B2.1）F 2) FText 31.George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was born in Dublin, the son of a civil servant. His education was irregular, due to his dislike of any organized training. After working in an estate agent's office for a while he moved to London as a young man (1876), where he established himself as a leading music and theatre critic in the eighties and nineties and became a prominent member of the Fabian Society, for which he composed many pamphlets. He began his literary career as a novelist; as a fervent advocate of the new theatre of Ibsen (The Quintessence of Ibsenism, 1891) he decided to write plays in order to illustrate his criticism of the English stage. His earliest dramas were called appropriately Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant (1898). Among these, Widower's Houses and Mrs. Warren's Profession savagely attack social hypocrisy, while in plays such as Arms and the Man and The Man of Destiny the criticism is less fierce. Shaw's radical rationalism, his utter disregard of conventions, his keen dialectic interest and verbal wit often turn the stage into a forum of ideas, and nowhere more openly than in the famous discourses on the Life Force, «Don Juan in Hell», the third act of the dramatization of woman's love chase of man, Man and Superman (1903).2.

We see this issue being won or lost not in Washington but out in the countryside.”Adds Arthur Flemming, former U.

Rubin ________ Greenspan ________ at odds.3. Visitors ________ flocking to Mao ’s birth place.4. ________ man ________ quizzed after ________ wife is knifed in ________ sports store.Part Ⅱ Read the following passage and answer the Questions A 5-34 (1% for each,30%) and B 35-44 (2% for each,20%)A Tuition Reform for Higher EducationChinese institutions of higher learning have quickened their pace of reform in recent years. Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non —compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.The reform will take effect in two directions. State—financed students will begin paying part of the costs of their education, and more self—paying students will be accepted.In August 1989, under the direction of the State council, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Sate Price Bureau drew up stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning. Beginning from that year, freshmen at regular universities and colleges and professional schools (including cadres taking special training courses and students working on a second degree) were charged 100 yuan (about us $17) each for their tuition fee, and this low charge is expected to be raised gradually. The figure was higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, but was capped at 300 yuan. Students living on campus paid about 20 yuan per year for accommodation and the charge was slightly higher for better furnishing. Normal school students and those admitted on scholarships need only pay for accommodation. Reduced tuitions and fees are available to students in need of financial assistance, but accommodation expenses will remain the same.In June 1992, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau decided to allow regular institutions of higher education to set their own tuition rates and charges for accommodation, short—term training programs, correspondence courses and night school. These should be determined according to the needs of each school, the abilities of students to pay and general conditions in each area. The tuition for students in the sciences and engineering can range from 300 to 500 yuan per academic year. Liberal arts, history and economics students of the fine arts pay 400 to 600 yuan per year, and students of the fine arts 400 to 750 yuan. Statistics for 1992 show students paid an average of 340 yuan in tuition that year, only 5 percent of the real cost.Measures have been taken to limit the possible detrimental affects of rising tuition. Shanghai, for instance, exempts the children of revolutionary martyrs from paying tuition. And these costs may be reduced or waived for students with limited family financial support as their parents are either both dead or are receiving subsidiesfrom their work units. Some colleges have also set up work—study programs to benefit students with financial difficulties.Guidelines concerning self—paying students were first set out in 1989. The State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau stipulated that these students should pay 80 percent of the cost of their education. Such students who live on campus pay the standard rate for accommodation and must cover their own medical expenses. The charge for each self—paying student averaged 2 000 yuan of the cost in 1992, or 30 percent of the cost. Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units, with payment coming either in part or in full from their units, are somewhat higher. Self—paying students are not assigned jobs by the state after graduation, whereas students sent by their units will return to them after graduating.Charges for correspondence courses and night school are equal to or slightly higher than those for full-time students enrolled according to the state plan.With their improvement of their living standards and the deepening of reform, people in general accept the changes in the tuition system. To facilitate the development of higher education, the increases in tuition rates will be more flexible and diversified. Student payments will be augmented by finding from the state, enterprises and funds raised from the public. Laws and regulations will by enacted to ensure steady progress, and overseas organizations and individuals are encouraged to set up and operate schools in China.--21st Century, Apr.20, 1992 Reading ComprehensionCircle the letter that best suits the answer or completes the statement.5.

Fortunately, no lives are at stake in the latter conflict. Yet if it spreads unchecked, the rest of the world is sure to feel the pain of it.密 封 线 内 不 要 答 题It's hard to decide whether the U.S. or Europe deserves the most contempt for expanding their trade war. The first fight, over bananas, is essentially a struggle between two fruit distributors with strong political connections. Now Washington and Brussels are escalatingtheir battle over beef, with European farmers stooping to science in their claims that hormone-treated American beef is unsafe.In his first term in office, President Bill Clinton teamed up with the Republicans to push major free-trade liberalizations. Now, however, he seems bent on pursuing 'level even if playing fields,'torpedoing the world economy. The latest salvo was fired this week, with the U.S. announcing it has targeted close to $1 billion of European products for 100% tariffs if the European Union doesn't drop the hormone nonsense.The move follows an earlier announcement that the U.S. administration will fight Europe's banana import regime by hitting a range of European goods with prohibitive tariffs. Add to this renewed American threats to raise the drawbridge to Russian, Japanese and Brazilian steel, as well as administration support for a congressional vote to ban Concorde flights from Europe in relation for EU threats to refuse landing rights to old-American planes retrofitted with noise reducing technology.Mr. Clinton sounded the protectionist battle cry in his January State of the Union address, where he vowed to fight for 'a freer and fairer trading system for 21st century America.' In the case of agriculture, when the respective lobbies on both sides of the Atlantic enter the fray, that translates into a sticky situation. On the whole, American farmers are major exporters. And U.S. farmers have a good case on beef hormones. But it is nonetheless dangerous for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.This is not to excuse the EU. The hormone argument is nonsense. The World Trade Organization has acknowledged as much, ordering the EU to allow imports of American meat by May 13. Brussels has responded by saying that it needs more time because European citizens, who supposedly don't like hormones in their food, would