U.S. Army Can Advance Mission Success by Greening

Operations

SANTA MONICA, California, September 26, 2008 (ENS)- The

U.S. Army has become increasingly involved with environmental issues in every operationand must be better prepared to deal with them, according to a new RAND Corporation study released this week.

The research showed that environmental concerns can have

far-reaching and significant impacts on the Army, both direct and indirect, especially in terms of cost, current operations, soldier health, diplomatic relations, reconstruction activities, and the ultimate success of the operation or the broader mission.

2.Warming-up Questions

◆War will bring about great disasters towards human being.

5. Detailed Reading -- Understanding Sentences

5.1 By better managing environmental issues during deployments, Army can boost mission success if commanders give environmental concerns high priority during planning

U.S. Army units can gain tactical and strategic advantages that will help in combat and post-conflict operations, and boost overall mission success, according to a RAND Corporation study issued today. (Para 1)

Comments : "By better managing..." is present participle which is used as the adverbial modifier. "that..." is attributive clause. "will help..."and "boost" are the predicates.

5.2 The study finds that commanders have not usually given environmental concerns high priority during planning, despite the effect environmental conditions can have on troop health, safety and security, and the importance they have for the local

population.(Para1)

Comments : "find" introduces an object clause, "environmental conditions can have on troop health, safety and security" is attributive clause and it modifies "the effect", "they have for the local population" is another attributive clause and it modifies "the importance".

5.3 Environmental considerations encompass anything related to the environment that affects the planning and execution of military operations or is affected by those operations. (Para 5)

Comments : Pay attention to the use of the past participle phrase "related to the environment" and the attributive clause "that", "related to the environment" is used as post-modification to modify

"anything".

5.4 Environmental conditions can also extend beyond national borders because air and water pollution may travel great distances, affecting diplomatic relations with countries that could be crucial to the mission's success. (Para 16)

Comments : Pay attention to the use of the present participle "affecting" and the attributive clause "that".

Lesson 20 East Versus West 东西方观念和思维的差异 classmates chime in. 同学插话。 That kind of collectivism confirms the commonly held belief that learning by organic induction is more effective than rote memorization. 这种集体主义证实了有机归纳学习比死记硬背更有效的普遍信念。 Why do you find, in a music conservatory, a lot of Asian would-be concert pianists but comparatively few Asian opera-singers-in-training? 为什么在音乐学院会有很多想成为钢琴家的亚洲人，而受训的亚洲歌剧演员却相对较少? There's a physical limit to how many hours a day a person can sing, Nisbett says, but not to how many hours one can practice sonatas. 尼斯贝特说，一个人每天唱歌的时间有生理上的限制，但练习奏鸣曲的时间没有生理上的限制。 He attributes these differences to history. 他将这些差异归因于历史。 East Asian agriculture was a communal venture in which tasks like irrigation and crop rotation had citizens acting in concert. 东亚农业是一种公共事业，其中灌溉和作物轮作等任务需要公民协同行动。 In contrast, Western food production led to more lone-operator farmers and herdsmen. 相比之下，西方食品生产导致了更多的孤独的农民和牧民。 Greek democratic philosophy emphasized the individual; the Reformation stressed a personal connection to God; the Industrial Revolution made heroes of entrepreneurs. 希腊民主哲学强调个人;宗教改革强调个人与上帝的联系;工业革命造就了企业家的英雄。 But in Asia, Confucius said virtue hinged upon appropriate behavior for specific relationships, say, among siblings, neighbors or colleagues. 但在亚洲，孔子说，美德取决于对特定关系的恰当行为，比如在兄弟姐妹、邻居或同事之间。 These tidy generalizations are not without critics. 这些整齐的概括并非没有批评。 A San Francisco State University professor who edits the Journal of Cross-Culture Psychology'', David Matsumoto, holds that while Nisbett attaches his observations to fascinating raw data, he takes some conclusions too far. 旧金山州立大学(San Francisco State University)教授、《跨文化心理学杂志》(Journal of Cross-Culture Psychology)主编大卫?松本(David Matsumoto)认为，尼斯贝特将自己的观察结果与引人入胜的原始数据结合起来，但他的一些结论有些过头了。 "In cross-cultural work researchers are too quick to come up with some deep, dark, mysterious interpretation of a difference with no data to support it," Matsumoto says. "It's difficult to draw one conclusion [from] a snippet of behavior, and that's what this work tends to do." 松本说:“在跨文化研究中，研究人员在没有数据支持的情况下，总是急于对差异

