填空题Lin: 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 maternal 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. Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. Statements[A] My child is the focus of my life.[B] Family and work are both important for women.[C] Men should be asked to return to their paternal duties.[D] I would give up the whole world for my work.[E] Women need work to prove their own value.[F] Women are born to be mothers.[G] Women understand child better than men.

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 take 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. 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.

填空题Erum Nadeem: Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note: the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultural tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no misunderstanding-only happiness. Sander Tideman: I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have beer, more complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of "gross national happiness" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross national product does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reaching effects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger social scale. Paul Aboh: Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and share happiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helping hand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you discover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but it never destroys. Mansoor Malik: Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind to the environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of wellbeing. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can-help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile. Peter Fischer: At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, 1 appreciated your special report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are ofter hungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? As your article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make us happy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right. Statements A．A rich person is not necessarily happy. B．Things people often overlook may be the very. source of happiness C．Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis. D．We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness. E．Happiness lies in giving instead of taking. F．The environment is a source of happiness. G．Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.

填空题Directions: Read the text from a magazine 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. Ma Jian It's my own decision. Why? Only for the college and specialty I like. I found my exam results fell short of my expectations. In fact, with the results, I could have entered a decent university and studied quite a good specialty. But that's not what I like. I think my future job will be largely decided by what I learn in college and I don't like to have a job which I dislike in future. Although I know what kind of hardships I will experience during this one-year restudy, I feel it is worth one more year restudy. Cui Gong My goal is the Dept. of Biology at Peking University. I failed last year by only a few marks. Although computing is a hot faculty that many people strive to get into, I never felt settled and could not forget my dream. So I decided to quit and prepare for another exam. Indeed I face great pressure primarily because I've given up a hot specialty and I may fail the next exam. But I have to try whatever the risk, otherwise, it will remain a knot in my heart the rest of my life. Zhao Zuoyi I think the increasing number of re-applicants who have got high scores is a normal phenomenon. It results from the general social atmosphere that reflects changes in social demand. In the 1950s, for instance, all society needed were those who could read and write. You were respected if you were a primary school graduate. Recently, talents with a higher education background are in great demand. Mr Zheng Learning is not merely for learning, but for application. The purpose of learning is to improve the qualification of the learner, to adapt oneself to social development, to broaden the sphere of employment and finally to create values for oneself and society. If I consent to my son having one-year restudy, outwardly my family loses 7 000 Yuan on tuition, but the actual loss is far more than that amount. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there is one extra statement. Statements A. I quit computing and decide to achieve my dream. B. I think learners should adapt themselves to the social development. C. I want to have a job which I like in the future. D. I think it reflects changes in social demands. E. I don't want to lose 7000 Yuan for my son to restudy.

填空题Maguet de Icaza: Free software benefits people, countries and companies by giving them complete control of the software on which they depend. This is helping close the digital divide between developed and underdeveloped countries. People who previously might never have had access to this sort of technology are already leading the efforts to bring it to the developing world. Free software is the foundation on which a fairer future and a more efficient economy is being built. Austin Hill: Welcome to the future. Your mobile phone tracks your location, your interactive TV records your viewing habits. Privacy is to the information age what environmentalism was to the industrial age. Businesses will protect themselves, and their customers, by introducing privacy-promoting technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation. A leading class of privacy protectors will emerge in every industry, and both they and their customers will reap the rewards of the ethical privacy brand. Ng Ede Phang: This will be the year that plain old text e-mail sits up and starts talking-and talking a lot. The human voice is a powerful weapon. An e-mail doesn"t tell me whether you"re happy, sad or excited, whereas Internet voice services provide all these key emotional characteristics. The human voice adds a very powerful element to business relationships that e-mail just cannot match. Murray Goldman: For those of us who live on airplanes, a key decision is which electronic devices to carry on a trip. The future is in the appropriate combination of communications and computing devices. Many business travelers will require the full computing power of a personal computer, with a screen large enough to do intensive work. As a result, lightweight notebooks have been introduced to the market with innovative options such as built-in DVDs, cameras and wireless capabilities. Christine Karman: We"ll see agents on portals and community websites helping people trade goods and information. Venture capitalists are shifting from dotcoms to software and hardware companies. In Europe, that shift is hard to make because we don"t have a Silicon Valley from which lots of companies are conquering the world. As a consequence, the slowly emerging Internet and software industry in Europe may not survive. If I were starting a new software company now, I"d go to California or Boston. Now match each of the people (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement. Note:there are two extra statements. Statements A. Business travelers will set the trend of future computer market. B. Europe will catch up with America in the high-tech industry. C. Free software helps bring about digital equality. D. Voice e-mail adds a human touch to online communication. E. Compactness and multi-function will be a trend in the future market. F. Privacy needs special protection in the information age.

填空题Some of the greatest successes you can think of began with failure. What a big 1 a little continued effort and determination can make. Workplace expert Nan Russell, author of "The Titleless Leader: How to Get Things Done When You"re Not in Charge," offers a number of 2 of people who were deemed failures—and then turned successful. Albert Einstein was 3 to be mentally challenged as a child and told he would never amount to anything. Need we say bow that one turned out? Walt Disney was fired from the Kansas City Star because the editor thought be lacked 4 . Chester Carlson"s early Xerox machines were 5 by 20 companies before he finally found a business partner.

Here"s just one: "Many of life"s failures are people who did not realize how 7 they were to success when they gave up."

