During that period of time of about ten years or more, those welcome psychologists solved peoples mental problems by writing books instead of giving clinical treatment. And they are trying to advocate the concept that nobody should feel guilty for anything.(2)In the past, it was commonly thought that to love himself, everyone should first give up his guilt. For the most part of the past ten years, people deliberately ignored the sense of guilt without understanding its meaning and significance.(3)Whats more, we would never be one of those who give up their guilt while becoming more and more deteriorated in excessive admiration of themselves.(4)There are people who are tortured by unreasonable guilt. Of course we are not willing to be one of them or guide our children to be one of them.(5)In such a changeable world, our sense of duty is very likely to change our feeling. Now an old concept may conflict with a new one on what we should do. There is a great difference between our belief and the education we got, and that difference results in the sense of guilt.(6)If guilt represents the contradiction of our standards of behavior, it is a good thing full of strength and humanness.(7)In some aspect, the so-called bad feeling reflects the best nature of human being. Because we dont want to feel guilty, we will not do bad things.(8)In that aspect, guilt can make us civilized and force us by conscience to be good people instead of putting ourselves in the first place urgently.4. Cloze: Guilt can be a feeling of (1) remorse about an action or situation in which you had some culpability or (2) responsibility. Sometimes we can feel guilty even there is no (3) reason.Any ideas about what has (4) triggered the guilt? What is of interest in our context is the neurotic sense of guilt which is a form of (5) anxiety mostly connected to repressed, murderous rage. The person feels as if he had (6) committed a moral crime.Does too much (7) criticism really cause too much guilt? Harsh parenting leads to decreased (8) empathy, guilt, and selfcontrol. Children are more likely to (9) develop a sense of morality/ conscience if parents use induction. Guilt means that a person does something that (10) violate their moral code, (11) value system, or their sense of right/ wrong and good/ bad. In other words, once they do something (12) against their duty, people will have the sense of guilt. In the final analysis we judge things by whether they (13) fulfill the purpose for which they were made. It is a (14) generally accepted principle that one cannot condemn something for (15) failing to achieve what it was never (16) intended to achieve. If man is merely a (17) biochemical machine, he cannot be (18) judged on any moral grounds (19) since the behavior of machines is predetermined by their very (20) nature and is in no sense “moral.”5. Translation:A. Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.To be happy, a man must feel, firstly, free and, secondly, important. 人要想快樂(lè)，首先必須感到自由，其次，必須感到自己重要。He cannot be really happy if he is compelled by society to do what he does not enjoy doing, or if what he enjoys doing is ignored by society as of no value or importance. 假如迫于社會(huì)壓力做自己不樂(lè)意做的事，或者樂(lè)于做的事被認(rèn)為一文不值，毫不重要，得不到社會(huì)的承認(rèn)，那么這樣的人是不可能真正快樂(lè)的。A man is a laborer if the job society offers him is of no interest to himself but he is compelled to take it by the necessity of earning a living and supporting his family. 倘若一個(gè)人對(duì)社會(huì)給予他的差事不感興趣，干下去只是出于謀生和養(yǎng)家糊口的需要，那么此人就只是個(gè)雇傭勞動(dòng)者。A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job which society pays him to do. 倘若一個(gè)人打心眼里對(duì)社會(huì)掏錢讓他干的差事感興趣，那么他就是一個(gè)工作者。Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends, not on the job itself, but on the tastes of the individual who undertakes it. 一件差事究竟是勞動(dòng)還是工作并不取決于差事本身，而是取決于干這個(gè)差事的人的喜好。The difference does not coincide with the difference between a manual and a mental job. 這種差異并不等同于體力和腦力勞動(dòng)之間的區(qū)別。Which a man is can be seen from his attitude toward leisure. 從一個(gè)人對(duì)休閑的態(tài)度可以看出他屬于哪類人。To a worker, leisure means simply the hours he needs to relax and rest in order to work efficiently. 對(duì)工作者而言，休閑不過(guò)是放松休息幾個(gè)小時(shí)，為的是工作起來(lái)效率更高。He is therefore more likely to take too little leisure than too much. 所以他很可能花很少的時(shí)間休息，而不是很多。To the laborer, on the other hand, leisure means freedom from compulsion, so that it is natural for him to imagine that the fewer hours he has to spend laboring, and the more hours he is free to play, the better. 對(duì)勞動(dòng)者而言恰恰相反，休閑意味著擺脫了羈絆，他總盼著少干多玩，工作時(shí)間越短越好，這種想法也在情理之中。 B.

(7)Finally, the author chose to retort the rumor not because of any personal offense, but rather in response to injuries inflicted on others. (8)The criminal explains to his lawyer that his will is so naturally fragile that his physical needs often overpower his feeling, which leads to the theft of his acquaintance. (9) When her grandma, the only person who loved her in the world, passed away, her heart was filled with nothing else but deep sorrow and regret.Unit 2 In the Beginning: God and Science2.
