21、 One recent night, while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal, my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked, “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.”In other words, ideals—general descriptions of people's expectations of themselves and others—can often lead us to unreasonable ideas.It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people.We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.
I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America.The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes:Jewish people were“greedy”, Mexicans were“poorly educated”, and Asians were“good at math”.These labels were taught to us from a young age.They wormed their way into our belief systems, harming how we came to see others.It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true.The rush-to judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination.
You can also see these over-generalized descriptions being made against today's Chinese people.Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among mile millennial being described as “monkish”, or“dad-fashion”which has given the“greasy middle-aged men”tag.stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society.But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.
It's about time that we, as a society, walked away from generalizations and stereotypes.I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr.from his famous“I Have a Dream”speech:“T look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.
【1】According to the passage, how do people tend to judge others?
A.By describing people's personalities.
B.By truly getting to know those around.
C.By observing their noticeable features.
D.By following Martin Luther King's speech.
【2】Examples of“millennial”and dad-fashion”are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal .
A.generalizations have unfavorable position in society
B.generalizations have a negative influence on our society
C.generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-age Chinese
D.generalizations make today's Chinese people lack interest or worry
【3】The passage is mainly concerned with .
A.the common prejudice
B.people's expectation of themselves
C.the groundless worries
D.the famous speech of Martin Luther King Jr.

24、 When my grandmother died at the age of 96, there were two things she left behind in abundance---nearly 100 photo albums documenting decades of travel and home life, and a dozen quilts, one of which my mother gave me.
Quilting is the process of sewing together fabric(作料)to make one large piece of fabric. In my family,quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. My mother says her great-grandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.
In the United States,quilting was a craft(手艺)that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, the U.S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle on land that that could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.
Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other.They would gather for so-called “quilting bees”,where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together. This provided a much-needed relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.
Throughout history, the different patterns on American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From then,we can tell where a person lived,what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt.
Even today,women still gather to quit together in a show of friendship and a love for the craft,just like the old days.My sister has tried quilting a few times,and hopefully,her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.