填空题 As any woman can prove, there are some things at which her gender naturally excels. In the past decade, academic research has offered insight into the feminine advantage:Part Ⅰ Verbal superiority may continue from childhood to adulthood. Studies show that women excel at certain verbal-fluency tests, such as listing multiple words that begin with the same letter. Some researchers have also found that women are more adept at learning foreign languages than men are.Part Ⅱ According to psychologist Doreen Kimura of the University of Western Ontario, women outperform men on "precision manual tasks." In studies involving quick, accurate, small movements, and a pegboard test (in which subjects place small pegs into holes as quickly as they can), women outdo men.Part Ⅲ In one study of 1955, Richard L. Doty, in the University of Pennsylvania Smell and Taste Center, asked randomly selected sniffers to identify scents. He found that, on average, women outperformed men. Women also have lower odor "thresholds", meaning they can detect fainter odors than men can. Women do better than men on hearing tests, too. And their hearing deteriorates less rapidly than men's over time, according to Mary Anne Baker, a psychology professor at Indiana University Southeast.Part Ⅳ Women interrupt less, are more likely to be complimentary, and laugh at other people's jokes more. And women even disagree agreeably, as in "That's a good point, but —" In numerous studies, women also read nonverbal cues—facial expressions, body movements, and changes in tone of voice—more accurately than men do, according to Hall. Women's faces are generally more expressive than men's, too, says Hall.Part Ⅴ As more women rise to upper management, researchers have examined differences in how men and women lead. Women tend to share power, encourage participation, and boost their employees' sense of self-worth. Many of the women believe subordinates perform best when they feel good about themselves, and women tend to foster that feeling. Insignificant contrast, their male counterparts exercise more formal authority and care more about hierarchy, Rosenerfound. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. Born to lead.B. Super Senses.C. Handy Women.D. Social Communication.E. Attentive Character.F. Habit of thrift.G. The Language Gap.

填空题Helen Smith: What better way to start off my senior year in high school than by reading something I am entirely familiar with? I couldn't have described this online revolution any better. The expansion of Facebook and its continuing success make me more interested in the world of computers and web design and the career choices they offer. Thanks, Mark Zuckerberg, for "poking" me into Facebook. Kevin Stuart: Rather than seeing Facebook as the hottest connection tool, I think it's more like the latest way to make an already impersonal world even more impersonal. How sad that our society is so isolated that we need a computer to "connect" with others. No, thanks! I'm going to continue hanging out on the street corner, and hope someone builds a village square someday—now, there's a radical idea! Robert Meyer: Isn't it a contradiction that so many Americans criticize the government measures for national security purposes as an invasion of privacy when many of these same people feel free to lay bare their private lives to public exposure on Facebook? Perhaps it reveals shallow minds or shallow lives. Or worse, does it reveal a lack of concern about the security of our country? Sad indeed. James Brown: I eagerly returned from vacation so I could see my nieces who were home from college, only to find them with their "faces" in Facebook almost all day. They no longer communicate much with others face to face. No more hanging out at someone's home. I wonder what effect this societal isolation will have on all of us. I hope this isn't a trend, I remember all the fun face-to-face contact used to be. Laura Lee: I love email. I live and die by Google, but I will never understand the appeal of Facebook and its vast community of friends. In fact, I'm rather shocked. There are thousands out there who would like to be your friend and demand your time: they're called books. Pick one up. Life is short. Save your few real friendships for coffee over at Starbucks or invest yourself in a local cause that will form meaningful, lifelong relationships. Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] Facebook has built up my confidence in my study.[B] Facebook raises individual awareness of privacy protection.[C] Facebook serves as an eve opener for my future work pursuit.[D] Facebook worsens; instead of bettering, interpersonal relations.[E] I miss the good old days when people met and talked to each other in person.[F] Mind your own behavior online before you blame others for privacy interference.[G] Don't waste your time on Facebook when you can do something more significant.

填空题 Stinking buses jam the crowded street. Drivers shoot at one another and honk their horns. Smog hurts the eyes and chokes the senses. The scene is Athens at rush hour. The city is in a sorry state of affairs, built without a plan, lacking even adequate sewerage facilities, its 135 square miles packed with 3.7 million people. Even Athens ruins are in ruin; sulfur dioxide eats away at the marble of the Parthenon and other treasures on the Acropolis. So great has been the population flow toward the city that neighboring villages stand vacant or nearly so. About 120,000 people from distant provinces move to Athens every year. The migrants come for the few available jobs, which are usually no better than the ones they ran away from, at the current rate of migration, Athens by the year 2000 will have a population of 6.5 million, more than half the nation. Aside from overcrowding and poor public transport, the biggest problems facing Athenians are noise and pollution. A government study concluded that Athens was the noisiest city in the world. Smog is almost at killing levels; up to four times the level that the World Health Organization considers safe. Nearly half the pollution comes form cars. Despite high prices for vehicles and fuel, nearly 100,000 automobiles are sold in Greece each year; 3000 driver's licenses are issued in Athens monthly. After decades of neglect, Athens is at last getting some attention. In March a government meeting was held to discuss a plan to make the city livable and clean up its environment. A billion in public spending for Athens alone. A master plan that will move many government offices to the city's suburbs is already in the works. Meanwhile, more Greeks keep moving into Athens. With few parks and few oxygen-producing plants, the city and its citizens are literally suffocating.A. noisiest B. mess C. moved D. kept E. pour F. limit G. dangerous
