填空题 America's liberal and conservative elites disagree about everything under the sun. from the role of God in the constitution to John Bolton's table manners. Yet on one issue they are as one: the country is going to hell in a hand-basket.41. __________. For liberals, Americans are suffering from epidemics of "traumas" and "syndromes". The left has always worried about the effects of rapacious capitalism on the American psyche. Listen to Mary Pipher, a bestselling clinical psychologist, on girls: "Just as planes and ships disappear mysteriously into the Bermuda Triangle, so do the selves of girls go down in droves. They crash and burn" Or compare William Pollak. a Harvard psychologist, on boys: "Our nation is home to millions of boys who...are cast out to sea in separate lifeboats, and feel that they are drowning in isolation, depression. loneliness and despair." Half an hour listening to "Oprah" or browsing in a bookshop could produce a dozen equally depressing theses, expressed in equally dismal metaphors, about every, sort of American.42. __________. This literature is built on one huge assumption: that Americans are a fragile bunch. Forget about the flinty Pilgrims who built a hyperpower out of a wilderness. Today's Americans are so vulnerable they need to be shielded from competition. In their excellent new book. "One Nation Under Therapy: How the Helping Culture is Eroding Self-Reliance" (St. Martin's Press). Christina Hoff Sommers and Sally Satel. of the American Enterprise Institute, detail the rise of an ever-proliferating profession of grief counsellors, trauma therapists, syndrome specialists, stress-reducers and assorted degree-bearing charlatans.43. __________. This book has naturally garnered favourable reviews from fellow conservatives. Yet the right is equally prey to its own variety of crisis-mongering. Conservatives blame sin. rather than syndromes, and cultural decline, rather than economic dislocation. But many share the left's sense of human vulnerability, and a surprising number have a weakness for psychobabble. It is no accident that the most powerful man in the Christian right. James Dobson. the head of Focus on the Family, is both a child psychologist and a veritable fountain of social' science statistics.44. __________. For conservatives, the family is being battered by pop culture, gay rights and feminism. Rebecca Hagelin of the Heritage Foundation argues that, thanks in pan to the ubiquity of the porn culture, America has gone "stark raving mad" (to use the subtitle of her new book). Gloomy conservative groups issue toe-curling warnings about the "inexorable grip of homosexual lust" and "feminism's love affair with abortion, and lesbianism".45. ___________. Is this really true? Take a look at most of the recent cultural indicators, and it is hard to know where to start with the good news. The proportion of black children living with married parents is increasing. The proportion of women with infants in the. workforce (the women that is, not the infants) is declining, meaning that more mothers are staying at home. Both teenage pregnancy rates and teenage abortion rates have declined by about a third over the past 15 years. For all the talk of "hooking up", a growing proportion of schoolchildren are waiting to have sex until they are older. The good news is not confined to sex. Child poverty is down substantially from its high in 1993 (whatever happened to the "disastrous consequences" of welfare reform?). So is juvenile crime. Alcohol and drug use are lower. The idea that young America is tossing about on a sea of misery hardly tallies with academic evidence, which shows 73% of teenagers to be "hopeful and optimistic, in thinking about the future" (a Horatio Alger study in 2002-03 ), a mere 7.5% of college students feeling frequently depressed (UCLA. 2003 ) and the teen-suicide rate down by a quarter (the Centres for Disease Control. 2004).[A] The literature assumes that Americans are vulnerable.[B] The conservatives' opinions of Americans' psychological problems[C] The conservatives think that Americans are fragile.[D] The liberals' opinions about the American psyche[E] The conservatives regard the social problems as the cause of the American's psychological problems.[F] The recent data indicates that Americans have an improvement in many social problems.

