It took several years for the virus to break out of Congo′s dense and sparsely populated jungles but ,once it did ,it marched with rebel armies through the continentˊs numerous warzones, rode with truckers from one rest-stop brothel to the next ,and eventually flew, perhaps with an air steward, to America, where it was discovered in the early 1980s.

译：几年之后此病毒从刚果荒蛮浓密的丛林中爆发出来。一旦流传开来，它就随着反叛部队穿越大陆的各个战区；随着货车司机驶过各个妓院；最终，可能随着空中乘务员飞往美国，并在那里于20世纪80年代初被发现。

This is because so many people in poor countries do not contribute much to the formal economy. To put it even more crudely, where there is a huge oversupply of unskilled labour, the dead can easily be replaced.

Unit4

In general , the WTO has adopted rules which are in the interest of trans-national business and rejected rules opposed by business. WTO policies have been protested by representatives of “civil society”, such as unions, consumer activists, environmentalists, indigenous people, and womenˊs groups . In Mexico, where a currency crisis threw the nation into depression shortly after implementation of NAFTA , small business owners were in the streets , too, opposing “free trade ”.Poor countries of the global south，which disagree with northern unions over labor protections, agree the WTO is not working in the interests of most people.

译：总体而言，世界贸易组织采纳了有利于跨国商务活动的规则，拒绝了商务活动反对的规则。世界贸易组织的政策遭到了来自“民间社团”代表，如工会、消费者积极分子、环境保

护主义者、土著居民、妇女团体等的反对。墨西哥在执行北美自由贸易协定不久，货币危机使国家陷入经济萧条，小业主们也走向街头反对“自由贸易”。不同意北部联盟有关劳动保护条款的南半球的贫穷国家也认为世界贸易组织并不为大多数人谋福利。

In Turin，the summit leaders were still looking for a solution. Meanwhile, they tried to head off the consumer stampede with confident smiles and bold speeches. No matter how many British cows are destroyed, European beef sales are not likely to return their pre-scare levels for a long time—if European beef sales are ever likely to return to the pre-scare levels. Like many Americans, European have been cutting down on their intake of beef in recent years, and mad-cow panic will probably intensify that trend. Even so , the leaders gamely battled on.

“At lunch,they served us veal,”Chirac told reporters in Turin. “Every one of the presidents and prime ministers ate it with gusto.”

译：在都灵，欧盟领导人仍然在寻求解决疯牛病的办法；同时他们还带着自信的笑容、振振有词地劝阻那些消费者不要放弃牛肉。无论要销毁多少英国牛，欧洲的牛肉销量也不可能恢复到产生消费恐慌之前的水平；即使欧洲牛肉销售量有可能达到恐慌之前的水平也需要很长时间。像许多美国人一样，近年来欧洲人已经大大减少了对牛肉的消费，而且疯牛病还会加剧这一趋势。即使这样，欧盟领导人仍然以乐观的情绪继续这场保卫战。在都灵，希拉克告诉记者：“我们每位总统和总理都在津津有味地吃着牛肉呢!”。

Unit8

Gilbert probably didn，t think much of that small transaction.Before his fraud spree was done,he would stick the real Robert Hartle with debts of more than ＄110,000, including

bills for three pickup trucks,two motorcycles and a double－wide mobile home.

Luckier than most, Hartle had a lead on the culprit. He knew a man going by the name of Carl Lee Lunden who had befriended his mother in Phoenix. In fact, “lunden”—later found to be Gilbert—had persuaded the elderly woman, some 30 years his senior, to

marry him, giving him access to Hartle family information.

译：辛运的是哈特尔对此罪犯掌握了一定的线索。他知道有一个名为卡尔.李.朗敦的人，现在凤凰城，是他母亲的男友。事实上，这为后来被发现就是吉尔伯特的“朗敦”极
