1.Today in the United States, there are over 22 million adults using the Web, about half of whom access the Internet at least once a day. Meanwhile, the variety of activities on the Web is broadening at an amazing rate. N There is almost no topic about which you cannot find fairly interesting material on the Web.

2.Where are we going to get the time to live with the Web? In some instances, people will actually save time because the Web will make doing things more efficient than in the past, being able to get information about a major purchase, for example, or finding out how much your used car is worth, or what your cheapest way of getting to Florida is. That is easy to find on the Web, even today.

但是我的大女儿可不这么认为。记得有一天晚上，我和 老婆喝得酩酊大醉，我们郑重其事地想给她取名博阿迪西亚， 但是第二天吃了片布洛芬（注：一种止疼药），头脑清醒之 后，我们选择了埃米莉这个名字。现在她正大发雷霆，对这 个名字非常不满，她给自行车轮绑上刀子，骑着它在花园里 转悠，说我们无趣，毫无想象力。 14 我是很无趣，很没有想象力，但那是有原因的。小时候， 我养了四只乌龟，其中沙利文和泡泡死了。剩下了吉尔伯特 和吱吱，它俩让我成了笑柄，也让我深深感到有一个合理的 取名规则是多么重要。

所以我特别推崇冰岛的取名方式。在那里，你的姓就是 在你父亲的教名后面加上 “森”字（意思是“儿子”），或 是“道蒂尔”（女儿）。所以，如果查尔斯王子在冰岛就应该 被叫作查尔斯·菲利普森，奈加那·劳森（注：英国的一位美 女厨师）就应该是奈加那·尼格尔斯道蒂尔。 16 女权主义者不喜欢这种取名方式，但是这种方式已经存在 了几百年，效果不错，她们不想看到有人滥用这种取名方式， 突发奇想给自己的儿子取名叫雪上摩托。因为那样的话，如果 这个儿子也有取怪名的癖好， 说不定会给他的女儿取名叫菲 菲·特里克西贝尔·桃花·雪上摩托道蒂尔。（注：一位知名 的爱尔兰音乐家和社会活动家给两个女儿分别取名叫菲菲·特 里克西贝尔 [Fifi Trixibelle] 和桃花 [Peaches] ，作者这里 有点讽刺的意思。）

因为随着人口的增长，姓氏就显得越来越有必要了。忽然 间，在一个村子里出现了两个同名的人，所以人们就开始 用姓氏来区分他们。一般来说，这些姓氏不会传给下一代， 但在罗马帝国灭亡后，爱尔兰成了最早使用世袭姓氏的欧洲 国家之一，而且爱尔兰姓氏早在公元10世纪就出现了。

