{{U}}A one-month survey results indicate that smoking, alcohol and marijuana
use increase among residents of Manhattan during the five to eight weeks after
the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center which took place on September
11,2001.{{/U}} Almost one-third of the nearly 1 000 persons interviewed reported
an increased use of alcohol, marijuana, or cigarettes following the September 11
attacks. About one-fourth of the respondents said they were drinking more
alcohol in the weeks after September 11; about one tenth reported an in- crease
in smoking, and 3.2% said they had increased their use of marijuana.
62){{U}}The investigators found survey Participants by randomly, dialing New
York City phone numbers and screened Potential respondents for Manhattan
residents living in areas close to the World Trade Center. {{/U}}Interviews were
conducted with 988 individuals between October 16 and November 15,2001.
Participants were asked about their cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, and
marijuana use habits before and after September 11. During the week prior to
September 11,2001,22.6% of the participants reported smoking cigarettas,59.1%
drinking alcohol, and 4.4% using marijuana. After September 11,23.4% reported
smoking cigarettes, 64.4% drinking alcohol, and 5.7% smoking marijuana. Among
those who smoked, almost 10% reported smoking at least an extra pack of
cigarettes a week and among those who drank alcohol, more than 20% reported
imbibing at least one extra drink a day. The researchers found
that people who reported an increase in substance abuse were more likely to
suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and from depression.
63){{U}}People who reported an increase in cigarette smoking or marijuana use were
also more likely to have both PTSD and depression, while those people who
reported an increase in alcohol use were more likely to have depression
only.{{/U}} 64){{U}}Persons who were living closer to the World Trade Center were
more likely to increase their cigarette smoking, but other factors such as being
displaced from one's home, losing possessions during the attacks, or being
involved in the rescue efforts were not consistently associated with increased
substance use.{{/U}} Symptoms of panic attack were associated with an increase in
the use of all substances. Increase in substance abuse did not
differ significantly between men and women or among racial or ethnic groups.
65){{U}}Demographic factors such as age, marital status, and income seemed to play
a more critical role in determining if the events of September 11 led to an
increase in substance use.{{/U}}

问答题 Do animals have rights? This is how the question is
usually put. It sounds like a useful, ground -clearing way to start. {{U}}
{{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Actually, it isn't, because it assumes that
there is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does
not have. {{/U}} On one view of Tights, to be sure, it
necessarily follows that animals have none. {{U}} {{U}} 2
{{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social
contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements. {{/U}}Therefore
animals cannot have rights. The idea of punishing a tiger that kills somebody is
absurd; for exactly the same reason, so is the idea that tigers have rights.
However, this is only one account, and by no means an uncontested one. It denies
rights not only to animals but also to some people for instance, to infants, the
mentally incapable and future generations. In addition, it is unclear what force
a contract can have for people who never consented to it: how do you reply to
somebody who says I don't like this contract? The point is
this: without agreement on the fights of people, arguing about the rights of
animals is fruitless. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}It leads the
discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals
should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans or
with no consideration at all. {{/U}}This is a false choice. Better to start with
another, more fundamental, question: is the way we treat animals a moral issue
at all? Many deny it. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}}
{{/U}}{{U}}Arguing from the view that humans are different from animals in every
relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that animals lay outside the
area of moral choice. {{/U}}Any regard for the suffering of animals is seen as a
mistake a sentimental displacement of feeling that should properly be directed
to other humans. This view, which holds that torturing a monkey
is morally equivalent to chopping wood, may seem bravely logical. In fact it is
simply shallow: the confused center is right to reject it. The most elementary
form of moral reasoning the ethical equivalent of learning to crawl is to weigh
others’ interests against one's own. This in turn requires sympathy and
imagination: without which there is no capacity for moral thought. To see an
animal in pain is enough, for most, to engage sympathy. {{U}} {{U}}
5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}When that happen, it is not a mistake: it is mankind's
instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged
rather than laughed at {{/U}}.

