问答题I think that a successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interests involving appropriate activities.
1
It is in this sphere that long experience is really fruitful, and it is in this sphere that the wisdom born of experience can be exercised without being oppressive.
It is no use telling grown-up children not to make mistakes, both because they will not believe you, and because mistakes are an essen tial part of education.
2
But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests, you may find that your life will be empty unless you concern yourself with your children and grandchildren
. In that case you must realize that while you can still render them material services, such as making them an allowance or knitting them jumpers, you must not expect that they will enjoy your company.
Some old people are oppressed by the fear of death. In the young there is a justification for this feeling.
3
Young men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer
. But in an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do, the fear of death is somewhat abject and ignoble.
4
The best way to overcome it—so at least it seems to me--is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life
. An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being. The man who, in old age, can see his life in this way, will not suffer from the fear of death, since the things he cares for will continue. And if, with the decay of vitality, weariness increases, the thought of rest will not be unwelcome.
5
I should wish to die while still at work, knowing that others will carry on what I can no longer do and content in the thought that what was possible has been done.

On Punctuality
问答题As China"s economy has boomed over the past 30 years, the number of young people going into private business has grown accordingly. "Diving into the sea" of commerce, or xia hai as it is known, became accepted as the way to make money and get ahead, and interest in government jobs declined. Over the past decade, though, in an extraordinary reversal, young jobseekers have been applying in droves for government posts, even as the economy has quadrupled in size.
On November 25th the national civil-service examinations will take place, and about 1.4m people will sit them, 20 times more than a decade ago. Of that number, only 20, 800 will be hired by government (millions more sit the equivalent provincial exams with similarly long odds of being hired). This increase is due in part to a surge in the number of university students entering an intensely competitive market for jobs—nearly 7m graduated this year, compared with 1.5m a decade ago. It is also thanks to health, pension and (sometimes) housing benefits, which are seen as generous and permanent in a society with an underfunded safety net—a modern version of the unbreakable Maoist "iron rice-bowl" of state employment.

问答题The Wings of the Dove
问答题
The enlightenment needs rescuing, or so thinks Jonathan
Israel, the pre-eminent historian of 17th-century Holland. In 2001 he published
Radical Enlightenment. He now offers a second Volume with a third to come. (46)
{{U}}The three volumes will be the first comprehensive history of the
Enlightenment for decades--and Mr. Israel's groundbreaking interpretation looks
set to establish itself as the one to beat.{{/U}} The period was
once thought of as a glorious chapter in the history of mankind, a time when the
forces of light (science, progress and tolerance) triumphed over the forces of
darkness (superstition and prejudice). Today, the Enlightenment tends to be
dismissed. (47){{U}}Post-modernists attack it for being biased, self-deceived and
ultimately responsible for the worst in Western civilization.{{/U}}
Post-colonialists accuse it of being Eurocentric, an apology for imperialism.
Nationalist historians reject the idea of a coherent universal movement,
preferring to talk about the English, French, even Icelandic
Enlightenments. Mr. Israel has set himself the task oil
repelling these critics and re-establishing the period as the defining episode
in the liberation of man. His arguments are convincing. He contends that there
were two Enlightenments, one Radical, and the other Moderate. The Radicals,
inspired by Spinoza, were materialists, atheists and equalities. (48){{U}}The
Moderates, who followed Locke and Newton, were conservative and more at home
than the Radicals in the hierarchical and deeply religious world of 18th-century
Europe.{{/U}} They advocated only a partial Enlightenment. In Mr.
Israel's opinion, the Radicals offered the only true Enlightenment, giving us
democracy, equality, individual liberty and secular morality. The Moderates, on
the other hand, have left an ambiguous and, in the end, harmful legacy. While
promoting tolerance, they remained uncomfortable with the idea of universal
equality. While advancing reason, they failed to divorce morality from religion
and tried to rationalize faith. (49) {{U}}Mr. Israel argues that for as long as
historians treat the two wings of the Enlightenment as a single movement, they
have misunderstood the phenomenon.{{/U}} Worst still, they supply today's critics
with the evidence they need to blacken the movement. This
re-evaluation makes for an unfamiliar picture of the Enlightenment and its
torchbearers. According to Mr. Israel, "enlightened values" were born not in
England but in Holland, and he re-casts men such as Locke, Voltaire and even
Hume, once thought of as champions of the party of light, as apologists for
colonialism and enemies of equality. In addition, Mr. Israel would like his book
to be studied beyond academia. In an ideal world everyone would be reading it.
(50) {{U}}His stupendous research and grasp of the sources are such that few will
contest his core argument that the Enlightenment was a coherent, Europe-wide
phenomenon, intellectual in origin, which represented a profound shift in the
way that men thought about themselves and the world around them.{{/U}}
问答题At the start of the year, The Independent on Sunday argued that there were three over-whelming reasons why Iraq should not be invaded: there was no proof that Saddam posed an imminent threat; Iraq would be even more trustable as a result of its liberation; and a conflict would increase the threat posed by terrorists. (1) What we did not know was that Tony Blair had received intelligence and advice that raised the very same points. Last week's report from the Intelligence and Security Committee included the revelation that some of the intelligence had warned that a war against Iraq risked an increased threat of terrorism. Why did Mr. Blair not make this evidence available to the public in the way that so much of the alarmist intelligence on Saddam's weapons was published? (2) Why did he choose to ignore the intelligence and argue instead that the war was necessary, precisely because of the threat posed by international terrorism? There have been two parliamentary investigations into this war and the Hutton inquiry reopens tomorrow. (3) In their different ways they have been illuminating, but none of them has addressed the main issues relating to the war. The Foreign Affairs Committee had the scope to range widely, but chose to become entangled in the dispute between the Government and the BBC. The Intelligence Committee reached the conclusion that the Government's file on Saddam's weapons was not mixed up, but failed to explain why the intelligence was so hopelessly wrong. The Hutton inquiry is investigating the death of Dr. David Kelly, a personal tragedy of marginal relevance to the war against Iraq. Tony Blair has still to come under close examination about his conduct in the building-up to war. Instead, the Defence Secretary, Geoff Hoon, is being fingered as if he were master-minding the war behind everyone's backs from the Ministry of Defence. Mr. Hoon is not a minister who dares to think without consulting Downing Street first. At all times he would have been dancing to Downing Street's tunes. Mr. Blair would be wrong to assume that he can draw a line under all of this by making Mr. Hoon the fall-guy. (4) It was Mr. Blair who decided to take Britain to war, and a Cabinet of largely skeptical ministers that backed him. It was Mr. Blair who told MPs that unless Saddam was removed, terrorists would pose a greater global threat—even though he had received intelligence that suggested a war would lead to an increase in terrorism. Parliament should be the forum in which the Prime Minister is called more fully to account, but lain Duncan Smith's support for the war has neutered an already inept opposition. (5) In the absence of proper parliamentary scrutiny, it is left to newspapers like this one to keep asking the most important questions until the Prime Minister answers them.