rebel against their governments if American meat suddenly appeared on their store shelves.Were it not for the high stakes involved for both producers and consumers, the argument might be amusing. When governments curtail trade the global economy shrinks and for all the jobs 'saved' by protections, there are a lot more lost. The Smoot-Hawleyagricultural protections imposed by the U.S. Congress in the late 1920s certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Mr. Clinton may believe he is fighting the good fight. But we've never thought much of the kind of war where you pose even when you win.Judge whether the following statement are True or False:35. ( ) The Trade war between the U.S. and the EU has cost no lives but is equally dangerous.36. ( ) It's very easy to decide who is to blame for expanding the trade war.37. ( ) The very beginning of the trade war suggests that it bears political significance.38. ( ) The author agrees that hormone-treated beef is harmful to one's health.39. ( ) President Bill Clinton used to be a believer of free trade, but not now.40. ( ) Level playing fields ca do good to the world economy.41. ( ) Besides its trade war with the EU, the U.S. is also in conflict with Japan, Russia and Brazil.42. ( ) The author thinks that in the case of beef, the American farmers are justified.43. ( ) The author thinks that it is a right decision for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.44. ( ) The two sides have submitted the case of beef to the WTO for settlement.for each,20%)The Rich Get Richer and ElectedBy Steven V. RobertsThe representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as thefirst-term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study based one themembers’ financial reports.Behind this remarkable a swing, the study says, are two main factors: a courtdecision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns,and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in Congress. As a result, it isincreasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women, to mountsuccessful challenges to entrenched office holders.One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns,but Congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.“The lower chamber is going upper class,” said Mark Green, the president of The Democracy Project, a public policy institute based in New York. “But this evolution from a House of Representatives to a House of Lords denies the diversity of our democracy. It establishes a de facto property qualification for office that increasingly says: low and middle income need not apply.”The Democracy Project produced the study in cooperation with the United States Public Interest Research Group, a similar institute situated in Washington. But their research was not entirely theoretical. In 1980 Mr. Green was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Congress in New York's 15th District, in Manhattan. The winner was Bill Green, one of the wealthiest members of Congress.Of Assets and MillionairesMembers of Congress must report their assets in broad categories, not exact numbers, so the figures in the study are not precise. But the minimum average wealth of the 43 lawmakers first elected last year was $251,292. Six years earlier, the 74 new members reported an average of only $41,358 in assets. With inflation figured in, the increase was almost 400 percent in real terms.Moreover, financial data on the class of 1978 indicated only one millionaire, William F. Clinger Jr., a Pennsylvania Republican. Last year's newcomers included 15 possible millionaires, more than a third of the entire group. Topping the list was Joseph J. Dioguardi, a Westchester Republican, who listed assets of $1 million to $2.46 million.The main reason for the change, Mr. Green maintains, is the Supreme Court decision of 1976 in the case of Buckley V. Valeo. In that case, the Court ruled that limits mandated by Congress on the amount a candidate could give to his or her own campaign were an unconstitutional abridgment of individual rights. At the same time, the Court upheld limits on amounts contributed by outsiders.“Quite naturally”, Mr. Green said, “this puts a premium on personal wealth.The 43 Representatives newly elected in 1984 spent an average of $459,344; of that, $50,329 was their own money in an average case. Eight of the 43 spent more密封线内不要答题than $100,000 in personal funds but the clear leader was Tommy F. Robinson, an Arkansas Democrat, who contributed $441, 167 to his own campaign. Mr. DioGuardi was next with a personal donation of $210,000.The Senate Puts an even higher premium on wealth. Last year the average candidate for the Senate spent $2 million, and the roster of millionaires in the Senate is steadily growing.The second factor putting a premium on personal wealth, Mr. Green argues, is the rapid rise of political action committees. They tend to favor incumbents with their campaign contributions, and a result, Mr. Green says, is that it takes a wealthy challenger to make a race of things.One apparent effect is the obstacle this poses for women who run for Congress. While women in rapidly rising numbers are capturing local and state offices, their representation on the national level has stayed static. The class of 1984 included only two women: Helen D. Bentley of Maryland and Jan Meyers of Kansas, both Republicans.“It is largely men who control wealth in America,” Mr. Green said, “and if wealth is a major variable in political success, that automatically means more men will run and win.”Fred Wertheimer, president of Common Cause, the public affairs lobby that , if you're not personally wealthy, and you're not willing to indebt yourself to the PAC's, you face an uphill struggle just to get your message on the table.The authors of the study argue that some form of public financing for campaigns should be instituted. “Competition for public office should be based more upon merit than money,” asserted Gene Karpinski, executive director of the public interest research group.Mr. Wertheimer argues that “members of Congress know they have a national scandal on their hands ” and are willing to consider public financing, or at least a total limit on PAC contributions. But the chances for change in the current system remain decidedly poor.Obviously the current occupants of Capitol Hill have kept their seats under the present rules, which clearly favor incumbents. Accordingly, Mr. Green maintains, Congress is still probably “several scandals away ” from a serious push to change the campaign system.密 封 线 内 不 要 答 题(From The New York Times, September 24, 1985)45.

According to the author of the study, on what basis should the political race for public office be placed?Part Ⅵ Translate the following into Chinese .(20%)How to negotiateThe US is an attractive market. Its business culture, which has brought the world “shareholder value ” and “IPOs ”, has been leading commercial thinking in recent years and will continue to do so. But whoever wants to succeed in the US needs to remember the rules of the game.US business is described by the lyrics of the song New York, New York: “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!” Yet a euphoric approach to business is by no means enough. Although business communication in the US is pleasant and easygoing, it is at the same time ruthlessly focused.Communicating is natural talent of Americans. When negotiating partners meet, the emphasis is on small talk and smiling. There is liberal use of a sense of humour that is more direct than it is in the UK. If you give a talk in America, you should speak in a relaxed way and with plenty of jokes to capture your audience's attention.《英语报刊阅读》试卷（A 卷参考答案）Part Ⅰ Reconstruct the messages of the following headlines of news stories: (1% for each, 10%) 1、The is the 2、and are3、are4、A is his aPart ⅡRead the following passage and answer the Questions A 5-34 (1% for each,30 %) and B 35-44 (2% for each,20%)A:5～9 BDCCD 10～14 CDBDA 15～19 BACDC20～24 DAABA 25～39 BACBD 30～34 ACDBCB:35～39 TFTFT 40～44 FTTFTPart ⅢRead the following passage and answer Questions 45～49 (4% for each,20%) 45.

Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part ofstate to almost exclusively according reform. Schools which once admitted students theplans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training andthose who pay their own fees.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent bytheir work groups or will pay their own way.In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of the practice guaranteed this established in 1949. Although since policy New China wasfurther sate, hindering burden to the it supply of qualified personnel, brought a heavy compulsory education in —development of higher education. Since higher education is nonthe expedite facilities and fees will help improve school appropriate China, tochargewill way their own paying As education of in this stage. an added benefit, developmentencourage students to study harder.beginwill students financed —Statedirections. two in effect take will reform Thepaying part of the costs of their education, and more self—paying students will be accepted.In August 1989, under the direction of the State council, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Sate Price Bureau drew up stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning. Beginning from that year, freshmen at regularuniversities and colleges and professional schools (including cadres taking special trainingcourses and students working on a second degree) were charged 100 yuan (about us $17)each for their tuition fee, and this low charge is expected to be raised gradually. The figurewas higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, but was capped at 300 yuan. Students living on campuspaid about 20 yuan per year for accommodation and the charge was slightly higher for betterfurnishing. Normal school students and those admitted on scholarships need only pay foraccommodation. Reduced tuitions and fees are available to students in need of financialassistance, but accommodation expenses will remain the same.In June 1992, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the StatePrice Bureau decided to allow regular institutions of higher education to set their own tuitionrates and charges for accommodation, short—term training programs, correspondence courses and night school. These should be determined according to the needs of each school,the abilities of students to pay and general conditions in each area. The tuition for students inthe sciences and engineering can range from 300 to 500 yuan per academic year. Liberal arts,history and economics students of the fine arts pay 400 to 600 yuan per year, and students ofthe fine arts 400 to 750 yuan. Statistics for 1992 show students paid an average of 340 yuanin tuition that year, only 5 percent of the real cost.Measures have been taken to limit the possible detrimental affects of risingtuition. Shanghai, for instance, exempts the children of revolutionary martyrs from paying tuition. And these costs may be reduced or waived for students with limited family financial support as their parents are either both dead or are receiving subsidies from their work units. Some colleges have also set up work—study programs to benefit students with financial difficulties.Guidelines concerning self—paying students were first set out in 1989. The State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau stipulated that these students should pay 80 percent of the cost of their education. Such students who live on campus pay the standard rate for accommodation and must cover their own medical expenses. The charge for each self—paying student averaged 2 000 yuan of the cost in 1992, or 30 percent of the cost. Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units, with payment coming either in part or in full from their units, are somewhat higher. Self—paying students are not assigned jobs by the state after graduation, whereas students sent by their units will return to them after graduating.Charges for correspondence courses and night school are equal to or slightlyhigher than those for full-time students enrolled according to the state plan.With their improvement of their living standards and the deepening of reform, people in general accept the changes in the tuition system. To facilitate the development of higher education, the increases in tuition rates will be more flexible and diversified. Student payments will be augmented by finding from the state, enterprises and funds raised from the public. Laws and regulations will by enacted to ensure steady progress, and overseas organizations and individuals are encouraged to set up and operate schools in China.--21st Century, Apr.20, 1992 Reading ComprehensionCircle the letter that best suits the answer or completes the statement.5.

Fortunately, no lives are at stake in the latter conflict. Yet if it spreadsunchecked, the rest of the world is sure to feel the pain of it.It's hard to decide whether the U.S. or Europe deserves the most contempt for expandingfruittwo between struggle a essentially is bananas, over fight, first The war. trade their distributors with strong political connections. Now Washington and Brussels are escalatingtheir battle over beef, with European farmers stooping to science in their claims that hormone-treated American beef is unsafe.In his first term in office, President Bill Clinton teamed up with the Republicans to pushmajor free-trade liberalizations. Now, however, he seems bent on pursuing 'level even ifplaying fields,'torpedoing the world economy. The latest salvo was fired this week, with theU.S. announcing it has targeted close to $1 billion of European products for 100% tariffs ifthe European Union doesn't drop the hormone nonsense.The move follows an earlier announcement that the U.S. administration will fight Europe's banana import regime by hitting a range of European goods with prohibitive tariffs.Add to this renewed American threats to raise the drawbridge to Russian, Japanese andBrazilian steel, as well as administration support for a congressional vote to ban Concordeflights from Europe in relation for EU threats to refuse landing rights to old-American planesretrofitted with noise reducing technology.Mr. Clinton sounded the protectionist battle cry in his January State of the Union address,where he vowed to fight for 'a freer and fairer trading system for 21st century America.' Inthe case of agriculture, when the respective lobbies on both sides of the Atlantic enter thefray, that translates into a sticky situation. On the whole, American farmers are major exporters. And U.S. farmers have a good case on beef hormones. But it is nonetheless dangerous for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.This is not to excuse the EU. The hormone argument is nonsense. The World Trade Organization has acknowledged as much, ordering the EU to allow imports of Americanmeat by May 13. Brussels has responded by saying that it needs more time because European citizens, who supposedly don't like hormones in their food, would rebel againsttheir governments if American meat suddenly appeared on their store shelves.Were it not for the high stakes involved for both producers and consumers, theargument might be amusing. When governments curtail trade the global economy shrinksand for all the jobs 'saved' by protections, there are a lot more lost. TheSmoot-Hawleyagricultural protections imposed by the U.S. Congress in the late 1920s certainly contributedto the Great Depression. Mr. Clinton may believe he is fighting the good fight. But we'venever thought much of the kind of war where you pose even when you win.Judge whether the following statement are True or False:35. ( ) The Trade war between the U.S. and the EU has cost no lives but is equally dangerous.36. ( ) It's very easy to decide who is to blame for expanding the trade war.37. ( ) The very beginning of the trade war suggests that it bears political significance.38. ( ) The author agrees that hormone-treated beef is harmful to one's health.39. ( ) President Bill Clinton used to be a believer of free trade, but not now.40. ( ) Level playing fields ca do good to the world economy.41. ( ) Besides its trade war with the EU, the U.S. is also in conflict with Japan, Russia and Brazil.42. ( ) The author thinks that in the case of beef, the American farmers are justified.43. ( ) The author thinks that it is a right decision for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion intrade.44. ( ) The two sides have submitted the case of beef to the WTO for settlement.得49 (4% Read the following passage and answer Questions 45～Part Ⅲ分for each,20%)The Rich Get Richer and Elected. RobertsBy Steven Vthe as as wealthy 1984 were almost four times in The representatives newly electedfirst-term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study based one thefinancial reports.members'court factors: a are the study says, two main swing, remarkable Behind this adecision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns, and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in Congress. