问答题In politics, in the courts, even on the ubiquitous TV talk shows, it is good form to pick an intellectual fight. People attach each other—hurl insults, even—and it counts as logical argument. I cannot understand it. 【T1】 It seems that our society favors a kind of ritualized aggression. Everywhere you look, in newspapers and on television, issues are presented using the terminology of war and conflict. We hear of battles, duels(决斗)and disputes. We see things in terms of winners and losers, victors and victims. 【T2】 The problem is society's unquestioning belief in the advantages of the debate as a way of solving disagreements, even proving right from wrong. Our brainwashing begins early at school, when the brightest pupils are co-opted onto the debating system. They get there because they can think up a good argument to support their case. Once on the debate team, they learn that they earn bonus points for the skill with which they verbally attack, or insult, the opposing team. 【T3】 They win if they can successfully convince the audience that they are right, even if the case they are arguing is clearly non-sensual. They do this by proving themselves to be stronger, brighter, more outrageous, even. The training in this adversarial approach continues at our tertiary institutions. The standard way to present an academic paper, for instance, is to take up an opposing argument to something expressed by another academic. The paper must set out to prove the other person wrong. This is not at all the same thing as reading the original paper with an open mind and discovering that you disagree with it. 【T4】 The reverence for the adversarial approach spills over into all areas of life. Instead of answering their critics, politicians learn to sidestep negative comments and turn the point around to an attack on accusers. Defense lawyers argue the case for their clients even when they suspect they may be guilty. And ordinary people use the came tactics—just listen to your teenager next time you pull him up for coming home late. You can be sure a stream of abuse will flow about your own time-keeping, your irritating habits, your history of bad parenting.

问答题美国人的饮食习惯正在发生诸多变化。美国人多年来那种丰盛的、一成不变的肉制品加土豆的传统餐，早已为世人所熟知。 而今，我们美国人可以有多种不同的选择，除了传统的家常菜外，我们可享受各种帮派的民族风味餐、营养合理的保健餐以及方便可口的快餐。 速度是美国人生活中的一个非常重要的因素，通常人们的午餐休息时间很短，即使午餐时间充裕，美国人也不愿意在用餐上花费过多的时间。 由于快餐饮食店可以在很短的时间里向数以万计的客人供餐，所以人们通常无须排队。 快餐食品的价格总是低廉的。烹制汉堡、比萨饼和炸鸡的餐馆均属这类快餐食品店。 虽然许多美国人仍然会站在汉堡包摊前打发自己的午餐，但是晚餐时，美国人同其他国家的许多人一样会静下心来，从容不迫地品尝菜肴的美味。

问答题Parks contribute to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. (111) At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the basis of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of greenery in the urban environment is a first step on the right way. (112) This does not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greenery in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of parks. (113) The theoretical separation of living, working traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there has been relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. (114) We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the front door of the house. (115) The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect. The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district; if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great; if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather; in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the front door of your house is closed behind you.

问答题我们也不应该忘记，广告给我们的钱袋做出了积极的贡献。没有这笔收入来源，报纸、商业电台和电视公司就不能生存。我们花很少的钱就能够买到一份日报，或者能够欣赏如此众多的广播节目，完全是由于广告商付了这部分钱。想想看，要是让你付全价，报纸会有多贵!
