问答题Most people would define optimism as being endlessly happy, with a glass that"s perpetually half full. But that"s exactly the kind of false cheerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn"t recommend. "Healthy optimism means being in touch with reality," says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor. According to Ben-Shahar, realistic optimists are those who make the best of things that happen, but not those who believe everything happens for the best. Ben-Shahar uses three optimistic exercises. When he feels down—say, after giving a bad lecture, he grants himself permission to be human. He reminds himself that not every lecture can be a Nobel winner, some will be less effective than others. Next is reconstruction. He analyzes the weak lecture, learning lessons for the future about what works and what doesn"t. Finally, there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the grand scheme of life, one lecture really doesn"t matter.

When acquired by purchase, a deed is given by the seller, or grantor, to the purchaser, or grantee. The deed contains a legal description of the property conveyed. It must be drawn, executed, and acknowledged in proper form to be entitled to record. 14 It is customary for the seller and the purchaser to enter into a contract, at which time the purchaser makes a deposit on account of the purchase price. 15 The purchaser engages an attorney or a title company to search the title to the property. The title company ensures that the seller can convey clear title, the transaction is then closed.

问答题As she sat facing the open window, she could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air.

There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.

问答题Halltowell argues in his new book, Driven to Distraction at Work: How to Focus and Be More Productive , that when you feel real or imagined concerns piling on, share them with a friend, and there"s a better chance that aimless anxiety will change into problem-solving. He believes that worrying alone is one of the major reasons that people can"t focus, both at work and elsewhere in their lives. Worrying alone does not have to be toxic, but it tends to become toxic because in isolation we lose perspective. We tend to globalize, catastrophize, when no one is there to act as a reality check. Our imaginations run wild. Indeed, Samuel Johnson, a severe worrier himself, called worry a "disease of the imagination". When we worry alone we risk losing touch with reality, becoming paralyzed in worry, making bad decisions, and even getting sick, as toxic worry depresses immune function.

问答题Broad and narrow transcription (中山大学2006研)

问答题During the 20th century Europe has experienced periods of considerable economic growth and prosperity, and industrial development has proliferated much more widely throughout the continent: but continued economic development in Europe has been handicapped to a large degree by its multi- national character--which has spawned economic rivalries among states and two devastating World wars--as well as by the exhaustion of many of its resources and by increased economic, competition from overseas. Governmental protectionism, which has tended to restrict the potential market for a product to a single country, has deprived many industrial concerns of the efficiencies of large-scale production serving a mass market ( such as is found in the United States). In addition, enterprise efficiency has suffered from government support and from a lack of competition within a national market area. Within individual countries there have been growing tensions between regions that have prospered and those that have not. This core-periphery problem has been particularly acute in situations where the contrasting regions are inhabited by different ethnic groups.
