英语作文《历史的流年》
The Flow of HistoryGrowing up, I was always fascinated by the stories of the past. The tales of ancient civilizations, the rise and fall of empires, and the lives of great leaders captivated my imagination. It was as if history was a grand tapestry, woven with threads of time, and I was eager to explore every inch of it.My journey into the depths of history began with a simple book from the school library. It was a biography of Cleopatra, the last Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. The book painted a vivid picture of her life, from her struggles for power to her tragic end. I was mesmerized by her intelligence, her charisma, and her indomitable spirit. She was a woman who defied the odds and stood against the might of Rome, and her story inspired me to learn more about the world that she lived in.As I delved deeper into history, I discovered the rich tapestry of human experience. I learned about the great civilizations that shaped the world, from the Egyptians and the Greeks to the Romans and the Chinese. I marveled at their achievements in art, science, and philosophy, and I was humbled by their struggles and failures.One of the most intriguing periods in history for me is the Renaissance. It was a time of great change and innovation, when artists, scientists, and thinkers challenged the status quo and pushed the boundaries of human knowledge. The works of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Galileo Galilei were not just artistic masterpieces, but also testaments to the human spirits boundless curiosity and creativity.History is also a record of human folly and conflict. The two World Wars, for instance, were devastating events that claimed millions of lives and reshaped the world in profound ways. The Holocaust, a dark chapter in human history, is a stark reminder of the horrors that can arise from hatred and prejudice. These events, though painful, serve as important lessons for future generations, urging us to strive for peace and understanding.In my exploration of history, I have come to appreciate the interconnectedness of our world. The Silk Road, for example, was a network of trade routes that connected the East and the West, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures. The impact of this ancient trade route can still be felt today, as it laid the foundation for globalization and cultural diversity.Moreover, history has shown me the power of resilience and perseverance. The story of Nelson Mandela, who fought against apartheid and became the first black president of South Africa, is a testament to the human spirits ability to overcome adversity andinjustice. His life serves as an inspiration for people around the world to stand up for what is right, no matter the odds.In conclusion, history is a rich and complex narrative that offers valuable insights into the human experience. It is a mirror that reflects our past, present, and future, and it is a guide that helps us navigate the complexities of our world. As I continue to explore the flow of history, I am reminded of the words of the philosopher George Santayana: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Let us learn from history, so that we may build a better future for all.。
Tort Notes
Lecture 1 - IntroductionTort = wrongful conduct recognized by law which caused harmful consequence (damage/injury).Tort law establishes various tort actions and provide a means to redress for wrongful injury.1. Formalist v FunctionalistFormalist approach (Winfield)-Key features: The breach of a duty is primarily fixed by law. Duty is towards person. If duty is breached, it is compensated by unliquidated damages. The damages are not fixed and it is determined by the judge.Functionalist approach (Jones)-Key features: Tort is to provide remedy. Tort is concerned about ethic issues. Tort law is a set of rule which regulate behaviors.-There may be conflict of behaviors and we need to look at the objectives to balance the interest.2. The Difficulty of Defining Tortand Tortious Liability●Continually evolving area of the law●New fact situations challenging the limits of tort law●Patchwork of principles●Policy important in developing tort law3. Classification of TortsA Patchwork of Principles- no single set of tortious liability principles- series of separate causes of action – patchwork of principles- Plaintiff needs to base claim on a specific tortious cause of action (eg negligence, nuisance)- Different principles for different cause of action. See Esso Petroleum Co Ltd v Southport Corporation [1954] 2 QB 182 (CA)Types of Conduct●Careless - Negligent●Deliberate - Intentional●No fault - Strict liabilityInterests Protected, Injury to:●Person●Personal property (Car, Watch…)●Real property (Land..)●Economic interests (Economic Interst…)●ReputationVariety of tort cause of actions:Example: careless injury to a person●Negligence●Breach of statutory duty●Breach of employers duty of care to employeesExample: intentional injury to a person●Assault●Battery●False imprisonment4. Who may bring a tort action?Anybody who suffer damages.Babies not yet born. (Car accident involving pregnant woman)Deceased people.No prohibition of family members suing against each other.5. Liability in TortWho can be sued in tort?Generally, any wrongdoer may be sued in a tort action. Defendants in tort actions may be:●Individuals●Children●McHale v Watson [1966] ALR 513,●Leung Kwok Lung v Ling Wai [2010] HKEC 544●Family members●Married Persons Status Ordinance (Cap 182) Section 1)●Corporations●Chau Chui Ping v Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd (2006) HCPI 261 of 2003●Incorporated Bodies●Aberdeen Winner Investments Company Limited v The IncorporatedOwners of Albert House & Another [2004] 3 HKLRD 910●Partnerships (Partnerships not having a recognized legal personality must besued in the name of the individual partners)●Foshan Hua Da Industrial Co v Johnson Stokes & Master (a firm) [1999]1HKLRD 418. Schools●Chan Kin Bun v Wong Sze Man and Carmel Alison Lam FoundationSecondary School [2006] 3 HKLRD 208●Universities●Yip Mau Leung v University of Hong Kong [2003] 3 HKLRD 198●Clubs●Cheng Yuen v Royal Hong Kong Golf Club [197] 2 HKC 426●Societies●Kristan Bowers Phillips v The Hong Kong Philharmonic Society Limited &Others (1997) HCPI 580 of 1996●The government●Wong Tai Wai v Hong Kong SAR Government (2004) CACV 19 and 247 of2003●Government Officials●Li Ngan Shui Brumen v Official Receiver [1995] 1 HKC 133●Statutory Bodies●Cheng Wai Leung v Pneumoconiosis Compensation Fund Board [1990] 2HKC 3336.Tort Immunity: Who may not be sued at tort?