Unit1 种族或民族的传承就如性别和社会等级一样对塑造身份很重要，并且种族还能影响一个人的生活质量、教育机会和职场晋升。长期以来美国社会挣扎着去面对和克服基于民族的种族主义和种族歧视问题。远在内战开始前，美国各反奴隶制群体就开始反对奴役美国黑人并致力于废除全美奴隶制度的工作，不光是美国黑人因肤色和民族而遭受不公的待遇和歧视，这些群体还包括：19世纪被运到美国修建穿越全美铁路的中国人，19世纪后期为了寻求更好生活的欧洲移民，20世纪为了养家而赴美做苦力的日本人以及从北部移居美国的拉美人。由于人们对种族，阶级和性别之间相互影响的意识增强，从小学到研究生各个层次的学校课程都包含了关于种族、等级和性别的内容或者说开设了致力于我们个人身份和个人历史重要成分的整套课程。 UNIT 2 毋庸置疑，语言也是一种政治工具、手段，以及权利的证明。它是个人身份的最鲜明而又最重要的特征: 它揭示了个人身份，使一个人与公众或社区的身份相关联或分离。在某些特定的时间和地点，讲某种语言是危险的，甚至是致命的。再或者，一个人也许和其他人说同一种语言，但是他说话的方式会使他的家世被暴露，或（也有可能正如他所期望的）被隐藏起来。这一点在法国如此，在英格兰也更是如此： 在那个潮湿小岛上的（占主导地位的）方言，使得英格兰人完全理解英格兰岛上所使用的英语，但对于其他岛外的人来说，却完全无法理解这种语言。在英格兰开口讲话，就相当于（如果我可以用一句黑人英语来说的话）”把你的一切公诸于世”： 你已经对人坦白了你的父母双亲，你的青年时代，你的教育背景，你的个人收入，你的自尊，甚至还有你的前途。 UNIT
4.除了立法之外，国会听证会在没有来自市民的群众团体的压力下是不可能取得任何成就的。最终，你的信件、电话和传真才能成为反抗电视暴力的最好武器，并可以抑制犯罪，保障你在宪法第二修正案中的权益。当你在电视节目中看到一些毫无意义而又不必要的暴力时，给相关的电视网络管理人写信，让他们了解你的感受。更好的方法是记下在暴力节目播出的间隙有哪些产品和服务在广告中播出，并且对那些公司的领导讲出你的愤怒和不满。最后，只有作为消费者、电视观众和选民的你，可以要求消除那些使我们社会的充满血腥暴力的电视节目。如果所有的美国来福枪协会成员和持枪者在这场反抗中能尽到他们的本分，我们就可以消除那些威胁到孩子和我们的权利法案的电视暴力节目。 UNIT 5 我父亲是芝加哥学派的一名经济学家，所以我的儿时记忆都是有关科斯定理，施蒂格勒经济法则和买卖排放权的重要性等内容。当其他孩子还在地毯上玩耍，对怪兽充满恐惧的时候，我却在和那些貌似浮动而实际上很稳定的竞争性货币打交道，还时不时地做着有关美联储将要破坏商业周期的噩梦。我是女生的这个事实从未被真正提到过，就像拥有一双蓝眼睛也仅仅是我的一个事实一样。有时，我会把作为女孩当作是一种特殊的奖励： 比如说成为啦啦队队员，被带去参加正式舞会。对于我来说，参加所谓的“女性”活动并不意味着我受到了某种压迫或是这类活动阻碍了我的思想或妨碍了我做其他我想做的事。毕竟，当我从舞会回来的时候，可以为自己所做出的任何选择与父亲一起讨论。事实上，我也听到过一些人说作为一名女性并不都意味为着享受快乐和游戏，但是这些人一般都被称作女权主义者，正如每个新进的保守派所知道的那样，女权主义者往往都是夸张的。 实际上，也正因如此你才能分辨出他们是女权主义者——因为他们一直都在夸大其词。不要问我如何知道的这些或是这些对于我思想有什么影响。正如任何一个有自己思想体系的人所知道的那样，你不是在提出问题而仅仅是在为你的信念寻找证据。拥有自己的思想体系指的就是这个。 UNIT

Part I Wisdom and Beliefs Unit 1 Confucian thought on heaven and humanity Confucius (551-479 BC), known in China as Kongzi, given name Qiu and alias Zhongni, was a native of Zouyi (present-day Qufu in Shandong Province) of the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). A great thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism, Confucius is an ancient sage to the Chinese people. His words and life story were recorded by his disciples and their students in The Analects (Lunyu). Confucius on Heaven: the source of Everything In the Shang (1600-1046 BC) and Zhou (1046-256 BC) dynasties, the prevalent concept of “Heaven”was that of a personified god, which influenced Confucius. Generally, however, Confucius regarded “Heaven”as nature. He said, “Heaven does not speak in words. It speaks through the rotation of the four seasons and the growth of all living things.” Obviously, heaven equaled nature, in the eyes of Confucius. Moreover, nature was not a lifeless mechanism separate from humans; instead, it was the great world of life and the process of creation of life. Human life was part and parcel of nature as a whole. Confucius on People: ren and li Ren and Li are the two core concepts of Confucius’s doctrine about people. When his students Fan Chi asked him about ren, Confucius replied, “love people”. This is Confucius’ most important interpretation of ren. Love for the people is universal love. Confucius further emphasized that this kind of love should “begin with the love for one’s parents”. He believed no one could love people in general if they did not even love their