Among the celebrated pantheon of Holly wood royalty, few are
as well-respected and universally adored as Gregory Peck. For more than fifty
years, he has been a major presence in the theater, on television, and most
importantly, on the big screen. (41) ______ As General MacArthur,
Melville's Captain Ahab, and Atticus Finch, he has presented audiences with
compelling stories of strength and masculinity. Eldred Gregory
Peck was born on April 5, 1916 in La Jolla, California. By the time he was six,
his parents had divorced. For a number of years he lived with his maternal
grandmother, but at the age of ten was' sent to St. John' s Military Academy in
Los Angeles. The four years he spent there were important in forming his sense
of personal discipline. After the Academy, he returned to live with his father,
a local pharmacist, and to attend public high school.
(42)______. There, his abilities were almost immediately recognized. In
1942, Peck made his debut on Broadway with The Morning Star. Though many of his
early plays were doomed to short runs, it seemed clear that Peck was destined
for something bigger. In 1944 that "something bigger" arrived in the form of his
first twoHollywood roles, as Vladimir in Days of Glory and Father Francis
Chisholm in The Keys of the Kingdom. (43)______. This early
success provided him the rare opportunity of working with the best directors in
Hollywood. Over the next three years he appeared in Alfred Hitchcock' s
Spellbound (1945), King Vidor' s Duel in the Sun (1946), and Etia Kazan's
Gentleman's Agreement (1947). Despite concerns over public acceptance of the
last one, a meditation on American anti-Semitism, it surprised many by winning
an Oscar for Best Picture and a nomination for Best Actor. This success seemed
not only a validation of Peck's abilities as an artist but of his moral
convictions as well. (44)______. Tough and caring, he was the
quintessential mid- century American man—the good-looking romantic lead across
from Audrey Hepburn as well as the rugged World War 1I bomber commander. For
many, the actor and the characters he portrayed were inseparable; the authority
of his passionate yet firm demeanor was attractive to post-war Americans who
longed for a more stable time. (45)______. While
continuing to act on television and in Hollywood throughout the 19805 and 19905,
Peck has focused much of his energy on spending time with his wife, children,
and grandchildren. For Peck, life as a father and as a public figure have been
inseparable; he was simultaneously a major voice against the Vietnam war, while
remaining a patriotic supporter of bis son who was fighting there. If years of
breathing life into characters such as Captain Keith Mallory and General
MacArthur taught him anything, it was that life during wartime was profoundly
complex; and rarely bas there been a time free from war or struggle. In his more
than fifty films, Peck has continually attempted to investigate these complex
struggles, and in doing so has created a library of stories that shed light on
human possibility and social reality.[A] Though an amiable and fun-loving
man at home, Peck' s stern presence made him one of the screen' s great
patriarchs.[B] For many, Peck is a symbol of the American man at his best—a
pillar of moral courage and a constant defender of traditional values.[C]
During the 19605 and 19705, Peck continued to challenge himself as an actor,
appearing in thrillers, war films, westerns and in bis best known film, To Kill
A Mockingbird (1962). Based on the book by Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird
addresses problems of racism and noral justice in personal and powerful ways. As
Atticns Finch, a lawyer in a small Southern town, Peck created a character that
remains a great example of an individual' s struggle for humanity within deeply
inhumane conditions. It seems clear however, that the reason for Peck's constant
assertion that To Kill A Mockingbird is his best ( and favorite) fihn, was the
film' s attention to the lives of children and the importance of family.[D]
Gregory Peck passed away on June 12th, 2003, at the age of 87.[E] While Days
of Glory was coolly received, his role as the taciturn Scottish missionary in
The Keys of the Kingdom was a resounding triumph and brought him his first Os-
car nomination for Best Actor.[F] After graduating, Peck enrolled at the
University of California, Berkeley. Greatly influenced by his father's desires
for him to be a doctor, Peck began as a premed student. By the time he was a
senior, however, he found his real interests to be in writing and acting. Peek
soon realized that he had a natural gift as both an expressive actor and a
storyteller. After graduating in 1939, he changed his name from E1dred to
Gregory and moved to New York.[G] At 85, Peck turned his attention back to
where he got his start, the stage. He traveled the country visiting small
play houses and colleges, speaking about his life and experiences as a father, a
celebrity, and as an actor.

