问答题One of the most important components of Corporate Resource Management is to recruit and retain the best workforce possible. Unfortunately, hiring qualified employees is tougher today than it has ever been before. Competition for well-educated and highly experienced candidates is incredible and companies no longer control the hiring as they did in the past. New job creation has reached an all-time high of more than three million new positions per year. As a result, compensation packages required to attract the right candidates, especially for technical positions, have increased in a dramatic way. The recruiting landscape has changed virtually overnight. Not only is it a job seeker's market, but the demand for technical talent has vastly increased while fewer technology "raw recruits" are entering the job market. It is incredible that the number of students studying computer science in the US is half of what it was about 1o years ago.

问答题Please read the following passage and translate the underlined parts into Chinese.(40 points, 8 points each) How to Manage Time 【F1】 The belief that time is a resource that must be monitored closely and managed carefully is one of the basic laws of our time-pressed world, as is the urge to do more and do it quicker. Is it any wonder our culture favors the young and energetic? Who else can accomplish the hundreds of tasks each of us must master in a typical day, as well as process the thousand bits of information rushing at us every hour? In my workshops at Omega and around the country on time-shifting—learning how to toggle between hyperproductivity and an awareness of the world around you—the first question I pose is" Do you feel that you have enough time in your daily lives?"Invariably, more than 90 percent declare an overwhelming sense of "time-poverty"—part of an epidemic of anxiety and pressure in our society. 【F2】 Ironically, in response, methods to improve our management of time have gained in popularity, along with new, speedier technology that helps us develop greater efficiency. Yet while these initially seem to help, they ultimately serve only to increase the speed of our lives. We learn to go faster and get more done—only to take on more work and responsibility. As a result, the future arrives that much quicker, and it begins to predominate. The "now" becomes a prelude to the "next". We do this so we can get to that. We work for the weekend, rush through lunch to get back to our desks, worry about next month"s deadline before this month is completed. We divide our attention and awareness between the task at hand that we"re rushing to complete and the next item on our day-planner. So, what is needed is to come into the present moment. Instead of rushing, take your time, let your rhythm slow down. You can rush late if you need to, but for now, simply perform the task that is in front of you, whether it"s washing the dishes or commuting to work. We spend our lives waiting for the important events to take place, rushing through these" in-between" moments. Yet the reality is that these in-betweens actually make up a significant portion of our lives. Allowing ourselves to be present in them and experience them fully is what makes us alive— and helps to keep us young. This involves developing a sense of mindfulness, a way of being that puts you fully in the moment without pressure or anxiety about staying on schedule. 【F3】 It is a quality that each of us needs to learn how to cultivate more in our lives, awakening all of our senses and being comfortable in the present—to feel rooted, with no need to rush. Some will read this and wonder why they should slow down. Isn"t it okay to keep moving along with the progress of modern times? Isn"t it, in fact, necessary to do so? There really is no right or wrong answer;rather it is a question of how we feel about our lives. My experience has taught me that there is too much stress caused by the frantic pace at which most of us exist. The result is a disconnection from the world around us and our sense of being alive in it. 【F4】 People report feeling trapped, powerless to effect any meaningful change, coping as best as they can yet knowing they don"t feel the way they would like to feel. The key is to step back from the edge, learn to get involved in the process rather than constantly longing for the end result. 【F5】 This does not mean giving up our goal-oriented lives—simply modifying them, finding a balance between our productive and our emotional selves. This enables us to live as whole beings, fully alive. In response to the pace of our modern world, learning how to successfully shift time can be one of the keys to achieving both health and longevity as we continue to age.

问答题March 27, 1997, dawned as a normal day at the Collins' home. By the middle of the morning, Jack Collins was at his desk, writing checks, paying bills the way he always had on time. Then the phone rang, and the nightmare began. (1){{U}}An investigator for a bank was on the line, asking in a severe voice why Collins, a university physicist, was late on payments for a $27,000 car, bought in Virginia the previous year.{{/U}} "I don't have a car like this," Collins protested. The last time he had set foot in Virginia was as an officer at a submarine base, three decades ago. But his name was on the contract, and so was his Social Security Number. During the months that ensued, he and his wife learned that someone had bought four more cars and 28 other items—worth $113,000 in all in their name. Their hitherto good credit record had been destroyed. (2){{U}}"After a lifetime of being honesty" says Collins, "all of a sudden I was basically being accused of stealing and treated like a criminal."{{/U}} This is what it means to fall prey to a nonviolent but frightening and fast-growing crime: identity theft. It happens to at least 500,000 new victims each year, according to government figures. (3){{U}}And it happens very easily because every identification number you have such as Social Security, credit cards, driver's license, telephone "is a key that unlocks some storage of money or goods," says a fraud (欺诈) program manager of the U.S. Postal Service.{{/U}} "So if you throw away your credit card receipt and I get it and use the number on it, I'm not becoming you, but to the credit card company I've become your account." (4){{U}}One major problem, experts say, is that the Social Security Number (SSN)—originally meant only for retirement benefit and tax purposes—has become the universal way to identify people.{{/U}} It is used as identification by the military, colleges and in billions of commercial transactions. Yet a shrewd thief can easily snatch your SSN, not only by stealing your wallet, but also by taking mail from your box, going through your trash for discarded receipts and bills or asking for it over the phone on some pretext. Using your SSN, the thief applies for a credit card in your name, asking that it be sent to a different address than yours, and uses it for multiple purchases. A couple of months later the credit card company, or its debt collection agency, presses you for payment. You don't have to pay the debt, but you must clean up your damaged credit record. (5) {{U}}That means getting a police report and copy of the erroneous contract, and then using them to clear the fraud from your credit reports which is held by a credit bureau.{{/U}} Each step can require a huge amount of effort.

问答题当我们从文化的视角放眼全球之际，对本土文化的认同与对未来发展方向的选择成为首要问题。什么是中华文明的优良传统?什么是当今世界上的先进文化?只有把这些放到人类文明发展的大背景下，放到全球多元文化的大视野中，才能得出结论。回首人类文明的产生与交往历史，东西方文化的差异与冲突不容回避。长期以来人们热衷于讨论中西文化孰优孰劣，究竟谁是先进或落后，但对其各自的渊源与特征却不甚明了，对文化差异与冲突的根本性质也缺乏认识。因此，我们更需要进行一番扎实的追本溯源工作，才能拥有自己的发言权。
