No Englishman believes in working from book learning. He suspects

everything new, and dislikes it, unless he can be compelled by the force of

circumstances to see that this new thing has advantage over the old.

Race-experience is what he invariably depends upon, when he can, 【M1】______

whether in India, in Egypt, or in Australia.

His statesmen do not consult historic precedents in order to decide 【M2】______

what to do: they first learn the facts that they are; then they depend upon 【M3】______

their own common sense, not at all upon their university learning and upon 【M4】______

philosophical theories. And in case of the English nation, it must be 【M5】______

acknowledged that this instinctive method has been extremely successful.

The last people from whom praise can be expected, even for what is

worth of all praise, are the English. The Englishman all the time is 【M6】______

studying, considering, trying to find fault. Why should he try to find fault?

So that he will not make any mistakes at a later day. He was inherited the 【M7】______

trouble caution of his ancestors in regards to mistakes. It must be granted 【M8】______

that his caution has saved him from a number of very serious mistakes

that other nations have made. It must also be acknowledged that he exercises

a fair amount of moderation in the opposite direction—this modern

Englishman; he has learned caution of other kind, which his ancestors 【M9】______

taught him "Power should be used with moderation; for whoever finds

himself among valiant men will discover that no man is superior than others." 【M10】______

幸福可以被描绘成一种积极的情绪和一种愉快的心境。

根据最近的民意测验，百分之六十到七十的美国人认为他们自己基本上是幸福的；而每二十个人中有一个人认为自己非常不幸福。心理学家们一直在研究构成幸福的因素。幸福是不可预卜的，而一个处于表面上最理想的环境中的人也不一定就会幸福。理想的环境和他实际的感觉之间可能没有什么关系。

Great books are always contemporary. In contrast, the books we call "contemporary", because they are currently popular, last only for a year or two, or ten at the most. You probably cannot recall the names of many earlier best sellers and you probably would not be interested in reading them. But the great books are never outmoded by the movement of thought or the shifting winds of doctrine and opinion.

People regard the "classics" as the great has-beens, the great books of other times. "Our times are different," they say. On the contrary, the great books are not dusty remains for scholars to investigate, they are, rather, the most potent civilizing forces in the world today.

Great books are the most readable. They will not let you down if you try to read them well. They have more ideas per page than most books have in their entirety. That is why you can read a great hook over and over again and never exhaust its contents.

老年为少年之过来人，少年为老年之补者；老与少，只不过时间上之差别而已。然中国习惯，对老少之间，往往存在一条无形的界限。在客观上，有时重老而轻少，有时重少而轻老。在主观上，老者自傲其老，少年自傲其少。几千年来，逐渐形成老者自以为持重练达而菲薄少年为年少没经历；而少年自以为自己精明能干，而认为老者老朽昏庸。此真所谓偏见无知也。我们应懂得，老年与少年，各有所长，各有其用。如能摈弃成见，同为社会效力，则裨益民族，定非浅鲜。

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.

Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese.

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.
