问答题Efforts to provide professional trauma counseling assume that trauma is the main psychosocial issue following the earthquake. (1) In fact, however, trauma is only a small part of a wide array of psychosocial issues that ought to be addressed. For many earthquake survivors, the main issue is not traumatic memories of the earthquake but stresses associated with their current living situation. These stresses include the lack of safety and security, the loss of livelihood, lack of appropriate shelter, changes in family relations, threats of and exposure to gender-based violence, substance abuse, and uncertainties about the future. Because these stresses are holistic, they require comprehensive support that goes beyond trauma counseling. (2) Inherently, the support needed is social rather than psychological and includes such things as normalizing life by reestablishing daily activities such as working for parents and education for children, protection from rape and other forms of gender-based violence, the development of livelihood, and the strengthening of community networks of social support. However, it is not just the kind of support--social or psychological--that makes a difference. Across humanitarian sectors, the way in which relief is provided has a strong impact on psychosocial well-being. A common error is to view earthquake survivors as passive victims who need to be taken care of or healed by outsiders. (3) In the present emergency, the most effective means of providing psychosocial support is through a process of community mobilization and empowerment wherein communities make their own decisions and develop their own systems of protection, care, and support for survivors. When communities make choices about how to move forward, they reestablish a sense of control that is a powerful antidote to feelings of being overwhelmed. (4) As they engage in collective planning and action, they gain a sense of hope for the future and move out of the victim's role they too often ate cast into. (5) Psychosocial support is not mainly something done to or for people by psychologists or psychiatrists but a process of local people activating their own social support for their collective well-being and positive future. Taking heed of this key point, the emphasis in earthquake response should be on social interventions that empower local people. At best, trauma counseling is a very small part of the much wider array of support that will help victims get on with their lives.

问答题Books are to mankind what memory is to individual. They contain the history of our race, the discoveries we have made, the accumulated knowledge and experience of ages; they picture for us the marvels and beauties of nature; help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow and in suffering, change hours of weariness into moments of delight, store our minds with ideas, fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out of and above ourselves.
问答题Brenda Farmer and Willie Blanscet have sat across from each other on the Butterball bagging line for 17 years, 102 cold, raw turkeys sliding by in front of them every minute. "Me and Willie look at each other and say. "How in the world can anybody eat this much turkey?""
The odds are good that yours may be one.
1. The women, along with workers at another Butterball plant a 90-minute drive away, help produce about a third of the 43 million turkeys the nation will eat today, according to the National Turkey Federation.
This corner of northwest Arkansas is not the land of free-running heritage birds that command $16 a pound. A leisurely morning browsing the farmers" market is not how most people spend a Saturday.
2. In this community of 3,000 on the Arkansas River, where everyone is cheering on the Hillbillies, the high school football team that made it to the state playoffs, turkey is an industry.
And a job at the Butterball plant is one of the most reliable in town.
The median income in Franklin County is just over $30,000 a year. Unemployment is at 7.3 percent. Every week, a dozen or so people show up at the plant looking for work. Maybe two get hired, plant managers said.
It is not easy work. Turkeys need to be stunned and dispatched and gutted. Someone has to cut the oil gland out of the tail. Necks and gizzards and livers have to be cleaned and stuffed into a cavity.
3. During a six-week period that begins in October, the line runs seven days a week to process fresh turkey. It is a period people in town simply refer to as "fresh", and it is grueling.
"It"s a long battle when we"re working fresh, but I at least got some bills paid and Christmas money," Mrs. Farmer said. "I just sit there and hum and sing and talk to my friend Willie. We get through it together."

问答题每个人一生中都该有个志向,否则他的精力便会浪费掉。每个青年人都力求成为一个有成就的人。一个青年人只期望富有是不明智的,或只专心于求得权力与名望也是不对的。一个希望做有成就的青年人,通常这个梦想就能实现。狄斯拉里(Disraeli)的故事是个例证。狄斯拉里开始过公众生活时渴望成为一名学者和演说家。他在文学方面的成就比演说方面更为成功。起初他作为一个演说家时是完全失败的。不过,他认为有把握克服障碍,遂以不屈不挠的精神致力于这个目标的实现。他的一些朋友认为他这个念头是蠢的,甚至是古怪的,但他坚持目标不舍,最后终于成功,成为英国知识最渊博、雄辩力最强的演说家之一。引用这个故事并不是说明:只是大学者或演说家,或二者兼而有之者才是有成就的人。除了做学者或演说家之外。还有许多同样高尚与可敬的职业。它只是用来说明一个青年人须志向高远,因为“宁可志高而达不到目标,也不要志低而达到”。