(a).Statutory Immunity1. Law Amendment Reform and (Consolidation) Ordinance (Cap 23) section 22B1))– a mother who negligently causes pre-birth injury to her child is immunefrom suit by the child. (Hong Kong)Congenital Disabilities (Civil Liability) Act 1976 sections 1(1) and (2) allow aclaim by a child for pre-birth injury inflicted by the child’s mother’s negligentdriving. (UK)2.Legislative Council (Powers and Privileges) Ordinance (Cap 382) Section 3Legislators has freedom of speech and debate in the Council and their speech in the council should not be questioned by the court.3.Occupiers Liability Ordinance (Cap 314) Section 7The HKSAR Government has liability in tort only if the tort commited ismentioned in Crown Proceedings Ordinance (Cap 300), in particular Section 4.4.Crown Proceedings Ordinance (Cap 300) Section 4(5)The HKSAR Government cannot be sued when some judicial officers done oromitted to done anything when they are executing the judicial process.Judicial interpretations of this section of the Ordinance:●Wong Shui Kee v Victor Chu & Others (2001) CACV 3176 of 2001●Fu Lok Man v Chief Bailiff of the High Court [1999] 2 HKLRD 835●Lincoln v Daniels [1962] 1 QB 2375. State Immunity Act 1978 (extended to Hong Kong by the State Immunity(Overseas Territories) Order 1979)This legislation raises issues about the immunity of “foreign” governments(including the Central People’s Governmen t of the PRC) from civil proceedingsbefore the Hong Kong courts.The State Immunity Act 1978A state or its representatives will not be immune in respect of proceedings inrelation to commercial matters, contract and tort claims.Before the late 1970s, an independent foreign state and its representatives could not be sued in English or Hong Kong courts without its consent (AbsoluteImmunity Doctrine).Since the late 1970s the doctrine of absolute immunity has been replaced by aDoctrine of Restrictive Immunity in many jurisdictions, like the UK and the US(Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act 1976).FG Hemisphere Associates LLC v Democratic Republic of the Congo [2010] 2HKLRD 66: Restrictive approach applied in Hong Kong.Immune propertyCertain property of the state located in the jurisdiction may not be seized tosatisfy any judgment. This immune property includes the property of a state’scentral bank or monetary authority.(b). Common Law Immunity(i). Public Policy Immunity●Policy factors is taken in to account when interpreting “fair, just and reasonable”requirement in Caparo Industries Plc v Dickman [1990] 2 AC 605 when deciding if the plaintiff is owed a duty of care.●Public Policy immunity is created for Government agencies and the rescueservices.Hill v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire [1989] Ac 53 (HL)Police were immune from an action against certain operational decisions.(ii). Advocates Immunity●The generic term advocates include barristers and litigation solicitors.●For some 200 years, English advocates have enjoyed immunity from being suedfor negligence in respect of the preparation for and conduct of a case in court.●Rondel v Worsley [1969] 1 AC 191: The immunity was based on public policy.Saif Ali v Sidney Mitchell & Co [1980] AC 198: The immunity extended tosolicitors who were in the same position as barristers in respect of pre-trial andadvocacy work.●The immunity was restricted to pre-trial work affecting the way the case wouldbe conducted in court and to the conduct of the case in court.●Calls for the immunity to be revoked.Arthur JS Hall & Co (A Firm) v Simons [2000] 3 WLR 543 examined the publicpolicy reasons for the advocates immunity and held that they no longer justified its retention for civil proceedings.●Moy v Pettman Smith and another [2005] 1 All ER 903: the immunity shouldalso be abolished for criminal proceedings.●Chamberlains v Lai [2005] 3 NZLR 291: Th e advocate’s negligence immunity isabolished in New Zealand.●D’Orta – Ekenaike v Victoria Legal Aid & Another (2005) 223 CLR 1: Theadvocate’s immunity should be retained in Australia.Advocates Immunity in Hong Kong(i). Common Law Immunity Issues●In Hong Kong, whether advocates immunity should be retained is yet to bedecided. Hong Kong advocates currently enjoy immunity from negligence actions following Rondel v Worsley●Lam Chi Kong v Tai Siu Ching & Christopher Grounds, HAC 344/2006Hong Kong barristers still enjoy the advocate’s immunity.●HKSAR v Hung Chan Wa and Another CFA File 7/2006The issu e of advocate’s immunity in Hong Kong was yet to be decided.The change is due to the changes in the law of negligence, the functioning of the legal profession, the administration of justice and public perceptions.No view is expressed on whether the change should be made in HK.(ii). Statutory Immunity Issues●In Hong Kong, there is statutory recognition on advocates immunity.●Section 5 of the Supply of Services (Implied Terms) Ordinance Cap 457There is an implied term in a services contract that a supplier of services willcarry out the services “with reasonable care and skill”.Section 1 states that Section 5 is excluded for advocate service in court, tribunal, inquiry or arbitrator, and in carrying out preliminary work directly affecting the conduct of hearing.(iii). Public Law Issues●The Basic Law, Article 35:“Hong Kong residents shall have the right to …,access to the courts, …to judicial remedies.”●The Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance Cap 383, Article 10:“In the determination …of his rights and obligations in a suit at law everyone shall be entitled to a fair and public hearing…”●Both the Basic Law and Bill of Rights Ordinance guarantee Hong Kong peopleaccess to the courts.●The issue arises as to whether these rights are denied by advocate’s immunityfrom tort actions.●If it is found that the right to access to the courts are denied, it still need tosatisfy the rationality and proportionality tests set out by the Court of FinalAppeal in HKSAR v Lam Kwong Wai and Lam Ka Man, FACC No 4 of 2005.●There is a possibility of a “constitutional” tort action for damages resulting fromthe advocate’s immunity. Section 6 of the Bill of Rights Ordinance provides that remedies for breach of the ordinance include such remedy, relief or order thatthe court considers “appropriate and just in the circumstances”.●The issue of the continuation or abolition of advocate’s immunity in Hong Kongraises many issues. These include:●An examination of the policy behind the immunity●Public law issues under the Basic Law and Hong Kong Bill of RightsOrdinance.●The suitability of the immunity for conditions in Hong Kong today● A review of the law in other common law jurisdictions7. Aims and Objectives of Tort Law(i). CompensationLivingstone v Rawyards Coal Co (1880) 5 App Cas 25The damages in tort law aims to put the injured party in the same position as ifhe had never sustained the wrong conduct.D v East Berkshire NHS Trust [2005] 2 AC 373 (HL)The public interest in law enforcement and the administration of justice doessometimes require potential liabilities to be excluded notwithstanding that those “wronged” are not compensated.E.g. Psychiatric and financial harm to business competitors is not compensated.→ Competition is good for the economy and society.E.g. Psychiatric harm from family problems (Marriage or pre-marriage) is notcompensated. → They should be dealt with by the individuals.Mustapha v Culligan of Canada Ltd [2008] SCC 27Minor and transient upsets (not from personal injury) do not constitute personal injury, and hence do not amount to damage.Reid v Rush & Tompkins Plc [1990] 1 WLR 212 (CA)Criminal injury may not be compensated.If the wrongdoer has no money, the sufferer cannot be compensated.(ii). DeterranceLister v Romford Ice & Cold Storage Co Ltd [1957] AC 555 (HL)Tort Damages is used as a sanction to demand the servant should exercise hisproper skill and care in the performance of his duty.