问答题Surveys have shown that most football and basketball injuries involve the knee, either through twisting or through application of lateral force. Surgery for such injuries has become much simpler with the invention of a thin device containing a fiber optics light that can be inserted into a thin slit in the knee. Repair can be accomplished through this narrow opening. Long-distance runners also suffer knee injuries, but a more common problem for runners is stress fracture, which is a weakening of the front of the shinbone caused by overuse, with pain and possible bone cracking as the result. Ligament tears are more common in gymnastics. Almost all these conditions heal with rest. Prevention of injuries depends primarily on good conditioning. Athletes are also protected by the use of better padding materials and of face masks and eye protectors in rough sports.
The improper or illegal use of drugs and substances for the temporary improvement of athletic performance in competitions has been a frequent subject of inquiry since the 1960s, when drug misuse by athletes to gain an unfair advantage began to rise dramatically. Anabolic steroids supposedly improve strength and endurance, but they can also have harmful side effects as liver damage. Tests for drugs such as heroin and other stimulants were introduced at the Olympic Games in 1968. Anabolic steroids were not banned until 1974, when a suitable test was developed. The illegality of some drugs has not been accepted by a number of other international and national amateur athletic federations, for reasons including testing uncertainties, doubts about banning certain medicinal substances or common drugs such as caffeine, and simple lack of concern. Controversy has also arisen over the legality of the practice of "blood doping," in which an athlete receives a blood transfusion just before an event. The resulting increase in red blood cells apparently increases the athlete"s aerobic power.

Computers are having a profound effect on social behavior. 51.
{{U}}With easy access to processing power, individuals who, in every other
respect, could be regarded as good citizens now find them- selves indulging in
unethical—and even unlawful—behavior. The theft of copyright software is
widespread, while recent, well—publicized incidents of hacking, virus creation,
computer-based fraud, and invasion of privacy have been followed by a rising
chorus of calls for a new morality in computing and new laws to protect citizens
from computerized anarchy.{{/U}} 52. {{U}}In the short span of forty
years, computers have become central to the operation of com- plex societies:
Without computers and communication systems, much of manufacturing, industry,
commerce, transport and distribution, government, the military, health services,
education, and research would grind to a halt. Yet as society becomes more
dependent on computers, it also be- comes more vulnerable to the misuse of
computers by human beings.{{/U}} 53. {{U}}The very existence of
computers has created a new range of social problems or issues with which we
urgently need to grapple. These include the theft of software, the use of
computers to commit fraud, the phenomenon of hacking, sabotage in the form of
viruses, the unreliability of computers and the vulnerability of society to
system failure, computerized monitoring and theinvasion of privacy, the
excessive hyping of computers by the computer industry, and traces of
deterioration in the quality life in the computerized workplace.{{/U}}
Some of these issues are entirely new, but in other respects, computers
have merely created new versions of such "old" moral issues as right (versus
wrong) , honesty, loyalty, responsibility, confidentiality, and
fairness. 54. {{U}}Because computing is relatively new and open
field, the computer profession as such has bad neither the time nor the
organizational capability to establish a binding set of moral rules or ethics.
Older professions, like medicine and the law, have had literally centuries to
formulate their codes of conduct. And there is another problem, too: computer
usage, unlike the practice of medicine or of the law, goes outside the
profession.{{/U}} We are all computer users now, and we are all to some extent
faced with the same ethical dilemmas and conflicts of loyalty as computer
professionals. Many of these dilemmas--whether or not to copy software, for
instance--are new "grey areas" for which there is little in the way of accepted
roles or social conventions, let alone established case law.

问答题As an ecological approach to Translation Studies, Eco-translatology views translation as an entire translational eco-system, and focuses on the relationship between the translator and this translational eco- environment. A translational eco-environment is construed as a highly integrated entity that comprises the actual text, the cultural context and the human agents, as well as other tangible and intangible ingredients. In Eco-translatology, translation activities are described and interpreted in terms of such ecological principles as holism, relevance, dynamics, balance and harmony, together with ecological aesthetics. Some elements of classical Chinese or Oriental philosophies and cultural quintessence are projected in this nascent approach.
问答题Comparative historian Marc Ferro claims that the largest discrepancy in knowledge between what academic historians and what the average citizen knows about history is found in the United States. How has this situation come about? Certainly the problem does not lie with the secondary literature. Whereas in the past, American historians were handicapped by secondary literature that was clearly biased towards a European viewpoint, since the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, the secondary literature in American history has become far more comprehensive. And it cannot be simply a matter of space constraints: the average high school history textbook is well over a thousand pages in length. One theory holds that American history textbooks are simply the socializing instruments of a controlling elite. The stratification of American society is preserved, according to this theory, by the creation of what Marx termed "false consciousness. " The theory holds that the way people think about their society and their history is crucial to maintaining the status quo. If the power elites come to believe that their success is the deserved product of their hard work and ingenuity, then there will be no desire to change the system. Similarly, if the lower classes are taught that their plight is solely due to their failings, they will be more likely to accept their fate and less likely to rise up in revolution. Griffin and Marciano contend that history textbooks promote nothing more than hegemony. Many educational theorists share this viewpoint, which in their discipline is often known as critical theory. Proponents of this view, including Kozol, Freire, and Giroux, argue that the dominant classes would never create or foster an educational system that taught subordinate classes how to critically evaluate society and the injustices it contains. As long as schools serve to transmit culture, the power elite will never allow any real reform in the system.

问答题
The years between 1870 and 1895 brought enormous changes to
the theater in the United States as the resident company was undermined by
touring groups, as New York became the only major Center of production, and as
the long run replaced the repertory (库存) system. By 1870, the resident stock
company was at the peak of its development in the United States. The 50
permanent companies of 1870, however, had dwindled to 20 by 1878, to 8 by 1880,
to 4 by 1887, and had almost disappeared by 1900. While the
causes of this change are numerous, probably the most important was the rise of
the "combination" company (that is, one that travels with stars and full
company): Sending out a complete production was merely a logical extension of
touring by stars. By the 1840's many major actors were already taking along a
small group of lesser players, for they could not be sure that local companies
could supply adequate support in secondary roles. There is much
disagreement about the origin of the combination company. Bouciault claimed to
have initiated it around 1860 when he sent out a troupe with Colleen Bawn, but a
book published in 1859 speaks of combination companies as already established.
Joseph Jefferson HI also declared that he was a pioneer in the movement. In
actuality, the practice probably began tentatively during the 1850's, only to be
interrupted by the Civil War. It mushroomed in the 1870's, as the rapid
expansion of the railway system made it increasingly feasible to transport full
productions. In 1872, Lawrence Barrett took his company, but no scenery, on
tour; in 1876, Rose Michel was sent out with full company, scenery, and
properties. By the season of 1876~1877 there were nearly 100 combination
companies on the road, and by 1886 there were 282.
