填空题 Tomson: This process of training .in universities, by which the intellect, instead of being formed or sacrificed to some particular of accidental purpose, some specific trade of profession, or study or science, is disciplined for its own sake, for the perception of its own proper object, and for its own highest culture, is called Liberal Education; and though there is no one in whom it is carried as far as is conceivable, or whose intellect would be a pattern of what intellects should be made, yet there is scarcely anyone but may gain an idea of what real training is, and at least look towards it, and make its true scope and result, not something else, his standard of excellence; and numbers there are who may submit themselves to it, and secure it to themselves in good measure. Bradly: It is only understandable that parents long to see their sons and daughters with promising futures, as most students today are from single-child families. However, this eagerness can backfire if parents fail to educate their children with scientific approaches and concepts. Cases of failure in this regard survey indicates that due to lack of guidance from sound educational theory, many parents in this country are at a loss over what to do with. their children's education. Many put high test scores first in family education, and know little about the need to build all-round character in their children. Fredrick: When our children's school life is weighed down with bulging schoolbags and psychological pressure, how can they lake initiative? They can be emancipated only when schools and society alike begin doing something about these pressures on them. Parents should change their ways of thinking. Educating children is a science as well as an art, and is doomed if the natural laws governing children's healthy physical and mental development are violated. That is why parents should know something about education and psychology, as well as the features, standards and trends of modern education. In this regard they need the help of educators. Arusa: Public opinion plays a major role in the process of advancing character education. It provides an appropriate guide for students, parents and the public to reach a consensus on the concepts of education, and helps foster a good environment for securing public concern and support for and involvement in character education. And we hope our writers, artists and education researchers will do their part for carrying forward character education from their respective fields of work, all for the same purpose: to bring forth worthy successors to our cause. To this end the entire society is duty-bound. Jonnason: The efforts to carry out character education call for comprehensive changes in orientation, functions, institution; content and approaches. They call for sweeping changes in our understanding of values, talent and quality of education. It is a restructuring project that is of vital importance and has a far-reaching influence on the overall situation, involving people from all walks of life. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Social reforms and fundamental changes are called for when character education is to be carried out.[B] Some parents are not able to educate their children with proper methods because their own opinions on education are questionable.[C] The business of a university is to help all students towards the right standard according to their various capacities.[D] Rational reports on newspapers or TV programs can help promote the quality of education.[E] Parents need the help from educators.[F]Parents are blamed if their children do not perform well at school.[G] It's doubtful whether there is a link between liberal education and science education.

She"s absolutely adorable. I think she"s very pretty, she makes me laugh a lot, um... she tells terrible jokes but I like the way she tells them. She"s a bit naughty sometimes and I curse her when she gets me up at six o"clock in the morning, but when I hear her singing in the morning, well, all is forgiven. She can twist me round her little finger, of course.
Terry
Well, he"s quite well-dressed and punctual. Sometimes he"s cheerful and tells us jokes, but other times we have to do a lot of work. We don"t really know him very well. Oh, I know he"s married, but I"ve never met him socially or anything like that. He seems very professional.
Angel
I"ve never actually spoken to him. Mumm, I see him everyday, of course, as he leaves his car and gets in the lift to his office on the top floor. He"s always terribly well-dressed, and he must wear expensive after-shave because you can still smell it ten minutes after he"s gone.
Cherry
People are generally very nice, but well, there are some difficult ones. They shout at you for walking on the garden, or for not shutting the gate, or because you have shut the gate, or they park their cars so that you can"t actually get to their front door. And of course there are the dogs. I prefer dogs, the ones, but.., when there"s one going for me I"m terrified of them.

He was very boring and predictable. The kind of person who remembered birthdays and anniversaries, but who made you angry because there was absolutely nothing spontaneous about him.

article in which several people expressed their different opinions on the same
issue. Please match the name of each person to one of the statements given
below. Douglas
Spensor I want the maximum amount of compensation from
the new supermarket owners for both loss of business and inconvenience of
moving. As the most recent of the tenants in these shops, I would like to say I
feel it is very unfair to calculate compensation based on length of time in
residence. I think it should be on the amount of goods sold day by day in shop.
I get more than the tobacco and magazine vendor although they have dealt in this
supermarket for over fifteen years. My goods are more expensive. Besides, my
business is excellent and I have just employed five assistants.
Sony Herry I want the maximum amount of
compensation to be paid to all shop owners. The formula for the compensation can
be worked out in detail later, but I want a deal that will give me the most
amount of money as my business, not very big, is sufficient to support my wife
and 12 year old son. And I have planned to retire soon anyway for I have worked
here for more than 15 years. I hope we will make an agreement among all the shop
owners not to accept employment in the new supermarket unless they pay us enough
compensation. I insist that all my colleagues stick to this agreement.
Maltese Brown I feel I have the
greatest amount of money to lose than any of the other shop owners as I have
recently spent a large amount of money on new valuable stock which I need to
sell. I don't want any compensation at all. I simply want the landlord to be
honorable and to allow us to renew our tenancy agreements. I have made an
agreement with the other shop owners not to accept employment in the new
supermarket if it is offered, unless all the shop owners can work
there. Tom Clouse Something
should be done about this situation. The reputation of the business is most
important. Many people come to my salon regularly only because I am the best
hairdresser here. My business has been very successful over the last five years.
But if I close up my shop during the decoration, I will lose many of my
customers. When considering the compensation, we should take into account of the
factor of reputation. Durante Li
I do not want the market to close. The majority of my customers live near
the market and it would be very difficult for them to travel to the other side
of this district for meat. And the store of my goods is very expensive. I need
fridges, even icehouses. The compensation should cover all the costs, otherwise,
I wouldn't move out. Now match each of the persons with the
appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements A. Capital is the main
factor. B. Residence is most important. C. I
don't want to close up my shop. D. As for me the compensation

