Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.

When I was in college, I was a reporter for the school newspaper. My very first article was about a student protest on campus. The students, mostly freshman and sophomores gathered outside the chemistry building. They were calling for the resignation of Professor Keyes, who they claimed was a particularly repressive teacher. He ran his classroom like a dictator and didn't grade fairly. The students were mostly peaceful and they spent all day chanting "Down with Keyes! Down with Keyes!" However, they did have a minor clash with other students who tried to defend Professor Keyes. Nobody was hurt, but it was obvious that both sides were very passionate about their beliefs.

You could say that my college had a very liberal environment. Students were encouraged to think for themselves, assert their rights, and fight for what they believed in. This wasn't the only protest during my college years, either. You certainly couldn't criticize the students for being apathetic; they were always outspoken and involved!

Part III: Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

One of the most famous student protests to ever occur in the United States took place between May 1 and May 4, 1970 at a college campus in the Midwestern state of Ohio. The reason this particular protest is still remembered and famous is because of the unfortunate result of the demonstrations.

On April 30, 1970, US President Richard Nixon announced an escalation of the war in Vietnam with a military invasion of Cambodia, which neighbors Vietnam. At that time, the war was extremely unpopular with the public and many people were frustrated and angered by this new development—especially students. Many people had been encouraged by Nixon's promise two years earlier to end the war, but, in 1970, there was still no end in sight.

On May 1, students at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio protested against the American invasion of Cambodia and were calling for an end to the war. The campus protest was peaceful, but emotions grew throughout the day, and riots soon erupted in the town's streets that night. In response, the governor sent National Guard troops to the Kent State University campus to stop the riots and protests.

Small protests continued over the next two days, and then, on the morning of May 4,

approximately 2,000 students gathered in the center of campus to protest both the war and the presence of soldiers at their school. The soldiers ordered the students to disperse and return to their dorms. When they refused, the soldiers began firing tear gas into the crowd.

During the morning, the situation escalated, along with tensions, emotions, and anger. Shortly after noon, the National Guard soldiers opened fire on the students. The cause of this action remains unclear to this day. However, at the end of the day, four students were killed and nine others were wounded. Some of those students were not even involved in the protest. They were just walking by or watching the protest from a distance.

A. The American invasion of Vietnam.

Part II: Banked Cloze

Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Last summer, Derek completed a research project for his psychology thesis. He was studying child behaviour and wanted to trace bad behavior back to its source. Derek took children of different ages and put them in a(n) mostly empty room; there were only a few toys and a small couch to lie down on.

He then presented them with different stimuli that they might encounter during the day. For example, he would play music at a loud or soft volume; adjust the lighting to be very bright or very dim; or fill the room with different smells, both good and bad. He had a(n) repertoire of several hundred distinct stimuli.

It was interesting to watch the children's behaviour unfold in response to the changing environment. Nearly all children eventually displayed some form of naughty behaviour, but some of them created a serious disturbance in the room and had to be removed.

The reactions were all fascinating, and Derek recorded everything that happened. He is now trying to comprehend the meaning of these results and the implications for child behaviour. Hopefully, his work will help clarify and identify potential sources of misbehaviour. Part III: Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Until very recently, most people assumed that the ability to feel and exhibit emotions was limited to human beings. It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, or grief. It wasn't that the intensity of these emotions was more limited than in humans; the general consensus was that such emotions were literally absent in all other animals.

However, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers are uncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions. In some cases, these emotions are very obvious! Dog owners have known this for a long time. If a dog does something bad and is reprimanded by its owner, it will often hang its head low and exhibit "puppy-dog eyes." The dog knows it has been naughty and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.

Another relatively clear example of animals' emotional behaviour is when they show aggression. In some cases, it doesn't take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves, lions, tigers, birds—nearly every animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of its frustration. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals in the wild waging war and exacting revenge.

Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals' emotional behaviour. For example, some animals grieve over deceased family members, some dream and have nightmares, some display pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many show love. Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon. Based on the biological and scientific evidence, it seems beyond doubt that animals are capable of feeling and showing a wide range of emotions. Human do not have a monopoly on such feelings, and it's time for more people to understand that we're all part of one big emotional family.

