Passage One
Sometimes, over a span of many years, a businesswill continue to grow, generating ever-increasing amounts of cash, repurchasingstock , paying increased dividends, reducing debt, opening new stores,expanding production facilities, moving into new markets, etc, while at thesame time its stock price remains stagnant( or even falls). my/KsB  
When this happen, the average andprofessional investors alike tend to overlook the company because they become familiarwith the trading range /ZM xVh0  
Take, for example, Wal-Mart. Over the pastfive years, the retailing behemoth has grown sales by over 80%, profits by over100%, and yet the stock price has fallen as much as 30% during that time frame.Clearly, the valuation picture has changed. An investor that read the annualreport back in 2000 or 2001 might have passed on the security, deeming it tooexpensive based on a metric such as the price to earnings ratio. Today, howeverthe equation is completely is completely different—despite the price, Wal-Martis, in essence, trading at half its former price because each share is backedby a larger dividend, twice the earnings power, more stores, and a biggerinfrastructure. Home Depot is in much the same boat, largely because some WallStreet analysts question how fast two of the world’s largest companies cancontinue to grow before their sheer size slows them down to the rate of thegeneral economy.  B@S~v+Gr  
Coca-Cola is another excellent example ofthis phenomenon. Ten years ago, in 1996, the stock traded between a range of 36.10 and 54.30per share. At the time, it had reported earnings per share of 1.40 and paid a cash dividend of 0.50 per share. Corporate per share bookvalue was 2.48. Last year, the stock tradedwithin a range of 40.30 and 45.30 pr share; squarely in the middle of thesame area it had been nearly a decade prior! Yet, despite the stagnant stockprice, the 2006 estimates Value Line Investment Survey estimates for earningsper share stand around 2.16(arise of 54%), the case dividend has more than doubled to 7.40 per share(a gain of nearly 300%), andthe total number of shares outstanding(未偿付的,未完成的) has actually decreased from 2.481 billion to an estimated 2.355billion due to the company’s share repurchase program. g W_E

Passage Two
On September 7,2001, a 68-year-oldwoman in Strasbourg, France, had her gallbladder(胆囊)removed by surgeons, operating via computer from New York. It was the firstcomplete telesurgery procedureperformed by surgeons nearly 4,000 miles away from their patient. [8q`~S%-]  
       In The York, Marescaux teamed up withsurgeon Michel Gagner to perform the historic long-distance operation. Ahigh-speed fiber-optic service provided by France Telecom made the connectionbetween New York and Strasbourg. The two surgeons controlled the instrumentsusing an advanced robotic surgical system, designed by Computer Motion Inc,that enabled the procedure to be minimally invasive. The patient was releasedfrom the hospital after about 48 hours and regained normal activity thefollowing week. s$,G5Feub  
       The high-speed fiber-optic connectionbetween New York and France made it possible to overcome a key obstacle totelesurgery—time delay. It was crucial that a continuous time delay of lessthan 200 milliseconds be maintained throughout the operation, between thesurgeon’s movements in New York and the return video (from Strasbourg) on hisscreen. The delay problem includes video coding, decoding and signal transmissiontime. FCOa|IKsN  
       France Telecom’s engineers achieved anaverage time delay of 150 milliseconds. “I felt as comfortable operating on mypatient as if I had been in the room,” says Marescaux. (C1~>7L  
       The successful collaboration(合作) among medicine, advanced technology, andtelecommunications is likely to have enormous implications for patient care anddoctor training. Highly skilled surgeons may soon regularly perform especiallydifficult operations through long-distance procedures. The computer systemsused to control surgical movement can also lead to a breakthrough in teachingsurgical technique to a new generation of physicians. More surgeons-in-trainingwill have the opportunity to observe their teachers in action in telesurgeryoperating rooms around the world. `p1B58deC  
       Marescaux describes the success of theremotely performed surgical procedure as the beginning of a “third revolution”in surgery within the last decade. The first was the arrival of minimallyinvasive surgery, enabling procedures to be performed with guidance by acamera, meaning that the abdomen(腹部)案的thorax(胸腔) do not have to be opened. The second wasthe introduction of computer-assisted surgery, where complicated softwarealgorithms(计算法) enhance the safety of thesurgeon’s movement during a procedure, making them more accurate, whileintroducing the concept of distance between the surgeon and the patient. It wasthus natural to imagine that this distance—currently several meters in theoperating room—could potentially be up to several thousand kilometers. xK)<7 63q>

