翻译题A good book is often the best urn (瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man''s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. "They are never alone," said Sir Philip Sidney, "that are accompanied by noble thoughts." Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe. The great and good do not die even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens.

翻译题Since 1981, farmers in Holland have been encouraged to adopt "green" farming techniques that were thought to benefit plant and bird life. Farmers who have voluntarily adopted these measures are compensated by the European Union. The goal of the program is to work against the negative effects of modern fanning, such as declines in species diversity and the disturbance of local nesting grounds. The "green" methods of farming cost the European Union about 1.7 billion Euros annually. This is about 4 percent of the budget for "Common Agricultural Policy," and the compensation is expected to rise to 10 percent within the next few years. Various forms of "green farming" employed around the world have proved successful, and all new methods thought to be environmentally sensitive should be subject to sound scientific evaluation to determine whether they are actually meeting the intended goals.

翻译题The generation gap is so great in Hong Kong that the teenagers there rarely turn to their parents or teachers for advice on anything. Whether it be sex, AIDS, school worries or family problems, adults are not considered up to the job. Until now, no one has asked Hong Kong youth, "What do you think?" Some understanding of the emotions of Hong Kong''s youth, however, has come from the work of Dr. Jeffrey Day—at the University of Hong Kong. His survey of young people does not focus, for example, on how many drugs they take—but tries to answer the question why. Dr. Day hopes the results, which he plans to explain in full next week, will reveal what troubles—as well as pleases—today''s high-school students. Conclusions will be passed on not only to government departments but back to the schools which took part.

翻译题The office desk, as we know it, may have had its day. A large study on the future of work in the UK predicts the rise of the “mobile worker” moving with notebook computer and mobile phone between office, home, hotel, airport or highway service station as the needs of a job demand. Today, more than five million people already spend some time working at home or on the move, according to a recent report. That number will rise dramatically over the coming decades, with mobile work becoming one of the fastest-growing types of employment. According to the study “Working in the Twenty-First Century”, individuals will not necessarily see themselves as working from home. They could equally be working from the office, but they will be one the move from place to place, working at various times of the say, for much of the week. For a large proportion of workers, work in twenty years’ time will be more about movement than staying in one place.

Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work. College classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking. We may be approaching the twenty-first century, but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious. Everything of importance comes from the teacher. With a little imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students. In small or standard-size classes, chairs, desks, and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else. Larger classes, particularly those held in lecture halls, unfortunately, allow much less flexibility. Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises. Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls, it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out loud, and see how other students" thinking processes operate all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking. In courses that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the Same small groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine, John, allows students to move around during the first two weeks, until they find a group they are comfortable with. John then asks them to stay in the same seat, with the same group, from that time on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students" names and faces.

Society can be broken up into three classes: the Elite, the Meek and the Masses. The Elite are{{U}} (51) {{/U}}of the top 10% of society, those that don't need anyone's help{{U}} (52) {{/U}}tcomes to get ting what they want. They have the status, the money, the power, and the respect to{{U}} (53) {{/U}}whatever they need．In spite of the fact that they enjoy the upper hand, people outside of this class will still go to great{{U}} (54) {{/U}}to help them even further. The Meek are comprised of the bottom 10X of society, those who need our help, and badly at that. But{{U}} (55) {{/U}}so many of us are eager to get in well with the Elite, few actually care enough to provide any{{U}} (56) {{/U}}to the Meek. The Masses are the largest class,{{U}} (57) {{/U}}up the middle 80% between the Meek and the Elite. Most of the Masses could use some help getting by, and{{U}} (58) {{/U}}it would usually improve their lives considerably, but they{{U}} (59) {{/U}}get it. Why do most people would rather help the Meek or the Elite? Because they are{{U}} (60) {{/U}}with instant gratification or the anticipation of future benefits. We rarely help the Masses because there is nothing really in it for us, and this shows humanity's true colors.