(iii). Appeasement – Retributive JusticeBroome v Cassell & Co [1972] Ac 1027 (HL)Tort law originally is used to discourage private revenge in a primitive society.Nowadays, it is regarded as a punishment for wrong doers.(iv). Justice IssuesFair, Just and ReasonableCaparo Plc v Dickman [1990] 2 AC 605 (HL)Fair just and reasonable is a consideration in determining whether a duty of care is owed.Doing JusticeVellino v Chief Constable of Greater Manchester [2002] 1 WLR 218 (CA)The breach of duty of an officer to a prisoner should be recognized to do justice.Practical JusticeWhite v Jones [1995] 2 AC 207 (HL)T he court will have to fashion ‘an effective remedy for the solicitor’s breach ofhis professional duty to his client’ in such a way as to repair the injustice to thedisappointed beneficiary.Attorney-General v Blake [2001] 1 AC 268 (HL)Doing practical justice was a major objective of the work of the judge as practical justice is expected by the public.(v). RightsPrivacy RightsWainwright v Home Office [2004] 2 AC 406 (HL)English law is unwilling to formulate a high-level principle in tort to protectprivacy. There is already a number of common law and statutory remedies toprotect privacy.Constitutional RightsWatkins v Home Office [2006] UKHL 17Constitutional right is not sufficiently precise in defining whether an abuse ofright should give rise to a tort action.(vi). Interest - Recognition of interestsRevenue and Customs Commissioners v Total Network SL [2008] 2 WLR 711 (HL) The function of an action of damages is to provide a remedy for interests thatare recognized by the law as entitled to protection.(vii). Loss Distribution v Loss Shifting IssuesSpartan Steel & Alloys Ltd v Martin & Co (Contractors Ltd) [1973] 1 QB 27 (CA)People should put up with the hazard of cutting of the supply of electricitywithout seeking compensation. They should make up the loss by doing morework the next day. (Loss Distribution)8. Theories of Tort Law(i). Compensation TheoriesBroome v Cassel & Co Ltd [1972] Ac 1027 (HL)The main purpose of tort law is compensation.(ii). Economic TheoriesWildtree Hotels Ltd v Harrow LBC [2001] 2 AC 1 (HL)The construction of railways has disrupted the lives and businesses of a largenumber of people. Judges need to confine the right to compensation rigidly toprevent floodgates of arguments.Stovin v Wise [1996] AC 923 (HL)Liability to pay compensation for loss caused by negligent conduct acts as adeterrent against increasing the cost of the activity to the community andreduces externalities (Cost pay by the other people).(iii). Corrective v Distributive JusticeMcFarlane v Tayside Health Board [2000] 2 AC 59 (HL)Surgeon’s negligent advise that a vasectomy had rendered the husband infertile.The woman is pregnant.Corrective justice (Indemnity approach): The couple should gain all thecompensation to raise the child.Distributive justice (Just distribution of burdens and losses): The couple shouldnot get a full compensation to raise the child.Distributive justice, which is a moral theory, should apply here. The standard is aobjective ordinary citizen.9. Overlap of Tort and Other Areas of the Law(i). Tort and Contract●Possible concurrent tortious and contractual liability●No double recovery●Different principles for tort and contract actions and assessment of damagesCocurrent LiabilityHenderson v Merrett Syndicates Ltd [1995] 2 AC 145 (HL)Concurrent claim in tort and contract is allowed. The claimant is entitled to takeadvantage of the remedy which is most advantageous to him.(ii). Tort and Crime●Some torts are also crimes●Tort - claim by individual●Crime - prosecution by the state●Great difference in civil and criminal proceedingsCivil process v Criminal ProcessArthur J.S. Hall & Co v Simons [2002] 1 AC 615 (HL)Civil: Infringement of right by one party to another party. Remedy is seek from the default party.Criminal: It is concerned on the public interest of the society. The guilty are punished.10. Tort Liability Law of the PRC (See 62-64)11. Sources of Hong Kong Tort LawA Solicitor v The Law Society of Hong Kong [2008] 2 HKLRD 576“It is of great benefit to the Hong Kong courts to examine comparativejurisprudence in seeking the appropriate solution for the problems which comebefore them….At the end of the day, the courts in Hong Kong must decide f orthemselves what is appropriate for our jurisdiction.”“The great strength of the common law lies in its capacity to develop to meet the changing needs and circumstances of the society in which it functions”The court has the power to depart from its previous decision of the Privy Councilon Appeal from Hong Kong, however, this power will be exercised most sparingly.12. A Brief History of Tort Law●Predominance of procedure – forms of action●Writ of trespass –“fertile mother of actions” 1250(i). Trespass and Case●Trespass – direct injury●Trespass on the case – indirect injury or omission●Negligence and action on the case●Wilkinson v Downton (1897) 2QB57●Donoghue v Stevenson (1932) AC 562Letang v Cooper [1965] 1 QB 232 (CA)Distinction between trespass and case is obsolete.Modern approach: Distinction should be intentional or unintentional.Personal injury cause of action:Intentional → Assault or BatteryUnintentional → Negligence(ii). Transition of Forms of Action to Causes of ActionLetang v Cooper [1965] 1 QB 232 (CA)Traditionally, remedy was obtained according to the particular kind of factual situation which constituted the cause of action. (forms of action)The Judicature Act 1873 abolished forms of action. Causes of action remained to be used by lawyers and legislators.Henderson v Merrett Syndicates Ltd [1995] 2 AC 145 (HL)The Common Law Procedure Act 1852 (15 & 16 Vict c76) abolishes the forms of action. Common lawyers separated the law of obligations into contract and tort.Back to the Future●History of tort law resulted in today’s patchwork of principles and differentactions●Historical development of tort influenced by:●Economic changes●Social changes●Rise of the welfare state●Modern development of tort influenced by:●Insurance●Compensation culture●Human Rights legislation●Tort law over the last 100 years dominated by negligence actionLecture 2 - Duty of Care1. Negligence - Introduction●Most dominant modern tort●Shift from precedent to principle●Focus on fault (defendant’s cond uct)●Harm still needs to be considered (plaintiff’s injury)●Changing judicial approaches2. Elements of NegligenceLochgelly Iron and Coal Co v McMullen [1934] AC 1, 25Negligence includes a complex concept of duty, breach and damage thereby suffered by the person to whom the duty was owing.●Duty of care (owed by defendant to plaintiff)●Breach of duty (by defendant)●Causation (in law and in fact)●Damage (type recognized by law)●Remoteness (kind of or occurrence of damage)**All the above elements overlap**The concept of “foreseeability” arises in respect of several of these elements3. The Duty Concept(i). Function●Defines…people…relationships…interests which qualify for legal protection●Control device for determining acceptable behaviour by imposing negligenceliability●No duty owed – no liability for negligenceLe Lievre v Gould [1893] 9QB 491“A man is entitled to be as negligent as he pleases towards the whole world if he owes no duty to them.”Differentiates various kinds of damage in determining which legal interests to protect Caparo Industries plc v Dickman [1990] 2AC 605It is important to determine the scope of the duty by reference to the kind of damage from which A must take care to save B harmless.