单选题Americans are living in an argument culture. There is a pervasive warlike atmosphere that makes us approach public dialogue, and just about anything we need to accomplish, as if it were a fight. Thinking of human interactions as battles is a metaphorical frame through which we learn to regard the world and the people in it. All language uses metaphors to express ideas; some metaphoric words and expressions are novel, made up for the occasion, but more are calcified in the language. They are simply the way we think it is natural to express ideas. We don"t think of them as metaphors. When someone says, "Don"t pussyfoot around; get to the point" , there is no explicit comparison to a cat, but the comparison is there nonetheless, implied in the word "pussyfoot". I doubt that individuals using the word "pussyfoot"think consciously of cats. More often than not, we use expressions without thinking about their metaphoric implications. But that doesn"t mean those implications are not influencing us. Americans talk about almost everything as if it were a war. A book about the history of linguistics is called The Linguistics Wars. A magazine article about claims that science is not completely objective is titled The Science Wars. One about competition among caterers is" Party Wars"—and on and on in a potentially endless list. Politics, of course, is a prime candidate . One of the innumerable possible examples, the headline of a story reporting that the Democratic National Convention nominated Bill Clinton to run for a second term declares, " DEMOCRATS SEND CLINTON INTO BATTLE FOR A 2D TERM. "But medicine is as frequent a candidate, as we talk about battling and conquering disease. Why does it matter that our public discourse is filled with military metaphors? Aren"t they just words? Why not talk about something that matters—like actions? Because words matter. When we think we are using language, language is using us. As linguist Dwight Bolinger put it(employing a military metaphor), language is like a loaded gun;It can be fired intentionally, but it can wound or kill just as surely when fired accidentally. The terms in which we talk about something shape the way we think about it—and even what we see. The power of words to shape perception has been proven by researchers in controlled experiments. Psychologists Elizabeth Loftus and John Palmer, for example, found that the terms in which people are asked to recall something affect what they recall. The researchers showed subjects a film of two cars colliding, then asked how fast the cars were going; one week later, they asked whether there had been any broken glass. Some subjects were asked, " About how fast were the cars going when they bumped into each other?"Others were asked, "About how fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?"Those who read the question with the verb "smashed "estimated that the cars were going faster. They were also more likely to"remember"having seen broken glass.(There wasn"t any.) This is how language works. It invisibly molds our way of thinking about people, actions, and the world around us. Military metaphors train us to think about—and see—everything in terms of fighting, conflict, and war. This perspective then limits our imaginations when we consider what we can do about situations we would like to understand or change. In the argument culture, war metaphors pervade our talk and shape our thinking. Nearly everything is framed as a battle or game in which winning or losing is the main concern. These all have their uses and place, but they are not the only way—and often not the best way—to understand and approach our world. Conflict and opposition are as necessary as cooperation and agreement, but the scale is off balance, with conflict and opposition over-weighted.

单选题Albert Einstein"s first tour of America was an extravaganza unique in the history of science, and indeed would have been remarkable for any realm; a grand two-month processional in the spring of 1921 that evoked the sort of mass frenzy and press adulation that would thrill a touring rock star. Einstein had recently burst into global stardom when observations performed during a total eclipse dramatically confirmed his theory of relativity by showing that the sun"s gravity field bent a light beam to the degree that he had predicted. So when he arrived in New York in April, he was greeted by adoring throngs as the world"s first scientific celebrity, one who also happened to be a gentle icon of humanist values and a living patron saint for Jews. Newly published papers from that year, however, show a less joyful aspect to Einstein"s famous visit. He found himself caught in a battle between ardent European Zionists and the more polished and cautious potentates of American Jewry. The full extent of this controversy, which has been only touched upon in previous books(including a biography I wrote in 2007), is revealed in a volume of Einstein"s correspondence and papers for 1921 that was recently published by the Princeton University Press. Einstein was raised in a secular German-Jewish household, and(except for a brief fling with religious fervor as a child)he disdained religious faith and rituals. He did, however, proudly consider himself Jewish by heritage and he felt a strong kinship with what he called his fellow tribesmen or clansmen. His outlook in 1921 can be seen in the brusque answer he sent early that year to the rabbi of Berlin, who had urged him to become a dues-paying member of the Jewish religious community there. "In your letter, " he responded, "I noticed that the word Jewish is ambiguous in that it refers CD to nationality and origin, (2)to the faith. I am a Jew in the first sense, not in the second. " German anti-Semitism was on the rise. Many Jews did everything they could, including converting to Christianity, in order to assimilate, and they urged Einstein to do the same. But Einstein took the opposite approach. He began to identify even more strongly with his Jewish heritage, and he embraced the Zionist goal of promoting a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
