Passage 1 ,

Every year scientists open more doors that lead to the secrets of 'z$Q rFW
new beneficent drugs. *guoWPA|Ij
There is bacitracin, which was discovered by two scientists at N"3b{Qio
Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. These two phgm0D7
people, Dr. Frank Meleney and Miss Balbina Johnson, knowing that the =J ym%m
human body had some kind of action in itself with which it fights ~I}&V T
infections, began to search for the chemical that does this. In the g]c 6&Y,#
hospital they examined badly infected wounds of people who had been m o:D9
hurt in accidents and made tests of the blood and the infected tissue. `+uhy,
Finally, in the wound of a girl who had broken a leg bone, they .<Zy|1

found the useful germs which seemed to be fighting the poisonous w.0qp)}
infection. They took some of these into the laboratory and from them /jRRf"B
developed cultures; that is, larger masses of the germs with which to $bs
G]
experiment. At last, after long and painstaking work, they were able r3\cp0P;s
to draw from these germs a substance which is a germ destroyer. Dr. QV&D l_
Meleney and Miss Johnson named it bacitracin-baci because the germ is, di>cMS 4 c
in scientific language, a bacillus and tracin for Margaret Tracy, E8~}PQW:I
whose broken leg supplied the germ. Lg+G; W
Bacitracin at first was used only locally; later the drug was =hMY2D

Passage 2 !Lh^oPT"I
Our echo sounder located the wreck of a French submarine that had m-jHze`D3
foundered during the war in seventy-five feet of water outside Dakar hnznp1[#@
harbor. Dumas and I plunged down and found the vessel lying clean and c?%(Dp E
upright, surrounded by such clouds of fish as we had rarely seen-small
qBT.x,$
silver fingerlings and dark metals. As Dumas swam into the shadow of po}F
6m8bX
the port propeller, he came face to face with a gigantic fish, grouper CQpCS_M
variety, cousin to our familiar Mediterranean meroblast-fish. This # (- Qx
specimen was ten times the size of our old acquaintances: he weighed LbII?N8`N
at least four hundred pounds. The wide, flat head and tiny eyes EFc-foN
advanced on Dumas; the ugly mouth yawned open, wide enough to admit yA3wtm/?
him. Dumas knew that sedentary groupers have no teeth to speak of; it "jaJr5Wv=y
seemed, however, that this individual might wish to swallow him zR32PG>9
unmasticated in the fashion of the mero type which swims agape(大张着嘴), _kY#D;`:r
taking in whole octopuses(章鱼). SnYLdwgl
The cavernous mouth approached within two feet; Dumas sculled 5IbJ
backward, watchfully keeping a modest interval as the monster ZlojbL@|4
unhurriedly followed. The knowledge that the species was harmless gave nA~E
"*
Dumas little comfort as he gazed into the fish's mouth; he and the Ve/xnn]'
grouper exchanged mutual stares of revulsion for a seemingly x[Wwq=~
interminable period while Dumas was steadily pressed back. Then the c1xrn4f@a
beast lost interest, turned aside, and returned to its dim home under )$Z=t-q
the lost submarine. Dumas surfaced in a reflective mood: "Imagine | 0,vQv
being swallowed by a lousy grouper." ZY56\qcY