In brand-new offices with a still-empty game room and enough
space to triple their staff of nearly 30, a trio of entrepreneurs is leading an
Internet start-up with an improbable mission: to out-Google Google. The three
started Powerset, a company whose aim is to deliver better answers than any
other search engine—including Google—by letting users type questions in plain
English. And they have made believers of Silicon Valley investors whose fortunes
turn on identifying the next big thing. Powerset is hardly
alone.{{U}} (41) {{/U}}. And Wikia Inc, a company started by a founder
of Wikipedia, plans to develop a search engine that. like the popular Web-based
encyclopedia, would be built by a community of programmers and users.{{U}}
(42) {{/U}}. It also shows how much the new Internet economy resembles a
planetary system where everything and everyone orbits around search in general,
and around Google in particular. Silicon Valley is filled with
start-ups whose main business proposition is to be bought by Google, or for that
matter by Yahoo or Microsoft. Countless other start-ups rely on Google as their
primary driver of traffic or on Google's powerful advertising system as their
primary source of income. Virtually all new companies compote with Google for
scarce engineering talent.{{U}} (43) {{/U}} "There is
way too much obsession with search, as if it were the end of the world." said
Esther Dyson, a well-known technology investor and forecaster. "Google equals
money equals search equals search advertising; it all gets combined as if this
is the last great business model." It may not be the last great business model,
but Google has proved that search linked to ,advertising is a very large and
lucrative business, and everyone—including Ms. Dyson, who invested a small sum
in Powerset—seems to want a piece of it. Since the beginning of
2004, venture capitalists have put nearly $350 million into no fewer than 79
start-ups that had something to do with Internet search, according to the
National Venture Capital Association, an industry group. {{U}}
(44) {{/U}}Since Google's stated mission is to organize all of the
world's information, they may still find themselves in the search giant's cross
hairs. That is not necessarily bad, as being acquired by Google could be a
financial bonanza for some of these entrepreneurs and investors.
{{U}} (45) {{/U}}. Powerset recently received $12.5 million in
financing. Hakia, which like Powerset is trying to create a "natural language"
search engine, got $16 million. Another $16 million went to Snap, which has
focused on presenting search results in a more compelling way and is
experimenting with a new advertising model. And ChaCha. which uses paid
researchers that act as virtual reference librarians to provide answers to
users' queries. got $6.1 million. Still, recent history suggests
that gaining traction is going to be difficult. Of dozens of search start-ups
that were introduced in recent years, none had more than a 1 percent share of
the United States search market in November. according to Nielsen NetRatings, a
research firm that measures Internet traffic.[A] Powerset could possibly
steal a lead if it improves search results by a significant measure with natural
language and simultaneously incorporates a near-equivalent to Google's existing
capabilities.[B] Even as Google continues to outmaneuver its main search
rivals, Yahoo and Microsoft, plenty of newcomers—with names like hakia, ChaCha
and Snap--are trying to beat the company at its own game.[C] These ambitious
quests reflect the renewed optimism sweeping technology centers like Silicon
Valley and fueling a nascent Internet boom.[D] But in the current boom,
there is money even for those with the audacious goal of becoming a better
GooSe.[E] And divining Google's next move has become a fixation for scores
of technology blogs and a favorite parlor game among technology
investors.[F] An overwhelming majority are not trying to take Google head
on, but rather are focusing on specialized slices of the search world, like
searching for videos, blog postings or medical information.[G] The venture
capitalists made the investment based on an assumption that Powerset would
complete the licensing deal,

填空题[ E-Government/strong] [电子政务管理/strong] By definition, e-government is simply the use of information and communications technology, such as the Internet, to improve the processes of government. Thus, e- government is in principle nothing new. Governments were among the first users of computers. But the global proliferation of the Internet, which effectively integrates information and communications technology on the basis of open standards, combined with the movement to reform public administration known as New Public Management, has for good reason generated a new wave of interest in the topic. E-government promises to make government more efficient, responsive, transparent and legitimate and is also creating a rapidly growing market of goods and services, with a variety of new business opportunities. To some, e-government might seem to be little more than an effort to expand the market of e-commerce from business to government[1]. Surely there is some truth in this. E-commerce is marketing and sales via the Internet. Since governmental institutions take part in marketing and sales activities, both as buyers and sellers, it is not inconsistent to speak of e-government applications of e-commerce. Governments do after all conduct business[2]. But e-commerce is not at the heart of e-government. The core task of government is governance, the job of regulating society, not marketing and sales. In modern democracies, responsibility and power for regulation is divided up and shared among