The maple smoke of autumn bonfires is incense to Canadians. Bestowing
perfume for the nose, color for the eye, sweetness for the spring tongue, the
sugar maple prompts this sharing of a favorite myth and original etymology of
the word maple. (2) The maple looms large in Ojibwa folk tales.
The time of year for sugaring-off is "in the Maple Moon." Among Ojibwa, the
primordial female figure is Nokomis, a wise grandmother. (3) 41.
__________. (4) Knowing this was a pursuit to the death, Nokomis
outsmarted the cold devils. She hid in a stand of maple trees, all red and
orange and deep yellow. This maple grove grew beside a waterfall whose mist
blurred the trees' outline. As they peered through the mist, slavering wendigos
thought they saw a raging fire in which their prey was burning.
(5)42. __________. (6) For their service in saving the
earth mother's life, these maples were given a special gift: their water of life
would be forever sweet, and Canadians would tap it for nourishment.
(7)43. __________. (8) The contention that maple syrup is
unique to North America is suspect, I believe. China has close to 10 species of
maple, more than any country in the world. Canada has 10 native species. North
America does happen to be home to the sugar maple, the species that produces the
sweetest sap and the most abundant flow. (9) But are we to
believe that in thousands of years of Chinese history, these inventive people
never tapped a maple to taste its sap? I speculate that they did.
(10)44. __________. (11) What is certain is the maple's
holdfast on our national imagination. Is leaf was adopted as an emblem in
New France as early as 1700, and in English Canada by the mid-19th century. In
the fall of 1867, a Toronto schoolteacher named Alexander Muir was traipsing at
street a the city, all squelchy underfoot from the soft felt of falling leaves,
when a maple leaf alighted to his coat sleeve and stuck there.
(12) The word "maple" is from "mapeltreow", the Old English term for maple
tree, with "mapl"--as its Proto-Germanic root, a compound in which the first "m"
--is, I believe, the nearly worldwide "ma", one of the first human sounds, the
pursing of a baby's lips as it prepares to suck milk from mother's breast.
The "ma" root gives rise in many world languages to thousands of words
like "mama", "mammary", "maia", and "Amazon." Here it would make "map!-" mean
"nourishing mother tree," that is, tree whose maple sap in nourishing.
(13)45. __________. [A] The second part of the compound,
"apl-", is a variant of Indo-European able "fruit of any tree" and the origin of
another English fruit word, apple. So the primitive analogy compares the
liquid sap with another nourishing liquid, mother's milk. [B] In
one tale about seasonal change, cannibal wendigos-creatures of evil-chased
through the autumn countryside old Nokomis, who was a symbol for female
fertility. Wendigos throve in icy cold. When they entered the bodies of
humans, the human heart froze solid. [C] Here wendigos represent
oncoming winter. They were hunting to kill and eat poor Nokomis, the warm
embodiment of female fecundity who, like the summer, has grown
old. [D] Could Proto-Americas who crossed the Bering land bridge
to populate the Americas have brought with them a knowledge of maple syrup? Is
there a very old Chinese phrase for maple syrup? Is maple syrup mentioned in
Chinese literature? For a non-reader of Chinese, such questions are daunting but
not impossible to answer. [E] Maple and its syrup flow sweetly
into Canadian humor. Quebeckers have developed a special love for such a
nutriment. [F] After it resisted several brushings-off, Muir
'joked to his walking companion that this would be "the maple leaf for ever!" At
home that evening, he wrote a poem and set it to music, in celebration of
Canada's Confederation. Muir's song, "The Maple Leaf Forever," was wildly
popular and helped fasten the symbol firmly to Canada. [G] But
it was only old Nokomis' being hidden by the bright red leaves of her friends,
the maples. And so, drooling ice and huffing frost, the wendigos left her and
sought easier prey.

