问答题Mary Barra made history last year when she became the first woman to lead the development of new ears and trucks at General Motors, the world"s largest automaker. In January, Virginia Rometty took over as CEO of IBM, the first woman to head the technology giant in its 101-year history. 11 These milestones in male-dominated industries are raising new questions about women"s advancement in the workplace. Does the glass ceiling still exist, or is it an outdated metaphor that fails to acknowledge the progress women have made? 12 Nearly three decades after the introduction of the glass ceiling metaphor, many women say the glass ceiling is very much intact, pointing to the data that show women last year held just 14 percent of all executive officer positions at Fortune 500 companies. But others disagree, citing advances made by women in recent years. And some contend that the glass ceiling should be replaced by a different metaphor. When asked if a glass ceiling still exists for women, Barra said, "I don"t think so. I"ve never seen it or felt it in my career. "She acknowledged the small percentage of women in top executive positions but said she expects the situation will improve, noting that"it"s just a matter of time." Linda Carli, a psychology professor at Wellesley College and an expert on genderdiscrimination, sees things differently. 13 She said women still face major workplace hurdles, but she wouldn"t describe them as a glass ceiling. She thinks a labyrinth is a better metaphor. 14 "There are women getting to very high places, and yet the rest of us are still floundering," Carli said. 15 No matter where you stand on the issue of a glass ceiling, there"s no denying that women are underrepresented in the top ranks of corporate America.

问答题A few years ago, the rich world's worry about economic interaction with developing countries was that the poor could not profit from it. So unbalanced were the terms of exchange between the North's mighty industries and the South's weakling sweatshops that trade between the two could be nothing more than exploitation of the one by the other; far from helping the poor countries, global integration would actually deepen their poverty. This fear has now given way to a pessimism that is equal and opposite--namely, that trade with the developing world will impoverish today's rich countries. This new fear is more dangerous than-the old one. The earlier scare tacitly affirmed that the, industrial countries would suffer if they cut heir links with the third world. Starting from there, campaigning in the North to restrict trade with developing countries was going to be an uphill struggle. Those who oppose deeper economic integration now have a better platform. Vital interests oblige the rich countries to protect their industries from the new competition. Unlike its predecessor, this idea may sell. The new fear, like the old one, expresses the conviction that growth in one part of the world must somehow come at the expense of another. This is a deeply rooted prejudice, and plainly wrong. Very nearly all of the world is more prosperous now than it was 30 years ago. Growth has been a story of mutual advance. Lending useful support to this first error is a second--the idea that there is only so much work to go round. If new technologies make some jobs obsolete, or if an increase in the supply of cheap imports makes other jobs uneconomic ,the result must be a permanent rise in unemployment. Again, on a moment's reflection, this is wrong. At the core of both errors is blindness to the adaptive power of a market economy.

问答题The onrush of cheap communications, powerful computers and the Internet all ex plain why many people feel that, nowadays, change is happening ever more rapidly as technological progress accelerates. Moore's law, that the power of microchips doubles every 18 months, has been tested and found correct. This is what gives people the sense of a world shifting beneath their feet.

问答题另一个文化差异是中国人传统上爱面子、讲形式、重礼貌。在对比美国人待人接物时，他们并不经常谈论丢脸、得脸、赏脸的事。美国人关心名誉，他们的确想到了“体面”，并使别人“显得体面”。无论如何，在日常交往上，他们更注重实质方面，而不介意一个特殊行动将使某人丢脸或得脸。像个人身份地位这样的问题，在中国之所以重要是因为他想的是面子，但美国人则认为面子不如实质那么重要。

