In some colleges, students are permitted to pick out their course’s professors freely. The reasons are listed as follows:In the first place, students can choose the teacher according to their interests, which will be helpful for their future careers. Besides, selecting courses can reduce the rate of students’ absence indirectly for students usually choose their favorite teachers.As far as I am concerned, every coin has two sides. On the one hand, students may learn the course better, because they may choose the professor they liked. On the other hand, if the professor who is very popular and a great number of students would like to attend his/her course, the classroom must be overcrowded. It will have a bad impact on the class.Unit FivePart II. 1. Y 2. NG 3. N 4. N 5. N, 6. Y, 7. Y 8. shocked 9. therapy 10. 24II. DCABDIII. 1. O; 2. I; 3. M ; 4. K ; 5. C ; 6. F; 7. E ; 8. G; 9. N ; 10.

This is correct, because the mother is showing that she is annoyed by the child giving a request as an instruction.2. A.Yes. Here the guest might have been indirectly asking a drink, so the host offers some orange juice, but also does it rather indirectly, in case the guest was really just discussing the weather.3. B.No. Miss Wilson has given an order to a stranger, and this is not polite, even with "please" at the end. The reply should be more like "Could I have it back when you are finished, please?"4. A.Yes This is more common with children than adults. However, it is sometimes used as a joke when a person wants to beg for something unimportant (like a sweet) from a friend.5. A.Yes. Mrs Greene is not really giving an instruction, she is saying that she hopes Mr Cooper willl enjoy himself. In the same way, many people in the United States use "Have a nice day."6. A.Yes. Harry is being very polite, but he is saying that he will not do what the boss wants, because it is not possible to do it. He gives his refusal as a statement, so that it causes minimum offence. Harry should now explain why it is not possible .7. A.Yes. The mother has used the second part of a conditional sentence. The child understands that the first part (which was not spoken) is "Yes, you can play with Jenny ...."8. B.No. Joe's reply is too comprehensive, and it uses too many of Mikes words. All that is required is an a positive acknowledgement of the instruction/request; so use, "sure", or "ok", (for yes) or "hold on", "now now" (for no).9. A.Yes. The policeman does not really want to know if Jack can show him some identification,he wants to see the identification. So Jack gives him the identification, using "here you are" - an expression used when giving something.10. B.No. "Do you mind .." means "will you be upset..". Mr Bloggs' answer does not show whether he is answering Sally's question ("Will you be angry if I smoke?" - "Yes, I will") or the intention behind Sally's question. (That is: "Can I smoke?" - "Yes, of course")11. A.Yes. Karen is asking the question because she wants to read the William's paper. William uses a more informal register to show he is friendly ("Sure" is sometimes an informal way to say "yes"), and he adds "Go ahead" ("Go on and read it.")12. B.No Well, probably not. Joey's invitation is very casual (Notice the missing auxiliary "do"). Mary's answer is formal, and says "thank you" in three different ways. Joey will probably understand that Mary is being sarcastic.13. A.Yes. The instruction is really an informal invitation. "Ta" is a very informal way of saying "thank you" when you are given or offered something unimportant.14. B.No. It is not polite to refuse a formal request with a direct negative ("No".), even if you give the reason afterward. Instead, Mr Blake should say something like "Well, actually, it's very cold outside."15. A.Yes. Mr Williams is asking Tony to turn down his radio. Tony apologises for disturbing Mr Wilson, and says he (and his radio) will go away.16. B.No. The use of "Again?" shows he thinks he has heard enough. "Oh, all right then" is a way of indicating that the speaker will do as asked, but not enthusiastically.Part Three Reading PracticePassage 1DCBDAPassage 2CABCAPassage 3 DCACBPart Four Home ReadingI. 1.

For example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.。

Learning can expand one’s knowledge over a period of time.2. The chief danger of learning is laziness, sloth, routine, stupidity.