填空题A. I just don"t know how to motivate them to do a better job. We"re in a budget crunch and I have absolutely no financial rewards at my disposal. In fact, we"ll probably have to lay some people off in the near future. It"s hard for me to make the job interesting and challenging because it isn"t—it"s boring, routine paperwork, and there isn"t much you can do about it. B. Finally, I can"t say to them that their promotions will hinge on the excellence of their paperwork. First of all, they know it"s not true. If their performance is adequate, most are more likely to get promoted just by staying on the force a certain number of years than for some specific outstanding act. Second, they were trained to do the job they do out in the streets, not to fill out our forms. All through their career it is the arrests and interventions that get noticed. C. I"ve got a real problem with my officers. They come on the force as young, inexperienced men, and we send them out on the street, either in cars or on a beat. They seem to like the contact they have with the public, the action involved in crime prevention, and the apprehension of criminals. They also like helping people out at fires, accidents, and other emergencies. D. Some people have suggested a number of things like using conviction records as a performance criterion. However, we know that"s not fair—too many other things are involved. Bad paperwork increases the chance that you lose in court, but good paperwork doesn"t necessarily mean you"ll win. We tried setting up team competitions based on the excellence of the reports, but the guys caught on to that pretty quickly. No one was getting any type of reward for winning the competition, and they figured why should they labor when there was no payoff. E. The problem occurs when they get back to the station. They hate to do the paperwork, and because they dislike it, the job is frequently put off or done inadequately. This lack of attention hurts us later on when we get to court. We need clear, factual reports. They must be highly detailed and unambiguous. As soon as one part of a report is shown to be inadequate or incorrect, the rest of the report is suspect. Poor reporting probably causes us to lose more cases than any other factor. F. So I just don"t know what to do. I"ve been groping in the dark in a number of years. And I hope that this seminar will shed some light on this problem of mine and help me out in my future work. G. A large metropolitan city government was putting on a number of seminars for administrators, managers and/or executives of various departments throughout the city. At one of these sessions the topic to be discussed was motivation—how we can get public servants motivated to do a good job. The difficulty of a police captain became the central focus of the discussion. Order: G→ 22 → 23 → 24 → 25 → 26 →F

填空题"Every three months from the beginning of 2008," says Cliff Richard, who was once Britain's answer to Elvis Presley, "I will lose a song." The reason is that in most European countries copyright protection on sound recordings lasts for 50 years, and (now) Sir Cliff recorded his first hit single, "Move It", in 1958. (41)______ One of the big four music firms estimates that about 100m "deep catalogue" (ie, old) albums now sold in Europe each year will have entered the public domain by the end of 2010. Assuming a current wholesale price of $10, that could jeopardise $1 billion of revenues, or about 3% of annual recorded music sales. (42)______ Even once much of the back catalogue has entered the public domain, the big music firms can carry on selling it on CD. They will even benefit from not having to pay anything to the artist or to his estate. They will in many cases still own copyright on the original cover art. But they will face new competition from a host of providers of CDs who may undercut them. And on the internet, public domain music is likely to be free, as much of the copy righted stuff already is on peer-to-peer networks. (43) ______ Artists have rallied to the cause: U2, Status Quo and Charles Aznavour all want the 50-year limit increased. Many more acts will sign a petition this spring. Sir Cliff has spent hours complaining to the commission that composers of songs get copyright for 70 years after their death: more than performers. (44)______ Many people believe that America has gone too far in protecting copyright at the expense of the public good, including, it seems, the commission, which said last year that it saw no need to lift its own 50-year limit. Its deadline for proposals on copyright law has supped from this year to 2006. But governments are likely to weigh in on the issue. France, Italy and Portugal have indicated that they support an extension of the term, and Britain is likely to stick up for its own music major, EMI. Although artists and their estates want longer copyright, the big music firms would benefit from it the most, especially 'in the next couple of decades, says Stephen King, chairman of the Association of United Recording Artists and manager of the Libertines: (45)______. Now they have wised up about making deals. The best guarantee of financial security—safer than clinging on to copyright—is hiring a good lawyer early on. [A] He is unlikely to produce such a big hit in the near future, so more of his attention is directed to revising the old song and selling it to more people. [B] Back in the 1950s, he says, performers got only one-tenth of the share of royalties that they do now. For years, artists have, with good reason, accused big record labels of ripping them off. [C] This month, early recordings by Elvis himself started to enter Europe' s public domain. Over the next few decades a torrent of the most popular tracks from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and many other artists. will become public property in Europe—to the pleasure of fans and the consternation of the music industry. [D] The music industry also points out that America gives artists almost twice as much copyright protection as Europe. America has repeatedly lengthened copyright terms, with the latest reprieve, the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, giving performers protection for 95 years after publication. [E] But when the attention is shifted from Europe to America, artists should feel much better because the length of copyright protection there is even shorter. It seems that the American government is more interested in serving the public than the already very rich artists. [F] Music executives want the European Commission to protect them from such unwelcome competition by extending the copyright term. [G] And that estimate accounts only for songs up to the end of the 1950s. Far more will be at risk as music from the 1960s and 1970s moves out of copyright.
