东莞大郎英语培训，首选优恩国际英语 he Meaning of Life: Respect for Others 生活的意义： 给予别人的尊重 Everyone’s Name is Important 每个人的名字都是重要的 During my second month of college, our professor gave us a quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school? 在大学的第二个月里，我们的教授做了一个小测试。我本来是个认真的学生，轻松地就回答完题目，直到最后一个问题：打扫学校卫生的女的叫什么名字？ Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. 毫无疑问地，这真的有点搞笑。我看过几次做清洁的女的。她是高个儿，乌黑的头发，年龄在50岁左右，但是我怎么会知道她的名字？我就交卷了，最后那问题是空着的。 Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. 就在下课前，有个学生问最后那问题是否也算分数？ Absolutely, said the professor. In your careers, you will meet many people.? All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello.” “肯定了”教授回答说。“在你们的人生生涯中你们会遇见很多人，他们都是很重要的。他们应该值得你们的关注和关心，哪怕你只是笑一笑和简单地问候” Respect Those who Serve 尊重为我们服务的 In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. 在一个冰淇淋雪糕花费很少的时候，一个10岁的男孩子走进了一个酒店的咖啡店，然后坐下。一个女服务员给他倒了杯水，放在他面前。 How much is an ice cream sundae? he asked. “一个冰淇淋圣代多少钱？”他问道。 Fifty cents, replied the waitress. “50美分，”女服务员回答说。 The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream? he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.  小男孩把他的手从口袋里伸出来，细数着里面的硬币。“那么，一碟原味的冰淇淋多少钱呢？”他询问着。这个时候，等桌子的人越来越多了，那女服务员开始不耐烦了。 Thirty-five cents, she brusquely replied. “35美分，”她就草率地回答说。 The little boy again counted his coins. Ill have the plain ice cream, he said. 小男孩再次数数他的硬币。“我要一碟原味的冰淇淋雪糕。”他说。 The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. Th