蒋静仪阅读教程2 课后习题答案(含quotations)Unit four① Sleep is better than medicine.(Proverb)Good health relies more on a good night’s sleep than on medicine.② A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you’re fast sleep.(Disney World advertisement) A dream reflects what you really feel in your subconscious world.③. A light supper, a good night’s sleep, and a fine morning have often madea hero of the same man who, by indigestion, a restless night, and a rainy morning, would have proved a coward.(Lord Chesterfield 1694-1773, British Statesman, Author) When one refrains from having a big supper, enjoys a good night’s sleep, and wakes up to a beautiful morning, h e/she will feel like a hero.

穿着睡衣讲课:网络课程经验谈1 对我来说,在大学讲课有一点让我很喜欢,就是精心打扮然后呈上一场精彩的表演。
我会换一身得体的套装、化好妆、配上相应的饰品,甚至把上课用的提示卡都会重新修订一番。
2 不过,一个星期五的晚上,我就坐在这里给二十五个学生讲课,还穿着淡紫色睡衣。
没错,我在网上授课。
3 去年,校方要求我上一个本科班的环境学网络课—这门课我在暑假学校已经教了好几年了。
我质疑这种教学方式的有效性。
我怎么会知道提交作业的学生就是注册的哪位呢?但话又说回来,我又真的知道在传统班上坐着的学生就一定是注册了的吗?4 网络教学也要求我重新思考讲授课程内容的方式。
十七年了,我一直是站在学生面前讲授化学和环境科学的。
学对我的评价一直都极其肯定,通常会提到我的热情,幽默感及用通俗易懂的语言讲授课程的能力。
我面临的挑战是要通过计算机也能做到的一切。
5 我还在考虑哲学与教学方面的问题呢,女儿则选了两门网络课程。
结果,这反倒成了我最好的学习经历。
6 她一向是个非常腼腆的学生,从来不在课堂上发言。
但在这些网络课程中,她全心投入讨论,发表意见,总的说来比以往任何时候都更能放开参与。
7我也选了一门为我们学校的网络教师开设的短训课程,得知很多同事也很腼腆,通过计算机教学他们感受更得心应手。
8 因为要在暑假学校讲授环境科学课,趁这机会为秋季的网络课程备课看来再合适不过了。
我的计划是这样的:在上传统课的那天,早上备课,修整草坪,然后晚上去教课。
9我一直没去成草坪。
每一堂课都需要花八个小时左右的时间打字解释,好让在线学生能看明白,我也让教室里的学生能看到这些课件,他们很高兴提些意见。
10 网络班开课了,学生都能很好地遵守指令。
他们写传记,综述与环境问题相关的新闻报道。
他们回到有关自己对于环境方面所作贡献的问题,有时还坦白交代一些令人吃惊的个人习惯。
他们也点评其他学生的帖子。
11 讨论版很热闹,任何时段都有人发帖。
要是有学生想私下讨论下,就发电子邮件给我,我们一起解决问题。

新编MPA英语阅读教程Unit 1Defining Public AdministrationText APublic Administration1. The occupational sector, enterprises, and activities having to do with the formulation and implementation of policy of governmental and other public programs and the management of organizations and activities involved.2. The academic field concerned with the study of, improvement of, and training for the activities mentioned in 1.Public administration refers to two distinguishable but closely related activities: (1) a professional practice (vocation, occupation, field of activity), and (2) an academic field as well as to train individuals for that practice. The simple meaning of the term is quite direct: it refers on the one hand to the administration or management of matters which have principally to do with thesociety, polity, and its subparts which are not essentially private, familial, commercial, or individualistic, and on the other hand to the disciplined study of such matters. In this simplest meaning, public administration has to do with managing the realm of governmental and other public activities. This simple definition conveys the essence of public administration and probably covers the vast majority of activities and concerns of contemporary public administration.Such a simple view, though, needs modification to account for at least two important considerations: First, it must be recognized that professional management of the public’s affairs involves not only management in the narrowest sense (keeping the books, handling personnel decisions, implementing decisions which have been made elsewhere in the politico-socio-economic systems, etc.), but also significantly involves the planning, formulating, modifying, and urging of goals and purposes of much of public affairs. Second, it must be recognized that some matters of public administration are handled in ways which are not purely private but also are not precisely government.The first consideration—that public administration is involved in the substance of policy as well as the implementation of policy decisions—is frequently alluded to with terms such as the demise ofthe politics-administration dichotomy, the impossibility of value-free public administration, and the need for proactivity by public administrators. These terms reflect the widespread, though not universal, belief or allegation that it is no longer, if ever it was, defensible to interpret public administration as solely involved in technically objective solutions or in the neutral implementation of decisions made by nonadministrative parts of the political system (e.g., partisan leadership; electoral processes; party processes; partisan bargaining; and parliamentary, legislative, and judicial institutions). This belief and related understandings have led to significant public administration attention to policy and policy process. Some have felt a need for a rubric which emphasizes such a policy focus and which might also encompass or indicate receptivity to areas of studies which are closely related (e.g., planning, urban affairs, economic analysis, public policy analysis), and terms such as public affairs are sometimes used for this purpose. In general, though, public administration still functions as the umbrella term throughout the world, though it must be realized that the term implies a broader range of concerns and activities than the narrow meaning of management or administration may convey.The second consideration—that not all public administrationoccurs in and through governmental organizations—also has led to a broadening of the meaning of public administration. At various times in the past of public administration it has seemed that its essence and activities could be identified by referring to nonmarket approaches to social purposes, but this perspective has been mitigated