 01 The Language of Music t*qA.xc6  
A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see Mxd fuFss  
it. A composer writes a work, but no    one can hear it until it is performed. Y43#];  
Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the    0H>Fyl2_  
composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and ~JZ Lfw  
as arduous a training to become a    performer as a medical student needs to VBH[aIW  
become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for Ro<!n>H  
musicians    have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet 19N:9;Ixz  
dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as    their vocal chords would &)X<yd0  
be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice `S~u4+y]  
moving the    fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to M`>W'<  
and fro with the right arm -- two entirely different movements. <oXsn.'\  
Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in :jUuw:\  
tune. Pianists are spared this    particular anxiety, for the notes are gMGg9U$@  
already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner's responsibility    I"!gzI`Sd  
to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the )_Oc=/c|f  
hammers that hit the strings have to be   coaxed not to sound Dq?2mXOqD  
like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear. qXhrK /  
This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student CYn}wkz  
conductors: they have to learn to know every    note of the music and how it 0sUc6_>e  
should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with ib&qH_r/  
fanatical but    selfless authority. sY6'y'a95  
Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge b>7ts_b  
and understanding. Great artists are those who    are so thoroughly at home in V8sY7QK=  
the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any W" !amMQ  
century. i4p JIb

>02 Schooling and Education UBVb#FNF  
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people #~+#72+x7  
go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today oB\Xl)A<  
children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction 3XnXQ/({  
between schooling and    education implied by this remark is important. &rl>{Uvq  
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. nX~MoWH1  
Education knows no bounds. It can take place    anywhere, whether in the 5);#\&B  
shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes )^\='(s  
both the formal    learning that takes place in schools and the whole 6.|~~/  
universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a 8w&rj-  
revered grandparent to the g5Dx9d{  
^kr)U8  
people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished dM UDLr-  
scientist. 4l''/$P  
Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often >, E$bm2  
produces surprises. A chance conversation    with a stranger may lead a person k&/ )g3(N(  
to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in    >bN~p  
education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive a<wZv-\Vau  
term. It is a lifelong process, a process    that starts long before the start U!/nD~A  
of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life. 'pY;]^M  
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose Qu,k  
general pattern varies little   from   one    setting to the next. _vdxxhJ=P3  
Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately ~(j'a!#Vvk  
the same time, take assigned    seats, are taught by an adult, use similar DOVX$N$3  
textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality    that el?V2v[  
are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the &a_kJ)J  
workings of government, have    usually been limited by the boundaries of the 9.zQ<k 2  
subject being taught. For example, high school students know that    they are &H&P)Px*_  
not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems r ` &|) Hx  
in their communities or what    the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. ?=!XhU .  
There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of    5TneuGD  
schooling. y,?G75wij  
上学与受教育 }t2pIkF;  
在美国,人们通常认为上学是为了受教育。 而现在却有人认为孩子们上学打断了他们 受教育的过程。 这种观念中的上学与受教育之间的区别非常重要。 J7ekIQgR  
与上学相比,教育更具 开放性,内容更广泛。 教育不受任何限制。 它可以在任何场合下进行,在淋浴时,在工作 时,在厨房里或拖拉机上。
fq'Xy9L  
它既包括在学校所受的正规教育,也包括一切非正规教育。 传 授知识的人可以是德高望重的老者,可以是收音机里进行政治辩论的人们,可以是小孩子,
ZQ9oZHUm  
也可以是知名的科学家。 上学读书多少有点可预见性,而教育往往能带来意外的发现。 与 陌生人的一次随意谈话可能会使人认识到自己对其它宗教其实所知甚少。
O^Vy"8Ji}y  
人们从幼时起就 开始受教育。 因此,教育是一个内涵很丰富的词,它自始至终伴随人的一生,早在人们上 学之前就开始了。
W)!{U(X  
教育应成为人生命中不可缺少的一部分。然而,上学却是一个特定的形 式化了的过程。 在不同场合下,它的基本形式大同小异。 在全国各地,孩子们几乎在同一
NWHH.1|  
时刻到达学校,坐在指定的座位上,由一位成年人传授知识,使用大致相同的教材,做作业, 考试等等。
X$ B]P 7G7  
他们所学的现实生活中的一些片断,如字母表或政府的运作,往往受到科目范 围的限制。
\678Nx  
例如,高中生们知道,在课堂上他们没法弄清楚他们社区里政治问题的真情, 也不会了解到最新潮的电影制片人在做哪些尝试。
wUCDJY:,1  
学校教育这一形式化的过程是有特定的 限制的。

