问答题With another dramatic fireworks display Sunday evening at the National Stadium here, the Beijing Olympics came to a dazzling close, ending two weeks of spectacular athletic performances during an Olympic competition. Unlike in the opening ceremony, with its orderly parade of countries and their athletes, the closing ceremony brought flag bearers congregating in the middle, and athletes filing in somewhat haphazardly and many dressed less formally. Beijing had staked everything on the Games, galvanizing the nation, spending billions to rebuild the ancient capital, erecting fantastic stadiums and producing the kind of opening and closing ceremonies that can only be created in China, with tens of thousands of performers dazzling a global television audience the vibrant displays of color and mass synchronization. The 29th Olympiad was supposed to be China's coming out party, a show of its rising economic and political power and its reemergence as a global power. And in many ways it was. But the Games also turned into a dramatic show of this country's athletic power, with China hauling in 51 gold medals, enough to top the gold medal tables and unseat the United States, which won 36.

问答题Symbols may also be ordinary, useful goods that have acquired special meaning. Certain cars indicate wealth; others may express youth, daring, power, or involvement in a lifestyle for their owners. In other cultures, a cow or pig of a particular color and confirmation can evoke similar feelings. The same object, even when used for the same purpose, may mean quite different things across cultures. For example, both Americans and Vietnamese bury their dead in coffins, and both may invest a great deal of money in coffins. But those Vietnamese who can afford to purchase a coffin long before an elderly person dies do so and put it on display -- much to that person's delight. The Vietnamese honor departed relatives on "death days" (the day a relative died) in much the same way Americans celebrate birthdays -- by inviting the family, preparing an elaborate meal, decorating the house, lighting candles, and toasting the person who is the center of the event.

问答题Britain's Cabinet Office released a sweeping report on the country's food policy, and determined that Britons are wasting too much food. A third of the food bought for home consumption is wasted— 6.7 million tonnes. Most of this could have been eaten. Wasting food costs the average UK family ￡420 a year. Eliminating the unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions that this wasted food produces would be equivalent to taking one in five cars off UK roads. By using 60 percent of food thrown away by households, enough energy could be generated to provide power for all the homes in Glasgow and Edinburgh. This waste is adding to the rise in food prices, the report said, in a world where food output must rise dramatically. The report notes that, according to a report by the World Bank, cereal production needs to increase by 50 percent and meat production 80 percent between 2000 and 2030 to meet global demand. The report noted that food waste contributes to greenhouse emissions, partly because rotting food in landfills generates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. The report also said that, because of problems with storage or distribution, as much as 40 percent of food harvested in the developing world is wasted before it reaches the plate． In the foreword to the report，Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that food waste is a global problem． Recent food price rises are a powerful reminder that access to ever more affordable food cannot be taken for granted，and it is the family finances of the poorest in our society that are hit hardest when food prices increase．But the principal food security challenge for the UK is a global one．We cannot deal with higher food prices in the UK in isolation from higher prices around the world—attempting to pursue national food security in isolation from the global context is unlikely to be practicable，sustainable or financially rational． Americans do not seem to be doing much better at conserving food than their counterparts across the Atlantic．Last month，The New York Times cited a 1997 study from the US Department of Agriculture that found that Americans discard an estimated 27 percent of the food available for consumption，about a pound per day per person.

问答题Nowadays, we hear a lot about the growing threat of globalization, accompanied by those warnings that the rich pattern of local life is being undermined, and many dialects and traditions are becoming extinct. But stop and think for a moment about the many positive aspects that globalization is bringing. Read on and you are bound to feel comforted, ready to face the global future, which is surely inevitable now. Consider the Internet, that prime example of our shrinking world. Leaving aside the all—to familiar worries about pornography and political extremism, even the most narrow—minded must admit that the net offers immeasurable benefits, not just in terms of education, the sector for which it was originally designed, but more importantly on a global level, the spread of news and comment. It will be increasingly difficult for politicians to maintain their regimes of misinformation, as the oppressed will not only find support and comfort, but also be able to organize themselves more effectively.

问答题Climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity: drastic reduction of carbon emissions is vital if we are to avoid a catastrophe that devastates large parts of the world. Governments and businesses have been slow to act and individuals now need to take the lead. The Earth can absorb no more than 3 tones of carbon dioxide emissions each year for every person on the planet if we are to keep temperature and rainfall change within tolerable limits. Yet from cars and holiday flights to household appliances and the food on our plates, Western consumer lifestyles leave each of us responsible for over 12 tones of carbon dioxide a year——four times what the Earth can handle. Individual action is essential if we want to avoid climate chaos. How to Live a Low-Carbon Life shows how easy it is to take responsibility, providing the first comprehensive, one-stop reference guide to calculating your CO 2 emissions and reducing them to a sustainable 3 tones a year.

问答题1I was six years old when, one day, my dog was struck, by a car while getting ready for school. 2My mother and I heard the terrifying sound of squealing brakes. 3In a low voice, she said, Oh, my God—Blackie. 4I remember trailing her out the door and seeing a car fill with teenagers and a spreading pool of bright blood on our cobblestoned street. 5To me, it seemed only a matter of seconds until a police car pulled up. 6The officer glanced at the crumpled dog under the car. 7And drew his gun. 8My mother shouted, "No!" 9She crawled halfway under the car and took the dog, like a sack of flour, out from under the wheels, 10Her housedress was splashed with blood, she cradled the limp dog in her arms and ordered the officers to drive her to the vets office, 11It was only then that she remembered me, I think. 12She patted my head, was telling me to walk up to school, and reassured me that Blackie would be all right. 13The rest of the story including Blackie's slow recovery and few more years of life, are fuzzy and vague now. 14But the sights and sounds of those few moments are as vivid to me now as they were twenty-five years ago.

问答题Storytelling isn"t just for old folks and kids. It can help you move forward in your career—both by showing what you"ve accomplished and by persuading employees to trust you. Stories can also aid hiring, says John Berisford, head of human resources at Pepsi Beverages. "I often ask one question, whether I"m interviewing a senior-level executive or a campus person. Tell me your story," said Berisford, who learned storytelling from his grandmother in West Virginia. "It"s the best way to get to know the entire human being." To instantly grasp the impact of a good yarn, think of bestselling books such as Fish! and Who Moved My Cheese ? The ones that work are instantly memorable and forge emotional connections, says Katharine Hansen, Ph.D., co-owner of the Quintessential Careers website. But that doesn"t mean storytelling is right for every situation. "It can backfire if the teller is trying to build enthusiasm yet doesn"t feel it", says Simmons. Choosing the right story for your audience is crucial, as is editing it to be clear and concise. It also helps to be accurate; at a time when authenticity is scarce, no one wants to hear a tall tale.

问答题Many changes in the world of business may seem surprising if we are completely blind to the future. But experts say we can see, at least part of it from where we stand. Using chaos theory to understand the interconnectedness of the world—think of the "butterfly effect" —will help us recognize the causes of certain "chance happenings" and be better prepared to cope with them. Take Asia's financial crisis. In the past, companies would have said it was just another random event. "The truth is, many of these seemingly random events can affect their business," says Sanders. Given the interconnectedness of the global economy, Sanders says, it's more important than ever that companies be aware of emerging issues and quickly determine how to respond. But to do so, they need an organic and evolving approach to planning. The old planning model focused on "forecasting" one or a few possible paths of events, while a revolutionary paradigm called "foresighting" allows one to master the situation no matter how the future turns out. According to Sanders, understanding the present is the primary step in gaining insight into the future.