by the recognition that public programs and benefits could be developed through and provided with some market characteristics. Thus there have been developments such as governmental or quasi-governmental activities which compete with private sector activities or provide benefits through use of a price mechanism; sometimes water, utilities, sewers, health care, education, and other benefits are provided in this way. There are also devices such as public corporations, quasi-public corporations, public-private cooperative enterprises, and government contractual arrangements with nongovernmental organizations to provide certain benefits or perform certain functions. Indeed, even for large parts of the world where the private-public distinction has not been as prevalent or obvious as other places (for example, where the economy is essentially directed or nonmarket), the movement toward market or marketlike mechanisms for the provision of public goods is increasingly a matter of rhetoric, planning, or action.When these considerations are taken into account, publicadministration is probably best defined as the practice and study of the professional formulation and influence of public policy and the implementation of such policy on a regular and organized basis on behalf of the public interest of a society its civic subparts, and its citizenry.Development of the FieldIt is usual to date the contemporary social scientific awareness of bureaucracy (a term which can include both pri vate, or ―business‖ administration and public administration) with the work of the German social scientist Max Weber (1864-1920). Such dating, though, is more a matter of convenience or recognition of important scholarly influence than of historical accuracy.In the United States, it is usual to credit the reformism of the Populist and Progressive era of politics (about 1880-1920) and especially Woodrow Wilson’s academic article ―The Study of Administration‖ (in the Political Science Quarterly in 1887) for the systematic and self-conscious development of the field of public administration. It is usual also to identify the early years of U.S. public administration with scientific management, a school of thought largely attributed to Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) which emphasized a task analysis and efficiency approach to management; and with the subsequent human relations movement,which emphasized the human and social aspects of work environments and motivations somewhat in contradistinction to the scientific management movement. Both of these latter movements had their origins in industrial and business management, but were very influential on public administration in the United States and around the world. The period of U.S. history between the Great Depression and the World War II (about 1929-1945) is commonly held to represent U.S. public administration in a self-confident —though some also say naive—phase; this period is frequently referred to in the United States and elsewhere as the period of classical public administration or orthodox public administration. The dynamics of the Cold War competition between the United States and Western allies and the USSR and its allies, and the manifestation of this competition in various forms of technical assistance, aid in economic development, and administrative assistance had an impact upon public administration. In the 1960s and 1970s, much of the world of science and technology came under attack. In the United States, these decades and their challenges have come to be interpreted against the backdrop of the civil rights movement (and related movements such as feminism), Vietnam War activism, the ―new left,‖anti-institutionalism, and particular manifestations of youth rebellion. Other parts of the worldalso experienced similar movements, frequently exacerbated by issues of neocolonialism, nationalism, anti-institutionalism, environmentalism, anti-technologism, and general critiques of scientific and technological perspectives and, indeed, the entirety of ―modernity.‖ All of these matters had effects upon politics, the social sciences, and public administration. In United States and elsewhere, many of these developments were accompanied by significant critiques of public administration. One manifestation of this was a dialogue about the need for fundamental rethinking in public administration (and for some, the need for a ―new public administration‖). In the last couple of decades, this had been augmented by tremendous technological developments (e.g., in computer applications and in communications developments) on the one hand, and ever more sophisticated philosophical and methodological interpretations asserting that we are transcending ―modernity‖ in ways which call much of our question on the other hand. At the present time, public administration worldwide is in creative tension and undergoing rapid change and attempts at reconceptualization. What the effects of all this will be over time, or what the next developmental stage will be, is unclear but generally appears to have an energizing effect upon the field.Configuration of the FieldPublic administration is sometimes treated as though it is one of the social sciences, a discipline in some sense. As the number of programs offering doctoral degrees in the field has increased, this interpretation has gained strength.In