【Lesson 1 Good News about Racial Progress The remaining divisions in American society should not blind us to a half-century of dramatic change By Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom In the Perrywood community of Upper Marlboro, Md.1, near Washington, D.C., homes cost between $160,000 and $400,000. The lawns are green and the amenities appealing—including a basketball court. Low-income teen-agers from Washington started coming there. The teens were black, and they were not welcomed. The homeowners? association hired off-duty police as security, and they would ask the ballplayers whether they “belonged” in the area. The association? s newsletter noted the “eyesore” at the basketball court. But the story has a surprising twist: many of the homeowners were black t oo. “We started having problems with the young men, and unfortunately they are our people,” one resident told a re porter from the Washington Post. “But what can you do?” The homeowners didn?t care about the race of the basketball players. They were outsiders—in truders. As another resident remarked, “People who don?t live here might not care about things the way we do. Seeing all the new houses going up, someone might be tempted.” It?s a t elling story. Lots of Americans think that almost all blacks live in inner cities. Not true. Today many blacks own homes in suburban neighborhoods—not just around Washington, but outside Atlanta, Denver and other cities as well. That?s not the only common misconception Americans have ab out race. For some of the misinformation, the media are to blame. A reporter in The Wall Street Journal, for instance, writes that the economic gap between whites and blacks has widened. He offers no evidence. The picture drawn of racial relations is even bleaker. In one poll, for instance, 85 percent of blacks, but only 34 percent of whites, agreed with the verdict in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. That racially divided response made headline news. Blacks and whites, media accounts would have us believe, are still separate and hostile. Division is a constant theme, racism another. To be sure, racism has not disappeared, and race relations could —and probably will —improve. But the serious inequality that remains is less a function of racism than of the racial gap in levels of educational attainment, single parenthood and crime. The bad news has been exaggerated, and the good news neglected. Consider these three trends: A black middle class has arrived. Andrew Young recalls the day he was mistaken for a valet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. It was an infuriating case of mistaken identity for a man who was then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. But it wasn?t so long ago that most blacks were servants—or their equivalent.

Governmentsgenerally like regulation (because it appears to be cost-free), economists likecarbon prices (because they are efficient) and businesses like subsidies (becausethey get the handouts). Regulation can be useful where the market is not working well.

经贸专业英语报刊阅读教程 第二课 Global Economic Forum to Expand Permanently

Global Economic Forum to Expand Permanently By EDMUND L. ANDREWS Published: September 24, 2009 PITTSBURGH —President Obama will announce Friday that the once elite club of rich industrial nations known as the Group of 7 will be permanently replaced as a global forum for economic policy by the much broader Group of 20 that includes China, Brazil, India and other fast-growing developing countries, administration officials said Thursday. The move highlights the growing economic importance of Asia and some Latin American countries, particularly since the United States and many European countries have found their banking systems crippled by an economic crisis originating in excesses in the American mortgage market. For more than three decades, the main economic group was the Group of 7 — the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. During the Clinton years, Russia was gradually added, not because of the size of its economy, but to help integrate it with the West. Administration officials said the group would still meet twice a year to discuss security issues. But for practical purposes, the smaller group will become more like a dinner club that defers to the broader group on the economic issues that have dominated summit meetings for nearly three decades. The development, as Mr. Obama was hosting a summit meeting here for leaders of the Group of 20 — 19 countries and the European Union—also highlighted the lingering disparity between the elite group of mostly Western powers and the mass of poorer nations. For al l of Mr. Obama’s talk about greater inclusiveness for countries like Brazil and China, the meeting in Pittsburgh remains dominated by the financial crisis that began in the United States and has preoccupied the old boys’ club.

Unit5passage1 But are today's economic times actually worse?One way to measure that is the misery index.That was a gauge of economic trouble developed in the late1970s and 1980s that was supposed to be a more accurate measure of how bad the economy was for the average Joe.The misery index combines the inflation rate with the unemployment rate to come.And indeed those twin fears of joblessness and souring food and gas prices are what seems to be sapping confidence in the economy these days as well. So how does the economy measure up to the1970s based on the misery index. Actually pretty well.The misery index hit19.3at the end of1974,the year I was born. In1980,the index https://www.sodocs.net/doc/e43730704.html,pare that to now and the economy looks positively rosy.Today the misery index would stand at11.Good times,right.Maybe not. But while the misery index may have been a good gauge of economic health in the1970s,it isn't the best measure of economic health at all times and misses the point today.One example,deflation is one of the worse things that can happen to the economy.Wages and income and asset values tumble,while debts stay the same. Bankruptcies galore.Yet,by the misery index,deflation would be a good thing, bringing the index down.And too little inflation,and the fear of deflation,has been one of the things that Bernanke has worried about. That's why Kathleen Madigan,over at the Wall Street Journal,has devised a new misery index that may do a better job of actually comparing today's economic times to back then.While inflation is low,many think it will soon rise,and that along housing prices and the lack of jobs could be what is holding back the economy.So Madigan's new misery index looks at the one year change in the jobless rate,gas prices and home prices.Based on those calculations,Madigan's new misery index scores in at20, up from8.3a year ago.She also finds that Phoenix is not the most miserable place, economy-wise,in the nation to live. So how does our current economic times measure up to the1970s?The earliest I could find for gas price data was1979.At the end of that year,the new misery index would actually stand at-8.So a rating of positively groovy.That's mostly due to the fact that housing prices rose12that year.The reading for1980would be13.2%.So now we are talking some economic pain.But still that's significantly less than Madigan's misery index reads now.So I guess it's time for me to recalibrate what I think the worst of economic times are.And I thought it was just the music that was better back then.