the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government[3]. Simplifying somewhat, the legislature is responsible for making policy in the form of laws, the executive for implementing the policy and law enforcement, and the judiciary for resolving legal conflicts. E-government is about, improving the work of all of these branches of government, not just public administration in the narrow sense. New Public Management is a kind of management theory about how to reform government by replacing rigid hierarchical organizational structures[4] with more dynamic networks of small organizational units; replacing authoritarian, top-down decision and policy-making practices with a more consensual, bottom-up approach which facilitates the participation of as many stakeholders as possible, especially ordinary citizens; adopting a more customer-oriented attitude to public services; and applying market principles to enhance efficiency and productivity. E-government gives New Public Management fresh blood. Not only does information and communications technology[5] provide the infrastructure and software tools needed for a loosely coupled network of governmental units to collaborate effectively, the infiltration of this technology into government agencies tends to lead naturally to institutional reform, since it is difficult to maintain strictly hierarchical channels of communication and control when every civil servant can collaborate efficiently and directly with anyone else via the Internet. Orthogonal to the division of power among the branches of government is the hierarchical organization of supranational (e. g. European), national, regional and local governments bounded by geographical territory. Information and communications technology creates a new accessibility, overcoming temporal, geographical and organizational boundaries. Thus e-government can facilitate new forms of collaboration among governments which cut across and diminish such boundaries. The EuroCities project is an example. Perhaps in the long term e-government will help to strengthen the identification of citizens within Europe. E-government is not only or even primarily about reforming the work processes within and among governmental institutions, but is rather about improving its services to and collaboration with citizens, the business and professional community, and nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations[6] such as associations, trade unions, political parties, churches, and public interest groups[7]. Using World Wide Web[8] portals[9] to create one-stop shops[10] is one currently popular egovernment approach to improving the delivery of public services to citizens. The basic idea of these portals is to provide a single, convenient place to take care of all the steps of a complex administrative process involving multiple government offices, bringing the services of these offices to the citizen instead of requiring the citizen to run from office to office. Web portals can deliver government services with various levels of interaction. Three levels are usually identified: information, communication, and transactions. Information services deliver government information via static web pages and dynamic web pages generated from databases to citizens, tourists, businesses, associations, public administration, and other government users. Communication services use groupwareon3 technology such as e-mail, discussion forums and chat to facilitate dialogue, participation and feedback in planning and policy-making procedures. Transaction services use online forms, workflow and payment systems to allow citizens and business partners to take care of their business with government online. Typical applications of transaction services for citizens include applying for social benefits, registering automobiles, filing changes of address or applying for building permits. For businesses, perhaps the application of greatest current interest is the online procurement of government contracts. Often one reads that these three levels of interaction are ordered by complexity, with transactions being the most complex. Presumably this is because of the apparent and challenging security and business process reengineering issues of online transaction processing. Providing high quality information and communication services, however, is no less challenging. Information services need to evolve into knowledge management services and become adaptive, personalised, proactive and accessible from a broader variety of devices. Communication services need to evolve into collaboration services providing better support for argumentation, negotiation, deliberation and other goal-directed forms of structured discourse. Among the most interesting and challenging sociotechnological issues of e-government are in the area of e—Democracy, which aims to apply information and communication technology to improve the public opinion formation process central to governments primary regulatory function. Here the ambition is to broaden actual public participation, not just the technical possibility, and counter political apathy without denying the poor or poorly educated their civil rights. Together with the trend towards outsourcing[12] tasks and working with industry in private-public partnerships, this is likely to[13] lead to rapid growth of the e-government market and create plentiful business opportunities, also for small and medium-size enterprises. Viewing e-government projects as mainly an investment in public infrastructure is too restricted, since the investment is also aimed at reducing the size and costs of government while accelerating the growth of the e-government market, helping to create new businesses and jobs in the private sector.