the United States, it is relatively unusual for public administration to be a free-standing degree program at the baccalaureate level (though there are some well-established and prestigious programs of this sort—especially in schools of public affairs, schools of management, or schools of public administration —and this approach may be on the increase). The more traditional and still usual pattern is for baccalaureate education in public administration to be a major or minor specialization within a political science degree program. Master-level degrees are increasingly emphasized as desirable or expected credentials for full commitment to professional careers in many fields (e.g., not only in business administration and public administration, but also in fields such as social work, nursing, and education where the appropriate degree for professional entry was once the baccalaureate), and the master’s degree—usually, but not always, the master of public administration (MPA)—is becoming the recognized degree for those who aspire to careers in public administration. It should be remembered, though, that public organizations and activities covervirtually the whole spectrum of contemporary specialities and that the educational background and specialties of public administrators therefore reflect this diversity.As modern and contemporary public administration evolved, it tended to develop a more or less regular set of subfields, approaches, and topical interests. These generally have to do either with the functional and technical specializations of public administration, with specific methods and approaches, or with the phenomena of specific locales and issue areas of public administration.Thus, public administration has some subfields which deal with concerns which, in one form or another have been part of the field since is earliest days. Budget and finance (how to provide, handle, and account for material resources), personnel (the policies and management of human resources), planning, operations management, organizational design and management, communications and communication systems, record-keeping, accounting of various kinds, reporting of various kinds and for a variety of purposes and clientele, internal and external public relations, and a host of similar concerns constitute some of the technical and functional foci of the field. In additional, there are various concerns dealing with the environment and context ofadministration: the constitutional and legal context; the context of the political, economic, and societal structure, requirements, and processes; the values, history, traditions, and habits of the society and its components; the values, history, requirements, and processes of the organizations, programs, and components of specific relevance at any given time; and many other such factors (as well as their interrelationships).There are also specializations and foci having to do with the specific form and level at which administration occurs: international administration; national administration; federal/confederal administration; state/province administration; district/department /sector administration; city, county, and local administration; inter-governmental and inter-organizational administration; ‖not for profit‖ administration; and so forth. Issue areas present other topics and specializations: police, fire, schools, military, medical, environmental, technology and technology transfer, science and scientific applications, government-business-industry cooperation, and a host of other specific concerns spawn specializations of knowledge, application, training, an experience.When one realizes that all these (and many more) can be viewed as components of a huge matrix where any one (or more) can be related to any other one (one more), the complexity andvariety of the field of public administration is suggested.Unit 2The Practice of PublicAdministrationText AThe Rise of the American Administrative StateToday, there are perhaps 15 million civilian public employees in the United States. The growth of this number in the twentieth century and the development of large administrative components in governments at all levels are generally referred to as the ―rise of the administrative state‖. The term administrative state is intended to convey several realities of contemporary government: that a great deal of the society’s resources are spent on the salaries and functions of public administrators; that public administrators are crucial to the operation of contemporary government; that, as a whole, they are politically powerful; and that the nation has decided upon a course of attempting to solve its problems and achieve its aims through the use of administrative action. The growth of administrative power is a worldwide phenomenon that affects the nature of governments in virtually all nations.The Political Roots of the American administrative State The constitutional government of the United States came intoexistence in 1789 with some clearly stated formal goals. These are found in the Preamble to the Constitution, which reads: WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this CONSTITUTION for the United States of America.In this passage it can be found some of the classic purposes of almost all contemporary nations: the desire to provide for the defense of the political community, for law