问答题No company likes to be told it is contributing to the moral decline of a nation. Is this what you intended to accomplish with your careers? Senator Robert Dole asked Time Warner executives last week. You have sold your souls, but must you corrupt our nation and threaten our children as well? At Time Warner, however, such questions are simply the latest manifestation of the soul-searching that has involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990. (1) It's a self-examination that has, at various times, involved issues of responsibility, creative freedom and the corporate bottom line. At the core of this debate is chairman Gerald Levin, 56, who took over for the late Steve Ross in 1992. (2) On the financial front, Levin is under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the company's mountainous debt, which will increase to $17.3 billion after two new cable deals close. He has promised to sell off some of the property and restructure the company, but investors are waiting impatiently. (3) The flap over rap is not making life any easier for him, Levin has consistently defended the company's rap music on the grounds of expression. In 1992, when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice-T's violent rap song Cop Killer, Levin described rap as lawful expression of street culture, which deserves an outlet. (4) The test of any democratic society, he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column, lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be. We won't retreat in the face of any threats. Levin would not comment on the debate last week, but there were signs that the chairman was backing off his hard-line stand, at least to some extent. During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month's stockholders' meeting. Levin asserted that music is not the cause of society's ills and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate with students. (5) But he talked as well about the balanced struggle between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he announced that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music. The 15-member Time Warner board is generally supportive of Levin and his corporate strategy. But insiders say several of them have shown their concerns in this matter. "Some of us have known for many, many years that the freedoms under the First Amendment are not totally unlimited," says Luce. I think it is perhaps the case that some people associated with the company have only recently come to realize this.

问答题Last Sunday, China's central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan said if necessary, the nation will consider widening the yuan's trading band. But any change in the yuan's floating band will depend on the global economic situation and it's not the only tool the country would use to make its currency more flexible, Zhou said at the Group of 20 meeting in Cape Town, South Africa. China widened the yuan's daily trading band against the U. S. dollar from plus or minus 0.3 percent to 0.5 percent in May. However, market observers said some commercial banks are ordered by the central bank to hand in reserve requirements in foreign currencies next week, which will translate into demand for the U. S. dollar. This will somehow help slow down RMB'S appreciation against the greenback in the coming few days.

问答题A Journey by Train: Making Tracks in Europe We"re taking a train across Europe, from the coast of France all the way to Athens, a trip that has our friends expressing their concern. 1 The general feeling seems to be that France and Italy are fine—but the ferry from Italy and the train ride across Greece? They call it "traveling rough". The first leg is easy, from the French port of Calais to Paris. And very comfortable too. 2 One of the benefits of a Eurail pass is that you get to travel first class (unless you"re using a youth pass), and for the first time in our lives we ride a train in a "compartment" just as in the movies. These compartments seat six but today we"re the only occupants so we spread ourselves and our luggage around. 3 Our reward: three days in Paris. We thrill to all the things you"re supposed to thrill to - the Eiffel Tower, the Louver, the Arc de Triomphe. But the really memorable moment in this city is one of those spontaneous human events you can never plan for . The trick of traveling, I guess, is to be ready to savor whatever happens. I"m standing on the corner by one of the famous bridges across the River Seine, the Pont Neuf. 4 There"s nothing special about it. In a city battered by the roar of endless cars, it"s just another crossroads where two large streams of traffic meet. All roar, more roar and uproar. (Cars are the great bane of Europe. The inner city streets of most of the old cities were never designed for this sort of traffic—and it shows.) 5 I pause among the surging pedestrians to ease my weary feet. That"s when I hear it. Rising triumphantly above the howl of the traffic, catchy music jingles in the air. I look around me. It"s coming from... an organ grinder (街头风琴师). 6 Everyone is hurrying and straining to be somewhere else. But my wiry little organ grinder pours his heart into bringing this corner alive with his music. Old favorite songs dance gaily above our heads—"Can Can", "Lara"s Theme", "Funiculi-Funicula" —these popular songs form past decades have a European father than an American flavour. 7 Amazingly, a furry cat is fast asleep on top of the music machine ignoring everything around it as if this was some peaceful garden rather than a precarious perch that shakes with every, turn of its owner"s arm. And in a basket by the organ"s pram wheels, a dog dreams peacefully while commuters pour out from an underground station. My organ grinder has discovered the miracle of perpetual motion. Round and round goes his arm, his body rocking to the effort. 8 Casually the transfers the handle from one hand to the other, catching it as it twirls, the music leaping around him as if it would whisk him and his machine over the rooftops and away past Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院) or along the Champs Elysees (香榭丽舍大道). Mind you, he"s not the only one presiding over this noisy comer. Two police officers are here as well, charged with maintaining order. One is male, youthful and confident. 9 The other is ... well, a police girl. Her gun is almost as big as she is. Her weapon belt sags on her hips. Maybe in a couple of years she"ll develop into a police-woman, but it"ll take at least that long to grow into her official-issue trousers. But, petite as she is, this Parisienne carries with her all the authority of the French gendarmerie. The traffic at the come is clogging up—as it does repeatedly during my half-hour. Boldly she blows her whistle and strides out into the surge of traffic. 10 Angry cars growl to a halt and sullenly crouch at her feet, snarling their annoyance, fretting to be away. But, cowed by her tiny arm they bite back their frustration and wait till this uniformed child waves them on.