Lesson 19 It's a Glad, Sad, Mad World 主观幸福感 Where you live, as much a show you live, is a key influence on the feel-good factor 你住在哪里，就像你在现场表演一样，是影响你感觉良好的关键因素 By Walter Kirn It's almost impossible for most people in well-off countries to begin to understand how it feels to live in the extreme poverty of Calcutta, surviving in India's third largest city in a shack, or on the street with little access to clean water,food or health care. 对于生活在富裕国家的大多数人来说，他们几乎不可能开始理解生活在印度第三大城市加尔各答的极度贫困中是什么感觉，在一个简陋的棚子里生存，或者在没有干净的水、食物或医疗保健的街道上生存。 The filth. The crowds. The disease. 污秽、人群、疾病。 From the perspective of the comfortably housed and amply fed, these conditions sound hopeless, and the suffering they must breed seems unimaginable. 从那些住得舒舒服服、吃得饱的人的角度来看，这些条件听起来让人绝望，它们所带来的痛苦似乎难以想象。 But not as unimaginable as this: according to a researcher who employs a method of ranking human happiness on a scale of 1 to 7, poor Calcuttans score about a 4, meaning they' reslightly more happy than not. 但没有这么不可思议:根据一位研究人员使用一种方法给人类幸福打分，分值从1到7，贫穷的Calcuttans给出的了4分，表示他们的幸福程度稍微高一些。 And that's certainly happier than one might expect. The assumption behind this finding, of course, is that happiness, like Olympic figure skating, can really be scored numerically at all and that the judges who score it don't even need to come from the same countries or speak the same languages as the people they' re judging. 这当然比人们预期的要快乐。当然，这一发现背后的假设是，快乐，就像奥运会花样滑冰一样，真的可以用数字来打分，给它打分的裁判甚至不需要来自相同的国家或说相同的语言。 Robert Biswas-Diener, has worked extensively with his father, the noted University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener, to evaluate what they term the Subjective Well-Being(SWB) of people around the globe, from Masai warriors in East Africa to Inughuit hunters in Northern Greenland, inviting them to answer questions about their moods and outlook. 罗伯特?比斯瓦斯-迪纳为他的父亲做了大量的工作,指出伊利诺斯州大学的心理学家Ed Diener,评估他们的术语主观幸福感(主客观)世界各地的人们,从东非的马赛勇士极地因纽特人猎人在格陵兰岛北部,邀请他们来回答关于他们的心情和前景问题。 The results have led them to one sweeping conclusion: human beings, no matter where they live, and almost without regard to how they live, are, in the elder Diener’s words,"preset to be happy." 结果让他们得出了一个笼统的结论:人类，无论他们住在哪里，也几乎不管他们如何生活，用老迪纳的话来说，都是“预设的幸福”。

美英报刊阅读教程Lesson 38 课文

Lesson 38-Tough Terrain Ahead on Road Map Israeli settlement issue is one among many details to be resolved By Barbara Slavin With his meeting Wednesday with the Palestinian and Israeli prime ministers, President Bush put his personal prestige behind the first real US attempt2 to mediate a Middle East peace agreement in three years. But beyond the photo opportunity of smiling men shaking hands and the upbeat statement they released, real progress will depend on fulfilling a tradeoff first set forth by the United Nations Security Council 36 years ago: Israeli withdrawal from much of the West Bank and Gaza3 in return for Palestinians ending attacks on Israelis. Disputes about the extent of this tradeoff remain intense and were reflected in statements is sued on the windy shore at Aqaba4, Jordan. Bush praised Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon? s pledges to permit creation of an eventual Palestinian state. Sharon said he understood “the importance of territorial contiguity in the West Bank for a viable P alestinian state5” and promised to begin removing “unauthorized outposts6” set up by Israeli settlers in the West Bank since he took office two years ago. But Israel Radio reported that all but 10 of 102 outposts are in various stages of becoming “legal”. Skeptical of success Palestinians, Israelis and others question whether Sharon, the historic architect of a policy that has put 200,000 Israelis deep into the West Bank and Gaza and an additional 200,000 in East Jerusalem, will ever agree to the kind of pull-backs Palestinians say are the minimum required to create a viable Palestinian state.7 And as Sharon made eminently clear, Palestinian failure to end attacks on Israelis will immediately jeopardize the entire effort.8 Although Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas pledged to do his utmost to end the armed intifada9, or uprising, that began in September 2000, Palestinian militant groups vowed Wednesday to continue resistance until the end of Israeli “occupation”. Hamas10, responsible for most of the suicide attacks of the past 32 months, said it would not allow itself to be disarmed. Palestinians who have watched US presidents come and go say they appreciate Bush?s new-found interest in their plight but remain extremely skeptical of Israeli intent ions and US resolve.” At Aqaba, says Khalil Shikaki, a prominent Palestinian pollster, Sharon once again refrained from endorsing in full a US-backed road map for peace and instead spoke only of taking “steps” in the plan.12