and order, and for the general welfare. The latter may seem too vague to convey anything of a specific nature, but generally it includes a commitment to economic development and to the provision of services by the government for the purpose of advancing the common good. The idea that the state should provide such services did not develop in Western Europe until the 1660s, but now it is perhaps the most prominent feature of the administrative state.The decisions to pursue these purposes in the first place are political. So is the choice of a means for achieving them. Several alternatives to government sponsorship of such services do exist. Government could rely heavily upon private resources and incentives to serve their purpose. For example, private armies ofmercenaries were once a common means of waging war or promoting national defense. Education was once a private or church-related endeavor. Taking care of individuals’health and welfare needs was once left up to families and churches. Private action has frequently been augmented by the provision of governmental financial assistance to those individuals whose actions promote general national goals. For instance, at one time mentally retarded persons were ―sold‖to private individuals who would care for them at the least cost to the government, which was willing to pay for this service as part of its commitment to the common interest. Farm subsidies pay private farmers to use the nation’s agricultural resources in the national interest. Today, some economists, such as Milton Friedman, argue that education should be supplied by private organizations through a scheme in which the parents of school children would receive tuition vouchers from the government. These could be used at any school the parents felt best suited their children’s educational needs. Such an approach, it is argued, would create a greater incentive and would also maximize the freedom of parents to choose among competing educational services. Similarly, various incentives can be built into the government’s system of taxation to promote individual behavior deemed in the common interest.It is often feasible for the government to promote its objectives through reliance on private action and the manipulation of subsides and incentives. But this is not always government’s preferred choice of means. Sometimes—indeed, with increasing frequency in the twentieth century—governments seek to achieve their goals through direct public action. For instance, in the housing example, governments seek to assure that everyone is adequately housed by building and running public housing projects. Instead of paying private individuals to take care of the mentally retarded, governments build and operate mental health facilities for this purpose. Similarly, education, defense, and a host of other operations are undertaken by government.The essence of the administrative state and the need for large- scale public administration lie in the policy of governments to undertake organizational action themselves to achieve their ultimate political goals. It is commonly believed that American founding fathers never anticipated that governments in the United States would become engaged in a great deal of administrative action. However, it is also clear that the Constitution itself indicates the preference for public action in some areas. For instance, it authorizes the federal government to establish post offices and post roads and to raise and direct and army and navy. Even a briefreview of the development of large-scale public administration in the United States during the past two centuries indicates the extent to which such direct administrative action has become increasingly commonplace.In a thoughtful and succinct analysis, James Q. Wilson has identified several primary roots of the development of the contemporary American administrative state. One was to provide a reliable postal service. The U.S. Post Office was not viewed as an end itself, but rather as a means of promoting economic development and national cohesion.A second source of administrative growth has been the desire to promote economic development and social well-being through governmental action recognizing the needs of various sectors of the economy. For example, the Department of Agriculture was created in 1862 and the Departments of Commerce and Labor came into existence in 1913. More recently, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (now Health and Human Services) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, and Education have been created to provide governmental goals in these economic and social areas of American life. Departments such as Agriculture, Labor, and Commerce are often called clientele departments because they deal largely with arelatively well-defined category of people who are generally assumed to have common economic interest.Another source of administrative growth has been defense. The Department of War and Navy were created in the eighteenth century, but the military establishment did not emerge as the federal government’s largest administrative operation until after World War II. Since that time, the Department of Defense has employed as many as third of all civilian federal workers. Interestingly, this means that about half of all federal employees are employed in two agencies—Defense and Post Office.In sum, the