Passage Three
British food has a goodreputation, but English cooking has a bad one. It is difficult to explain thereason for this. Unfortunately, however, superb raw ingredients are often minedfrom the kitchen so that they come to the table without any of the naturalflavor and goodness. ?(Tin80=r  
       This bad reputation discourages a lot ofpeople from eating in an English restaurant. If they do go to one, they areusually full of prejudice against the food. It is a pity, because there areexcellent cooks in England, excellent restaurants, and excellent home-cooking.How, then, has the bad reputation been built up? EAm31v C  
       Perhaps one reason in that Britain’sIndustrial Revolution occurred every early, in the middle of the nineteenthcentury. As a result, the quality of food changed too. This was because Britainstopped being a largely agricultural country. The population of the townsincreased enormously between 1840and 1870, and people could no longer growtheir own food, or buy it flesh from a farm. Huge quantities of food had to betaken to the towns, and a lot of it lost its freshness on the way. ^!i4d))  
       This lack of freshness was disguised by “dressingup” the food. The rich middle classes ate 16ng elaborate meals which werecooked for them by French chefs. French became, and has remained, the officiallanguage of the dining room. Out-of-season delicacies were served in spite oftheir expense, for there were a large number of extremely wealthy people whowanted to establish themselves socially. The “look” of the food was moreimportant than its taste. :;hX$Qz  
       In the 1930s, the supply of servant beganto decrease. People still tried to produce complicated dishes, however, butthey economized on the preparation time. The Second Word War made things evenworse by making raw ingredients extremely scarce. As a result, there were manywomen who never had the opportunity to choose a piece of meat from awell-stocked butcher’s shop, but were content and grateful to accept anythingthat was offered to them. ?azLaAG  
       Food rationing continued in Britain untilthe early 1950s. It was only after this had stopped, and butter, eggs and creambecame more plentiful, and it was possible to travel abroad again and tasteother ways of preparing food, that the English difference to difference toeating became replaced by a new enthusiasm for it. [{#T N  
       1. According to the author, it isdifficult to explain_______. n@h$V\&\iM  
       A. why excellent ingredients are spoiledin the process of cooking K^[m--  
       B. why people do not like English cooking Z%LS{o~LK.

Passage Four
The Commercial Revolution was notconfined, of course, to the growth of trade and banking. Included in it alsowere fundamental changes in methods of production. The system of manufacturedevelopment by the craft guilds in the late Middle Ages was rapidly becoming defunct. The guilds themselves,dominated by the master craftsmen, had grown selfish and exclusive. Membershipin them was commonly restricted to a few privileged families. Besides, theywere so completely choked by tradition that they were unable to makeadjustments to changing conditions. Moreover, new industries had sprung upentirely outside the guild system. Characteristic examples were mining andsmelting and the woolen industry. The rapid development of these enterprises wasstimulated by technical advances, such as the invention of the spinning wheeland the discovery of a new method of making brass, which saved about half ofthe fuel previously used. In the mining and smelting industries a form oforganization was adopted similar to that which has prevailed ever since. @X h8kvc81  
       But the most typical form of industrialproduction in the Commercial Revolution was the domestic system, developedfirst of all in the woolen industry. The domestic system derives its name fromthe fact that the work was done in the homes of industrial artisans instead ofin the shop of a master craftsman. Since the various jobs in the manufacture ofa product were given out on contract. Since the various jobs in the manufactureof a produce were given out on contract, the system is also known as theputting out system. Notwithstanding the petty scale of production, theorganization was basically capitalistic. The raw material was purchased by anentrepreneur and assigned to individual workers, each of whom would completehis allotted task for a stipulated payment. In the case of the woolen industrythe yarn would be given out first of all to the spinners, then to the weavers,fullers, and dyer in succession. When the cloth was finally finished, it wouldde taken by the clothier and sold in the open market for the highest price itwould bring. 7~P!Z=m^^f

