一、下册教材课文中的重点句（有页码）Unit 11. The purpose of making a decision is to establish and achieve organizational goals and objectives. 第1页第1段2. Managers must make a best guess at what the future will be and try to leave as little as possible to chance. 2页1段3. For managers，every decision has constraints based on policies，procedures，laws，precedents，and the like.2页2段4. But the tendency to simplify blinds them to other alternatives. 2页2段5. Decision makers must have some way of determining which of several alternatives is best-that is，which contributes the most to the achievement of organizational goals. 2页4段6. Because different individuals frequently have different ideas about how to attain the goals，the best choice may depend on who makes the decision. 2页4段7. When presented with a common case，sales managers tend to see sales problems，production managers see production problems，and so on. 3页2段8. People often assume that a decision is an isolated phenomenon. 3页4段9. The literary critics should be as objective as possible in analysis and judgment.5页1点10. She is always ready to argue over the smallest issues. 6页3点11. I argued him out of going on such a dangerous journey. 6页3点12. Although he thought he was helping us with the job，he was only in the way.7页1点Unit 213. The terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon are inadequate here. 29页1段14. Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is a region of space into which matter has fallen and from which nothing can escape. 29页1段15. The collapse of a star may produce a White Dwarf or a neutron star-a star，whose matter is so dense that it continually shrinks by the force of its own gravity.29页2段16. Imagine the earth reduced to the size of a marble，but still having the same mass and a stronger gravitational pull，and you have some idea of the force of a black hole. 30页1段17. Some stars explode when their density increases to a particular point.29页2段18. This process of shrinking may be so intense that a black hole results.30页2行19. It is only recently that astronomers have begun specific research into black holes. 30页2段20. There might be a massive black hole at the center of our galaxy swallowing up stars at a very rapid rate. 31页2段21. Very advanced technology could one day make use of the energy of black holes for mankind. 31页2段22. He has exerted all his strength to attain his goal. 34页1点23. He has been exerting a lot of pressure on me to change my mind.34页1点24. The collapse of the government left the country in confusion. 34页2点25. The research group launched out into a series of new experiments. 35页3点Unit 326. Each time it is shown，the program starts a nationwide debate on the subject. 49页3段27. In addition to this，a second doctor must confirm that these criteria have been met. 50页1段28 In the vast majority of euthanasia cases，what the patient is actually asking for is something else. 50页4段29. Euthanasia doesn’t take into account that there are ways of caring for the dying. 50页5段30. Anything that legally allows the shortening of life does make those people more vulnerable. Instructions will be sent immediately on request. 50页5段31. Instructions will be sent immediately on request. 54页1点32. Many people opposed building a new highway because of the great cost.55页3点33. She bore the whole burden of raising two children alone. 55页4点34. Students are heavily burdened with home assignments. 55页4点35. The committee demands that no member (should) be absent. 56页1点Unit 436. There are estimated to be more than 20，000 overseas domestic servants working in Britain. 84页1段37. And they can have their passports removed，making leaving or “escaping”virtually impossible. 84页2段38. Of these 20，000，just under 2000 are being exploited and abused by their employers.84页1段39. In one of them， a Filipino maid was executed in Singapore after being convicted of murder，despite protests from various quarters that her guilt had not been adequately established. 84页3段40. I was supposed to be paid ￡120 but I never received that amount. 85页2段41. My employers always threatened to report me to the Home Office or the police. 85页4段42. Many people doubt whether this will successfully reduce the incidence of abuse. 85页6段43. So if they do complain，they risk being deported.86页1段44. It is the right to change employers which distinguishes employment from slavery. 86页2段45. The student exploits every possibility to learn English. 88页1点46.

