24、 parents across the country create homes in which tolerance and understanding are guiding themes. “The goal of nurturing open-minded, empathetic children is a challenging one,“ says Jennifer Holladay, director of Tolerance. org. “To cultivate tolerance, parents have to instill in children a sense of

25、 empathy, respect and responsibilityto oneself and to othersas well as the recognition that every person on earth is a treasure.“ Holladay offers several ways parents can promote tolerance:Talk about tolerance. Tolerance education is an ongoing process; it cannot be captured in a single moment. Esta

26、blish a high comfort level for open dialogue about social issues. Let children know that no subject is taboo. Identify intolerance when children are exposed to it. Point out stereotypes and cultural misinformation depicted in movies, TV shows, computer games and other media. Challenge bias when it c

27、omes from friends and family members. Do not let the moment pass. Begin with a qualified statement: “Andrew just called people of XYZ faith lunatics. What do you think about that, Zoe?“ Let children do most of the talking. Challenge intolerance when it comes from your children. When a child says or

28、does something that reflects biases or embraces stereotypes, confront the child: “What makes that joke funny, Jerome?“ Guide the conversation toward internalization of empathy and respect“Mimi uses a walker, honey. How do you think she would feel about that joke?“ or “How did you feel when Robbie ma

29、de fun of your glasses last week?“ Support your children when they are the victims of intolerance. Respect childrens troubles by acknowledging when they become targets of bias. Dont minimize the experience. Provide emotional support and then brainstorm constructive responses. For example, develop a

30、set of comebacks to use when children are the victims of name-calling. Create opportunities for children to interact with people who are different from them. Look critically at how a child defines “normal.“ Expand the definition. Visit playgrounds where a variety of children are presentpeople of dif

31、ferent races, socioeconomic backgrounds, family structures, etc. Encourage a child to spend time with eldersgrandparents, for example. Encourage children to call upon community resources. A child who is concerned about world hunger can volunteer at a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter. The earli

32、er children interact with the community, the better. This will help convey the lesson that we are not islands unto ourselves. Model the behavior you would like to see. As a parent and as your childs primary role model, be consistent in how you treat others. Remember, you may say, “Do as I say, not a

33、s I do,“ but actions really do speak louder than words.（分数：4.00）(1).Which of the following statements is TRUE about Tolerance. org? A. It is a Web site from the Northern Poverty Law Center. B.

Their grandparents D. Their peers（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.九、BPassage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)In the world of entertainment, TV

38、 talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer

39、and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “trash talk“. The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hale, conflict and morality to a different level. Cle

40、arly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society s moral catastrophes, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (133%) of other people s lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The

41、 show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual s quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry en

42、ds every show with a “final word“. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show s main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most

43、of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They ar

44、e the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show s exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of

45、fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.（分数：5.00）(1).Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _ .
