问答题Please read the following passage and translate the underlined parts into Chinese.(40 points, 8 points each) How to Manage Time 【F1】 The belief that time is a resource that must be monitored closely and managed carefully is one of the basic laws of our time-pressed world, as is the urge to do more and do it quicker. Is it any wonder our culture favors the young and energetic? Who else can accomplish the hundreds of tasks each of us must master in a typical day, as well as process the thousand bits of information rushing at us every hour? In my workshops at Omega and around the country on time-shifting—learning how to toggle between hyperproductivity and an awareness of the world around you—the first question I pose is" Do you feel that you have enough time in your daily lives?"Invariably, more than 90 percent declare an overwhelming sense of "time-poverty"—part of an epidemic of anxiety and pressure in our society. 【F2】 Ironically, in response, methods to improve our management of time have gained in popularity, along with new, speedier technology that helps us develop greater efficiency. Yet while these initially seem to help, they ultimately serve only to increase the speed of our lives. We learn to go faster and get more done—only to take on more work and responsibility. As a result, the future arrives that much quicker, and it begins to predominate. The "now" becomes a prelude to the "next". We do this so we can get to that. We work for the weekend, rush through lunch to get back to our desks, worry about next month"s deadline before this month is completed. We divide our attention and awareness between the task at hand that we"re rushing to complete and the next item on our day-planner. So, what is needed is to come into the present moment. Instead of rushing, take your time, let your rhythm slow down. You can rush late if you need to, but for now, simply perform the task that is in front of you, whether it"s washing the dishes or commuting to work. We spend our lives waiting for the important events to take place, rushing through these" in-between" moments. Yet the reality is that these in-betweens actually make up a significant portion of our lives. Allowing ourselves to be present in them and experience them fully is what makes us alive— and helps to keep us young. This involves developing a sense of mindfulness, a way of being that puts you fully in the moment without pressure or anxiety about staying on schedule. 【F3】 It is a quality that each of us needs to learn how to cultivate more in our lives, awakening all of our senses and being comfortable in the present—to feel rooted, with no need to rush. Some will read this and wonder why they should slow down. Isn"t it okay to keep moving along with the progress of modern times? Isn"t it, in fact, necessary to do so? There really is no right or wrong answer;rather it is a question of how we feel about our lives. My experience has taught me that there is too much stress caused by the frantic pace at which most of us exist. The result is a disconnection from the world around us and our sense of being alive in it. 【F4】 People report feeling trapped, powerless to effect any meaningful change, coping as best as they can yet knowing they don"t feel the way they would like to feel. The key is to step back from the edge, learn to get involved in the process rather than constantly longing for the end result. 【F5】 This does not mean giving up our goal-oriented lives—simply modifying them, finding a balance between our productive and our emotional selves. This enables us to live as whole beings, fully alive. In response to the pace of our modern world, learning how to successfully shift time can be one of the keys to achieving both health and longevity as we continue to age.

问答题当我们从文化的视角放眼全球之际，对本土文化的认同与对未来发展方向的选择成为首要问题。什么是中华文明的优良传统?什么是当今世界上的先进文化?只有把这些放到人类文明发展的大背景下，放到全球多元文化的大视野中，才能得出结论。回首人类文明的产生与交往历史，东西方文化的差异与冲突不容回避。长期以来人们热衷于讨论中西文化孰优孰劣，究竟谁是先进或落后，但对其各自的渊源与特征却不甚明了，对文化差异与冲突的根本性质也缺乏认识。因此，我们更需要进行一番扎实的追本溯源工作，才能拥有自己的发言权。