There are likely to be more difficulties than you were prepared for. 91页1点Unit 549. The new music was built out of materials already in existence. 105页1段50. What happened，as well as it can be put into words，was this.106页1段51. They freely took over elements from jazz，from American country music，and as time went on from even more diverse sources. 106页1段52. What developed was a music readily taking on various forms and capable of an almost limitless range of expression. 106页1段53. In studio recordings，new techniques made possible effects that not even an electronic band could produce live. 106页2段54. Electronic amplifiers also made possible a fantastic increase in volume，the music becoming as loud and penetrating as the human ear could stand…106页2段55. Often music was played out of doors，where nature provided the environment. 107页1段56. The social and political transformation of a country is essential to the development of the society. 110页1点57. All theories originate from practice and in turn serve practice. 110页2点Unit 658. Robots，becoming increasingly prevalent in factories and industrial plants throughout the developed world，are programmed and engineered to perform industrial tasks without human intervention. 138页1段59. The robots used in nuclear power plants handle the radioactive materials，preventing human personnel from being exposed to radiation. 138页3段60. Robots differ from automatic machines in that after completion of one specific task，they can be reprogrammed by a computer to do another one. 139页1段61. Other engineers are writing new programs allowing robots to make decisions such as whether to discard defective parts in finished products. 139页3段62. These future robots，assembled with a sense of touch and the ability to see and make decisions，will have plenty of work to do. 140页2段63. Anyone wanting to understand the industry of the future will have to know about robotics. 140页2段64. His words cast a new light on the problem. 143页2点65. We should be aware of the dangers of exposing children to violence on TV.143页3点Unit766. People in advanced industrial societies are increasingly concerned with opportunities for leisure and what they can do in their leisure time. 160页1段67. Generally speaking，the quality of life，especially as seen by the individual，is meaningful in terms of the degree to which these various areas of life are available or provide satisfaction to the individual. 160页2段68. The specific use of leisure varies from individual to individual. 161页2段69. Experiences of a different nature，be it television watching or bird-watching，can lead to a self-renewal and a more “balanced”way of life.161页3段70. Such attitudes amount to a recognition that leisure is an important area of life and a belief that leisure can and should be put to good use. 161页5段71. To impart positive leisure attitudes to the general public is essential for motivating them to use their leisure in creative and satisfying ways. 162页1段72. It can be argued that the people with whom we come into contact in these various contexts are all likely to have exerted some influence in shaping our attitudes，interests and even skills relevant to how we handle leisure. 162页1段73. The more seriously this is sought，the more likely positive attitudes towards leisure as well as academic work will be encouraged. 162页3段74. You have to attach a label to a box while posting it. 164页1点75. We should make our lives relevant to the needs of the country. 165页3点76. He always has some positive ideas on company policy. 165页4点Unit 877. The problem of Jet Lag is one every international traveler comes across at some time.190页1段78. The effects of rapid travel on the body are actually far more disturbing than we realize.190页2段79. He later blamed his poor judgment on Jet Lag. 190页3段80. Now that we understand what Jet Lag is，we can go some way to overcoming it. 191页2段81. In time，the physiological system will reset itself，but it does take time.191页5段82. It is not feasible to wait four days until the body is used to the new time zone.192页2段83. That is by no means the best way of proceeding. 195页1点84. He didn’t take alarm at the news. 196页1点85. The pianist promoted a grand benefit concert. 196页3点86. He didn’t want to be tied to a steady job. 197页4点Unit 987. The nearer a society approximates to zero population growth，the older its population is likely to be-at least，for any future that concerns us now. 212页1段88. To these now familiar facts a number of further facts may be added，some of them only recently recognized. 212页2段89. There is the appreciation of the salient historical truth that the aging of advanced societies has been a sudden change. 213页1段90. Taken together，these things have implications which are only beginning to be acknowledged. 213页2段91. There is often resistance to the idea that it is because the birthrate fell earlier in Western and Northwestern Europe than elsewhere，…that we have grown so old.213页3段92. Long life is altering our society，of course，but in experiential terms.213页3段93. But too much of that lengthened experience，even in the wealthy West，will be experience of poverty and neglect，unless we do something about it.213页3段94. Your account of what happened approximates to the real facts. 216页1点95. His earnings are out of all proportion to his skill and ability. 217页2点Unit 1096. A minor-party or independent candidate，…can draw votes away from the major-party nominees but stands almost no chance of defeating them. 240页1段97. Party loyalty has declined in recent decades，but more than two-thirds of the nation‘s voters still identify themselves as Democrats or Republicans. 241页1段98. In deciding whether to pursue a course of action，they try to estimate its likely impact on the voters. 241页2段99. The slogan was meant as a reminder to the candidate and the staff to keep the campaign focused on the nation‘s slow-moving economy. 241页2段100. As in 1980，when Jimmy Carter lost to Ronald Reagan during tough economic times，the voters were motivated largely by a desire for change. 241页2段101. Whether voters accept this image，however，depends more on external factors than on a candidate‘s personal characteristics. 241页3段102. As in 1980，when Jimmy Carter lost to Ronald Reagan during tough economic times，the voters were motivated largely by a desire for change. 241页2段103. Bush tried to stir images of his strong leadership of the war，but voters remained concerned about the economy. 241页3段104. The invention is going to cause a big stir in the world. 247页3点105. You should save up money to make provision for the future. 247页4点Unit 11106. Animal research is irrelevant to our health and it can often produce misleading results. 