第一类:政治类:

1. 政治本身

97. \is unfortunate but true that political decisions and activities affect all aspects of people's lives.\

195. \should not be the pursuit of an ideal, but rather the search for common ground and reasonable consensus.\

89. \

2. 政府与人民(领导与被领导的人直接的关系):

45.\out the will of the people whom they serve.\

a) b) c) d)

Government officials have more insights and are capable to fully evaluate a specific problem in the long run. // the purchase of Alaska

Government officials have the responsibility to form the judgment according to their evaluation of the situation. It is just such responsibility which endow them power.

Public will could be instrumental in forming more precise and comprehensive judgment. Different people are representative of their own interest, public as a whole can have a comprehensive representation of the interest of different group

The fundamental of democracy require that the public view should be taken into consideration by the government officials.

79.\to politicians and other government experts, who are more informed and thus have better judgment and perspective than do members of the general public.\

160.\most essential quality of an effective leader is the ability to re main consistently committed to particular principles and objectives. Any leader who is quickly and easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion will accomplish little.\

202.\great thinkers and great artists, the most effective political leaders must often yield to public opinion and abandon principle for the sake of compromise.\

a) b) c) d)

Public opinion is instrumental for the political leaders to make a better solution.

For the most effective leader, the public opinion should be evaluated instead of absorbed unconditionally. Unconditionally abandoning principle for the sake compromise, will undermine the authority of the political leader, thus greatly render them ineffective when carry out governmental actions.

For the sake of maintaining authority and fulfill their responsibility, the political leader should not bend to the public opinion too often. Any public opinion should be thoroughly investigated before absorbed.

105.\to tolerate challenges from its own citizens.\

142.\ 【Position】:尽管质疑权威有时候会引起社会不安定,适当的质疑有利于社会健康发展。

a) b)

科学上,对权威的质疑有利于新理论,新发现的产生哥白尼,日心说。魏格纳质疑原有理论提出板块漂移。

在社会领域,适度的质疑揭露社会问题并且让人们团结起来去改变现状从而使社会进步。比如质疑men dominance的women right运动,推动了Equal Pay Act,19th宪法修正案保护妇女right to vote,等妇女权利保护的立法,提高了妇女地位,是社会的进步。

恶意的,非法的质疑会扰乱社会秩序,骚乱,恐怖主义

公众的质疑有利于社会的进步,但这种质疑不能超越法律的界限。

c) d)

8. \public.\

a)

It is always impossible for the political leaders to reveal everything to the public, especially some the information which can affect the national security. Different nations are competing and even antagonistic. Revealing some information could has no help for the solution but poses negative impact on the stability of a country. Unidentified illness

Withholding information should not be the excuse for political leaders to abuse their power. Withholding information at their will could provide the chance of corruption,

在不威胁国家安全,社会稳定情况下,政府行为应该尽可能透明,接受监督。

1

b) c)

167.\

honesty is not a useful virtue for a politician.\

1. 2. 3.

诚实坦白对每个人来说都是美德。对于政治家,能够树立良好的公众形象,赢得公民的赞赏和支持。例如Lincoln家里很贫寒,他在竞选的时候丝毫没有掩饰自己的贫穷,赢得了下层阶级people from low class的支持; 为了保证国家的利益和安全,也应当说谎。如:使民众安心。不能complete forthright

但就长远来说,A 正直的人品才能真正获得民众的支持和信任如:Gandhi, Martin Luther King B政治家们过分的欺骗民众会导致人民不相信政府并导致不满,并最终导致灾难性的后果。

3. 法律:

17.\are two types of laws: just and unjust. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws.\

a) b) c) d)

在民主社会中,法律的作用是。但是法律有时候可以被认为是just和unjust的。

对于不同的利益群体来说。比如污染环境的工厂,环境保护法要求进行污染治理,增加的成本造成工资下降和失业,工人利益因为法律而受到损害,认为法律unjust,而周围的居民则认为法律是just

对不同文化背景和宗教背景的人来说。比如刚移民到美国的亚洲人,也许在教育孩子时有点暴力是可以的,但是当地人肯定认为这是家庭暴力。被法律惩罚的亚洲父母认为法律是unjust

但是法律不仅仅规定了行为,还给了合法的途径去改变,废除法律。如果disobey和resist,只能降低法律权威和造成非理智的冲突,危害社会稳定,举刚才工厂的例子,村民与工人的冲突。

174.\of various circumstances, times, and places.\

【Position】: Laws are not carved in stone, but must reflect the changing needs of a society, at the same time laws should to be comparatively stable in its basic spirit.

a)

科技经济在不断的发展,新的技术和新的经济行为需要法律做出适当的修改,来保护人们的利益。//反垄断法,反对克隆的法律,antitrust law, Nineteen European nations on January 12, 1998, approved the first binding international treaty prohibiting the cloning of human beings.

社会在发展,道德标准也在变化,法律必须做出修改以适应新的社会.//美国宪法的修正案,妇女权利黑人权利的保护,Lincoln enacted the law to entitle equal rights to the blacks with the whites.

但法律的基本精神和框架短时间内不能变化,否则会破坏社会的正常运作,也降低了法律的权威。//把汽车形式方向突然改变,造成多少交通事故,人们对国家的不信任

b) c)

178.\cannot reform human nature. Laws cannot change what is in people's hearts and minds.\

【Position】: Laws are enacted to control or alter people’s behavior, thus it can indirectly influence the way people think for laws teach us right from wrong.

a) b) c)

法律规定了什么事情可以做,什么事情不能做。保护了人们的基本权利河合法利益,维护了社会稳定

通过对人们行为的约束,可以潜移默化的改变人们对于善恶的看法。//法律禁止私自限制他人自由,通过对违法事件的惩罚是人们总内心认为这样做是不对的,也是人们自觉的维护自己的自由。 不能用法律把某种思想强加与人,不能限制人们思想的自由,压制人们的言论自由使得民主遭到破坏,滋生独裁与集权。//苏联

180.\moral behavior cannot be legislated.\

4. 政治与道德

169.\who treat politics and morality as though they were separate realms fail to understand either the one or the other.\

43.\be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards.\

a)

领导人的使命决定了更重要的不是道德,而是他们的领导能力,协调能力,处理危机的能力,道德上有点问题不妨碍他们成为有效的领导人。public official’s primary duty is to expand the wealth, prosperity and influence of the community, not to be a moral leader who is ought to care only about the morality of people// Clinton's sex scandal &the marital discretions of President Kennedy

作为public official,拥有一定的道德素质有利于树立威信,比如Martin Luther King和Gandhi防止权利腐败。 过多的道德要求会影响他们做出最有利于community的决策./杜鲁门Truman广岛长崎投原子弹,挽救了多少美国士兵的生命,提前结束了战争。

b) c)

5. 领导者本身素质:

24.\the use of that power.\

152.\only responsibility of corporate executives, provided they stay within the law, is to make as much money as possible for their companies.\

a)

为公司赚钱的确是corporate executives的responsibility之一,因为一个要发展下去是离不开钱的(给员工发工资需要钱,为公司作宣传打广告要钱,开发新产品新技术要钱,国家经济的发展也需要各个企业能够有盈利。比如

2

b)

c)

