responsibility.What do you think is the relationship between honesty and responsibility according to the descriptions?Honesty and

7、responsibility are inevitably connected to one another.For example,you are acting responsibly if you take agreements seriously,and practising honesty when you keep promises and do not make promises you cannot keep.When you are prepared to admit mistakes and think about how your actions will affect o

8、thers,you are showing your trustworthiness.All these actions demonstrate the relationship between acting honestly and responsibly.What other descriptions of honesty and responsibility can you add to the lists?Practising honesty includes accepting yourself.If you do that,you will not feel pressured t

9、o create untruths,for you will be comfortable with who you are.In turn,others will respect you for your honesty and know that they can trust you.Practising responsibility also requires the willingness to clear up misunderstandings with others.Often situations arise in which you and the other person

10、may misunderstand one another and want to react negatively.However,the responsible action is to have a nice discussion and explain your thoughts.Taking this action shows a willingness not only to work through a difficult circumstance,but also to establish good relations with others.Give examples of

11、dishonest or irresponsible acts and point out the consequences of those acts.At school,some students plagiarize others homework or cheat in tests.Some fail to hand in their assignments on time or spend little time on their studies.All these acts can lead to undesired or even fake academic performanc

12、e.Most importantly,they prevent students from developing into adults with strong moral values.Can you list some other moral values?Why are they important?Moral values include integrity,loyalty,respect,kindness,humility,generosity,compassion,etc.They are important because they are connected with the

13、principles of right and wrong behaviour.They help us make choices that bring benefits to ourselves and everyone else.PART 03What is the most difficult choice you have made in your life so far?I used to play for our schools basketball team.We would have regular training sessions at least three times

14、a week,with games every other weekend.Since it took up too much time,I was struggling to cope with my studies,which resulted in my average academic performance.My parents were not happy,and neither was I.At the end of last term,I decided to drop out of the team.It was such a difficult choice because

15、 I had a real enthusiasm for basketball.Luckily,I havent given up basketball altogether,and I play for fun with my friends when I have some free time.Do you think time can change a person?Why or why not?Yes,I think time can change a person.Our bodies change physically over time.Besides,people are ca

16、pable of learning from the experiences they have had and the people they have met along the way,so their ideas and behaviour may be influenced accordingly.No,I dont think time can change a person.Even though a persons body shape can change a lot over time,certain physical features,especially on the

17、face,generally wont change unless he or she undergo plastic surgery for some reason.Besides,a persons most basic nature and characteristics are deeply rooted in his or her early life experiences;they tend to remain more or less the same throughout the persons life.Predict what the story might be abo

18、utThe title and the silhouettes on page 2 indicate that this story may involve two men and their story before and after twenty years.The man on the left looks like a policeman.The one on the right looks like someone who may not be that righteous.He stands in front of a door of a store,which may be t

19、he location where the story happens.The illustration on page 3 shows two men on the street,probably the same ones in the silhouettes.Judging from their outfits and movements,I guess the policeman is about to arrest the shorter man,who seems to be very shocked.I wonder what happened between them.Bob

20、met Jimmy,and the two talked about old times.Bob realized that the man was not his best friend,Jimmy Wells.The man arrested Bob.Bob received a note from Jimmy Wells that explained his actions.1.Why did Bob stand in the doorway of a store to wait for his friend?The store used to be Big Joe Bradys res

21、taurant,where the two men had agreed to meet.2.Why had Bob left New York twenty years before?Bob had wanted to head for the West to make his fortune.3.What time did the man in the long overcoat meet Bob?Around 10:20 p.m.4.How did Bob realize that the man in the long overcoat was not Jimmy?Bob realiz

22、ed this when he saw the mans face in the bright light of the drugstore.5.When did Jimmy know Bob was the criminal wanted in Chicago?When Bob struck the match to light his cigar.How do you like the ending of this short story?I found the ending of this short story very surprising.I never expected an a

23、rrest to happen.It is a clever twist to the storys ending,which is the unique style of O.Henry.What do you think is the message of this short story?I believe the message of this story is that a persons responsibility to society should be stronger than a friendship.Supposing the story did not end her

24、e,what would happen next?Silky Bob shook his head in disbelief.Hed spoken to Jimmy,yet failed to recognize his old friends face and voice.Bob felt disappointed thinking about how Jimmy pretended to be a stranger to him,but still wanted to believe that Jimmy was the truest and most reliable fellow in

25、 the world.Could I speak to Jimmy,I mean Patrolman Wells?Bob asked,on arriving at the station.A few minutes later,Jimmy appeared,and Bob could see sadness in his eyes.Hello,Bob.Im glad you kept our appointment after twenty years,but Im sorry it had to end this way.Bob hung his head in shame,Me too.S

26、eeing you again has reminded me of who I used to be.I shouldve stayed here with you twenty years ago.At least you would have helped me distinguish right from wrong.Jimmy put his hand on Bobs shoulder and said,Ill always be your friend and Ill help you be the good old Bob again.The first step is to t

27、ake responsibility for your illegal actions.Bob nodded and walked into his jail cell as the door was locked behind him.Jack caught Dean cheating on a test by looking up answers on his mobile phone.As the monitor and Deans best friend,Jack pointed out his wrongdoing after the test and asked him not t

28、o do it again.However,Dean didnt take it seriously and asked Jack not to tell anyone.What should Jack do if Dean cheats again?Jack pointed out Deans dishonest behaviour because as the monitor and his best friend,he thought it was his responsibility to remind Dean and he expected Dean to behave respo

29、nsibly.I think Jack is a responsible and honest person.If Dean cheats again,it only means they dont share the same values.Plus,as the monitor,it is Jacks duty to report Deans wrongdoing to the teacher.If this happens,hopefully Dean will learn his lesson and appreciate Jacks reasons for reporting his