263页4段107. It would be completely irresponsible and unethical to use drugs on people that had not been thoroughly tested on animals. 264页1段108. If thalidomide were invented today，it would never be released for human use because new tests on pregnant animals would reveal the dangers. 264页1段109. The number of animals used in laboratory tests has declined over the last 20 years. 265页1段110. One experiment in nerve regeneration involves cutting a big nerve in a rat‘s leg，leaving its leg paralysed. 265页3段111. Even with these new developments in research，only a tiny proportion of all tests are done without using animals at some stage. 265页4段112. The use of animals in experiments cannot stop immediately if medical research is to continue and consumer products are to be properly tested. 265页4段113. When it comes to research into heart disease and its effects on the body，we do not have adequate substitutes for the use of animals. 266页1段114. As research techniques become more advanced，the number of animals used in experiments may decrease，but stopping testing on animals altogether is a long way away. 266页2段115. I was surprised to see his room in such a litter. 269页2点116. The conditions that existed ten years ago are reproduced today. 270页4点Unit 12117. Until recently daydreaming was generally considered either a waste of time or a symptom of neurotic tendencies. 291页1段118. At its best，daydreaming was considered a compensatory substitute for the real things in life. 291页1段119. As with anything carried to excess，daydreaming can be harmful. 291页2段120. There is a growing body of evidence to support the fact that most people suffer from a lack of daydreaming rather than an excess of it. 291页2段121. Daydreaming significantly contributes to intellectual growth，power of concentration，and the ability to interact and communicate with others. 292页2段122. Daydreaming resulted in improved self-control and enhanced creative thinking ability. 292页4段123. Contrary to popular belief，constant and conscious effort at solving a problem is，in reality，one of the most inefficient ways of coping with it. 292页5段124. Whenever confronted with a task which seemed too hard to be dealt with，he would stretch out on his laboratory sofa and let fantasies flood his mind. 293页1段125. The important thing to remember is to picture these desired objectives as if you had already attained them. 294页2段126. Daydreaming is highly beneficial to your physical and mental well-being.294页4段127. Escape being impossible，the rabbit turned to confront the dog. 299页2点128. The difficulties that confront us cannot be overcome. 299页2点Unit 13129. He cannot be really happy if he is compelled by society to do what he does not enjoy doing，or if what he enjoys doing is ignored by society as of no value or importance. 326页1段130. In a society where slavery in the strict sense has been abolished，the sign that what a man does is of social value is that he is paid money to do it. 326页1段131. What from the point of view of society is necessary labor is from his own point of view voluntary play. 326页3段132. Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends，not on the job itself，but on the tastes of the individual who undertakes it. 327页1段133. It is already possible to imagine a society in which the majority of the population，that is to say，its laborers，will have almost as much leisure as in earlier times was enjoyed by the aristocracy. 327页3段134. The masses are more likely to replace an unchanging ritual by fashion which it will be in the economic interest of certain people to change as often as possible. 327页3段135. Workers seldom commit acts of violence，because they can put their aggression into their work，be it physical like the work of a smith，or mental like the work of a scientist or an artist. 328页1段136. They were often compelled to work twelve or fourteen hours a day. 330页1点137. The police undertook detailed and comprehensive investigations into the case. 331页2点Unit 14138. The device，though，would do much more than capture a lecture.359页1段139. It was a microcassette found in Kathleen Weinstein‘s shirt pocket that not only led police to her alleged killer but also revealed the New Jersey teacher to be a woman of extraordinary courage and compassion. 359页1段140. Grabbing Weinstein by the jaw，the attacker told her he had a gun and forced her into the Camry. 359页2段141. It was there，police believe，that Weinstein was able to activate the recorder she kept in her bag. 359页2段142. Her power of persuasion were to no avail. 360页3段143. Weinstein’s body，with hands and feet bound，was discovered by a hiker on March 360页3段144. Given her fate，the name of the program has a heartbreaking resonance to it：Random Acts of Kindness. 361页1段145. The operation fostered hope in the patient. 364页2点146. We protested but to no avail.147. He was firmly convinced that risk accompanies decisions. 366页5点Unit 15148. The computer makes possible a marvellous leap in human proficiency.389页1段149. But the question persists and indeed grows whether the computer will make it easier or harder for human beings to know who they really are…。

大学英语自学教程（下）01-A. What Is a Decision?A decision is a choice made from among alternative courses of action that are available. The purpose of making a decision is to establish and achieve organizational goals and objectives. The reason for making a decision is that a problem exists, goals or objectives are wrong, or something is standing in the way of accomplishing them.Thus the decision-making process is fundamental to management. Almost everything a manager does involves decisions, indeed, some suggest that the management process is decision making. Although managers cannot predict the future, many of their decisions require that they consider possible future events. Often managers must make a best guess at what the future will be and try to leave as little as possible to chance, hut since uncertainty is always there, risk accompanies decisions. Sometimes the consequences of a poor decision are slight; at other times they are serious.Choice is the opportunity to select among alternatives. If there is no choice, there is no decision to be made. Decision making is the process of choosing, and many decisions have a broad range of choice. For example, a student may be able to choose among a number of different courses in order to implement the decision to obtain a college degree. For managers, every decision has constraints based on policies, procedures, laws, precedents, and the like. These constraints exist at all levels of the organization.Alternatives are the possible courses of action from which choices can be made. If there are no alternatives, there is no choice and, therefore, no