问答题In 2007, I attended the Trade Ministers' meeting in Bali on the relationship between trade and climate change. In Bali, I sent a simple message: climate first, and trade second. And that message still stands today. It was and continues to be, a message that is designed to uphold the Copenhagen Climate Summit at the end of this year. The climate crisis that we are witnessing today is the single biggest challenge to civilization as we know it. Responding to that crisis is urgent, and is a top priority on the international agenda. Because that crisis is so serious, responding to it requires that we unleash all our resourcefulness and creativity. While the multilateral trading system has a key role to play on the international economic and political landscape, that trading system is designed to enhance, and not reduce, human welfare. It cannot stand as a barrier to the fight against climate change -- in particular, to the conclusion of a "global" environmental accord. Climate negotiators needed to conclude an international treaty from which the WTO would take its cue. To truly enhance human welfare, the trading system needs to respond to the signals that would be sent to it by a successful Copenhagen accord.

人格变化
自从现代心理学建立以来,由老龄化引发的人格变化一直是大家争论的话题。人格发展理论有两大主要流派。第一个流派认为成年人的人格是相对稳定的。例如,麦克卡雷和考斯塔指出25~30岁以上的成年人的人格结构一般不会有大的变化。弗洛伊德认为一个人的人格发展到了青春期就相对完整,40岁以后几乎就不会再发生变化。这些作者认为人格发展就像身高一样,逐渐稳定并进入最佳成熟状态。另一方面,第二个流派认为人格以可塑性与变化为特征,人格发展会随着人生阅历变化而发生变化。卡斯皮和巴尔迪茨主张,虽然人格显现出一定的稳定性,但人与环境间的交互作用极其复杂,人格变化会贯穿于人的一生。
人格特点的纵向研究表明,基本的人格特征在成年人阶段还是相对稳定的。例如,巴尔迪摩的纵向研究发现,诸如情绪性、外倾性、开放性等在内的人格衡量指标在10年或更长的时间内存在显著的稳定性。科学家们在明尼苏达州进行的一项长达30年的相同研究也得出了类似的结论。而且,在老年人中进行的访谈发现,一个人的自我意象似乎没有随着年龄的增长而发生什么变化。这使得一些人类学家推断自我意象本质上是“永恒的”。很多理论学者相信一旦进入成年期,人格不再有显著的变化。然而,近期的纵向研究发现绝对稳定性被高估了。事实上,人们已经发现了成年期出现的显著的个人内在变化。一般说来,随着宜人性和责任感的增加,情绪性、外倾性降低。这就意味着心理层面上的成熟始于成人阶段之初。随着年龄的增长,成熟速度下降,但持续性的重大变化不断出现,直至高龄阶段。例如,斐尔德和米尔萨普的纵向研究发现情绪性下降会延续到69岁,然后趋向平稳直到83岁,而宜人性增加,外向性减弱的变化也延续到83岁。
尽管基本的人格特征在成年期还相当稳定,但人格的其他方面会出现一些可预见性的变化。成人阶段人格变化之一就是更加醉心于个人内心世界,包括增加对个人感情和经历的关注,减少外倾性。这种持续增长的内倾性格的变化经常伴随着比年轻时候更少的冲动和更谨慎的行为。在某些情况下,还伴随对外部世界兴趣的降低,行事会更加小心翼翼。
纵向研究已经发现,随着年龄的增长,成年人越来越表现出彼此间的差异。人际交往的风格更加个性化,人们也较以往更加的“自我”。在一定程度上,这可能是由于老年人降低了对顺应外部世界期望的需求,在缺乏清晰、明确的老年社会角色标准的社会当中尤其如此。另外,有些变化还可能是由于阿耳茨海默式病(早老性痴呆)、艾滋病、中风、或者其他疾病如脑瘤、感染、抑郁、其他压力等引起的。

问答题约克市学区主管希望给所有可能辍学的学生留下一点纪念——辍学证书,让他们记得短命的学校生涯意味着什么。
约克市学区主管卡洛斯(Carlos)打算向那些声称要从威廉高中退学的学生颁发这种形似毕业文凭的证书。他说:“颁发辍学证书的目的在于确保学生明白其决定的后果,它也可以起到阻止学生退学的作用。”
辍学证书让学生知道未完成学业将会带来的损失,其中写道:“决定退学的领证人”全然明白他/她此生可能遭受高达42万美元的损失,“其原因是从事底薪工作或失业。”
有时候,你必须对人们当头棒喝,让他们明白这是一个改变人生的决定。
卡洛斯说:“我从没听谁说过自己为辍学感到高兴。”

问答题
问答题Read the following passage and then give short answers to the following five
questions. Most of us tell one two lies a day, according to
scientists who study these things. And we rarely get caught, because the lies we
tell are usually little ones: "I got stuck in traffic." "That color looks good
no you." "I was just about to call."
But even the smallest fib may soon be systematically exposed,
at least in the virtual World. Researchers at several universities are
developing software that can detect lies in online communications such as
instant messages e-mails and chatrooms. The ability to spot "digital deception",
as researchers call it, has never been more crucial. Today, much of our business
and social life is conducted online, making us increasingly vulnerable. White
collar criminals, sexual predators, scammers, identity thieves and even
terrorists surf the same Web as the rest of us. Conventional lie
detectors look for physiological signs of anxiety--a bead of sweat or a racing
pulse--but online systems examine only the liar's words. "When we're looking at
Ianguage, we're looking at the tool of the lie," says Jeff Hancock, all
assistant professor of communication and a member of the faculty of computing
and information science at Cornell University. Hancock, who
recently received a $ 680, 000 grant from the National Science Foundation to
study digital deception, says there is a growing body of evidence that the
language of dishonest messages is different than that of honest ones. For
example, one study led by Hancock and due to be published this spring in
Discourse Processes found the deceptive e-mail messages contained 28 percent
more words on average and used a higher percentage of words associated with
negative emotions than did truthful messages. Liars also tend to use fewer
first-person references (such as the pronoun "I") and more third-person
references (such as "he" and "they"). This may be the liar's subconscious way of
distancing himself from his lie. More surprising, Hancock and
his colleagues have observed that the targets of liars also exhibit distinctive
language patterns. For instance, people who are being deceived often use shorter
sentences and ask more questions. Even though they may not be aware that they
are being lide to, people seem to exhibit subconscious suspicions.
To identify the patterns of deceit, Hancock has developed an
instant-messaging system at Cornell that asks users to rate the deceptiveness of
each message they send. The system has already collected 10, 000 messages, of
which about 6 percent qualify as patently deceptive. Eventually the results will
be incorporated into software that analyzes incoming messages.
For now, the Cornell researchers are working only with the kinds of lies
told be students and faculty. It remains to be seen whether such a system can be
scaled up to handle "big" lies, such as messages sent by con artists and
terrorists. Fortunately, the research so far suggests that
people lie less often in e-mail than face-to-face or on the phone. Perhaps this
is because people are reluctant to put their lies in writing, Hancock
speculates. "An email generates multiple copies," he says. "It will last longer
than something carved in rock." So choose your words carefully. The internet may
soon be rid not only deceit but also of lame excuses.