填空题 Greg Louganis: These were the trials for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. Until this dive, I had been ahead. But now, something else was more significant than winning. I might have endangered other divers' lives if I have spilled blood in the pool. For what I knew—that few others knew—was that I was HIV-positive. AIDS forced me to stop diving; I had to quit diving professionally after the Olympics. Margaret Chart: It is reported that almost three million people in developing countries are now receiving drugs for HIV. This is an increase of almost one million people from two thousand and six. Still, the hope was to reach three million by two thousand and five. But antiretroviral therapy, or ART, alone will not solve the problem. For every two persons we manage to provide them with ART, another five persons get infected. So again, we cannot underestimate the power of prevention. Paula Green: The disease robs the body of its natural defenses against infections. Almost seventy-five percent of people receiving HIV drugs are in Africa. The drugs help patients live longer without developing AIDS. An estimated nine million seven hundred thousand people in low and middle income countries were in need of HIV treatment last year. However, by the end of the year, just over thirty percent of them were getting it. Raymond Chow: Price reductions can be a main method to let more people with HIV, including more pregnant women, receive the drugs. Also, delivery systems should be redesigned to better serve individual countries and smaller health centers. And treatments should be simpler than in the past. William Wang: Huge barriers still remain in dealing with the AIDS epidemic. Getting patients to stay on their therapy is difficult. There are still large numbers of people who do not get tested for HIV. And there are many others who get tested too late and die within months. What's more, there is not enough joint treatment of HIV and the related infections that most often kill AIDS patients. And still another problem is the shortage of health care workers in the developing world. Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. Statements[A] Some HIV-positive patients don't cooperate with doctors.[B] AID patient's blood may be dangerous to other people's lives.[C] People are scared of AIDS.[D] Treatment is more urgent than prevention.[E] Many people can't get HIV drugs because of poverty.[F] More people get HIV treatment, but even more get infected.[G] HIV drugs should be cheaper.