问答题TOPIC Do you agree that history repeats itself? Provide examples to support your viewpoints.
问答题The next 15 years is an important period that links our country's past with our future in reform and opening-up and in the socialist modernization drive. We have had a relatively solid material and technical foundation through years of socialist construction since the founding of People's Republic of China and especially through the rapid development since the implementation of the policy of reform and opening to the outside world. The vast domestic market and the relatively large savings deposits are a tremendous promise for development. 51. The deepening of reform and opening; up will further invigorate economic development. Social stability and national unity provide the basic guarantee for the modernization drive. Furthermore, the theory, the line and the policy of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, which evolved through practice, clearly indicate the direction for continued progress. 52. Viewed from a global perspective, the peaceful international environment and our country's good peripheral relations can be expected to continue and therefore we can persist in our efforts towards sustainable development. The scientific and technical advancement in the world and the industrial restructuring as well as the rapid economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region provide favorable conditions for economic development in China. However, there are quite a few factors that can impede progress in our medium-and-long range development. The prominent ones of these factors are: the deficiency in per-capita resources, the overall low quality of the national economy, pressure in matching the economic, scientific and technical superiority of the developed countries in the increasingly stiff international competition, and pressures exerted by hegemonies and power politics in the international relations. 53. A comprehensive assessment of the domestic and international situation at the turn of the century shows that we are faced rare historical opportunities as well as serious challenges. We must be vigilant in peacetime, work with a pioneering spirit and make greater strides on the road to modernization. The major objectives for our endeavor over the next 15 years are as follows: Complete the second phase of the strategic plan for the modernization drive during the period of the 9th Five- year Plan and quadruple the per-capita gross national product of 1980 under the condition that the population in 2000 will have increased by 300 million over the 1980; raise the people's living standards to that of a fairly comfortable life with poverty basically eradicated; and expedite the formation of a modern enterprise system and establish preliminarily a socialist market economy. The gross national product in the year 2010 will be doubled that of the year 2000; the people of China will enjoy an even more comfortable life, .and a fairly ideal socialist market economy will have come into being. 54. While carrying out the reform and stepping up development, we must achieve marked results in promoting socialist culture and ideology and in strengthening socialist democracy and the legal system, so as to attain all-round social progress. The objectives of our endeavor present a beautiful prospect for our modernization drive beyond the turn of the century and embody the lofty aspiration of the Chinese nation to self-reliance and continuous improvement. 55. With the fulfillment of these objectives, China's productive forces, comprehensive national strength and the people' s living standards will all attain a new high, and the nation' s social and economic perspective will have undergone tremendous historic changes, which will lay a firm foundation for the realization of modernization by the middle of the 21st century. These objectives are truly grand and will definitely be fulfilled through our hard work.

It is astonishing how little is known about the working of the
mind. But however little or much is known, it is fairly clear that the model of
the logic-machine is not only wrong but mischievous. There are people who
profess to believe that man can live by logic alone. If only they say, men
developed their reason, looked at all situations and dilemmas logically, and
proceeded to devise rational solutions, all human problems would be solved. Be
reasonable. Think logically. Act rationally. This line of thought is very
persuasive, not to say seductive. 1) {{U}}It is astonishing, however, how
frequently the people most fanatically devoted to logic and reason, to a cold
review of the "facts" and a calculated construction of the truth, turn out not
only to be terribly emotional in argumentation, but obstinate before any "truth"
is "proved"{{/U}} -- deeply committed to emotional positions that prove
rock-resistible to the most massive accumulation of unsympathetic facts and
proofs. 2) {{U}}If man's mind cannot be turned into a
logic-machine, neither can it function properly as a great emotional sponge, to
be squeezed at will.{{/U}} All of us have known people who gush as a general
response to life - who gush in seeing a sunset, who gush in reading a book, who
gush in meeting a friend. They may seem to live by emotion alone, but their
constant gushing is a disguise for absence of genuine feeling, a torrent rushing
to fill a vacuum. It is not uncommon to find beneath the gush a cold, analytic
mind that is astonishing in its meticulousness and ruthless in its
calculation. Somewhere between machine and sponge lies the
reality of the mind - a blend of reason and emotion, of actuality and
imagination, of fact and feeling. 3) {{U}}The entanglement is so complete, the
mixture so thoroughly mixed, that it is probably impossible to achieve pure
reason or pure emotion, at least for any sustained period of time.{{/U}}
4) {{U}}It is probably best to assume that all our reasoning is fused with
our emotional commitments and beliefs, all our thoughts colored by feelings that
lie deep within our psyches.{{/U}} Moreover, it is probably best to assume that
this stream of emotion is not a poison, not even a taint, but is a positive
life-source, a stream of psychic energy that animates and vitalizes our entire
thought process. 5) {{U}}The roots of reason are embedded in feelings - feelings
that have formed and accumulated and developed over a lifetime of
personality-shaping.{{/U}} These feelings are not for occasional using but are
inescapable. To know what we think, we must know how we feel. It is feeling that
shapes belief and forms opinion. It is feeling that directs the strategy of
argument. It is our feelings, then, with which we must come to honorable
terms.
问答题绝大多数人是不会把“欺骗”一词和科学联系在一起的。如今科学受到如此尊重,原因之一在于科学家的形象是一个冷静地收集数据、不带任何偏见、寻找真理的人。在辩论中,不管谈的是关于智力、学校教育、偏见,还是能量,通常说一声“科学上是这么说的”,对方就不作声了。
但是,很久以来,科学界一直承认“欺骗因素”的存在,即许多科学家倾向于将数据加工以获取想要得到的结果。在当今科学界的几乎每一个有争议的领域,种族与智力的论战,核能的辩论等等,都可以见到这种倾向。
因此,我们既要倾听“科学”对事物的看法,又不能毫不怀疑地接受。

