A Top Student of Harvard D. Who Am I ?D“I was only joking, I told my 11-year-old son.“It was not funny, he said. “You hurt my feelings. His blue eyes were full of tears.And then I remembered all the times people had hurt my feelings. For examples, my father always teased me about my shortage of cooking skills. “ Well , look at that, he’d say, “you didn’t boil the water for the noodles today. “You’d better find a husband who can cook, or he’ll be hungry all the time. or “ Are you sure that’s safe to eat ? He was only joking, of course. The strange thing is that my father has never eaten anything I’ve cooked. The one time in my life I prepared a meal for my parents, he chose not to eat it. That hurt me, too.Now, at 35 years old, I want to be in the field of self-development and respect. I help others know and enjoy their own advantages. Yet, here I am, unable to get past the hurtful words my father said to me. Whenever I cook, his words come back to me. I don’t invite people over for dinner because I worry they will leave hungry and laugh at me . The one or two times a year that we do have guests, I start each meal with an apology .We all have experienced teasing in our lives. Now think about the things you have said to your children, your friends or coworkers. Have you made an experience that may stop their dreams coming true? Have you laughed at them about their greatest shortcoming, making it even harder for them to overcome it?So, next time we are joking, we should look around and make sure that everyone is enjoying the jokes. Words said jokingly might be as dangerous as an incorrectly filled prescription . 【查看更多】

     

    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

      A turkey named Courage gave thanks to President Obama for saving his life on the day before Thanksgiving. Honouring a 62-year-old tradition, the President pardoned(赦免)the bird on Thanksgiving eve.
    The tradition of a turkey pardon at Thanksgiving began with President Truman in 1947. Courage comes from Ellsworth, Iowa. The name Courage was chosen by voters (投票人)who took part in a survey posted on the White House website. The lucky turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden and posed for the cameras at the presidential podium(讲台).
    The dinner that has become known as the First Thanksgiving was actually a harvest festival celebrated in December of 1621. That’s when English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, gave thanks for the progress they had made after a hard winter in their new country. As America grew, Thanksgiving customs also spread and got bigger. George Washington declared that the first national Thanksgiving would be on November 26, 1789. In the decades to follow, however, people celebrated Thanksgiving locally, with no official date. President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November 1863 a national day of Thanksgiving. It stayed that way until 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved it one week earlier. He wanted to lengthen the shopping period before Christmas to encourage gift-buyers and to help businesses. So Congress（议会） ruled that, after 1941, Thanksgiving would be an official federal holiday falling on the fourth Thursday of November.
    This year we celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, November. Millions of Americans got together to give thanks with friends and family. The lucky turkey, Courage, was one of them. After his pardon, Courage would be sent to Disneyland Resort in California, where he would be the grand assemble of Disney’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