>03 The Definition of "Price" pOVghllO  
Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by y8hg8J|  
which products and services that are in    limited supply are rationed among >3`ct be  
buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex network composed gQh Ccv  
of    the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as 2Z`$  
well as those of a myriad of services, including   labor, R;E"Qdt  
professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The 03QEXm~|Q  
interrelationships of all these prices make    up the {?f^  
"system" of prices. The price of any particular product or service is TFC!u 0Y"$  
linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems ;WS7.  
to depend more or less upon everything else.    If one were to ask a group ]EM)_:tRf  
of randomly selected individuals to define "price", many would reply that L.0} UXd  
price is an    amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or c_G-R+  
service or,    in other words, that price is the    money value of a +/3 Z  
product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This ui56<gI-  
definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete Wl !!5\  
understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than *)NR$9lGv  
the amount    of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller G{f`K^  
should be familiar with not only the money amount,    but with the amount and qsft*&  
quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at I^M#[xA  
which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of }+dM1O  
money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply    to the /h7>Z9T  
transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return !k:zLjtp  
privileges, and other factors. In    other words, both buyer and seller should V|3yZ8lE  
be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package"    being =MJ-s;raq  
exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may v#:+n+y\z  
evaluate a given price. #0?"J)  
"
价格"的定义 价格决定资源的使用方式。 价格也是有限的产品与服务在买方中的配给手段。 +(z_"[l"  
美国的价格系统是复杂的网状系统,包括经济生活中一切产品买卖的价格,也包括 名目繁多的各种服务,诸如劳动力、专职人员、交通运输、公共事业等服务的价格。
. QQ?w  
所有 这些价格的内在联系构成了价格系统。 任何一种个别产品或服务的价格都与这个庞大而复
#}/cM2m  
杂的系统密切相关,而且或多或少地受到系统中其它成份的制约。如果随机挑选一群人,问
~jp!"f  
问他们如何定义"价格",许多人会回答价格就是根据卖方提供的产品或服务,买方向其付出的钱数。
s<Ex"+  
换句话说,价格就是市场交易中大家认同的产品或服务的货币量。 该定义就其本 身来说自有其道理。
I 9{40_  
但要获得对价格在任何一桩交易中的完整认识,就必须考虑到大量" 非货币"因素的影响。 买卖双方不但要清楚交易中的钱数,而且要非常熟悉交易物的质量和
 ko=aa5c  
数量,交易的时间、地点,采用哪种形式付款,有怎样的缓付和优惠,对交易物的质量保证、 交货条款、退赔权利等等。
;}n9y ci#  
也就是说,为了能估算索价,买卖双方必须通晓构成交易物价 格的通盘细节。

>04 Electricity XlPK3^'N)h  
The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric er[" NSo  
lights, radio, televisions, and telephones    that it is hard to imagine what 1P[I}GW#  
life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people ZL4l (&"  
grope about    in flickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because g[#k.CuP  
there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent U{T[*s  
refrigerators. ( oQ'4,F  
}mKGuCoH>  
Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more +={  
than two centuries vF9*tK'   
ago. Nature has    apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of Ne &Xf  
years. Scientists are discovering more and more that    the living world may DC?21[60  
hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity. W<\kf4Y  
All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, Z B~l2  
it sends out pulses of record; they form    an electrocardiogram, which a 'ox0o:  
doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain, e1^fUOS  
too, sends    out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an \ V[;t-  
electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated    by most living OZ(Dpx(Q  
cells are extremely small -- often so small that sensitive instruments are Ef2Y l  
needed to record them.    But in some animals, certain muscle cells have bH'S.RWp=  
become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as W3 De|V^  
muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked M:R8<.{  
together, the effects can be astonishing. -h>Z,-DE6  
The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt of as EfFz7j&X  
much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it }czsa_  
lives. (An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As 9wAA. -"  
many as    four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eel's body are )HEfU31IC  
specialized for generating electricity, and the    strength of the shock it L<bYRGz  
can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body. mfZ)^X  
电 当今时代是电气时代。 人们对电灯、收音机、电视和电话早已司空见惯以致很难想 象没有它们生活会变成什么样。 *R5`.j =  
当停电时,人们在摇曳不定的烛光下暗中摸索; 因没有红 绿灯的指示,汽车在道路上迟疑不前;冰箱也停止工作,导致食物变质。人们只是在两个世

断发现许多生物世界里可能有益于人类的关于电的有趣秘密。所有生物细胞都会发出微小的 电脉冲。

当心脏跳动时,把它发出的脉冲记录下来就成了心电图,这可让医生了解心脏的 工作状况。大脑也发出脑电波,这可在脑电图上记录下来。

许多生物细胞发出的电流都是 极微小的,小到要用灵敏仪器才能记录和测量。 但一些动物的某些肌肉细胞能转化成一个 个发电机,以致完全失去肌肉细胞的功能。
y|^EGnaE  
这种细胞大量地连接在一起时产生的效果将是 非常令人吃惊的。电鳗就是一种令人惊异的蓄电池。 它可以在水中发出相当于 800 伏特电
VLiIO"u;  
压电流(家庭用户的电压只有 120 伏特)。 在电鳗的身体里,多至五分之四的细胞都专门用 来发电,而且发出的电流的强度大约和它身体的长度成正比。 {1jpLdCbV^