decision. If no alternatives are seen, often it means that a thorough job of examining the problems has not been done. For example, managers sometimes treat problems in an either/or fashion; this is their way of simplifying complex problems. But the tendency to simplify blinds them to other alternatives.At the managerial level, decision making includes limiting alternatives as well as identifying them, and the range is from highly limited to practically unlimited.Decision makers must have some way of determining which of several alternatives is best -- that is, which contributes the most to the achievement of organizational goals. An organizational goal is an end or a state of affairs the organization seeks to reach. Because individuals (and organizations) frequently have different ideas about how to attain the goals, the best choice may depend on who makes the decision. Frequently, departments or units within an organization make decisions that are good for them individually but that are less than optimal for the larger organization. Called suboptimization, this is a trade-off that increases the advantages to one unit or function but decreases the advantages to another unit or function. For example, the marketing manager may argue effectively for an increased advertising budget. In the larger scheme of things, however, increased funding for research to improve the products might be more beneficial to the organization.These trade-offs occur because there are many objectives that organizations wish to attainsimultaneously. Some of these objectives are more important than others, but the order and degree of importance often vary from person to person and from department to department. Different managers define the same problem in different terms. When presented with a common case, sales managers tend to see sales problems, production managers see production problems, and so on.The ordering and importance of multiple objectives is also based, in part, on the values of the decision maker. Such values are personal; they are hard to understand, even by the individual, because they are so dynamic and complex. In many business situations different people's values about acceptable degrees of risk and profitability cause disagreement about the correctness of decisions.People often assume that a decision is an isolated phenomenon. But from a systems point of view, problems have multiple causes, and decisions have intended and unintended consequences. An organization is an ongoing entity, and a decision made today may have consequences far into the future. Thus the skilled manager looks toward the future consequences of current decisions. 01-B. Secrets of Success at an InterviewThe subject of today's talk is interviews.The key words here are preparation and confidence, which will carry you far.Do your homework first.Find out all you can about the job you are applying for and the organization you hope to work for.Many of the employers I interviewed made the same criticism of candidates. "They have no idea what the day to day work of the job brings about. They have vague notions of "furthering the company's prospects’ or of 'serving the community', but have never taken the trouble to find out the actual tasks they will be required to do.”Do not let this be said of you. It shows an unattractive indifference to your employer and to your job.Take the time to put yourself into the interviewer's place. He wants somebody who is hard-working with a pleasant personality and a real interest in the job.Anything that you find out about the prospective employer can be used to your advantage during the interview to show that you have bothered to master some facts about the people who you hope to work for.Write down (and remember) the questions you want to ask the interviewer(s) so that you are not speechless when they invite your questions. Make sure that holidays and pay are not the first things you ask about. If all your questions have been answered during the interview, reply: "In fact, I did have several questions, but you have already answered them all.”Do not be afraid to ask for clarification of something that has been said during the interview if you want to be sure what was implied, but do be polite.Just before you go to the interview, look again at the original advertisement that you answered,any correspondence from your prospective employer, photocopies of your letter of application or application form and your resume.Then you will remember what you said and what they want. This is very important if you have applied for many jobs in a short time as it is easy to become confused and give an impression of inefficiency.Make sure you know where and when you have to report for the interview. Go to the building (but not inside the office) a day or two before, if necessary, to find out how long the journey takes and where exactly the place is.Aim to arrive five or ten minutes early for the actual interview, then you will have a little time in hand and you will not panic if you are delayed. You start at a disadvantage if you arrive worried and ten minutes late.Dress in clean, neat, conservative clothes. Now is NOT the time to experiment with the punk look or (girls) to wear low-cut dresses with miniskirts. Make sure that your shoes, hands and hair (and teeth) are clean and neat.Have the letter inviting you for an interview ready to show in case there is any difficulty in communication.You may find yourself facing one interviewer or a panel. The latter is far more intimidating, but do not let it worry you too much. The interviewer will probably have a table in front of him/her. Do not put your things or arms on it.If you have a bag or a case, put it on the floor beside your chair. Do not clutch it nervously or, worse still, drop it, spilling everything.Shake hands if the interviewer offers his hand first. There is little likelihood that a panel of five wants to go though the process of all shaking hands with you in turn. So you do not be upset if no one offers.Shake hands firmly -- a weak hand suggests a weak personality, and a crushing grip is obviously painful. Do not drop the hand as soon as yours has touched it as this will seem to show you do not like the other person.Speak politely and naturally even if you are feeling shy. Think before you answer any questions. If you cannot understand, ask: "Would you mind rephrasing the question, please?" The question will then be repeated in different words.If you are not definitely accepted or turned down on the spot, ask: "When may I expect to hear the results of this interview?"If you do receive a letter offering you the job, you must reply