Upon reflection of the ideal social moral code，within one sentence，it would be：be constructive，not destructive.Though "be constructive，not destructive" sounds sensible，there are many nuances.Sometimes it is difficult to determine if an act is exactly constructive or destructive.
We can decide if something is constructive or destructive based on degree，for instance.Say your preschool son is acting up and broke a glass vase，even after you told him to stop grabbing and playing with it several times.You get a thought in your mind to spank him to give a punishment for his naughty action.However，you start to feel confused about whether this would be constructive or destructive.It might show him that not listening to you and breaking things is not welcome，but on the other hand，spanking him is an act of aggression that will hurt him physically and perhaps teach him to use force in situations later in life.There is no exact wrong or right in these moments.However，through your own reasoning，you can decide to what degree it would be beneficial or harmful to him and the situation at hand.Personally，I would not spank my son，as I think it does more destruction than construction.But，that is just me.Another nuance to consider is the definition we give to construction and destruction.
For example，for some people，construction can never involve violence，while for others，it could even be an essential part.Take the example of going back in time and killing Hitler.Killing someone is definitely termed a destructive act.However，in light of the circumstances，I would assume that the majority of people would agree that killing Hitler at the height of his power if they had the chance would be seen as a constructive，thus positive act.Therefore，our definitions often determine our values and how we behave upon those principles.
Additionally，construction and destruction can be filtered through a sociopolitical lens.Construction can be seen as good to some，and bad to others.Take for instance creating new homes in a forested area.Yes，homes for humans are made，but also the habitat for countless animals is being destroyed，or at least altered to an extreme.Construction，if it is true，it should be beneficial to all parties included.That is a tall order，though.Every step we take kills bacteria and other microorganisms - and perhaps plants，insects，and who knows what else.Destruction can be seen as a part of each moment.Plus，what a majority might regard as a constructive might be seen as destructive to a minority.Is there a way to determine which side is correct？It is almost impossible.Being in the majority in terms of a moral outlook does not mean it is correct，or more appropriate.There have been many instances in history when acts were regarded as constructive，but were later seen as destructive with a modern lens.
Though I consider "Be constructive，not destructive" the most solid one-sentence social moral code，it is not without its nuances and problems.For instance，the degree to which we consider something constructive or destructive，definitions of being constructive and destructive，and construction and destruction seen through a sociopolitical lens are all nuances.These differences consist of the confusion that this ideal social moral code causes.However，I cannot imagine a better code than the one stated in this essay in terms of living one's life in a social context.

1．British children's writer Roald Dahl ate chocolates and sweets "pretty much every mealtime"，remembers daughter Ophelia Dahl．
After dinner，whether dining alone or entertaining guests，Dahl would pass around a little red plastic box full of Mars Bars，Milky Ways，Maltesers，Kit Kats and much more．
He knew the history of all the sweets and could tell you exactly when they were invented．1937 was a big year when Kit Kats （his favorite），Rolos and Smarties （his dog，chopper's favorite） were invented．He wrote a history of chocolate，lecturing schoolchildren to commit such dates to memory（熟记），such as 1928 when "Cadbury's Fruit and Nut Bar popped up on the scene"，saying． "Don't bother with the Kings and Queens of England．All of you should learn these dates instead．Perhaps the Headmistress（女校长）will see from now on that it becomes part of the major teaching in this school．"
According to Dahl，the Golden Years of Chocolate were 1930-1937．In 1930，Roald Dahl was 14 years old．He was a student at Repton，a famous boys' boarding school in England．It was a tough environment：those in authority were more interested in controlling than educating the students．
Ironically（讽刺地），it was at this difficult period that chocolate became Dahl's passion．Near Repton was a Cadbury chocolate factory．Every so often，Cadbury would send each schoolboy a sampler（样品）box of new chocolates to taste and grade．They were using the students---"the greatest chocolate bar experts in the world to test out their new inventions．
This was when Dahl's imagination took flight．He pictured factories with inventing rooms with pots of chocolate and fudge（软糖）and "all sorts of other delicious fillings bubbling away on the stoves"．
"It was lovely dreaming those dreams…when I was looking for a plot for my second book for children．I remembered those little cardboard boxes（纸盒）and the newly invented chocolates inside them，and I began to write a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory．"
For the record，Roald Dahl did not like chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream．He said， "I prefer my chocolate straight．"

2．Recently，a film star has been giving away free books on the London Underground．If you're a bookworm，a Harry Potter fan and a London Underground user，then it's been an exciting month for you．
Emma Watson，who starred in films based on the novels about a fictional schoolboy wizard，has been hiding books on the Tube for passengers to read through．
It's part of he Book On The Underground movement，which has a simple aim：to get more people burying themselves in literature．Books are left on trains for passengers to pick up，dip into and then leave for another lucky reader to skim．
The movement started in 2012 and drops off about 150 books a week in stations across London．Talking about Watson's participation in the project，the manager of Books On The Under ground，Cornelia Oxley，said， "The reaction has been great．It must be a mixture of how much everyone admires Emma，and how exciting it is to find something as wonderful as a new book on your journey．"
The 100 or so books Watson left for passengers to read were even more special because she left a hand-written inscription（题词）．The books were Kaya Angelou's Mom & Me & Mom．
One person who discovered a copy of the book on the Tube said she felt like the character Charlie Bucket - a boy who finds a golden ticket to the world's greatest chocolate factory - in the Roald Dahl's classic，Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Watson became a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in the summer of 2014 and has since started reading as many books and essays on equality and feminism（饥荒） as possible．She has also started her own book club．
So．Why not take a leaf out of Emma Watson's book and leave a copy of your favorite book on a train？It could make a stranger's life richer．

3．It can be really hard to learn a new language．I had always enjoyed learning languages in school，but only recently did I start learning German．I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily，but when it came to literature，I really struggled．That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children's books printed in the target language．
At first，I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age，but then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere．As children，we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures，and from there，we can learn and develop．I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK．I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl．
The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot．Therefore you can work out some words with your knowledge of the story．At first，I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other，but this did not work well．The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of that chapter，highlight the new words and then look up the definitions．If you can wait a bit before using a dictionary，you may be surprised what you can understand merely from the context．Additionally，a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring．
If you can find a translation of the books you have read as a child，I would strongly advise reading those if you are a complete beginner．However，if you feel a bit more confident reading in English，I would personally recommend the series of 'Harry Potter' books by J．K．Rowling or any of the Roald Dahl children's books．
（1）What makes it hard for the author to learn German？
A．The author had a poor memory．
B．The author had no interest in it．
C．The author had no one to ask for help．
D．The author couldn't read books fluently．
（2）What did the author think of reading children's books in the target language at first？
A．Interesting．
B．Stupid．
C．Helpful．
D．Boring．
（3）What does the author try to express mainly in Paragraph 3？
A．How to deal with new words while reading．
B．Why it is helpful to read children's book at first．
C．How to choose a proper book to match your level．
D．How to form the habit of reading in the target language．
（4）Why does the author write this text？
A．To give tips on how to learn a new language．
B．To persuade the readers to learn a new language．
C．To stress the importance of reading in language learning．
D．To share the author's stories of learning a new language．发布：2025/1/30 8:0:1组卷：5引用：1难度：0.5
