You've had a problem, you've thought about it till you were
tired, forgotten it and perhaps slept on it, and then flash! When you weren't
thinking about it suddenly the answer has come to you, as a gift from the
gods. Of course all ideas don't come like that, but the
interesting thing is that so many do, particularly the most important ones. They
burst into the mind, glowing with the heat of creation. How they do is a
mystery. (46) {{U}}Psychology does not yet understand even the ordinary process of
conscious thought, but the emergence of new ideas by a "leap in thought" is
particularly intriguing, because they must have come from the somewhere.{{/U}} For
the moment let us assume that they come from the "unconscious". (47){{U}}This is
reasonable, for the psychologists use this term to describe mental processes
which are unknown to the subject, and creative thought consists precisely in
what was unknown becoming known.{{/U}} (48) {{U}}It seems that all
truly creative activity depends in some degree on these signals from the
unconscious, and the more highly intuitive the person, the sharper and more
dramatic the signals become.{{/U}} But growth requires a seed, and
the heart of the creative process lies in the production of the original fertile
nucleus from which growth can proceed. (49) {{U}}This initial step in all creation
consists in the establishment of a new unity from disparate elements, of order
out of disorder, of shape from what was formless.{{/U}} The mind achieves this by
the plastic reshaping, so derived from a new unit, of a selection of the
separate elements derived from experience and stored in memory. Intuitions arise
from richly unified experience. (50) {{U}}This process of the
establishment of new form must occur in pattern of nervous activity in the
brain, lying below the threshold of consciousness, which interacts and combines
to form more comprehensive patterns.{{/U}} Experimental physiology has not yet
identified this process, for its methods are as yet insufficiently refined, but
it may be significant that a quarter of the total bodily consumption of energy
during sleep goes to the brain, even when the sense organ are at rest, to
maintain the activity of ten thousand million brain cells. These cells, acting
together as a single organ, achieve the miracle of the production of new
patterns of thought. No calculating machine can do that, for such machines can
"only do what we know how to design them to do", and these formative brain
processes obey laws which are still unknown. Can any practical
conclusions be drawn from the experience of genius? Is there an art of thought
for the ordinary person? Certainly there is no single road to success; in the
world of the imagination each has to find his own way to use his own gift.
问答题World Trade Organization (WTO) is an international body that promotes and enforces the provisions of trade laws and regulations. 46)The World Trade Organization has the authority to administer and police new and existing free trade agreements, to oversee world trade practices, and to settle trade disputes among member states. The WTO 'was established in 1994 when the members of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ( GATT), a treaty and international trade organization, signed a new trade pact. The WTO was created to replace GATT. The WTO began operation on January 1, 1995. GATT and the WTO coexisted until December 1995, when the members of GATT met for the last time. Although the WTO replaced GATT. the trade agreements established by GATT in 1994 are part of the WTO agreement. However, the WTO has a significantly broader scope than GATT. GATT regulated trade in merchandise. 47)The WTO expanded the GATT agreement to include trade in services, such as international telephone service, and protections for intellectual property -- that is, creative works that can be protected legally, such as sound recordings and computer programs. The WTO is also a formally structured organization whose rules are legally binding on its member states. The organization provides a framework for international trade law. 48)Members can refer trade disputes to the WTO where a dispute panel composed of WTO officials serves as arbitrator. Members can appeal this panel's rulings to a WTO appellate body whose decisions are final. Disputes must be resolved within the time limits set by WTO rules. As of 1996 almost all of the 123 nations that had signed the new GATT pact had transferred membership to the WTO, including the United States. About 30 other nations had also applied for membership. 49)The WTO is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and is controlled by a general council made up of member states' ambassadors who also serve on various subsidiary and specialist committees. The ministerial conference, which meets every two years and appoints the WTO's director- general, oversees the General Council. Renato Ruggiero, a former Italian trade minister, became the first full-time director-general of the WTO in May 1995. 50) The agreements that the WTO will administer are expected to increase annual world trade by at least $ 755 billion by the year 2002.

For a long time psychoanalysis was the only formalized
psychotherapy practiced in Western society. It was this type of therapy that
gave rise to the classic picture of a bearded Viennese doctor seated behind a
patient who is lying on a couch. Psychoanalysis is based on the
theories of Sigmund Freud. (46) {{U}}According to Freud's views, psychological
disturbances are due to anxiety about hidden conflicts in the unconscious parts
of one's personality; therefore, one of the psychoanalysts job is to help make
the patients aware of the unconscious impulses, desires, and fears that are
causing the anxiety.{{/U}} Psychoanalysts believe that if patients can understand
their unconscious motives, they have taken, the first step toward gaining
control of their problems. Such understanding is called insight.
Psychoanalysis is a slow procedure. It may take years of fifty-minute
sessions several times a week before the patient is able to make fundamental
changes in her life. (47) {{U}}Throughout this time, the analyst assists his
patient in a complete examination of the unconscious motives behind her
behavior.{{/U}} This task begins with the analyst telling the patient to relax and
talk about everything that comes into her mind. This method is called free
association. As the patient lies on the couch, she may describe
her dreams, discuss private thoughts, or recall long-forgotten experiences. The
psychoanalyst often says nothing for long periods of time. (48) {{U}}The
psycho-analyst also occasionally makes remarks or asks questions that guide the
patient, or he may suggest an unconscious motive or factor that explains
something the patient has been talking about, but most of the work is done by
the patient herself.{{/U}} Psychoanalysis has sometimes been
criticized for being" all talk and no action." In behavior therapy there is much
more emphasis on action. (49) {{U}}Rather than spending a large amount of time
going into the patient's past history or the details of his or her dreams, the
behavior therapist concentrates on finding out what is specifically wrong with
the patient's current life and takes steps to change it.{{/U}} The idea behind
behavior therapy is that a disturbed person is one who has learned to behave in
the wrong way. The therapist's job, therefore, is to "reeducate" the patient.
