问答题Opinion polls are now beginning to show that whoever is to blame, and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely. But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future of work. Should we continue to threat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work? The industrial age has Been the only period of human history in which most people's work has taken the form of jobs. 46)The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought max have to be reversed. This seems a daunting(令人气馁的)thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has no meant economic freedom. 47)Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and the 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people's homes. 48)Later t as transport improved, first by rail and then by boat, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people's work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived. Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes. It was not only women whose work status suffered. 49)As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded-a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives. All this may now have to change. 50)The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal of creating jobs for all, to urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.

问答题Lie detectors are widely used in the United States to find out whether a person is telling the truth or not.
21
Polygraphers, the people who operate them, claim that they can establish guilt by detecting physiological changes that accompany emotional stress.
The technique adopted is to ask leading questions such as: "Did you take the money?" or "Where did you hide the money?" mixed in with neutral questions, and measure the subject"s electrical resistance in the palm or changes in his breathing and heart rate. Such apparatus has obtained widespread recognition.
Whether lie detectors will ever be adopted on a similar scale in Britain is still a matter of opinion.
22
At first sight, it appears obvious that any simple, reliable method of convicting guilty people is valuable, but recent research sponsored by the U.S. Office of Public Health not only raises doubts about how lie detectors should be used but also makes it questionable whether they should be employed at all.
23
The point is that, apart from many of the polygraphers being unqualified the tests themselves are by no means free from error, primarily because they discount human imagination and ingenuity.
Think of all those perfectly innocent people, with nothing to be afraid of, who blush and stammer when a customs officer asks them if they have anything to declare. Fear, and a consequently heightened electrical response, may not be enough to establish guilt. It depends on whether the subject is afraid of being found out or afraid of being wrongfully convicted.
24
On the other hand, the person who is really guilty and whose past experience has prepared him for such tests can distort the results by anticipating the crucial questions or deliberately giving exaggerated responses to neutral ones!
The success rate of up to 90% claimed for lie detectors is misleadingly attractive. If we refer such a figure to a company with 500 employees, twenty of whom are thieves, the lie detector could catch 18 of them but in doing so would place 32 innocent employees under suspicion. The problem for the management would therefore become one of deciding how much industrial unrest they are prepared to cause in order to eliminate theft.
25
What concerns research workers even more, of course, is the fact that a certain number of innocent people are bound to be convicted of crimes they have not committed.

问答题81. By now it's hardly news that as education has risen to the top of the national agenda, a great wave of school reform has focused on two related objectives: more-stringent academic standards and increasingly rigorous accountability for both students and schools. 82. In state after state, legislatures, governors, and state boards, supported by business leaders, have imposed tougher requirements in math, English, science, and other fields, together with new tests by which the performance of both students and schools is to be judged. In some places students have already been denied diplomas or held back in grade if they failed these tests. 83. In some states funding for individual schools and for teachers' and principals' salaries -- and in some, such as Virginia, the accreditation of schools -- will depend on how well students do on tests. More than half the states now require tests for student promotion or graduation. But a backlash has begun. 84. In Virginia this spring parents, teachers, and school administrators opposed to the state's Standard of Learning assessments, established in 1998, inspired a flurry_ of bills in the legislature that called for revising the tests of their status as unavoidable hurdles for promotion and graduation. One bill would also have required that each new member of the sate board of education "take the eighth grade Standards of Learning assessments in English, mathematics, science, and social sciences" and that "the results of such assessments.., be publicly reported." 85. None of the bills passed, but there's little doubt that if the system isn't revised and the state's high failure rates don't decrease by 2004, when the first Virginia senior may be denied diplomas, the political pressure will intensify. Meanwhile, some parents are talking about Massachusetts-style boycotts.

问答题微笑,永远是微笑者个人的专利,它既不能租,又不能买;既不能借,又不能偷。微笑,是微笑者心境的体现。这种笑脸又能产生多种功能:它能使某些人之间的生疏变成亲密,使某些人之间的隔阂变成融洽,它能使失意成为顺意,使烦恼成为愉快;它能使人们的心灵沟通,感情交融……
微笑,凝聚着内心的纯洁无私,召唤着友谊与情感的到来,消化着矛盾和不快。微笑是无声的,但又胜似有声。微笑把一具心灵传递给另一具心灵。古人说:笑口常开,笑古笑今,万事一笑了之。我们可以理解为:带着微笑的赞扬,使人感到诚心,能催人奋进;带着微笑的批评,使人感到善意,能促人进步;带着微笑的拒绝,使人感到理解,能帮人走出困境;带着微笑的请求,使人感到亲切,能帮人过关。
微笑是光明的,微笑的世界是文明的世界。愿每一个人都多一点微笑,少一点忧愁。