political roots of development of contemporary public administration in the United States lie primarily in two political choices made by the government and society. One was that government would exist to promote such objectives as the common defense, economic development, and the general welfare. This was a choice first made back in the late 1780s and reinforced subsequently on many occasions. Second has been the more recent choice of placing heavy reliance upon direct provision of services and functions by the government as opposed to reliance solely upon the manipulation of subsidies for private action. In addition to these factors, the Constitution expresses a desire to promote domestic tranquility, which brings us to what can be considered the legalroots of the contemporary administrative state.Unit 3Decision Making in PublicAdministrationText AIn Praise of TheoryNothing is quite so practical as a good theory. Theory in the social sciences, especially economic theory, is frequently attacked by practitioners because its function is so often misunderstood. Others, especially those outside of the discipline of economics, wrongly believe that there is an oversupply of competing theories and paradigms in economics. Economists suffer the butt of jokes such as, ―if you lay all of the economists in the world end to end you will never reach a conclusion.‖the amount of disagreement amongst research economists, as compared to political economy commentators and scribblers, is much less than it is often supposed. Indeed, that economists do not agree on policy prescriptions is a reflection of the complexity and uncertainty of the world in which we live and for which policy has to be designed. Policy rules are contingent upon a reality which unfolds with uncertainty. Other disciplines, even the hard sciences, have their controversies: what is the origin of the universe; what is the cause of cancer? Recently,forensic evidence provided to a court of law has been found wanting.Do public policies promote the general welfare of citizens? Will policy x have an impact upon the welfare of a specific group of citizens? To answer these questions, and more, practitioners frequently adopt a set of policy indicators (for example, educational attainment; morality; economic indicators). But how robust are these indicators; what are the causal relations between these statistics and individual well-being (welfare)? What implicit social values do these indicators reflect? What is the set of causal links between public policies and individuals’welfare? These questions are often regarded as troublesome by politicians and some career policy advisers whose interests lie in providing a quick fix to social problems. It is the role of theory to challenge and to question the adequacy of existing practice and to improve the quality of the arguments in the policy debate. Far form being impractical, theory is extremely practical and an appreciation of how to use theory in formulating policy argument will lead to improved practice.Economic theory’s contribution to policy analysis and design is to promote an understanding of events and phenomena within the domain of public policy. Understanding and explanation of events is not, however, synonymous with prediction. Even when phenomena(consider, for example, earthquakes) are understood it is not always possible to predict when the phenomenon will next occur. Recently, chaos theory has taught that in complex systems small perturbations can build up to large events. Whilst an understanding of the processes and dynamics of a system is of importance for purpose of control and manipulation, it does not follow that the precise timing of events can be predicted. Instead, statements of future events must be made in probabilistic terms, i.e. if conditions X and Y prevail then there is a probability that Z will occur. An assessment of the probabilities informs managers and decision- makers. Thus, forecasts of economic and social events must not be regarded as having probabilities of unity assigned to them (i.e. complete certainty), instead the forecaster needs to inform the decision-makers of the probability (confidence) of the forecast being correct. The further a socioeconomic events lies into the future, the lower is the probability that its forecast be accurate.A useful theory must encompass the event which is to be explained: the event(s) should not contradict the theory. Furthermore, useful theories are those which are communicable to others. If an event can be incorporated into a theory then it means that the event (phenomenon) is understood. If it cannot be so incorporated then the event is not understood and the theory is notas general as might have been supposed. Policy interventions require an understanding of the events which lie in the policy domain: they require an understanding of the causal processes which gave rise to the event. Such understanding can only be the result of systematic research within a wider conceptual framework. This reduces the chances of futile and misdirected interventions which often result in catastrophic outcomes. There is nothing quite so practical as a good theory. Sound theory is a line of first defence against madmen and cranks. Policy managers need policy analysts and policy analysts need sound theory.Theories start from axioms, i.e. generally agreed upon basic