(50) {{U}}The reasons for the patient's undesirable behavior are not important;
what is important is to change the patient's behavior which is formed and
reinforced in stressed environment and to establish new patterns of behavior for
the patient.{{/U}} One technique used by behavior therapists is
systematic recovery. This method is used to overcome irrational fears and
anxieties the patient has learned. The goal of systematic recovery therapy is to
encourage people to imagine the feared situation while relaxing. Having been
taught how to relax, the patient learns to think about the past experience
without being afraid. During this process, the therapist attempts to replace
anxiety with its opposite, relaxation.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text carefully and then translate
the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly
on the ANSWER SHEET. One of the hallmarks
of our anxieties about the future is confusion over how to prepare young people
for it. What is it that we are supposed to be educating students for?
{{U}}{{U}} 1 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}We know that today's young people will, during
their lifetimes, face multiple changes in jobs, and we assume that their future
will be shaped by technologies that we cannot yet imagine{{/U}}. But when we try
to translate these observations into what elementary and secondary schools
should be doing, the result is usually a rehash of tired old
complaints. If we are ever to break out of this cycle, we are
going to need some very big ideas. Egan, a professor of education at Simon
Fraser University, recognizes the temptation to place blame for schools'
failures on incompetent teachers and simple-minded politicians, but he wants a
deeper and more useful explanation. {{U}}{{U}} 2 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}The key to
obtaining such an explanation lies in addressing the problematic yet
unchallenged assumptions that trap today's debate in an endless cycle of
frustration{{/U}}. Drawing on evolutionary psychology and
cognitive science, Egan outlines three widely accepted schools of thought about
the goals of education. The first takes education to be a matter of socializing
humans into the membership of nations and other collectives. {{U}}{{U}}
3 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}"Governments are in the business of schooling" for this
reason, but socialization is pursued at a cost because "making requirements
uniform will always be at odds with the ambitions of our imaginations{{/U}}."
Indeed, if the goal of socialization is pursued too assiduously, we call it
indoctrination-at least when others do it. With the emergence
of literacy in human history came a second big goal for education: Plato's
academic ideal. {{U}}{{U}} 4 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}Mastering the new forms of coded
knowledge that came with literacy has become the purpose of much of contempoary
education and, for better or for worse, underlies much of the testing that now
shapes it{{/U}}. The third is the "developmental" idea, through which
education is viewed as "supporting the fullest achievement of the natural
process of mental development." Like the blind men who
encounter an elephant, these ideas bring limited perspectives to the discussion.
Worse yet, they bring views that often stand in direct contradiction to one
another. {{U}}{{U}} 5 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}As he puts it: "There is no mind in the
brain until the brain interacts with the external symbolic stone of culture, "
and in such interaction, the possibilities for innovation live as
well{{/U}}.

{{U}}46. The American sociologist Talcott Parsons believed that
the two most important functions of the modern family are the primary
socialization of children and the stabilization of adult personalities through
marriage and the raising of children.{{/U}} His own concern was particularly with
the middle-class American family, but these important aspects of family life are
also applicable much more widely. In the present context it is worthwhile to
look especially at primary socialization. {{U}}47. Primary
socialization refers to the training of children during their earliest years,
whereas secondary socialization refers to later influences on the development of
the child's personality and learning activities, such as his involvement with
teachers and with other children at school.{{/U}} Primary socialization is in most
societies carried out essentially within the family as part of child rearing. In
the modern family, parents take responsibility for raising and teaching their
children such basic things as language and correct behavior. Toilet training,
teaching children how to eat correctly, and encouraging children to get along
with others are all aspects of child rearing. However, it is not only these more
mundane aspects of behavior that children learn. Children are also implicitly
encouraged to develop the values of the parents and of tile society in which
they live. In American society, which was Parsons' main concern, these values
include independence, motivation for achievement, and competition. In other
societies, different values, such as cooperation and egalitarianism, may be
stressed. {{U}}48. Yet the principle behind primary socialization in different
societies is the same: the development of social values must be achieved in an
environment of love and security, as is found in the ideal family anywhere in
the world.{{/U}} However, few families are ideal. Studies of the
families of emotionally disturbed children have shown that unsatisfactory
relationships between husbands and wives can have detrimental effects on
children. Sometimes a child is used as a scapegoat. The parents
blame or even physically abuse the child in order to cover up their own
difficulties. {{U}}49. In such a ease, the child often fails to develop the values
the parents wish to instill in him, developing instead antisocial habits leading
to deviant behavior in later life.{{/U}} Indeed, the cycle may be repeated if such
a person in time marries, has a family of his own, and treats his children in
the same way. Nonetheless, there is no reason to suppose that all children of
unsatisfactory marriages are treated in such a way or fail to overcome the
difficulties they have as children. {{U}}50. Some social
scientists have even suggested that the isolated nuclear family, as it exists in
Western industrialized societies, is to blame for the social ills found in those
societies.{{/U}} They claim that in the past more support was offered from the
wider kin network and from the community as a whole -- as is still the case in
less-developed parts of the world, The British psychiatrists R. D. Laing and
David Cooper suggested that the modern family is dysfunctional in that, by its
very nature, it forces upon children an undue emphasis on obedience to
authority. These negative viewpoints aside, most experts as well as most parents
agree that the primary socialization process in the modern family offers
benefits both t6 the child and to the parents.
