29、oaskforcreditatthestorewasadamperonhisspirits? As a young man of sixteen, he needed respect, not charity. Asking for credit at a store is a humiliating experience like asking for favor and pity from the owner of the store. In addition, racism made the situation worse. Black youths were watched like
30、thieves in the store. 2.Whydidthestoreownertrustthewriter? The store owner agreed to put him on credit without hesitation. He trusted the boys father who always kept his word and never failed to pay back the money he owed. 3.Whatischildrensresponsibilityinrelationtothegoodnameoftheirfamily? Accordin
31、g to the writer, children, while enjoying their familys good name, have the responsibility to maintain it. Compromising it would hurt not only the transgressor, but also those they love and those who love them. 4.Howdidthefamilygoodnamehelpthewriterinlife? First, the good name makes him decide to be
32、come a better person than he otherwise might be and eventually become a decent citizen. Second, the desire to keep the good name propelled him to be the first in his family to go to university. Finally, the good name gave him the initiative to establish himself in the public relations business. 5.Wh
33、atpointdoesthewriterwanttomakeinthediscussionofthesocialproblemsintheU.S.A.? The point the writer wants to make is that many of the social problems today result from the lack of a sense of pride in having good reputation and no sense of shame for bad reputations. Parents who dont care about keeping
34、a good reputation have no sense of shame when they fail to set good examples for their children; nor can they provide children with the kind of security and guidance they need. Consequently, many of these children grow up without a sense of shame either. They worship violence, which is respectfully
35、portrayed on TV and in movies. As families disintegrate, communities fall apart and crimes rise. 6.Whatdoesthewriterhopetoprovewiththedescriptionofhisfatherslastmonths? The writer wants to prove that keeping a good reputation is rewarded not only by outsiders esteem, but also by the trust and confid

38、members Beginning with one of his own experiences, the author discusses the power of his familys good name. Earning and maintaining a good name need to restore a sense of responsibility and shame, which, according to the author, pave the way to ones success in life and career.MainideaArmstrongWillia