by letter (keep a photocopy) as soon as possible.Good luck!02-A. Black HolesWhat is a black hole? Well, it's difficult to answer this question, since the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon are inadequate here. Astronomers andscientists think that a black hole is a region of space (not a thing ) into which matter has fallen and from which nothing can escape ?not even light. So we can't see a black hole. A black hole exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only space -- or so we think. How can this happen?The theory is that some stars explode when their density increases to a particular point; they collapse and sometimes a supernova occurs. From earth, a supernova looks like a very bright light in the sky which shines even in the daytime. Supernovae were reported by astronomers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Some people think that the Star of Bethlehem could have been a supernova. The collapse of a star may produce a White Dwarf or a neutron star -- a star, whose matter is so dense that it continually shrinks by the force of its own gravity. But if the star is very large (much bigger than our sun) this process of shrinking may be so intense that a black hole results. Imagine the earth reduced to the size of a marble, but still having the same mass and a stronger gravitational pull, and you have some idea of the force of a black hole. Any matter near the black hole is sucked in. It is impossible to say what happens inside a black hole. Scientists have called the boundary area around the hole the "event horizon." We know nothing about events which happen once objects pass this boundary. But in theory, matter must behave very differently inside the hole.For example, if a man fell into a black hole, he would think that he reached the center of it very quickly. However an observer at the event horizon would think that the man never reached the center at all. Our space and time laws don't seem to apply to objects in the area of a black hole. Einstein's relativity theory is the only one which can explain such phenomena. Einstein claimed that matter and energy are interchangeable, so that there is no "absolute" time and space. There are no constants at all, and measurements of time and space depend on the position of the observer. They are relative. We do not yet fully understand the implications of the relativity theory; but it is interesting that Einstein's theory provided a basis for the idea of black holes before astronomers started to find some evidence for their existence. It is only recently that astronomers have begun specific research into black holes. In August 1977, a satellite was launched to gather data about the 10 million black holes which are thought to be in the Milky Way. And astronomers are planning a new observatory to study the individual exploding stars believed to be black holes,The most convincing evidence of black holes comes frown research into binary star systems. Binary stars, as their name suggests, are twin stars whose position in space affects each other. In some binary systems, astronomers have shown that there is an invisible companion star, a "partner" to the one which we can see in the sky. Matter from the one which we can see is being pulled towards the companion star. Could this invisible star, which exerts such a great force, be a black hole? Astronomers have evidence of a few other stars too, which might have black holes as companions.The story of black holes is just beginning. Speculations about them. are endless. There might bea massive black hole at the center of our galaxy swallowing up stars at a very rapid rate. Mankind may one day meet this fate. On the other hand, scientists have suggested that very advanced technology could one day make use of the energy of black holes for mankind. These speculations sound like science fiction. But the theory of black holes in space is accepted by many serious scientists and astronomers. They show us a world which operates in a totally different way from our own and they question our most basic experience of space and time.02-B. Worlds within WorldsFirst of all let us consider the earth (that is to say, the world) as a planet revolving round the sun. The earth is one of nine planets which move in orbit round the sun. These nine planets, together with the sun, make up what is called our solar system. How this wonderful system started and what kept it working with such wonderful accuracy is largely a mystery but astronomers tell us that it is only one of millions of similar systems in space, and one of the smallest.The stars which we see glittering in the sky on a dark and cloudless night are almost certainly the suns of other solar systems more or less like our own, but they are so far away in space that it is unlikely that we shall ever get to know very much about them. About our own solar system, however, we are learning more every day.Before the American and Russian astronauts made their thrilling journeys into outer space it was difficult for us to realise what our earth looked like from hundreds of thousands of miles away, but the photographs which the astronauts were able to take show us the earth in space looking not very different from what the moon looks like when we look at it from the earth. The earth is, however, very different from the moon, which the American astronauts have found to be without life or vegetation, whereas our earth is very much alive in every respect. The moon, by the way, is called a satellite because it goes round our earth as well as round the sun. In other words, it goes round the sun with our earth.The surface of our earth is covered by masses of land and larger areas of water. Let us consider the water areas first. The total water area is about three times as large as the land area. The very large separate areas of water are called "oceans” and the lesser areas are called "seas.”In most of the oceans and seas some of the water is found to be flowing in a particular direction -- that is to say, from one part towards another part of the ocean or sea concerned. The water which is flowing in this manner is said to be moving as a "current." There are many thousands of currents in the waters of the oceans and seas, but only certain of the stronger and better marked currents are specially named and of great importance. These currents are important because they affect the climate of the land areas close to where they flow and also because they carry large quantities of microscopic animal and vegetable life which forms a large part of the food for fishes.The nature and characteristics of the surface of the land areas