问答题Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Rocketing Demand is Luring British Universities Abroad Universities have become terrifically popular. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}In Britain the clamour for higher education is such that almost half of young people now enroll, and the prospect of having to pay more for the privilege from 2012 is provoking a headlong dash for the ivory towers.{{/U}} There are similar enthusiasms overseas: many more youngsters are extending their education in other rich countries and emerging economies, according to figures from the OECD, a think-tank. Keen to meet some of this demand, British universities are opening foreign campuses. Britain is a world leader in higher education, second only to America in attracting foreign students. But its universities are not quite so adept at setting up shop abroad. American universities have long operated in other countries: Johns Hopkins University, for example, opened a branch in Italy in 1955 and another in China in 1986, teaching mostly in English and catering for both local and visiting students. American universities have 78 campuses overseas, including four in Britain. Australian universities have a strong presence abroad, too, with campuses in Malaysia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}By contrast, it was not until 2000 that the first large-scale British university campus was established abroad, by the University of Nottingham in Malaysia.{{/U}} In 2004 a second offshoot followed in China. Six years on British universities have set up only 13 international campuses, according to a tally by the Observatory on Borderless Higher Education, another think-tank. There are increasing efforts to catch up. On October 28th University College London (UCL) became the latest to sign a deal to move into Qatar, where it will join six American institutions already there. Qatar plans to build museums housing Arab and Islamic artifacts. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The new campus, funded by the Qatar Foundation and the Qatar Museums Authority, will offer courses in archaeology (考古学), conservation and museum studies to students, and professional training to those working in the galleries.{{/U}} UCL has also recently opened satellite operations in Australia and Kazakhstan. The biggest new market for western universities is likely to be India, according to a study by the British Council and the Economist Intelligence Unit, our sister company. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Legislation to allow foreign universities to operate there has yet to be passed, however.{{/U}} So universities such as Middlesex, which has two foreign campuses now, are entering into agreements with Indian outfits to offer degrees validated by the British partner. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The interest is mainly in tapping a new revenue stream, although British institutions tend to make less from their operations abroad than they do from charging foreigners steep tuition fees in Britain.{{/U}} But as competition for international students grows worldwide, British universities can no longer rest on their laurels at home. Expanding abroad might prove a route to survival.

问答题The relation of language and mind has interested philosophers for many centuries. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took root in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages could be.{{/U}} Only recently did linguists begin the serious study of languages that were very different from their own. Two anthropologist-linguists, Franz Boas and Edward Sapir, were pioneers in describing many native languages of North and South America during the first half of the twentieth century. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}We are obliged to them because some of these languages have since vanished, as the peoples who spoke them died out or became assimilated and lost their native languages.{{/U}} Other linguists in the earlier part of this century, however, who were less eager to deal with bizarre data from "exotic" language, were not always so grateful. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The newly described languages were often so strikingly different from the well studied languages of Europe and Southeast Asia that some scholars even accused Boas and Sapir of fabricating their data.{{/U}} Native American languages are indeed different, so much so in fact that Navajo could be used by the US military as a code during World War Ⅱ to send secret messages. Sapir's pupil, Benjamin Lee Whorf, continued the study of American Indian languages. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Being interested in the relationship of language and thought, Whorf developed the idea that the structure of language determines the structure of habitual thought in a society.{{/U}} He reasoned that because it is easier to formulate certain concepts and not others in a given language, the speakers of that language think along one track and not along another. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism which, in its strongest form, states that language imprisons the mind, and that the grammatical patterns in a language can produce far-reaching consequences for the culture of a society.{{/U}} Later, this idea became to be known as tile Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, but this term is somewhat inappropriate. Although both Sapir and Whorf emphasized the diversity of languages, Sapir himself never explicitly supported the notion of linguistic determinism.

问答题1.Role of women in modern society. 2. Prejudices and discriminations against women. 3. My opinions.

问答题I was shocked by such a response, and I know that erroneous views similar to this can be heard everywhere. 61) In the last analysis, these people think that pollution is just unavoidable in our search for a better, modernized life. But ladies and gentlemen, can we really believe that mankind will be able to lead such a life if things are allowed to go on like this? 62) The answer is: definitely not. for people and nature are so closely related to each other' that the destruction of the harmony between the two will ultimately lead to human destruction. Fortunately, we Chinese people have a fine tradition of cherishing nature. 63) The great philosopher and educator Confucius once said. "The will of heaven means the order of nature and the troth means to follow the order of nature, and man should never be separated from the troth." And now, more and more people are moving towards the realization and observance of this troth; more and more people have come to be aware of the importance of protecting mother nature-our habitat; more and more people, government officials, entrepreneurs and men in the street alike, are pondering over questions such as: how are environmental laws to be carded out in real earnest? How can industrial wastes be best disposed of or utilized? 64) How can we contribute to preserving biodiversity? What can we do to effectively curb the depletion of the ozone layer? What should be done to further prevent land degradation and desertification? In what way can we best handle our garbage and domestic sewage? People are working hard in order to find answers to these questions, not only in words but also with actions. 65) And I'm sure that our efforts in this regard will help Us find satisfactory, solutions to the existing problems and will eventually lead to harmony between people and nature.

问答题What is the thing called happiness? For centuries, people were too busy pursuing it to spend much time analyzing it. Now a pioneering band of researchers has finally bagged the elusive quarry — or, at least taken its measure. 21) Using such sophisticated new tools as the five-item Life Satisfaction Scale and the seven-point Delighted-Terrible Scale, social psychologists have plumbed the heart of happiness. And their answer to the age-old mystery is that it all depends. Happiness, that is, depends on what makes you feel happy, which is why psychologists often call it "subjective well-being'. But from studies of various age and population groups in the United States and abroad, they have reached some objective conclusions on the makings of happiness. 22) What comes up consistently at the top of the charts is not, as many might expect, success, youth, good looks or any of those enviable assets. The clear winner is relationships. Close ones. Followed by happy marriage. Supportive, intimate connections with other people seem tremendously important. Using simple survey questions, psychologist David Myers found that the least happy people are those in unhappy marriages. Happiest are those who are married to their "best friend". Oxford University now has an actual happiness laboratory. Social psychologist Michael Argyle conducts "mood induction" studies, gauging the emotional impact of music and other stimuli. In one study people were asked to think negative thoughts for 15 minutes, and the effect on their mood was measured. Later, they were urged to talk about their troubles for a few minutes. 23) The conclusion: "Talking about bad things isn't nearly as bad as thinking about bad things," says Argyle. "It halves the negative effect to share with someone else." But better yet, he says, is leisure. "Go out and play tennis. A noisy game is often the best answer." A wild card in all this is the influence of genes. Studies have shown that some people are just born happy, although environment can shape personality too. That's one reason factors like health, wealth and education come up relatively weak on the scales. They seem to be overridden by temperament. 24) Another reason is adaptability: win the lottery and your happiness leaps, but a year later you're only marginally happier than before the windfall. Major events lose their impact over time. 25) Argyle, who likens the study of happiness to preventive medicine, says, "We should do whatever we can to keep people in a positive emotional state to begin with." But he sometimes has trouble applying his own medicine. He conducts his work on a shoe-string because research grants remain desperately hard to get. "It does rather depress me," he admits.