own parents. Confucius regarded “filial piety and fraternal duty”as the essence of ren. The Doctrine of the Mean (Zhongyong) quotes Confucius as saying, “ The greatest love for people is the love for one’s parents.” He also said, “Children should not travel far while their parents are alive. If they have no choice but to do so, they must retain some restraint.” He did not mean that children should not leave their parents at all. What he meant was that children should not make the parents anxious about them while away from home. Confucius said again, “Children should think often of the age of their parents. They should feel happy for the health and longevity of their parents. They should also feel concern for the aging of their parents.” By ren, Confucius meant universal love based on love for one’s parents. How should people love one another then? Confucius said, “One should be aware that other people may have similar desires as oneself. While fulfilling one’s desires, allow others to fulfill their desires as well.” He further said, “Do not do toward others anything you would not want to be done to you.” Thus from oneself to one’s family, from family to society, one should extend love to all people. Mencius (c. 372-289 BC), a great Confucian scholar, best summarized ren as, “loving one’s parents, loving the people, loving everything in the world.” Li refers to rituals, traditions and norms in social life. Of these, Confucius regarded burial rituals and ancestral worship rituals as the most important, because they rose from human feelings. He said, “A child should not leave his parents’ bosom until he is three years old.” He naturally love his parents. The ritual of wearing mourning for a deceased parent for three years was an expression of the child’s love and remembrance. Confucius on the State of life

Confucius named Qiu styled Zhongni, a great thinker and educator in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and the founder of Confucianism. Confucius instructed more than 3000 disciples and some were from poor families. Confucius gradually changed the tradition that only nobilities had the right to receive education. In his later years , Confucius compiled many literary works of ancient times, including The Book of Songs ,The Book of Documents, and The Books of Changes. His saying and behaviors were compiled in The Analects of Confucius by his disciples. His ideology has been absorbed and carried composing the essential part of Chinese traditional ideology. It was also spread into the border regions and areas building up a circle of Confucianism. UNESCO labeled him one of the “Ten Culture Celebrities”. 孔子 孔子名丘字仲尼，春秋末期伟大的思想家和教育家，儒家学派创史人。孔子一共教授了三千多个学生，其中不乏贫困家庭的孩子，改变了只有贵族子女才有资格上学的传统。孔子晚年还编订上古书籍，《诗经》《尚书》《周易》等。孔子的言行被他的弟子们收集在《论语》中，他的思想也被后人吸收和发扬光大，成为中国传统思想最主要的组成部分，并逐渐传播到周边国家，形成了影响范围很广的儒家文化圈。联合国教科文组织曾将孔子列入世界十大文化名人之一。 