This is grossly unfair. China has a population of 1.3 billion and 5,000 years of uninterrupted history. Both of these numbers dwarf their U.S. counterparts. There is a clear need to raise cultural awareness of China in the United States.3. Answer the questionQuestion 3Lesson Two1.words to knowHBS, MBA , Talk show, cellular phone , consulting firm, debt specialists，go online , management consultant, management expertise, multinational,investment banking, start-up(company), silicon valley, Intel capital2. translationIt was one of those all-night gabfests when graduating students, in boozy camaraderie, bare their deepest feelings. Only this was more serious: the 11 classmates who gathered at an apartment on the HBS campus in May 1999 were wrestling with the fate of China.3. Answer the questionQuestion 1Lesson Four1.words to knowcanned performance, carbon dioxide, cash cow, cultural conservation, ethnic flavor, exploding tourism, carrying capacity, the lion‘s share, indigenous life infrastructure, sculpture, shrine, silk road, tourist boom, UNESCO, WHO2. translationCarved directly into a cliff face in the Gobi Desert, the Mogao caves contain a millennium‘s worth of work by travelers along the old Silk Road who turned countless small caves into stunningly painted shrines between the 4th and 14th centuries.3. Answer the questionQuestion 1Lesson Seven1.words to knowdiploma, a private college, alumni connections, class slacker, elite college/ education, extracurricular activities, feeder school, full scholarship, gilt-edged diploma, Ivy League, Ivy Leaguers, on-campus recruiting opportunities, public school, SAT scores, selective colleges, selectivity, test, pre course, undergraduate degree2. translationa. It‘s true that big law firms, major teaching hospitals, and investment banks—heck,even the offices of FORTUNE –are stuffed with Ivy Leaguers. It also true that if you want to a career at what passes for the American establishment—a gilt-edged diploma is a distinct advantage.b. The same traits that made the students desirable candidates for admission to Yale --ambition, intelligence, wit --carried over to the workplace, where they were duly (and comparably) rewarded, even though they had turned down an elite education.3. Answer the questionQuestion 2.4Lesson Nine1.words to knowagenda, campaign, concession speech, Congress, conservative, Democrat, electoral college, electoral map, exit poll, filibuster, the House, nominate, popular vote, President-elect, razor-thin margin, referendum, Republican, Senate2. translationa. It ushered in a new era of Democratic dominance in Congress, even though the partyappeared unlikely to meet its goal of capturing the 60 Senate votes needed for a filibuster-proof majority.b. The simple act of voting was a prosaic close to the longest and most expensivepresidential election in U.S. history, one that fundamentally changed national politics in communication strategy and voter outreach.3. Answer the questionQuestion 4Lesson Fifteen1.words to knowCIA, FBI, convict, count, felony, grand jury, indictment, juror, obstruction of justice, op-ed, perjury, prosecutor, right-hand man, scapegoat, State of the Union speech, testify, testimony, under oath, fall guy2. translationThe charge against Mr. Libby, Mr. Wells said, amounted to ―a weak, paper thin circumstantial case about ‗he said-she said.‘‖3. Answer the questionQuestion 1Lesson Seventeen1.words to knowchampion (v.), coercion, disparate forces, diplomacy, endorsement, confirmation hearing, proponent, smart power, soft power, think tank, Islamist, jihadist terrorism2. translationThere was never a president, including Bush, who didn‘t want to be smart about using power and who repudiated feasible diplomatic solutions in order to pursue foreign-policy goals militaristically instead.3. Answer the questionQuestion 2Lesson Nineteen1. words to knowAbove politics, annus horribilis, apolitical stand, constitutional monarch/ monarchy, cult of personality, dissolve Parliament, figurehead, head of state, parliamentary democracy, take sides, the Commonwealth, usurp power, waive the power2. translationThis apolitical stance has made it possible for the political culture of Great Britain to assimilate, with relative ease, theories that would appear on the face of things to be radically at odds with a system of monarchical government--for example, socialism.3. Answer the questionQuestion 4Lesson Twenty-four1. words to knowbinge, carbon footprint, chump change, disposable income, frugal, garage sale, grapple with, guilt trip, hippie movement, hybrid car, ostentation, stock options, the yuppie period2. translationThey may have disposable income, but whatever they make, they live below their means in a conscious effort to tread lightly on the earth.3. Answer the questionQuestion 1.5Lesson Twenty-five1. words to knowAhead-of–the-curve, ascendancy, baby boomers, bleeding edge, clinical genomics, genome, imaging cutting-edge, longevity, navigate, offshore, overtax, simulation, unsung hero,2. translationThe already overtaxed U.S. healthcare system will be forced to take on more patients because of the many aging baby boomers, the influx of immigrants, and the millions of now uninsured Americans who would be covered under a national healthcare plan likely to be enacted in the next president's administration.3.

But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem – how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus's six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildings – theaters and offices as well as classrooms – are more than sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter . The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery”. A few modernbuildings recover heat, but the University's system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students, and the larger a student is, the more heat he produces . It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working overweight male genius.1. What is characteristic of the buildings on Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh?A. They are more comfortable to live in than other buildings.B. They collect body heat to regulate the temperature inside.C. They use light bulbs to heat the classrooms.D. They consume less fuel to keep the classrooms cool.2. According to the passage, the technique of heat recovery is used ________.A. to provide a special form of air-conditioningB. to provide heat for the hot water systemC. to find out the source of heatD. to collect heat and reuse it3. The phrase “the hottest prospect” in this passage refers to ________.A. the person who suffers most from heatB. the person who needs more heat than othersC. the person who gives off most heatD. the person who make better use of body heat4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according the passage?A. The harder a student works, the more heat he or she produces.B. The bigger a student is, the more heat he or she sends out.C. A girl student sends out more heat than a boy student.D. A large and hard-working boy student gives off the most heat.5. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?A. Recovery of Body Heat C. Modern Building's Heat SystemB. Body Heat and Sex D.