WAL-MART的盈利带来了就业,也给国家带来了税收,这个税收可以是更多人获益。

但是赚钱不是唯一responsibility, 对企业自身来说,give employees motives, 给员工提供良好的工作环境,为员工塑造融洽的人际关系氛围,给予员工发展和成长的机会。【这里引用赫茨伯格的双因素激励理论】对与社会来说,一个公司属于社会的一部分,所以除了赚钱,corporate executives 还有责任回报社会,做一些慈善事业【charity undertaking】取之于民,用之于民。这样不仅可以树立公司良好的社会形象,还可以帮助需要帮助的人。而且也体现社会对弱势群体的关注。

企业使用了一部分社会资源,如:污染、有限的能源、人力资本,有责任为社会承担责任。如:帮助治理污染、开发先进的节能设备。

6. 政治与媒体:

108.\Watching these proceedings can help people understand the issues that affect their lives. The more kinds of government proceedings-- trials, debates, meetings, etc -- that are televised, the more society will benefit.\

193.\is not the headline-making political events but the seldom-reported social transformations that have the most lasting significance.\

7. 其它:

123.\Everything about people -- their clothes, their friends, the way they talk, what they eat -- reflects their political beliefs.\

a)

服饰透露出宗教信仰,宗教信仰有时可透露政治信仰。如:Arabia people,男子身着white aba, 女子use headcloth, black gauze. Islamic. They believe that all the political power gender from Allah, every citizen has the right to participate in deciding national policy. b) c) d)

服饰和谈吐同时显示出人的阶层,受教育程度。通常情况下,中下层阶级更关注社会福利事业,下层人民生活状况;而中上层阶级更关心垄断大资本家(monopolistic capitalist)利益。 朋友间的政治倾向较为趋同。

有时外表可能欺骗人。A.有的人比较conservative B 有的人动机不纯,如:spy,C国家机器press

170.\surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but the general welfare of all its people.\

197.\progress and well-being of all other countries.\

a)

其他国家的生活质量提高会对一个国家产生正影响.A经济上如:北美自由贸易圈North American Free Trade Agreement,世贸组织,都对促进参与国家的经济发展。中国的廉价纺织品提高了美国人的生活水平。 B科技上:一个国家的科学成果可以促进其他国家的生产力发展。比如电脑是美国人发明的,但是对世界其他国家的科学技术进步都起到了作用。 b)

一个国家的不安定会导致其他国家也受到影响。比如美国和伊拉克开战以来,有很多难民refugee涌向了临近的伊朗等国家,对这些国家的社会保障造成了很大压力,也对这些国家的社会治安造成了威胁。有些时侯还会滋生恐怖主义,比如阿富汗Afghanistan,社会的动荡产生了今天的恐怖组织terrorist,对世界各国的安全都造成了威胁。 c)

但是对于一些封闭的国家,别的国家物质的进步与社会的安定对他的影响就很小。比如当时的清朝,实行封闭的政策,虽然西方国家由于工业革命而经济,科技实力都有很大提高,但是中国并没有借鉴这些经验与技术,最重落后与世界发展的步伐。

70.\after five years. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership.\

a)

b) c)

d)

在government, politics领域最好是要定期更新领导者, 因为when leaders have no fear of losing their power, they tend to abuse their power. 比如 美国总统任期term四年,所以为了给自己积累政治资本,他们就在任期内不敢随意abuse power而是实行对国家有益的政策

在business领域,更换领导者可以带来新的管理理念,给企业注入新的活力。比如杰克韦尔奇Welch对通用的贡献,引入了新的企业文化与管理制度,使通用的利润从1.6billion美元增长到2000年的12.7illion

有些职位需要长时间的稳定性,而且需要领导人长时间在职才能得出正确的政策,过频繁的更换会使得一项政策不能继续贯彻已得到长远的效果。比如美联储Federal 主席,宏观经济政策周期比较长,需要很长时间才能有效果,频繁人事改变不利于稳定。

还有许多其他方法来取得成功,比如精简机构,合理的奖励惩罚制度,更好的权利制衡机制。对企业来说,引进先进的技术,降低成本。对员工进行培训,提高生产力等等。

8. 政府的作为

82.\to exhibit.\

224.\

【Position】:Censorship does more good than harm to the wellbeing of society, the family, and the country.

a) b) c)

审查制度可以保护社会,国家,与个人的利益。邪教,淫秽作品

缺乏监督的审查制度会被用来压制人们思想,限制人们思想自由,危害民主。比如独裁国家,美国如果剥夺人们的言论,出版自由,那怎么会有今天的社会进步。

国家正确,在人们监督下使用审查制度,造福社会。

83.\ven though these areas are often extremely remote and thus accessible to only a few people.\

a) b) c)

这些地方往往是具有生态价值,保护这些地方有利于生态的平衡,如果被破坏则很难恢复。比如国家公园,保护区,原始森林,保护了野生动植物。

这些地方往往收人类影响很少,保护可以为人类将来对地球气候,地址演化提供资料。

但是对于一些生态环境已经十分恶化的地方,比如出现沙漠化的草原,会威胁到周围人的生存,政府需要采取措施,顺其自然只能使情况更加恶化。

10.\to thrive, because it is primarily in cities that a nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated.\

a)

经过历史上的发展,有文化传统的积累。城市确实更可能成为国家文化交流的中心,比如,北京的京剧,西安。因为主要的大城市往往是经济文化较发达的地区。比如,在纽约几乎每一周里都有各种游行,中国新年的游行,St. Patrick’s Day (爱尔兰的节日)游行等等

大城市作为经济文化交流的中心,文化间的交流,使得本国的文化与外来的文化互相作用,不利于原汁原味本土文化传统的保留。文化交流必然会趋于同化,相互影响,一个地区的文化传统很难在这样的冲击下独立生存下去。比如我们现在整天大吃KFC Pizza 看美国大片,听摇滚音乐,冲击了中国传统的地方戏剧和音乐。

反观乡村,也孕育和保存着一些已经被历史遗忘的文化传统,如美国乡村音乐,blues and jazz 都起源于南方小城镇,而美国的小说也大多起源于中部平原地区 关于政府的财政支持,政府的确是应该支持大城市的,如果它需要的话,毕竟大城市的发展关系着整个国家的经济发展。然而,我们应该明确的是政府绝不是因为文化的考虑而支持大城市,相反,为了保留文化传统,国家应该加大对小城镇或农村的支持力度。

b)

c) d)

*10. 政府必须确保给予主要城市发展所需的财政支持,因为一个国家的文化传统主要发源于并保留在城市中。

To preserve and generate a nation's culture traditions is one of the major tasks for the government. The development of the cradle of the culture various considerably, some may developed as cities and the others may be remained on the rural area. In recent yeas, with the trend of globalization in the city has become more and more manifest, people should give more attention on the rural area where the influence of the outsider efforts have much less than the city.

1、 在当今的全球化时代,大城市更应当被看作是各个民族相互交流和了解的舞台,而不是作为文明的发源地。

尽管,各个民族的发源地并不相同,有的在rural area有的则在大城市,但是大城市作为经济和政治发展的中心,各个民族和文化都回汇聚于此,因此已经很难作为文明的发源地而予以保护了。In today’s process of globalization, the big cities have no longer be regarded as the breeding ground of the single form of the traditional culture, but the platform which make the different cultures possible to understand and communicated one another. For one thing, the urban area has played a much larger part in the human world.

