Before Keynes, economists were gloomy naysayers. "Nothing can be done"," Don't interfere," "It will never work," they intoned with Eeyore—like pessimism. But Keynes was an unswerving optimist. Of course we can lick unemployment! Theer is no reason to put up with recessions and depressions! The "economic problem is not, if we look into the future the permanent problem of the human race," he wrote.

Keynes was born in Cambridge, England, in 1883. His father John Neville Keynes was a noted Cam-bridge economist. His mother Florence Ada Keynes became mayor of Cambridge. Young John was a brilliant student but didn't immediately aspire to either academiv or public life. He wanted to run a railroad. "his so easy.., and fascinating to master the principles of these things, "he told a friend, with his usual modesty. But no railroad came along, and Keynes ended up taking the civil service exam. His lowest mark was in economics. "I evidently knew more about Economics than my examiners." he later explained.

Keynes was posted to the India Office, but the Civil Service proved deadly dull, and he soon left. He lectured at Cambridge, edited an influential journal and socialized with his Bloomsburv friends, surrounded himself with artists and writers and led an altogether dilettantish life until Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in Sarajevo, and Europe was plunged into World War I. Keynes was called to Britain's Treasury to work on overseas finances, where be quickly shone. Even his artistic tastes came in handy. lie figured a way to balance the French accounts by having Britain's National Gallery buy paintings by Manet, Corot and Delaeroix at bargain prices.

The Antarctic is the most remote continent and the last

to be discovered, but it constitutes up about a tenth of the 【M1】______

world's land surface. It is also the only continent without an

indigenous human people. 【M2】______

In the past it had a warm climate, supporting luxury 【M3】______

vegetation and large animals, but the climate deteriorated

over the last 30 million years. Once a great continent 【M4】______

Gondwana had drifted apart sufficiently for a southern

circumpolar current to become established. This, the largest

ocean current in the world, cut off Antarctica from the warmer

oceans to the north and 'allowed the ice sheets in places over

four kilometers high, to develop. 【M5】______

This region is the earth's major heat sink and contains ninety

percent of the world's ice and nearly three-quarters of

its water. Only two percent of the continent is not covered 【M6】______

by ice, and the life retains a tenuous foothold there.

Nearly the half of Antarctica's coastline is hidden by 【M7】______

thick float ice shelves or glacier, and the rest is scoured 【M8】______

by icebergs down to depths of 15 metres. But below this level

there is a colorful marine world containing a great diverse 【M9】______

of life. Recent work has shown that the pack

ice supplies a surprising rich Winter habitat 【M10】______

for a number of small creatures.

One of the strangest things about dispute over advertising

is that the greater the fuss the much of a mystery the industry

itself seems to become. Advertising is a passionate area.

It seems to affect those who attack it and those who defend

it in remarkable similar ways. Before long both are exhibiting 【M1】______

the same compulsive urge to overstate their case to

that it is difficult to believe that the critics and the defenders 【M2】______

of advertising are even arguing for the same thing. But just

as it seemed sensible for us to regard advertising without go 【M3】______

to either extreme, so it also seemed logical to try and find as

cold-bloodedly as if we could, what advertising in the Britain 【M4】______

of the sixties really was.

We knew that they consumed around ＄ 950 million a 【M5】______

year, or roughly 2 percent of the national income. We knew

that it employed something over 200,000 individuals, the

majority of which were paid salaries considerably above the 【M6】______

national average. And we knew that it was supposedly run in

accordance certain rather vague and often complex rules and 【M7】______

professional orders.

Therefore once we tried finding out exactly what all this 【M8】______

money went on, what these highly paid individuals did for it

(and with it) ,and how the rules and orders influenced them,

a curious thing happened. This strange animal called advertising,

so disliked by its supporters and so beloved by its defenders, 【M9】______

began to disappear. In its place were advertising

men and advertising agencies—all working in different ways

and to different rules and all showed quite startling differences 【M10】______

of competence, taste and effectiveness.

Planning is a very important activity in our

lives. It can give pleasure, even excitement, and it【M1】______

can cause quite severe headaches. The most significant【M2】______

the task ahead, the more careful the planning

required. Getting to school or to work on time is a

task requiring few or no planning, it is almost routine【M3】______

A month's touring holiday abroad, or better

still, getting married, is a different matter altogether

If the matter involve a church wedding, a reception【M4】______

a honeymoon in Venice, and returning a new 【M5】______

home, this requires even more planning to make sure

that it is successful. Planning is our way of trying to

ensure success and of avoiding costly failures we can

not suffer. It is equally essential to individual nations【M6】______

and families; the scale may be vary, but the 【M7】______

degree of importance does not. In tile essence, a nation 【M8】______

planning its resources and needs do not differ【M9】______

from the familiar weekly shopping or monthly house

hold budget. Both ate designed to ensure an adequate

supply of essentials, and if improperly carried【M10】______

out, will avoid shortages, wastage and over-expenditure.

As a probing psychologist he is the unrivalled master among all living British and American novelists. Neither do any of his colleagues possess his fantastic imaginative powers and his ability to create characters. His subhuman and superhuman figures, tragic or comic in a macabre way, emerge from his mind with a reality that few existing people even those nearest to us — can give us, and they move in a milieu whose odors of subtropical plants, ladies' perfumes, Negro sweat, and the smell of horses and mules penetrate immediately even into a Scandinavian's warm and cosy den. As a painter of landscapes he has the hunter's intimate knowledge of his own hunting-ground, the topographer's accuracy, and the impressionist's sensitivity. Moreover — side by side with Joyce and perhaps even more so — Faulkner is the great experimentalist among twentieth-century novelists. Scarcely two of his novels are similar technically. It seems as if by this continuous renewal he wanted to achieve the increased breadth which his limited world, both in geography and in subject matter, cannot give him.

We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency—a threat to the survival of our civilization that is gathering ominous and destructive potential even as we gather here. But there is hopeful news as well: we have the ability to solve this crisis and avoid the worst—though not all—of its consequences, if we act boldly, decisively and quickly.

However, too many of the world's leaders are still best described in the words of Winston Churchill applied to those who ignored Adolf Hitler's threat: "They go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, all powerful to be impotent".

So today, we dumped another 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet, as if it were an open sewer. And tomorrow, we will dump a slightly larger amount, with the cumulative concentrations now trapping more and more heat from the sun.
