问答题Governments throughout the world act on the assumption that the welfare of their people depends largely on the economic strength and wealth of the community. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Under modern conditions, this requires varying measures of centralized control and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational research experts. {{/U}}{{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Furthermore, it is obvious that the strength of a country's economy is directly bound up with the efficiency of its agriculture and industry, and that this in turn rests upon the efforts of scientists and technologists of all kinds. {{/U}}It also means that governments are increasingly compelled to interfere in these sectors in order to step up production and ensure that it is utilized to the best advantage. For example, they may encourage research in various ways, including the setting up of their own research centers; they may alter the structure of education, or interfere in order to reduce the wastage of natural resources or tap resources hitherto unexploited; or they may cooperate directly in the growing number of international projects related to science, economics and industry. In any case, all such interventions are heavily dependent on scientific advice and also scientific and technological manpower of all kinds. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Owing to the remarkable development in mass-communications, people everywhere are feeling new wants and are being exposed to new customs and ideas, while governments are often forced to introduce still further innovations for the reasons given above.{{/U}} At the same time, the normal rate of social change throughout the world is taking place at a vastly accelerated speed compared with the past. For example, {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}in the early industrialized countries of Europe the process of industrialization—with all the far-reaching changes in social patterns that followed—was spread over nearly a century, whereas nowadays a developing nation may undergo the same process in a decade or so.{{/U}} All this has the effect of building up unusual pressures and tensions within the community and consequently presents serious problems for the governments. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Additional social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements—themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport.{{/U}} As a result of all these factors, governments are becoming increasingly dependent on biologists and social scientists for planning the appropriate programs and putting them into effect.

问答题 In these years, economic, social and technological factors have influenced the kitchens' design. 61) {{U}}Since it is often used simultaneously by both family members as well as guests, the kitchen requires not only a glamorous look but a practical one. {{/U}}Also, the design elements must meet the needs of modem family. Environmental concerns have had an enormous impact on the design of kitchens. 62) {{U}}This concern includes recycling of household materials, as well as energy efficient appliances and the purity of both water and air. {{/U}}Research shows that up to 85 percent of the population is concerned about what comes out of their tap. This is why it's important to consider adding a water filter system. 63) {{U}}The character of today's kitchen is very different from the way it was thirty years ago. There's more sophistication in food preparation, and more technological help with cooking and cleaning up. {{/U}} When choosing cabinets, first consider the style. Use the architectural style of your house as guide. Because cabinets are a big investment, it is best to choose quality. Popular styles in kitchen cabinets are framed panel doors with raised or recessed panels of wood, cabinet fronts with glass panes, or simple slab doors in a rich painted or laminated finish. Cabinet pulls, handles and knobs are offered in a myriad of designs and finishes. Treat hardware as jewelry and don't be afraid to mix and match styles. 64) {{U}}Because many of today's kitchens consist of two or more cooks sharing in the meal preparation, there is a need for more counter space, cooktops and sinks. {{/U}}Life styles are changing, but the primary function of the kitchen as an area for preparing food has remained unchanged. The sink remains one of the most used areas in the kitchen as well as an important decorative statement. Appliance technology is moving very fast. Choosing what type of appliances as well as how many will depend on several factors such as how often and how much you cook and the size of your kitchen. Don't limit yourself to one of each kind of appliance. 65) {{U}}You can have a refrigerator in one place and a freezer in a separate area or two sets of cooktops: one on the counter next to the wall oven and one on an island. {{/U}}You can even have two dishwashers if size and budget require and permit -- think of it as saving time in the long run.

问答题Read the following text(s) and write an essay to 1) summarize the main points of the text(s), 2) make clear your own viewpoints", and 3) justify your stand. In your essay, make full use of the information provided in the text(s). If you use more than three consecutive words from the text(s), use quotation marks(" "). You should write 160-200 words. We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people. We can learn about what a person is thinking by watching his or her body language. Words are important, but the way a person stands, folds his or her arms, or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings. Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. Making eye contact—looking directly into someone"s eyes—is in some countries a way to show interest. In other countries, however, eye contact is rude or disrespectful. The thumbs-up gesture, meaning "great" or "good job" in the US is rude in Nigeria, but in Germany and Japan it means the number one. The "crazy" gesture, moving the index finger in a circle in front of the ear, means "you have a phone call" in Brazil. While there are many different interpretations of our body language, some gestures seem to be universal. Pressing one"s palms together and resting one"s head on the back of one"s hand while closing the eyes as if sleeping means "I am tired." A good way of saying "I am full" is moving the hand in circles over the stomach after a meal. Perhaps the best example of universally understood body language is the smile. A smile can help us get through difficult situation and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can open doors and tear down walls. It can be used to express almost any emotion. We can use a smile to apologize, to greet someone, to ask for help or to start a conversation. We can smile at ourselves in the mirror to make ourselves feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than to see the smiling face of a good friend.