2、 相比之下,政府应当投入更多的精力和资金在rural area因为那里交通相对落后,人们对外交流有限,所以

能够保留相对完整的习俗和传统。此外,那里的经济相对不发达,政府通过资助是那里的文明作为paradigm保留下来,不光能够带动那里的经济,也能够将本国的文化延续下去。

3、 Rural area和城市都应当在保留文明和传统中发挥重要作用。城市是舞台,rural area是源头和保留地。欠发

达地区是文化的源头,大城市是文化的大海,两者都很重要:政府要从经济中心的角度去建设大城市,而不是直接的物质援助;要从保护文化传统的角度去直接支援欠发达地区,并鼓励他们走上大舞台。

20.\than to adults.\

【Position】:尽管儿童的成长关系国家发展可持续性,但成人才是社会的中流砥柱,因此国家应该优先为成年人提供服务。

a)

儿童关系到国家发展可持续性。儿童处在学习阶段,将来的他们为社会做出贡献。他们需要足够的政府投入,比如医疗,

4

b) c) d)

教育

但是成年人才是社会的根本。国防上确保国家安全,产业工人为社会创造财富,科技工作者推动科技进步

许多的社会问题都是由于成年人引起的,失业,老龄化,妇女权利,成人的这些问题不得到解决会影响政府的威信,妨碍社会稳定

政府应该把更多的重点放在成年人上,但不能忽视儿童的需要。以确保发展的可持续性。

56. Governments should focus more on solving the immediate problems of today rather than trying to solve the anticipated problems of the future. 【提纲】观点:平衡。当务之急和将来的问题都很重要。

a)

政府应该着力解决当务之急,如贫困,恐怖主义,环境污染,疾病,失业等等,毕竟这些问题直接威胁着人们的普遍福利。比如失业率上升,会使得社会上很多人找不到工作,导致了贫困,同时也使得犯罪率也上升,这些都成为社会不安定stability的因素。

然而这并不意味着我们可以忽视将来预期的问题。比如人口中男女比例失调,如果不予以考虑,将来会出现一系列的社会问题,如和犯罪and 心理有关的问题,再比如,环境问题,如果早预见环境问题的重要性,可能不会像现在这么严重。还有某些地区的人口问题,如果早预见到人口会给环境和社会带来如此大的压力,早控制人口,效果会好很多。 而且,政府如果只注重现在而忽视了长远,显然是对后代不公平的。还是环境污染的例子,现代人无节制的污染与破坏损坏了将来人的利益。而且这样做也是目光短浅的,我们在试图解决将来预期问题的同时也会受益,开发新的绿色能源energy source的问题上,科学家们在研究太阳能方面取得的进展可以为我们当前服务,如太阳能电池 solar battery,太阳能加热系统,solar heating system.

第二类:学习类:

9. 学习方法,态度:

229.\great depth rather than to start by trying to develop a sense of the whole.\

a) b) c)

这两种学习方法在学习种都是很重要的。细分可以是我们能有insight,精深的理解。总体上把握可以使我们看清没部分之间的联系,使理解更为全面。

在学习一项新知识,新技能时候,更重要的是先把握整体,再研究细节。先把握整体可以让我们清楚那一部分细节是最重要的

如果直接从细微处钻研,容易打击人的积极性,当对整体没有正确认识时候深入研究是十分辛苦的。没有对于整体的把握,不能很好的研究细节,比如数学,研究积分需要知道微分。容易过多重视细节而忽视各部分之间的联系与整体的效果

57.\depth of knowledge to be gained from books is much richer and broader than what can be learned from direct experience.\

117.\of knowledge to be gained from books is richer and broader than what can be learned from direct experience.\

204.\experiencing it is to learn nothing at all.\

28. \concepts that help explain those facts. Students who have learned only facts have learned very little.\

42 \people, students of all ages will benefit academically if they work frequently in groups.\

153 \should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively.\

a)

在质疑的过程中,可以加深对知识的认识,在解决问题的过程中,学习能力、查资料的能力、思考能力不断提高。如一项政策,在了解其目的后,学生可能质疑其会带来的负效应。在查找资料,询问老师后,可以了解到这些负效应能够以怎样的方式被解决。若不质疑,则可能停留在原地。 质疑促进了创新。人类的认识是有限的,不可能完全正确没有任何漏洞。质疑提出了问题,引起了创新。当魏格纳Wegener发觉世界地图不同大陆的海岸线有相似之处,他质疑了当时流行的地址理论,经过研究才提出了自己的板块漂流说。哥白尼Copernicus质疑地心说,才研究出了日心说

如果学生只是被动接受而不质疑,学习效率也不高。被动接受不能在学生大脑里留下深刻的印象,容易遗忘,因为没有经过自己的思考。例如,压抑学生的积极性,引起学生反感,不愿意学。

b)

c)

5

d)

过度的质疑影响了学习已有理论与知识。主要的目的是学习知识,时间是有限的,不能都用来质疑。另一方面,由于自己知识水平低而存在的疑问随着深入的学习会消除。比如刚学会加法的学生就质疑加法的正确性,怎么继续学习,不如等具备了全面的知识以后在质疑,或许那时更能有所发现。

155. \society offers so many ways of learning that reading books is no longer very important.\

38. \learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books.\

a)

电视媒体有很多有点。documenting and conveying temporal, spatial events and experiences。比如通过电视节目来了解动物的生活习性,或者表现山川河流的壮观景色来吸引游客。Thus the speaker's claim has some merit when it comes to arts education and to learning about modern and current events.世界每天发生很多事件,很难及时通过书来了解,电视提供了便利的条件。比如在大选期间,人们通过电视很容易了解候选人的政治主张,如果用书来,很难同样的效果

但是对于学习抽象的理论和哲学,人们需要深刻的思考。而阅读书籍可以引发人们的思考,而且描述很准确。比如学习孔子的思想Confucius,很难通过一个电视节目讲出它的精髓,需要自己通过阅读与思考去领悟。

书籍其他有点。便于携带,随时随地可以阅读。不详电视只能固定地点收看。而且书可以重复阅读,不同的时侯会有不同的理解。很多人有这样的经验,小时候度过的小说也许并不理解作者的思想,但是后来重看会有更深的体会。

不能忽略电视的缺点,电视节目追求的收视率audience rating,利润,而不是让人们获得知识。于是庸俗的电视剧会更多的占据电视的时间,迎合人们本能而不是理智。比如电视中的暴力,色情内容,反而有害。

b) c) d)

233 \innovations such as video, computers, and the Internet seem to offer schools improved methods for instructing students, these technologies all too often distract from real learning.\

205 \effects on life-long learning can only be positive.\

1 \whose views contradict our own; disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning.\

122. \have disagreed.\

4 \experience to that field of study.\平衡

a) b) c)

不可否认,许多基础学科的发展主要的成果都是源自内在的创造,伦琴roentgen发现了X射线,魏格纳提出了板块学说和漂移学说。

但是,一个领域的研究可以借签其它领域的成果而取得巨大的进步,当数学家mathematician John Nash把数学的思想用来解释经济现象后,当代的经济领域发生巨大的变化,很多Nobel经济学奖得主是数学家;

随着现代科学和社会的发展各个不同领域之间常常互相影响,新的交叉学科应运而生,不但促进了原有领域的发展还具有很高的新起点。(化学和生物的交叉产生了生化biochemistry,促进了近代临床科学clinic medicine的发展,如人造骨骼artificial bones的应用)随着社会的发展,越来越多的交叉学科出现,各个学科的发展需要多方面的知识。如计算机学科需要多种数学啊,艺术的知识; d) e)

