Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but fai

13、led.There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “apple-polishing“soft-soaping“ or “buttering-up“. A gift is just one way to “soft-soap“ somebody, or to “butter him up“. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise telling him how good he looks, or how well he speak

14、s, or how talented and wise he is.Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is.

15、t hurt unless we are carried away by it. But if we just lap it up for its good value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century leg

16、end of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers.

Explain it.34 What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answer lies in the way Americans liv

21、e today.