statements of the real world. A theorist seeks to find out of those propositions which are presented as policy statements are deducible from a set of these elementary axioms. Put another way—what does the world actually have to look like for the propositions to be true? It is at this point that the assumptions upon which a theory is predicted to come in. Different assumptions in conjunction with the basic axioms produce different propositions.The basic axioms used by the economists are that decision-makers are rational and that individuals are the best judge of their own welfare. This means nothing other than that either preference orderings are well defined, or that individuals havereasons for the choices that they make. Rationality also means that the choices which are made by individuals are logically consistent. Typical assumptions relate to whether or not the decision-makers is fully informed when making choices; whether decisions are made in a total system or a partial system at a single moment in time or inter-temporally; whether or not the future is know with certainty; and the extent to which market structures are perfectly competitive or monopolistic. To assume, as the public theorists do, that politicians and bureaucrats have preferences is an axiom. Making statements about the objective function of politicians and bureaucrats, i.e. that they are vote maximizers or budget maximizers, is to make assumptions. Different assumptions will generate different propositions (hypotheses) which might, if they are in a suitable form and if data are available, be tested (with a view to refutation) empirically. A theory provides a coherent framework within which the implications of different assumptions can be analyzed.The aim of theory is not to describe reality. It is to understand that reality. Be necessity, abstraction from reality is required for understanding. Thus, the charge, often made by practitioners, that a theory is unreal is a weak criticism. Simon, Lindblom and Wildavsky have frequently taken economists to task for the strong。

Interpretation of the quotations①Beauty more than bitterness makes the heart break.(Sara TeasdaleBeauty is good and of value. But the pursuit of beauty at the cost of other things may cause even bigger trouble than what pain and hardship will bring about.②There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.(Francis Bacon) Any beautiful thing is not perfectly proportional. Some deviation from standard is not only allowed but also necessary for beauty to show its characteristics.③. If you get simple is beauty and nought else, you get about the best ting God invents.(Robert Browning)Simple beauty is the best thing that you can be awarded of all the things in the world.Robert Browning (7 May 1812 – 12 December 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, especially dramatic monologues, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets.Reference answers to the exercisesReading oneCheck your comprehension1-7 TTFTTFFCheck your vocabulary1.Some people prefer black hair, but other people like brown hair more.2.You have been so greatly influenced by the environment you are in that you tend to look atbeauty that way.3.Women’s magazines, advertisements and the media all focus their topics on appearance andlooks, and they keep warning you about the harm and risk of bad breath, sweat, being too fat or too thin.4.The image you form about yourself may be very inaccurate.5.Good looks shouldn’t exactly follow the model of any particular individual.Reading twoCheck your comprehension A1.They were 202 primary school students, most of them aged eight and nine.2.Children as young as seven were unhappy with their bodies and nearly one-in-three girls andboys wanted to thinner.3.It was “worrying that a number of the children have these sorts of beliefs and attitudes,” andthat there are more children with early-onset anorexia, which “is usually a lot more difficult to treat and usually a lot more severe,” though only a minority would go on to develop an eating disorder.4.Ms. Thomas said children needed to learn that any body shape was acceptable and they shouldbe proud of their body.5.He felt sad and guilty as a professional on the eating disorder research program.Check your comprehension B1-5 TFTFTCheck your vocabularyindictment; predisposes; purge; specialist; dietary; nominated; onsetReading threeCheck your comprehension A1-5 CCDACCheck your comprehension B1-5 FFFTTCheck your vocabularyperused; previous; desperately; convince; belittle; complimented; elated; addictedReading FourCheck your comprehension A1-6 FTFFTFCheck your vocabulary Apeck away; stand out; mould; advance; release...from; normality; hailedPost-readingB. 1-5 CACCDUnit four①Sleep is better than medicine.(Proverb)Good health relies more on a good night’s sleep than on medicine.②A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you’re fast sleep.(Disney World advertisement)A dream reflects what you really feel in your subconscious world.③. A light supper, a good night’s sleep, and a fine morning have often made a hero of the same man who, by indigestion, a restless night, and a rainy morning, would have proved a coward.(Lord Chesterfield 1694-1773, British Statesman, Author)When one refrains from having a big supper, enjoys a good night’s sleep, and wakes up to a beautiful morning, he/she will feel like a hero.