尽管很少,仍有一些学科相对独立。例:数学有自己的理论体系(system info),基本依靠计算(calculation)、逻辑推理(logic ratiocinate),哲学(philosophy)依赖思考

总之,其它领域的成果对该领域进步的促进远大于其带来的不利影响,应该鼓励各个领域之间的相互交流。

10. 学习课程:

80. \interest in science.\

90. \students should be encouraged to pursue subjects that interest them rather than seek programs that promise entry into the job market.\

94. \student's field of study because acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly educated.\

In so far as the take the courses outside the student’s fields of study may expand him a wide spectrum of vision, I

6

fundamentally agree with the speaker that the real ―truly educated‖ should be based on the learning a wide scope of knowledge. However, close scrutiny reveals that overstate either the importance of the professional knowledge or the information outside will lead into jeopardize situation.

a)

Since various disciplines were interrelated, the study of courses outside the students’ own field may benefit the study of their own major.如:研究经济学的适当学习数学知识有利于对经济学的更深理解,如达芬奇Da Vinci即是科学家也是艺术家,他对人体解剖anatomy的深入了解,才使得他的油画十分优美,传神。 b)

首先,要解决一个问题,可能同时需要多方面知识,比如要编出一个很优秀的程序,仅仅懂得编程语言是不够的,还需要对软件工程,数学等方面知识的了解。比如,一个复杂的科研课题可能需要很多人共同合作完成,不但需要在专业知识上精通,如果具有管理学的知识可以更使工作更有效。其次,可以让学生发现她真正感兴趣的研究方向。比如德布罗意De Broglie开始是文学专业毕业的,后来接触了量子学才发现物理才是他的兴趣所在,后来提出了phase wave理论最后,广泛的学习各种知识能够拓宽视野 c)

过分强调学习其他学科的重要性可能会导致学生忽视专业的学习,毕竟社会需要对某方面有专长的人,这也是高校设置major的目的所在,浅尝辄止对个人和社会都无裨益;学习通信的整天忙于看文学,学习经济,哪里有时间去钻研通信方面的的知识,怎么合格的毕业? d)

只有在自己专业上有很深的理解,才能有所成就。对一些理论的理解,不是肤浅的了解就能得到的,需要长时间案的积累。比如Roentgen伦琴就是在自己的专业上辛勤奋斗了许多年才发现了X-ray

106 \the course means a decreased emphasis on academic subjects.\

78 \beings and thus help eliminate wars, cultural clashes, and other forms of conflict.\

5. \to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer.\

a)

使学生获得起码的知识水平与思想比如统一学习国家的历史与文化,可以can ensure all of our students be favored with the opportunity to learn all merits of the traditional values that have been created and tested for a long time by our ancestors比如学习数学,物理,化学这些学科,培养足够的逻辑思维和认知能力cognitive skill b)

B有助于大学设置课程 provide a predictable foundation upon which college administrators and faculty could more easily build curricular and select course materials for freshmen, 如果学生素质差别太大,很难找到一个合适的起点。Q保证教材的质量全国同一的教材可以请专家来编写,教材质量有保障,而一些地方可能没有条件来编教材 c)

但是对于某些特殊民族和地区,统一的国家教材可能难以满足他们的需要,甚至可能破坏他们的传统习俗和生活方式On the first place, in some special regions where local persons may possess some kind of traditions and customs totally different from the rest of the nation, unduly emphasize the application of the national curriculum may ruin their culture and value system.)。还有一些少数民族地区可以开必要的语言课程以及了解自己民族发展历史的课程。比如艺术学校的学生,就需要学习艺术类相关课程而重点不在科学知识上 d)

传输教条facilitate the dissemination of propaganda and other dogma—which because of its biased and one-sided nature undermines the very purpose of true education: to enlighten. Might wish to suppress – as some sort of threat to its authority and power. 比如国家间意识形态不同,各自通过统一的课程来攻击,贬低彼此,不利于培养思想完善的人

50 \faculties should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach.\

98 \and universities should offer more courses on popular music, film, advertising, and television because contemporary culture has much greater relevance for students than do arts and literature of the past.\

7

158 The arts (music, dance, visual arts, etc.) are vitally important to students' education and should therefore receive as much emphasis as mathematics, science, reading and other mainstream subjects.\

11. 分数的局限:

55. \grades seriously limits the quality of learning at all levels of education.\

100. \pressure to achieve high grades in school seriously limits the quality of learning. An educational environment without grades would promote more genuine intellectual development.\ 12. 其它:

179. \most human beings really want to attain is not knowledge, but certainty. Gaining real knowledge requires taking risks and keeping the mind open -- but most people prefer to be reassured rather than to learn the complex and often unsettling truth about anything.\

183. \we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and more mysterious.\

第三类:教育类:

13. 教育的目的:

177. The study of an academic discipline alters the way we perceive the world. After studying the discipline, we see the same world as before, but with different eyes.

a)

对于自然学科的学习,给了我们科学知识,让我们了解了世界的本质;对进化论evolutionism的学习可以使我们改变了过去认为上帝创造了世界的观点,而科学的认为所有物种都是逐渐进化而来的。魏格纳的板块学说使我们认识到现状的大陆不断漂移而不是恒久不变的,非洲和南美洲过去曾经是相连的continental drift and plate tectonics b) c)

对哲学和社会学科的学习,让我们学会用辩证,发展的眼光来看待问题;如:dialectic辩证法教给我们将事物一分为二的看待,有好有坏;Every coin has two sides.

专业知识的学习,跟使得我们倾向于使用我们的专业知识来看待问题。(例如我们看一栋房子,我学经济会考虑房屋是否经济,我同学建筑会考虑房屋的结构如何,学平面设计或者艺术会首先想到怎样来不知和装饰;

232. \purpose of education should be to create an academic environment that is

separate from the outside world. This kind of environment is ideal because it allows students to focus on important ideas without being held back by practical concerns.\

102. \education is a process that involves revising the ideas, beliefs, and values people held in the past.\

128. \In reality, however, formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free.\

201. \purpose of education should be to provide students with a value system, a standard, a set of ideas -- not to prepare them for a specific job.\

222 \sake is an outdated concept. Today, education must serve an ulterior purpose and be directed toward clear goals.\ 182. \ 14. 教育与社会:

130. \the destiny of society. Unfortunately, we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society.\

8

a) 儿童的社会化对于社会的未来很重要,儿童的社会化培养了儿童生活自理能力,基本的知识与技能,为价值观,道德的形成奠定了基础。比如孩子在游戏总表现出来的勇敢,领导,协作,诚实,与通过。如果人们由于不当的社会化导致了antisocial, 未来对社会只会造成危害

b) 但是社会的未来不仅仅决定与儿童的社会化,还有许多其他因素,卓越的领导人改变了社会的命运,Mahatma Gandhi改变了印度社会的命运,但是他的成功源自内心对自由的信仰,而不是来自出身印度上流社会的社会化。罗斯福Roosevelt虽然从小受残疾的影响没有很好的socially developed,性格也古怪。但是依靠New Deal给美国社会注入了强大的动力。

c) 现实的证据证明我们也掌握了很多进行儿童社会化的手段和方法,否则今天社会那些取得的卓越成就从哪里来。今天社会greater tolerance of differing viewpoints and people who are different from ourselves, 尊重和保护 individual rights, and greater cooperation across cultural and national boundaries, 都是由the most recent half-century创造的.今天的社会更加尊重妇女的权利,对黑人的歧视越来越少。社会对处在失业的,helpless的人给予更多的帮助。

