The family business grew and prospered throughout the 1930s, 40s and 50s, and by 1961 Mr. Mattus decided to form a new company dedicated to his ice cream vision. He called his new brand Hä agenDazs, to convey an aura of the old-world traditions and craftsmanship to which he remained dedicated. Hä agen-Dazs started out with only three flavors: vanilla, chocolate and coffee. But Mr. Mattus’ passion for quality soon took him to the four corners of the globe. The Hä agen-Dazs brand quickly developed a loyal following. Then in 1976, Mr. Mattus’ daughter Doris opened the first Hä agen-Dazs shop. It was an immediate success, and its popularity led to a rapid expansion of Hä agen-Dazs shops across the country.

I. On the Origin of Racism
Debates over the origins of racism often suffer from a lack of _c_la_r_it_y over the term. Many mix recent forms of racism with earlier forms of ethnic and national conflict. In most cases ethno-national conflict seems to _o_w_e_ to conflict over land and strategic resources. In some cases ethnicity and nationalism were _h_ar_n_e_s_s_e_d to wars between great religious empires (for example, the Muslim Turks and the Catholic Austro-Hungarians). As Benedict Anderson has suggested ethnic _id_e_n_t_it_y and ethno-nationalism became a source of conflict within such empires with the rise of print-capitalism.

大学英语精读第二册第二单元作文仿写：The Power of PerseveranceIn the journey of life, perseverance stands as a beacon of hope, guiding us through the darkest of nights. It is the indomitable spirit that transforms ordinary individuals into extraordinary achievers. The story of Thomas Edison, the renowned inventor of the light bulb, is a testament to the power of perseverance. Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks, Edison never gave up on his quest to invent a practical and long-lasting light source. His unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of his goal eventually led him to success, revolutionizing the way people lived and worked.Similarly, the journey of learning English, especially for non-native speakers, can be fraught with difficulties. The language, with its intricate grammar and vast vocabulary, often poses a formidable challenge. However, it is through perseverance that learners are able to master this language and unlock the doors to a world of opportunities. They must persevere through the initialstages of struggle and frustration, gradually building up their language skills through regular practice and exposure. Perseverance does not mean stubbornly sticking to one path regardless of obstacles. Instead, it involves adapting to changes, learning from failures, and finding new ways to achieve one's goals. It requires a flexible mindset and the ability to pivot when necessary. This was exactly what Edison did when he faced setbacks in his experiments. Instead of giving up, he persevered by adjusting his approach and trying new methods.Moreover, perseverance is not a solitary endeavor. It thrives in communities that foster a culture of support and encouragement. Just as Edison had a team of collaborators and mentors who believed in his vision, learners of English also benefit from having a supportive network of teachers, peers, and mentors. This network provides them with the motivation, resources, and guidance necessary to persevere through the challenges of language learning.In conclusion, perseverance is the key to unlocking success in any endeavor. It is the driving force that propels us forward, helping us overcome obstacles andachieve our goals. The story of Thomas Edison and the journey of learning English are powerful examples of this truth. As we embark on our own life journeys, let us remember that with perseverance, no dream is too big, and no challenge is too great.**坚持的力量**在人生旅途中，坚持就像一盏希望的明灯，引领我们穿越最深的黑暗。

