问答题Even though she was blind and deaf, Helen Keller was a woman with an extraordinary social vision. 61) When most women's rights activists were working for the right to vote, Helen Keller advocated action that was more direct and more immediate than the vote. In 1911, speaking in England where women had the right to vote, she said: "Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats... You ask for votes for women. 62) What good can votes do when ten-eleventh of the land of Great Britain belongs to 200,000 men and only one-eleventh to the rest of the 40,000,000? Have your men with their millions of votes freed themselves from this injustice?" 63) When she became active and openly socialist, a New York city newspaper, the Brooklyn Eagle, which had previously treated her as a heroine, criticized that her misguided socialism had somehow developed from her blind and deaf condition. She replied that when once she met the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, he had complimented her lavishly: "But now that I have come out for socialism, he reminds me and the public that I am blind and deaf and especially liable to error." She added: "Oh, ridiculous Brooklyn Eagle! What an ungallant bird it is! 64) Socially blind and deaf, it defends an intolerable system, a system that is the cause of much of the physical blindness and deafness which we are trying to prevent. The Eagle and I are at war. I hate the system which it represents... When it fights back, let it fight fair... It is not fair fighting or good argument to remind me and others that I cannot see or hear. I can read. I can read all the socialist books I have time for in English, German and French. If the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle should read some of them, he might be a wiser man, and make a better newspaper. 65) If I ever contribute to the socialist movement the book I sometimes dream of, I know what I shall name it: Industrial Blindness and Social Deafness."

翻译题I have noticed that children are not even being school in social graces. At a Sunday brunch, a clown was making balloon animals for the children. 【61】^My friend'' s daughter, Sarah, stood by me waiting her turn.# The children grabbed their balloons one by one and ran. 【62】I was the only adult present who prompted "What do you say "when the clown handed Sarah her balloon. The clown beamed at us, grateful he had actually been acknowledged.# I don'' t blame the children, however. They emulate what they see. 【63】^And what they are seeing is a society focused solely on acquisition no matter another drink in a restaurant or a space on a crowded freeway ― without ever stopping to thank the source.# Rude language is now so common that it is accepted behavior. And I''m not talking about the obviously blue vocabulary in books and movies, or that damn is considered harmless compared to what else has become acceptable. I''m referring to inconsiderate word choice. For example, while discussing a story idea with an editor, a very young stall member asked if I was the "chick "who had called for information. I said nothing, knowing that a show of displeasure would have labeled me oversensitive rather than him rude. 【64】^Most people today feel proud to have built a society that treats the races, sexes, and economic classes more equally ever before. And, yes, we have made real strides in these areas.# But isn''t it ironic that these same people don''t find it necessary to say "Excuse me "to an older couple walking very slowly in front of them, before zooming around the couple? It''s not necessary to provide yet another analysis of the disintegration of the family or the breakdown of the social fabric or the price of democracy to explain what has happened to our society. The matter at hand is simply to thank the next person who provides a helping hand when needed. In a crowded world, manners are very important. Small, friendly human interactions help ease the everyday stress of having to hurry, trying to squeeze onto a crowded thoroughfare, standing in one more line to deal with a clerk of some kind, or calling a customer service representative for the third time about a mistake on a bill. Manners make us aware that everything we have derives from a source. 【65】^Are we really so pressured that we cannot stop to observe simple courtesy?#

问答题It is astonishing how little is known about the working of the mind. But however little or much is known, it is fairly clear that the model of the logic-machine is not only wrong but mischievous. There are people who profess to believe that man can live by logic alone. If only they say, men developed their reason, looked at all situations and dilemmas logically, and proceeded to devise rational solutions, all human problems would be solved. Be reasonable. Think logically. Act rationally. This line of thought is very persuasive, not to say seductive. 61)It is astonishing, however, how frequently the people most fanatically devoted to logic and reason, to a cold review of the "facts" and a calculated construction of the truth, turn out not only to be terribly emotional in argumentation, but obstinate before any "truth" is "proved"] — deeply committed to emotional positions that prove rock-resistible to the most massive accumulation of unsympathetic facts and proofs. If man's mind cannot be turned into a logic-machine, neither can it function properly as a great emotional sponge, to be squeezed at will. All of us have known people who gush as a general response to life — who gush in seeing a sunset, who gush in reading a book, who gush in meeting a friend. They may seem to live by emotion alone, but their constant gushing is a disguise for absence of genuine feeling, a torrent rushing to fill a vacuum. 62)It is not uncommon to find beneath the gush a cold, analytic mind that is astonishing in its meticulousness and ruthless in its calculation.] Somewhere between machine and sponge lies the reality of the mind — a blend of reason and emotion, of actuality and imagination, of fact and feeling. 63)The entanglement is so complete, the mixture so thoroughly mixed, that it is probably impossible to achieve pure reason or pure emotion, at least for any sustained period of time.] It is probably best to assume that aI1 our reasoning is fused with our emotional commitments and beliefs, all our thoughts colored by feelings that lie deep within our psyches. 64)Moreover, it is probably best to assume that this stream of emotion is not a poison, not even a taint, but is a positive life-source, a stream of psychic energy that animates and vitalizes our entire thought process.] 65)The roots of reason are embedded in feelings—feelings that have formed and accumulated and developed over lifetime of personality-shaping.] These feelings are not for occasional using but are inescapable. To know what we think, we must know how we feel. It is feeling that shapes belief and forms opinion. It is feeling that directs the strategy of argument. It is our feelings, then, with which we must come to honorable terms.