52 \to question and criticize, and therefore does little to promote social harmony.\

154 \must be involved in the local schools. Education is too important to leave solely to a group of professional educators.\

a)

孩子有大段时间是不在学校的,但其健康成长应该是全面的full-scale教育,而不仅仅是学校教育。如:家长带孩子外出旅游,就可增加他们与大自然的接触,培养出眼界开阔的孩子broaden their horizon。若父母不参与到教育中,不在学校的时间孩子可能玩电游,或在一起看暴力片violence、或打架斗殴。 b)

但是父母虽然看起来最了解孩子,最知道孩子需要学习什么,以及学习的方式。但是他们往往会误导自己的孩子。父母对于自己生活中的某种遗憾会变成对孩子的期望,不能真正让孩子学习自己感兴趣的东西。比如父母当年喜欢物理,但是确没能在物理上有所成就。于是期望自己的孩子能在物理上有所成就,但是孩子喜欢音乐,父母的意见压抑了孩子的兴趣。 c) d)

父母过多的参与会扰乱正常的教学秩序。如果是home-schooling,即使可以请好的老师单独教育孩子,但是孩子缺乏与其他同龄人的接触,会造成性格上的孤立不能很好的融入社会。

而专业的老师,受过教育心理学,相关的学习与培训,更容易引导学生进行有效的学习。比如培养学生兴趣,耐心的知道孤立表现不好的学生。

15. 教育的方法:

228. \positive actions and ignore negative ones.\

230. \students -- and people in general -- prefer to follow directions rather than make their own decisions. Therefore, colleges should eliminate as many choices as possible in order to offer students clear direction.\

67. \should require students to engage in public-service activities in order to assure that each student receives a balanced, well-rounded education.\ 16. 教育与学生的关系:

223 \ 214. \identify those children who have special talents and abilities and begin training them at an early age so that they can eventually excel in their areas of ability. Otherwise, these talents are likely to remain undeveloped.\

a) b)

不可否认,有些神童的确是在小时候开始培养的。某些领域需要从小开始积累,联系,以后才可能有所成就,比如音乐,体育。例如莫扎特Mozart和贝多芬Beethoven。比如体操,小时候身体条件适合练习和培养,长大了就错过时机了。 判断一个小孩是否有天赋是很难的事情,仅看IQ或者EQ是不能得出结论的。比如Einstein小时候别人就认为他是个普通的小孩,读大学前人们也没看出什么优点,但是没有人否认他是20世纪最伟大的物理学家。而且有些领域如果小孩没有接触到,是不可能发现他有这方面天赋的,比如音乐。而且小孩子所谓的天赋也许只是一时的兴趣造成的,兴趣是会随着时间改变的,也许天赋在其他方面,比如De Broglie小时候在文学literature方面有天赋,但是后来确是在物

9

理上有更大的成就 c)

成就的原因有多种,比如自身努力;即使对这些小孩重点培养了,他们也不一定能够成为科学家,艺术家。Genetic reason固然重要,但是后天的努力是占很大的比例的,Edison就说过,achievement equals to 1% genius plus 99% diligence。所以自身努力是很重要的。更多的大师和有所成就的人是靠自己成年后的努力才得到的,比如Wegner等 d)

其他相关培养只注重于这些小孩特别技能的培养而忽视其他方面比如心理,文化知识的教育,会对他们的成长有损害。他们很可能因此人格有缺陷,这样反而可能对社会带来危害。如果对某一部分孩子进行特殊的培养,就会使得其它孩子产生自卑self-abasement的心里,也不利于其它孩子的发展,毕竟在某方面有天赋的小孩还是少数。

第四类:传媒类:

19. 传媒的作用:

111 \diminishing the differences among cultures.\

151. \electronic communications media, such as electronic mail and television, tend to prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication.\

a)

现代的通信有助于交流,比如电话,email等,效率很高,而且很快。可以达到及时交流的目的,十分方便。比如你和你的父母离的很远,书信方式显然很慢,而电话或者邮件,既省时间,又可以随时的达到沟通,可以让它们及时了解你的情况。

在人与人交往方面,阻止了meaningful,thoughtful的交流。Meaningful,thoughtful的交流需要面对面,有肢体语言作为辅助,很生动形象。比如一对情侣会以接吻的方式来表达对对方的爱,一个母亲会用抚摸孩子的方式来表达对孩子的关心等等,然而目前所有的高速交流方式都达不到这个要求。即便是可视电话,虽然可以看到对方的相貌,但是仍然不能让对方得到你的拥抱或者热吻。

在学习知识方面,这些通讯工具阻止了meaningful,thoughtful的交流。听老师讲课是一种互动的过程,可以提问,老师的回答帮助更好的理解。老师还能给学生自己的生动的经验。而通过这些告诉通讯工具来学习知识,是一种被动的过程,而且电视中更多的节目是迎合了人们追求感官享受,而很少能提供有益的知识。

215 \bombardment of visual images in contemporary society has the effect of making people less able to focus clearly and extensively on a single issue over a long period of time.\

第五类:艺术类:

20. 政府对艺术的态度:

85. \

a) 如果政府不对艺术进行扶持,艺术家完全可以凭借自己本身对艺术的酷爱来创作艺术作品。但是如果艺术家不能从艺术

上得到最起码的物质生活保证,那么就会阻碍艺术的发展,因为会有越来越少的人来从事艺术。

b) 政府对艺术的资助和扶持有助于艺术的发展,也有利于其它人去从事艺术创作。比如中国的唐朝,政府对艺术扶持,使

得当时无论是绘画还是音乐,包括文学都给后人留下了很多宝贵的遗产。

c) 当政府把过多的精力放到艺术上的时候,或者过多的放到某一类艺术的时候,就会让很多艺术家为了迎合社会需要而创

作艺术作品,这样就妨碍了艺术的完整性。比如政府总是支持艺术家去创作那些高深的,抽象的,复杂的艺术作品,会使得艺术家创作大量这方面的艺术,而那些来自生活的,简单的,一般人可以欣赏的艺术作品却很少,不能满足人们的需要,则这样就破坏了艺术的完整性。

总结:政府的资助有利于艺术的发展,但是如果强加在艺术上的政治色彩太浓的时候就会影响 艺术的发展。

101. \should provide funding for artists so that the arts can flourish and be available to all people.\

190 \as people in a society are hungry or out of work or lack the basic skills needed to survive, the use of public resources to support the arts is inappropriate -- and, perhaps, even cruel -- when one considers all the potential uses of such money.\ 21. 艺术家与评论家:

96 \critics who write about the arts tend to deny the existence of any objective standards for evaluating works of art, they have a responsibility to establish standards by which works of art can be judged.\

143. \and constrain the artist's creativity.\who evaluate works of art, such as novels, films, music, paintings, etc.