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women, to mount successful challenges to entrenched office holders.One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns,but Congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.said Mark Green, the president of The”The lower chamber is going upper class,“Democracy Project, a public policy institute based in New York. “But this evolutionfrom a House of Representatives to a House of Lords denies the diversity of our democracy. It establishes a de facto property qualification for office that increasingly says: low and middle income need not apply.”The Democracy Project produced the study in cooperation with the United States Public Interest Research Group, a similar institute situated in Washington. But their research was not entirely theoretical. In 1980 Mr. Green was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Congress in New York's 15th District, in Manhattan. The winner was Bill Green, one of the wealthiest members of Congress.Of Assets and MillionairesMembers of Congress must report their assets in broad categories, not exact numbers, so the figures in the study are not precise. But the minimum average wealth of the 43 lawmakers first elected last year was $251,292. Six years earlier, the 74 new members reported an average of only $41,358 in assets. With inflation figured in, the increase was almost 400 percent in real terms.Moreover, financial data on the class of 1978 indicated only one millionaire, William F. Clinger Jr., a Pennsylvania Republican. Last year's newcomers included 15 possible millionaires, more than a third of the entire group. Topping the list was Joseph J. Dioguardi, a Westchester Republican, who listed assets of $1 million to $2.46 million.The main reason for the change, Mr. Green maintains, is the Supreme Court decision of 1976 in the case of Buckley V. Valeo. In that case, the Court ruled that limits mandated by Congress on the amount a candidate could give to his or her own campaign were an unconstitutional abridgment of individual rights. At the same time, the Court upheld limits on amounts contributed by outsiders.“Quite naturally”, Mr. Green said, “this puts a premium on personal wealth.The 43 Representatives newly elected in 1984 spent an average of $459,344; of that, $50,329 was their own money in an average case. Eight of the 43 spent more than $100,000 in personal funds but the clear leader was Tommy F. Robinson, an Arkansas Democrat, who contributed $441, 167 to his own campaign. Mr. DioGuardi was next with a personal donation of $210,000.The Senate Puts an even higher premium on wealth. Last year the average candidate for the Senate spent $2 million, and the roster of millionaires in the Senate is steadily growing.The second factor putting a premium on personal wealth, Mr. Green argues, isthe rapid rise of political action committees. They tend to favor incumbents with their campaign contributions, and a result, Mr. Green says, is that it takes a wealthy challenger to make a race of things.One apparent effect is the obstacle this poses for women who run for Congress. While women in rapidly rising numbers are capturing local and state offices, their representation on the national level has stayed static. The class of 1984 included only two women: Helen D. Bentley of Maryland and Jan Meyers of Kansas, both Republicans.“It is largely men who control wealth in America,”Mr. Green said, “and if wealth is a major variable in political success, that automatically means more menwill run and win.”Fred Wertheimer, president of Common Cause, the public affairs lobby that , if you're not personally wealthy, and you're not willing to indebt yourself to the PAC's, you face an uphill struggle just to get your message on the table.The authors of the study argue that some form of public financing for campaigns should be instituted. “Competition for public office should be based more upon merit than money,”asserted Gene Karpinski, executive director of the public interest research group.Mr. Wertheimer argues that “members of Congress know they have a national scandalon their hands”and are willing to consider public financing, or at least a total limit on PACcontributions. But the chances for change in the current system remain decidedly poor.Obviously the current occupants of Capitol Hill have kept their seats under the present rules, which clearly favor incumbents. Accordingly, Mr. Green maintains, Congress is stillprobably “several scandals away”from a serious push to change the campaign system.(From The New York Times, September 24, 1985)45.

Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non —compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.The reform will take effect in two directions. State —financed students will beginpaying part of the costs of their education, and more self—paying students will be accepted.In August 1989, under the direction of the State council, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Sate Price Bureau drew up stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning. Beginning from that year, freshmen at regular universities and colleges and professional schools (including cadres taking special training courses and students working on a second degree) were charged 100 yuan (about us $17) each for their tuition fee, and this low charge is expected to be raised gradually. The figure was higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, but was capped at 300 yuan. Students living on campus paid about 20 yuan per year for accommodation and the charge was slightly higher for better furnishing. Normal school students and those admitted on scholarships need only pay for accommodation. Reduced tuitions and fees are available to students in need of financial assistance, but accommodation expenses will remain the same.In June 1992, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau decided to allow regular institutions of higher education to set their own tuition rates and charges for accommodation, short—term training programs, correspondence courses and night school. These should be determined according to the needs of each school, the abilities of students to pay and general conditions in each area. The tuition for students in the sciences and engineering can range from 300 to 500 yuan per academic year. Liberal arts, history and economics students of the fine arts pay 400 to 600 yuan per year, and students of the fine arts 400 to 750 yuan. Statistics for 1992 show students paid an average of 340 yuan in tuition that year, only 5 percent of the real cost.Measures have been taken to limit the possible detrimental affects of rising tuition. Shanghai, for instance, exempts the children of revolutionary martyrs from paying tuition. And these costs may be reduced or waived for students with limited family financial support as their parents are either both dead or are receiving subsidiesfrom their work units. Some colleges have also set up work—study programs to benefit students with financial difficulties.Guidelines concerning self—paying students were first set out in 1989. The State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau stipulated that these students should pay 80 percent of the cost of their education. Such students who live on campus pay the standard rate for accommodation and must cover their own medical expenses. The charge for each self—paying student averaged 2 000 yuan of the cost in 1992, or 30 percent of the cost. Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units, with payment coming either in part or in full from their units, are somewhat higher. Self—paying students are not assigned jobs by the state after graduation, whereas students sent by their units will return to them after graduating.Charges for correspondence courses and night school are equal to or slightly higher than those for full-time students enrolled according to the state plan.With their improvement of their living standards and the deepening of reform, people in general accept the changes in the tuition system. To facilitate the development of higher education, the increases in tuition rates will be more flexible and diversified. Student payments will be augmented by finding from the state, enterprises and funds raised from the public. Laws and regulations will by enacted to ensure steady progress, and overseas organizations and individuals are encouraged to set up and operate schools in China.--21st Century, Apr.20, 1992 Reading ComprehensionCircle the letter that best suits the answer or completes the statement.5.

Fortunately, no lives are at stake in the latter conflict. Yet if it spreads unchecked, the rest of the world is sure to feel the pain of it.It's hard to decide whether the U.S. or Europe deserves the most contempt for expanding their trade war. The first fight, over bananas, is essentially a struggle between two fruitdistributors with strong political connections. Now Washington and Brussels are escalating their battle over beef, with European farmers stooping to science in their claims that hormone-treated American beef is unsafe.In his first term in office, President Bill Clinton teamed up with the Republicans to push major free-trade liberalizations. Now, however, he seems bent on pursuing 'level even if playing fields,'torpedoing the world economy. The latest salvo was fired this week, with the U.S. announcing it has targeted close to $1 billion of European products for 100% tariffs if the European Union doesn't drop the hormone nonsense.The move follows an earlier announcement that the U.S. administration will fight Europe's banana import regime by hitting a range of European goods with prohibitive tariffs. Add to this renewed American threats to raise the drawbridge to Russian, Japanese and Brazilian steel, as well as administration support for a congressional vote to ban Concorde flights from Europe in relation for EU threats to refuse landing rights to old-American planes retrofitted with noise reducing technology.Mr. Clinton sounded the protectionist battle cry in his January State of the Union address, where he vowed to fight for 'a freer and fairer trading system for 21st century America.' In the case of agriculture, when the respective lobbies on both sides of the Atlantic enter the fray, that translates into a sticky situation. On the whole, American farmers are major exporters. And U.S. farmers have a good case on beef hormones. But it is nonetheless dangerous for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.This is not to excuse the EU. The hormone argument is nonsense. The World Trade Organization has acknowledged as much, ordering the EU to allow imports of American meat by May 13. Brussels has responded by saying that it needs more time because European citizens, who supposedly don't like hormones in their food, would rebel against their governments if American meat suddenly appeared on their store shelves.Were it not for the high stakes involved for both producers and consumers, the argument might be amusing. When governments curtail trade the global economy shrinks and for all the jobs 'saved' by protections, there are a lot more lost. The Smoot-Hawley agricultural protections imposed by the U.S. Congress in the late 1920s certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Mr. Clinton may believe he is fighting the good fight. But we'venever thought much of the kind of war where you pose even when you win.Judge whether the following statement are True or False:35. ( ) The Trade war between the U.S. and the EU has cost no lives but is equally dangerous.36. ( ) It's very easy to decide who is to blame for expanding the trade war.37. ( ) The very beginning of the trade war suggests that it bears political significance.38. ( ) The author agrees that hormone-treated beef is harmful to one's health.39. ( ) President Bill Clinton used to be a believer of free trade, but not now.40. ( ) Level playing fields ca do good to the world economy.41. ( ) Besides its trade war with the EU, the U.S. is also in conflict with Japan, Russia and Brazil.42. ( ) The author thinks that in the case of beef, the American farmers are justified.43. ( ) The author thinks that it is a right decision for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.44. ( ) The two sides have submitted the case of beef to the WTO for settlement.for each,20%)The Rich Get Richer and ElectedBy Steven V. RobertsThe representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as the first-term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study based one the members’ financial reports.Behind this remarkable a swing, the study says, are two main factors: a courtdecision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns,and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in Congress. As a result, it isincreasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women, to mountsuccessful challenges to entrenched office holders.One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns,but Congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.“The lower chamber is going upper class,” said Mark Green, the president of TheDemocracy Project, a public policy institute based in New York. “But this evolution from a House of Representatives to a House of Lords denies the diversity of our democracy. It establishes a de facto property qualification for office that increasingly says: low and middle income need not apply.”The Democracy Project produced the study in cooperation with the United States Public Interest Research Group, a similar institute situated in Washington. But their research was not entirely theoretical. In 1980 Mr. Green was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Congress in New York's 15th District, in Manhattan. The winner was Bill Green, one of the wealthiest members of Congress.Of Assets and MillionairesMembers of Congress must report their assets in broad categories, not exact numbers, so the figures in the study are not precise. But the minimum average wealth of the 43 lawmakers first elected last year was $251,292. Six years earlier, the 74 new members reported an average of only $41,358 in assets. With inflation figured in, the increase was almost 400 percent in real terms.Moreover, financial data on the class of 1978 indicated only one millionaire, William F. Clinger Jr., a Pennsylvania Republican. Last year's newcomers included 15 possible millionaires, more than a third of the entire group. Topping the list was Joseph J. Dioguardi, a Westchester Republican, who listed assets of $1 million to $2.46 million.The main reason for the change, Mr. Green maintains, is the Supreme Court decision of 1976 in the case of Buckley V. Valeo. In that case, the Court ruled that limits mandated by Congress on the amount a candidate could give to his or her own campaign were an unconstitutional abridgment of individual rights. At the same time, the Court upheld limits on amounts contributed by outsiders.“Quite naturally”, Mr. Green said, “this puts a premium on personal wealth.The 43 Representatives newly elected in 1984 spent an average of $459,344; of that, $50,329 was their own money in an average case. Eight of the 43 spent more than $100,000 in personal funds but the clear leader was Tommy F. Robinson, an Arkansas Democrat, who contributed $441, 167 to his own campaign. Mr. DioGuardiwas next with a personal donation of $210,000.The Senate Puts an even higher premium on wealth. Last year the average candidate for the Senate spent $2 million, and the roster of millionaires in the Senateis steadily growing.The second factor putting a premium on personal wealth, Mr. Green argues, isthe rapid rise of political action committees. They tend to favor incumbents with their campaign contributions, and a result, Mr. Green says, is that it takes a wealthy challenger to make a race of things.One apparent effect is the obstacle this poses for women who run for Congress. While women in rapidly rising numbers are capturing local and state offices, their representation on the national level has stayed static. The class of 1984 included onlytwo women: Helen D. Bentley of Maryland and Jan Meyers of Kansas, both Republicans.“It is largely men who control wealth in America,”Mr. Green said, “and if wealth is a major variable in political success, that automatically means more menwill run and win.”Fred Wertheimer, president of Common Cause, the public affairs lobby that , if you're not personally wealthy, and you're not willing to indebt yourselfto the PAC's, you face an uphill struggle just to get your message on the table.The authors of the study argue that some form of public financing for campaigns should be instituted. “Competition for public office should be based more upon meritthan money,”asserted Gene Karpinski, executive director of the public interest research group.Mr. Wertheimer argues that “members of Congress know they have a national scandal on their hands” and are willing to consider public financing, or at least a total limit on PAC contributions. But the chances for change in the current system remain decidedly poor.Obviously the current occupants of Capitol Hill have kept their seats under the present rules, which clearly favor incumbents. Accordingly, Mr. Green maintains, Congress is still probably “several scandals away” from a serious push to change the campaign system.(From The New York Times, September 24, 1985)45. Why has the House of Representatives been changing into a rich man's club or aHouse of Lords46. In what way did the Court decision favor the wealthy candidates47. Are women far behind men in getting Congressional offices Please give an examplefor your answer.48. What role do political action committees play in a campaign for public office49. According to the author of the study, on what basis should the political race forpublic office be placedHow to negotiateThe US is an attractive market. Its business culture, which has brought the world “shareholder value” and “IPOs”, has been leading commercial thinking in recent years and will continue to do so. But whoever wants to succeed in the US needs to remember the rules of the game.US business is described by the lyrics of the song New York, New York: “If you canmake it here, you can make it anywhere!”Yet a euphoric approach to business is by nomeans enough. Although business communication in the US is pleasant and easygoing, it isat the same time ruthlessly focused.Communicating is natural talent of Americans. When negotiating partners meet, theemphasis is on small talk and smiling. There is liberal use of a sense of humour that is moredirect than it is in the UK. If you give a talk in America, you should speak in a relaxed wayand with plenty of jokes to capture your audience's attention.《英语报刊阅读》试卷（A卷参考答案）Part ⅠReconstruct the messages of the following headlines of news stories: (1% foreach, 10%)1、The is the2、and are3、are4、A is his aPart ⅡRead the following passage and answer the Questions A 5-34 (1% foreach,30 %) and B 35-44 (2% for each,20%)A:5～9 BDCCD 10～14 CDBDA 15～19 BACDC20～24 DAABA 25～39 BACBD 30～34 ACDBCB:35～39 TFTFT 40～44 FTTFTPart ⅢRead the following passage and answer Questions 45～49 (4% for each,20%) 45.

