8、supplementCultural information2. Moral Intelligence: Parents Do Make a Difference Young adolescence can be a troubling time. There are scores of disturbing indicators to prove it including the steady rise of impulsivity, depression, suicide, violence, peer cruelty, and substance abuse. In addition w
9、e are seeing a growing rise in disrespect for authority, incivility, vulgarity, cheating and dishonesty. Weve been relentless in our efforts to make a change. But in all our interventions the one area often overlooked is the moral intelligence of the young adolescent. Moral intelligence consists of
10、the personal, social, mental, emotional, and moral skills that make up solid character and guide moral behaviours. It is the capacity to understand right from wrong. It means to have strong ethical convictions and to act on them so that one behaves in the right and honourable way. Moral intelligence
11、 is what a young adolescent needs most to counter negative pressures and do whats right with or without adult guidance. Cultivating moral intelligence may well be our best hope. The latest research confirms strong moral character can be learned and how teaching it can enhance our studentsCultural in

21、es our most cherished possession: our children. Everyone agrees there is a problem: lawmakers, doctors, clergy, businesspeople, educators, parents, and the general public alike have voiced their concerns. And concerned as all should be. Each days news adds a growing litany of shocking tragedies and
22、statistics about American kids, and theyve left us shaken, deeply worried, and in search of answers.1Detailed reading2Detailed reading By far our biggest worry is youth violence, and that alone should warrant a national declaration of emergency. Although the hard data on youth crime and violence sho
23、w a recent decline, there is little cause for comfort: the American Academy of Pediatrics reports that the United States has the highest youth homicide and suicide rates among the twenty-six wealthiest nations in the world. In fact, our kids are ten times more likely to commit murder than comparably
24、 aged youths in Canada. Perhaps most disturbing is that our killers are getting younger and younger. As I write, this week a six-year-old intentionally2Detailed reading3Detailed readingsuffocated her three-year-old brother with the help of her five-year-old friend. Just months earlier, a six-year-ol
25、d boy settled a schoolyard score by killing his first-grade classmate with a .32 semiautomatic. Each incident is unthinkable, yet others equally horrifying follow. There are other signs that stir our national conscience as well. Peer cruelty is steadily increasing: an estimated 160,000 children each
26、 day miss school for fear of being picked on by their peers, and, considering the accessibility of weapons, the potential for physical injury is high. Other disturbing indicators include substance3Detailed reading4Detailed readingabuse among younger kids; the growing disrespect for parents, teachers
27、, and other legitimate authority figures; the rise of incivility; the increase of vulgarity; and widespread cheating and commonplace dishonesty. A recent national survey of 10,000 high school students revealed that nearly half admit they stole something from a store in the previous year; one in four
28、 said they would lie to get a job; and seven in ten admitted to cheating in an exam within the previous twelve months. Heavy alcohol and drug use is increasing among our younger kids; recent studies found 22 percent of fifth graders have been drunk at least once, and the average age at which a child
29、 first uses marijuana is twelve. In two decades, the number of diagnoses of hyperactivity and attention deficits has risen 700 percent. In the last four decades, adolescent suicide in our country has increased 300 percent, and depression has risen 1,000 percent. These statistics are especially frigh
30、tening when you consider that in one survey, over one-half of American teenagers reported they can get a gun in an hour and one in four high school students say they took a weapon to school at least once in the past year. Our kids are troubled and our crisis continues.Detailed reading5Detailed readi
31、ng These episodes and statistics distress us, of course, and as a nation we are reacting in alarm: school officials have installed metal detectors and sophisticated cameras to heighten security; moms marched on Washington for stricter gun control; the president of the United States called for emerge
32、ncy summit meetings of congressional leaders; some parents have started charter schools, while others have opted for home schoolings; lawmakers passed laws to prosecute juveniles as adults, and the courts sentenced them as such. Weve tried an endless variety of educational strategies as well: teache

Individual states have implemented retention policies, lowered class sizes, and boosted academic standards. P
34、sychologists have even developed complete new theories: Howard Gardner revolutionized our understanding of childrens cognitive capacities with his view of multiple intelligences, as Daniel Goleman did in transforming our awareness of emotional intelligence.Detailed reading8Detailed reading Despite o
35、ur frantic efforts, however, the crisis remains, and we know so because our children are still hurting. Thats because we have missed one critical piece: the moral side of our childrens lives. It is moral strength that kids need most to keep their ethical bearings in this often morally toxic world. M
36、oral issues havent been completely overlooked: the work of Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg has helped us understand the stages of childrens moral reasoning; William Bennett provided literature anthologies to cultivate kids moral imaginations; William Kilpatricks book, Why Johnny Cant Tell Right fr
37、om Wrong, 5Detailed reading9Detailed readingoffered ways to engage our youth in moral reflection. But in these troubling times, parents need far more if they are to succeed in helping their kids not only think morally but also act morally, and unless children know how to act right, their moral devel
38、opment is defective. After all, weve always known that the true measure of character rests in our actions not in mere thoughts.Detailed reading10Detailed reading Enhancing our childrens moral intelligence is our best hope for getting our kids on the right course so that they do act as well as think
39、right. Its also our best hope for their developing the traits of solid character. In his book The Moral Intelligence of Children, Robert Coles wrote of the urgent need to address this crucial aptitude in our children. Developing this miraculous moral capacity in your child is the best way to protect
40、 his moral life now and forever.6Why does the author consider the issue as “a clear and pressing crisis”?Detailed reading1-Quesion 1Because the problem involves our most cherished possession: our children. And it arouses the concern of everybody lawmakers, doctors, clergy, businesspeople, educators,
41、 parents, and the general public alike.Detailed reading1. Why does the author say “youth violence alone should warrant a national declaration of emergency”? Detailed reading1-Quesion 2The author says so because of two startling pieces of evidence: the first is the highest youth homicide and suicide
42、rates among the twenty-six wealthiest nations in the world; the second is that killers are getting younger and younger.Detailed reading2.

48、un control; some parents have started charter schools, while others have opted for home schoolings.Detailed reading1. How does the author evaluate the efforts people have made to cope with the crisis?Detailed reading1-Quesion 8Obviously, the author is not quite satisfied with the result of these “fr
49、antic efforts”, because “the crisis remains, and our children are still hurting.” In her view one critical piece has been missed the moral side of childrens lives.Detailed reading2. Why does the author cite a number of peoples works in this paragraph?Detailed reading1-Quesion 9The author cites these
50、 works to prove that the moral side of childrens life has not been completely overlooked. More importantly, the author hopes to emphasize that more efforts are needed and the true measure of character rests in our actions not in mere thoughts.Detailed readingWhat do the expressions “the traits of so
51、lid character,” “this crucial aptitude” and “this miraculous moral capacity” refer to?Detailed reading1-Quesion 10These three expressions all refer to moral intelligence as mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph.