Covey)The measurement of the elements relating to our body involves paying close attention to our body and keeping it in a healthy state by eating the right kind of food, getting enough rest and relaxation, and exercising regularly.②Early in life, people give up their health to gain wealth…In later life, people give up some of their wealth to regain health! (Ken Blanchard)When people are still young, they earn money at the expense of their health…When they get old, they spend money in order to restore their health.③. Remind yourself of the exorbitant price you can pay for worry in terms of your health. Those who do not know how to fight worry die young.

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder ofthe Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the United States.According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on the earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more." Christmas" meaning "celebration of Christ " honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in his dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C.(Before Christ)and A.D.(a Latin phrase, Anno Domini,“in the year of our Lord”) For the first 300 years, Jesus' birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354 A.D. church leaders choseDecember 25 as his birthday.3. Open.Unit 6 LiteratureExercise 11. B2. D3. C4. D5. CExercise 21. G2. D3. F4. H5. CExercise 31. T2. T3. T4. T5. FIV.

Cao tells many genuine Chinese stories, but the themes of his Chinese stories areuniversal,and at the same time all of them belong to humankind.3. Whether a book can make its way into the world, that is to say whether it is suitable fortranslation into other languages, is also a basic norm of its literary value.Unit 7 CultureExercise 11. C2.

Generally speaking, because smoking is harmful for health. According to rel ated survey,like 2011 China Tobacco Control Report, about 740 million peopl e, including 180 million chil dren and teenagers are affected by second hand smoke. More than 1 million peopl e die every year from smoking-rel ated diseases, and more than 100,000 of those cases can be traced back to second-hand smoke.2. I am afraid there’s no simil ar regulations passed or carried out in my city. Here are somereasons. Firstly, the corresponding d epart ments d o not pay enough attention tosecond-hand smoking issue as in Harbin. Secondly, there are too many smokers here in the city and most of them refuse to d o any change. Thirdly, l ocal citizens here are too shy to express their opinions against second-hand passive smoking.3. As we can see from the passage, Harbin is the first city that tries to regulate second-handsmoke for the sake of public health. It is really a good start. One the one hand,non-smokers especially chil dren and teenagers are effectively protected than ever before.Since second-hand passive breathing coul d no l onger threat their health, many serious diseases are avoid ed. That is of great significance. On the other hand, before l ong Harbincoul d be a successful mod el of tobacco control for other cities to copy. Then, there coul d be cl eaner air, healthier environment, and happier life in many cities.Unit 9 Ethics IssuesExercise 11. C2. D3.

And one ofthe real threats to keeping the peopl e we t rain in practice is having an ethical practice environment where they can actually practice with integrit y, and where they are notconstantly bar raged with morally dist ressing situations that burn them out.”3.Medication short ages often happen because there’s not enough economic incentive formanufacturers. For exampl e, certain int ravenous medications that are generics tend to be the ones that become scarce because there’s not much profit in making them, saidRosoff.Unit 10 Medicine and Health CareExercise 11.