144 \critic,* who gives society something of lasting value.\person who evaluates works of art, such as novels, films, music, paintings, etc. 22. 艺术的价值:

131 \arts (painting, music, literature, etc.) reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society.\

49 \works such as novels, plays, films, fairy tales, and legends present a more accurate and meaningful picture of human experience than do factual accounts. Because the creators of fiction shape and focus reality rather than report on it literally, their creations have a more lasting significance.\ 23. 其它

76. \highly creative artists are always out of step with their time and their society.\

14. \is necessary for everyone to read poetry, novels, mythology and other types of imaginative literature.\

218 \merit, it must be understandable to most people.\

11

a)

b)

c)

对大部分的艺术来说,欣赏发生在人们与作品接触的那一刻,过深过难于理解会阻碍人们对于艺术的鉴赏,不能让观众得到美的享受。反面例子,正因为印象派的作品在当时太难理解,甚至有丰富知识和经验的评论加都不理解,不利于人们的欣赏

艺术作品不一定需要人们的理解。一方面:因为人们的知识有限,所以不可能完全揣摸出艺术作品所代表的作者的真实想法,但是只要能够欣赏就足够了。比如:对于某些外语歌曲,虽然由于语言障碍听不懂作者的意思,但是只要我们听到以后感到很美,那它就是有价值的。如有些诗,我们不能体会作者的真实意思,只要我们的精神得到放松也行;另一方面:艺术作品正是因为不容易被理解,才有了见仁见智的感受,才给人想象力,才full of humor and wit,才有价值;―一千个人眼中就有一千个哈姆雷特‖ hamlet,你能说有谁真正读懂了莎士比亚么?(Shakespeare),但这不影响hamlet to be a noted masterpiece.

一个艺术作品如果不是作者真实情感,passion,desire的表现,而是为了迎合观众或者让大多数人理解,那它就很难有长久的价值。比如很多无聊的商业片,虽然短时期被大多数人欢迎,但却不被评论家看好,很快就会被大家遗忘。

1. 诚然,在这个物质社会中,我们追求实用性是自然而然的事情,毕竟人类的生存于发展是需要物品的实用性来支撑的。

比如,我们的每天的衣食住行。特别是在科学技术方面,许多发明创造都是收到实用性的驱使。比如人们想要进行大规模计算,计算机应运而生;人们想提高交通速度,飞机也因此而诞生,人们要与世界交流,互联网也随之产生。从这一点上看,实用主义是人们生存发展的必然趋势。

2. 然而,我们要注意到在人类的文明进程中,实用主义并不是唯一的主题。人类对于宗教,信仰,理想,艺术的追求同样

推动了人类历史的发展。比如华盛顿,甘地,马丁路德金等人为自由而奋斗。

3. 必须承认,一些看似没有实用性的东西,如人类探索外太空,但是从长远来看,这是对人类有巨大意义的。是我们制造

有实用性东西的理论基础,比如数学,比如物理(physics),如果没有这两个理论的话,那么就不可能发明电脑。比如文学literature,绘画,音乐它们虽然没有什么实用价值,但是它们丰富了我们的生活。我们对太空的探索,对人类长远发展来讲都有好处。

63 \truly understand your own culture -- no matter how you define it -- requires personal knowledge of at least one other culture, one that is distinctly different from your own.\

207. \people have a diminished sense of who they are.\

a)

同意前半句,反对后半句。

礼节和典礼确实有助于定义一个文化,比如:中国的春节家人团聚体现着中国文化中的统一,放炮,西方国家的圣诞节,就是代表了两种不同的文化。伊斯兰Islamic的斋月Ramadan,A fast is held from sunrise to sunset, that is carried out during this period.成为伊斯兰文化的象征

但是礼节和典礼并不是唯一的定义文化的方面,因此也不会因为没有这些,社会和团体就会逐渐迷失自我,因为还有很多其他的方面,比如:穿着阿拉伯人女子戴纱巾,语言,习惯中国人适用筷子chopstick而西方人用刀叉knife and fork,艺术中国的山水画traditional Chinese painting与西方的油画oil painting,生活方式等等。

此外,有些礼节和典礼可能是不太好的方面,应该逐渐被取代,其中的很多礼节都是不太合理或者过于苛刻的,因此有时候这些礼节的消失不会不会让社会和团体迷失自己,反而还代表着社会的一种进步。比如:古代奴隶社会时期曾经有适用活人来祭祀的仪式sacrifice,还有葬礼仪式上用活人陪葬的be buried with the dead

先定义worthy. Welfare >harm/opportunity cost 当cost适当时,是可以的。对个人而言,比如,一个人为了更好的完成工作,选择在deadline前废寝忘食,到头来伤害了自己的身体。完全可以用更好的安排代替短期的突击。 对国家而言,比如,国家为了提高人们的福利待遇是对的,但是过分的提高税收则会提高成本,降低利润,影响经济的发展。 在worthy 的前提下,还要合法。如:一公司以非法手段窃得另一个公司股票,最终合并。可能经济效益大,但不合法。会给以后带来不好的影响。还要考虑道德问题。生物学家,花钱使用其助手的卵子germ cell, 安乐死科学界的剽窃或者作假(如哈福教授伪造科研数据被开除

We should be alert to the possibility that individuals, organizations or governments tend to plead a worthy goal in excuse of their contemptible means and private interests。如:Hitler为了自己的政治目标,不择手段,结果给世界人民带来了重大灾难

118 \any field of endeavor -- the sciences, the humanities, the social sciences, industry, etc. -- it is not the attainment of a goal that matters, but rather the ideas and discoveries that are encountered on the way to the goal.\ 28. 人的性格与价值观:

91 \reason often has little to do with the way people form values.\

12. \attitudes are determined more by their immediate situation or surroundings than by any internal characteristic.\

29. 个性差异与一致统一:

198. \show greater appreciation of individual differences.\

238.\59. \should learn to think and act independently and thus make the choices that are best for them.\

a)

不可否认,许多的榜样(model)、模范(paradigm)具备他们独特的优点,而这是大多数人所不具备的。通过学习、模仿(imitate)这些榜样,普通人可以迅速(immediately)找出自身的不足并加以改进,以获得属于自己的成功。比如成功的科学家都有的特质,勤奋diligence,喜欢思考,敢于挑战,和创新creativity,Newton对于苹果落地的思考,加上他的勤奋,最终发现了万有引力universal gravitation。 b)

然而,由于人们性格(character)、智力(intellect)、成长环境与经历、受到的教育的不同,每个人都面对自己独特的问题,并拥有自己的成功方式。简单的模仿甚至是照搬(copy)榜样,有可能无助于解决自身的问题甚至使自己迷失自我(lose themselves)。比如成功的比尔盖茨Bill Gates,出生在一个律师家庭,从小就很聪明的他,很容易的考上了哈佛大学Harvard University ,他在上大学期间中途终止terminate了自己的学业,去开发操作系统的代码MS-DOS。如果我们只看到他的这一点,并单纯的模仿他,我们并不会取得成功。因为并不是每个人都在开发软件发面有很高的天赋。 c)

同时,榜样身上的不足的地方,不能也学了。比如爱迪生Edison的一生有很多伟大的发明invention,而且被称为世界上最伟大的发明家inventor, 但是他轻视理论的研究,这就使得他错过了解释爱迪生效应effects的机会。所以我们在总结前人成功的同时也要看到他们的不足。

141 \that personal economic success requires conformity.\

c) d)

服从一直在某种程度上意味着合作,对于经济的成功有着重要作用,尤其对于复杂的经济实体,比如大的零售商;例如,现代经济市场中强调的所谓供应链管理supply chain management,它整合和优化了供应商、制造商、零售商的效率,形成了强大的资金,信息,物流logistics的支持,可以获得更高的利润