41. According to the article, which of the following was a general assumption made throughout much of history?

A. People feel a wide range of emotions.

Part II: Banked Cloze

Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Last summer, I went on vacation to Spain. On only the second day, my wallet was stolen. It was a very scary time, and I was obviously frustrated and angered. At first, I was angry I had lost the cash in my wallet. Then, I realized that the thief now had my credit cards and ID card! With only a little practice, he or she could easily forge my signature and make hundreds of unauthorized purchases.

I immediately called the credit card companies to cancel my cards. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. How could someone commit such fraud? The undoubted deceitfulness in stealing other people's wallets really made me wonder how someone could be completely without ethical standards or morals.

Thankfully, I still had traveler's checks —which are widely accepted in Spain —at my hotel. However, I was no longer in a good mindset to enjoy my vacation. In my opinion, the authorities must attack this problem globally; it's not enough to just focus on pickpockets or identify theft that happens locally. With the Internet, there's no such thing as "local" anymore.

Part III: Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Many people often wonder about the terms "blue-collar crime" and "white-collar crime". What's the difference? Is one worse than the other? Are they committed by different kinds of people? What does crime have to do with the color of your shirt?

First, it is helpful to understand that blue-collar workers are those people employed in jobs that

require manual labor, and white-collar workers perform non-manual labor in an office setting. The terms can be dated back to the 19th century, when industrial workers and manual laborers were required to wear clothing suitable to the difficult work — which was typically a blue work shirt or blue coveralls. In contrast, professional workers in offices generally wore white dress shirts. Today, the primary distinctions between white-collar and blue-collar crime are the social class to which the suspect belongs and the type of crime committed. Blue-collar crimes are committed by individuals from lower social classes (ie, less privileged backgrounds with fewer professional and societal opportunities), and white-collar crimes, conversely, are committed by individuals from higher, more affluent social classes.

The exact nature of the crime is also a defining factor of blue-collar versus white-collar crime. Blue-collar crimes tend to be relatively obvious (eg, vandalism, robbery, and shoplifting) or violent (eg, assault, arson, and murder) crimes that are committed out of desperation. White-collar crimes, however, are "quieter" crimes (eg, bribery, embezzlement, and computer crime) committed by people who have the means and opportunity to exploit professional situations.

It is impossible to say that one type of crime is worse than the other, for both have serious and lasting effects for the victims. Blue-collar crime gets more consistent exposure in the media, so we usually hear more about it on a regular basis. However, even though we might not hear many news stories about white-collar crime, it still occurs every day. The increase in computer crime and rising instances of identify theft are testament to that.

41. Which of the following would make the best title for this article?

A. White-Collar Crime: A Victimless Crime.

B. A History of Blue-Collar and White-Collar Workers.

C. Blue-Collar Crime Versus White-Collar Crime: An Explanation.

D. An Examination into Blue-Collar Crime.

A. Identity theft is an example of blue-collar crime.

D. Incidents of blue-collar crime are decreasing.

A. blue-collar crime is heavily covered by the news media

B. white-collar crime is heavily covered by the news media

C. both types of crime are heavily covered by the news media

D. crime is not heavily covered by the news media

Part II: Banked Cloze

Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.

I've found that I can make a pretty good living as an online journalist. I submit articles to several different websites and I also write regular updates to my own blog. In China alone, that's more than one billion potential readers!

I carry my laptop computer with me wherever I go, just in case something happens and I need to report on it. Many days I just write about minor events, but you never know when something truly momentous will happen. Moreover, when something big does happen, you need to be quick and get the story in first. Other reporters can sometimes be ferocious and try to steal the big stories. If you're too slow, you'll definitely miss out.

For example, I was drinking coffee one morning at a local café when I saw a police chase speed down the street. The reporter in me got curious, so I quickly hopped in my car to follow the police. Was I ever startled to find out that the person the police were chasing was a famous movie star! I was the first person to report the arrest and it really helped my career. Reader feedback on my blog was overwhelmingly positive and I almost doubled the number of people visiting my site!