问答题(66) High unemployment rates, especial among young workers, have led to protests in countries as varied as Latvia, Chile, Greece, Bulgaria and Iceland and contributed to strikes in Britain and France. (67) Last month, the government of Iceland, that economy is expected to contract 10 percent this year, collapsed and (68) the prime minister moved up national elections after weeks of protests by Icelanders angering by soaring unemployment and rising process. Just last week, the new United States director of national intelligence, Dennis C. Blair, told Congress that (69) instability caused by the global economical crisis had become the biggest security threat facing the United States, outpacing terrorism. (70) In emerging economies like those in Eastern Europe, there are fears that growing joblessness might encourage a move from free-market, pro-Western policies, (71) while in developed countries unemployment could bolster efforts to protect local industries in the expense of global trade. (72) Indeed, some European stimulus packages, as well one passed Friday in the United States, include protections for domestic companies, increasing the likelihood of protectionist trade battles. (73) Protectionist measures were an intense matter of discussion as finance minister from the Group of 7 economies met this weekend in Rome. (74) While the number of jobs in the United States have been falling since the end of 2007, the pace of layoffs in Europe, Asia and the developing world has caught up only recently (75) as in companies that resisted deed cuts in the past follow the lead of their American counterparts.
问答题
In the long period from 1500 to 1800, western European
nation-states were all influenced by a set of ideas. known as mercantilism.
(111) {{U}}Mercantilist doctrine and institutions were important because they were
held by practical businesspeople and heads of stare who strongly influenced
public policy and institutional change.{{/U}} The primary aim of
mercantilists was to achieve power and wealth for the state. To generate an
inflow of gold or silver through trade, the value of exports should exceed the
value of imports. And the state could attain great power only if political and
economic unity became a fact. (112) {{U}}If all the materials necessary to foster
domestic industry were not available they could best be obtained by establishing
colonies or friendly foreign trading posts from which such goods could be
imported.{{/U}} And a strong merchant marine could carry foreign goods, thereby
helping to secure favorable trade balances. (113) {{U}}Mercantilists believed that
these means of achieving national power could be made effective by the passage
and strict enforcement of legislation regulating economic life.{{/U}}
(114) {{U}}Almost as soon as Virginia tobacco began to be shipped in
commercial quantities to England, King James I levied a tax on it while agreeing
to prohibit the growth of competing tobacco in England.{{/U}} Taxes, regulation,
and subsidies were all used as mercantile policies, but the primary ones that
affected the colonies were the Navigation Acts. In 1640s,
Americans had slipped into the habit of shipping their goods directly to
continental ports, and the Dutch made great inroads into the carrying trade of
the colonies. After the Restoration, England was in a position to enforce a
strict commercial policy, beginning with the Navigation Acts of 1660 and 1663.
Despite the continued modifications to these acts by policy changes, it is
sufficient to note three primary categories of trade restriction:
(115) {{U}}All trade of the colonies was to be carried in vessels that were
English built and owned, commanded by an English captain, and manned by a crew
of whom three-quarters were English.{{/U}} All foreign merchants
were excluded from dealing directly in the commerce of the English colonies.
They could engage in colonial trade only through England and merchants resident
there. Certain commodities produced in the colonies could be
exported only to England (essentially any destination within the Empire). These
"enumerated" goods included sugar, tobacco, cotton, indigo, ginger and so
on.
