Every immigrant leads a double life. Every immigrant has a double identity and a double vision, being suspended between an old and a new home, an old and a new self. 1 The very notion of a new home, of course, is in a sense as impossible as the notion of new parents: parents are who they are; home is what it is. Yet home, like parentage, must be legitimized through love; otherwise, it is only a fact of geography or biology. 2 Most immigrants to America found their love of their old homes betrayed: They did not really abandon their countries; their countries abandoned them, and in America, they found the possibility of a new love, the chance to nurture new selves. Not uniformly, not without exceptions. Every generation has its Know-Nothing movement. 3 Its understandable fear and hatred of alien invasion is as true today as it always was, but in spite of all this, the American attitude remains unique. Throughout history, exile has been a calamity; America turned it into a triumph and placed its immigrants in the center of a national epic. The epic is possible because America is an idea as much as it is a country. 4 America has nothing to do with loyalty to a dynasty and very little to do with loyalty to a particular place, but everything to do with loyalty to a set of principles. To immigrants, those principles are especially real because so often they were absent or violated in their native lands. It was no accident in the ’60s and ’70s, when alienation was in flower, that it often seemed to be "native" Americans who felt alienated, while aliens or the children of aliens upheld the native values. "Home is where you are happy." Sentimental, perhaps, and certainly not conventionally patriotic, but is appropriate for a country that wrote the pursuit of happiness into its founding document. That pursuit continues for the immigrant in America, and it never stops, but it comes to rest at a certain moment. 5 The moment occurs perhaps when the immigrant’s double life and double vision converge toward a single state of mind, when the old life, the old home fade into a certain unreality: places one merely visits, practicing the tourism of memory. It occurs when the immigrant learns his ultimate lesson: above all countries, America, if loved, returns love.

At this time of year especially, weather is on everyone’s mind-and on everyone’s tongue. 6 It is the material for the conversation of board chairman and bored cleaning woman, of young and old, of the bright, the dull, the rich and the poor. As ff this basic coin of conversation needed to be gilded, the average American constantly reads about the weather in his newspapers and magazines, listens to regular forecasts of it on the radio and watches while some TV prophet milks it for cuteness on the evening news. 7 Since the weather is to man what the waters are to fish, his preoccupation with it serves a unique purpose, constituting a social phenomenon all its own. Far from arising merely to pass the time or bridge a silence, "weathertalk," as it might be called, is a sort of code by which people confirm and salute the sense of community they discover in the face of the weather’s implacable influence. Inspired by exceptional weather, otherwise immutable strangers suddenly find themselves in communion. 8 As victims, people hate to cancel a picnic on account of rain, and yet they often cheer when the weather brings human activity to an abrupt stop. Most feel that the weather indeed affects their moods. If man sees the weather differently according to his circumstance, healthy fear works at the hub of his obsession with it. Through human history, weather has altered the march of events and caused some mighty cataclysms. Every year brings fresh reminders of the weather’s power over human life and events in the form of horrifying tornadoes, hurricanes and floods. No wonder, then, that man’s great dream has been some day to control the weather. 9 With computers on tap and electronic eyes in the sky, modern man has thus come far in dealing with the weather, alternately his enemy and benefactor, yet man’s difficulty today is not too far removed from that of his remote ancestors. For all the advances of scientific forecasting, in spite of the thousands of daily bulletins and advisories that get flashed about, the weather is still ultimately unstable and unpredictable. Man’s dream of controlling it is still just that-a dream. The very idea of control, in fact, raises enormous and troublesome questions. 10 The vision of scheduled weather also raises ambiguous feelings among the world’s billions of weather fans and poses at least one irresistible question: If weather were as predictable as holidays and eclipses, what in the world would everyone talk about

[案例]最近几天,任课老师们总是向我这个班主任反映王晓晓的问题:上课不守纪律,总是打扰别人,对老师的批评不以为然,对学习缺乏兴趣,成绩较差。 如何引导规劝他呢我发现,他玩“悠悠球”很有两下子,技术不错,玩时非常专注投入,样子可爱极了。思忖良久,我有了主意:请他当老师们的教练!并安排周二和周四的课外活动上课,每次15分钟。 刚开始,面对自己的老师,他很不习惯,也放不开。渐渐地随着大家“教练、教练”的叫着,他开始有点自信了,像模像样地教起来……我们则尽量减少教师的角色身份,像学生一样有模有样地学。每当他做演示或是讲解的时候,我们谁也不说话,安静、认真地听着;当我们有问题的时候,总是先举手示意,然后称呼“教练”,再说出不明白的地方;中途某老师有事,总是礼貌地向这位“教练”请假……那么,这时候的他呢总是很有礼貌地回答说:“好,没关系,老师您去吧!” 实事求是地讲,每次我都很感动,感动于王晓晓在这种变相的激励和重重熏染中取得的进步,更感动于我的同事对教育的理解和付出。 自从这个计划实施以后,他再也不是以前那个不守纪律,总打扰别人的王晓晓了。在课堂上,他表现得很认真很有礼貌,学习积极主动,各科老师普遍反映王晓晓变了…… [问题]案例中的班主任主要贯彻了什么德育原则采用了什么德育方法请加以具体分析。
