问答题It is interesting to reflect for a moment upon the differences in the areas of moral feeling and standards in the peoples of Japan and the United States. (81) Americans divide these areas somewhat rigidly into spirit and flesh, the two beings in opposition in the life of a human being. Ideally spirit should prevail but all too often it is the flesh that does prevail. (82) The Japanese make no such division, at least between one as good and the other as evil. They believe that a person has two souls: one is the "gentle" soul; the other is the "rough" soul. Sometimes the person uses his gentle soul; sometimes he must use his rough soul. He does not favor his gentle soul; neither does he fight his rough soul. (83) Human nature in itself is good, Japanese philosophers insist, and a human being does not need to fight any part of himself. He has only to learn how to use each soul properly at appropriate times. Virtue for the Japanese consists in fulfilling one's obligations to others. (84) Happy endings, either in life or in fiction, are neither necessary nor expected, since the fulfillment of duty provides the satisfying end, whatever the tragedy it inflicts. And duty includes a person's obligations to those who have conferred benefits upon him and to himself as an individual of honor. He develops through this double sense of duty a self-discipline which is at once permissive and rigid, depending upon the area in which it is functioning. The process of acquiring this self-discipline begins in childhood. Indeed, one may say it begins at birth—how early is the Japanese child given his own identity! (85) If I were to define in a word the attitude of the Japanese toward their children I would put it in one succinct word "respect." Love? Yes, abundance of love warmly expressed from the moment he is put to his mother's breast. For mother and child this nursing of her child is important psychologically.

问答题There are cockroaches (蟑螂) everywhere on Earth except the places
that are covered with ice. Scientists have discovered about 3,500 different
species of cockroach. There is just one human species! Cockroaches can be
anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small,
nine cm is as long as a large rat. It is very difficult to
catch most cockroaches. They "see" with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs
can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately
something moves, and run to safety. Of all the species of
cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem.
They are the German, the Oriental, and the American. One egg case of the German
cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12
months! Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do
they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases. They are particularly
dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hospital waste or get it on
their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous
bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital.
Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the
stomachs of cockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches should be kept out
of restaurants and other places where food is prepared. Many
people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of
doing it, the cockroaches "learn" how to deal with it. Electricity does not
always kill them and they can avoid most poisons or "learn" how to deal with
others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they
have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as
much as it does us. It seems probable that when there are no
longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be
here. Answer the following questions according to the
passage.

问答题Engineers and designers are already designing craft capable of propelling us beyond Earth"s orbit, the Moon and the planets. They"re designing interstellar spaceships capable of travel across the vast emptiness of deep space to distant stars and new planets in our unending quest to conquer and discover. Our Universe contains over a billion galaxies; star cities each with a hundred billion inhabitants. Around these stars must exist planets and perhaps life. The temptation to explore these new realms is too great.

问答题Reuters: the Business of News One of the world's biggest suppliers of news and financial information, Reuters Group PLC, has a worldwide network of 2000 journalists and provides news stories, photographs and videos to newspapers, televisions and Internet sites. Although it is better known as a press agency, Reuters in fact makes most of its profits through promoting financial information such as currency rates and stock prices to bankers and investors all over the world. The history of Reuters goes hand in hand with improvements in communication technology. Reuters was established by Paul Julius Reuter-originally a bookseller in Germany. He set up a service using carrier pigeons to fly stock prices between Aachen in Germany, where the German telegraph line ended, and Brussels in Belgium, where the Belgian telegraph line began. In 1851, London had an important place in the global telegraphic network, because of which Reuter moved into an office near the London stock exchange from where he supplied investors in London and Paris with stock prices over the new Dover-Calais telegraph line. He expanded the service to include news items and had offices throughout Europe by the late 1850s. As overland and undersea cables were laid, the business of Reuters expanded to the Far East in 1872 and South America in 1874. Its reputation also grew with a number of scoops. For example, Reuters was the first in Europe to announce President Lincoln's death in 1865. Reuter retired in 1872 and the company changed its name to Reuters Ltd. In 1923, Reuters began to use teleprinters to distribute news to London newspapers and to supply news to Europe. After the growing pressure from the British government for Reuters to serve British interests, the company was restructured in 1941 in order to maintain its independence as agency. (69) At the same time, in the face of competition from American agencies after World War Two, Reuters expanded its financial information services. In 1964, Reuters introduced Stockmaster, which transmitted stock information from around the world onto computer screens. In 1973, the launch of the Reuters monitor created an electronic marketplace for foreign currency by displaying currency rates in real time. Reuters expanded this to include news and other financial information. This was followed by the Reuters monitor dealing service in 1981, which allowed foreign currency traders to trade directly from their own computers. In the 1990s, Reuters continued to develop information systems, including multimedia and online services. It bought a number of companies, including a television company which was called Reuters Television, which provides news, sports, business and entertainment via satellite to broadcasters in more than 90 countries. (70) Today's Reuters is still based on its Trust Principles, which state that news and information from the company must be independent and free from bias. Reuters'journalists have to provide accurate and clear descriptions of events so that individuals, organizations and governments can make their own decisions based on facts. Answer the following questions according to the passage.1.How does Reuters get most of its money?