Unit 9 Text A身为医生意味着什么？过去几十年间，医学院校的课程设计及其实施发生了重大的变化，这在很大程度上反映了医学院院长和教师们的良苦用心，他们致力于帮助学生做更好的准备，以应对未来整个职业生涯中的各种挑战。
虽然实施的变革的确令人称赞，但仍有更多未竟之事。
我曾在许多场合提出，医学教育界只有对医学教育的目标做出更加清楚的界定，才会更加清楚需要做出何种改变。
我也曾建议，为了在医学教育的目标上取得共识，必须首先回答一个根本性的问题：身为医生意味着什么？这反应了我的信念，我认为医学教育的主要目的之一就是让学生深入学习身为医生的意味所在。
毕竟，当他们从医学院毕业时会被授予医生这个头衔，即使他们还没有做好从事实际医学实践的准备。
即使这样，当他们接受医生这个头衔时，难道不该理解身为医生的意味所在吗？提出这个问题，我不想对医生一词做出可以在字典中所找到的那种中规中矩的定义。
相反，我的目的是在医学教育界寻求对医生的特征，即个人素质的一致看法。
这些特质是指那些能够满足大众对于医生期待的品格属性。
已经有人提出，掌握可以运用到医学实践中的丰富知识和全套技能就是对身为医生意味着什么做出了阐释。
如今，做医生需要一些基本知识和技能毋庸置疑。
但是同样显而易见的是，医生所需的知识和技能因他们所选的职业道路的不同而有所不同。
因此，虽说医生要行医就必须掌握知识和技能，但是不可能通过确定所有医生必须掌握的知识和技能来阐释身为医生的意味所在。
但是，我认为如果想满足大众的期待，所有医生应当具备一些特有的个性特质，而正是这些特质界定了医生身份的本质。
首先，医生必须关心病人。
美国医学年鉴中最著名的引文之一是Francis Peabody 1925年对哈佛医学院学生的演讲。
Peabody在演讲中说：“照顾病人的秘诀在于关心病人。
”有许多文采灼灼的文章描述了病人是多么看重真正被医生关怀的价值。
但是在现代社会，医务工作者经常把关怀等同于治疗，有时他们倾向于将自己的角色局限于提供能够让病人病愈康复的治疗。
研究生新阶英语阅读 Unit 9 参考译文
研究生新阶英语阅读unit9参考译文Text A单项计时和多项计时1多年接触外国文化使我发现，复杂的社会在组织时间上至少有两种不同的方式：一种是根据不同时段安排不同任务，一次干一件事，这种计时制多见于北欧地区；另一种是在一个时段同时进行多项任务。
这两种系统在逻辑上和实际操作上都迥然不同，因此就像油和水，无法互融，各自既有优点也有缺点。
我把同时做多项事情称为多项计时或P-time,而把北欧系统——一次做一件事——称为单项计时或M-time。
多项计时强调的是人员的参与以及任务的完成，而不是强调对事前计划的执行。
对待预约时间也并不很认真，因此，食言是常有的事。
同时，多项计时也不像单项计时那样明确。
多项计时的人们很少感觉时间“被浪费了”。
时间通常被看作是一个点而不是一条丝带或一段路，但这个点一般却是很郑重和严肃的。
例如，如果一个阿拉伯人说：“我一个小时左右会见你”或者“我两天后见你”。
第一句话意味着他（她）会在一个小时之内见你。
第二句话意味着至少两天之后才会见你。
身处多项计时模式的社会里，人们严肃认真地对待这些承诺。
2尽管单项计时文化中的人恪守时间的安排，但是有时事情的发生却不像单时制预料地那么好。
因为我们的生活在很多时候都是难以预料的，谁能准确无误的预言某一客户、病人或多宗交易将要进行的时间。
这些都是人生交往中无法估量的因素。
也许今天十分钟能完成的事，明天得需要二十分钟才行。
有时人们有拼命还赶不完的任务，而过几天却又有剩余时间，所以说他们“浪费了”剩余的时间。
3北美人在拉美和中东经常会感到心情郁闷。
因为不论在地中海和阿拉伯国家的市场、商店还是集市，他们都处在多项计时的大环境中，周围到处是购物付款的顾客，但只有一位收银员，大家都争着吸引收银员的注意，收银员也恨不得一次就让所有人付完帐。
由于没有公认的秩序确定谁先谁后，也没有排队一说，因此也就不清楚到底谁来得最早。
对北欧或美国人来说，周围似乎充斥着混乱和喧嚣。

Summary of Unit 9
Summary of Unit 9Just before September 11th, 2001, the US mass media emphasized sports, the lives of celebrities and a Congressman. Then everything changed. September 11 attacks caused a sudden shift of mass media focus in the United States .The shift is an excellent example .Mass media provide us all forms of information and help us to classify it.Why and in what ways can mass media affect our perception of reality?Modern mass media have four characteristics. Firstly, mass media communication is expensive. Its sources of income mainly come from participant admissions/subscriptions and contributions, or come from sponsorship and advertising. Secondly, mass media sometimes have no significant news to report. Then they will focus on something trivial (such as sports, celebrities) again. Thirdly, mass media include much more forms of communication than print and electronic ones. Lastly, the false information is a temporary irritant.Mass media have manipulative features so that it could affect our perceptions easily. Now mass media are very competitive. It is the key to get and hold the attention of mass media shoppers. How to do? Mass media exploit eras of strong emotional arousal, to help shape our knowledge and opinions. Programmers focus on content sequences with a high probability for emotional arousal and program content and commercials related to violence, sexuality, and food/shelter to attract and hold attention.Now the Computer Age has revolutionized mass media. The dominance of corporation mass media and the quick expansion of the populist mass media constitute a cultural paradox. Mass media pose opportunities coupled with dangers.。

