What are the basic elements (要素) of good manners? Certainly a strong sense of justice is one; courtesy
(谦恭) is often 1 more than a highly developed sense of fair play. A friend of mine once told me about a
time he was 2 along a narrow, unpaved (未铺柏油的) mountain road. 3 was another car that produced
clouds of 4 , and it was a long way to the nearest 5 highway. Suddenly, at a 6 place, the car ahead
pulled off the road. 7 that its owner might have engine trouble, my friend stopped and asked if anything
was wrong." 8 ,"said the other driver,"but you"ve endured (忍受) my dust this far; I"ll 9 with yours the
rest of the way."
Another element of courtesy is empathy (善解人意), a 10 that enables a person to see into the mind or
heart of someone else, to understand the pain or 11 there and to do something to minimize it. A man 12
alone in a restaurant was trying to open the cap of a beer bottle, 13 he couldn"t do it because of badly injured
14 . He asked a young busboy to help him. The boy took the bottle, turned his back 15 and loosened the
cap without difficulty. Then he 16 it again. Turning back to the man, he 17 to make great efforts to open
the bottle without success. 18 he took it into the kitchen and returned shortly, saying that he had managed
to loosen it-but only with a pair of pliers (钳子).
Yet another element of politeness is the ability to treat all people 19 , in spite of all status or importance.
20 when you have doubts about some people, act as if they are worthy of your best manners. You may
also be astonished to find out what they really are. Courtesy is the key to a happier world.

In Kenya, educational and career opportunities are almost non-existent for people born with physical challenges. They face many forms of discrimination-including beliefs that their condition was caused by a curse. But one father whose son Brain was born deaf, mute and blind aims to change all that. Joseph Shiroko started a school four years ago that teaches students who can not hear, speak and who have very low or no vision a wide range of skills to support themselves. The baby clothes the students knit (编织) are well known in the local community. And the school has developed a reputation for its dried smoked meat products. Brain Resource Center, a boarding school, teaches deaf and blind young Kenyans from across the country a variety of skills they can use to earn a living. "We have a number of philosophies that inform what we are doing: accepting these people; loving them; giving them opportunities." said founder Joseph Shiroko. Teachers, most of whom are graduates from the school or are themselves physically challenged, work with students. Mary Kerubo, 22, has a passion for knitting sweaters, which she plans to continue in her village. "I feel comfortable here because Sween - my teacher understands me," said Kerubo. "Even if I do not see well, she always repeats her lessons again and again so that I may understand how to make sweaters. I know I will make it." Kerubo"s teacher, Sween Lyaka, was among the first graduates of Brain Resource Center four years ago. She says her students have a lot of unrecognized potential. Sween says in the future, she plans to purchase four sewing machines that she will use to teach students and produce and sell sweaters in her home village. The center also works with students" families to set up projects that will continue after the students graduate. Founder Joseph Shiroko"s son, Brain, was the inspiration behind Brain Resource Center. The senior Shiroko says he began the school initially as a project to teach Brain bakery skills. The family later expanded Brain"s training and brought in other young people with similar physical conditions. | |||