Give the definition of the following terms.1) featurea prominent or special article, story, or department in anewspaper or periodical.2) editorialan article in a publication expressing the opinion of its editors or publishers.3) op-edof or being a newspaper page, usually opposite the editorial page, that features signed articles expressing personalviewpoints4) inverted pyramidThe inverted pyramid is a traditional form of writing in which the news is stacked in paragraphs in order of descending importance. The lead summarizes the principal items of a news event. The second paragraph and each succeeding paragraph contain secondary or supporting details in order of decreasing significance. All the paragraphs in the story contain newsworthy information, but each paragraph is less vital than the one before it. Inverted-pyramid form puts the climax of a story at the beginning, in the lead.5) leadA lead is a terse opening paragraph that provides the gist of thestory and invites readers inside.2. What is the difference between hard news and soft news? Hard news events, such as killings, and speeches by leading government officials, are timely and are reported almost automatically by the media. Soft news events, such as a car wash by a fourth-graders to raise money for a classmate with cancer, are not usually considered immediately important or timely to a wide audience. These events still contain elements of news, however, and the media often report them.3. What is the difference between news and features?A news story emphasizes the facts of the event, while the feature displaces the facts to accommodate the human interest of the story.4. What are the major criteria for newsworthiness?ProximityProminenceTimelinessImpactConflict and ControversyUniquenessHuman interest5. What are the principles of news writing?News writing tends to be:1. Impersonal to make it appear objective (to distance thereporter from the story) hence:– Written in the third person– Use of direct speech or indirect speech which is attributed to someone other than the reporter,– Some use of passive verbs but usually only when someone who is being quoted wants to distancethemselves from an issue and to show objectively about n issue.2. About something that has taken place so mostly written in thepast tense.3. Simple – In fact close to the way we talk –relatively shortsentences and words and some use of clichés which the whole audience understand.4. Punchy –it must g rab the reader’s attention so often uses:– short rather than long words– active verbs– relatively short sentences– concrete rather than abstract vocabulary– sometimes emotive and colorful vocabulary– some use (but not overuse) of adjectives5. But also relatively formal hence:– no use of contractions– sentences written in full (no elision) or elliptical sentences6. sometimes imagery is used to help create a clearer mentalpicture for the reader.7. often including the reporter’s by-line and/or a date-line6. Read the following headlines and analyze the features ofthe language they use.a) More Iraqis Said to Flee Since Troop RiseWhen passive voice is used in headlines, “to be” is always omitted. Here “are” in “More Iraqis are said to flee…” is omitted. Nouns and noun phrases are often used in headlines to save space. Noun phrases which actually express actions or state are heavily used, and they are derived from verb phrases in order to make the sentences more compact and save space without lowe ring the amount of information conveyed. Instead of “since the troop rises”, noun phrase “troop rise” is used.b) Insurgent raid kills 22 villagersMost headlines use the present tense-despite the fact that they generally describe past events.

Carol Ryff has defined well-being as the presence of six qualities:independence, the ability to cope with complex demands, a feeling of growth as a person, good relationships, goals that give life meaning, and an acceptance of the self and the past.3. Carol Tavris’ mother was treated as a patient. Her doctor andtherapist and husband were quick to ascribe all ills to her “condition”. They all regarded menopause as a dise ase to be cured. Her doctor asked her a lot of questions, then wrote out a prescription for her and left her have the prescription filled.4. Reverent Foster thinks that there is a lot of freedom in midlife.She suggests that middle-aged women should let their pastgo, incorporate it into who they are now and step into the future.Lesson 7Answers to the questions1. C2. B3. C4. D5. Because for many years, politicians spoke little about theirpersonal faith. Both Eisenhower and Kennedy were unwilling to talk about their own religious faith.6. Because Eisenhower and Kennedy were operating in anAmerica where many Protestants, Catholics and Jews regarded each other as threats to the public good. Stirring up such feelings was dangerous.7. Carter carried evangelical Christians, which helped him sweepthe South and run well in rural areas.8. The author believes that there is a close relationship betweenreligion and politics, but candidates should keep religion within appropriate bounds.Additional Reading1.

It is an expression of friendship between two mayors, two cities and two countries.4. The border wall is needed to help block the swelling tideof illegal immigration as well as widespread drug and gun smuggling.5. Because the Mexican government has failed its own people and Mexicans were forced to go north seeking jobs because of the poverty they faced at home.