(ii). Established Duty of Care Situations (Precedent)-The existence of duty of care is not contentious if precedent exists.-Negligence claims for acts directly causing physical damage to persons or property do not generally give rise to a duty of care issue.Mobil Oil Hong Kong Ltd v Hong Kong United Dockyards Ltd [1991] 2 Lloyd’s Rep 309“(T)he question of the existence of the duty of care does not give rise to any problem because it is self evident that such a duty exists and the contrary view is unarguable.”(iii). Establishing a General Duty of Care Principle (Principle)Winfield & Jolowicz, Tort (2010) 157Three periods in the history of law must be distinguished.(iii)(a). 1932●Before 1932No general test or principle for determining existence of dutyHeaven v Pender [1883] 11 QBD 503Attempt to state general principle for establishing existence of duty of care,defeated.●In 1932Neighbour Principle [NP]Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] AC 562The Neighbour PrincipleDonoghue v Stevenson [1932] AC 562 (Foreseeability and Proximity)•The manufacturer of an article of food, medicine or the like, sold by him to a distributor in circumstances which prevent the distributor or the ultimatepurchaser or consumer from discovering by inspection any defect, is under alegal duty to the ultimate purchaser or consumer to take reasonable care that the article is free from defect likely to cause injury to health.•There should be a general conception of relations giving rise to duty of care.•The offender must pay for the liability for negligence, but the range of complains should be limited.•You must love your neighbour→ You must not injure your neighbour (strict definition of neighbour).•You must take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions which you can reasonably foresee would be likely to injure your neighbour.•Neighbour are the persons who are so closely and directly affected by my act that I ought reasonably to have them in contemplation (in consideration) asbeing so affected when I am directing my mind to the acts or omissions whichare called in question.Obiter dictum:●General conception of relations●Strict, to limit the range of complainants●Apply to acts or omissions●Passive duty to avoid injury●Harm or injury must be caused●Care must be reasonable, no more no less●Foreseeable●Likely cause harm or damage●Close and direct relations (proximity)Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] AC 562The categories of negligence are never closed.(iii) (b). From 1932-1970●Test for duty based on reasonable foreseeability of harm gradually acceptedand applied unless there is justifications or valid explanations.●Modifications for the Neighbour Principle to meet new circumstances. Hedley Byrne & Co v Heller & Partners Ltd**Neighbour principle rejected for liability for negligent misstatement resulting in pure economic loss. Since it will lead to a too wide liability, the liability is based on special relationship. Negligent words are different from negligent acts.Dorset Yacht v Home Office [1970] AC 1004, 1070(A). Comparison to precedents:●Based upon cumulative experience of the judiciary of the actual consequencesof the lack of care in particular instances●Proceeds by seeking first to identify the relevant characteristics that arecommon to the kinds of conduct and relationships between the parties in actual case, compared to the kinds of conduct and relationships which have been held in previous decisions to give rise to a duty●Gives effect to the judge’s conception of the public interestRelevant character in this case:Plaintiff owed a duty of care if:●Boys under the defendants control●Special conduct or relationship to defendant●Manifest risk if defendant neglected that duty●Reasonable in all circumstances to impose a duty**Public Policy did not require immunity(B). Elimination: (Distinguish from precedents)Ellis v Home Office [1953] 2AllER 149D’Arcy v Prison Commissioners [Times 15 November 1955]- The difference is that the prisoners in these cases are still in custody, but notescaped.- In Dorset, there is distinctive added risk for the boys will steal or appropriateand damage property nearby to elude pursuit.(iii) (c). From 1970-1978●Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] AC 562 dealt with a defective product likely tocause injury to health (physical injury)●Spartan Steel & Alloys Ltd v Martin [1973] 1QB 27 extended Neighbour Principleto property damage but recovery not allowed for pure economic loss●Anns v Merton London Borough Council [1978] AC 728 introduced the “twostage” testAnns v Merton LBC [1978] AC 728Issue 1: Duty of cared owed by the council to the plaintiff for the inspection?There is sufficient proximity. (Duty of care existed)The council acted outside the scope of discretion permitted by statue. (Breach) Issue 2: When should the claim be time barred?Claim accrued when there is danger, not the time of construction.Two Part test:1. Whether the damage is foreseeable? If yes, it is in a sufficient relationship of proximity. (Forseeability is the test of proximity).2. Considerations to limit the scope of the duty (Policy Considerations).Types of policy considerations include:●Floodgates of litigation●Exercise of statutory duties and powers●Alternative compensation – insurance●Ethics●Legislature is better forum for deciding the issue(iii) (d). From 1978-1983●Two stage test led to expansion of negligence into new areas●Recovery allowed for pure economic lossJunior Books Ltd v Veitchi Co [1983] 1AC 520Damages are awarded to pure economic loss. This violates the tort law as pure economic loss should be sued in contract.High water mark in expansion of duty of care and negligence.(iii) (e). From 1983-1988●Criticisms of Anns two stage approach:●First stage appears to allow plaintiff to easily establish a prima facie dutyof care by reference to foreseeability of harm.●Seco nd stage arguably requires defendant to advocate “policy” reasonsfor rejecting or limiting duty of care.The Retreat from the Anns ApproachGovernors of the Peabody Donation Fund v Sir Lindsay Parkinson Ltd [1985] AC 210 No duty found from the deviation from building plans which caused lossDeviation agreed to by plaintiff’s employeeAnns test is rejected and Just and Reasonable Test introducedCurran v Northern Ireland Co-Ownership Housing Association [1987] AC 718●Defendant had statutory duty, before making grant, to ensure extension wasbuilt to a satisfactory standard. The extension was defective. Plaintiffs claim torecover economic loss denied. Held statutory duty was to ensure public moneyproperly spent not to protect grant recipient and successors in title.Yuen Kun Yeu v Attorney General of Hong Kong [1988] AC 175The two stage test is wrong as test for forseeability and proximity should beseparated. Forseeability alone is not enough to establish proximity. All thecircumstances should be taken account.Public Policy test should arise in only a limited category.●Close and direct relationship between the parties had to be established beforeliability in tort for negligence could arise●Unlike Dorset Yacht, Commissioner had no control over the DTC's●Commissioner not negligently misrepresenting creditworthiness of a DTC when itremained registered, since his statutory duty was mainly to supervise. Purposeof Ordinance considered.●Two stage test in Anns is not to be regarded in all circumstances as a suitableguide to the existence of a duty of careSutherland Shire Council v Heyman and Another [1985] 60 ALR 1Just and reasonable test is used.(iii)(f). From 1988-2007 (Current Approach)1. Development in criteria in Tort LawPage v Smith [1996] AC 155Tort law is applied to psychiatric illness.●Statement or advice given to a known recipient●Specific purpose of which the maker was aware●Upon which the recipient had relied and acted to his detriment Auditors owed duty to shareholders in making the report, but not to future shareholders (potential investors).。

