问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. {{U}}At a time when Wall Street firms are being punished for misleading investors about dot-com stocks during the bubble, it' s all too easy to confuse financial excitement with technological reality.{{/U}} Many people are quick to dismiss any talk of an "Internet revolution" as so such' 90s chatter. (47) {{U}}There is a world of difference between crazy evaluations and serious technology, between Internet stocks and the Net itself.{{/U}} While investors have been complaining about their fate, chief executives have been busy embracing the Net. It' s time to get over the bubble talk and get real about technology' s promise. Or risk falling behind. The strong upturn in profits last quarter during a period of weak economic growth is proof to the productivity—enhancing power of the Net. Through boom, bust and recovery, annual productivity growth has powered along at around 2.5%. Without it, companies would have been forced to cut payrolls even further during the worst days of the decline. With it, companies are generating higher profits without big gains in revenues. As the economy picks up steam, productivity will likely boost profits even further. Despite usual wisdom, electronic business has exceeded even the dreamy projections of 1999. Business-to-business commerce conducted online will reach $ 2.6 trillion in 2003. And many surviving dot-com companies are doing surprisingly well. (48) {{U}}Some 40% of publicly held Net companies, including Amazon. com Inc. , were profitable in the fourth quarter of 2002, and half are expected to be profitable by the end of this year.{{/U}} True, there has been vicious disaster in the field. Venture capitalists poured $100 billion into more than 6,000 Net startups over the past decade, and 2,000 disappeared. Many ideas, some crazy and some not, failed. But eBay, Amazon. com, Yahoo!, Google, Expedia, and others are making money, thanks to a recovery in online advertising and they are changing the face of business. Just as the former IBM Chief Executive Louis V. Gerstner and others predicted, mainstream Corporate America is turning out to be the chief beneficiary of the Internet. Using it, companies are streamlining production, inventory, and sales; cutting costs; and tracking their customers. It apparently takes four to six years after first installing new systems before productivity gains are maximized. (49) {{U}}Most companies are in their third or fourth year, which may explain why productivity growth has been rising consistently during the downturn, instead of dropping as it usually does in a fall.{{/U}} It may also mean that productivity and profits may be stronger than expected in the second half of 2003 and in 2004. The US economy has had bad luck for three years. The bubble, terrorism, corporate fraud, war, and now SARS. Yet it has weathered these mostly unexpected shocks rather well. Smart financial and economic policy has helped. (50){{U}}But the real key has been Internet technology, which provided the flexibility and productivity to adjust quickly without drastic cuts.{{/U}} Think what the Net will do for the economy when we get back to normal.

问答题Recent legal research indicates that incorrect identification is a major factor in many miscarriages of justice. 46)It also suggests that identification of people by witnesses in a courtroom is not as reliable as commonly believed. Recent studies do not support the degree of faith judges, jurors, lawyers and the police have in eyewitness evidence. The Law Commission recently published an educational paper, " Total Recall? The Reliability, of Witness Testimony', as a companion guide to a proposed code of evidence. The paper finds that commonly held perceptions about how our minds work and how well we remember are often wrong. But while human memory is fragile and subject to change, it should not be underestimated. Both common sense and research say memory declines over time. The accuracy of recall and recognition are at their best immediately after encoding the information, declining at first rapidly, then gradually. 47) The longer the delay, the more likely it is that information obtained after the event will interfere with the original memory, which reduces accuracy. The paper says subsequent interviews or media reports can create such distortions. "People are particularly susceptible to having their memories modified when the passage of time allows the original memory to fade, and will be most susceptible if they repeat the misinformation as fact. " 48) Witnesses may see or read information after the event, then integrate it to produce something other than what was experienced, significantly reducing the reliability of their memory of an event or offender. "Further, witnesses may strongly believe in their memories, even though aspects of those memories are verifiably false. " The paper says it is generally agreed that the memories of adults and children are fallible. Nevertheless, even preschoolers can form reliable memories. Young children depend on context to promote memory, and spontaneously report less. Children may recall more information with adequate support, but the type of support and questioning is critical. Methods of drawing out information have to be carefully monitored. Although research shows the accuracy of both adults and children can be affected by leading or suggestive questions, the ability to resist the influence of external suggestion increases with age. 49) Children may change their account of an event, not because their memory has altered but because they wish to comply with the suggestion of an adult in authority, or because they interpret repeated questioning as an indication their first response is .judged wrong. 50) The paper says further research is required into interview techniques and conditions under which false memories and reports of abuse are most likely to arise. It seems that deciding whether any memory is to be finally assessed as reliable or the treacherous ally of invention will largely remain a challenge for judges and juries.

问答题So, why is it so hard to throw in the towel, even when on some level you know you should? For one thing, it's embarrassing to admit to others that you've bitten off more than you can chew, or that you've made an error of judgment. No one likes to be thought of as a'quitter. 'For another, quitting means accepting the unrecoverable costs—all the time and energy that you've already put into reaching your goal that you can never get back. Of course, once you realize that you probably won't succeed, or that success isn't worth the unhappiness your project is causing you, it shouldn't matter what the unrecoverable costs are. If your job, your advanced degree, or your unfinished novel has taken up some of the best years of your life, it doesn't make sense to give them even more years. That will only make you miserable.