Passage Five
In addition to redistributingincomes, inflation may affect the total real income and production of thecommunity. An increase in prices is usually associated with high employment. Inmoderate inflation, industries are operating efficiently and output is nearcapacity. There is a great deal of private investment and jobs are plentiful. Suchhas been the historical pattern. Thus many business persons and union leaders,in evaluating a little deflation and a little inflation, consider the latter tobe the lesser of two evils. In mild inflation, the losses to fixed-incomegroups are usually less than gains to the rest of the community. Even workerwith relatively fixed wages are often better off because of improved employmentopportunities and greater take-home pay, a rise in interest rates on newsecurities may partly compensate for any losses to creditor, and increases inpension benefits may partly make losses to retirees. f_QZ ql   
       In deflation, on the other hand, thegrowing unemployment of labor and capital causes the community’s totalwell-being to be less; so in a sense, the gainers get less than the loserslose. As a matter of fact, in a depression, or a time of severe deflation,almost everyone suffers, including the creditor who is left with uncollectibledebts. #q?:Act  
For these reasons as increase in consumptionof investment spending is considered good in times of unemployment, even ifthis tends to increase prices slightly. When the economic system is sufferingfrom severe depression, few people will criticize private or public spending onthe ground that this might be inflationary. Actually, most of this increasedspending will increase production and create jobs. Once, full employment andfull plant capacity have been reached, however, any further increases inspending are likely to be completely wasted in prices increase. 2&F  H8

Passage Six  
I myself first saw Samarkand from a riseacross a wilderness of crumbling ruins and great graveyard which lie between itand airport. Suddenly we caught a glimpse of painted towers and the great bluedomes of mosques and tombs shouldering the full weight of the sky among brightgreen trees and gardens. Beyond the gardens and the glittering domes still werethose watchful mountains and their evocative snow. I found myself thinking ofthe thrill I had on catching my first sight of Damascus after crossing thedesert from Syria. The light, the orchards and many of the trees were the samebut deeper still was the sense of coming into contact with one of the mostastonishing cultures in history, the world of the one and only Allah and hisprophet Muhammad. It was a world that completely overawed me. UL\gcZ Zkl  
Yet the memory of Samarkand which stays withme most clearly is quite a humble one. Coming back to the city from the countryon my last evening we passed some unusual elm trees and I stopped to have alook at them. They were, my guide told me, perhaps a thousand years old, oldercertainly than Genghis Khan. A flock of fat-tailed sheep(the same kind of sheepthat my own ancestors saw a Hottentot keeping when they landed at the Cape ofGood Hope 321 years ago), tended by some Tadshik children, moved slowly home inthe distance. Then from the city came quite clearly the call to prayer frommosque and minaret. I had not expected any calls at all and it made nodifference that some of the calls came over loud-speakers. Then beyond thetrees an old man appeared on a donkey, dismounted, spread a prayer mat on theground, and kneeling towards Mecca, he began to pray. Ezw<  
From Samarkand I journeyed on to Bokharawhich was once the holiest city in Central Asia. At one time it possessed overa hundred religious colleges and close to four hundred mosques. It drewadventurers of all races towards it as it did Marco Polo. Not many of themreached their destination. These days at what used to be one of the richestmarket places in the world, one buys ice-cream instead of slaves; watches andmass-produced trinkets and fizzy drinks instead of gold ,silks and turquoisejewellery. Few of the four hundred mosques remain and most have vanishedwithout even leaving a trace. hk+"c^g:j<

Translate the following passage into Chinese: DTIy/  
I was afraid. The truth is, I was afraid the day I walked intoStanford. And I was afraid the day I walked out. I was scared of leaving theprotective bubble of this place for places unknown, during uncertain economictimes. And I was scared of squandering the incredible gift of my Stanford experienceon pursuits that weren't commensurate with expectations I, and others, had ofme. I was scared of not doing it all, of making irrevocable mistakes. G>_ZUHd I  
If you're scared today, let me ask you this: What will you do withyour fear? Will you let it become a motivator, or an inhibitor? You are theonly one who can answer that. But what I can offer as guidance, andreassurance, is a story: the story of one Stanford grad's process of stumblingand searching to find a place in the world, often times in the face of herfears. rbtPG=t_R

我们到处都能看到“抢眼”的青年艺术家。他们要么一年四季穿着破旧的牛仔裤;要么大冬天也打赤脚;要么饮酒过度;要么就是抱着创作一部杰作的幻想,实际上并不做任何创作的事。其实,他们中的很多人只不过是为了看上去像名艺术家,或为了同其他艺术家“保持一致”才这么做的。他们忘了,只有通过不懈的努力才能获得成功。 4t8 Hy
