A subtle distinction in the way women are singled out

by the language is evident in the way that the same personality 【M1】______

trait is characterized approvingly for one sex and denigrated

for the other. However, if a man is aggressive, he is considered 【M2】______

a go-getter, a serf-starter, while a woman is considered pushy

or a castrating bitch. If a woman consistently agrees to her 【M3】______

boss, she will be thought bright, a man will be called a yes-man 【M4】______

or an ass-licker.

Many of these discrepancies involve in words that deal directly 【M5】______

or indirectly in women's sexuality. In fact, one linguist has 【M6】______

even made the case "lady" is used as a euphemism for 【M7】______

"woman," in that "woman'' implies at sexuality, while "lady" 【M8】______

is desexed. Certainly, "woman" is a word that can imply the

presence not only of sex, but also of power, which "lady" cannot.

A lady doctor or Ladies' Lib would simply be incongruous.

Although women are used harshly by language, they are not in

their own turn allowed to using harsh language. Women' s language 【M9】______

in English, at least according to stereotype, does not contain

swear words. Robin Lakoff distinguished another character 【M10】______

of women's speech, the tag-form. sentence: a statement of fact

undercut by a final question. "We are going tomorrow, aren't we?"

"This is a terrific play, isn't it?" Even when a woman is assertive,

she often shows token of apparent passivity, as ff all her assertions

were only tentative.

Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business.

For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.

Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was bewildered and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me-a potential to live, you might call it-which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.

The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life 1. When I say belief in myself I'm not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But ! mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite its imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

时代变了，像她这样一个经历了两种社会，大起大落，酸甜苦辣，极度变化的演员，一旦当她走出本来生活的小圈子，走出舞台，走进社会生活的深水里、激流中，以她异常敏感的眼睛、富有情感的心灵去观察生活、体会生活时，她发现那些纷至沓来的新鲜事物，根本来不及用电影去表现。于是，从1958年开始，她的演员生活“淡出”，作家生活“淡入”。

那时河里热闹极了；船大半泊着，小半在水上穿梭似的来往。停泊着的都在近市的那一边，我们的船自然也夹在其中。因为这边略略的挤，便觉得那边十分的疏了。在每一只船从那边过去时，我们能画出它的轻轻的影和曲曲的波，在我们的心上；这显示着是空，且显着是静了。那时处处都是歌声和凄厉的胡琴声，圆润的歌喉，确乎是很少的。但那生涩的，尖脆的调子能使人有少年的，粗率不拘的感觉，也正可快我们的意。况且多少隔开些儿听着，因为想象与渴慕的作美，总觉得更有滋味；而竟发的喧嚣，抑扬的不齐，远近的杂沓，和乐器的嘈嘈切切，合成另一意味的谐音，也使我们无所适从，如随着大风而走。这实在因为我们的心枯涩已久了，变为脆;故偶然润泽一下,便疯狂似的不能自主了。

Anti-social behaviour (ASB) is ally activity that impacts

on other people in a negative way. Despite of a 39 % drop 【M1】______

in the incidence of crime since 1995, anti-social

behaviour remains a serious issue with around 66,000

reports of ASB made to authorities each day. We are

making progress, however. A number of people who 【M2】______

think ASB is a big or fairly big problem has reduced

from 20.7% in 2002 to 16.7% at the end of 2004, so 【M3】______

there still is much more we can be doing together

to tackle with the problem. ASB includes a variety of 【M4】______

behaviour covering a whole complex of selfish and

unacceptable activity that can blight the quality of

community life. Anti-social behaviour doesn't just make life

unpleasant. It holds back the regeneration of disadvantaged

areas and creates an environment more serious crime 【M5】______

can take hold.

Many factors have been identified that, while they do not

cause anti-social behaviour, do increase the risk of their happening. 【M6】______

Four main factors have been identified: family environment,

educational retainment, community life, personal and 【M7】______

individual factors. Most types of anti-social behaviour fit one 【M8】______

of three categories: street problems, nuisance neighbours

or environmental crime. These categories cover a broad

range of conduct ranging from groups of youths behave 【M9】______

aggressively in shopping precincts, to neighbours who don't

clean up after their dogs, to the misuse of fireworks. Anti-social

behaviour impacts individuals, families and communities: 【M10】______

it prevents a peaceful community life and degrades the environment.

Life is everywhere around us. It is evident in the huming of 【1】______

in the atmosphere tiny creatures float about. Beneath our feet untold

trillion of microorganisms are 【3】______

The old-age paternalism of southern Canadians over Eskimos

has died more slowly in the rural villages where Eskimos have

been more reluctant to voice their opinions aggressively. This has

the best interests of the village and potential leaders were re-

strained from making positive contributions to the village coun-

cil. More recently, therefore, the educated Eskimos have been 【M5】_________.

voicing over the interests of those in the rural areas. They are 【M6】_________.

trying out to persuade the government to recognise the rights of 【M7】_________.

full-time hunters, by protecting their territories from mining and

oil prospectors, for example. The efforts of this active minority

is percolating through to the remoter villages whose inhabitants 【M8】_________.

are becoming increasingly vocal.

Continuing change is inevitable but future development poli-

cy must recognise that most Eskimos retain much of its tradition- 【M9】_________.