问答题We are now in an inter-disciplinary integration era, the pervasion and cooperation among disciplines has become a general trend for the development of science. We wouldn't have today's advanced computer graphics systems if mathematician hadn't been able to solve problems related to surface geometric. We Wouldn't have networks capable of handling massive amounts of data if physicists and astronomers hadn't continuously forged tools to look more deeply into subatomic structures and the cosmos. Chemists' efforts to simulate complex phenomena and predict the properties of many-electron systems have inspired massively parallel architectures for computing. And the information made available by the sequencing of the human genome has caused us to rethink how to store, manipulate, and retrieve data most effectively. It will take new insights from studies of human cognition, linguistics, neurobiology, computing, and more to develop systems that truly augment our capacity to learn and create.

问答题I Hear America Singing (Walt Whitman)I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame;I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men, at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done;I see, in low life, the mother misused by her children, dying, neglected, gaunt, desperate;I see the wife misused by her husband—I see the treacherous seducer of young women;I mark the rankling of jealousy and unrequited love, attempted to be hid—I see these sights on he earth;I see the working of battle, pestilence, tyranny—I see martyrs and prisoners;I observe a famine at sea—I observe the sailors casting lots who shall be kill"d, to preserve the lives of the rest;I observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons upon laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like;All these-All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look out upon,See, hear, and am silent.

问答题 Exercise, everyone advises! But immediately, when you try, you run into trouble. (46){{U}}There is so much contradictory, sometimes incorrect advice about exercising that you become confused{{/U}}. Test yourself on the following true false quiz. It will tell you what you need to know. 1. The best way to reduce the mid-section is to do abdominal exercise. False. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues in the immediate area are "burned up." (47){{U}}The truth-is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area, regardless of the type of exercise{{/U}}. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waistline too! 2. To maintain an adequate level of physical fitness, you need to exercise only twice a week. False. Studies conducted by NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. After 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish the good physical effect. And what does that mean to you? (48) {{U}}NASA scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most beneficial, three alternating days each week will maintain an adequate level of physical fitness{{/U}}. 3. To lose weight you should always "work up a good sweat" when exercising. False. Sweating only lowers body temperature to prevent overheating; it does not help you reduce weight. You may weigh less immediately after a workout, but this is due to water loss. Once you replace the liquid, you replace the weight. 4. If your breathing doesn't return to normal within minutes after you finish exercising, you've exercised too much. True. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn't be pounding, and you shouldn't be exhausted. (49) {{U}}Beneficial exercise is not overly difficult, unpleasant, and exhausting; it is moderate, enjoyable, and refreshing{{/U}}. 5. Walking is one of the best exercises. True. Walking helps circulation of blood throughout the body, and thus has a direct effect or your overall feeling of health. 6. The minimum amount of time you should spend exercising in a day is 20 minutes. True. There are more than 400 muscles that attach to your skeleton. (50) {{U}}A good exercise routine should contract and stretch all these muscles, and this simply cannot be done with four or five exercises in five to ten minutes{{/U}}. From experience, I've found that about 20 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed for an adequate workout.

问答题71.The international software market represents a significant business opportunity for U.S. microcomputer software companies, but illegal copying of programs is limiting the growth of sales abroad. If not dealt with quickly, international piracy of software could become one of the most serious trade problems faced by the United States. 72. Software piracy is already the biggest barrier to U.S. software companies entering foreign markets. One reason is that software is extremely easy and inexpensive to duplicate compared to the cost of developing and marketing the software. The actual cost of duplicating a software program, which may have a retail value of $ 400 or more, can be as little as a dollar or two—the main component being the cost of the diskette. 73. The cost of counterfeiting software is substantially less than the cost of duplicating watches, books, or blue jeans. Given that the difference between the true value of the original and the cost of the counterfeit is so great for software, international piracy has become big business. Unfortunately, many foreign governments view software piracy as an industry in and of itself and look tile other way. U.S. firms stand to lose million of dollars in new business, and diminished U.S. sales nut only harm individual firms but also adversely affect the entire U.S. economy.