作业四：家庭婚姻与教育卫生Lesson 12Answers to the questions1. D2. D3. C4. D5. When they found their marriage floundering over Ste phen’sinability to keep his promises, they attended a marriage-education course to learn the communication skills.After a while they felt that working on their marriage was all they were doing. To offset that feeling, they instituted a Thursday date night where discussion of anything serious is strictly forbidden.6. He suggests couples set up weekly meetings to discussdifferences when they can be calm and open to new ideas.7. They decided to renew their commitment to their marriageinstead of choosing divorce. The belief in commitment made them come through the crisis. The husband changed his outlook and got a job as a salesman. Today, their marriage is back on solid ground.8. He thinks that as the betrayal causes deep hurt, the wounds toheal will take a long time. He suggests that the one who hasmade the mistake has to work very hard to regain the trust of the other side.Lesson 15Answers to the questions1. B2. C3. A4. B9. According to her, the reason is that medical inflation hasoutstripped the increases in Medicare reimbursement and caused mounting losses.10. Because the Congress intended to reverse the exodus from theMedicare program.11. He thinks that the Congress continues to pour money into thecoffers of Medicare H.M.O.’s in hopes of providin g better care to America’s seniors. But the H.M.O.’s keep stranding hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries annually by either leaving the program or reducing benefits. So he believes that it is foolish even to consider throwing more money at this failed system.12. What Richard Jones means is this: Medical cost inflation hasexceeded 20 percent a year over the last few years and has caused mounting financial losses. They can either stay in markets by reducing benefits or exit and lose the chance to serve Medicare beneficiaries. There is no other choice for them.Additional Reading1. Because of the recession and poor private housing prospects in the early 1990s.2. The traditional American culture thinks of maleness andadulthood in terms of separation, particularly in moving away from home and mother.3. This could lead to rises in family tension and even violence, but it may also improve relationship by giving children the chance to see their parents as independent adults rather than just as parents.4. Parents should allow their children to behave as adults ina family home.5. No. It is found that the benefit was not a factor in encouraging young single people to leave home for private accommodation. Even those entitled to it often did not claim.作业五：工作生活与行为风尚Lesson 20Answers to the questions1. B2. C3. D4. B9. Throughout the 1990s, Congress and the states took a muchtougher approach to programs such as unemployment insurance, welfare, Medicaid, and food stamps than they did in earlier decades.10. Many part-time and temporary workers are more likely to bearthe brunt of a job drought because many companies lay them off first.11. Many states will be under pressure to tighten up eligibility ruleseven further because they have allowed their unemploymentinsurance reserve funds to run down in recent years, when the good times seemed to make them less urgent. With unemployment rising again, fewer workers are paying into the system just as more former workers need to take money out. 12. The safety net could still suffer a strain because a growing glut of low-skilled workers means wages at the bottom are likely to sink.Lesson 23Answers to the questions1. B2. C3. A4. C13. School dropout rates are lower, especially forAfrican-Americans. High school students are taking more challenging courses. Girls are closing the gender gap by taking more rigorous math and science classes. SAT scores are up from two decades ago. More and more kids are going to college.14. The way society viewed teens shifted dramatically around thetime of the Great Depression. Before then, teens worked and were considered virtually grown up. But facing a workplace without jobs, Depression youth turned to education as a consolation prize. As high school attendance rolls swelled, the status of teens as full-fledged members of society declined. Now that they were students rather than workers, they came to seem younger than before.15. What’s distinctly different for today’s teenagers, experts say, isthe level of cultural negativity they’re exposed to, from theover-the-top sexuality in advertising, television, and film, to the prevalence of gun violence and family dysfunction. Their exposure to risk is so far beyond what other generations have dealt with.16. Family plays a very important role in helping children overcomethe stresses. Kids who feel connected to home, family, and school are better protected from violence, suicide, sexual activity, and substance abuse. Adolescents also fare better if their parents are home as key times of the day. And teens whose parents had high expectations about school also reported fewer emotional problems, such as suicide attempts or depression.Additional Reading1. The 2005 survey found that about three out of four companies regularly track which websites their employees visit. More than half use surveillance software to scour office e-mail (looking for hot-button keywords like sex in the subject line or body of messages). More than a third extend their snooping to monitor how much time workers spend at the computer, record their keystrokes or log their downloads. And one in four companies reports firing someone for improper e-mail use.2. Heidi Arace and Norma Yetsko distributed via office e-mail what they thought was fun to share, which their bosses found offensive enough. As a result, the two longtime workers were fired.3. Reasons why companies monitor their workers’ computer use include:- to see to it that workers waste less time online and work more efficiently;- to avoid legal trouble;- to guarantee the security;- to avoid the leakage of sensitive information.4. Companies are using two types of spying software: network-based programs that monitor all traffic passing through a system, and programs that sit directly on an employee’s desktop.5. They should know the company’s computer-use policy and comply with it. They should assume they’re being monitored, and behave accordingly. They should never bad-mouth the company online. They should not use personal e-mail accounts or post to a blog. They should avoid transmitting any message that could embarrass themselves or others if made public. They should not think instant messaging is less permanent than e-mail. When surfing the Web, they should never click on something flagged NSFW (not safe for work).