18、rejudice, and 27_.Once it intensifies in people, intolerance is nearly impossible to overcome.But why would anyone want to be labeled intolerant?Why would people want to be 28 about the world around them?Why would one want to be part of the problem in America, instead of the solution?There are many

20、imited view of life.Or maybe intolerant students have simply never been 33_ to anyone different from themselves.But none of these reasons is an excuse for allowing the intolerance to continue.Intolerance should not be confused with disagreement.It is, of course, possible to disagree with an opinion

37、ation of memorandums and letters.Memorandums and letters differ somewhat in appearance.“To” and “From” replace a letters inside address and signature block, for example.Further, letters are usually sent outside the organization, while memorandums are usually internal messages.As internal messages, m

38、emorandums tend to be more informal and more direct than their letter counterparts.One survey of 800 business people showed they spent from 21 to 38 percent of their writing memorandums.There must be a lot of executives overwhelmed by the number of memorandums they received.As a result, competition

39、for the readers time places importance on the directness and clarity in memorandums.So perhaps even more so than with letters, memorandums should start with the statement of the purpose early in the message.Memorandums also need special visual treatment: keep paragraphs short, much like newspaper ar

40、ticles.Computers increasingly aid mid- and upper-level managers who prepare their own memorandums without secretarial help.If you prepare your own correspondence，realize the importance of dating your messages.Knowing precisely when you recommended, ordered, signed or asked about something often is c

41、rucial.Computers often can date information for you easily.Another characteristic that can set memorandums apart from letters is the inclusion of humor.When the internal message is lighthearted and relatively unimportant, humor in a memorandum can distinguish its author as a person with personality

42、and depth.As long as the humor is on the target, does not embarrass others, is not overdone and is not too frequent, it can reflect positively on its author.17:18:19:20:At school and at work, I have noticed that people have different kinds of work habits.Some people are collaborators, who like to wo

43、rk in groups.They find that doing a project with someone else makes the job more pleasant and the load lighter.Collaborators never work alone unless they are forced to.A Second category I have noticed is the advice-seeker.An advice-seeker does the bulk of her work alone, big frequently looks to othe

44、rs for advice.When this worker has reached a crucial point in her project, she may show it to her classmate or co-worker just to get another pinion.Getting the advice of others makes this worker feel secure about project as it takes shape.Anther type of worker I have noticed is the slacker.A slacker

45、 tries to avoid work whenever possible.If he seems to be busy at the computer, he is probably playing a game online.And if he is writing busily, he is probably making his grocery list.Slackers will do anything except the work they are paid to do.The final type of worker is loner.This type of worker

46、prefers working alone.This type of worker has confidence in his ability, and is likely to feel that collaboration is a waste of time.Loners work with others only when they are forced to.Collaborators, advice seekers, slackers and loners have work styles, but each knows the work habits that help him

47、or her to get the job done.21:22:23:Before the Civil War, if you were black and born a free man, you could still be forced into slavery.Thats what happened to Solomon Northup.Northup was born a free man in Minerva New York in 1808.He was a carpenter and a talented drummer.In 1834, he and his wife mo

48、ved to Saratoga Springs, New York, where they had three children.In 1841，Northup met two men who claimed to be from a circus.Because he needed the money, Northup agreed to join them as a drummer in Washington D. C.Once they reached Washington, however, the men drugged, chained, robbed, and sold him

49、to a slave trader.Northup was shipped south to New Orleans along with other slaves, where he was sold in a slave market.He spent the next twelve years as a slave working for three masters.Northup worked hard and endured much cruelty, but he was always looking for the chance to escape or contact his

50、family and friends in New York.Finally in 1852 Northup befriended Samuel Bass, a Canadian carpenter.With his help, Northup sent a letter to his friends in New York.Through the help of his friends, he regained his freedom in 1853.Northup returned to New York, where he was finally reunited with his family.Northup has many descendants, who gathered together in Saratoga Springs on July 24, 1999，for a tribute to their