Public Discussion on Cutting Students' Burden{{B}}Zhou Li (a
parent in Beijing){{/B}} Reduce Students' burden? Who will be
responsible if my child can't go to college? Heroes in major tests are both from
high marks. Many families have only one child, and no parents wish to see their
child fall to receive a higher education. In addition, marks equal cash. Right
now, major middle schools and universities are using a charging system.
One more mark is several hundred yuan less than your parents have to
pay.{{B}}A teacher (Shanghai){{/B}} The admission peak in China
is now shifting from primary schools to high schools and universities, which
will lead to an employment peak. Competition between many people for one post
will not bean uncommon situation. Under these circumstances, those who cut their
burdens will lose at the beginning of the competition. Cultural Revolution's
experience tells today's parents that they should not be fooled. As long as job
opportunities are not secured for everyone, examinations must be
continued.{{B}}Wang Juexuan (director of the Regular Education Institute of
the Shanghai Academy of Education){{/B}} It is necessary to
establish a sound evaluation system first. However, creating a new system is
difficult and will take a long time. Evidence indicates that the biggest
obstacle in cutting workloads comes from parents. High marks mean better
schools, better colleges and, later, better jobs. A 20-score gap can't tell who
is superior when comparing to two students, but in the eyes of parents, the
scores mean that those two children will enter two schools of different grades
and that they therefore will have different futures.{{B}}Wu Changshun
(Principal of the Beijing No. 5 Middle School and CPPCC member){{/B}}
Students' overload reduction cannot be based on one's own wishes. First,
efforts should focus on reducing the amount of homework and psychological
pressure on students. Second, according to the Ministry of Education, the effort
is mainly to cut the burden on primary students, but now some localities are
cutting burdens in middle schools as well. Third, What kind of work should be
cut, and are we ready for the cut? Fourth, the students' work overload is like a
syndrome; you can't cure it with only one drug.{{B}}Dr. Shen Yushun (Education
Institute of the East China Teachers' University){{/B}} First we
need to form a system that ensures an evaluation that truly and accurately
reflects a student's accomplishments, and also orients the teaching activities
of schools to target the comprehensive development of students. Second, we need
to change the mode of the Government's administration of elementary education.
Thirds, we need to reform the entrance examination system, especially that for
college. I suggest that national and regional unified exams be canceled and
various colleges make out questions for their own exams in recruiting
students. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate
statement. Note: there are two extra statements.[A] Many
measures should be taken to cut students' study load, such as, new evaluation
and examination system, and the reform of elementary education.[B] New
evaluation system is essential to the cutting of students' study load. If there
is no efficient evaluation system, parents who only care about their children's
examination results will give more home work to their children in order to get
high marks in the examinations. Thus, no overload is reduced.[C] It is
impossible to cut students' study load since no one knows what should be
cut.[D] It is impossible to cut students' study load. Without homework how
can they get high mark? If they fail in the major examination, parents have to
pay more money if they still want a higher education.[E] It is a long
process to cut students' study load. We can not say leaving less homework as the
cutting of students' load. What we should do is to cut their load physically and
psychologically.[F] We shouldn't cut middle school students' study load
because they are faced with the entrance examination to college.[G] I do not
think students' load should be cut. From history we know that working hard and
getting higher education provide you with an advantage when competing with
others.
填空题Mr. Mike Smith: It wasn't an
easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last
people are beginning to listen to us. We're only asking for a 25 percent
increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week, that's all. It's a pity so many
people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. But please don't blame us. Blame
the government for refusing our claim. Mr. Tom Brown:
It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money
when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do
prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would
want more ,with the inevitable result that the crisis would become
uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation
hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a
10 percent increase. And that's already too much. My stand at this meeting will
be to persuade the Union to see reason. Mr. Bob Davis:
Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the
electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people
will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too
much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers
want to get more money. Don't we all? Mrs. Baker:
My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power
stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into
prison. That's what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a
few men are greedy? If they don't like their jobs, nobody's forcing them to
work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps
they'd keep their mouths shut then. Miss Slater:
Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The
electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything about
it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I
mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things.
How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get
less. It's just one of those things.
Statements A. A 10%
increase is already too much, and I'm here to persuade the Union to see
reason. B. I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors
relating to the nation's security and stability. C. We will
never go back to work until our goals are achieved. D. I think
that the government should give in to the electricity worker's
demands. E. I strongly suggest that all the power stations
should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into
prison. F. I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the
economy and that many people will lose their jobs. G. We are
forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.

填空题Caroline Hartman: Thanks for the terrific article on U2's Bono and his efforts to save Africa from financial ruin. He's not a saint. He is a hard-working, real man, using his gifts to inspire us in song and make a difference in the world. Some issues are so serious that most of us don't even try to fix them. Bono can't save the world by himself, but like others who have shown the way, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, he is proving that one man can make a difference. Molly Leuschel: Bono may be smarter, better informed and more committed than other stars, but Africa's problems are larger than his ambition. After living in Africa nearly six years, I returned to the U.S. with more questions than answers. Debt relief is a noble idea, but most foreign aid does little to enrich the life of the average African. Amanda Adichie: I am a 24-year-old Nigerian and have often viewed stars "concern" for Africa with resentment. My reaction to Bono was different: I was impressed. He is right in recommending not only debt relief but the lowering of trade restrictions on African countries. What Africa needs is not gifts of fish but fair access to the fishing pond. Malini Ranganathan: Your story on the smartest superstar on the planet was brilliant. I felt like I was right there with him, there to nod my head in approval and to believe in the potential of his African-debt-relief campaign, there to appreciate the peculiar, stubborn, witty and human sides to a guy who seems too famous to be real. Hats off to you for capturing these features so aptly and for making Bono's personality so real, his cause so true. Lynne Pereira: I loved your article on Bono, but why the annoying wording on your cover: "Don't laugh — the planet's biggest rock star is on a mission to make a difference"? Who would want to laugh? Bono has proved that he's willing and able to do what plenty of world leaders can't or won't do: put his money where his mouth is and make a difference. Statements[A] Competition on an equal footing is vital to Africa.[B] Bono should save himself from himself.[C] One man's power, though limited, is significant.[D] Africa's problems are insolvable.[E] You have presented a real image of Bono.[F] Africa is faced with other issues besides debts.[G] Bono's cause is a serious business.

填空题Liu:
To me, work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it"s the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise, I may some day lose everything, even my child.
I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby.
I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society.
Liang:
Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity(实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world.
Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny(保姆) to lend me a hand.
Yao:
When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural matemal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant.
Wang:
Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman"s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child.
Zhao:
Although we may say women"s talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields.
Statements
A.My child is the focus of my life.

C.Men should be asked to return to their paternal duties.
