14、 the video,we know that the children did not tell their father the real reason why they were late for dinner to avoid“making him boiling mad at”them.At first,they told their father they had gone for blueberry picking.Their father uncovered their plot by saying,“Its too early for blueberries.”Then th
15、e children switched to another story of strawberry.Not pleased at the childrens answers,the father finally declared,“Very well!Since you obviously stuffed yourselves with thousands of delicious berries you cant be hungry anymore,so Ill just have to simply tell Frau Schmidt to skip your dinner.”Judgi
16、ng from their intention,the childrens lies are white ones.During my childhood,my parents were too strict with me to allow of any failure in my studies and I had done well in them.But one day I failed in a math quiz and had to return my paper to the teacher with my fathers signatures on it.To prevent
17、 him from getting angry,I pretended to practice my handwriting after lunch that day,asking him for the skills.When he went into my trap and when it was time to go to school,I said to him,“Dad,you are good at handwriting,but have you ever tried writing,with your eyes closed,your name in a given space
18、 as beautifully as usual?”He was delighted to have a try.But when he opened his eyes,I had disappeared with his signatures on my paper.返回返回Path of thinking:1.Please describe some phenomena caused by the decline of honesty in our social life?2.What would happen to our society if there were no more ho
19、nesty in it?keySummary:Believe it or not,these years have seen a sharp decline of honesty in our social life.As a result of it,many phenomena contrary to our original wishes have come into our daily life.First of all,more and more students cheat on exams to preserve their false masks.Second,the decl
20、ine of honesty in business has led fake commodities to flood our markets,leaving the consumers at high risk.And worst of all,corrupt officials,due to the lack of honesty in their use of power,have done a heavy damage to the Partys image as well as to the peoples interests.If there existed no more ho
21、nesty in our society,therefore,we have little idea about what it would be like.But one point is certain:things would turn for the worse.On campus,there would be no more hard-working students,with teachers and students trading what they have for each others needs.In business,traders would turn a blin
22、d eye to the regulations in their games.And in official circles,there would be no limit to the corrupt officials enjoyment of the pleasures their positions offer them.In one word,our society would become a hell for us to live in.So there is much need to build up honesty.返回返回Main ideaDevicesMain idea

35、 never last but tough people do,”as Robert Schuller says.In other words,face reality and be mature in your responses to lifes challenges.Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.Integrity means you do what
36、 you do because its right and not just fashionable orpolitically correct.A life of principle,of not yielding to the tempting attractions of an easy morality,will always win the day.It will take you forward into the twenty-first century without having to check your tracks in a rear-view mirror.My gra
