over.Thanks to the cold weather,we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear.This turned the tide of the battle.The

enemy,caught off guard,soon surrendered.

汽车在二十世纪改变了世界，尤其是在美国和其他工业国家。汽车确实对我们大有用处，但也带来了一些危害，比如声音污染、空气污染以及公路死亡事故。据报导汽车事故被列为全世界导致死伤的主要原因之一。可庆幸的是，现代发明家们正在重新发明汽车。新的推进系统（PROPULSION SYSTEM）、燃料、设计以及制造汽车的手段在过去的十年中得到迅速发展。例如，通过使用卫星辅助的全球定位系统，汽车里的计算机能给汽车精确定位；随着遥感器的应用，智能汽车能排除不少汽车事故。

Automobiles changed the world during the 20th century,particularly in the United States and other industrialised nations.They are indeed of great use to us,but they brought some hazards as well,such as noise and air pollution,and highway fatalities.It is reported that automobile accidents rank among the leading causes of death and injury throughout the world.Fortunately modern innovators are reinventing the automobile.New propulsion systems,fuels,designs,and means of manufacturing cars have all developed rapidly in the past decade.For example,by using the

satellite-aided global positioning system (GPS),a computer in the automobile can locate the vehicle's precise position,and with the application of sensors,smart cars can eliminate most car accidents.

亨廷顿（Huntington）教授的论文使我深受启发。他认为，在一个多元化社会里，不同意见是不可避免的。关键在于怎样正确对待不同意见，使之发挥建设性、而非破坏性的作用。

他还说，在一个多元化社会里，我们必须注重人际关系，强调合作，多从他人视角考虑问题。如果某些群体自视高人一等，不尊重其他种族或宗教，那么整个社会有可能陷入瘫痪。

我相信，要是我们把上述想法付诸实践，那我们就有可能创造出一种新的文明。

就我来说，如果要雇个职员我肯定不会单凭他的长相就作出决定。外表往往

是靠不住的。比如说吧，要是你凭外表去判断诸如毛姆笔下的爱德华·海德·伯顿这样的人，你就错了。从外表和举止来看，伯顿好像是个浑然一体的人。他个子很小，满头白发，有着一双温和、蔚蓝的眼睛。他文雅坦率，和蔼可亲，许多人都说他是个世上最令人尊敬的人。然而，他对需要他帮助的朋友却很残忍。他侮辱和愚弄山穷水尽的伦尼，让他去做那样的蠢事。更让人吃惊的是，他对伦尼的死全然冷漠无情。毫无疑问，他是个铁石心肠的家伙。

For my own part,I should certainly hesitate to hire a clerk on his

face/appearance alone.Appearances are all too often deceptive.For instance,you might well commit an error in judgement if you went by appearance only with people like Edward Hyde Burton,the character created by Maugham.As far as appearance and manners were concerned,Burton seemed a man all of a piece.He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes.Kind,gentle and candid,he was described by many as one of the most respectable people on earth.Nevertheless,he turned out to be cruel to a friend in need of his help.He insulted and fooled Turner who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture.What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Turner's death.Without

doubt,Burton was a man with a heart of stone.

In the modern world, there are more ways than ever to waste time, and all kinds of distractions are eating into our precious time.

无疑，我们现在处于持续的压力之下，要长时间工作，要创造更多，拥有更多，从而成为一名成功人士。于是乎，工作狂（WORKAHOLISM）——一种现在癖（ADDICTION），就这样出现了。工作狂其根源是基于这样一种认识：通过

长时间的工作、完成更多的项目，我们便能提高我们的自身价值。

许多妇女今天感到同样的压力，要创造，要出人头地，而与此同时，又要养育子女，承担起各种家庭责任。

研究表明，工作狂往往使我们与家人的关系疏远。它会迫使我们长时间地劳作，仅留微乎其微的时间与我们所爱的人聚在一起、交流感情。家庭成员间的亲密关系在此过程中注定要消亡。

There is no question that today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours,to produce more,to possess more,and to become a success.Workaholism,a modern addiction,has thus arisen.The cause of workaholism is the perception that by working longer hours and completing more projects,we will enhance our self-worth.

Many women today feel the same stress to produce and get ahead and,at the same time,to nurture their offspring and shoulder a variety of domestic responsibilities.

Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from immediate families.It forces us labour longer and longer hours,leaving a minute fraction of time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones.Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.

砾（RUBBLE）之中。然而有一点是肯定的，许多幸存者将要忍受多年的痛苦和不幸。这件事传递的死亡信息极大地震撼了当地人，一些信教的人聚集在一起祈求这样的事情永远再也不要发生。

A severe earthquake occurred all of a sudden at 10 a.m. Yesterday in a rural area,about 200 kilometers east of the city.Initial reports coming out of the region indicate the earthquake has caused widespread devastation and heavy casualties.Many adolescents were among those injured or killed.Yet it remains obscure exactly how many people were hurt and killed as the entire area has been enveloped in

rubble.However,one thing is certain:many of the survivors may face years of pain and suffering.Local people were clearly shaken by this reminder of their mortality.Some religious ones have gathered to pray that it will never recur.
