题目内容

今年上市的苹果品种格外地多，我独爱皮儿青青、似乎尚未熟透的那种。周末和女友逛水果店，她挑最红最大的买，生怕春色不够似的；我则逗留在顶边上的柜台，那儿不起眼地堆着我一个冬天未见的青苹果。相争不下，索性各按自己的偏好买了一网兜，都很不服气的样子，暗笑对方不会享受真正的生活。小时候吃苹果，我也爱挑红润的．因其意味着成熟．而熟透的水果必然甜美爽口。年岁渐增，熟悉了生活中诸般滋味之后，反倒偏爱上青苹果的那种清甜——带着点酸涩的甜、饱含水分的甜，咬一口有清脆的声响。也许，成熟、甜蜜乃至完美．并非生命的终极意义．更重要的倒是向这一目标趋近过程中万般况味的体验：唇齿之间的那一分青涩在不断转变着，反倒显得生动、真实。正如稚齿孩童可能认定糖果是世界上最好的东西，成人之后反而学会并且喜好品味茶或咖啡——其底蕴更切近于生活的本质。

Among the minds powers is one that comes of itself to many children and artists. It need not be lost, to the end of his day, by anyone who has ever had it. This is the power of taking delight in a thing, rather than in anything, everything, not as a means to some other end, but just because it is what it is, as the lover dotes on whatever may be traits of the beloved object. A child in the full health of his mind will put his hand flat on the summer turf, feel it and give a little shiver of private glee at the elastic firmness of the globe. He is not thinking how it will do for some game or to feed sheep upon. That would be the way of the wooer whose mind runs on his mistresss money. The childs is sheer affection, the true ecstatic sense of the things inherent characteristics. No matter what the things may be, no matter what they are good or bad for, there they are, each with a thrilling unique look and feel of its own, like a face; the iron astringently cool under its paint, the painted wood familiarly warmer, the cold crumbling enchantingly down in the hands, with its little dry smell of the sun and of hot nettles; each common thing a personality marked by delicious differences.

Since its founding at the midpoint of the nineteenth century, the Massachusetts Institute

This is a period in which the old world is slowly but irreversibly changing and the contours of a new one are just beginning to take shape. Traditional institutions are being challenged. Budgets are being squeezed. Families are being stressed. All of this flux and churning creates enormous anxiety. At times of change, we must stay true to the ideals and principles that are at the heart of the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Among those core values is tolerance. Our practice of tolerance must mean more than peaceful coexistence, crucial as that is. It must be an active understanding fostered through dialogue and positive engagement with others. This is especially critical in combating the discrimination that causes so much divisiveness, destruction and death. We all have a responsibility to protect those vulnerable to discrimination, whether based on race, religion, nationality, language, gender, sexual orientation or other factors. Practicing tolerance can serve as the antidote to prejudice and hatred.