为什么要反对开采鹅卵石英语小作文
为什么要反对开采鹅卵石英语小作文Opposition to the Extraction of Shingle Why We Should Stand Against It。
The extraction of shingle, also known as pebbles or gravel, has become a contentious issue in recent times. Many argue that it is a necessary activity for economic development and construction purposes. However, there are compelling reasons why we should oppose the extraction of shingle. This essay will outline the environmental, economic, and social impacts of this practice, highlighting the need for alternative solutions.Firstly, the extraction of shingle has significant environmental consequences. It disrupts aquatic ecosystems, as these pebbles are often found in riverbeds and coastal areas. The extraction process disturbs the natural flow of water, leading to erosion, sedimentation, and the destruction of habitats for various aquatic species. Additionally, the removal of shingle alters the balance of sediment transport, which can result in increased coastal erosion and the loss of valuable land.Moreover, the extraction of shingle contributes to the depletion of natural resources. Shingle is a non-renewable resource, and its extraction is often carried out in an unsustainable manner. The demand for shingle has increased exponentially due to rapid urbanization and construction projects. This has led to overexploitation, causing irreversible damage to the environment. By opposing the extraction of shingle, we can promote the conservation of natural resources and encourage the use of alternative materials in construction.Furthermore, the economic impacts of shingle extraction are often short-term and unsustainable. While it may provide employment opportunities in the short run, the long-term effects can be detrimental. Once the shingle deposits are depleted, the local communities dependent on this industry will suffer from unemployment and economic instability. Additionally, the extraction process itself requires heavy machinery and transportation, leading to increased carbon emissions and pollution. By investing in sustainable industries and exploring alternative construction materials, we can ensure long-term economic stability while minimizing environmental harm.In addition to the environmental and economic concerns, the extraction of shingle also has social implications. Many communities, especially those living near extraction sites, experience noise pollution, dust, and other health hazards. The constant noise from the machinery disrupts their daily lives and affects their mental well-being. Moreover, the extraction activities often encroach upon indigenous lands, violating their rights and causing social unrest. By opposing shingle extraction, we can protect the rights and well-being of local communities, fostering a more inclusive and sustainable society.In conclusion, the extraction of shingle poses significant environmental, economic, and social challenges. The disruption of ecosystems, depletion of natural resources, short-sighted economic benefits, and social impacts are all compelling reasons to oppose this practice. It is crucial that we explore alternative solutions and promote sustainable practices in construction and development. By doing so, we can protect our environment, preserve our resources, and create a more equitable and prosperous future for all.。

Part ⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefiully before making your choices.Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter:Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Our brains respond to language expressing facts differently than they do to words conveying possibility, scientists at New York University have recently found.Their work offers new insights into the impact word choice has on how we 26between statements expressing what is real versus what is merely possible.The ·2023年12月六级真题(第二套)·12researchers assert their findings are important because we are presented with false information all the time. Some of this is 27 ,as is the case with deceptive advertisements,but the problem is 28_by individuals who believe they are sharing correct information.Thus,it is more important than ever to separate the factual from the possible or merely 29 in how we communicate.This is especially true as the study makes clear that information presented as fact 30 special responses in our brains,which are distinct from when we process the same content with clear indicators of 31In their new study,the scientists intended to 32 how the brain computes possibilities as expressed by words such as

to factual statements.Section BDirections: In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter:Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Treasure FeverA)Most visitors come to Cape Canaveral,on the northeast coast of Florida,for the tourist attractions.It's hometo the second-busiest cruise ship port in the world and is a gateway to the cosmos.Nearly 1.5 million visitors flock here every year to watch rockets,spacecraft,and satellites blast off into the solar system from Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.Nearly 64 kilometers of undeveloped beach and 648 square kilometers of protected refuge fan out from the cape's sandy shores.B)Yet some of Cape Canaveral's most legendary attractions lie unseen,wedged under the sea's surface inmud and sand,for this part of the world has a reputation as a deadly ship trap.Over the centuries,dozens of majestic Old World sailing ships smashed and sank on this irregular stretch of windy Florida coast.They were vessels built for war and commerce,crossing the globe carrying everything from coins to cannons,boxes of silver and gold,chests of jewels and porcelain,and pearls from the Caribbean.13·2023年12月六级真题(第二套)·C)Cape Canaveral contains one of the greatest concentrations of colonial shipwrecks in the world.In recentyears,advances in radar,diving,detection equipment,computers,and GPS have transformed the hunt.The naked eye might see a pile of rocks,but technology can reveal the precious artifacts(人工制品) that lie hidden on the ocean floor.D)As technology renders the seabed more accessible,the hunt for treasure-filled ships has drawn a fresh tideof salvors(打捞人员)and their investors—as well as marine archaeologists(考古学家)wanting to bring to