Many universities have set up their own digital learning platforms, and digital teaching is playing an increasingly important role in education. Compared with the traditional way of teaching, the digital way has a lot of advantages. On one hand, digital teaching makes global sharing of teaching resources possible。 on the other hand, it expands the learner39。s study time and space to learn, allowing people to get access to the digital virtual schools through the Internet anytime and anywhere. These advantages make it possible for people to shift from onetime learning to lifelong learning. Unit 3 原文：As an important part of the American culture value system, individualism is admired by most American people. Americans view the family as a group whose primary purpose is to advance the happiness of individual members. In contrast to many other cultures, the primary responsibility of the American family member is not to advance the family as a group, either socially or economically. What would be best for the family is not usually considered to be as important as what would be best for the individual. With freedom es the responsibility to care for oneself, for it is the freedom of choice that carries with it the responsibility: to accept the consequences of the choices. Many Americans give their children a lot of freedom because they want them to be independent and selfreliant. Along with the American emphasis on individual freedom, the belief in equality between parents and children also has had a strong effect on the family.翻譯：作為美國(guó)文化價(jià)值體系的一個(gè)重要組成部分，個(gè)人主義受到大多數(shù)美國(guó)人的推崇。美國(guó)人認(rèn)為家庭作為一個(gè)群體，其主要目的是促進(jìn)家庭各成員的幸福。與許多其他文化相比，美國(guó)家庭成員的主要職責(zé)，不是在社會(huì)上或經(jīng)濟(jì)上提高整個(gè)家庭的地位。人們通常認(rèn)為，什么是對(duì)個(gè)人最好的要比什么是對(duì)家庭最好的更為重要。與自由相伴而來(lái)的是照顧自己的責(zé)任，因?yàn)樗x擇的自由承載了責(zé)任，即必須接受自己的選擇所帶來(lái)的后果。許多美國(guó)人給他們的孩子很多的自由，因?yàn)樗麄兿Ｍ⒆觽兡軌颡?dú)立和自主。在美國(guó)人強(qiáng)調(diào)個(gè)人自由的同時(shí)，父母與孩子間平等的信念也對(duì)美國(guó)家庭產(chǎn)生了巨大的影響。原文：孝道（filial piety）是中國(guó)古代社會(huì)的基本道德規(guī)范（code of ethics）。中國(guó)人把孝視為人格之本、家庭和睦之本、國(guó)家安康之本。由于孝道是儒家倫理思想的核心，它成了中國(guó)社會(huì)千百年來(lái)維系家庭關(guān)系的道德準(zhǔn)則。它毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)是中華民族的一種傳統(tǒng)美德。孝道文化是一個(gè)復(fù)合概念，內(nèi)容豐富，涉及面廣。它既有文化理念，又有制度禮儀（institutional etiquette）。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，它指社會(huì)要求子女對(duì)父母應(yīng)盡的義務(wù)，包括尊敬、關(guān)愛(ài)、贍養(yǎng)老人等等。孝道是古老的東方文明之根本。翻譯：Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in ancient Chinese society. Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a person39。s integrity, family harmony, and the nation39。s wellbeing.

It includes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes. Generally speaking, it refers to the obligation of children to their parents required by the society, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth. Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient Oriental civilization.Unit 4原文：Valentine39。s Day on February 14 is celebrated in various American and European countries. It is a h