填空题Why don't most people set and achieve personal goals, career goals and business goals? Goal setting is a positive, powerful practice when it ignites enthusiasm and provides clear direction. When practiced poorly, however, goal setting also has a serious downside which can undermine your success. Poor goal setting makes people upset, wastes their time and fosters confusion about where to concentrate actions and energy. How does such a potentially successful practice as goal setting, go wrong, so often? Goal setting, once executed poorly, thoughtlessly, or for the wrong reasons, can have a significant negative impact on both people and your organization business plan. Avoid these five misuses of a potentially positive, powerful practice: goal setting for personal goals, career goals and business goals. 41. Goal Setting Under Intimidation Sometimes intimidation brings driving force which stimulates staff members to go on, but usually it only incurs fears. Organizations often fail to achieve goals and strategic planning targets that are set top down, by executives who lack crucial information and are out of touch with staff challenges. The goals are unrealistic and they fail to consider organization resources and capabilities. Staff members don't believe that the rewards they will receive for goal accomplishment will equal the energy they invest to achieve them. Frequently, managers are intimidated when they fear job loss for failure. 42. Goals Intended to Impress, Not Guide Efforts William Hamilton says, "'During the roaring, crazy days of the dot. corn nineties, using goals to impress was commonplace, although organizations also utilized this technique long before the Internet arrived, in this process, management creates goals based on the desire to impress or mislead outside groups. " According to Hamilton, this process is, "also used to avoid serious analysis of the company and the marketplace. At the end of the time period, these goals can then be used by senior management to pass the buck and the blame for the failure to meet the goals. The first part of this article emphasized several problems with how organizations set goals. Additional potential problems with setting personal goals, career goals and business goals include the following. 43. Can't See Beyond One's Nose In an effort to meet the current period's goals, the long-term viability of the organization is put at risk. 44. Goal Setting Becomes About the Plan, Not the Execution Hamilton says a potential serious downside occurs when "the ratio of energy, time and creativity that goes into creating the goal outstrips (and comes out of the hide) of actually managing the product. " 45. Too Many Goals Make Nothing a Priority In my work with small and mid-sized manufacturing companies, I often find that people wear so many hats, they are overwhelmed with the sheer number of goals they are expected to meet. They don't know what is most important to accomplish next. In conclusion, goal setting is a positive, powerful, business practice when it tells your staff where you are going. Effective goal setting also demonstrates what success will look like during the journey and upon arrival. When practiced poorly, however, goal setting can negatively impact your organization in all the ways described, and more.[A] Such as: take a big dream, like "I want to be famous", and break it down into more steps, like "! want to star in a science fiction movie", "I want to go to three auditions a week", "I want to move to L. A. " and "I want to save $5000 so I can move".[B] Such as: use expensive promotions that actually generate less in sales than they cost or push expenses into the future, rather than accounting for them when incurred.[C] To internal staff members, who were often unconvinced and unmoved by the unrealistic, "' show goals", senior management's actions produced serious morale and competency-questioning issues. To staff members who bought into the euphoria, failure to achieve the goals was a deadly downward spiral.[D] A former Siebel Systems executive says, "My nightmare goal setting story of all time was how Siebel set sales goals for its District Managers: everyone's quota was $ 3. 5 million. There, no more thought needed to go into it, no discussion--just do it or you're fired ! So the District Manager calling on Citibank had the same quota as the District Manager calling on the States of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. As a result no one succeeded.[E] In one small manufacturing company, a management group decided to use Gantt charts to track goal accomplishment. After starting with a huge investment of time in making the charts for all of their goals, the management group soon abandoned the charting. When questioned later, they affirmed that the charting was taking too much of the time they needed to accomplish the goals.[F] I once facilitated a strategic planning session during which people analyzed and established priorities. They moved non-priority items to a "B" list and believed they had successfully created an "A" list of the most important, achievable goals. You can imagine my consternation when, at the end of the session, the senior manager looked at the list of goals on the "B" list and said, "These are all givens. We have to accomplish these anyway. "

填空题Translate the following passage into Chinese.(两南财经大学2007研,考试科目:翻译与写作)Populations increase and decrease relatively not only to one another, but also to natural resources. In most parts of the world, the relation between population and resources is already unfavorable and will probably become even more unfavorable in the future. This growing poverty in the midst of growing poverty constitutes a permanent menace not only to peace but also to democratic institutions and personal liberty, for over-population is not compatible with freedom. An unfavorable relationship between numbers and resources tends to make the earning of a living almost intolerably difficult. Labor is more abundant than goods and the individual is compelled to work long hours for little pay. No surplus of accumulated purchasing power stands between him and the tyrannies of unfriendly nature or of the equally unfriendly wielders of political and economic power. Democracy is, among other things, the ability to say "no" to the boss. But a man cannot say "no" to the boss, unless he is sure of being able to eat when the boss"s favor has been withdrawn. He can not be certain of his next meal unless he owns the means of producing enough wealth for his family to live on, or has been able to accumulate a surplus out of past wages, or has a chance of moving to virgin territories, where he can make a fresh start. In an overcrowded country, very few people own enough to make them financially independent, very few are in a position to accumulate purchasing power, and there is no free land. Moreover, in any country where population presses hard upon natural resources, the general economic situation is apt to be so precarious that government control of capital and labor, production and consumption becomes inevitable. It is no accident that the twentieth century should be the century of highly centralized government and totalitarian dictatorships. It had to be so for the simple reason that the twentieth century is the century of planetary overcrowding.