作业六：文艺体育、企业经济、社会问题Lesson 28Answers to the questions1. C2. A3. B4. A5. The reasons for Armstrong’s success were his strong interest inthe sport, and his drive and ambition caused by his recovery from near-fatal testicular cancer.6. Y es, beca use he thinks that the Tour de France is cycling’s most difficult and prestigious race.7. He did not feel embarrassed about the testicular cancer but was proud of it. His recovery from the cancer gave him driveand ambition. He approached the sport with a whole new focus.8. He says that he has never failed a drug test, that he takes no banned substances, and that no one who has faced cancer would take illicit drugs.Lesson 31Answers to the questions1. C2. C3. C4. B5. The key issue is the contrast between Enron’s forecasts for its Internet business and the reality of the division’s multiplying problems last year.6. He predicted that broadband would add $40 a share to Enron’s stock price over the next few years.7. According to Skilling the company was caught by surprise by the sudden collapse of the Internet content delivery market that Enron had hoped to turn into a profitable arena for trading.8. Because Enron was not welcomed either by the dominant regional telephone companies or cable companies, each of which had their own strategies for high-speed Internet business.Lesson 34Answers to the questions1. A2. B3. C4. D5. The statistics suggest that gang members are more likely to sell drugs, assaut innocent folk, steal cars and commit murder.6. The data show that roughly half of the gang members hadbeen involved in a drive-by shooting, 80% carried a concealed weapon and 50% reported taking guns to school.7. Successful intervention programs must aim at boys at this stage.8. The author believes that the society can help some of the gang members to turn over a new leaf by offering them decent regular jobs. One if four gang members said that they would quit the business for a regular wage of $6-7 an hour.Additional Reading1. He shot and killed two people about 7:20 a.m. in West Ambler Johnston Hall. Two-and-a-half hours later, he killed 30 people in Norris Hall and then committed suicide.2. They could have warned students earlier that two students had been shot and that the killer had not been caught yet.3. It has identified problems like communications breakdowns, gaps in the mental health system and confusion over student privacy laws.4. He said that his people had acted quickly and to the best of their abilities based on what they knew at the time. He also said the school administration did not have all the facts about the first shooting and did not want to spread partial or incorrect information to students.5. No, they didn't know about his history of mental health problems because Fairfax schools did not relay anything about Cho's mental state to the college due to the privacy laws.。

新编英语报刊选读答案【篇一：最新英语报刊选读部分翻译】txt>榜样作用:奥巴马从里根身上学到了什么奥巴马去年5月曾邀请一些研究总统执政的史学家到白宫共进工作晚餐。
这是他入主白宫以来第二次邀请同一批史学家共进晚餐。
奥巴马在晚宴上敦请学者们能给出一些前任总统执政期的经验。
随着宾客交流渐进佳境，一些史学家逐渐感到奥巴马似乎对谈论林肯的工作班底，肯尼迪的智库兴致不高，而对令人感到亲近的保守人士、前总统里根所做出的成就更感兴趣，而正是他在30年前入主白宫后便引发了一场革命。
实际上除了毫无先期制约外，奥巴马和里根还有若干相同的才干。
然而，奥巴马显然对里根让民众能改变对政府态度的办法印象深刻。
有出席晚宴的史学家事后表示，这位第44届总统已把第40届总统看作是一个至关重要的参考基准。
让负责编纂里根日记、并两次出席晚宴的douglas brinkley留下最深刻的印象是，奥巴马已找到了行为榜样。
他称，榜样因素会影响到许多政策，而榜样的作用各不相同。
奥巴马在以里根式的方法履行着责任。
当奥巴马在国会、内阁和民众前发表第二次国情咨文演讲时，里根的榜样和政策已体现在其中。
他在演讲中提议冻结可自由支配开支和联邦政府雇员工资，推动简化税法和削减成百亿美元的国防预算，同时，他还呼吁两党共同努力改革社会保障体制。
以上每一条建议都是由身处第三年任期，在高失业率期内遭遇中期选举失败的总统所提出。
里根曾在1983年的国情咨文演讲中表示，在未来两年内，两党各派人士和各种政治势力要重视政府在今后长期的，和两党共同承担的责任，而不应由短期的党派政策所左右。
人们最初难以想象这位毕业于常春藤联合会院校，以前是夏威夷律师的总统，会与里根有任何共同之处，前者支持更大规模的联邦政府投资、更广的社保覆盖面，以及要求对华尔街和石油业提高监管力度。
但实际情况是，奥巴马越来越借重这位前任总统的思路，把他当成对自己有益的模板是清晰无误的。
自去年11月中期选举以来，奥巴马常把企业高管邀请到白宫座谈，造访美国商会，并在自己的政治理念做出妥协。
在讨教了里根政府的前白宫办公厅主任ken duberstein有关里根处理严重经济问题的经验后，奥巴马签署了会让里根都感到喜极而泣的、令人惊讶的8580亿美元减税法案。
白宫新闻发言人吉布斯(robert gibbs)圣诞假期内在tweeter中称，奥巴马在阅读里根传记，并确认了这种关联。
奥巴马近期在为《今日美国(usa today)》报纸撰写的一篇对里根表示敬意的文章中写道，“里根意识到了民众对责任和变革的强烈愿望”，并把里根看成自己最珍视的两项政治动力。
每位进入椭圆形办公室者都会因前任的成功和失败而倍受折磨。
他们会很自然地自问，自己如何才能与之相提并论；历史会怎样评价自己；自己是否真正具有像华盛顿、杰佛逊和其他前任那样的才干而来到此地。
约翰逊一直对艾森豪威尔的看法感到焦虑；里根也常以富兰克林-罗斯福的风格来塑造自己；布什(george h.w. bush)经常自问，自己是否能成为另一位西奥多-罗斯福(theodore roosevelt)。
当乔治-沃克-布什(george w.bush)在首届总统任期后曾被人问及，是否或多或少地考虑过前任对自己的影响。
他称自进入白宫后就一直思考着所有前任的影响。
奥巴马对里根政治风格的偏爱有着清晰的自利目的。
白宫助手们天真地专注于里根的任期，他们因此祈祷着奥巴马也能反映出类似风格。
两人入主白宫时都处在政治中心发生历史性转移时期，在首届任期内都面对着伴随着高失业率的经济衰退形势，以及两人在选举中都充分调用了演讲术的力量。
历史学家们注意到，奥巴马当前境遇有着与里根时代的黑暗阶段的相似性：反对者的阵营在分化。
民主党在1980年代早期一分为二，一派是劳工支持的左翼，另一派是想要把政党转向中间道路的温和派。
奥巴马今天面对的是一个想要努力把党的传统、对工商业友善和无耐心的暴发户、茶党(tea party)派别进行调和的共和党。
这种分裂开始让共和党走向混乱。
在奥巴马发表了国情咨文演讲后，共和党出现了两个反馈，一个来自该党的领导层，另一个是来自聚集在茶党旗帜下的，来自明尼苏达州的新国会女议员michele bachmann。
她自称无意对抗共和党的正式表态，但却实际上起到了如此效果。
曾为共和党总统候选人麦凯恩的高级顾问mark mckinnon称，她的做法无疑会让共和党出问题，让外人感到莫名其妙。
里根思想最坚定的保卫者自然怀疑奥巴马与里根有相同渊源的说法，其中有人称，这是奥巴马在尝试梳理里根代表的各种思想。
里根的榜样行为不是奥巴马真正可以让不稳定的左翼值得夸耀的东西。
奥巴马将不会出席3月初在加州simi valley举行的纪念里根诞辰100周年的纪念活动，虽然他可能会在春季末在华盛顿举行的同类正式活动中发表演讲。
奥巴马19个月前在签署成立纪念里根诞辰百年委员会法律文件之时，曾邀请里根夫人南希访问白宫。
两人会面表现的热情、大方。
南希和奥巴马夫人共进午餐。
尽管已是90高龄，仍保持着丰富的幽默感南希，从不错过点明奥巴马和丈夫之间差别的机会。
在看到奥巴马用左手签署纪念委员会的法律文件时，南希调侃道，奥巴马是左派(lefty，也有左撇子之意)。
奥巴马承认自己是左撇子。
然而，他想成为像里根一样的值得人们回忆的左派。
(皖东)如果你需要证明阿拉伯之春转中东颠倒，停留一刻的讽刺穆罕默德?穆尔西，埃及的伊斯兰总统，设法把美国和以色列的自在，即使他已经充满了他的许多同胞的恐惧.成为埃及首位民选领导人六月 30，穆尔西在内阁中纳入非伊斯兰教徒，忽视宗教极端分子呼吁世俗自由的限制，限制了军事力量和克制的民粹主义经济政策。
他甚至放弃自己的会员在穆斯林兄弟会加强他声称代表所有埃及人。
在国外，他保持着33岁的以色列与埃及的和平条约，并试图说服叙利亚暴君巴沙尔阿萨德下台。
十一月，他利用兄弟会的长期关系与哈马斯的经纪人巴勒斯坦和以色列之间的停火，在这一过程中赢得国际赞誉。
当天在加沙停火生效，然而，穆尔西引发了大规模的抗议活动在埃及时，他宣布了一项急救法令赋予自己更多的权力。
他推翻了前总统穆巴拉克立即指责穆尔西回收独裁者的权力埃及革命者。
一些随后变成了致命的抗议。
穆尔西把急救法令，但坚持一个匆匆写的宪法草案进行全民公投。
最有争议的部分定义，在模棱两可的条款，在一定程度上，埃及将受伊斯兰教法，或伊斯兰法。
他在家里所有的烦恼，穆尔西仍然是中东地区最有影响力的人物。
他有能力让哈马斯在停火协议线；具有撮合交易，他现在有责任确保巴勒斯坦集团没有向以色列发射火箭弹。
随着埃及，土耳其，继续敦促叙利亚结束屠杀和塑造将任何后阿萨德过渡中发挥重要作用。
更加自信的埃及也可以稳定抗衡伊朗在该地区的野心。
与穆尔西处理他的国家的宪法危机将提供所有的其他阿拉伯国家分，任何想加入他们的行列-伊斯兰民主的前景。
一个自焚的突尼斯水果小贩掀起抗议活动，就会变成革命的两年后，国家在旧的秩序被推翻了，像埃及，努力走出自己的新情况创造秩序。
在大多数地方，伊斯兰政党是民主进程比自由主义革命者更好的准备和轻松赢得选举；但管理-管理经济，企业创造就业，打击腐败，消除旧政权的残余被证明更加困难。
最难的任务吗？的性质和新的民主国家的法律界定。
像埃及，其他阿拉伯国家希望新宪法，和突尼斯一样，埃及的自由主义者要求的过程中，一个特大的声音。
在利比亚和也门，其他两个阿拉伯国家的新政府，这是谁鼓动大说伊斯兰教徒。
在所有这些国家，双方有很大的分歧，有时在伊斯兰法律必须发挥治理作用。
到目前为止，埃及是一个警世故事，如何不去写一个新的宪法研究。
穆尔西的自由派反对者并不是完全无辜的：他们在反对任何国家的穆斯林身份表达了强硬，经常歇斯底里。
但总统的伊斯兰兄弟，谁主导了制宪会议，不遵循自由主义者的忧虑和国家的少数民族，因为他们害怕合法的迫害。
自始至终，穆尔西已经表现出不愿遏制他的前同事和消除对方的疑虑。