问答题一位研究人员指出，你在情人节亲吻爱人时多半会把头转向右侧，这是一种胎儿期的偏好造成的。 德国鲁尔大学的奥纳报告说，他在德国、土耳其和美国的公共场所窥视124对情侣，看他们在亲嘴时会偏向左边还是右边，结果发现其中2/3的人会将头向右偏。 奥纳在《自然》杂志上说，此前的研究表明胎儿在妊娠的最后几周及刚出生的半年中也倾向于把头靠向右边而不是左边。 因此，对亲吻的调查结果说明早期的头部转向偏好可能影响到了成人期的行为。他说，人们用右脚、右耳和右眼的机会差不多比用左脚、左耳和左眼多一倍。说明这些行为偏好可能也与此相关。 不过，惯用右手的人在人群中的优势却要大得多，他们与左撇子的比例大约是8:1，可见，左右手偏好要么与前述偏好没有关联，要么就是受到了文化的影响。 奥纳在机场、火车站、沙滩以及公园里观察情侣们亲吻，他估计这些人的年龄在13～70岁之间。

问答题The nuclear energy is released at the Sun's center as high-energy gamma radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation like light and radio waves, only of very' much shorter wavelength. This gamma radiation is absorbed by atoms inside the Sun, to/be re-emitted at slightly longer wavelengths. This radiation, in its turn, is absorbed and re-emitted. As the energy filters through the layers of the solar interior, it passes through the X-ray part of the spectrum, eventually becoming light. At this stage, it has reached what we call the solar surface, and can escape into space, without being absorbed further by solar atoms. A very small fraction of the Sun's light and heat is emitted in such directions that, after passing unhindered through interplanetary space, it hits the Earth. 2. It is uncontroversially true that things might have been otherwise than they are. I believe, and so do you, that things could have been different in countless ways. But what does this mean? Ordinary language permits the paraphrase: there are many ways things could have been besides the way they actually are. On the face of it, this sentence is an existential quantification. It says that there exist many entities of a certain description, to wit, "ways things could have been". I prefer to call them possible worlds. 3. An observer from another planet might well be struck by the disparity between the enormous power which our age has concentrated in its external life and the inner poverty which our art seeks to expose to view. This is, after all, the age that has all.

问答题I was visiting New York last week and noticed something I'd never thought I'd say about the city. Yes, nightlife is pretty much dead (and I'm in no way the first to notice that). But day life was also a little different. It was quieter. As I looked across the throngs on the pavements, I began to see why. There were little white wires hanging down from their ears, or tucked into pockets, purses or jackets. The eyes were a little vacant. (81) Each was in his or her own musical world, walking to their soundtrack, stars in their own music video, almost oblivious to the world around them. These are the iPod people. Even without the white wires you can tell who they are. (82) They walk down the street in their own MP3 cocoon bumping into others, deaf to small social cues, shutting out anyone not in their bubble. (83) Every now and again some start unconsciously emitting strange tuneless squawks, like a badly tuned radio, and their fingers snap or their arms twitch to some strange soundless rhythm. When others say "Excuse me" there's no response. "Hi", ditto. It's strange to be among so many people and hear so little. Except that each one is hearing so much. Yes, I might as well own up. I'm one of them. I witnessed the glazed New York looks through my own glazed pupils, my white wires peeping out of my ears. I joined the cult a few years ago; the sect of the little white box worshippers. What was once an occasional musical diversion became a compulsive obsession? (84) And, like all addictive cults, it's spreading. Get on a subway and you're surrounded by a bunch of commuters staring into mid-space as if anaesthetized by technology. Don't ask, don't tell don't overhear don't observe. Just tune in and tune out. It wouldn't be so worrying if it weren't pint of something even bigger. Americans are beginning to narrow their live. (85) Technology has given us a universe for ourselves -- where the serendipity of meeting a new stranger, hearing a piece of music we would never choose for ourselves, an opinion that might force us to change our mind about something are all effectively banished. Society without the social, others who are chosen-- not met at random. Human beings have never lived this before.

问答题There is a theory among Occidentals that the Chinaman is inscrutable, full of secret thoughts, and impossible for us to understand. It may be that a greater experience of China would have brought me to share this opinion; but I could see nothing to support it during the time when I was working in that country. One of the most remarkable things about the Chinese is their power of securing the affection of foreigners. Almost all Europeans like China, both those who come only as tourists and those who live there for many years. In spite of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, I can recall hardly a single Englishman in the Far East who liked the Japanese as well as the Chinese. Those who have lived long among them tend to acquire their outlook and their standards. New arrivals are struck by obvious evils: the beggars, the terrible poverty, the prevalence of disease, the anarchy and corruption in politics. Every energetic Westerner feels at first a strong desire to reform these evils, and of course they ought to be reformed.

