问答题Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. (46)These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy--so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours of this joy. (47)I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. (48) I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine... A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. (49)Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life, (50)I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

问答题The environmental and social costs of closing and rehabilitating(恢复)old and abandoned mines around the world are likely in trillions of dollars, and far beyond the capability of mining companies alone to deal with, Sir Robert Wilson, chairman of London-based metals giant Rio Tinto Plc said on Tuesday. 46)Wilson told Reuters at a mining industry conference on sustainable development in Toronto that a recent estimate puts rehabilitation costs just in the United States, where regulation is stricter than in many other countries, at $35 billion. "If you look at where the real problems are, in Russia, Eastern Europe, South Africa, India, ina, the extent of the (mine) legacy issues is normous, and it's totally beyond the capability of this industry, either financially or technically, to make a meaningful contribution to that," Wilson said. 47) "Huge" and "gigantic" were other terms being tossed around to describe the problem of old and abandoned mines at the three-day Global Mining Initiative meeting in Toronto, which is being held in preparation for the World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in August. But attempts were few at fixing an exact cost on what the industry calls "heritage issues"—the environmental destruction and tears in the social fabric left over from a 100 years of mining projects that no one has taken responsibility for. Prod they are still happening, some experts at the conference said. James Kuipers, of the U.S. Center for Science in Public Participation, which provides technical services to local and tribal governments, said his group estimates that 95 percent of operating mines in the United States have only vague plans for dealing with the environmental consequences of shutting down, such as the pollution of local water courses. 48)He said that in cases where owners have just walked away or gone bankrupt, it is the taxpayer that has been stuck with the liability. "The public no longer favors new mining in the United States, and mistrusts existing mines," he added. Wilson told Reuters that most large, established companies are able to come to terms with mine closures. Rio Tinto and several other big companies make serious provisions for environmental and social rehabilitation as the planning stages of their projects, he said. 49)"But there are some particular areas of concern for large gold operations in the United States, which have got quite a substantial environmental heritage. I know that is worrying one or two companies quite a lot in terms of the potentially very large liabilities that will be crystallized(明确)on closure. There are going to be some companies that are going to be sweating on this a bit," he said. 50) Many delegates at the conference stressed that governments must become more involved in the issues of mine closings and Kuipers suggested taxing metals consumption to help pay for the clean-up. Some said a global closure fund should be created with contributions from industry, government and institutions. But World Bank official Monika Weber Fahr, who noted that the World Bank is the No. 1 source of mine-closing finances, warned that knowing there is a back-up would encourage irresponsibility. "It should be the polluter that should be paying," she said.

To improve the teaching skills, what you need will depend on
what you want to do. Most teachers have computers, and most have at least some
access to email and the Internet. In many schools and universities, most
students do, too. Many teaching opportunities are likely to be available to you;
therefore, use equipment you and your students already have. 46){{U}}Other
techniques require more advanced technologies that you may or may not wish to
purchase on your own, and that your institution may or may not make available to
you{{/U}}. It should be obvious, therefore, that you should make no plans for
using electronic tools before making sure that both you and your students will
have access to the necessary technology. But owning, or having
access to technology is usually only a first step. Even more important is
learning how to use it. This is one of the biggest challenges facing anyone who
wishes to use electronic tools, because the knowledge is not always easy to
acquire. Many people, of course, are highly skilled in computer technology and
know how to teach themselves to do almost anything. 47) {{U}}But many other
people, who have limited computer skills, are easily intimidated by new and
unfamiliar tasks, and tend to avoid doing anything that. requires them to learn
something very different from the things to which they are accustomed{{/U}}. If
you fall in the latter group but wish to expand your ability to use electronic
tools, you need to find help. Some institutions offer extensive
assistance through their computer centers or their information technology
services. Some departments have staff members or graduate student
assistants who are hired to handle computer-related problems. There are also
many excellent reference works to help you learn about various electronic tools.
48){{U}}Just as you must be sure that you have the necessary technology at your
disposal before you decide to use electronic tools in your teaching, so you must
also make sure that you have access to the necessary hell} in learning to use
it.{{/U}} Keep in mind. finally, that the technology associated
with computers and the Internet changes with breathtaking speed. 49){{U}}Although
certain skills will remain useful to you over long periods of time, there
will be many things that will have to be relearned time and time
again{{/U}}. The rapidity of change in this field can be bewildering and
intimidating. But it is also the source of some valuable innovations that can be
of great use to you. Before introducing new teaching techniques,
therefore, it is wise to make a quick inventory of your own end your school's
electronic teaching resources. 50){{U}}You will not want to discover halfway
through a project that there are major obstacles such as insufficient equipment,
inadequate support, or inappropriate professional incentives{{/U}}.
Answering a few simple questions can help you determine how practical and
promising your planned innovations in electronic teaching are likely to be.
While some answers may lie as close as your departmental colleagues, others
might require conferring with departmental administrators, librarians, or
computer support organizations.

