填空题E-C Translation．(上海交通大学2005研，考试科目：英语水平考试)Defining the meaning of "happiness" is a perplexing proposition: the best one can do is to try to set some extremes to the idea and then work towards the middle. To think of happiness as achieving superiority over others, living in a mansion made of marble, having a wardrobe with hundreds of outfits, will do to set the greedy extreme. To think of happiness as the joy of a holy man of India will do to set the spiritual extreme. He sits completely still, contemplating the nature of reality, free even of his own body. If admirers bring him food, he eats it: if not, he starves. Why be concerned? What is physical is trivial to him. To contemplate is his joy and he achieves complete mental focus through an incredibly demanding discipline, the accomplishment of which is itself a joy to him.Is he a happy man? Perhaps his happiness is only another sort of illusion. But who can take it from him? And who will dare say it is more false than happiness paid for through an installment plan?Although the holy man"s concept of happiness may enjoy considerable prestige in the Orient, I doubt the existence of such motionless happiness. What is certain is that his way of happiness would be torture to almost anyone of Western temperament. Yet these extremes will still serve to define the area within which all of us must find some sort of balance. Thoreau had his own firm sense of that balance: save on the petty in order to spend on the essential.

填空题A. Monitor your alcohol use B. Pay attention to table manners C. Don"t be a gossip D. Network with higher-ups E. Keep the conversation light F. Dress appropriately G. Make new friends For young workers, holiday parties can be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a successful. year gone by, catch up with colleagues and hobnob with senior executives to try to get ahead. But a host of challenges confront young employees—from figuring out whom to bring to walking the fine line between being friendly and being flirty. Some do"s and don "ts when it comes to these events: 1 If you"re new to the company, talk to co-workers who have attended previous office functions to get a sense of what you should wear. Dress conservatively, not "like you"re going to a club in Vegas," says Tom Gimbel, CEO of staffing firm LaSalle Network in Chicago. But, he adds, don"t take it "to the point where (you"re) wearing a suit where everybody else is wearing jeans." 2 Steer clear of talking about those layoffs or pay freezes that have hit morale, experts advise. "Try to keep the conversation upbeat," says Barbara Pachter, president of Pachter & Associates, a business-etiquette and communications firm in Cherry Hill, N.J. "If you"re merging, that could be an exciting thing, (or if) you"re adding new product lines, that could be an exciting thing" to talk about. 3 While it"s fun to indulge in rumors about colleagues, you don"t want to be known as the person who"s always spreading juicy gossip. "You want to be known for your work ethic, you want to be known for the work product that you put out, and at a holiday party, you don"t want to be the one telling everybody who"s making out with whom and who"s fighting with whom," says Mr. Gimbel. Instead, he encourages people to stick to safe topics like sports, entertainment and what"s going on in the world. 4 Even if you"re intimidated by the clique of VPs huddling in their own circle, don"t pass up the opportunity to meet these people, who could be interviewing you when you"re up for your next promotion. Look for an opening to chime in on a topic that you know about. If they don"t already know you, introduce yourself and say how long you"ve been with the company and what you do. Afterward, if you feel like you connected with someone senior, send them a follow-up email saying it was nice to meet them, says Ms. Pachter. "What have you got to lose?" 5 Holiday parties are one of the few workplace events where imbibing is allowed and even encouraged to get people relaxed. However, just because alcohol is free-flowing at the bar doesn"t mean you should take that as a license to reprise your college frat parties. "Most people head toward the bar and the buffet when they get to a holiday party, and if they drink on an empty stomach they tend to get inebriated and then they could say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing," says Ms. Whitmore. "No. 1 rule is: Don"t drink too much, monitor your alcohol intake. Usually, one or two drinks is plenty."

填空题Translate the following passage into Chinese．Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET．(天津外国语大学2011研，考试科目：英语语言文学)If Europe has had a complex mythological function for America, America has also—less complicatedly—had its function for Europe, as the land of newness, roughness, wealth, violence, and improbability. Americans themselves have been fascinated by this picture of their character. But they have also been a little touchy about it. As many critics have noted, there has been a split in American writing between a cultivated, Europeanized concept of literature, and a notion of a native literature. One critic has christened the two types of authors" palefaces" and" redskins" , taking Henry James and Walt Whitman as representative figures. This is one useful simplification for the English reader to bear in mind. Another common and useful(though not identical)division is between those authors like Emerson and Whitman who reveal the millennial optimism mentioned above, and those other—Hawthorne, Melville, Henry James—who are skeptical of their compatriots" confidence in moral progress. Both these distinctions are theoretical extremes no one author in America has fully exemplified either of them.
