问答题81. By now it's hardly news that as education has risen to the top of the national agenda, a great wave of school reform has focused on two related objectives: more-stringent academic standards and increasingly rigorous accountability for both students and schools. 82. In state after state, legislatures, governors, and state boards, supported by business leaders, have imposed tougher requirements in math, English, science, and other fields, together with new tests by which the performance of both students and schools is to be judged. In some places students have already been denied diplomas or held back in grade if they failed these tests. 83. In some states funding for individual schools and for teachers' and principals' salaries -- and in some, such as Virginia, the accreditation of schools -- will depend on how well students do on tests. More than half the states now require tests for student promotion or graduation. But a backlash has begun. 84. In Virginia this spring parents, teachers, and school administrators opposed to the state's Standard of Learning assessments, established in 1998, inspired a flurry_ of bills in the legislature that called for revising the tests of their status as unavoidable hurdles for promotion and graduation. One bill would also have required that each new member of the sate board of education "take the eighth grade Standards of Learning assessments in English, mathematics, science, and social sciences" and that "the results of such assessments.., be publicly reported." 85. None of the bills passed, but there's little doubt that if the system isn't revised and the state's high failure rates don't decrease by 2004, when the first Virginia senior may be denied diplomas, the political pressure will intensify. Meanwhile, some parents are talking about Massachusetts-style boycotts.

问答题Once you've written down all your goals, both large and small, the next step on your journey to success is to activate the creative powers of your subconscious mind by reviewing your list two or three times every day. Take time to read your list of goals. Read the list one goal at a time. Close your eyes and picture each goal as if it were already accomplished. Take a few more seconds to feel what you would feel if you had already accomplished each goal. Following this daily discipline of success will activate the power of your desire. It increases what psychologists refer to as "structural tension" in your brain. Your brain wants to close the gap between your current reality and the vision of your goal. By constantly repeating and visualizing your goal as already achieved, you will be increasing this structural tension. This will increase your motivation, stimulate your creativity, and heighten your awareness of resources that can help you achieve your goal.

问答题Professional literatures have been regarded as "intangible assets" of the whole world because they are, on one hand, the summary, generalization, and development of the achievement obtained on the basis of previous experiences or studies, and on the other hand, they have been accumulated and handed down from generation to generation. In this sense, therefore, all kinds of literatures are records of previous research findings and academic achievements, and crystallization of human civilization.

问答题 Exactly where we will stand in the long war against disease by the year 2050 is impossible to say. (111) {{U}}But if developments in research maintain their current pace, it seems likely that a combination of improved attention to dietary and environmental factors, along with advances in gene therapy and protein-targeted drags, will have virtually eliminated most major classes of disease.{{/U}} From an economic standpoint, the best news may be that these accomplishments could be accompanied by a drop in health-care costs. (112) {{U}}Costs may even fall as diseases are brought under control using pinpointed, short term therapies now being developed.{{/U}} By 2050 there will be fewer hospitals, and surgical procedures will be largely restricted to the treatment of accidents and other forms of trauma (外伤). Spending on nonacute (慢性病的) care, both in nursing facilities and in homes, will also fall sharply as more elderly people lead healthy lives until close to death. One result of medicine's success in controlling disease will be a dramatic increase in life expectancy. (113) {{U}}The extent of that increase is a highly, speculative matter, but it is worth noting that medical science has already helped to make the very old (currently defined as those over 85 years of age) the fastest growing segment of the population.{{/U}} Between 1960 and 1995, the U. S. population as a whole increased by about 45%, while the segment over 85 years of age grew by almost 300%. (114) {{U}}There has been a similar explosion in the population of centenarians, with the result that survival to the age of 100 is no longer the newsworthy feat that it was only a few decades ago.{{/U}} U. S. Census Bureau projections already forecast dramatic increase in the number of centenarians in the next 50 years: 4 million in 2050, compared with 37, 000 in 1990. (115) {{U}}Although Census Bureau calculations project an increase in average life span of only eight years by the year 2050, some experts believe that the human life span should not begin to encounter any theoretical natural limits before 120 years.{{/U}} With continuing advances in molecular medicine and a growing understanding of the aging process, that limit could rise to 130 years or more.

