丢失一个钉子，坏了一只蹄铁； 坏了一只蹄铁，折了一匹战马； 折了一匹战马，伤了一位骑士； 伤了一位骑士，输了一场战斗； 输了一场战斗，亡了一个帝国。 　　 　　 马蹄铁上一个钉子是否会丢失，本是初始条件的十分微小的变化，但其“长期”效应却是一个帝国存与亡的根本差别。这就是军事和政治领域中的所谓“蝴蝶效应”。有点不可思议，但是确实能够造成这样的恶果。一个明智的领导人一定要防微杜渐，看似一些极微小的事情却有可能造成集体内部的分崩离析，那时岂不是悔之晚矣？横过深谷的吊桥，常从一根细线拴个小石头开始。 蝴蝶效应在社会学界用来说明：一个坏的微小的机制，如果不加以及时地引导、调节，会给社会带来非常大的危害，戏称为“龙卷风”或“风暴”；一个好的微小的机制，只要正确指引，经过一段时间的努力，将会产生轰动效应，或称为“革命”。 The social position of the characters influences the way they behave to each other. Generally speaking, people are more polite to those whom they think are of a higher social class and less polite to those they are consider are members of a lower class. Is this true of the characters in Shaw’s play? Give your evidence in the chart below. 1. Come over’ere, cap’in, and buy me flowers off a poor girl. Pre-read the reading text Pygmalion. The play by Shaw has the same theme as the Greek story. What this theme might be? Write a short passage less than 100 words. Can you recognize each character’s social position by their behaviour and language? Is he or she from the upper class, middle class or lower class? Give your reasons. Eliza is from the lower class. She is respectful to people of the higher class. Henry Higgins is from the middle class. He is rude to the lower class and polite to the same or upper class. Colonel Pickering is from the upper class. 2. Attitude to Eliza (L) 1.