The computer and Internet impact our daily life everywhere. 61)
{{U}}Today, there's scarcely an aspect of our life that isn't being upended by the
torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding
the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each
other via electronic mail.{{/U}} "If the automobile and aerospace technology had
exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology," says
Microsoft, "a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a thimble of gas.
And you could buy a Boeing 762 for the cost of a pizza. "
Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the
Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving the needs of their
customers. 62) {{U}}Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the
Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day
than men could turn out in nearly a year.{{/U}} All the time
spent online has left many young infotech workers without much time for life—or
love—offline. 63) {{U}}The U. S. free enterprise system, which reaches a frenzy in
Silicon Valley, has recognized that the local love boat is taking on water and
is rushing in to save the day.{{/U}} Dating services are approaching overload.
Seminars and love doctors are teaching these rich, busy young singles how to
find and capture their heart's desire in this romantic wasteland. And dot-com
facilitators such as Matchmaker. com are struggling to bring the sexes together
online. One reality that losers in this love bazaar must face
is that they weren't picked because they were out of shape. But not to worry
since the Cyber Age has the answer to this one, too. Computerized fitness
programs with audio, visual, and cyber personal trainers are ready to turn your
home and treadmill into your own personal health club. Turn on iFit. com's
"One-On-One Training" audio workouts and you can bend and stretch to your
favorite music. 64) {{U}}Its "Adventure" series video workouts will
automatically adjust the speed and incline of your iFit-compatible treadmill as
you gaze into your TV screen and experience the " beautiful rock formations of
Utah's Red Rock" or " the tropical paradise of Hawaii. "{{/U}}
65) {{U}}Americans spend more on entertainment than on clothing or health
care, and the convergence of computers and telecommunications is generating new
ways to amuse ourselves undreamed of until now.{{/U}} The Internet is a land of
endless amusements, and among the wildest is the Sims-simulations. These are
about creating, managing, and controlling the lives of tiny computerized
people.

61) {{U}}The method of scientific investigation is nothing but the expression
of the necessary mode of working of the human mind; it is simply the mode by
which all phenomena are reasoned about and given precise and exact explanation.
{{/U}}There is no more difference, but there is just the same kind of difference,
between the mental operations of a man of science and those of an ordinary
person, as there is between the operations and methods of a baker or of a
butcher weighing out his goods in common scales, and the operations of a chemist
in performing a difficult and complex analysis by means of his balance and
finely graded weights. It is not that the scales in the one case, and the
balance in the other, differ in the principles of their construction or manner
of working; but that the latter is much finer apparatus and of course much more
accurate in its measurement than the former. You will understand
this better, perhaps, if I give you some familiar examples. 62) {{U}}You have all
heard it that men of science work by means of induction and deduction, that with
the help of these operations, they, in a sort of sense, manage to extract from
Nature certain natural laws, and that out of these, by some special skill of
their own, they build up their theories. {{/U}}63) {{U}}And it is imagined by many
that the operations of the common mind can be by no means compared with these
processes, and that they have to be acquired by a sort of special training.
{{/U}}To hear all these large words, you would think that the mind of a man of
science must be constituted differently from that of his fellow men, but if you
will not be frightened by terms, you will discover that you are quite wrong, and
that all these terrible apparatus are being used by yourselves every day and
every hour of your lives. 64) {{U}}There is a well-known incident
in one of Moliere's plays, where the author makes the hero express unbounded
delight on being told that he had been talking prose during the whole of his
life. {{/U}}65) {{U}}In the same way, I trust that you will take comfort, and be
delighted with yourselves, on the discovery that you have been acting on the
principles of inductive and deductive philosophy during the same period.
{{/U}}Probably there is not one here who has not in the course of the day had
occasion to set in motion a complex train of reasoning, of the very same kind,
though differing in degree, as that which a scientific man goes through in
tracing the causes of natural phenomena.
问答题The English middle classes had and have no frontiers: they were and are the recruiting ground of talent, the natural social ladder of all who have capacity for leadership in the wider meaning of the word. 22) Professor Bum has compared the social and economic structure of Britain to an escalator, or moving staircase: some are higher than others, but all are moving slowly up and there is room on the left for the agile to improve their relative as well as their absolute position. The class structure knits society with order and cohesion, providing a graduated slope down which the standards of the highest may descend to the lowest and providing the spur of ambition to urge the best from below into positions of responsibility and influence. While it has always been possible to rise into the middle classes, it has also been possible to rise out of them; and the moment a man rose into them, influences were at work to civilize and change the recruit and fit him and his descendants to new purposes — for service to the community as a whole. 23) A man who wanted social recognition was almost obliged to "do good" with some part of his money, even though he did it hypocritically and with his tongue in his cheek. His children may have done it because it was the thing to do, and yet the more thoughtful of them may have realized that, done or not, it was the right thing, necessary to the character of a gentleman and a Christian. On the continent the bourgeoisie was an isolated part of the nation, but the English middle classes learned to do more than keep their riches and maintain and extend trade and industry: they learned to be wholly national. A feature of English history has been the constant reintegration of groups split off from the main current of national experience — the burgesses, the Puritans, the Nonconformists, the Roman Catholics. Half a century's estrangement between the farmers and the townsmen may yet be healed. 24) The English middle classes are what they are by virtue not of trade but of organization; not of property but of independence; not of power but of government; not solely because they wanted to have but because of what they wanted to be. All that is worst in the reproachful use of the word "middle class" has been present. But something else has also been present, steadily warring against philistinism though with varying success. 25) "What shall we do to be received?" the new middle classes have cried, and in every generation the reply has come — from above and below — "Learn to behave like gentlemen."