Chapter 9 Inspection, Insurance and Arbitration9.1 Introduction(1) Commodity Inspection 商检Commodity inspection is an activity, which relates closely to the two parties concerned. It refers to the fact that both imports and exports are inspected to see that the ordered goods are the same as what the importer intends to buy.The seller, as well as the buyer, pays much attention to the inspection of goods. For the seller, it has much to do with his reputation, whereas for the buyer, he has to make sure whether his interests have been well protected.Usually, the goods will be inspected at the port of shipment and reinspected at the port of destination. If the quality, quantity or weight, packing, etc. of the goods ordered by the buyer should be found no in conformity with the contracted stipulations upon reinspection by a commodity inspection department, the buyer shall have the right to lodge a claim against the seller by presenting the relative inspection certificates issued by a contracted inspection organization, within the time stipulated in the contract.(2) Insurance 保险Insurance is also a key issue in foreign trade. In international trade, the transportation of goods from the seller to the buyer is generally over a long distance and it has to go through the procedures of transit, loading and unloading, storage, etc. Undoubtedly, these goods, either for import or export, are subject to damage or loss. So it is customary to insure the goods against risks of collision, leakage, pilferage, fire and storm, etc. What’s more, they must be insured against these risks in accordance with the mode of transport used, the nature of the goods and the insurance terms stipulated in the contract.As a practice, it will make plain in a contract as to who will cover the insurance and bear the expenses. If the goods are sold on CIF terms, the seller is responsible for the insuring and the premium. For CIF transactions, the seller usually effects insurance for 110% of the insurance value against (risks) as per Ocean Marine CargoClauses of the PICC or other insurance companies. As for FOB or CFR terms, the buyer should arrange the insurance and bear the covering expenses.Insurance coverage varies in content. The People’s Insurance Company of China provides three basic types: Free form Particular Average (FPA), With Particular Average (WPA) AND All Risks. Nevertheless, the terms of insurance must clearly specify what insurance clauses are applicable, for China Insurance Clause (CIC) is different from the Institute Cargo clauses (ICC). In this way, it will avoid any possible misunderstanding with regard to the responsibility of parties concerned.The purpose of insurance of insurance is to provide compensation for those who suffer from loss or danger that may be incurred. In fact, if goods are properly insured, neither the exporter nor the importer will suffer any loss. In case of any damage or loss, the insured should claim quickly, usually within a month, by providing all the documents required.(3) Arbitration 仲裁In international business, when no amicable settlement can be made between the buyer and the seller, the disputes may be referred to a tribunal of their own choice. This method of settling disputes is called arbitration, which is regarded as a normal incident of commercial life—a civilized way of resolving the differences of opinions which are bound to arise.Arbitration is a means of settling disputes between the two parties through the medium of a third party, whose decision on the dispute is final and binding. Generally speaking, the parties concerned should pay, attention to the following main points concerning arbitration while consigning business contracts:The contents of an arbitration clause;Where to hold arbitration;The application of substantive law;The appointment of arbitrators;The writing of an arbitration clause.9.2 Situations Conversations9.2.1 Inspection(1) Key SentencesPart One: Discussing the InspectionA.

Careful and proper inspection is an indispensable part to ensure the quality of the goods to be purchased.K: Let’s first specify the inspection right, OK?Y: OK. What are your inspection stipulations for your imports and exports, then?K: According to the inspection clauses, inspection must be conducted before shipment by recognized surveyors, who then issue certificates concerning the quality, quantity, etc. These certificates may be taken as the basis for negotiating payment. Upon arrival of the imported goods, the Administration for quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine at the port of destination should reinspect the goods. Should the quality, specifications, quantity or weight be found not in conformity with the stipulation of the order, due to causes other than those for which the insurance company, shipping company, airlines or post office are liable, the buyer shall have the right to lodge a claim against the seller on the strength of a survey report or inspection certificate issued by the Administration for Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine at the port of destination. Such a survey report shall be final and shall as the basis for filing a claim.Y: What you mean is that the exported goods should be inspected before shipment, and the imported goods should be reinspected after their arrival, right?K: You are right. It is quite common in international trade today.Y: Very reasonable. The interests of both the buyer and the seller are taken into account.B. Talking about ReinspectionK: As for inspection, our practice has proved to be quite reasonable and it has been accepted by our foreign customers.Y: Yes, I think so, too.

As regards reinspection, can we appoint any authentic surveyor without your approval?K: In order to carry out the contract smoothly and avoid unnecessary disputes, it’s best for us to name the inspection organization that shall be approved by both sides and be stipulated in the contract.Y: I see what you mean. But what shall we do if the results from the two inspections do not coincide with each other?K: We’ll have a seminar of specialists and surveyors from both sides to clarify which is correct.Y: If we do like this, I’m sure we can resolve the differences through friendly consultations, and no case under dispute shall then be submitted for arbitration.K: I hope so.9.2.2 Insurance(1) Key SentencesPart One: Various CoverageA.

