问答题1．意识到我们的文化差异可以帮助我们更有效地相互交流，了解我们不同的交流方式可以丰富我们的文化生活。不同的交流风格体现了我们深层的哲学观及世界观，这些深层的哲学观及世界观正是我们各自的文化基础。明白了这些深层哲学我们就会获得这个世界展示给我们的更加宽广的景象。 2．从某种意义上说，各国对多极化的认可反映了国际关系中对民主化的追求。在经济全球化的时代，一种深入的相互依赖的关系正在国与国之间形成。在联合国宪章中曾发表过的一种国与国平等的原则正深入人心，越来越多的国家已经清楚地意识到：无论大小、强弱、贫富，所有的国家都是世界大家庭中平等的一员，国际关系的民主化将成为构筑世界新秩序的共同愿望。 3．质疑不仅是从消极方面去伪存真的必要步骤，也是从积极方面建立新学说，启迪新发明的基本条件。对于别人说过的话，不经过思索，都不打折扣地承认，那是思想上的懒惰。这样的人永远是被动的，永远不能治学。只有常常质疑，常常发问的人才能提出问题，提出问题才想求出解答。学问只有通过不断的发问和求解才能增长，别无他法。

问答题Research published in May 1993 by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) showed that reducing coastal and river pollution and ensuring a reliable water supply were among the top environmental priorities for the public. All discharges to water in the UK require the consent of the appropriate regulatory authority. In England and Wales the Environment Agency's principal method of controlling water pollution is through the regulation of all effluent discharges, including sewage, into groundwater, and inland and coastal waters. The Agency maintains public registers containing information about water quality, discharge consents, authorizations and monitoring. Applicants for consents to discharge have the right of appeal if they are dissatisfied with the Agency's decision; most of these appeals are dealt with by the Planning Inspectorate, an executive agency of the DETR. In Scotland control is the responsibility of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), and most appeals are dealt with by the Scottish Office. In Northern Ireland the Environment and Heritage Service is responsible for controlling water pollution. In 1997, there were 4,717 cases in England and Wales of discharges exceeding their consented limits, including a number of offences by water companies discharging insufficiently treated sewage. The majority of these breaches did not cause any significant environmental damage. However, the Environment Agency did bring 65 cases to court, of which 61 were successful, resulting in fines ranging from ￡ 440 to ￡ 12,000 and one prison sentence of two months. In Scotland, there were 2,734 pollution incidents in 1997; SEPA seeks prosecution in all significant cases. In 1997 and 1998, the Government introduced statutory Environmental Quality Standards (EQSs) for 33 substances in water. The new regulations give legal force for the first time to standards for some of the most dangerous pollutants found in the aquatic environment. In the UK, 96 percent of the population live in properties connected to a sewer, and sewage treatment works serve over 80 percent of the population. In England and Wales, the water industry is committed to an investment programme of some ￡ 11,000 million over ten years for improvements to water quality. Progressively higher treatment standards for industrial waste effluents and new measures to combat pollution from agriculture are expected to bring further improvements in water quality. In Scotland, responsibility for the provision of all water and sewerage services lies with three Water and Sewerage Authorities, covering the north, east and west of the country.

问答题1．全球经济一体化和区域化、集团化加速发展，国际经济、贸易、科技竞争越来越激烈。在这种形势下，发展中国家在实现经济增长、提高人民生活水平的道路上面临严峻的挑战。 2．消费，消费，再消费!我们的社会以消费者为中心——而且到了危险的地步。为了使工业的车轮不停地运转，我们生产出无数的消费品，而且在此过程中使自然资源急速枯竭，但这仅仅是问题的一半。 3．在美国商界，网络犯罪(cybercrime)比其他形式的犯罪更令人担忧。2005年，约90%的美国公司发生过电脑安全事故，如病毒、网络盗窃等。