Part III: Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

One of the most memorable days of James's life began as a bright and beautiful morning. In fact, it was one of the most beautiful days James could ever remember. He went to work as usual in downtown Washington, DC and everything seemed normal. However, during his 9:00 meeting, something strange happened. The world as he knew it changed forever.

Shortly after 9:30, the entire building shook. James and his coworkers all looked around at each other in nervous wonder. Instantly, the sirens began—police cars, ambulances, fire engines. It seemed to be a never-ending parade of emergency vehicles speeding by his building. You see, James works less than a mile from the Pentagon and the day was September 11, 2001.

Once he found out what happened, James left the building and went out to the streets, along with the rest of the city. Thousands of people were walking through the streets in a haze of disbelief and fear. By this point, everyone had also heard about the World Trade Center in New York and there was a rumor of yet another missing airplane that was headed to Washington. James looked right and saw the Capitol Building. He looked left and saw the Washington Monument and the White House. No place seemed safe.

The subway stopped running and automobile traffic was at a total standstill. There was essentially no way out of the city. In addition, it was difficult to get a working cell phone signal since

everyone was trying to make a call at the same time. The bright and beautiful September morning had suddenly and unexpectedly turned into a scene of horror and panic.

James decided that the best thing to do was to walk away from all the famous government buildings and monuments and to find someplace safe to sit and wait. He would eventually find a way home, but he felt the most important thing to do at that moment was to find safety, contact his family, and get more information about what just happened.

Part II: Banked Cloze

Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.

I recently found several of the diaries my great-grandfather kept while he was fighting abroad during the war. He starts out very full of optimism and hope. He believes that they will make a difference and are fighting a truly evil enemy—one who doesn't care at all for fellow human beings.

As the days pass and he comes face to face with the cruelty of war, his tone changes. He was only 17 years old when the war began, so he was completely unprepared for the bloodshed he would see on the battlefield. It was sometimes so bloody that he had terrible nightmares. His diary entries successfully reveal his thoughts, which go from hope to depression in only a few weeks.

My great-grandfather, always respectful of his superiors, wrote a lot about the commander of his squad and the difficult situations he faced every day. For example, during one particularly intense battle, roughly 40 per cent of the soldiers in his squad were killed. My great-grandfather wrote that most soldiers thought it was their fate to die in battle. I'm not sure I could handle that. It seems to me that it's enough to make anyone go insane!

Part III: Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

8, May, 2010

I visited the Auschwitz concentration camp today. I don't know if I have the words to describe it, but I'll try. The modern camp site is really just a collection of barracks that have been slightly reconfigured to present the history of the camp. Each building focused on a separate theme, such as "Everyday Life of the Prisoner," "Living and Sanitary Conditions," and "Extermination."

Certain barracks also had themed exhibits for individual countries that had a significant number of citizens sent to the concentration camp.

In addition to these museum-style exhibits, Auschwitz also has the very famous entrance gate which has been included in many films, documentaries, and books. However, on the whole, Auschwitz seemed to be nothing more than a very powerful museum about the Holocaust. Birkenau, on the other hand, was more powerful and horrifying than I had imagined it would be.

I walked three kilometers between the camps and soon arrived at the famous "Death's Gate" entrance with the railway tracks leading through. What struck me immediately about the camp was its size. It's monstrously huge! For me, the most disturbing aspect of the camp is that visitors are allowed to wander around the grounds freely. Nothing is off limits.

I must say, it felt wrong to be walking around the scenes of so much pain, bloodshed, and cruelty. Still, there were many tourists doing just that. In the farthest reaches of the camp—the places most distant from the entrance—it felt almost scary in its silence, emptiness, and loneliness. Surrounded by the relative tranquillity of the modern world, it is hard to believe that this place was the scene of so much evil.

Places like Auschwitz and Birkenau are constant reminders of the inhumanity people are capable of. However, they're also a helpful reminder that life goes on—and so must we—yet our continuing lives must always include memory.

41. This passage is best described as _______.

A. narrative fiction

B. editorial nonfiction

C. first-person history

D. personal memoir

42. According to the passage, the author found his visit to the concentration camps _______.

A. fun and lighthearted

B. sad and depressing

C. emotional and enlightening

D. boring and unremarkable

43. Which of the following quotes best represents the author's final thought?

A. Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.

B. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

C. Only the dead have seen the end of war.

D. Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.

44. With which of these statements would the author of this passage probably agree?

A. Important historical sites should be preserved as museums for future generations.

B. Historical sites related to wars should be destroyed because they are depressing.

C. It is unimportant to remember terrible things that happened in the past.

D. Tourism to historical sites tends to erode that place's integrity.

45. Which paragraph describes the author's emotions and those evoked by the concentration camp?

A. Paragraph 1.

B. Paragraph 2.

C. Paragraph 3.

D. Paragraph 4.

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts." Many families have taught t heir children to place litter in the trash can in response to this catchy phrase, which has affected g enerations as each succeeding generation has taught their children not to litter. 4.Nature imposes difficult conditions upon the earth from time to time . The tornado and fo rest fire destroy natural resources ,homes and other structures ,and very often harm or kill peopl e . Technological tragedies happen with little or no warning as we see trains crash and airplanes f all from the sky shortly after take-off. As tragic as calamities are , they seem to bring out the best in human nature . people trained in em ergency care arrive at the scene and begin assisting the inj ured .Others come with equipment to remove debris. Men , women ,and young people willingly c ome to the scene of an accident , hoping to be of help in some way . These selfless acts of kindne ss make our world a better place . compassion eases the wounds of calamities. American Airlines flight number 587 crashed less than three minutes after taking off from JF K Airport in New York in November,2001. Witnesses s aw an engine fire develop on the plane’s nu mber one engine located under the left wing of the aircraft .seconds later ,the airliner crashed int o eight homes ,completely destroying four of them .All 260 people aboard the airplane were kille d along with six people at the crash site ,leaving many people to mourn the loss of their loved on es .the residents (people who live in the area of the crash ) rallied together to comfort those griev ing, while others removed bodies from the wreckage and did the necessary clean-up. 工程实施困难的条件下在地上的时候。龙卷风和森林火灾破坏自然资源,房屋和其他建筑物,和经常伤害或杀死人。技术的悲剧发生在很少或没有预警,因为我们看到火车事故,飞机起飞后不久就从天空坠落。一样悲惨的灾难,他们似乎显示出人性中最好的。在急诊受训的人到达现场并开始帮助受伤的人则跟设备清除残骸。男人,女人,和年轻人自愿来到事故现场,希望能有帮助。这些无私的善举让我们的世界变得更美好。同情减轻灾害的伤口。 美国航空公司587号航班坠毁不到三分钟后从纽约肯尼迪机场起飞,11月2001。目击者看到一个引擎火灾发展在飞机上的1号引擎位于下飞机的左翼,接着后,客机坠毁八家,完全摧毁了四个260名乘客的飞机遇难连同6人在事故现场,造成许多人悼念失去的亲人,居民(住在崩溃的面积)聚集在一起,安慰那些悲伤,而另一些人则从残骸,并把尸体移走必要的清理。 5.Success can be reached in different ways by people in different careers. Bill Gates began at age to program computers,His vision for personal computing has been central to the success of M icrosoft Corporation, the company he founded with his childhood friend in 1975 . The former CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch, is a business legend. A famous quote by Mr. Welch is,” Chang before you have to. ”He believes in leading by example and encourages his empl oyees to do their best every day. Michael Jordan s aid,”I accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.” He is one of the best athl etes to ever play team sports. His great smile, athletic achievements, and pleasant personality ha ve made him one of the most famous athletes in the world. Michael Jordan spent a lot of time pla ying basketball as a child but in senior middle school he was taken off the team . Instead of giving up , he worked through adversity and became the greatest basketball player yet .

One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later. However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon). But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?