All the terms and conditions of the insurance contract suit us.D. Please consider the terms of the insurance policy.F. Are there any other clauses in marine policies?(2) Situational ConversationsA. Taking about the CoverageY: What kind of insurance coverage have you got in mind for this batch of computers, Mr. Kinch?K: Considering our deal is based on CIF terms, we’d like to have it covered under WPA.Y: Is the damage of the goods included in WPA?K: No, not yet, it belongs to the Risk of Breakage.Y: Could you cover the Risk of Breakage for us, then?K: Sure. But as you know, the Risk of Breakage is an additional insurance coverage. If it is required, the extra premium incurred will be for the buyer’s account.Y: I see. What about All Risks, then? Do we still have to pay the extra premium?K: You don’t really have to. As a matter of fact, All Risks covers the insurance against all risks of loss or damage to the insured goods arising from sea perils, and some external forces.Y: Do you mean that risks such as breakage, leakage, TPND, hook and contamination damage are all included?K: Yes, absolutely.Y: By the way, Mr. Kinch, how shall we calculate the premium?K: That we’ll do according to conventions. It’s only a percentage of the total value of your goods. It’s very low.Y: Thank you, Mr. Kinch. So, with regard to insurance, let’s put the following clause down in the contract: “Insurance is to be effected by the seller for 110% of invoice value against All Risks as per Ocean Marine Cargo Clauses of the People’s Insurance Company of China.” OK?K: OK.B. Talking about the PremiumY: I’m sorry I have to mention this again. After a second thought I think we’d better have the insurance of the goods covered at 130% of the invoice value. Do you think that can be done?K: I think so, but please not that our insurance coverage is for 110% of the invoice value only. Therefore, the premium for the difference between 130% and 110% should be for your account.Y: I see. Then, how about your covering All Risks and War Risk for 130% of the invoice value with the PICC?K: I’ll do that. You can rest assured that we will have the goods insured as soon as they are shipped.9.2.3 Arbitration(1) Key SentencesA. If you don’t agree to accept our proposal, we would like to settle by arbitration.B. Arbitration can be conducted either in China or in other countries.C. In spite of this arbitration clause, I think disputes between parties can usually be settled through consultations instead of resorting to arbitration.D. Arbitration is generally the last resort if there is no alternative.E. The decision of the Commission shall be final and the arbitration fee shall be borne by the losing party.F. Arbitration will be carried out in compliance with the commercial law of China.G. What documents must we furnish to arbitration?H. If arbitration is to take place in China, which substantive law will apply?I. We wish to settle this dispute fairly and suggest that we submit it to arbitration.J. It is not necessary to submit a case to arbitration as long as our two parties can discuss the matter in a friendly manner.K. We agree arbitration be held in a third country in Sweden, for instance.(2) Situational Conversations: About ArbitrationY: Oh, Mr. Kinch, the arbitration clause suddenly occurred to me just now. This transaction is rather different from usual. Besides the large quantity, the computers we have ordered are very valuable. In case disputes arise, we should include an arbitration clause in the contract.K: Arbitration clause? Mr. Yu, I think it doesn’t matter whether there is any arbitration or not. If any disputes arise, I’m sure that they can be settled through an amicable negotiation.Y: Yes, that sounds fine. But the provision of arbitration is really of primary importance and a matter of great concern to both of us. It will be generally the last resort if there is no alternative.K: OK, we have no objection then. But I wonder where to hold the arbitration?Y: Is it agreeable to you to adopt our usual practice that the arbitration is conducted in China?K: Mr. Yu, we’d better not regulate the location for arbitration and the arbitral organization now. We may discuss to agree upon a temporary arbitral body when needed. As for the place of arbitration, maybe in a third country in order to seek a fair and equitable solution to the problems.Y: Oh, yes, Mr. Kinch. I agree with you. But the clause should be like this: “Any disputes arising from the execution of this contract shall be settled in a friendly way. If no settlement can be reached through consultation and conciliation, the disputes shall be submitted for arbitration by a mutually nominated arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision on the disputes is final and binding.K: That’s fine. Only one thing is not mentioned. How is the cost of the arbitration to be divided?Y: Generally speaking, all the fees for arbitration shall be borne by the losing party.K: I t’s acceptable, Mr. Yu.Task One: Translate the following sentences into English:（1）一般情况下，在未收到我方客户的明确指示时，我们则投保水渍险和战争险。