问答题We"ve come to a turning point, a moment for hard decision. I have asked that Cabinet and my staff a question and now I put the same question to all of you. If not us, who? And if not now, when? 6 It must be done by all of us going forward with a program aimed at reaching a balanced budget. We can then begin reducing the national debt. I will shortly submit a budget to the Congress aimed at freezing government program spending for the next year. 7 Beyond this, we must take further steps to permanendy control government"s power to tax and spend. We must act now to protect further generation form government"s desire to spent its citizens money and tax them into servitude when the bills come due. 8 Let us make it unconstitutional for the Federal Government to spend more than the Federal Government takes in. We have already started returning to the people and to state and local governments responsibilities better handled by them. Now, there is a place for the Federal Government in matters of social compassion. 9 But our fundamental goals must be to reduce dependency and upgrade the dignity of those who are infirm or disadvantage. And here a growing economy and support from family and community offer our best chance for a society where compassion is a way of life, where the old and infirm are cared for, the young and, yes the unborn, protected, and the unfortunate looked after and made self-sufficient. Now there is another area where the Federal Government can play a part. As an older American, I remember a time when people of different race, creed or ethnic origin in our land found hatred and prejudice installed in social custom and, yes, in law. There"s no story more heartening in our history than the progress that we"ve made toward the brotherhood of man that God intended for us. 10 Let us resolve: there will be no turning back or hesitation on the road to an America rich in dignity and abundant with opportunity for all our citizens.

问答题1．在人口稠密的城市，说一个人必须认识他的近邻这个观念早已湮灭，但在小城镇和乡村里却依旧存在。 2．在天地之间生活相同的时间，走的路却可能完全不同，有人走得很远，看见很多美妙的景象，有的人却只是幽囚于斗室，至死也不明白世界有多么辽远阔大。 3．人类最大的谬误，就是以为社会和政治问题简单得很，所以根本不需要科学方法的严格训练，而只要根据实际经验就可以判断，就可以解决，但是事实却恰好相反。 4．你不能单靠成功来摆脱嫉妒，因为历史上总是有人比你更成功。享受你手头的幸福，做你应该做的工作，勿把你所幻想的——也许是完全错误的——比你更幸运的人来和自己比较，这样你才能摆脱嫉妒。 5．这样充分运用人的聪明智慧来寻求真理，来控制自然，来改变物质以供人用，来使人的身体免除不必要的辛劳痛苦，来使人的精神从愚昧、迷信里解放出来，这样的文明是真正的精神文明。

问答题There is virtually no limit to how one can serve community interests, from spending a few hours a week with some charitable organizations to practically fulltime work for a social agency. Just as there are opportunities for voluntary service overseas (VSO) for young people before they take up fulltime employment, so there are opportunities for overseas service for qualified technicians in developing countries. Some people, particularly those who retire early, offer their technical and business skills in countries where there is a special need. So in considering voluntary or paid community service there are more opportunities than there ever were when one first began work. Most voluntary organizations have only a small fulltime staff, and depend very much on volunteers and part-timers. This means that working relationships are different from those in commercial organizations, and values may be different. In some ways they may seem more casual and less efficient, but one should not judge them by commercial criteria. The people who work with them do so for different reasons and with different objectives, both personal and organizational One should not join them expecting to arm them with professional expertise; they must be joined with commitment to the cause, not business efficiency. Because salaries are small or non-existent many voluntary bodies offer modest expenses. But many retired people take part in community service for free, simply because they enjoy the work. Many community activities possible in retirement were also possible during one"s working life but they are to be undertaken no less seriously for that. Retired people who are just looking for something different or unusual to do should not consider taking community service.

问答题1．《美国健康》杂志报道说，人们的白日梦类型在童年时代就已经形成，不管是令人愉悦的、充满希望的、还是充满绝望的，在童年时代每个人就形成了三种基本白日梦类型中的一种，即积极型的、消极型的或零散型的。 2．消极型的白日梦者总是想着生活中比较阴暗的方面，想着危险的和/或威胁生命的情景，诸如出现一种致命的或使人衰弱的疾病，或是自己成了暴力的受害者。 3．尽管这三种白日梦类型都很常见，积极型的幻想最有可能作为解决问题的跳板，而消极型和零散型的白日梦可能会使人感到焦虑不安。 4．如果人们发现自己的白日梦过多了，那他们就要现实地看待他们生活中正在发生的事情，并问问自己他们是在力图逃避些什么。 5．辛格教授总结了白日梦对普通人的益处：“静静地坐在那里，让你的白日梦浮现出来，而不是抑制它们，你就可以发现你尚未注意到的、自身内心活动的那些部分。”