方面随着社会的发展,人们的需求越来越趋于个性化、多样化;另一方面,从供应者角度,产品差异化是保持竞争的有效手段;如Dell电脑的客户定制服务可以针对消费者需要组合电脑的硬件与软件的配置,更适合个体消费者的需要,给戴尔带来了很大的市场份额与盈利;

个性意味着创新,有助于在今天竞争日益激励的经济社会里取得优势;比如福特创新发明了flow production line

在经济上,新的投资利润往往很高,但是随着知道这个投资的人越来越多,利润会逐渐变少,直到没有。只有敢于冒险,自己寻找投资机会才能获得高的利润。比如股票投资,当股价很低的时侯被市场低估,如果它很有可能上涨,那么利润是很高的,因为成本低。但是很多人发现这个股票是值得投资的并开始投资,那么投资的成本会越来越高。而股价也逐渐接近它的价值,不会有很高的上涨

30. 合作:

95. \work more productively in teams than individually. Teamwork requires cooperation, which motivates people much more than individual competition does.\

14

1. 团队工作在庞大的复杂的工作方面有更多的优势specialty。每个队员都有自己的优点,充分发挥每个队员的优点会让工作更好开展。比如一个宣传团队,要完成一个新产品的宣传工作,擅长美工的人美工,写作的人写宣传材料,定计划的人定计划,则很快就可以实现产品的宣传。

不同的人带来不同的观点,使得认识问题更加全面,解决方法更加多样。比如在科学研究领域,一个团队的人研究的具体课题不同,在相互交流中能够使自己了解其他领域,知识面更宽,更利于发展。

对于较难较深的问题,适合一个人解决。更多的人可能会降低工作效率,以及会阻碍新的发现。比如爱因斯坦Einstein在没有任何团队的情况下提出了相对论theory of relativity。如果他当时是和团队一起合作的,那么很有可能错过发现相对论,因为在相对论刚提出的时候许多同行的科学家都反对他。

组织不好的team还会起到反作用,成员之间不能有效的分工合作,互相推卸责任,反而不利于提高效率。

2. 3.

4.

46. \some leaders in government, sports, industry, and other areas attribute their success to a well-developed sense of competition, a society can better prepare its young people for leadership by instilling in them a sense of cooperation.\

无可否认,现代社会充满了竞争。竞争是社会进步的动力:从政治角度,候选人之间的竞争使政治更加公开化,民主化,有利于选民(美国总统大选);从经济角度,商家,产家之间的竞争促进产品质量的提高,消费者受益,比如各种不同厂家手机的竞争,使得手机的价格越来越低;从体育角度,individual之间的竞争体现了人类超越自我的人性(Olympic spirit) 2.

培养youth的竞争意识能使他们具备适应社会的生存能力,为追求自己的理想而奋斗。竞争可以更好的发挥youth的潜力和能力,比如学校的奖学金的分配,培养了学生的竞争意识,使得他们更好的学习,去争取奖学金。在这个过程中他们也掌握了一定的知识。毕竟要成为leader,需要通过与其他candidate的竞争。只有懂得取竞争才能表现出自己的优点从而成为领导 3.

然而合作意识teamwork也很重要,只有和他人合作才能共同进步,懂得合作才能更加了解一个team成员的有点和不足,才能更好的成为一个有效的领导者。(Nobel prize winner are a group of scientists)篮球比赛的时候,在不断的合作中,这个队伍是才能赢得比赛的。 4.

结论:应该培养当代年轻人同时具有竞争和合作意识(mutually compensate)

213. \much emphasis has been placed on the need for students to challenge the

assertions of others. In fact, the ability to compromise and work with others -- that is, the ability to achieve social harmony -- should be a major goal in every school.\ 31. 个体与集体:

113. \is primarily through our identification with social groups that we define ourselves.\

162. \lives. However, the conditions in which people find themselves have been largely established long before people become aware of them. Thus, the concept of personal responsibility is much more complicated and unrealistic than is often assumed.\

175 \worked out by a team, but true innovation results from the enterprise and unique perception of an individual.\

1.

在以前,确实革新的动力往往来自于个人,很多的发明都是源自于个人的努力,例如:爱迪生Edison发明的灯泡,给人们带来了光明,比尔盖茨Bill Gate写的MS-DOS操作系统,使得使用计算机成为可能,瓦特Watt发明了蒸汽机带来了工业革命Industrial Revolution等等。 2.

但是,随着社会越来越复杂,不仅革新的细节需要来自于团队,实质的革新也不能单单依靠个人努力,比如:对太空的探索,天文学,需要很多行业专家的支持,比如机械学家,设计设备,计算机工程师,分析数据,数学家,提供必要的计算方法等。先在的微软和操作系统一个人是根本无法完成的。 3.

而且,个人的创新对于一个团队的创新有很大的作用,因为团队是由个人组成的,不同成员之间相互合作,共同努力,才能使一个团队有很多成果。比如一个团队每个人在一个不同的方面有所创新,结合起来可能取得很大的成就。

15

有些问题是短时间内不能解决的,需要长期几代人不懈的努力与规划。提高人的道德素质需要一点一滴的逐渐培养不可能一下子解决,预防贪污腐败制度的完善需要长期的研究与实践,这些与human nature有关的问题从来没有被解决过。 当代人对于后代有责任,比如环境的恶化,能源的消耗,对后代造成了不良影响,需要研究未来的能源危机与对策。需要针对环境的恶化做出补救措施,而且生态的恢复也是一个长期过程。

在过去,确实学多生物灭绝了,是自然选择的结果,生物进化的自然过程。比如恐龙dinosaur,蕨类植物fern。

但是现在,物种的灭绝与濒危和人类的活动有着直接的联系。Deforestation,湿地marshi的消失导致habitat的锐减,污染和人类的对其他动物的捕杀切断了食物链food chain,北美旅鸽曾有几十亿只,殖民者开发美州100多年,1914年9月这种鸟杀绝了。

不管动物的灭绝是否是人类活动造成的,人类都拯救那些濒危的物种。生物多样性是地球生态环境的保障,所有的物种通过食物链相互联系,任何物种的灭绝都会产生一系列的影响。鲸类靠鱼类为生,如果鱼类由于污染和过度捕捞而大规模灭绝,那么鲸类的生产就收到威胁。如果人类赖以生存的物种都灭绝了,那么人类还如何生存?

但是也要有度,一个国家的人类财力是有限的,不能一味的全用来保护濒危物种。保护濒危物种与社会的进步,经济的发展不应该对立。

植物与动物对与生态环境的保护,十分重要。植物的光合作用提供了氧气与动物的食物提供了栖息地,动物为人类和其他物种提供了生存的必需。比如,磷虾krill为南极动物提供了食物,如果磷虾灭绝南极生物都会面临灭绝。热带雨林被破坏,影响地球的气候,影响人类的生存

18

b) c)

社会的资源是有限的,不能过分的进行保守的保护,人类也要生存。比如家具需要木材,砍伐树木。人类需要食物,捕捞海洋鱼类。他社会问题同样需要投入人力财力,比如失业,贫困,自然灾害

更好的办法是开发利用与保护的平衡,既在可能的范围内保护动植物,也保障了人类自身的需要。比如可以一边砍伐树木一边植树造林。可以通过科学方法进行人工培养,不破坏野生种群,比如磷虾

38. 社会进步:

133 \problems of modern society have led many people to complain: 'We live in terrible times.' Yet, given the choice, no one today would prefer to live in any other time.\

a) b) c)

