Exemplification ( 例证法）The author of this passage argues for the “Integrity Triangle” with three principles. Two of the principles are respectively supported by an example.The principle:

Always give others credit that is rightfully theirs. Don’t be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are. （ Para. 9 ）

BackBack

An example to support the principle: David Ogilvy, founder of the advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather, clarified this point to his newly appointed office heads by sending each of them a Russian nesting doll with five progressively smaller figures inside. His message was contained in the smallest doll: “If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, Ogilvy & Mather will become a company of giants.” And that is precisely what O&M became -- one of the largest and most respected advertising organizations in the world.

Now have a look at Para.4 - 7 and fill out the charts below to see how this segment is organized.

The principle:

Stand firmly for your convictions when confronted with personal pressure.


BackBack

An example to support the principle:

• There’s a story told about a surgical nurse’s assistance during her first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital. She was responsible for ensuring that all surgical instruments and materials were accounted for during an operation. The nurse said to the surgeon, “You’ve only removed 11 sponges, and we used 12. We need to find the last one.”


BackBack

“I removed them all,” the surgeon assured her. “We’ll close now.” “You can’t do that, sir,” protested the nurse. “Think of the patient.” Smiling, the surgeon lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge. “You’ll do just fine in this or any other hospital,” he assured her.

An example to support the principle:Exemplification ( 例证法）

BackBack

Deduction ( 演绎法）• Specific argumentations:• People who lack genuine core values rely on external

factors — their looks or status — in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this false mask, but they will do very little to enhance their inner value and personal growth.

• So be yourself. Don’t engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are unpleasing in your life. “Tough times never last but tough people do,” as Robert Schuller says. In other words, face reality and be mature in your responses to life’s challenges.

Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others. Integrity means you do what you do because it is right and not just fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not yielding to the tempting attractions of an easy morality, will always win the day. It will take you forward into the twenty-first century without having to check your tracks in a rear-view mirror. My grandparents taught me that.

参考译文：自尊和问心无愧是正直的两大重要组成部分，也是加深你与他人关系的基础。为人正直意味着去做你应该做的事，因为你认为那是对的，而不是为了合乎潮流或迎合政治上的需要。一种能坚持原则、抵制住放松道德标准的种种诱惑的生活，就会使你获得成功。在跨入 21 世纪时，就不必为自己过去的所作所为而遗憾。这就是我的祖父母教给我的做人的道理。

This means you are consistent and do not progressively change your principles it is a convenience or to a fashionable attraction. Honesty is in supply. You demand this discipline of yourself. According to the writer, you can test your integrity by three key principles: one, do you stand for your convictions when confronted pressure from your friends? you know you are right, you cannot concede if you have integrity. Two, do you always give other people the credit due them? Three, are you honest and open without being about who you are? Some people rely on external factors in order to feel about themselves because they lack genuine values. The powerful components of integrity — self-respect and a conscience — are the basis for your relationships with others.

For Reference

• Hard work is the key to learning a foreign language. I started to learn English online at the beginning of this term. I practiced all the time. I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went ,as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard . I sat at computers for hours at a time during evening and on weekends in order to complete my assignments. The time when other people were having fun was usually the time when I did my course book . I committed 4 to 15 hours a week to the English course.
