加拿大的温哥华1986年刚刚度过百岁生日,但城市的发展令世界瞩目。以港立市,以港兴市,是许多港口城市生存发展的道路。经过百年开发建设,有着天然不冻良港的温哥华,成为举世闻名的港口城市,同亚洲、大洋洲、欧洲、拉丁美洲均有定期班轮,年货物吞吐量达到8000万吨,全市就业人口中有三分之一从事贸易与运输行业。
温哥华(Vancouvcr)的辉煌是温哥华人智慧和勤奋的结晶,其中包括多民族的贡献。加拿大地广人稀,国土面积比中国还大,人口却不足3000万。吸收外来移民,是加拿大长期奉行的国策。可以说,加拿大除了印第安人外,无一不是外来移民,不同的只是时间长短而已。温哥华则更是世界上屈指可数的多民族城市。现今180万温哥华居民中,有一半不是在本地出生的,每4个居民中就有1个是亚洲人。而25万华人对温哥华的经济转型起着决定性的作用。他们其中有一半是近5年才来到温哥华地区的,使温哥华成为亚洲以外最大的中国人聚居地。
第1题
Educational attainment in rural America reached a historic
height in 2000, with nearly one in six rural adults holding a 【M1】______
4-year college degree, and more than three in four complete 【M2】______
high school. As the demand of workers with higher educational 【M3】______
qualifications rises, many rural policymakers
have come to view local educational levels as a critical
determinant of job and income growth in their communities.
But policymakers are facing with two key questions. 【M4】______
First, does a better educated population lead to greater
economic growth? According to a recent study, rural counties
with higher educational levels saw rapid earnings and 【M5】______
income growth over the past two decades than counties with
lower educational levels. However, economic returns to
education for rural areas continue to lag that for urban areas. 【M6】______
Second, are there Ways to improve local educational attainment,
particularly through improvements in elementary and high
schools, It can enhance the economic well-being of rural 【M7】______
residents and communities? In fact, preliminary research
demonstrates a connection between better schools and positive
outcomes in terms of earnings and Income growth for rural
workers and rural communities.
Ultimately, the strength of the tie between education and
economic outcomes is influenced in part by the extent which 【M8】______
small rural counties lose young adults through
outmigration. The loss of potential workers from rural areas, as
young adults leave college and work opportunities in urban 【M9】______
areas, has concerned rural observers for many decades. This
rural "brain drain" not only deprives rural employers of an
education workforce, but also depletes local resources because 【M10】______
communities that have invested in these workers' education
reap little return on that investment.
【M1】

The most distinguished of living Englishmen, who, great as he is in many directions, is perhaps inherently more a man of letters than anything else, has been overheard mournfully to declare that there were more booksellers, shops in his native town sixty years ago, when he was a boy in it, than are today to be found within its boundaries. And yet the place "all unabashed" now boasts its bookless self a city!
Mr. Gladstone was, of course, referring to second-hand bookshops. Neither he nor any other sensible man puts himself out about new books. When a new book is published, read an old one, was the advice of a sound though surly critic. It is one of the boasts of letters to have glorified the term "second-hand", which other crafts have "soiled to all ignoble use". But why it has been able to do this is obvious. All the best books are necessarily second-hand. The writers of today need not grumble. If their books are worth anything, they, too, one day will be second-hand. If their books are not worth anything there are ancient trades still in full operation among us—the pastrycooks and the trunk-makers—who must have paper.

your homework before moving to another state, you may find that your insurer has
dropped you or raised your monthly premiums on hundreds of dollars. Florida, for 【M2】______
example, does not have a guaranteed-issue law, and the state's program as the insurer
of last resort has not accepted new applicants in nearly 15 years despite of legislative【M3】______
efforts to reopen it. That comes as a shock to many early retirers moving to Florida, 【M4】______
said Wayne Sakamoto, a health insurance agent in Naples who is also president of the
Florida Association of Health Underwriters. After being turned off by nearly every 【M5】______
company that offers individual policies in Florida, the Johnsons was worried. They 【M6】______
said that they were basically healthy for their age and that they took some medications 【M7】______
--Mr. Johnson for high blood pressure and Mrs. Johnson for arrhythmia--that were
white flags for some insurers. But having a high-deductible policy allows them to 【M8】______
make pretax contributions to a health saving account, up to their deductible. Any 【M9】______
money they do not spend on health care can be rolled over to following years. As
is the case with an individual retirement account, any withdrawals made before
the age of 65 would be taxed and hit with a 10 percent penalty. After 65,
there is no penalty, but any withdrawals for medical expenses would be taxed. 【M10】______

第一回进山东,春正发生,出潼关沿着黄河古道走,同车里坐着几个和尚——和尚使我们与古代亲近——恍惚里,春秋战国的风云依然演义,我这是去了鲁国之境了。鲁国的土地果然肥沃,人物果然礼仪,狼虎的秦人能被接纳吗?深沉的胡琴从那一簇蓝瓦黄墙的村庄里传来,音韵绵长,和那一条并不知名的河,在暮色苍茫里蜿蜒而来又蜿蜒而去,弥漫着,如麦田上浓得化也化不开的雾气,我听见了在泅水岸上,有了“逝者如斯夫”的声音,从孔子一直说到现在。

"And this here old dog," he continued, touching Tally's upturned nose with his knotted fingers, "this here old dog has followed me for—for ten years; through floods and droughts, through fair times and—and hard—mostly hard; and kept me from going mad when I had no mate nor money on the lonely track; and watched over me for weeks when I was drunk- drugged and poisoned at the cursed shanties; and saved my life more'n once, and got kicks and curses very often for thanks; and forgave me for it all; and—and fought for me. He was the only living thing that stood up for me against that crawling push of curs when they set onto me at the shanty back yonder—and he left his mark on some of 'em too; and—and so did I."
He took another spell.
Then he drew in his breath, shut his teeth hard, shouldered his swag, stepped into the doorway, and faced round again.

"If there were none of this playing at generosity in warfare, we should never go to war, except for something worth facing certain death for, as now. Then there would not be wars because Pavel Ivanitch had insulted Mihail Ivanitch. But if there is war as now, let it be really war. And then the intensity of warfare would be something quite different. All these Westphalians and Hessians Napoleon is leading against us would not have come to fight us in Russia, and we should not have gone to war in Austria and in Prussia without knowing what for.War is not a polite recreation, but the vilest thing in life, and we ought to understand that and not play at war. We ought to accept it sternly and solemnly as a fearful necessity. It all comes to this: have done with lying, and if it's war, then it's war and not a game, or else warfare is simply the favourite pastime of the idle and frivolous... The military is the most honored calling. And what is war, what is needed for success in war, what are the morals of the military world? The means employed in warfare spying, treachery, trickery and lying, which are called military strategy; the morals of the military class--absence of all independence, that is, discipline, idleness, ignorance, cruelty, debauchery, and drunkenness. And in spite of all that, it is the highest class, respected by every one.

由小学到中学,所修习的无非是一些普通的基本知识。就是大学四年,所授课业也还是相当粗浅的学识。世人常,称大学为“最高学府”,这名称易滋误解,好像过此以上即无学问可言。大学的研究所才是初步研究学问的所在,在这里做学问也只能算是初涉藩臂,注重的是研究学问的方法与实习。学无止境,一生的时间都嫌大短,所以古人皓首穷经,头发白了还是在继续研究,不过在这样的研究中确是有浓厚的趣味。
