the fewest possible words not exceeding 10 words Hard work has been an important part of the American belief from the nation s beginning The American idea that hard work was to be esteemed distinguished us from Europeans who admired their gentlemen of leisure For us hard work rather than idleness was the way to distinction Now however like many other traditional values hard work is coming under attack In academic journals conferences and classrooms the idea of hard work is considered to be another of those notions that the dominant forces in our society i e white males impose on the rest of us It merely advances white male interests as any woman or minority foolish enough to buy into 接受 the dominant value system will find out In the recent survey high school students in the United States and Japan were asked to rank factors that contributed to success in the classroom Of the Japanese 72 percent listed hard work first while only 27 percent of the American agreed Many factors contribute to the devaluating of hard work Thinking that self esteem is crucial many parents and teachers hesitate to point out a student s failings even laziness To make matters worse Americans place an unusually high value on the idea of innate ability And aptitude inevitably de emphasizes the role that hard work plays in success But if our students fail to see that hard work matters it is because we are telling them time and again that it doesn t If we want young people to esteem hard work it is up to us to show them its worth its strength and its significance in everyday life 1 What s the author s opinion on hard work 2 What does the word notion Line 3 Para 2 mean 3 Who are likely to work hard according to the survey 4 What are the factors that cause young Americans

carefully Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words not exceeding 10 words The Enlightenment 启蒙运动 and the Romantic Movement of modern European culture stimulated interest in myth both through theories about myth and through new academic disciplines Although the Enlightenment emphasized the rationality of human beings it directed attention to all human expressions including religion and mythology Enlightenment scholars tried to make sense of the seemingly irrational and fantastic mythic stories Their explanations included historical evolutionary theories that human culture evolved from an early state of ignorance and irrationality to the modern culture of rationality with myths seen as products of the early ages of ignorance and irrationality Myths were also thought to result from euhemerism that is the divinizing 神化 of the heroic virtues of a human being More important than any one theory of mythology however was the development of systematic disciplines devoted to the study of mythology In new fields such as social and cultural anthropology and the history of religions scholars were forced to come to terms with myths from earlier historical periods outside the Western tradition and they began to relate the study of myth to a broader understanding of culture and history The Romantic Movement turned to the older Indo European myths as intellectual and cultural resources Romantic scholars tended to view myth as an irreducible 不可削减的 form of human expression For them myth as a mode of thinking and perception possessed prestige equal to or sometimes greater than the rational grasp of reality Myth had always been part of classical and theological studies in the West but during and after the Enlightenment the concern for myth revived with new intensity could be detected in almost all the newer university disciplines anthropology history psychology history of religions political science and structural linguistics Most current theories of myth emerged from one or more of these disciplines 1 What did the Enlightenment most stress 2 According to historical evolutionary theories myth was

the hearts of men I have wished to know everything about the nature Love and knowledge led upward toward the heaven But pity always brought me back to earth Children in famine 饥荒 helpless old people
