Th
3、ose sounds, whether spoken, (37) written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their (38)the things they bring up before our minds.

8、r. Every year a few colleges and universities in the US attract attention because theyve managed to book high-profile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers1 wise remarks.Last month, the following words of wisdom were spread:HYou really havent completed the circle of succ
9、ess unless you can help somebody else move forward/1 (Oprah Winfrey, Duke University).There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together. (Hillary Clinton, New York University).This really is your moment. History is yours
10、to bend.n (Joe Biden, Wake Forest University).Of course, the real ngetn of the graduation season was first lady Michelle Obama*s appearance at the University of California, Merced. Remember that you are blessed, she told the class of 2009, Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you must give
11、 something back. As advocate and activist Marian Wright Edelman says, Service is the rent we pay for living . it is the true measure, the only measure of success*.HCalls to service have a long, rich tradition in these speeches. However, it is possible for a graduation speech to go beyond cliche and
12、say something truly compelling. The late writer David Foster Wallaces 2005 graduation speech at Kenyon College in Ohio talked about how to truly care about other people. It gained something of a cult after it was widely circulated on the Internet. Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs1 address at Stanford U
13、niversity that year, in which he talked about death, is also considered one of the best in recent memory.But when youre sitting in the hot sun, fidgety and freaked out, do you really want to be lectured about the big stuff?. Isnt that like trying to maintain a smile at your wedding reception while s
14、ome relative gives a toast that amounts to nmarriage is hard work? You know hes right; you just dont want to think about it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you cant really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing.That may seem anti
15、climactic. But it also gets to the heart of one of life*s greatest, saddest truths: that our most memorable1 occasions may elicit the fewest memories.

19、fines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eati
20、ng together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak
21、 or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest an
22、d with whom it is eaten.In some New Guinea societies, the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together. The men take their meals in a men*s house, separately from their wives and children. Women prepare and eat their food in their own houses and take the husband*s portion to the mens house. The
23、 women eat with their children in their own houses. This pattern is also widespread among Near Eastern societies.Eating is a metaphor that is sometimes used to signify marriage. In many New Guinea societies, like that of the Lesu on the island of New Ireland in the Pacific and that of the Trobriand
24、Islanders, marriage is symbolized by the couples eating together for the first time. Eating symbolizes their new status as a married couple. In U.S. society, it is just the reverse. A couple may go out to dinner on a first date.Other cultural rules have to do with taboos against eating certain thing
25、s. In some societies, members of a clan, a type of kin (family) group, are not allowed to eat the animal or bird that is their totemic ancestor. Since they believe themselves to be descended from that ancestor, it would be like eating that ancestor or eating themselves.There is also an association b
26、etween food prohibitions and rank, which is found in its most extreme form in the caste system of India. A caste system consists of ranked groups, each with a different economic specialization. In India, there is an association between caste and the idea of pollution. Members of highly ranked groups
27、 can be polluted by coming into contact with the bodily secretions, particularly saliva, of individuals of lower-ranked castes. Because of the fear of pollution, Brahmans and other high-ranked individuals will not share food with, not eat from the same plate as, not even accept food from an individu
