Fortunately,time has its own perspective.Walter Rodgers,a former senior international correspondent for CNN,is a columnist for The Christian Science Monitor.四、写作：（题目来源于SAT1考试写作20%）Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.Nowadays nothing is private:our culture has become too confessional and self-expressive.People think that to hide oneone’’s thoughts or feelings is to pretend not to have those thoughts or feelings.They assume that honesty requires one to express every inclination and impulse.Shame””Adapted from J.David Velleman,“The Genesis of ShameAssignment:Should people make more of an effort to keep some things private? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies,experience,or observations.范文：I cannot help but believe,despite my slight ambivalence over the issue of privacy,that the trends which now-a-days indicate a slight reluctance on part of people to keep some things private,are dangerous.Shows like"Jerry Springer"in the USA tend toreveal information that is inherently dangerous for young children,and thus should be kept private.A problem with capitalism that I have become cognizant of,through my observations, is that if some activity can help amass profits,it is widely employed.This almost insane drive to attain profit maximization not only ignores external and societal costs, but is setting dangerous cultural precedents.Since lurid,sensationalist confessions by 'average'people are quite appealing to the general television viewer,it is unsurprising that myriad shows have propped up on television,which pander to these very wants by exposing stories and information which is better kept dissembled.In this context,the show'Jerry Springer'epitomizes my argument.In this show,an array of family problems are presented to an audience,not for informationdissemination,but for'entertainment';In this case,which means—and I think this is quite obvious—nothing but mockery and amusement over the antics of people whochoose to expose their problems.These'personal predicaments'range from some less disturbing ones,such as people cheating on their friends or marital partners,to extremely grave ones,such as people sleeping with their relatives.I am not someone who would like to contravene principles like freedom of expression, or freedom of choice.But democracy as a system doesn’t herald absolute freedom for its own sake;rather,it champions the cause of'live and let live'.The latter principal is surely being violated by people who choose to expose such stories—for no plausible reasons I can conjure,since no family problem has actually been solved by such shows—to impressionable young children;for TV ratings and parental supervision do not always work.Am I exaggerating?Is it not harmful or psychologically detrimental when a child is exposed to such ideas?You be the judge.2013年上海外国语大学高级翻译学院会议口译试题（中午口译题）我今天要讲的题目是展望今后十年，第一个问题，发展优势的创造。