Beijing Opera Beijing Opera is the most popular and influential opera in China with a history of almost 200 years. In development Beijing Opera has formed a number of fictitious props. For instance a pedal means a boat. Without any physical props involved , an actor may perform going upstairs or downstairs opening or closing a door by mere gestures. Though exaggerated those actions would give audience an impression with graceful movements. There are four main roles sheng dan jing and chou. A sheng or dan has the eyebrows painted and eyes circled. A jing and chou have their facial makeup ,for example, a red face depicts the loyalty and bravery and a white face symbolizes treachery and guile. 京剧 京剧是中国流行的最广泛影响最大的一个剧种，拥有两百多年的历史。在长期的发展过程中，京剧形成了一套虚拟表演动作，如一条桨就可以代表一只船。不需要任何的道具，演员就能表现出上楼、下楼，开门、关门等动作，虽然经赤了夸张但这些动作能给观众既真实又优美的感觉。京剧演员分生、旦、净、丑四个行当，生和旦的化痕迹要描眉、吊眉、画眼圈，净丑面部需要化妆，比如，红脸表示忠诚勇猛，白脸表示奸险。

中国龙 对龙图腾的崇拜在中国大约已绵延了八千多年。中国龙是古人将鱼，蛇，马，牛等动物与云雾，雷电等自然天象集合而成的一种神物。中国龙的形成与中华民族的多元融合过程同步。在中国人的心目中，龙具有振奋腾飞，开拓变化的寓意和团结凝聚的精神。 Chinese Dragon Dragon totem worship in China has been around for the last 8,000 years. The ancients in China considered the dragon (or Loong) a fetish that combines animals including the fish, snake, horse and ox with cloud, thunder, lightning and other natural celestial phenomena. The Chinese dragon was formed in accordance with the multicultural fusion process of the Chinese nation. To the Chinese, the dragon signifies innovation and cohesion. 饺子 饺子是深受中国人民喜爱的传统特色食品。相传为古代医圣仲景发明。饺子的制作是包括：1）擀皮、2）备馅、3）包馅水煮三个步骤。其特点是皮薄馅嫩，味道鲜美，形状独特，百食不厌。民间有"好吃不过饺子"的俗语。中国人接亲待友。逢年过节都有包饺子吃的习俗，寓意吉利。对崇尚亲情的中国人来说，"更岁交子"吃饺子，更是欢度除夕、辞旧迎新必不可少的容。 Dumplings Dumplings are one of the Chinese people's favorite traditional dishes. According to an ancient Chinese legend, dumplings were first made by the medical saint-Zhang Zhongjing. There are three steps involved in making dumplings: 1) make dumpling wrappers out of dumpling flour; 2) prepare the dumpling stuffing; 3) make dumplings and boil them. With thin and elastic dough skin, freshen and tender stuffing, delicious taste, and unique shapes, dumplings are worth eating hundreds of times. There's an old saying that claims, "Nothing could be more delicious than dumplings." During the Spring Festival and other holidays or when treating relatives and friends, Chinese people like to follow the auspicious custom of eating dumplings. To Chinese people who show high reverence for family love, having dumplings at the moment the old year is replaced by the new is an essential part of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the New Year. 针灸 针灸是中医学的重要组成部分。按照中医的经络理论，针灸疗法主要是通过疏通经络、调和气血，来达到阴阳归于平衡，使脏腑趋于调和之目的。其特点是"病外治"。主要疗法是用针刺入病人身体的一定穴位，或用艾火的温热刺激烧灼病人的穴位。以达到刺激经络，治疗病痛的目的。针灸以其独特的优势，流传至今病传播到了世界，与中餐、功夫、中药一起被海外赞誉为中国的"新四大国粹"。 Acupuncture Acupuncture is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In accordance with the "main and collateral channels" theory in TCM, the purpose of acupuncture is to dredge the channel and regulate qi and blood, so as to keep the body's yin and yang balanced and achieve reconciliation between the internal organs. It features in traditional Chinese medicine that "internal diseases are to b e treated with external therapy"/ the main therapy of acupuncture involves using needles to pierce certain acupoints of the patient's body, or adopting moxibustion to stimulate the patient's acupoints so as to stimulate the channels
