我以为世间最可宝贵的就是“今”，最易丧失的也是“今”。因为它最容易丧失，所以更觉得它宝贵。

为什么“今”最可宝贵呢?最好借哲人爱默森所说的话回答这个疑问：“尔若爱千古，尔当爱现在。昨日不能唤回来，明天还不确实，尔能确有把握的就是今日。今日一天当明日两天。”

为什么“今”最易丧失呢?因为宇宙大化刻刻流转，绝不停留。

peen artists were seen along with that of a

Several of the American modernists who

No longer a clear differentiation made between 【M9】 ________.

父亲是个胖子，走过去自然要费事些。我本来要去的，他不肯，只好让他去。我看见他戴着黑布小帽，穿着黑布大马褂，深青布棉袍，蹒跚地走到铁道边，慢慢探身下去，尚不大难。可是他穿过铁道，要爬上那边月台，就不容易了。他用两手攀着上面，两脚再向上缩，他肥胖的身子向左微倾，显出很努力的样手。这时我看见他的背影，我的泪很快地流了下来。我赶紧拭干了泪，怕他看见，也怕别人看见。我再向外看时，他已抱了朱红的橘子往回走了。过铁道时，他先将橘子散放在地上，自己慢慢爬下，再抱起橘子走。到这边时，我赶紧去搀他。他和我走到车上，将橘子一股脑儿放在我的皮大衣上。于是扑扑衣上的泥土，心里很轻松似的。

当前，世界多极化和经济全球化深入发展，科学技术突飞猛进，给亚洲的发展带来薪的机遇，也带来新的挑战。亚洲有49个国家和地区，大部分是发展中经济体。经济全球化，有利于它们更多地获得资金，尤其是跨国企业的投资，加快经济发展和结构调整，有利于它们更好地利用自身优势，开拓国际市场，发展对外经济贸易，有利于它们更快地得到先进技术、管理经验，发挥后发优势，实现技术跨越。

同时也必须看到，经济全球化是一把双刃剑。由于不合理、不公正的国际政治经济秩序没有得到根本改变，经济全球化加剧了各国各地区发展的不平衡性，尤其是使南北的发展差距、贫富差距进—步扩大。

你知道中国最有名的人是谁?

提起此人，人人皆晓，处处闻名。他姓差，名不多，是各省各县各村人氏。你一定见过他，一定听过别人谈起他。差不多先生的名字天天挂在大冢的口头，因为他是中国全国人的代表。

差不多先生的相貌和你和我都差不多。他有一双眼睛，但看的不很清楚；有两只耳朵，但听的不很分明；有鼻子和嘴，但他对于气味和口味都不很讲究。他的脑子也不小，但他的记性却不很精明，他的思想也不很细密。

他常常说：“凡事只要差不多，就好了。何必太精明呢?”

他小的时候，他妈叫他去买红糖，他买了白糖回来。他妈骂他，他摇摇头说：“红糖白糖不是差不多吗?”

朋友A君，四十余岁，自认为是引导新潮流的电影理论家。实际上成“家”还差那么一丁点。最近著系列小文，专论电影艺术的“物质还原性”。举凡“物质还原性”与吾国电影艺术发展十大关系。因其系列而引起电影理论界注意。何谓电影艺术的“物质还原性”，则未加阐明。更显“十大关系”如云山雾罩，高深莫测。

于是有诸多热心电影理论又对追随新流派十分敏感之青年，口中笔下，不乏“物质还原性”一语。虽不甚了了，却以其似乎昭昭，力图亦使人昭昭。同行更因对此理论不甚了了，深感才学浅薄，孤陋寡闻，耻于问津。种种座谈会上，信口引用，加以发挥，以其昏昏，使人更昏昏。昏昏者，不懂也。不懂毕竟有些不光彩，人之讳也。于是昏昏者也伪作昭昭然。

WATER

The second most important constituent of the biosphere is

liquid water. This can only exist in a very narrow range of tem-

peratures, since water freezes at 0℃ and boils at 100℃. This is

only a tiny range compared with the low temperatures of some

other planets and the hot interior of the earth, let the tempera- 【M1】______

ture of the sun.

As we know, life would only be possible on the face of a 【M2】______

planet had temperatures somewhere within this range. 【M3】______

The earth's supply of water probably remains quite fairly con- 【M4】______

stant in quantity. A certain number of hydrogen atoms, which

are one of the main constituents of water, are lost by escaping

from the atmosphere to out space, but they are probably just 【M5】______

about replaced by new water rising away from the depths of the 【M6】______

earth during volcanic action. The total quantity of water is not

known, and it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe 【M7】______

to a depth of about two and three-quarter ms. Most of it - 97%

is in the form. of the salt waters of the oceans. The rest is

fresh, but three quarter of this is in the form. of ice at the Poles 【M8】______

and on mountains, and cannot be used by living systems when 【M9】______

melted. Of the remaining fraction, which is somewhat fewer 【M10】______

than 1% of the whole, there is 10 20 times as much stored as un-

derground water as is actually on the surface. There is also a mi-

nor, but extremely important, fraction of the water supply

which is present as water vapour in the atmosphere.

The amazing success of humans as a species

is the result of the evolutionary development

of our brains which hassled to tool-using,

tool-making, the ability to solve problems by

logical reasoning, thoughtful cooperation,

CD6and language. One of the most striking ways

in that chimpanzees biologically resemble 【M1】______

humans lies in the structure of their trains.

The chimpanzee, with the capacity for primitive

reasoning, exhibits a type of intelligence like 【M2】______

that of humans than does any other mammal living

today. The brain of the modem chimpanzee is

probably not too dissimilar to the brain that

so many millions of years ago direct the behavior 【M3】______

of the first ape man.

In a long time, the fact that prehistoric 【M4】______

people made tools was considered to be one

of the major criterion distinguishing them 【M5】______

from other creatures. It is true that the

chimpanzee does not fashion tools to "a

regular and set pattern" but then, prehistoric

people, after their development of 【M6】______

stone tools.

Undoubtedly poked around with sticks and

straws, at which stage it seems unlikely that

they made tools to a set pattern too. 【M7】______

It is because the close association in 【M8】______

most people's minds of tools with humans

that special attention has always been focused

upon any animal able to use an objective as a 【M9】______

tool; but it is important to realize that this ability,

on its own, does not necessarily indicate

any special intelligence in the creature concerning. 【M10】______