light the lost relics.But of late,when salvors have found vessels,their rights have been challenged in court.The big question:who should have control of these treasures?E)High-stakes fights over shipwrecks pit archacologists against treasure hunters in a vicious cycle ofaccusations.Archacologists regard themselves as protectors of history,and they see salvors as careless destroyers.Salvors feel they do the hard work of searching for ships,only to have them stolen from under them when discovered.This kind of clash inevitably takes place on a grand scale.Aside from the salvors, their investors,and the maritime archacologists who serve as expert witnesses,the battles sweep in local and international govemments and organizations like UNESCO that work to protect under-water heritage.The court cases that ensue stretch on for years.Are finders keepers,or do the ships belong to the countries that made them and sent them sailing centuries ago?Where once salvors and archacologists worked side by side, now they belong to opposing,and equally contemptuous,tribes.F)Nearly three million vessels lie wrecked on the Earth's ocean floor-from old canoes to the Titanic—andikely less than one percent have been explored.Some—like an ancient Roman ship found off Antikythera, Greece,dated between 70 and 60 BC and carrying astonishingly sophisticated gears and dials for navigating by the sun-are critical to a new understanding of our past.No wonder there is an eternal stirring among everybody from salvors to scholars to find them.G)In May 2016,a salvor named Bobby Pritchett,president of Global Marine Exploration (GME)in Tampa,Florida,announced that he had discovered scattered remains of a ship buried a kilometer off Cape Canaveral.Over the prior three years,he and his crew had obtained 14 state permits to survey a nearly 260-square- kilometer area off the cape;they worked 250 days a year,backed by investor funds of,he claims,US S4 million.It was hard work.Crew members were up at dawn,dragging sensors from their expedition vessels back and forth,day in and day out,year after year,to detect metal of any ing computer technology, Pritchett and his crew created intricate,color-coded maps marked with the GPS coordinates of thousands offinds,all invisible under a meter of sand.H)One day in 2015,the magnetometer (磁力计)picked up metal that turned out to be an iron cannon;when thedivers blew the sand away,they also discovered a more precious bronze cannon with markings indicating French royalty and,not far off,a famous marble column carved with the coat of arms of France,known from historical paintings.The discovery was cause for celebration.The arifacts indicated the divers had likely found the wreck of La Trinité,a 16th-century French vessel that had been at the center of a bloody battle between France and Spain that changed the fate of the United States of America.I)And then the legal storm began,with GME and Pritchett pitted against Florida and France.The SunkenMilitary Craft Act of 2004,a US federal act,protects any vessel that was on a military mission,allowing the originating country to claim their ship even centuries later.In 2018,two long years after Pritchett's discovery, the federal district court ruled in favor of France.For Pritchett,the decision was lions of dollars of investor funding and years of labor were lost.J)But this is far from the first time a salvor has lost all rights to a discovery.In 2012,for instance,Spain won a five-year legal battle against Odyssey Marine Exploration,which had hauled 594,000 gold and silver coins ·2023年12月六级真题(第二套) · 14from a Spanish wreck off the coast of Portugal across the Atlantic to the United States.“Treasure hunters can be naive,”says attorney David Concannon,who has had several maritime archaeologists as clients and represented two sides in the battles over the Titanic for 20 years.“Many treasure hunters don't understand they are going to have to fight for their rights against a govemment that has an endless supply of money for legal battles that treasure hunters are likely to lose.”K)Puting an inflated price on artifacts rather than viewing them as cultural and historical treasures that transcend any price is what iritates many archaeologists.For the archaeologist,everything in a wreck matters-hair,fabric,a fragment of a newspaper,rat bones-all things speak volumes.Archacologists don't want artifacts ending up in a private collection instead of taking humanity on a jourmey of understanding.L)George Bass is one of the pioneers of under-water archacology,and a researcher at Texas A&M University.He has testified in court against treasure hunters,but says archacology is not without its own serious problems.He believes archacologists need to do a better job themselves instead of routinely criticizing treasure hunters.“Archaeology has a terrible reputation for not publishing enough on its excavations (发掘) and finds,"he says.Gathering data,unearthing and meticulously preserving and examining finds,verifying identity and origin,piecing together the larger story,and writing and publishing a comprehensive paper or book can take decades.A bit cynically,Bass describes colleagues who never published because they waited so long they became ill or died.Who is more at fault,Bass asks,the professional archacologist who carefully excavates a site and never publishes on it or the treasure hunter who locates a submerged wreck,salvages part,conserves part,and publishes a book on the operation?M)Pritchett concedes that his find deserves careful excavation and preservation."I think what I found should go in a museum,"he says."But I also think I should get paid for what I found.”Indeed,it's a bit of a mystery why governments,archacologists,and treasure hunters can't work together-and why salvors aren't at least given a substantial finder's fee before the original owner takes possession of the vessel and its artifacts.36.Exploration of shipwrecks on the sea floor is crucial in updating our understanding of humanity's past.37.Quite a number of majestic ships sailing from Europe to America were wrecked off the Florida coast over thecenturies.38.Pritchett suffered a heavy loss when a US district court ruled against him.39.Recently,people who found treasures in shipwrecks have been sued over their rights to own them.40.Pritchett claims he got support of millions of dollars from investors for his shipwreck exploration.41.One pioneer marine scientist thinks archacologists should make greater efforts to publish their findings.42.With technological advancement in recent years,salvors now can detect the invaluable man-made objectslying buried under the sea.43.According to a lawyer,many treasure hunters are susceptible to loss because they are unaware they face afinancially stronger opponent in court.44.Salvors of treasures in sunken ships and marine archaeologists are now hostile to each other.45.Archacologists want to see artifacts help humans understand their past instead of being sold to privatecollectors at an outrageous price.