It is complex because when it comes to defining health policies, assigning priorities, allotting funds and planning and operation programs to give effect to the policies, it is not easy for political leaders or technical experts in either the underdeveloped or the developed countries to keep in mind the centrality of human development. There are two conventional ways to view the relation between health and development. One sees health as a prerequisite for development. The other sees health as a concomitant of development. Both views are supported by evidence and both can motivate human development programs. They are not even mutually exclusive; rather they are mutually supportive.

The ultimate goal of economic developments if to improve the wellbeing of people. The building of factories, the terracing of land and the training of engineers are but means towards that end; enhancing the reputation or wealth of political leaders and increasing the prestige or power of nation states are irrelevant. Improving the health of people is fundamental to improving their well-being. This being so, it is important to know what “health” means. Health has long been defined by the 155 member states of the world Health Organization(WHO) as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The ultimate goal of development can therefore be said to be health, in this broad sense, for all the people of the world. It is simple as that—and as complex.

Health is indeed a prerequisite for economic and social advance. Human energy is the fuel that drives development, the source not only of physical work and other economic activity but also of hope for the future, social awareness and the ability to absorb and apply new knowledge, all of which are essential to development. Genuine measures to improve health are likely to contribute to general socioeconomic advance.

If people cannot afford to buy their own house, they can rent property from a private landlord. In city areas the problem has been made worse by the bad condition that a lot of council property is in. High-rise flats, for example, have developed structural faults. Unfortunately, homelessness is an increasingly serious problem all over Britain. It affects all ages: single people, couples with children, even old-age pensioners. In 1984, 83190 households, a term that covers families and single people, were officially listed as homeless. In one year, 170190 households applied to be put on the list, but thousands were turned down although they were probably living in overcrowded conditions or in housing that badly needed repairing and improving.

中石油职称英语课文讲稿1-60第01课 (10)
11.A Handful[n.一把；少数] of History. 扑克-手中的历史.1. The next time you do a card trick（把戏）-remember this. You’re playing with history. The playing cards we use today are much like those used for hundreds of years. The most interesting things are the suits and face cards. A "suit" of a playing card is not a thing to be worn（wear）. It means Hearts, Spades[(spade):n.铲,铁锹], Diamonds[(diamond):n.钻石；金刚石]or Clubs. The figures[(figure):n.数字]are placed on each card with the number or value[n.价值；益处]of the card. The face cards are the Jacks, Queens, Kings, and, of course, the Jokers[(joker):n.爱开玩笑的人].1、当你下一次玩扑克的时候，要记住这些。
你正在与历史进行游戏。
今天我们用的扑克，几乎与数百年前的扑克相差无几。
最有意思的东西是扑克里的“套”和“脸牌”。
扑克中的“套”不是什么可以穿的东西。
它意味着红心、黑桃、红方块、或者梅花。
牌面的数标志着牌的顺序或价值。
带脸的牌是杰克、皇后、国王、当然还有鬼。
分析：next time下次；used 引导的过去分词短语修饰those; hundreds of years 数百年；单词：trick=把戏； figure=数字； value=价值；2. What do you think the suits stand for? Let's take the Hearts first. When you say that an athlete[n.田径运动员]has a lot of heart, what do you mean? You mean that he is brave. So, you see, the King of Hearts is a "brave[adj.勇敢的] king".2、你认为“套”代表什么意思？让我们先看红心。

1. How to be Happy如何获得幸福In the past two weeks we have looked at the happiness formula defined by positive psychologist Martin Seligman, where H (happiness) = S (your biological set point for feeling happy) + C (the conditions of your life) + V (the voluntary choices you make). Next, we'll look at the conditions in life that can improve our happiness quotient.过去两周我们研究了一项幸福公式，这是由乐观心理学家马丁塞利格曼定义的。
H(幸福)=S(个人生理幸福感受的固定指数)+C(个人生活状态)+V(个人主观选择)。
接下来我们将着眼于能提升幸福指数的生活状态。
Step 1: Peace and quiet第一步：平和宁静Jonathon Haidt in his excellent book, 'The Happiness Hypothesis', notes that research shows that we can never completely adapt to new or chronic noise pollution. 乔纳森海迪在他的优秀著作《幸福假说》当中提到，研究调查显示，我们不可能完全适应噪音污染，无论是新近的还是长期的。
Loud noises trigger one of our most primitive fear responses (the other is the fear of falling) and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive noise. 巨大噪声会引起我们某种面对恐惧本能反映(另一种是对于坠落的恐惧)，如果周遭噪音喧闹，我们不可能完全放松。

If this bad mood stays inside our mind, it will lead us to an unresolved destructive depression.5、我们不应当回避这些问题，而是要正确面对它们。
We should not avoid these problems but face them instead.U21、随着大量市民被迫迁到遥远的效外，汽车的需求量正在飞涨。

