Today the ancient, ancestral wisdom of the hand has been largely replaced by the simple movement of the machine operator. Our glass and china, furniture, books, and textiles are almost entirely products of the machine. That machine-made goods can be well-designed and good-looking no one now denies; nevertheless, there are many who believe that if the old skills of hand-workers were to die out altogether, it would be a disaster.

Their arguments are, roughly, three. First, that the machine is by its nature a mass producer, and that objects made in ones and twos can be made better, even cheaper, by an individual craftsman than by a machine; secondly, that the human hand with relatively simple tools can produce objects of a quality permanently beyond the reach of the machine; thirdly, that it is not good for mankind if people lost the ability to create with their hands.

The cinema has learned a great deal from the theater about presentation. Gone are the

days when crowds were packed on wooden benches

in tumble-down buildings to gape the 【M1】______

antics of silent, jerking figures on the screen,

where some poor pianist made frantic efforts 【M2】______

to translate the dramas into music.

These days it is quite easier to find a cinema that 【M3】______

surpasses a theater in luxury. Even in small villages, cinemas are spacious, well-lit and well

ventilated places where one can sit for comfort.

The projectionist has been trained to give 【M4】______

the audience time to prepare themselves for the film they are to see. Talk drops to a whisper

and then fades out together. As soon ad the cinema is in darkness,

spotlights are focused on 【M5】______

the curtains which are drawn slowly apart,

often to the accompany of music, to reveal the 【M6】______

title of the film. Everything has carefully

contrived so that the spectator will never actually 【M7】______

see the naked screen which will remind him all too sharply that what he is about to see is

nothing merely shadows flickering on a white board.

However much the cinema tries to 【M8】______

simulate the conditions in a theater,

it never fully succeeds. Nothing can equal to the awe and 【M9】______

sense of hushed expectation which is felt by

a theater audience as the curtain is slowly risen. 【M10】______

第一个人说：活得太累了。没完没了的解释，无休无止的小心，成年累月为别人活着。为人子、为人夫、为人父、为人同事、为人哥儿们、为人“喽喽”、为人“头头”。看别人的脸色，讨别人的喜欢，避别人的忌讳，给别人以好感。“摇旗呐喊，插科打诨，”不想笑要笑，哭不出来要哭……累了，太累了。第二个人说：活腻味了。爱过了，恨过了，哭过了，乐过了，苦过了。金银财宝，身外之物。功名利禄，过眼云烟，。第三个人说：怎么能这样对待生活!同志们，振兴中华，匹夫有责，开放改革，重担就落在你、我、他身上。

It was twenty years ago and I was living in Paris. I had a tiny

apartment in the Latin Quarter overlook a cemetery, and I was 【1】______

earning barely little money to keep body and soul together. She had【2】______

read a book of mine and had written me about it. I answered, 【3】______

thanked her, and presently I received from her another letter saying

that she is passing through Paris and would like to have a chat with【4】______

me; and her time was limited, and the only free moment she had

was at the following Thursday; she was spending the morning at the【5】______

Luxembourg and should I give her a little luncheon at Foyot's 【6】______

afterwards? Foyot's is a restaurant at which the French senators

eat, and it was far beyond my means that I had never even thought 【7】______

of going there. But I was flattered and I was very young to have 【8】______

learned to say no to a woman Few men, I may add, learn this until

they are too old to make it of any consequence to a woman what they

say. I had eighty francs (gold francs) to last for me the rest 【9】______

of month, and a modest luncheon should not cost more than fifteen.【10】______

If I cut out coffee for the next two weeks I could manage well enough.

不消说，相识的人数是随了年龄增加的，一个人年龄越大，走过的地方当过的职务越多，相识的人理该越增加了。可是相识的人并不就是朋友。我们和许多人相识，或是因了事务关系，或是因了偶然的机缘—如在别人请客的时候同席吃过饭之类。见面时点头或握手，有事时走访或通信，口头上彼此也称“朋友”，笔头上有时或称“仁兄”，诸如此类，其实只是一种社交上的客套，和“顿首”“百拜”同是仪式的虚伪。这种交际可以与是社交，和真正的友谊相差似乎很远。

Everyone knows that human language can be a superb

means of communication. Therefore, it can be damnably 【M1】______

misleading, a barrier to people's understanding with each

other, and never more so than when names given for the

ease of classification are taken to mean more than they 【M2】______

do. If, for instance, they say that this man is white and 【M3】______

that man coloured, we say no more than truth as long 【M4】______

as we understand that we are speaking only of the colour

of the skin. We can also make neutral and honest

comments such as that "A" is above average height,

has little than the average intelligence, is red- 【M5】______

haired, is born in the north, and is left-handed. The

danger raises when we find other men who are white 【M6】______

or coloured, who are tall, stupid, red-haired, northerners,

or sinister. It is then we begin to correlate one fact with 【M7】______

another and to make assumptions about other characteristics,

which we believe are linked to the features we first observe.

So that when we talk about the white or the coloured, 【M8】______

we apt to imply and believe that each adjective tells us 【M9】______

more about the person in the question than it can. We 【M10】______

are making them into portmanteau words into which

we have packed our hopes，our wishes，our prejudices and our fears．

The balance of nature is a very elaborate and very delicate system of checks and counterchecks. It is continually being altered as climates change, as new organisms evolve, as animals or plants permeate to new areas. But tile alterations have in the past, for the most part, been slow, whereas with the arrival of civilized man, their speed has been multiplied manifold: from the evolutionary time-scale, where change is measured by periods of ten or a hundred thousand years, they have been transferred to the human time-scale in which centuries and even decades count.

Everywhere man is altering the balance of nature. He is facilitating the spread of plants and animals into new regions, sometimes deliberately, sometimes unconsciously. He is covering huge areas with new kinds of plants, or with houses, factories, slag-heaps and other products of his civilization. He exterminates some species on a large scale, but favors the multiplication of others. In brief, he has done more in five thousand years to alter the biological aspect of the planet than has nature in five million.

人类社会的发展进入了快车道。现代都市文明的产物——抑郁症等心理或精神疾病正开始折磨着人们。心理学家和医生认为21世纪将是心理疾病高发时代。据估计，本世纪大约有3%的人需要心理治疗。大部分人的心理问题可以通过自我调整来控制。

不少学者指出，我们应该更加注意对儿童的教育，教导他们热爱他人，关心集体和社会。要培养他们更有责任心和自信心；更合群、乐于助人，更能理解和体贴他人，善于思考和培养独立解决问题的能力。因为今天的儿童比起前几代人有更多的情感问题需要应付，如紧张、孤独、焦虑和压抑。