问答题{{B}}The Pleasure of Walking{{/B}} Walking gives us back our senses. We see, hear, smell the world as we never can when we ride. No matter what vehicle, it is the vehicle that is moving, not ourselves. We are trapped inside its fixed environment, and once we have taken in its sensory aspects -- mainly in terms of comfort or discomfort -- we mm off our perceptions and either go to sleep or open a magazine and begin dozing awake. But when we walk, the environment changes every moment and our senses are continuously being alerted. Around each comer of a city block, around each bend in a country road, there is something new to greet the eyes, the ears, the hose. Even the same walk, the one we may take every day, is never the same from one day to another, from one week and season to another. This is true not only in the country, but anywhere at all. In New York City, a group of executives who meet every weekday morning walk from their homes to their offices. Their way takes them through quiet streets of old brownstones, one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city, then up and over the Brooklyn Bridge with its cathedral arches supporting the weblike drapery of cables, then down into the skyscraper canyons of the financial district. On their daily route they see, hear, smell the city in all its seasonal changes, under bright and cloudy skies. Only the most inclement weather stops them -- suitably dressed, they can walk with pleasure in spring rains, autumn drizzles, the sunlight of a summer morning or a soft winter snowfall. The river waters roll by below their feet, sullen or sparkling. Tugboats chug past, shoving and hauling their variously laden barges; on a shrouded morning, foghorns hoot and moan. The famous skyline of lower Manhattan rises before them, glittering in sun, afloat in mist, against a backdrop of sky never twice the same.

问答题“商业模型”这个术语是伴随着个人计算机的发明和空白表格程序的出现而开始广泛地应用的。在空白表格程序出现之前，商业计划往往意味着制订一个预测。充其量你再围绕这个预测做出一点敏感性分析。这种空白表格程序给计划中注入了更好的分析方法，因为每个主项目都可细化，细化的部分或子项目都能被分析和检验。你可以对关于你的商业所依赖的关键设想做出“如果……会怎样”的提问，譬如，如果顾客对价格比我们想象的更敏感会怎样?只要敲几下键盘，你就会知道任何变化对整体各个方面的影响怎样消失。换言之，你能够将商业行为模型化。在计算机改变商业计划的本质之前，大多数成功的商业模型都是偶然创造出来的，而不是经过精心设计好的。空白表格程序通过公司将他们的市场洞察和随之产生的经济紧密相连而在计划制订之前使商业模型化成为可能。

问答题{{B}}泼水节{{/B}} 傣族的泼水节是在四月十三至十五号，这三天也是他们族的新年节日。傣族的节庆活动一共分三个层次，一天一个花样儿。第一天，大家清扫各家房屋，清理四周环境。第二天，人们倾巢而出，涌向各个大街小巷，用或锅或桶，盛满水，互相泼水嬉闹。傣族人认为这些纯水能为他们带来好运。最后一天，人们便划龙舟，放高升，不亦乐乎。 关于泼水节的来历，民间流传着一个故事。很久很久以前，一个魔王觊觎景洪这块肥沃多产的土地，便霸占了该地，还强迫七位美丽的傣族姑娘做他的“夫人”。当地老百姓恨透了它，这些姑娘们也想尽办法要除掉它。 一天，“七夫人”想了个主意。她用美酒灌醉他，甜言蜜语地奉承他，终于套出了他的死穴：原来只有用这魔头自己的一缕头发勒住他的脖子，才能将其置于死地。 很快魔王就醉醺醺地睡去了。七姑娘便如法炮制，勒住魔头的脖子，魔王的头果然就骨溜溜滚到了地上。这个魔头本是个火魔，所以它头滚到哪儿，哪儿就燃起熊熊大火。七位“夫人”和众人一起奋力朝火上泼水，最终火熄灭了。以后几百年里，傣族人民每年都要欢庆斩除妖魔，庆祝“泼水节”。
