16、 limited future.And then I began asking,Why are some people more successful than others?This question changed my life.Over the years,I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement(成就).It seems that the reasons have been discussed and written about for more tha

17、n two thousand years,in everypossible way.One quality that most philosophers,teachers and experts agree on is the importance ofself-discipline(自律).As Al Tomsik summarized it years ago,Success is tons of discipline.Some years ago,I attended a conference in Washington.It was the lunch break and I was

18、eating at a nearbyfood fair.The area was crowded and I sat down at the last open table by myself,even though it was a table for four.A few minutes later,an older gentleman and a younger woman who was his assistant came along carrying trays offood,obviously looking for a place to sit.With plenty of r

19、oom at my table,I immediately invited the oldergentleman to join me.He was hesitant(犹豫),but I insisted.Finally,thanking me as he sat down,we began to chatover lunch.It turned out that his name was Kop Kopmeyer.As it happened,I immediately knew who he was.He was alegend in the field of success and ac

20、hievement.Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books,each of whichcontained 250 success principles that he had obtained from more than fifty years of research and study.I had readall four books from cover to cover,more than once.After we had chatted for a while,I asked him the question that many peop

21、le in this situation would ask,Ofall the one thousand success principles that you have discovered,which do you think is the most important?”He smiled at me,as if he had been asked this question many times,and replied,without hesitating,Themost important success principle of all was stated by Thomas

22、Huxley many years ago.He said,Do what youshould do,when you should do it,whether you feel like it or not.He went on to say,There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience,but without self-discipline,none of them work.8.Why did the writer ask the question in Para

25、of Self-disciplineDAccording to Oxford Dictionaries,morality means:“Principles concerning the distinction between right andwrong or good and bad behavior.”Though morality is a rather subjective subject,there are some principles thatare universal across all cultures found by an Oxford University stud

26、y:“help your family,help your group,returnfavors,be brave,obey superiors,divide resources fairly,and respect others property”.The fact that these moralsare found across 60 cultures from around the world demonstrates that morality,though subjective,is thecornerstone of keeping our societies together.

27、Here are some reasons to be moral:without morality,a social life isalmost impossible to maintain;having a good reputation and having a clear conscience is psychologically healthy;and most philosophies regard unselfish and principled behavior as important.There is no doubt that without morals,a socie

28、ty cannot function effectively.A confused situation wouldappear,According to the Society of Morality,“We are social animals,and the actions we take-the things we do andthe things we dont do-have consequences on our environments and on the others around us.As a result,weneed to be able to govern our

29、behavior in the near term so as not to injure ourselves or our community in the longterm.This system of controlling our actions and our thoughts in order to operate in a community is what we oftenrefer to as morality”.Therefore,we need a set of morals in order to operate within a social circle and a

30、 socialenvironment.Acting immoral usually results in being excluded from social activities or being avoided by a societybased on laws and cultural standards.Besides acting moral having a sociological need,it also has a psychologicalbasis.Most people are concerned to some extent about their reputatio

31、n.According to PsyPost,“A lot of economicmodels of human behavior assume that people are only rational(理性的)when they narrowly pursue their ownself-interest,but history shows us that people are also tremendously concerned with being and appearing moral”.So,the fear of ones reputation being damaged is

32、 often a strong motivator to be moral.And if someonehas beenimmoral,most people go out of their way to make sure no one finds out,or to correct the behavior in order to notbe caught.This goes in line with conscience as well.People generally feel in a better psychological state if they feelthat their

33、 conscience is clean.A dirty conscience can result in a lack of sleep,anxiety,internal stress,and evenillness.On the side of philosophy,the study of ethics(伦理)comes into play.Most philosophers agree that oneshould rationally choose a set of standards of behavior in order to function.Though there is

34、moral relativism,there are universal anthropological(人类学的)morals,as mentioned in the introduction.By the nature of oursocieties and cultures,we choose what we believe is right and wrong.But surprising,this rational behavior comesto a general agreement on morals.So,there is a fine line between moral

35、relativism and moral absolutism.But themain thing to take away from this discussion is that philosophers generally believe that each individual has theright to rationally come up with a set of ethics to live by,and that it is healthy to do so.12.The author discusses morality(paragraph 1)in order to

36、_.A.explain the relationship between morality and cultureB.describe the moral rules found all around the worldC.contrast the distinction between right and wrongD.introduce the definition,principles and reasons of morality13.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.acting moral allows us to fit i