问答题 Lie detectors are widely used in the United States to find out whether a person is telling the truth or not. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Polygraphers, the people who operate them, claim that they can establish guilt b v detecting physiological changes that accompany emotional stress.{{/U}} The technique adopted is to ask leading questions such as: "Did you take the money?" or "Where did you hide the money?", mixed in with neutral questions, and measure the subject's electrical resistance in the palm or changes in his breathing and heart rate. Whether lie detectors will ever be adopted on a similar scale in Britain is still a matter of opinion. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}At first sight, it appears obvious that any simple, reliable method of convicting guilty people is valuable, but recent research not only raises doubts about how lie detectors should be used but also makes it questionable whether they should be employed at all.{{/U}} {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The point is that, apart from many of the polygraphers being unqualified the tests themselves are by no means free from error, primarily because they discount human imagination and ingenuity.{{/U}} Think of all those perfectly innocent people, with noting to be afraid of, who blush and stammer when a customs officer asks them if they have anything to declare. Fear, and a consequently heightened electrical response, may not be enough to establish guilt. It depends on whether the subject is afraid of being found out or afraid of being wrongfully convicted. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}On the other hand, the person who is really guilty and whose past experience has prepared him for such tests can distort the results by anticipating the crucial questions or deliberately giving exaggerated responses to neutral ones!{{/U}} The success rate of up to 90% claimed for lie detectors is misleadingly attractive. If we refer such a figure to a company with 500 employees, twenty of whom are thieves, the lie detector could catch 18 of them but in doing so would place 32 innocent employees suspicion. The problem for the management would therefore become one of deciding how much industrial unrest they are prepared to cause in order to eliminate theft. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}What concerns research workers even more, of course, is the fact that a certain number of innocent people are bound to be convicted of crimes they have not committed.{{/U}}

Now custom has not been commonly regarded as a subject of any great importance. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior at its most commonplace. As a matter of fact, it is the other way around. Traditional custom, taken the world over, is a mass of detailed behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays inexperience and in belief and the very great varieties it may manifest. No man ever looks at the world with pristine eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and the ways of thinking. Even in his philosophical probings he cannot go behind these stereotypes; his very concepts of the true and the false will still have reference to his particular traditional customs. John Dewey has said in all seriousness that the part played by custom in shaping the behavior of the individual as over against any way in which he can affect traditional custom, is as the proportion of the total vocabulary of his mother tongue over against those words of his own baby talk that are taken up into the language of his family. When one seriously studies social orders that have had the opportunity to develop independently, the figure becomes no more than an exact and matter-of-fact observation. The life history of the individual is first and foremost an adjustment to the patterns and standards traditionally handed down in his community. From the moment of his birth the customs into which he is born shape his experience and behavior. By the time he can talk, he is the little creature of his culture, and by the time he is grown and able to take part in its activities, its habits are his habits, its beliefs his beliefs, its impossibilities his impossibilities.

翻译题The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) conservatively estimates that, by 2005, worldwide electronic, computer-dependent commerce will grow from its current $30 billion annually to approximately $1 trillion every year . 【61】^Growth in electronic commerce is not a straight line trend ― it comes slowly at first, then accelerates rapidly.# For example, an innovation at one Internet site may create a base that leads to the development of many other sites. The OECD timber estimates that, of this commerce,80 percent will be business-to-business, though the retail share will clearly be worth capturing ― 20 percent of $1 trillion is no small figure. It is easy to forget that the Worldwide Web did not exist before 1991 and was not commercialized until 1994. 【62】^ Nonetheless, although it may take six years to reach sales of $1 trillion, it won'' t take six more to reach $2 trillion, nor perhaps even two to expand from 2 to 4 trillion dollars.# One reason for this acceleration will be the growth in computer ownership. According to one projection, by 2005,70 percent of American households will have a computer ― a figure that may well be closer to 98 percent because computers will be free to customers who sign up internet service as part of the manufacturer''s package. 【63】^Electronic commerce will turn the world into one giant shopping mall for products, services. and investments.# One obvious effect will be the creation of geographically mobile capital, but even more importantly, e-commerce will make a global marketplace for labor services, and thus the practical equivalent of worldwide labor mobility. People will be able to live in one nation and earn income in another. 【64】^By 2005,more than half of the average employee''s working hours in advanced countries( like the United States and the United Kingdom)will be spent at home.# In occupations where physical contact is important ― selling, for example ― businesses will end to locate closer to where employees want to live rather than making them commute. In fact, businesses will have to pay a high premium to attract commuters because labor markets will be tight ― as they already are in America and England and as they may eventually become in continental Europe. 【65】^Employees will be, figuratively speaking, in the driver''s seat.# As a result, large cities will increasingly be surrounded by full-service communities. The cities will not die, but jobs, entertainment, and the like will move to the suburbs that have been quickly expanding around them.