问答题Medical consumerism-like all sorts of consumerism, only more menadngly is designed to be unsatisfying. (51) The prolongation of life and the search for perfect health (beauty, youth, happiness) are inherently self-defeating. The law of diminishing returns necessarily applies. You can make higher percentages of people survive into their eighties and nineties. But, as any geriatric ward shows, that is not the same as to comer enduring mobility, awareness and autonomy. (52) Extending life grows medically feasible, but it is often a life deprived of everything, and one exposed to degrading neglect as resources grow over-stretched and politics turn mean. What an ignominious destiny for medicine if its future turned into one of besowing meager increments of unenjoyed life! It would mirror the fate of athletics, in which disproportionate energies and resources-not least medical ones, like illegal steroids-are now invested to shave records by milliseconds. And, it goes without saying, the logical extension of longevity-the "abolition" of death-would not be a solution but only an exacerbation. (53) To air these predicaments is not anti-medical spleen-a churlish reprisal against medicine for its victories-but simply to face the growing reality of medical power not exactly without responsibility but with dissolving goals.(54) Hence medicine's finest hour becomes the dawn of its dilemmas. For centuries, medicine was impotent and hence unproblematic. From the Greeks to the Great War, its job was simple: to struggle with lethal diseases and gross disabilities, to ensure live births, and to manage pain. It performed these uncontroversial tasks by and large with meager success. Today, with mission accomplished, medicine's triumphs are dissolving in disorientation. (55) Medicine has led to vastly inflated expectations, which the public has eagerly swallowed. Yet as these expectations grow unlimited, they become unfulfillable. The task facing medicine in the twenty-first century will be to redefine its limits even as it extends its capacities.

问答题I was deeply shocked by a Recent survey that suggested 30 per cent of job applicants embellished the truth or lied on a curriculum vitae. Can the figure really be that low? (1). I had always assumed CVs were filled with evasions, half-truths and downright untruths. But the news that merely 70 per cent of workers are honest has shaken my lack of faith in my fellow humans. The only consolation is that people often fib in anonymous surveys, just as they do on resumes, which means the real proportion may be higher. One prediction rang true from the research by the Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors. (2). It was that the incentive for falsehood is growing, as unemplogment balloons and competition for iobs rises. In coming months recruiters will therefore be bombarded with CVs making extremely misleading claims. It was the same during the downturn of the early 1990s. Then, one acquaintance obtained a graduate traineeship at a large bank by bumping his third-class degree up to a 2:1. A journalist colleague meanwhile admitted to me that his degree from a top university was entirely fictional. (3). Another contemporary explained away a gear lost to bone idleness by telling prospective employers that he had been writing a field guide to the wild flowers of the Pyrenees (比利斯山脉). I might have lied on my own CV, if an east coast Scottish upbringing had not lumbered me with the subliminal conviction that I would burn for eternity in hell if I did. (4). A company whose services include background checks on job applicants, sags that inaccuracies on CVs divide into three main groups. First, there are honest mistakes, typically made when candidates muddle dates. Second, there is deliberate fibbing about qualifications. Mr Thomas says:"A lie told 20 years ago to get a job can become part of the liar"s reality. So he tells it again when he switches jobs, even though he has become a successful finance director." Third, applicants close up suspicious gaps in their employment history. In one case investigated by Kroll, a candidate turned out to have spent a three-month gap in prison for fraud. About 65 per cent of businesses take up references for shortlisted job applicants, according to research by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. Fewer than half said they found out anything useful. (5). This is hardly surprising now that the fear of litigation prevents past employers from saying anything more revealing than: "Yes. Derek worked for us. He has a beard and knows a bit about databases." Less than 40 per cent of businesses bother to check academic and professional qualifications.