英语第二单元Jefferson died long ago, but many of his ideas are still of great interest.杰斐逊已谢世很久，但他的许多思想仍使我们感到很大的兴趣。
closeLessons from JeffersonBruce Bliven 1RT Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, may be less famous than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, butmost people remember at least one fact about him: he wrote theDeclaration of Independence.杰斐逊的遗训布鲁斯·布利文美国第三任总统托马斯·杰斐逊也许不像乔治·华盛顿和亚伯拉罕·林肯那样著名，但大多数人至少记得有关他的一件事实：是他写的《独立宣言》。
close2RT Although Jefferson lived more than 200 years ago, there is much that we can learn from him today. Many of his ideas are especially interesting to modern youth. Here are some of the things he said and wrote:虽然杰斐逊生活在二百多年以前，但我们今天仍可以从他身上学到很多东西。
他的许多思想对当代青年来说特别有意义。
下面就是他讲过和写过的一些观点：close3RT Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books and that personal investigation is important. When still a young man, he was appointed to a committee to find out whether the South Branch of the James River was deep enough to be used by large boats. While the other members of the committee sat in the state capitol and studied papers on the subject, Jefferson got into a canoe and made on-the-spot observations.自己去看。
杰斐逊认为，一个自由的人除了从书本中获取知识外，还可以从许多别的来源获得知识；他认为，亲自做调查是很重要的。
在他还很年轻的时候，他就被任命为一个委员会的成员，去调查詹姆斯河南部支流的水深是否足以通行大型船只。
委员会的其他成员都坐在州议会大厦内研究有关这一问题的文件，而杰斐逊却跳进一只独木舟去做现场观测。
close4RT You can learn from everyone. By birth and by education Jefferson belonged to the highest social class. Yet, in a day when few noble persons ever spoke to those of humble origins except to give an order, Jefferson went out of his way to talk with gardeners, servants, and waiters. Jefferson once said to the French nobleman, Lafayette, "You must go into the people's homes as I have done, look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied and understand the revolution that is threatening France."你可以向任何人学习。
按出身及其所受的教育，杰斐逊均属于最高的社会阶层。
然而，在那个贵人们除了发号施令以外很少跟出身卑贱的人说话的年代，杰斐逊却常破例跟园丁、仆人和侍者交谈。
有一次杰斐逊曾这样对法国贵族拉斐特说过：“你必须像我那样到平民百姓的家里去，看看他们的锅里煮些什么，吃吃他们的面包。
只要你肯这样做，你就会发现老百姓为什么会不满意，你就会理解正在威胁着法国的革命。
”close5RT Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to accept other people's opinions without careful thought. "Neither believe nor reject anything," he wrote to his nephew, "because any other person has rejected or believed it. Heaven has given you a mind for judging truth and error. Use it."自己作判断。
未经过认真的思考，杰斐逊绝不接受别人的意见。
他在给侄子的信中写道：“不要因为别的人相信或拒绝了什么东西，你也就去相信它或拒绝它。
上帝赐予你一个用来判断真理和谬误的头脑。
那你就运用它吧。
”close6RT Jefferson felt that the people "may safely be trusted to hear everything true and false, and to form a correct judgment. Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."杰斐逊觉得，人民“是完全可以信赖的，应该让他们听到一切真实和虚伪的东西，然后作出正确的判断。
倘使让我来决定，我们是应该有一个政府而不要报纸呢还是应该有报纸而不要政府，我会毫不犹豫地选择后者。
”close7RT Do what you believe is right. In a free country there will always be conflicting ideas, and this is a source of strength. It is conflict and not unquestioning agreement that keeps freedom alive. Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his critics. He expressed his philosophy in letters to a friend, "There are two sides to every question. If you take one side with decision and act on it with effect, those who take the other side will of course resent your actions."做你认为是正确的事。
在一个自由的国家里总会有各种相互冲突的思想，而这正是力量的源泉。
使自由保持活力的是冲突而不是绝对的一致。
虽然有好多年杰斐逊一直受到激烈的批评，但他从不回应那些批评他的人。
他在写给一位朋友的信中表达了自己的观点：“每个问题都有两面。
如果你坚决站在一面并根据它有效地采取行动，那么，站在另一面的那些人当然会对你的行动怨恨不满。
”close8RT Trust the future; trust the young. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness. "No society," he said, "can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs to the living generation." He did not fear new ideas, nor did he fear the future. "How much pain," he remarked, "has been caused by evils which have never happened! I expect the best, not the worst. I steer my ship with hope, leaving fear behind."相信未来，相信青年。
杰斐逊认为，绝不可以用那些已经无用的习俗来束缚住“现在”的手脚。
他说：“没有哪个社会可以制订一部永远适用的宪法，甚至连一条永远适用的法律也制订不出来。
地球是属于活着的一代的。
”他不害怕新思想，也不惧怕未来。
他评论说：“有多少痛苦是由一些从未发生过的灾难引起的啊！我期待的是最好的东西，而不是最坏的东西。
我满怀希望地驾驶着自己的航船，而把恐惧抛在后面。
”close9RT Jefferson's courage and idealism were based on knowledge. He probably knew more than any other man of his age. He was an expert in agriculture, archeology, and medicine. He practiced crop rotation and soil conservation a century before these became standard practice,and he invented a plow superior to any other in existence. He influenced architecture throughout America, and he was constantly producing devices for making the tasks of ordinary life easier to perform.杰斐逊的勇气和理想主义是以知识为基础的。
