Freedom and Responsibility

Freedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.

Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.

In Greece, in Athens (雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.

But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian爷s pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them.What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing. Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.

Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility.There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.

But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American, James Madison, referred to: “The capacity (能力) of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Somehow in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime.

1.What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Countries where their people need help.　　 B. Governments ruled with absolute power.

C. Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom.　　 D. Powerful states with higher civilization

2.People believing in freedom are those who __________.

A. behave within the laws and value systems　　 B. seek gains as their primary object

C. regard their life as their own business　　 D. treat others with kindness and pity

3.What change in attitude took place in Athens?

A. The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.

B. The Athenians no longer took pride in the city.

C. The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.

D. The Athenians looked on the government as a business.

4.What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. Athens would continue to be free.

B. Athens would cease to have freedom.

C. Freedom would come from responsibility.

D. Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence.

5.Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison?

A. The author is proud of man’s capacity.　　 B. The author is cautious about self-government.

C. The author is skeptical of Greek civilization.　　 D. The author is hopeful about freedom.

6.What is the author’s understanding of freedom?

A. Freedom can be more popular in the digital age.

B. Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility.

C. Freedom should have priority over responsibility.

D. Freedom may come to an end in the digital age.

Worry problems are everywhere in our daily life. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to handle different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are：

Get the facts

Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. 1. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.

When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence. You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree.2. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.

Analyze the facts

3. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences (后果) of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.

4.

Unless you take your action, all you face—finding and analysing—is a waste of energy. How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Move worry out of your mind by keeping busy.5. Accept what can’t be avoided If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “It is so; it can, t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to develop a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.

A. Act on that decision.

B. It is not an easy job to get facts.

C. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.

D. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.

E. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.

F. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case.

G. Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry.

How to become happier is what most of us are after. The things that we think will make us happier—bigger paychecks, nicer homes, slimmer bodies— 1.But practices such as exercising more, socializing, getting enough sleep, and being kind to others do.

2..

Exercise causes hormonal (荷尔蒙的)changes in the body that make us feel good and help interrupt negative thoughts. Anyone who has ever experienced a runner's high will surely agree.

Increase social connections

Reconnecting with a friend can boost happiness, but so can a meaningful encounter with a stranger. 3.. In fact, many studies have found that the more we use social media, the less happy we are.

Get enough shut-eye

4..

Perform acts of kindness

Volunteering to help someone or helping others pay for their bus tickets can make us happy. Giving others a hand takes the focus away from our own worries and problems, which can boost happiness.

These constant practices arc really what's required to boost our happiness. It's like a tire that we put air into. Occasionally it leaks, and we have to put more air into it. It's not one-time thing where we learn it and we're good. 5.. Anyone who adopts and practices the strategies can truly become happier.

A.Burn some calories

B.Prioritize free time

C.don't really matter in our lives

D.But Facebook friends don't count