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.15 ·2023年12月六级真题(第二套) ·Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Could you get by without using the internet for four and a half years?That's exactly what singer and actress Selena Gomez has done in a bid to improve her mental health.She has spoken extensively about the relationship between her social media usage and her mental wellbeing, recalling feeling like “an addict”when she became Instagram's most followed user in 2016.“Taking a break from social media was the best decision that I ve ever made for my mental health”,says she.“The unnecessary hate and comparisons went away once I put my phone down.”Ditching the web at large,however,is a far more subtle and complicated prospect.The increasing digitisation of our society means that everything from paying a gas bill to ploting a route to a friend's house and even making a phone call is at the merey of your internet connection.Actively opting out of using the internet becomes a matter of privilege.Ms Gomez's multi-millionaire status has allowed her to take the “social"out of social media,so she can continue to leverage her enormous fame while keeping the trolls(恶意挑衅的帖子)at bay.The fact that she's still the second most-followed woman on Instagram suggests it's entirely possible to maintain a significant web profile to promote various projects-by way of a dedicated team—without being exposed to the cruel comments, hate mail and rape or death threats.It goes without saying that this is fundamentally different from how the rest of us without beauty deals and films to publicise use the likes of Instagram,TikTok and Twiter,but even the concept of a digital detox( 戒瘾 ) requires having a device and connectivity to choose to disconnect from.The UK's digital divide has worsened over the past two years,leaving poorer families without broadband connections in their homes.Digital exclusion is a major threat to wider societal equality in the UK,so witnessing companies like Faccbook championing the metaverse(元宇宙)as the next great frontier when school children are struggling to complete their homework feels particularly irritating.Consequently,it's worth bearing in mind that while deleting all social media accounts will undoubtedly make some feel infinitely better,many other people benefit from the strong sense of community that sharing platforms can breed.Intemet access will continue to grow in importance as we edge further towards web 3.0,and greater resources and initiatives are needed to provide the underprivileged with the connectivity they desperately need to learn,work and ive.It's crucial that people who feel that social media is having a detrimental effect on their mental health are allowed to switch off and for those living in digital exclusion to be able to switch on in the first place.46.What do we learn about singer and actress Selena Gomez in the past four and a half years?A)She has had worsening mental problems. C)She has refrained from using social media.B)She has won Instagram's most followers. D)She has succeeded in a bid on the internet.47.Why does actively opting out of using the internet become a matter of privilege?A)Most people find it subtle and complicated to give up using the internet.B)Most people can hardly ditch the web while avoiding hate and comparisons.C)Most people can hardly get by without the internet due to growing digitisation.D)Most people have been seriously addicted to the web without being aware of it.48.Why does the author say “witnes ing companies…feels particularly irritating”(Lines2-4,Para.6)?A)The UK digital divide would further worsen due to the metaverse.B)The concept of the metaverse is believed to be still quite illusory.·2023年12月六级真题(第二套) ·16C)School children would be drawn farther away from the real world.D)Most families in the UK do not have stable broadband connections.49.What is worth bearing in mind concerming social media platforms?A)They are conducive to promoting societal equality.B)They help many people feel connected with others.C)They provide a necessary device for a digital detox.D)They create a virtual community on the internet.50.What does the author think is really important for those living in digital exclusion?A)Having access to the internet. C)Getting more educational resources.B)Edging further towards web 3.0. D)Opening more social media accounts.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Psychologists have long been in disagreement as to whether competition is a learned or a genetic component of human behavior.Whatever it is,you cannot but recognize the effect competition is exerting in academics and many other areas of contemporary life.Psychologically speaking,competition has been seen as an inevitable consequence of human drives. According to Sigmund Freud,humans are born screaming for attention and full of organic drives for fulfillment in various areas.Initially,we compete for the attention of our parents.Thereafter,we are at the mercy of a battle between our base impulses for self-fulfillment and social and cultural norms which prohibit pure indulgence.Curent work in anthropology(人类学)has suggested,however,that this view of the role of competition in human behavior may be incorrect.Thomas Hobbes,one of the great philosophers of the seventeenth century,is perhaps best remembered for his characterization of the "natural world,"that is,the world before the imposition of the will of humanity,as being“nasty,brutish,and short.”This image of the pre-rational world is still widely held,reinforced by Charles Darwin's highly influential work,The Origin of Species,which established the doctrine of natural selection.This doctrine,which takes for granted that those species best able to adapt to and master the natural environment in which they live will survive,has suggested that the struggle for survival is an inherent human trait which determines a person's success.Darwin's theory has even been summarized as “survival of the fittest”—a phrase Darwin himself never used—further highlighting competition's role in success. As it has often been pointed out,however,there is nothing in the concept of natural selection that suggests that competition is the most successful strategy for “survival of the fittest.”Darwin asserted in The Origin of Species that the struggles he was describing should be viewed as metaphors and could easily include dependence and cooperationMany studies have been conducted to test the importance placed on competition as opposed to other values, such as cooperation—by various cultures,and generally conclude that Americans uniquely praise competition as natural,inevitable,and desirable.In 1937,the world-renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead published Cooperation and Competition among Primitive Peoples,based on her studies of several societies that did notprize competition,and,in fact,seemed at times to place a negative value on it.One such society was the Zuni Indians of Arizona,and they,Mead found,valued cooperation far more than competition.After studying dozens of such cultures,Mead's final conclusion was that competitiveness is a culturally created aspect of human behavior,and that its prevalence in a particular society is relative to how that society values it.17 ·2023年12月六级真题(第二套) ·51.What does the author think is easy to see in many areas of contemporary life?A)The disagreement on the inevitability of competition.B)The consequence of psychological investigation.C)The