BOOK2课文译文 UNIT1 TextA 中国式的学习风格 1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店堂。 我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。 本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。本杰明一点也不在意。他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。 我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙箱槽口鼓捣。他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。他们会轻轻握牢本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。 我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。 两种不同的学习方式

我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是走近槽口的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢？他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。为什么不教他怎么做呢？他会高兴，他还能早些学会做这件事，进而去学做更复杂的事，如开门，或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以（也应该）示范给他看。 我俩颇为同情地听着这一番道理，解释道，首先，我们并不在意本杰明能不能把钥匙塞进钥匙的槽口。他玩得开心，而且在探索，这两点才是我们真正看重的。但关键在于，在这个过程中，我们试图让本杰明懂得，一个人是能够很好地自行解决问题的。这种自力更生的精神是美国中产阶级最重要的一条育儿观。如果我们向孩子演示该如何做某件事——把钥匙塞进钥匙槽口也好，画只鸡或是弥补某种错误行为也好——那他就不太可能自行想方设法去完成这件事。从更广泛的意义上说，他就不太可能——如美国人那样——将人生视为一系列 的情境，在这些情境中，一个人必须学会独立思考，学会独立解决问题，进而学会发现需要创造性地加以解决的新问题。 把着手教 回想起来，当时我就清楚地意识到，这件事正是体现了问题的关键之所在——而且不仅仅是一种意义上的关键之所在。这件事表明了我们两国在教育和艺术实践上的重要差异。 那些善意的中国旁观者前来帮助本杰明时，他们不是简单地像我可能会做的那样笨拙地或是犹犹豫豫地把他的手往下推。相反，他们极其熟练地、轻轻地把他引向所要到达的确切方向。 我逐渐认识到，这些中国人不是简单地以一种陈旧的方式塑造、引导本杰明的行为：他们是在恪守中国传统，把着手教，教得本杰明自己会愉快地要求再来一次。

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。

Globalization is sweeping aside national borders and changing relations between nations. What impact does this have on national identities and loyalties? Are they strengthened or weakened? The author investigates. 全球化正在扫除国界、改变国与国之间的关系。这对国家的认同和对国家的忠诚会带来什么影响呢？它们会得到加强还是削弱？作者对这些问题进行了探讨。 In Search of Davos ManPeter Gumbel 1. William Browder was born in Princeton, New Jersey, grew up in Chicago, and studied at Stanford University in California. But don't call him an American. For the past 16 of his 40 years he has lived outside the ., first in London and then, from 1996, in Moscow, where he runs his own investment firm. Browder now manages $ billion in assets. In 1998 he gave up his American passport to become a British citizen, since his life is now centered in Europe. "National identity makes no difference for me," he says. "I feel completely international. If you have four good friends and you like what you are doing, it doesn't matter where you are. That's globalization." 寻找达沃斯人 彼得·甘贝尔 威廉·布劳德出生于新泽西州的普林斯顿，在芝加哥长大，就读于加利福尼亚州的斯坦福大学。但别叫他美国人。他今年40岁，过去16年来一直生活在美国以外的地方，先是在伦敦，1996年后在莫斯科经营他自己的投资公司。布劳德如今掌管着价值16亿美元的资产。1998年，他放弃美国护照，成为英国公民，因为他现在的生活中心在欧洲。“国家认同对我来说不重要，”他说，“我觉得自己完全是个国际人。如果你有四个朋友，又喜欢你所做的事情，那么你在哪儿无关紧要。这就是全球化。” 2. Alex Mandl is also a fervent believer in globalization, but he views himself very differently. A former president of AT&T, Mandl, 61, was born in Austria and now runs a French technology company, which is doing more and more business in China. He reckons he spends about 90% of his time traveling on business. But despite all that globetrotting, Mandl who has been a . citizen for 45 years still identifies himself as an American. "I see myself as American without any hesitation. The fact that I spend a lot of time in other places doesn't change that," he says. 亚历克斯·曼德尔也是全球化的狂热信徒，但他对自己的看法与布劳德不同。61岁的曼德尔曾任美国电报电话公司总裁。他出生于奥地利，现在经营着一家法国技术公司，该公司在中国的业务与日俱增。他估计自己几乎90%的时间都花在出差上。然而，尽管曼德尔全球到处跑，已经做了45年美国公民的他还是认为自己是个美国人。“我毫不迟疑地把自己当作美国人。我在其他地方度过很多时间，但是这一事实不能改变我是美国人，”他说。 3. Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and