随着现代社会发展,出现了许多新的,复杂的社会问题:失业,日益恶化的环境,儿童犯罪等等

不可否认,社会文明程度发展了,科学技术水平发展了,人们的生活水平提高了。比如移动电话给人们的通讯带来极大的便利,网络的发展使得我们可以获得更多有价值的信息 解决了许多过去存在的社会问题,比如瘟疫,妇女的选举权

137. \

211. \decision-whether made by government, by a corporation, or by an individual person-must take into account future conditions more than present conditions.\

226 \complex and challenging than the problems faced by their predecessors. This illusion is eventually dispelled with increased knowledge and experience.\

39. 理想与实际的关系:

99 \to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of view. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, more immediate options.\

a)

From a philosophical point of view, living is experiencing, which is an everlasting interaction between men and reality。从实际出发使得我们尊重事实,符合自然的规律。所有的发明都在现实中得到检验,也是为了解决现实生活的中的问题。

如果采取理想主义,导致mental disorder和失败。理想主义导致逃避主义,面对困难逃避现实而不去补救,长久下去造成更大的失落,挫败,mental disorder。行为不符合实际,不能最后成功。乌托邦

但是理想对于成功有推动作用,理想主义带来希望,激励,灵感。人类对飞翔的梦想推动了飞机的发明,对未来的憧憬激发人们的动力克服困难。 最好是二者的结合

b) c) d)

148 \ 40. 竞争:

2. \

a) b) c)

竞争是自然的规律,只有通过竞争才能优胜劣汰。Natural selection,物种的进化,人本身就是进化竞争的结果。 竞争对社会是有益的哦。人与人之间竞争提高了人的积极性,效率,激发人的潜力。企业之间的竞争,促进了生产力发展,提高了商品,服务的质量,消费者最终得到实惠。科学家之间竞争推动了科学技术的进步。

过度的竞争造成破产,失业,压力,增加了社会不稳定因素。不公平的竞争更会对社会造成危害,腐蚀道德

37. \most societies, competition generally has more of a negative than a positive effect.\

第十类:历史类

41. 历史与现代:

26 \people would agree that buildings represent a valuable record of any society's past, but controversy arises when old buildings stand on ground that modern planners feel could be better used for modern purposes. In such situations, modern development should be given precedence over the preservation of historic buildings so that contemporary needs can be served.\

a) b) c)

Save valuable resources and recalls a community’s goal and dreams,一个民族的文化与历史就是通过历史遗迹来保留的,所以为了后代保留这项历史建筑,故宫,大雁塔,西安城墙 带来经济利益。保护古代建筑好的城市吸引更多游客,使他们停留更久花钱更多。A recent travel industry survey over 40% Americans visiting historic place, battlefield, building spent 40% more than typical traverler.西安,北京 当矛盾出现时候,如果历史建筑有历史价值,保留意义,应该保护。否则一旦破坏,无法恢复比如西安的城墙

19

circumvallation,已经有700年的历史了,是世界上保存最完整的城墙,当时为了修火车站,就拆除了一段城墙,这样就破坏了城墙的完整性。使得城墙不能再恢复其原貌。

147. \

① 从物质的角度看,确实是有相互排挤的。比如:生产方式:流水线大规模工业生产取代了过去的和家庭生产。生活方式

上:通信工具的选择,mail逐渐被取代。交通工具选择,火车飞机代替了马车carriage

② 更多时候,我们看见他们是共存的。如:生产上,仍然有许多手表是手工制作的,很受欢迎,而且价格比大规模生产的

还高。而大规模生产的手表满足了更多普通人的需要,低价格,可以接受的质量。艺术上:现代画派和经典画家的画都被人们所喜爱。思想上,古人的思想对今天的社会仍然有很大的影响力,虽然生活方式,价值观念都有所不同。比如日本虽然科技发达,经济发达,但是仍然在思想上受到儒学Confucianism的影响

③ 不管是现代化还是传统,我们都不能盲目的接受活着否定,而是去思考他们的优点和不足,更好的让它们为我们生活,

社会进步做出贡献。比如虽然现代化使得生产和科技有了很大进步,但是也造成了污染,环境的破坏,如果用传统的思想,注意人与自然的和谐,便会使我们生活在更好的环境中。工业化虽然给我们提供了许多方便的日用品,但是确使得现代人越来越依赖外界,余人沟通全依靠电子邮件,聊天软件,破坏了人之间的感情交流,传统的方式虽然看似lll,但是确能更有意义的沟通。

189 \people disregard the great works of the past, it is because these works no longer answer the needs of the present.\ 42. 历史作用:

125 \

a) b) c)

研究历史可以掌握人类社会发展的趋势与规律,从而预见将来的社会变革。从封建制度到资本主义,的发展,政权推翻与建立

研究历史上的重大事件的起因,发展和结果,可以为分析现在的问题提供分析的基础,那些因素是否存在,又有了新的因素。1929年美国出现的经济危机

但是研究历史不是万能的,现在和过去相比出现了许多新的,从没有过的问题,问题更为复杂。仅仅研究历史是不能预见未来结果的。比如全球变暖,克隆技术,原子能技术

120 \today that looking back for an understanding of the past provides little guidance for living in the present.\

a) b)

当今世界确实发生了翻天覆地的变化,人们生活的环境,生活的条件都发生了巨大的改善。世界经济互相联系,科技的巨大进步。出现了许多更复杂,更新的问题。例如新的疾病,非典。世界经济一体化的问题。Euthanasia安乐死问题 但是当今生活中许多问题和历史是有关系的,失业,经济问题,法律问题,道德问题。A purely contemporary analysis may shed some light on the problem, but a historical assessment is clearly fundamental.比如low voter turnout在美国,知道了它从何时开始就可以分析出当时的根源,可以分析现在这种因素是否仍然存在,还是有新的因素。当时的解决办法对现在是否有效。。。 但是不能简单的照搬历史,毕竟当今和过去有着千差万别,很多客观调价都变了,学要我们根据今天的具体情况来调整,得出符合实际的解决问题的方法。比如教育制度,就不能只按照过去的内容来教育学生,科技的进步,要求我们加入新的知识。

c)

54 \teaches us only one thing: knowing about the past cannot help people to make important decisions today.\

103 \study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives.\

a) b)

在现代社会,科技的进步导致传统观念和过去人类积累的经验都面临挑战moral euthanasia Homosexuality;world issue nuclear warfare。医学上,AIDS, SARS.有些情况没有出现过,有些可能用不上 但更多是有用的。At the individual level, 从历史中得到鼓舞,吸取经验教训。如:Edison; perpetual motion machine。Community level,了解GE100年来发展的历史有借鉴意义。了解一个国家,一个民族的历史得到归属感。,中国人对自己5000年历史的了解更使他民族自豪感和爱国。At the nation level, only seek into history can we learn how events cone into being.如:苏联解体,冷战后的世界格局。研究世界大战的起因,能够避免今后发生同样的战争 有些看似回顾历史没有用处,但是确很有用,比如犯罪,社会运动。都是人本性的作用,了解历史能把握这些,更好的制定政策。

但是不能简单的照搬历史,毕竟当今和过去有着千差万别,很多客观调价都变了,学要我们根据今天的具体情况来调整,得出符合实际的解决问题的方法。比如教育制度,就不能只按照过去的内容来教育学生,科技的进步,要求我们加入新的知识。