问答题Write an essay on Water Shortage in China and Suggestions on Remedies. The article below can be used to support your writing in facts and certain remedies. 2) Not less than 150 words. Water Crisis Looming for China Surging water consumption in China's growing cities and towns, coupled with reckless industrial and agricultural use, is straining the nation's already strapped water supplies, the government and several international organizations warn. China's water resources amount to the fifth-largest in the world, and its winding rivers have cradled civilizations for over five millennia. But with the country's population swelling to 1.3 billion, many of China's rivers, including the legendary Yellow River, are drying up, and the water table is falling. The international groups say dwindling water supplies could disrupt China' s food security, public health, environment, and economic growth. "China's problem is "brown" poverty. If you look at a map, large swaths of the country are totally brown nothing can grow there," said Deepak Bhattasali, the World Bank' s chief economist in Beijing. "If this brown spreads, so will hunger, and industrial growth will slow. The country's annual per capital water supply is only 2,200 cubic meters, 25% of the global average, according to the World Bank. The government says that by 2030, the water supply is expected to fall below 1,700 cubic meters per person, which the World Bank calls dangerously low. During the same period, water demand is expected to more than triple, from 120 billion tons a year to 400 billion tons. Using uncharacteristically strong language, the World Bank recently warned that the situation "will soon become unmanageable, with catastrophic consequences for future generations." China does not act like a nation in the midst of a water shortage, Taps run freely because the government subsidizes water supplies, especially to farmers. For industry, China' s water consumption efficiency is one-tenth that of developed countries. And only a fraction of China' s industrially used water is recycled, mostly because local governments are loath to burden local firms with costly recycling roles. A senior Chinese official in charge of water resources has said China loses more than 30 billion cubic meters of water every year, causing a $28 billion loss in industrial output. But he says he is committed to making the tough decisions needed to correct the situation. Water conservation and recycling programs are being introduced, and the government has said it will raise the price of water supplied to farmers and industry. Steps are being taken to curb rapid deforestation and soil erosion across the country. Hydropower, which creates large evaporating reservoirs, is increasingly being complemented with wind power. China is on track to generate 10% of its power from wind and solar energy by 2010. Programs to desalinate seawater using solar energy are also in place in several cities. But none of this is likely to be enough, analysts say. Lester Brown of the World watch Institute, an environmental watchdog based in Washington, D.C. warns that China's water problems will have global repercussions. Brown calculates that shortages will cut China's annual agricultural output by 9 million tons, forcing it to buy grain. This will push up world food prices.

问答题Washington Irving grasped this fact nearly a hundred years ago when he wrote: "The stranger who would form a correct opinion of English character must go forth into the country. He must sojourn in villages and hamlets; he must visit castles, villas, farmhouses, cottages; he must wander through parks and gardens, along hedges and green lanes; he must loiter about country churches, attend wakes and fairs and other rural festivals, and cope with me people in all their conditions and all their habits and humors.

问答题The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term. Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. in most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths o5 the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.

问答题A journal's reputation may not tell the complete story about its impact on the scholarly community. In fact, a study on social science journals suggests quite the opposite. Their research showed that there is a nonlinear relationship between a journal's reputation and its impact, especially at the extremes of the prestige scale. They conclude that citation data "permit scholars to evaluate the importance of journals based not on Opinion but on the frequency of citations" and that "frequency of citation implies scholarly acceptance, or at least acknowledgment of importance through utilization of others' work." The researchers go on to mention that "journals have prestige, but their prestige is only derived from the usefulness of the articles they publish./

问答题Reading the following passage carefully and then write a summary of it in English in about 120 words. The success of failure of a company abroad depends on how effectively its employees can exercise their skills in a new location. That ability will depend on both their job-related expertise and the individual's sensitivity and responsiveness to the new cultural environment. One of the most common factors contributing to failure in international business assignments is the erroneous assumption that if a person is successful in the home environment, he or she will be equally successful in applying technical expertise in a different culture. Research has shown that failures in the overseas business setting most frequently result from an inability to understand and adapt to foreign ways of thinking and acting rather than from technical or professional incompetence. At home U. S business people equip themselves with vast amount of knowledge of their employees, customers, and business partners. Market research provides detailed information on values, attitudes, and buying preferences of U. S consumers; middle-and-upper-level managers are well versed in the intricacies of their organization's culture; and labor negotiators must be highly sensitive to what motivates those on the other side of the table. Yet when North Americans turn to the International arena, they frequently are willing to deal with customers, employees, and fellow workers with a lack of information that at home would be unimaginable. The literature on international business if filled with examples of business miscues when U. S. corporations attempted to operate in an international context. Some are mildly amusing. Others are downright embarrassing. All of them, to one degree or another, have been costly in terms of money, reputation, or both. For example, when American firms try to market their products in other countries, they often assume that if a marketing strategy or slogan is effective in Cleveland, it will be equally effective in other parts of the world. But problems arise when cultural context changes. Just as inattention to the cultural context can result in some costly blunders in marketing and management, it also can affect seriously the success of international business negotiation. Time, effort, reputation, and even contracts can be lost because of cultural ignorance. The world is changing faster than most of us can calculate, and if American businesspersons are to meet the challenges of an increasingly interdependent world, they will need to develop a better understanding of how cultural variable influence international business enterprises. A healthy dialogue between cultures and members of the international business community will be an important step in achieving that needed understanding.
