11 Philosophy of Life
1.课文
Dreading the scorchers just makes the summer start sooner and last longer.
你越害怕大热天，你就越觉得夏天来得早，老也熬不完 Instead of dreading life’s minuses, he simply enjoyed its pluses.
我不畏惧生活的种种缺陷，而是尽量去享受它的种种好处 The second piece of pie, or the second $50000, never tastes as good as the first. So far as happiness is concerned, it hardly matters whether one drives a BMW or, like so many of the Scots, walks or rides a bus.
第二块馅饼，或者是第二笔5万美元的进账，决不会像第一次带给你的感觉那么好。就快乐而言，无论一个人是开宝马还是像许多苏格兰人一样走路或搭乘公交车，他所获得的快感都不会有太大的差别。
Money can increase or decrease happiness, depending on how it is used.钱可以增加或者减少快乐，关键要看如何用它。
Thus, university students who must cope with disabilities are as likely as able-bodied students to report themselves happy, and their friends agree with their self-perceptions. “Weeping
may linger for the night” observed the Psalmist, “but joy comes with the morning.”所以，在谈到快乐时，那些必须与残疾做斗争的大学生认为自己和身体健康的学生并没有两样，而且他们的朋友也同意这种看法。正如《诗篇》的作者所说，悲恸可能会持续一整夜，但是快乐也随着黎明而到来。
So it happens that yesterday’s luxuries become today’s necessities and tomorrow’s relics.
昨日的奢侈品变成了今日的必需品和明日的老古董，如此循环，永无止境。
Compared to the high of winning a million dollars, ordinary pleasures pale.
同中了100万美元的兴奋相比，普通的乐趣会显得黯然失色。
Happiness is not the result of being rich, but a temporary consequence of having recently become richer.
幸福不是变富的结果而是刚刚变富带来的短暂的效应。
Happiness is less a matter of getting what we want than of wanting what we have.
与其说幸福树得到我们想要的不如说是珍惜我们现在拥有的。
When the possessor becomes possessed by accumulating
ever-more possessions, the adaptation-level phenomenon has run wild.
当所有者被积聚更多的所有品这种方式所迷，适应水平这个现象就失控了。
Never has a culture experienced such physical comfort combined with such psychological misery. Never have we felt so free, or had our prisons so overstuffed. Never have we been so sophisticated about pleasure, or so likely to suffer broken relationships.从来没有一个文化经过这样的物质舒适和这样的心理伤痛。我们从未感到如此自由，监狱里却人满为患。我们从没有对幸福的感情如此复杂，也从未这么容易关系破裂而受伤。
If we have full employment and greater economic growth—if we have cities of gold and alabaster--but our children have not learned how to walk in goodness, justice, and mercy, then the American experiment, not matter how gilded, will have failed.
如果我们全部就业，经济增长更大，如果我们有金子和石膏建造的城市——但我们的孩子没学会如何追求善良、正义和怜悯，那么美国试验无论外表多么金光闪闪，都将注定失败。

一、课文
Call it nature or nurture, harmless fantasy or insidious indoctrination, but Hollywood is discovering that it still pays not to fight the royal urge.说是本性也罢，后天教养也好，无害的幻想也罢，诱人的灌输也好，但是好莱坞发现满足人们对王室电影的迫切要求仍然有利可图。
Indeed, in prince, Paige realizes that she needs to be rescued from her disciplined but single-minded careerism as much as she needs to assert her independence.的确，在《王子与我》中，佩吉意识到，一方面，她要坚持独立；另一方面，她不该把追求事业成功当成自己的唯一目标，她要把自己从中“解救”出来。
What women have tried to achieve for other women, says Thomas, is choice in every step or their lives.女性试图为其他女性所争取的是生活中每一阶段都能做出自己的选择。 She should be pretty, but in a class-president way, not a head-cheerleader way.她应该漂亮，属于班长型知性之美，
而不是啦啦队长式的妩媚招摇之美。
It’s not the girl who must prove herself worthy of princess-hood; princess-hood must prove itself worthy of the girl.并不是女孩子们必须证明她们自己配得上公主或王妃的头衔，而是公主或王妃的身份必须证明其本身值得女孩子们拥有。
There’s something a-little-have-your-tiara-an-disdain-it-too about making your protagonist ambivalent about the very fantasy that people paid $9 to see them live out.让你的主角对于幻想心生矛盾难免有“戴着公主的冠冕又嫌弃他”之嫌，人们花9美元去看童话故事的女主角有美满结局。
13.Management
Building a company that can prosper far beyond the presence of any single leader and through multiple product life cycles is clock building.创建一个公司，让它跨越多个产品的生命周期而繁荣，而不仅仅只是在某一任领导在位时昌盛便犹如制造钟表一般让人叫绝。
The primary output of their efforts is not the tangible implementation of a great idea, the expression of a charismatic personality, the gratification of their ego, or the accumulation of personal wealth.他们所付出的努力并没有实实在在的体现一个伟大计划的实施上，也没表现在个人
的感召力上，更不在自我价值的满足上，或个人财富的积累上。
They brainstormed a wide range of initial product and market possibilities, but they had no compelling “great idea” that served as the founding inspiration for the fledgling company.
