近年来，由于就业问题日益严重，有些人建议让没有工作的未婚妇女来替换那些家务繁重的女工。有些当丈夫的还说：“让我们的爱人回家去，把她们的工资拿来贴补我们。我们从家务琐事中解放出来，工作就能干得更好。”有些有工作的母亲力图一面搞好家务，一面做好工作。她们也附和着说：“我想，为了丈夫和孩子的前途，我应放弃自己的事业。”

全国妇联强烈反对这种观点，妇联写信给中国共产党中央委员会说：“女工已成为劳动大军中必不可少的力量。让她们回家去只能削弱我国的现代化和妇女解放事业。解决就业问题要靠扩大生产来提供工作机会。”

The climate phenomenon that is being blamed for floods, hurricanes and early snow- storms deserves credit for invigorating plants and helping to control the pollutant linked to global warming, a new study shows. El Nino---the periodic warming of eastern Pacific Ocean waters--causes a burst of plant growth throughout the world, and this removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, researchers have found.

Natural weather events, such as the brief warming caused by El Nino, have a much more dramatic effect than previously believed on how much carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants and how much of the gas is expelled by the soils, said David Schimel of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. He is co-author of a study to be published in the journal Science.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide, or C02, has been increasing steadily for decades. This is thought to be caused by an expanded use of fossil fuels and by toppling of tropical forests. Scientists have linked the CO2 rise to global warming, a phenomenon known as the green- house effect. Nations of the world now are drawing up plans to reduce fossil-fuel burning in hopes of reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Science is above all a human activity. One obvious meaning of

this is that science is done by people. A second and equally accurate

meaning is all people do science in some form. After all, the 【1】______

methods of science are basically simple extension of the ways all 【2】______

people learning about their world. Science in many ways is very 【3】______

similar to how we have been learning about the world since we were

infants. Consequently, because each of you has been used it in one 【4】______

form. or other since you first began toddling about and discovering 【5】______

the world, you already know much more about the scientific method

than you think you do.

Watch a young child. When something catches his or her eye,

the child must examine it, study it, observe it, have a fun with it.【6】______

Next, the child wants to interact on it, touch it, feel it. From 【7】______

passive observations and active interactions, a child slowly learns【8】______

about the world. Some interactions are fun: "If I tip the glass, I get

to see the milk from pretty pictures on the floor." Other interactions

are not much fun:" If I touch on the red circles on the stove, my 【9】______

fingers hurt!" From each interaction, the child learns a little more【10】______

about the world.

然而，或是因为中国人与其他人太不一样，或是因为他们工作起来很有耐心，他们能成功地把表面看来毫无价值的开采地(mining claim)变为有利可图的东西，这使他们成为爱嫉妒的竞争者们的眼中钉。他们受到了多种形式的骚扰。经常阻止他们在开采地上开矿；一些地区甚至通过了禁止他们拥有开采地的桌例。因此，中国人开始艰难地寻找其他的谋生途径。他们中的一些人开始为开矿的白种人洗衣服；其他一些人则开小饭馆。

One question is often risen in response to international 【M1】______

test comparisons: Do these results really mean anything? In

the past, international testing programs have been criticized

on variety of grounds. Two allegations, in particular, have 【M2】______

been common: first, that other nations have not tested as large

a percentage of their student population, and nevertheless their【M3】______

scores have been inflated; and second, that our best students are

among the world's best, with our average brought down by a 【M4】______

large cohort of low-achievers.

Whatever the historic validity of such concerns, they are 【M5】______

now, if anything, reversed. Particularly in the fourth and eighth

grade, education has become universal in all of the leading

nations. Therefore, in science, the percentage of randomly selected【M6】______

U.S. schools and students that actually did participate at the

eighth grade level was just 73 percent—the third-lowest of all

45 participating countries, and 11 percentage points under the【M7】______

average participation rate of industrialized nations. In fact, the

United States had third-lowest overall participation rate for both【M8】______

grades in both subjects. Japan, Taiwan and Singapore all had

participation percentages in the 90s.

How about our best and brightest? At the fourth-grade level,

there is some real truth to the idea that the best American students【M9】______

are among the best in the world. Looking only at the top 5 percent

of test-takers, American fourth-graders beat the average of wealthy

nations by 13 percentage points. By the eighth grade, however, the

tables have turned, with America's brightest students fallen 10【M10】______

percentage points behind their foreign peers.

The world is in a self-destruction mode. By this statement I

mean that the people of the world are bent on making this planet

inhabitable in three distinct ways. Furthermore, these three ways are 【M1】______

all interrelated and related directly to industrialization.

The first of three is through pollution 【M2】______

of the air, the water, and the soil. Industrialization has meant toxic【M3】______

fumes in the atmosphere and poisonous substances in the water and

in the soil. Industry has also been responsible to noise and visual

pollution: the roar of machinery and the ugliness of factories and

cheap housing developments... these factors take the joy outside of【M4】______

natural surroundings for human beings.

However, the balance of nature has been upset. To feed the 【M5】______

hungry factories, huge forests have been leveled, mountains have

stripped of their protection... The results are farther-reaching【M6】______

as we can know. 【M7】______

The third and the most acute of the problem is the psychological【M8】______

effect on people of increased competition and hard economic times.

The reasons that people give for political unrest might be reasons of

belief or religion, but I believe that it is the desire of people to

improve their standard of life that ultimately causes wars. Because of【M9】______

the industrialization, much of the beauty and the simplicity of life is

away. 【M10】______
