问答题At Harvard University's most recent Commencement Ceremony, female
President Drew Faust had an important reminder for staff and students: "We as a
University live under the protections of the public trust. It is our obligation
to nurture and educate talents to serve that trust—creating the people and the
ideas that can change the world." Evidently, attending an elite
university like Harvard isn't simply about getting rich or fulfilling your
academic potential. It's also about public service - what you can give back to
others. Even before graduation, Harvard students play an important role in
contributing to the public good. At Harvard Law School,
every student must complete 40 hours of unpaid community legal services before
graduating. Second-year law student Jessica Lewis recently helped a young
male refugee gain a form of protection known as asylum status. She told the
Harvard Gazette that the work "changed my experience in law school".
In the Graduate School of Design, Harvard students have recently designed
post- earthquake shelters in Haiti. Harvard students have also developed
architectural strategies to combat airborne disease in a new tuberculosis
hospital which they built in Rwanda. Many students continue to
keep Harvard's humanitarian mission alive after they leave. The rate of seniors
choosing public service upon graduation has increased over the last two years,
from 17 to 26 percent. Last year, nearly 20 percent of graduating seniors
applied for Teach for America, a New York-based nonprofit group which recruits
the brightest college graduates to teach in low-income communities.
Harvard graduate Aaron J. Garcia passed up job offers paying $20,000 more
than he currently earns with Teach for America Garcia, 24, says President Faust
had a lot to do with his decision."She said that it was the responsibility of
educated people and scholars to shape the world in meaningful ways, and this is
what's most meaningful to me", he told Bloomberg News. Top
universities besides Harvard have influenced students to start making a
difference. The most popular job for graduates of Oxford University in the UK is
teaching, with 25 percent of them working in secondary schools. Former Oxford
student Max Haimenforf is now a head science teacher at the King Solomon Academy
in London."Oxford life inspired me to want to give back to others and provide
those from challenging backgrounds the same opportunity I had been given", he
told the university. Oxford also encourages graduates to help
society by pursuing research careers. The university currently has more than
4,000 postgraduate research students working across all major disciplines, from
medicine to social sciences. One group of medical researchers is looking
at whether it's possible to treat heart muscle damaged in heart attacks with
injections of stem cells. And for more than a decade, Oxford
graduates at the Center for the Study of African Economies have been addressing
how to alleviate poverty in Africa through measures such as rural
development. From educating disadvantaged students to mending
broken hearts, elite universities bring the best minds to the world's biggest
problems. Their students prove that personal success may be important, but
public gain is even richer.
问答题One of the greatest challenges that face every American president is to ensure that events of the day do not become cascading crises that crowd out the pursuit of our nation"s long-term strategic priorities and interests. This has been particularly true over the past three years, when the US has confronted a daunting array of challenges: global financial crises; the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; terrorist threats; direct challenges to global nuclear non-proliferation regimes; and the still unfolding, events across the Middle East and North Africa. Even as we have dealt with these dynamics, President Obama has pursued a rebalancing of our foreign policy priorities—and renewed our long-standing alliances, including with NATO—to ensure that our focus and our resources match our nation"s most important strategic interests.

问答题每年农历七月初七的七夕节,简称七夕,俗称乞巧节,又称少女节或女儿节,是中国传统节日中最具烂漫色彩的一个节日。
传说每年的七月初七是牛郎、织女相会的日子。在这一天,人间的喜鹊要飞到关上去,为牛郎和织女搭一座鹊桥,好让二人渡过天河相见。在这一天的晚上,如果静静地躲在葡萄架下,就能听到牛郎、织女说的悄悄话。因为织女是一个美丽聪明、心灵手巧的仙女,所以凡间的女子便在这一天的晚上与女伴相约,在庭院或花园里朝天河(即银河)中的牛、女二星焚香祭拜,默默祈祷自己的心愿,向织女乞求智慧,好让自己也变得心灵手巧。少女们希望自己长得美丽可人,嫁个如意郎君;少妇们希望早生贵子,得到丈夫、公婆的宠爱。于是,便出现了七夕乞巧等各种风俗。
在汉语中,“七”与“期”同音,含有期待的意思。牵牛、织女二星在每年的七月同时出现于天空,古代称为“星期”。在“星期”的背后,隐藏着人们对一切美好意愿的祝福与乞求。因此,七夕的“星期”便成为相爱之人会面的美好日子。

问答题Acting recently as an expert witness in a murder trial, I became aware of a small legal problem caused by the increasingly multicultural nature of our society. According to English law, a man is guilty of murder if he kills someone with the intention either to kill or to injure seriously. But he is guilty of the lesser crime of manslaughter if he has been sufficiently provoked or if his state of mind at that time was abnormal enough to reduce his responsibility. The legal test here is a comparison with the supposed ordinary man—the man on the Clapham omnibus, as the legal Cliché has it. Would that ordinary person feel provoked under similar circumstances? Was the accused's state of mind at the time of the killing very different from that of an average man?
