问答题 {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}} {{U}}The idea of reverence for parents is closely connected to what is sometimes called "ancestor worship," although this is not an accurate term. A better term might be reverence for ancestors.{{/U}} Reverence for parents does not stop after they are dead. They continue to be revered as ancestors. According to Li, offerings of food and drink ("sacrifices") should be made to them, and various ceremonies honoring them should be performed. The Chinese believed that the well-being of the living and the dead were connected. The family group, or clan, included both the living and the dead. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Deceased members of the clan were to be treated right by the living members by means of appropriate ceremonies and offerings. Then the ancestors would see to it that things went well for the living members of the clan.{{/U}} Appropriate burial of ancestors was linked to their well-being. Among other things, this meant that a good place or site should be found in which to bury them. Experts on feng-shui(wind and water)were hired to advise families about the right site for burial. Stories are told about an ancestor's body being moved from one site to another in the hope of improving the good fortune of the family or clan. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}An understanding of Xiao can help one to appreciate some of the incidents that occur in Chinese literature. In China's greatest classical novel. The Dream of the Red Chamber, there are a number of such incidents.{{/U}} In one, the hero of the novel, a young boy called Bao Yu, gets in trouble with his father. His father has the servants hold him and tells them: "Beat him to death." While Bao Yu is being beaten, word spreads through the family mansion of what is happening and reaches the boy's grandmother, the father's mother. The grandmother arrives at the room where her grandson is being beaten and orders her son to stop. Just as Xiao gives the father the right to beat his son, so it obliges him to stop when his mother tells him to. Throughout much of its history, Japan has been greatly influenced by Chinese philosophy and literature. Many of the ways of traditional China, such as Xiao, were absorbed at an early date. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The seventeenth-century Japanese philosopher, Nakae Toju, says that if filial piety is torn from someone's heart, they become like a plant without roots.{{/U}} He goes on to say that although it would seem that an orphan has no obligations to filial piety, this is not so. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}To care for one's moral nature is a filial obligation whether our parents are living or dead. According to this thinking, becoming the best kind of human being we can be is the highest reverence we can give our parents.{{/U}}

问答题The main impression growing out of twelve years on the faculty of a medical school is that the No. 1 health problem in the US. today, even more than AIDS or cancer,is that Americans don't know how to think about health and illness.

问答题The computer and Internet impact our daily life everywhere. 61) 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. "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) 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. All the time spent online has left many young infotech workers without much time for life—or love—offline. 63) 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. 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) 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. " 65) 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. 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 peopl

问答题Neither the Americans nor the Russians have the resources to continue human space flight on their own; both sides know they need each other. 61) It"s much easier and cheaper to get used to each other and to blend differing operating styles, languages, and systems on the aged Mir (a Russian word for "peace") than trying to do that while jointly building a new space station. NASA, in fact, calls its program of shuttle flights to Mir Phase 1 of the International Space Station (ISS). Phase 2 marks the beginning of actual construction. The procedures used to dock the shuttle to Mir, for example, also will be used as a lifeboat for the ISS. And Progress freighters, like the one that crashed into Mir in June" will haul cargo to the ISS. 62) One unintended benefit of Mir"s technical troubles is that they have actually forced the two nations to work much more closely together than they had planned. Except for a brief period in the 1970s with Skylab, NASA has never operated a space station; the Russians have been running them for years. Astronauts have long been trained intensively to perform specific tasks on shuttle flights lasting 18 days or less. 63) Russian astronauts, however, learn more general skills, since they spend many months in orbit and no one can forecast all the problems they might encounter. As a result of shuttle-Mir experience, NASA is revising astronaut training to include more of the general skills they will need on the ISS. NASA decided to send astronauts to Mir based on its long record of safe operation. But this year, crews aboard Mir have faced two of the most serious emergencies in the history of human space flight. 64) In February, an oxygen generator caught fire, shooting out 4-foot-long jets of flame like; fire extinguishers were bolted in place, delaying reaction to the fire. In June, a Progress Freighter collided with the Spektr module, puncturing it. Spektr had to be sealed off to prevent all the air from leaking from the spacecraft. 65) The ancient computer that controls Mir has failed many times, causing most other systems, including the one that keeps the station"s solar panels pointed at the sun, to shut down. One failure in August occurred while a Progress was docking. Last week, the computer crashed again, the carbon dioxide removal system shut down, and a mysterious brown fluid-probably rocket fuel—appeared to leak from the station.

问答题Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.Some years ago, Pioneer Hi-bred International, where I was employed, purchased Norand Corporation. Pioneer' s sales representatives used Norand hand-held terminals to upload daily sales information and download new price and sales incentive information. Pioneer bought so many of these hand-held terminals, the economics made the purchase of Norand look interesting. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Owning Norand also allowed Pioneer to explore high-technology markets outside agriculture.{{/U}} But after several years, the emerging laptop PC technology made the hand-held units out-of-date. Pioneer sold Norand at a loss. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Pioneer always took a given percent of the annual profits to divide equally among all employees, so our profit-sharing checks were lower than if Pioneer had not purchased Norand. Additionally, my Pioneer stock was lower than it had been before the purchase of Norand. I was not pleased.{{/U}} {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The CEO of Pioneer, Tom Urban, made annual formal visits to each of the Pioneer divisions to talk about the state of the business and to listen to employees' concerns.{{/U}} When he went into the meeting room for his first visit after the sale of Norand, he acknowledged the group, removed his jacket and neatly folded it across the back of the chair. He loosened his tie, undid his collar and rolled up his sleeves. What he said next was the last thing I ever expected to hear a CEO say. He said, "I made a mistake buying Norand and I am sorry. I am sorry your profit-sharing was lower because of the purchase, and I am sorry your stock was hurt by the purchase. I will continue to take risks, but I am a bit smarter now, and I will work harder for you." The room was quiet for a moment before he asked for questions. A great man and leader stood before us that day. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}As I sat listening to him, I knew I could trust him, and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him and to Pioneer.{{/U}} I also knew I could take risks in my own job. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}In the brief moment of silence before the questions started, I recalled thinking that I would follow him into any battle.{{/U}}