effect of human drives.D)The impact of competition.52.According to psychology,what do people strive to do following the initial stage of their life?A)Fulfill individual needs without incurring adverse effects of human drives.B)Indulge in cultural pursuits while keeping their base impulses at bay.C)Gain extensive recognition without exposing pure indulgence.D)Satisfy their own desires while observing social conventions.53.What do we learn about the “natural world”characterized by Thomas Hobbes?A)It gets misrepresented by philosophers and anthropologists.B)It gets distorted in Darwin's The Origin of Species.C)It is free from the rational intervention of humans.D)It is the pre-rational world rarely appreciated nowadays.54.What can we conclude from Darwin's assertion in The Origin of Species?A)All species inherently depend on others for survival.B)Struggles for survival do not exclude mutual support.C)Competition weighs as much as cooperation as a survival strategy.D)The strongest species proves to be the fittest in natural selection.55.What conclusion did Margaret Mead reach after studying dozens of different cultures?A)It is characteristic of humans to be competitive.B)Americans are uniquely opposed to cooperation.C)Competition is relatively more prevalent in Western societies.D)People's attitude towards competition is actually culture-bound.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.随着经济与社会的发展，中国人口结构发生了显著变化，逐渐步入老龄化社会。

Influence
Prior to the speech, R. Sandler, Member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, commented, «Mr. John Steinbeck - In your writings, crowned with popular success in many countries, you have been a bold observer of human behaviour in both tragic and comic situations. This you have described to the reading public of the entire world with vigour and realism. Your Travels with Charley is not only a search for but also a revelation of America, as you yourself say: ‹This monster of a land, this mightiest of nations, this spawn of the future turns out to be the macrocosm of microcosm me.› Thanks to your instinct for what is genuinely American you stand out as a true representative of American life.»

写给儿童的世界历史英文
写给儿童的世界历史英文The Magic of World History for Kids.Hello, curious little explorers! Are you ready to embark on a journey through the wonders of world history? Grab your imagination and let's take flight to distant lands, ancient times, and exciting adventures!1. The Beginning: The Story of Creation.Long ago, in a time before time, the world was a blank canvas. Then, like a magician's trick, it all began. Different cultures have their own stories about how the world was created. Did you know that the ancient Greeks believed in a god named Chaos, from whom all things emerged? Or that the Native Americans of the Americas tell of a creator spirit named the Great Spirit? These myths and legends are the first pages of our history book.2. The Ancient Civilizations: Egypt, Mesopotamia, andMore.As we flip through the pages, we come to the ancient civilizations. Egypt, with its mighty pyramids and mysterious Sphinx. Mesopotamia, where the first cities flourished along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Did you know that these early people invented writing, math, and even invented the wheel? They were the builders of the foundation for all the knowledge and technology we enjoy today.3. The Ancient Greeks and Romans: Legends and Legends.The Greeks and Romans were masters of storytelling. From the brave heroes of Greek mythology to the powerful emperors of Rome, their legends are full of bravery, wisdom, and adventure. Did you know that the ancient Greeksinvented democracy, where everyone had a voice? Or that the Romans built roads, bridges, and aqueducts that are still used today?4. The Dark Ages: Mystery and Discovery.Then came the Dark Ages, a time when many things were lost and forgotten. But it was also a time of new discoveries and mysteries. Knights and castles, dragon legends and fairy tales, this era is full of magic and wonder.5. The Age of Exploration: Crossing the Oceans.As we turn the page, the world starts to shrink. Brave explorers like Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan ventured across the oceans, discovering new lands and new cultures. They brought back stories of exotic animals, far-off lands, and rich treasures.6. The Industrial Revolution: Machines and Magic.The Industrial Revolution changed the world forever. Machines replaced hands, factories replaced homes, and cities grew taller and busier. This was a time of incredible发明和创新, when the world seemed to be moving faster and faster.7. The Modern World: Connection and Discovery.Today, we live in a connected world. The internet has brought the world to our fingertips. We can learn about any culture, any country, with just a few clicks. We can explore the universe, study the smallest particles, and even talk to people on the other side of the planet. The world is full of possibilities, and our history is the roadmap to understanding it.8. The Future: What's Next?And finally, we turn the page to the future. What will the next chapter of our history book hold? Will we discover new planets? Will we invent new technologies that will change the world? Only time will tell. But whatever the future holds, remember that you are part of this grand story. Your dreams, your ideas, your actions will shape the world for the next generation.So, little explorers, as you close your eyes and dreamof all the adventures waiting for you, remember that the magic of history is not just in the past but also in the present and the future. You are the heroes of the next chapter. Happy exploring!。

And her exorbitant eyes, fairy-tale
blue, and ideally round.
Well you know, she said, I was in a
terrible condition this morning. Then I
had a thought whilst I made my tea. I thought: What’ll they be looking for in myself? And I felt all calm. I’m Dawn. I’m Desmond. They shook hands. Her
voice was high and musical, but her
diction, her choice of words, put him in mind of a category he could not yet name: the minutely declassed. And what was that
thought? Dawn.
It suddenly came to me. Well, we’ve
all got the grades, haven’t we. So what is it they’ll be looking for in ourselves? And it suddenly came to me. Eagerness to learn. Simple. I’ve got that. And I don’t doubt you’ve got it too.
Yeah, he said. I’ve got that.
Well then. Desmond.
She shrugged or shivered; her body
sighed and realigned. And he saw her
crossing the road, crossing one of the
many roads of the future, and quite differently dressed, with her jeans tucked into knee-high boots, and in a tightish top —crossing the road, strongly stepping up to the island and then stepping down from it and walking on …He experienced a
gravitational desire, just then (as his blood eased and altered), to reach out and touch her. But all that happened was that
his face gave her its clearest possible
smile.
Desmond Pepperdine, said a voice.
So it was his turn first, and when he came out, twenty minutes later, they bent their heads and winced at each other …
Dawn Sheringham, said a voice (a
different voice).
As she gathered her things he said, “I’ll wait. If you like. I’ll wait and we’ll go for
some tea.”。