2011年职称英语理工类考试教材新增文章译文
2011年职称英语理工类考试教材新增文章译文第四部分阅读理解第二篇世界原油产量可能提前十年达到峰值科威特科学家预测世界常规原油产量将在2014年达到峰值，这一发现可能会促进储存石油的努力。
这一预测比其他预测提前了将近十年，已经发表在美国化学学会《能量与燃料》杂志上。
伊布赫姆·纳夏威和同事们指出，全球石油消耗的快速增长使人们对"石油峰值"预测的兴趣越来越浓o"石油峰值"指的是石油产量达到最大值然后开始下降的时间点。
科学家已经构建了几个模型来预测这一时间，有些模型认为这一时间在2020年或更晚。
其中最著名的预测模型之一是赫伯特模型。
赫伯特模型认为世界石油产量呈钟型曲线，与此相关的概念是"石油峰值".这一术语指的是世界石油产量达到峰值的那一刻，之后将呈现无法逆转的下降趋势。
赫伯特模型精确地预测到美国石油产量于l970年达到峰值。
这一模型从此受到欢迎，已经用于预测世界石油生产。
但是，最近研究表明，这一模型不足以解释某些国家更加复杂的石油生产周期。
科学家称，这些生产周期受到技术变化、政策和其他因素的很大影响。
最新研究描述了赫伯特模型的新版本，提供了更加实际、更加准确的石油生产预测。
科学家使用新模型评估了47个主要产油国家的石油生产趋势，这47个国家是世界常规原油的主要提供者。
科学家预计全球常规原油产量将于2014年达到峰值，比之前预计的要早很多年。
科学家还指出，世界石油储量正在以2．1％的速度逐年减少，他们认为新模型会帮助做出与能源相关的决定，帮助进行国家政策辩论。
第六篇编织灯光维克人过着与祖先类似的生活——他们不使用电，因为在他们居住的偏远山区架设电线成本太大。
维克人以制作精美的工艺品为生，他们到几百英里以外的城市去销售工艺品。
因为家里和路上都没有电，他们只能白天工作，天一黑就不得不停下手中的活计。
如今，一个由科学家、设计师和建筑师组成的团队正在利用新技术为维克人在太阳下山之后提供光亮。

55. Why Antarctica[n.南极洲] Is Being Explored.为什么要勘探南极洲、1. When the United States was born, the continent[n.大陆；大洲]of Antarctica[n.南极洲]was as remote[adj.遥远的]as the moon-more so, in a way, because the moon was clearly visible[a.看得见的]and the very existence[n.存在]of Antarctica was uncertain[adj.不确定的]. But now that remote land area is so attainable[adj.可达到的] and so important that it has become the subject of an international treaty[n.条约]which protects it from national rivalries[(rivalry):n.竞争]yet leaves it open to all for exploration and use. The pact[条约]arranging this is even being viewed as a model applicable[a.能应用的]to the moon and other celestial[adj.天体的] bodies.1、在美国诞生之时，对人们来说南极洲就像月球一样遥远-从某种角度说，甚至更远，因为月亮清楚可见，而南极大陆是否真实存在还无法确定。
但是今天，这块遥远的陆地已变得如此触之可及并且如此重要，以致它已受到一个国际公约的保护，使其免于成为国家间竞相抢夺的对象，而是对所有国家开放，供大家共同开发和利用。

1.English is a Crazy Language英语是一门疯狂的语言1.Let's face it-English is a crazy language.There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;neither apple nor pine in pineapple.English muffins weren't invented in England nor French fries in France.Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads,which aren't sweet,are meat.1.让我们接受现实吧--英语是一种疯狂的语言。
茄子（eggplant，字面意为鸡蛋植物）里并没有鸡蛋，汉堡包（hamburger，字面意为火腿夹饼）里也没有火腿。
同样，菠萝（pineapple，字面意为松树苹果）里既没有松鼠也没有苹果。
松饼（English muffin，字面意为英式松饼）并不是英国人发明的，而炸薯条（French fries，字面意为法式油炸食品）也不是法国人的发明。
“甜肉”（sweetmeat）指的是蜜饯，而“甜面包”（sweetbread）不是甜的，它指的是牛杂碎。
2.We take English for granted.But if we explore its paradoxes,we find that quicksand can work slowly,boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.And why it is that writers write but fingers don't fing,grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?If the plural of tooth is teeth,why isn't the plural of booth beeth?If you have one goose,two geese,why not one moose,two meese,or one index,two indices?2.我们理所当然地接受了英语的一切，但是如果我们分析一下英语中似是而非的情况，我们马上就会发现“快的沙子”（quicksand，流沙，也指陷阱，困境）往往走得很慢，“拳击的圆圈”（boxing rings，拳击场）是方的，“几内亚猪”（guinea pig，天竺鼠）既不是来自几内亚，也不是猪。
