Thomas Hardy"s impulses as a writer, all of which he indulged in his novels, were numerous and divergent, and they did not always work together in harmony.
Hardy was to some degree interested in exploring his characters" psychologies, though impelled less by curiosity than by sympathy. Occasionally he felt the impulse to comedy (in all its detached coldness) as well as the impulse to farce, but he was more often inclined to see tragedy and record it. He was also inclined to literary realism in the several senses of that phrase. He wanted to describe ordinary human beings; he wanted to speculate on their dilemmas rationally (and, unfortunately, even schematically); and he wanted to record precisely the material universe. Finally, he wanted to be more than a realist. 47)
He wanted to transcend what he considered to be the banality of solely recording things exactly and to express as well his awareness of the occult and the strange.
In his novels these various impulses were sacrificed to each other inevitably and often. Inevitably, because Hardy did not care in the way that novelists such as Flaubert or James cared, and therefore took paths of least resistance. Thus, one impulse often surrendered to a fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of exacting a compromise, simply disappeared. 48)
A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower.
In this instance, the new impulse was at least an energetic one, and thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed style. 49)
But on other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly energizing impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly.
When a relaxing impulse was indulged, the style—that sure index of an author"s literary worth—was certain to become verbose. Hardy"s weakness derived from his apparent inability to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energetic and risky ones. He submitted to first one and then another, and the spirit blew where it listed; hence the unevenness of any one of his novels. 50)
His most controlled novel, Under the Greenwood Tree, prominently exhibits two different but reconcilable impulse—a desire to be a realist-historian and a desire to be a psychologist of love—but the slight interlockings of plot are not enough to bind the two completely together.
Thus even this book splits into two distinct parts.

2
. In the end, women voters ask themselves two core questions when deciding whom to support for president: "Do I like that person?" and "Is that person like me?" The first question is the classic "living room" test. The second is a more complex inquiry that probes whether women believe a candidate cars about, values, confronts, and feats he same things they do.
Party loyalty trumps gender, as indicated by a July 2007 Newsweek survey, which found that 88 percent of men and 85 percent of women say that if their party nominated a woman candidate that they would vote for her if she were qualified for the job.

填空题English into Chinese Translation.(外交学院2007研,考试科目:翻译)The new environmental health problems are multiple-created by radiation in all its forms, born of the never-ending stream of chemicals of which pesticides are a part, chemicals now pervading the world in which we live, acting upon us directly and indirectly, separately and collectively. Their presence casts a shadow that is no less ominous because it is formless and obscure, no less frightening because it is simply impossible to predict the effects of lifetime exposure to chemical and physical agents that are not part of the biological experience of man." We all live under the haunting fear that something may corrupt the environment to the point where man joins the dinosaurs as an obsolete form of life, "says Dr. David Price of the United States Public Health Service. "And what makes these thoughts all the more disturbing is the knowledge that our fate could perhaps be sealed twenty or more years before the development of symptoms. "Where do pesticides fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now contaminate soil, water and food, that they have the power to make our streams Ashless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however, much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world?We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can precipitate acute poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, spraymen, pilots, and others exposed to appreciable quantities of pesticides are tragic and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly contaminate our world.Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative over long periods of time, and that are hazard to the individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shrug off what may seem to us a vague threat of future disaster. " Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious manifestations, "says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, yet some of their worst enemies creep on them unobtrusively.