In a sense, the new protectionism is not protectionism at
all, at least not in the traditional sense of the term. The old protectionism
referred only to trade-restricting and trade-expanding devices, such as the
tariff or export subsidy. The new protectionism is much broader than this; it
includes interventions into foreign trade but is not limited to them. (46){{U}}
The new protectionism, in fact, refers to how the whole of government
intervention into the private economy affects international trade. The emphasis
on trade is still there, thus came the term" protection".{{/U}} But what is new is
the realization that virtually all government activities can affect
international economic relations. (47) {{U}}The emergence of the
new protectionism in the Western world reflects the victory of the
interventionist, or welfare economy over the market economy.{{/U}} Jab Tumiler
writes, "The old protectionism…, coexisted, without any apparent intellectual
difficulty with the acceptable of the market as a national as well as an
international economic distribution mechanism-indeed, protectionists as well as
(if not more than) free traders stood for laissez-faire( 放任政策).(48){{U}} Now, as
in the 1930's, protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to the
ability of the market to distribute resources and incomes to societies
satisfaction."{{/U}} It is precisely this profound skepticism of
the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism. In a market
economy, economic change of various colors implies redistributions of resources
and incomes. The same opinion in many communities apparently is that such
redistributions often are not proper. Therefore, the government intervenes to
bring about a more desired result. The victory of the welfare
state is almost complete in northern Europe. In Sweden, Norway, Finland,
Denmark, and the Netherlands, government intervention in almost all aspects of
economic and social life is considered normal. (49){{U}}In Great Britain this is
only somewhat less true. Government traditionally has played a very active role
in economic life in France and continued to do so. Only Germany dares to go
against the tide towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe.{{/U}} It
also happens to be the most successful Western European economy.
(50) {{U}}The welfare state has made significant progress in the United
Stages as well as in Western Europe. Social security, unemployment insurance,
minimum-wage laws, and rent control are by now traditional welfare state
elements on the American scene.{{/U}}

The energy contained in rock within the earth's crust
represents a nearly unlimited energy source, but until recently commercial
retrieval has been limited to underground hot water and/or steam recovery
systems. These systems have been developed in areas of recent volcanic activity,
where high rates of heat flow cause visible eruption of water in the form of
geysers and hot springs. In other areas, however, hot rock also exists near the
surface but there is insufficient water present to produce eruptive phenomena.
Thus a potential hot dry rock (HDR) reservoir exists whenever the amount of
spontaneously produced geothermal fluid has been judged inadequate for existing
commercial systems. As a result of the recent energy crisis, new
concepts for creating HDE recovery systems—which involve drilling holes and
connecting them to artificial reservoirs placed deep within the crust—are being
developed. (46){{U}} In all attempts to retrieve energy from HED's reservoir
artificial stimulation will be required to create either sufficient permeability
or bounded flow paths to facilitate the removal of heat by circulation of a
fluid over the surface of the rock.{{/U}} (47){{U}} The HDR resource
base is generally defined to include crustal rock that is hotter than 150℃, is
at depths less than ten kilometers, and can be drilled with presently available
equipment.{{/U}} Although wells deeper than ten kilometers are technically
feasible, prevailing economic factors will obviously determine the commercial
feasibility of wells at such depths. Rock temperatures as low as
100℃ may be useful for space heating; however, for producing electricity,
temperatures greater than 200℃ are desirable. The geothermal
gradient, which specifically determines the depth of drilling required to reach
a desired temperature, is a major factor in the recoverability of geothermal
resources. (48) {{U}}Temperature gradient maps generated from oil
and gas well temperature-depth records kept by the American Association of
Petroleum Geologists suggest that tapable high-temperature gradients are
distributed all across the United States. (There are many areas, however for
which no temperature gradient records exist.){{/U}} Indications
are that the HDR resource base is very large. (49){{U}} If an average geothermal
temperature gradient of 22℃ per kilometer of depth is used, a staggering
13,000,000 quadrillion B. T. U's of total energy are calculated to be contained
in crustal rock to a ten kilometer depth in the United States. {{/U}}If we
conservatively estimate that only about 0.2 percept is recoverable, we find a
total that is comparable to the estimated resource base of all the coal
remaining in the United States. (50) {{U}}The remaining problem is to balance the
economics of deeper, hotter, more costly wells and shallower, cooler, less
expensive wells against the value of the final product, electricity and/or
heat.{{/U}}
