-----Benjamin L. Hooks
My brothers and sisters…I want
you to know that the struggle that we
will face through the
remaining period of the eighties and on
through the twenty-first century will not be an

It is fraught
with pitfalls and plagued with setbacks, but we as
a people have developed a
resiliency which has made it possible
for us to survive slavery and vicious
discrimination. We must
never tire or become frustrated by
difficulties. We must transform stumbling blocks
into stepping
stones and
march on with the determination that we will make
America a better nation…
Struggle on: we want more schoolhouses
and less jail houses,
Struggle on: We
want more books and less weapons,
Struggle on: We
want more learning and less vice,
Struggle on: We want more employment
and less crime in our communities
Struggle on: We want more justice and
less vengeance,
Struggle
on: We want more of our children to graduate from
high school able to read and write, not
more on unemployment lines,
Struggle on: We want more
statesmen and less politicians.
Struggle on: We want more workers in
our ranks and less cynics,
Struggle on:
We want more hope and less dope,
Struggle on: We want more faith and
less despair…

are You Laughing?
Thus laughter gradually
became established as a capacity among virtually
all human beings. In
addition, laughter’s infectious quality
helped distribute it as a characteristic common to
all
mankind. Laughter was
advantageous; therefore it survived.
Everyone likes a good laughter; he
brings good cheer with him wherever he goes, the
very thought of
him makes
life more bearable. Even today our most highly
paid entertainers are not tragedians but
comedians. Laughter is
infectious, and most of us go out of our way to
acquire the infection. We
cannot think that it was otherwise in
the earlier days of man’s evolution, and if that
was indeed
so, then it
would follow that the capacity to laugh would tend
to become increasingly distributed
as a trait common to all men.
In society, laughter became a
characteristic that served to “humanized” men
because it is
essentially a
social phenomenon, largely controlled by the
civilization in which it takes place.
The times change, and the situations
about which laughter is acceptable change
correspondingly. A
few
hundred years ago it was socially acceptable to
laugh at the infirmities of others; today it is
unacceptable. In the
western world it is not customary to smile at the
reprimands of others, as it
is in Japan. Personalities should smile
or laugh in their photographs, but college
professors
should look
serious. Each of these examples underscores
laughter’s social function.
这样，笑就逐渐成为全人类的一种能力。此外，笑的感染力有助于把笑作为全人类共有的一种特性进行传播。笑是
有益的，所以笑就流传了下来。
<
/p>
大家都喜欢善于笑的人，无论他到何处，都带着令人愉快的欢笑，一想起他就会使生活变得
比较可以忍受的了。就
是在今天，享有高薪的娱乐者仍是喜剧
演员。笑具有感染力，我们中的大多数人都乐于接受这种感染。我们认为，
在人类进化的早期，情况不会与此相反。果真如此的话，那么就会得出这样的结论：笑这种能力会倾 向于不断的传
播，从而成为全人类共有的一种特性。
在社会中，笑成为一种特性，它可使人“具有人性”
，因为笑实质上是一种社会现象，
在很大程度上是受到它所产
生的那个文明的制约。时代在前进
，作为能使笑成为可接受的周围的情景也在相应的改变。曾在几百年前，嘲笑别
人的缺陷，还是受到社会接受的。而今天则不能接受了。在西方社会，人们不习惯于当别人责骂
时，还去微笑，但
在日本却可以。电影明星应在照片中微笑或
大笑，而大学教授则应表现的严肃些。这些例子都强调了笑的社会作
用。
Your Mind Wonder
Until recently
daydreaming was generally considered either a
waste of time or a symptom of neurotic
tendencies, and habitual daydreaming
was regarded as evidence of maladjustment or an
escape from
life’s
realities and responsibilities. It was believed
that habitual daydreaming would eventually
distance people from
society and reduce their effectiveness in coping
with real problems. At its
best, daydreaming was considered a
compensatory substitute for the real things in
life.
As with anything carried to
excess, daydreaming can be harmful. There are
always those who would
substitute fantasy lives for the
rewards of real activity. But such extremes are
relatively rare,
and there
is a growing body of evidence to support the fact
that most people suffer from a lack of
daydreaming rather than an excess of
it. We are now beginning to learn how valuable it
really is
and that when
individuals are completely prevented from
daydreaming, their emotional balance can be
disturbed. Not only are
they less able to deal with the pressures of day-
to-day existence, but also
their self-control and self-direction
become endangered.
Recent research
indicates that daydreaming is part of daily life
and that a certain amount each day
is essential for maintaining
equilibrium. Daydreaming, science has discovered,
is an effective
relaxation
technique. But its beneficial effects go beyond
this. Experiments show that daydreaming
significantly contributes
to intellectual growth, powers of concentration,
and the ability to
interact
and communicate with others.