他们开会献计献策，讨论着各种各样的最初的产品及各色各样的市场可能性，但他们并没有任何值得为之兴奋的理念启发他们创办一家公司。
HP, Sony, and Wal-Mart put a large dent in the widely held mythology of corporate origins——a mythology that paints a picture of a far-seeing entrepreneur founding his or her company to capitalize on a visionary product idea or visionary market insight.惠普索尼和沃尔玛大大削弱了人们长期以来信仰的关于创办公司的神话—一个目光长远的企业家对想象的产品进行投资或依据非凡的市场洞察投入资本并创办他自己的公司的美丽神话。
The long race goes to the tortoise, not the hare.长途赛跑的胜利者是乌龟而不是兔子。

Mocking a man’s masculinity is only one of the inadvertent slights that visiting corporate executives and government officials can make in China that serve to emphasize the
cultural gaps they are trying hard to minimize.在男子气概这个问题上取笑别人，这种无意中轻慢了他人的举动恰恰突出了他们与中国的文化隔阂，尽管这些到访的企业经营者和政府官员们一直努力地想要减小这种隔阂。
Indulging in small talk and meandering toward the main point rather than getting down to business right away.不是直奔主题而是纵情谈论小事迂回到正题的传统
“Be modest in demeanor. Listen well. Preach little,” he says, “Watch how others do things and follow suit”.行为谦虚，认真倾听，尽少说教，他说道，观察别人如何做并照着做。 From the moment of his birth the customs into which he is born shape his experience and behaviors. By the time he can talk, he is the little creature of his culture, and by the time he is grown and able to take part in its activities, its habits are his habits, its beliefs his beliefs, its impossibilities his impossibilities.从一出生起，他出生所处的环境的习俗塑造了他的经历和行为。到他能说话时，他就是他所属文化的产物，到他长大成人能够参与活动时，文化的习俗就是他的习俗，文化的信仰就是他的信仰，文化的禁忌就是他的禁忌。
But, wherever humans have lived and live today, there is culture with all of its elements embedded in a civilization
that expresses that core of thought and feeling in its language, its institutions and other social organizations.但是，无论人类曾经和今天住在哪里，总有一种文化，他所有的成分根植于另一种文明中，这种文明通过语言，风俗和其他社会组织表达核心思想和情感。
A study of anthropology and history make it very clear that
humans have created divisions and exacerbated superficial external differences for their own ulterior purposes whether political, social, economic or religious.人类学和历史学研究清楚表明人和人之间已经产生了差别并且加剧了表面的、外在的差别以达到他们隐蔽的不论是政治、社会、经济还是宗教的目的。事实是我们在令我们不同的基本方面更相似。

1.1 What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment. 2 some of the dire projections may not occur, but in light of the warnings from our best scientists, it will be beyond irresponsible to take that bet. 3By badly disrupting that envelope, we adversely affect every dimension of human well-being that is tied to the environment. 4 In 2004, Swiss Re warned in a report that the costs of natural disasters, aggravated by climate change, threatened to double to150 billon a year in 10 years. 5The threat of this major disruption coming from a number of factors, including the increased costs of damage from extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, heat waves, and major storms. 6 Stern also points to the consequences of climate change on the environment and on human health as economic growth and productivity suffer under the weight of degrading environmental conditions. 7Moreover, we would incur a very large opportunity cost, having lost out on the chance to become the economic leader in developing alternative and more efficient uses of energy. 4.1In recent years the mushrooming power, functionality and ubiquity of computers and the Internet have outstripped early forecasts about technology’s ra te of advancement and usefulness in everyday life. 2Alert pundits now foresee a world saturated with powerful computer chips, which will increasingly insinuate themselves into our gadgets, dwellings, apparel and even our bodies. 3In light of what I have just described as a history of largely unfulfilled goals in robotics, why do I believe that rapid progress and stunning accomplishments are in the offing? 4Properly educated, the resulting robots will become quite formidable. In fact, I am sure they will outperform us in any conceivable area of endeavor, intellectual or physical. 5 Human will play a pivotal role in formulating the intricate complex of laws that will govern corporate behavior. 5.1Sundown had seen his pockets empty before, but sunrise had always seen them lined. 2Along came a youngster of five, headed for the dispensary, stepping high with the consequence of a big errand, possibly one to which his advancing age had earned him promotion. 3 Content, light-hearted, ironical, keenly philosophic, he watched the moon drifting in and out amidst a maze of flying clouds. 4People’s money must be spent to advance their priorities, not to line pockets of contractors or to maintain projects that don’t work. 5 They had entered a maze of fences, through which they twisted and turned for a long time before finally finding their way out again. 7.1 Through necessity, I was entering a club more viewers are joining by choice: the post television society. 2Unless you got proactive with VCR, you did not copy, carry or remix what you saw. This was why mass media were culturally unifying: those moments that mattered, we all saw in exactly the same way. 3Why sit through 90 minutes waiting for the good bits when an army of online editors will separate the wit from the chaff? 8.1But amid this gloom, there’s buzz about consumers’ shifting demand toward ‘green homes’---and how builders with this expertise remain busy despite the bust. 2.It’s taken almost as a fait accompli,that green building is where the market is headed. 3.If there is a downside to this trend, it may be the growing numbers of green homeowners who’ll brag about low utility bills the way golfers boast of low golf scores.