of the earth vary a great deal from area to area and from place to place. The surface of some areas consists largely of high mountains and deep valleys whilst, in other areas, most of the surface consists of plains. If onemade a journey over the Continents one would find every kind of surface including mountain ranges, plains, plateaux, deserts, tropical forestlands and empty areas covered permanently by ice and snow.When thinking and learning about the world we should not forget that our world is the home of a very great many different people -- peoples with different coloured skins, living very different lives and having very different ideas about a great many important things such as religion, government, education and social behaviour.The circumstances under which different people live make a great difference between the way in which they live and the way in which we live, and it ought to be our business to try to understand those different circumstances so that we can better understand people of other lands. Above all, we should avoid deciding what we think about people different from ourselves without first having learned a great deal about them and the kind of lives they have to live. It is true to say that the more we learn about other people, the better we understand their ideas and, as a rule, the better we like those people themselves.03-A. Euthanasia: For and Against"We mustn't delay any longer ... swallowing is difficult ... and breathing, that's also difficult. Those muscles are weakening too ... we mustn't delay any longer.”These were the words of Dutchman Cees van Wendel de Joode asking his doctor to help him die. Affected with a serious disease, van Wendel was no longer able to speak clearly and he knew there was no hope of recovery and that his condition was rapidly deteriorating.Van Wendel's last three months of life before being given a final, lethal injection by his doctor were filmed and first shown on television last year in the Netherlands. The programme has since been bought by 20 countries and each time it is shown, it starts a nationwide debate on the subject.The Netherlands is the only country in Europe which permits euthanasia, although it is not technically legal there. However, doctors who carry out euthanasia under strict guidelines introduced by the Dutch Parliament two years ago are usually not prosecuted. The guidelines demand that the patient is experiencing extreme suffering, that there is no chance of a cure, and that the patient has made repeated requests for euthanasia. In addition to this, a second doctor must confirm that these criteria have been met and the death must be reported to the police department.Should doctors be allowed to take the lives of others? Dr. Wilfred van Oijen, Cees van Wendel's doctor, explains how he looks at the question:"Well, it's not as if I'm planning to murder a crowd of people with a machine gun. In that case, killing is the worst thing I can imagine. But that's entirely different from my work as a doctor. I care for people and I try to ensure that they don't suffer too much. Th at's a very different thing.”Many people, though, are totally against the practice of euthanasia. Dr. Andrew Ferguson, Chairman of the organisation Healthcare Opposed to Euthanasia, says that "in the vast majorityof euthanasia cases, what the patient is actually asking for is something else. They may want a health professional to open up communication for them with their loved ones or family -- there's nearly always another question behind the question.”Britain also has a strong tradition of hospices -- special hospitals which care only for the dying and their special needs. Cicely Saunders, President of the National Hospice Council and a founder member of the hospice movement, argues that euthanasia doesn't take into account that there are ways of caring for the dying. She is also concerned that allowing euthanasia would undermine the need for care and consideration of a wide range of people: "It's very easy in society now for the elderly, the disabled and the dependent to feel that they are burdens, and therefore that they ought to opt out. I think that anything that legally allows the shortening of life does make those people more vulnerable.”Many find this prohibition of an individual's right to die paternalistic. Although they agree that life is important and should be respected, they feel that the quality of life should not be ignored. Dr. van Oijen believes that people have the fundamental right to choose for themselves if they want to die: "What those people who oppose euthanasia are telling me is that dying people haven't the right. And that when people are very ill, we are all afraid of their death. But there are situations where death is a friend. And in those cases, why not?But "why not?" is a question which might cause strong emotion. The film showing Cees van Wendel's death was both moving and sensitive. His doctor was clearly a family friend; his wife had only her husband's interests at heart. Some, however, would argue that it would be dangerous to use this particular example to support the case for euthanasia. Not all patients would receive such a high level of individual care and attention.03-B. Advantage UnfairAccording to the writer Walter Ellis, author of a book called the Oxbridge Conspiracy, Britain is still dominated by the old-boy network: it isn't what you know that matters, but who you know. He claims that at Oxford and Cambridge Universities (Oxbridge for short) a few select people start on an escalator ride which, over the years, carries them to the tops of British privilege and power. His research revealed that the top professions all continue to be dominated, if not 90 per cent, then 60 or 65 per cent, by Oxbridge graduates.And yet, says Ellis, Oxbridge graduates make up only two per cent of the total number of students who graduate from Britain's universities. Other researches also seem to support his belief that Oxbridge graduates start with an unfair advantage in the employment market. In the law, a recently published report showed that out of 26 senior judges appointed to the High Court last year, all of them went to private schools and 21 of them went to Oxbridge.But can this be said to amount to a conspiracy? Not according to Dr. John Rae, a former headmaster of one of Britain's leading private schools, Westminster:"I would accept that there was a bias in some key areas of British life, but that bias has now gone. Some time ago -- in the 60s and before ?entry to Oxford and Cambridge was not entirely onmerit. Now, there's absolutely no question in any objective observer's mind that, entry