Passage 3 tK%c@gGU9
Reruns of situation comedies from the fifties and early sixties dramatize the kinds of problems that parents used to have with their children. The Cleavers scold Beaver for not washing his hands before dinner, the Andersons punish Bud for not doing his homework; the Nelsons dock little Ricky’s allowance because he keeps forgetting to clean his room. But times have changed dramatically. Being a parent today is much more difficult than it was a generation ago. N6Z{BLZ
Today’s parents must try, first of all, to control all the new distractions that tempt children away from schoolwork. At home, a child may have a room furnished with a stereo and television. Not many young people can resist the urge to listen to an album or watch MTV-especially if it is time to do schoolwork. Outside the home, the distractions are even more alluring, children no longer “hang out” on a neighborhood corner within earshot of Mom or Dad’s reminder to come in and do homework.. Instead,, they congregate in vast shopping malls, buzzing video arcades and gleaming fast-food restaurants. Parents and school assignments have obvious difficulty competing with such enticing alternatives. jQj,q{eA
Besides dealing with these distractions, parents also have to shield their children from a flood of sexually explicit materials. Today, children can find sex magazines and pornographic paperbacks in the same corner store that once offered only comics and candy. Moreover, the movies young people attend often focus on highly sexual situations. It is difficult to teach children traditional values when films show teachers seducing students and young people treating sex as a casual sport. An even more difficult matter for parents is the heavily sexual content of programs on television. eUO9a~<
Most disturbing to parents today, however, is the increase in life-threatening dangers that face young people. When children are small, parents fear that their youngsters may be victims of violence. Every news program seems to carry a report about a mass murderer who preys on young girls, a deviant who has buried six boys in his cellar, or an organized child pornography ring that molests preschoolers. When children are older, parents begin to worry about their kids’ use of drugs. Peer pressure to experiment with drugs is often stronger than parents’ warnings. This pressure to experiment can be fatal if the drugs have been mixed with dangerous chemicals. IJU0[EA]F
Within one generation, the world as a place to raise children has changed dramatically. One wonders how yesterday’s parents would have dealt with today’s problems. Could the Andersons have kept Bud away from MTV? Could the Nelsons have shielded little Ricky from sexually explicit material? Could the Cleavers have protected Beaver from drugs? Parents must be aware of all these distractions and dangers, yet be willing to give their children the freedom they need to become responsible adults. It is not an easy task.. Me:{{-V4

Passage 4 3X
dn62[&
Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes ex phe+b
in contact with them. Their values--this can't be repeated too often--are }aZrou3E
not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not K+mU_+KRp
necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to ?'2 v.5TQt
time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small .3g&9WvN!Z
worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. 5<N~3
1z
But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live .;slrg(5F
with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? &s-VSu7
Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger 8vJdf9pB*
of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious W uf/LKj
risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old. 9Dq.lr^
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, E$T(Qu<-
it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this #HDe
sen
comparison right through to the provision for spare parts. But never forget _m7co :
that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And M c@GH
at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to YOKR//|3
try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the xOM_R2Md
forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed 'Q`C[*c
to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as m >hovikY*
they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them "VQ|Ed
a try, on the principle that while there's life, there's hope. H%~

Passage 5 G`9cd\^
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child who learns to talk does not learn by being corrected all time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught--to work, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle--compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. qPL^zM+
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find a way to get the right answer. Let's end this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know. #Tup]czO
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one's life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get in the world? Don't worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it."

From the beginning of our relationship, in 1977, polls have been my common frame of reference with Bill Clinton.(96)We used polling not to determine what positions he would take but to figure out which of the positions he had already taken were the most popular. I would always draw the distinction between deciding on policy and identifying certain issues for emphasis by telling Clinton, (97)“You print the menu of the things you want. Then I’ll advise which dish to have for dinner tonight.” + ~HL"Vv
(98)In that October 1994 survey, we polled 800 voters distributed across the country in proportion to each state’s share of the national vote. (99)It defies logic that interviews with 800 Americans will accurately mirror the opinions of 250 million of their countrymen. But many laws of science seem crazy. The fact is that if you got a phone book of the entire United States, from a to z, and you pulled out every 312,500th name and interviewed that person, (100)the resulting 800 interviews would accurately reflect -- within a margin of error -- the opinions of everybody who is listed in the phone book. I’ve seen it time and again. The final poll results accurately state the final election results. It’s strange. ) "'J]6

美国人却为其物质的财富付出了代价:即艰苦的劳动。当最早的定居者到达北美大陆时,这里自然资源丰富,但却都未被开发利用。只有通过艰苦的劳动才能将这些自然资源转变成物质财富和舒适的生活。对历史上大多数的美国人而言,辛勤的劳动既是必要的,也是有报偿的。正因为如此,美国人逐级地把物质财富的拥有看做辛勤劳动之后应得的报偿。在某些方面,物质财富的拥有不仅仅是人们付出劳动的证明,也是其能力的表现。 !A qSG-