武汉理工大学复试英语常见口语问题
2012考研初试成绩已经公布，接下来就是复试，其中的英语口语可以说是让很多英语不是很好的学生发怵， 针对这种情况，武理同起点考研在校研究生团队结合往年的辅导经验，总结了一下考研英语口语复试中常见的 问题及应对策略，希望能给正在准备复试的同学有所帮助。 首先必有的一个环节就是自我介绍，考生可以提前背一些自认为最容易把握的模板，并把自己的特色加在 8 里面，这将会为你在老师心中的印象加分不少。其实，把一种模板掌握得很熟练，足矣。 在自我介绍完了，老师就会开始问你问题这里列出一些常见的问题，可以认真准备。注意在准备的过程中， 要结合自己的经历和见解来准备答案，让自己回答的问题和整个的自我介绍融为一个整体。 在每一年的面试中都会有很多相同的问题，这些问题看起来很平常，却有很多陷阱。回答这些常见的看起 来很平常的问题，是很有艺术的。 传统面试问题（Sample Traditional Interview Questions） 1、"What can you tell me about yourself?" （"关于你自己，你能告诉我些什么？"） This is not an invitation to give your life history. The interviewer is looking for clues about your character, qualifications, ambitions, and motivations. 这一问题如果面试没有安排自我介绍的时间的话。这是一个必问的问题。考官并不希望你大谈你的个人历 史。是在寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索。来判断你是否适合读MBA。 The following is a good example of a positive response. "In high school I was involved in competitive sports and I always tried to improve in each sport I participated in. As a college student, I worked in a clothing store part-time and found that I could sell things easily. The sale was important, but for me, it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied. It was not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them. I'm very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best." 下面是一个积极正面回答的好例子："在高中我参加各种竞争性体育活动，并一直努力提高各项运动的成绩。 大学期间，我曾在一家服装店打工，我发现我能轻而易举地将东西推销出去。销售固然重要，但对我来说，更 重要的是要确信顾客能够满意。不久便有顾客返回那家服装店点名让我为他们服务。我很有竞争意识，力求完 美对我很重要。" 2、"What would you like to be doing five years after graduation?"（"在毕业以后5年内你想做些

武汉理工大学 基础英语 2002
武汉理工大学2002年研究生入学考试题 课程代号619 课程名称基础英语 Section One: Reading Comprehension (30) Direction: In this section there are four reading passages followed by 25 multiple-choice questions. Read them and write your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Passage One Education was of primary importance to the English colonists and was conducted at home as well as in established schools. Regardless of geographic location or finances, most Americans learned to read and compute numbers. For many, the Bible and other religious tracts were their only books; however, the excellent language contai ned in such works usually made them good primers. Many families owned one or more of Shakespeare’s works, a copy of John Bunyan’s classic A Pilgrim’s Progress, and sometimes collections of Engli sh literary essays, poems, or hi storical speeches. In 1647 the Massachusetts School Law required every town at least 50 households to maintain a grammar school. The law was the first to mandate public education in America. In the middle colonies at the time, schools were often dependent on religious societies, such as the Quakers and other private organizations. In the South, families employed private tutors or relied on the clergy to conduct education. At the outset, most elementary schools were for boys, but school s for girls were established in the eighteenth century in most cities and large towns. In spite of the informal atmosphere of most American schools, the literacy rate in the colonies of mid-eighteenth century America was equal to or higher than in most European countries. Before the American Revolution, nine colleges had been founded, including Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, the College of New Jersey (now Princeton), Brown, Rutgers, Dartmouth, and Kings College (later Columbia University). By 1720 the natural sciences and modern languages were being taught, as well as courses in practical subjects such as mechanics and agriculture. At the end of the 18th century, medical schools were established at the College of Philadelphia and at King’s College. 1. Which of the following words best describes the English colonists’ attitude toward education? (A) Indifference (B) Distrustful (C) Enthusiastic (D) Casual 2. According to the passage, most Americans learned how to _____. (A) write (B) read (C) farm (D) speak a foreign language 3. According to the passage, all of the following sometimes substituted for school books EXCEPT ______. (A) historical speeches (B) works of Shakespeare (C) literary essays (D) biographies 4. According to the passage, the Massachusetts School Law applied to every town with how many households? (A)Less than 50 (B)Exactly 50 (C)Fifty or more (D)Fifteen 5. According to the passage, the middle colonies often depended upon which group to provide education? (A)Private organizations (C)Established primary schools (B)Colleges (D)Businesses 6. According to the passage, who often conducted education in the South? (A)Public school teachers (B)Doctors (C)Clergy (D)Politicians 7. How well educated were Americans in comparison to most European countries? (A) Much worse (B)The same or better (C)Far better (D)Less or equal 8.