to Oxford and Cambridge is fiercely competitive."However, many would disagree with this. For, although over three-quarters of British pupils are educated in state schools, over half the students that go to Oxbridge have been to private, or "public" schools. Is this because pupils from Britain's private schools are more intelligent than those from state schools, or are they simply better prepared?On average, about $ 5,000 a year is spent on each private school pupil, more than twice the amount spent on state school pupils. So how can the state schools be expected to compete with the private schools when they have far fewer resources? And how can they prepare their pupils for the special entrance exam to Oxford University, which requires extra preparation, and for which many public school pupils traditionally stay at school and do an additional term?Until recently, many blamed Oxford for this bias because of the university's special entrance exam (Cambridge abolished its entrance exam in 1986). But last February, Oxford University decided to abolish the exam to encourage more state school applicants. From autumn 1996, Oxford University applicants, like applicants to other universities, will be judged only on their A level results and on their performance at interviews, although some departments might still set special tests.However, some argue that there's nothing wrong in having elite places of learning, and that by their very nature, these places should not be easily accessible. Most countries are run by an elite and have centres of academic excellence from which the elite are recruited. Walter Ellis accepts that this is true:"But in France, for example, there are something like 40 equivalents of university, which provide this elite through a much broader base. In America you've got the Ivy League, centred on Harvard and Yale, with Princeton and Stanford and others. But again, those universities together -- the elite universities -- are about ten or fifteen in number, and are being pushed along from behind by other great universities like, for example, Chicago and Berkeley. So you don't have just this narrow concentration of two universities providing a constantly replicating elite.”When it comes to Oxford and Cambridge being elitist because of the number of private school pupils they accept, Professor Stone of Oxford University argues that there is a simple fact he and his associates cannot ignore:"If certain schools do better than others then we just have to accept it. We cannot be a place for remedial education. It's not what Oxford is there to do.”However, since academic excellence does appear to be related to the amount of money spent per pupil, this does seem to imply that Prime Minister John Major's vision of Britain as a classless society is still a long way off. And it may be worth remembering that while John Major didn't himself go to Oxbridge, most of his ministers did.04-A. Slavery on Our DoorstepThere are estimated to be more than 20,000 overseas domestic servants working in Britain (theexact figure is not known because the Home Office, the Government department that deals with this, does not keep statistics). Usually, they have been brought over by foreign businessmen, diplomats or Britons returning from abroad. Of these 20,000, just under 2,000 are being exploited and abused by their employers, according to a London-based campaigning group which helps overseas servants working in Britain.The abuse can take several forms. Often the domestics are not allowed to go out, and they do not receive any payment. They can be physically, sexually and psychologically abused. And they can have their passports removed, making leaving or "escaping" virtually impossible.The sad condition of women working as domestics around the world received much media attention earlier this year in several highly publicised cases. In one of them, a Filipino maid was executed in Singapore after being convicted of murder, despite protests from various quarters that her guilt had not been adequately established. Groups like Anti-Slavery International say other, less dramatic, cases are equally deserving of attention, such as that of Lydia Garcia, a Filipino maid working in London:"I was hired by a Saudi diplomat directly from the Philippines to work in London in 1989. I was supposed to be paid $ 120 but I never received that amount. They always threatened that they would send me back to my country.”Then there is the case of Kumari from Sri Lanka. The main breadwinner in her family, she used to work for a very low wage at a tea factory in Sri Lanka. Because she found it difficult to feed her four children, she accepted a job working as a domestic in London. She says she felt like a prisoner at the London house where she worked:"No days off -- ever, no breaks at all, no proper food. I didn't have my own room; I slept on a shelf with a spad0 of only three feet above me. I wasn't allowed to talk to anybody. I wasn't even allowed to open the window. My employers always threatened to report me to the Home Office or the police.”At the end of 1994 the British Government introduced new measures to help protect domestic workers from abuse by their employers. This included increasing the minimum age of employees to 18, getting employees to read and, understand an advice leaflet, getting employers to agree to provide adequate maintenance and conditions, and to put in writing the main terms and conditions of the job (of which the employees should see a copy).However, many people doubt whether this will successfully reduce the incidence of abuse. For the main problem facing overseas maids and domestics who try to complain about cruel living and working conditions is that they do not have independent immigrant status and so cannot change employer. (They are allowed in the United Kingdom under a special concession in the immigration rules which allows foreigners to bring domestic staff with them.) So if they do complain, they risk being deported.Allowing domestic workers the freedom to seek the same type of work but with a different employer, if they so choose, is what groups like Anti-Slavery International are campaigning the。

Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 points for each item)Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “ being a writer ” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “ You ’ve got to want to write, ” I say to them, “ not want to be a writer ” .The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor —paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20 —year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer ( 自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me in my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test ——even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone witha dream must learn to live there.21. The passage is meant to ______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career22. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small.23. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn't able to produce a single book.B. He hadn't seen a change for the better.C. He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.D. He found his dream would never come true.24. “ ... people who die wondering, What if? ” (Line 3, para.3) refers to “ those ” .A. who think too much of the dark side of lifeB. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think a lot without making a decisionD. who are full of imagination even upon death25. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to ______.A. the wonderland one often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reachedD. a world that exists only in one's imaginationPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the Englishman objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对, 对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (设想)that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.26. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flatsB. people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flatsC. people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flatsD. modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living27. What is said about the blocks of flats built in the past in Britain?A. They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.B. They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.C. They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.D. They provided playground for children on the top of the buildings.28. The word “ rage ” (Line 10) means “______.”A. be ignoredB. develop with great forceC. encourage people greatlyD. be in fashion29. Some people oppose the building of flats because ______.A. the living expenses for each individual family are higherB. it involves higher cost compared with the building of housesC. they believe people like to live in houses with gardensD. the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats30. The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses .A. do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the cityB. have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service workC. take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered communityD. have to spend move money and time travelling to work every dayPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great successes at reducing population growth - but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.Brazil's population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas (通俗电视连续剧) and installment (分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil's most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.“ Alt hough they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values ——not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working, ” says Martine. “ They sent this image to all pa rts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package. ”Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. “ This led to an enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible (不相容的) with unlimited reproduction, ” says Martine.31. According to the passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth ______.A. by educating its citizensB. by careful family planningC. by developing TV programmesD. by chance32. According to the passage, many Third World countries ______.A. haven't attached much importance to birth controlB. would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rateC. haven't yet found an effective measure to control their populationD. neglected the role of TV plays in family planning33. The phrase “ puts it down to ” (Line 1, Para. 3) is closest in meaning to “______.”A. attributes it toB. finds it a reason forC. sums it up asD. compares it to34. Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because ______..A. they keep people sitting long hours watching TVB. they have gradually changed people’s way of lifeC. people are drawn to their attractive packageD. they popularize birth control measures35. What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?A. The increase in birth rate will promote consumption.B. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.C. Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory.D. A country’s production is limited by its population growth.Ⅳ.Word Spelling (10 points,1 point for two items)36.请求;恳求v. s37.电子的; a. e38.运动员; n. s39.吉他; n. g40.把……分类;把……分等级v. c 41.中小学校长; n. h42.提名;任命n. n 43. 种植园;大农场n. p44. 躲避;逃避v. e45. 含义;暗示n. i46.滋补品;营养品n. n47.排队; v. q48. 治疗的;补救的a. r49.排除;消灭v. e50.放松;松弛n. r51. 思索;推测v. s52.议会的;国会的a. p53.情况;环境n. c54.管理;行政n. a55.作为...的动机;激发v. mⅤ.

The Language of Confidence语言的信心The language we use programs our brains. Mastering our language gives us a great degree of mastery over our lives and our destinies. It is important to use the language in the best way possible in order to dramatically improve our quality of life.语言的使用开发了我们的智力，控制我们的语言很大程度的控制了我们的人生和命运。
为了提高我们的生活质量最好的方法是语言的使用，这非常重要。
Even the smallest of words can have the deepest effect on our subconscious mind, which is like a child, and it doesn't really understand the difference between what really happens and what you imagine. It is eager to please and willing to carry out any commands that you give it -- whether you do this knowingly or not is entirely up to you.甚至最小的词在我们的潜意识里有着这深远的作用，就像一个孩子，不真正明白两者之间发生了什么不同和你怎么想的，他渴望令人喜欢，乐意执行你给的任何命令。
无论你这是故意与否完全的取决于你。
"Try"It is a small word yet it has an amazing impact upon us. If someone says, "I'll try to do that" you know that they are not going to be pulling their whole heart into it, and may not even do it at all. How often do you use the word try when talking about the things that matter to you? Do you say "I'll try to be more confident" or "I'll try to do that" or "I'll try to call"? Think about something that you would like to achieve, and say it to yourself in two different ways. Firstly say, "I'll try to… " and notice how you feel. Next say, "I will do…" and see how you feel. The latter makes you feel better than the first one, doesn't it? It gives you a sense of determination, a feeling that it will be done. Listen to the people around you and when they say they will try notice if it gets done or not. Eliminate the word try from your dictionary and see how your life improves.努力这是个很小的词却对我们有着令人惊讶的影响力。
