问答题小巷的动人之处就是它的无比悠闲。无论谁，只要你到那巷里去踟蹰一回，你的心情就会如巷尾不波的古井，那是一种平平和和的静穆，而不是阴森和肃杀。它闹中取静，别有天地，仍是人间。它可能是一条现代的乌衣巷，家家有自己的一本哀乐账，一部兴衰史，可是重门叠户，讳莫如深，夕阳影里，野花闲草，燕子低飞，寻觅归家。只是一片澄清如水的气氛，净化一切，笼罩一切，使人忘忧。

问答题 A college student becomes so compulsive about cleaning his dorm room that his grades begin to slip. An executive living in New York has a mortal fear of snakes but lives in Manhattan and rarely goes outside the city where he might encounter one. t computer technician, deeply anxious around strangers, avoids social and company gatherings and is passed over for promotion. Are these people mentally iii? (46) {{U}}In a report released last week, researchers estimated that more than half of Americans would develop mental disorders in their lives, raising questions about where mental health ends and illness begins.{{/U}} (47) {{U}}In fact, psychiatrists have no good answer, and the boundary between mental illness and normal mental struggle has become a battle line dividing the profession into two viscerally opposed camps{{/U}}. On one side are doctors who say that the definition of mental illness should be broad enough to include mild conditions, which can make people miserable and often lead to more severe problems later. (48) {{U}}On the other are experts who say that the current definitions should be tightened to ensure that limited resources go to those who need them the most and to preserve the profession's credibility with a public that often scoffs at claims that large numbers of Americans have mental disorders.{{/U}} The question is not just philosophical, where psychiatrists draw the line may determine not only the willingness of insurers to pay for services, but the future of research on moderate and mild mental disorders. (49) {{U}}Directly and indirectly, it will also shape the decisions of millions of people who agonize over whether they or their loved ones are in need of help, merely eccentric or dealing with ordinary life struggles.{{/U}} "This argument is heating up right now," said Dr. Darrel Regier, director 0f research at the American Psychiatric Association, "because we're in the process of revising the diagnostic manual," the catalog of mental disorders on which research, treatment and the profession itself are based. The next edition of the manual is expected to appear in 2010 or 2011, "and there's going continued debate in the scientific community about what the cut-points of clinical disease are," Dr. Regier said. Psychiatrists have been searching for more than a century for some biological marker for mental disease, to little avail. (50) {{U}}Although there is promising work in genetics and brain imaging, researchers are not likely to have anything resembling a blood test for a mental illness soon, leaving them with what they have always had.- observations o{ behavior, and patients' answers to questions about how they feel and how severe their condition is.{{/U}}

问答题This organization is also a manufacturing firm. Here, however, management encourages and rewards risk taking and change. Decisions based on intuition are valued as much as those that are well rationalized. Management prides itself on its history of experimenting with new technologies and its success in regularly introducing innovative products. Managers or employees who have a good idea are encouraged to "run with it", and failures are treated as "learning experiences" . The company prides itself on being market driven and rapidly responsive to the changing needs of its customers. There are few rules and regulations for employees to follow, and supervision is loose because management believes that its employees are hardworking and trustworthy.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Psychologists once believed that the motive that caused men to strive to attain high-level managerial positions was the "need for achievement". But now they believe it is the "need for power". Power seekers strive hard to reach positions where they can exercise authority over large numbers of people. (46) {{U}}Individual performers who lack this drive are not likely to advance far up the managerial ladder{{/U}}. They usually scorn company politics and devote their energies to other types of activities. The power game is part of management, and it is played best by those who enjoy it most. (47) {{U}}One of the least rational acts of business organizations is that of hiring managers who have a high need to exercise authority, and then teaching them that authoritative methods are wrong and that they should be consultative or participative{{/U}}. (48) {{U}}It is a serious mistake to teach managers that they should adopt styles that are inconsistent with their unique personalities{{/U}}. Yet this is precisely what a large number of business organizations are doing; and it explains, in part, why their management development programs are not effective. (49) {{U}}What managerial aspirants should be taught is how to exercise their authority in a way that is appropriate to the situation and the people involved{{/U}}. They need to learn that the real source of their power is their own knowledge and skill, and the strength of their own personalities, not the authority conferred on them by their positions. When they lack the knowledge or skill required to perform the work, they need to know how to share their authority. (50) {{U}}But when they know What has to be done and have the skill and personality to get it done, they must exercise their traditional authority in whatever way is necessary.{{/U}}

问答题 Eric Hansen writes about travel as a participating enthusiast rather than a mere observer. (46){{U}}It gives these nine essays, based on his adventures over the past quarter- century, a resonance and psychological depth not usually seen in more routine travel narratives.{{/U}} (47) {{U}}The reader follows wide-eyed from the armchair as Mr Hansen journeys from the French Riviera to the South Pacific, India, the United States and Borneo.{{/U}} Each story combines nuanced portraits of memorable characters with lyrical descriptions of human fallibility and generosity. In his wildest tale, Mr Hansen recounts his time working at a hotel on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait. (48){{U}}"Seldom," he writes, "does one have the chance to enjoy the company of people who have so completely given themselves over to the cultivation of the low life in such style and with such gusto."{{/U}} (49) {{U}}Beyond the booze, broken glass and fist fights, the author learns the history of the island's pearl divers who, in canvas suits and lead weighted shoes, snatch gold-lip pearl shells from a seabed teeming with sea snakes, giant groupers and saltwater crocodiles.{{/U}} Other stories tell of drinking hallucinogenic kava in Vanuatu; lingering on a beach with a beautiful Maldivian girl in a pleasurable pursuit that the locals call "night fishing"; cooking piroshki with a Moscow emigre in a tiny manhattan apartment while drug dealers shoot each other in the lobby below; and watching the Indonesian crew of a becalmed tall ship dance on deck to country and western music. (50){{U}}The most moving story comes from Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), where the author's frustration at the impenetrable bureaucracy when trying to ship his belongings home is put into perspective by his voluntary work at Mother Theresa's home for the dying.{{/U}} Here he bathes, feeds and comforts the inhabitants of the men's ward, where the panic and despair of death are replaced by dignity and humour. This sensitive portrait alone makes this heartfelt collection a magical and uplifting read.
