There is No Way but Ahead

Yes, science has helped create problems, too—serious ones. And we must labor to solve them—in the only way history tells us problems have been solved: by science. If we were to turn away now, if a noble young generation abandoned the materialism of an industry, what would happen? Without the machinery of that industry, we would inevitably drift back to slavery.

No fundamental technological advance has ever been given up willingly by any society. There has been no way to do it.

About 8,000 B. C. mankind invented agriculture. Again it made possible an increase in numbers. People had never eaten so well, but it meant they had to give up the free, nomadic life and remain bound to the soil. It meant hard labor. It meant banding together to fight off surrounding tribes who, still food gathering, might help themselves to your crops. It also meant the risk of crop failure.

Why not, then go back to the wilder, freer ways of hunting and food gathering.'? Wouldn't that mean less work and worry, less wars, less plagues?

Have you ever thought of the similarities between the cinema and the

theatre? The cinema has learnt a great deal from the theatre about presentation.

Gone are the days when crowds were packed on wooden benches in

tumbledown buildings to gape at die antics of silent, jerking figures on a

screen, where some poor pianist made frantic efforts to translate the drama 【M1】______.

into music. These days it is quite easier to find a cinema that surpasses a 【M2】______.

theatre in luxury. Even in small easy villages, cinemas are spacious, well-lit

and well .ventilated places where one can sit for comfort. The projectionist 【M3】______.

has been trained Io give the audience time to prepare themselves for the

film they are to see. Talk drops to a whisper and then fades out together.【M4】______.

As soon as the cinema is in darkness, spotlights are focused on the curtains

which are drawn slowly apart, often to the accompany of music, to reveal【M5】______.

the title of the film. Everything has been carefully contrived so that the

spectator will never actually see the naked screen which will remind to him 【M6】______.

all too sharply that what he is about to sec is nothing merely shadows flickering 【M7】______.

on a white board. However much the cinema tries to simulate from 【M8】______.

the conditions in a theatre, it never fully succeeds. Nothing can be equal to

the awe and sense of hushing expectation which is felt by a theatre audience 【M9】______.

as the curtain is slowly risen. 【M10】______.

【M1】

All the same, if there be not the intention, there is

at least the accident, of style, which, if one looks

at it at a friendly way, appears to proceed 【M1】 ______.

to three sources. One of these is simply the 【M2】 ______.

general greatness, and the manner of in which 【M3】 ______.

that makes a difference for the better in any

particular spot, so that though you may often

perceive yourself to be in a shabby corner it

never occurs for you that this is the end of it. 【M4】 ______.

Another is the atmosphere, with its magnificent

mystifications, which flatters and superfuses,

makes everything brown, rich, dim, vague,

magnifies distances or minimizes details, 【M5】 ______.

confirms the inference of vastness by suggesting

that, as the great city makes everything it makes

its own system of weather and its own optical laws.

The last is the congregation of the parks, which constitutes 【M6】 ______.

an ornament not elsewhere to be matched and

give the place a superiority that all of its 【M7】 ______.

uglinesses overcome. They spread themselves with

such a luxury of space in the centre of the town

what they form. a part of the impression of any 【M8】 ______.

walk, of almost any view, and, with an audacity altogether

their own, make a pastoral landscape under the smoky sky.

There is no mood of the rich London climate that is

not becoming to them--I have seen them look delightfully romantic,

like parks in novels, in the wettest winter—and there is

scarcely a mood of the appreciative residents to that 【M9】 ______.

they have not something to say it. 【M10】 ______.

One of the great charms of Lawrence as a companion was that he could never be bored and so could never be boring. He was able to absorb himself completely in which he was doing at the moment, and he regarded no task as too humble for him to undertake, nor too trivial that it was not worth his while to do it well. He could cook, he could sew, he could dam a stocking and milk a cow, he was an efficient woodcutter and a good hand at embroidery, fire always burned when he laid them and a floor, after Lawrence had scrubbed it, was thoroughly clean. Moreover, he possessed what is, for a highly-strung and highly intelligent man, an even more remarkable accomplishment: he knows how to do nothing. He could just sit and be perfectly content. And his contentment, while one remained in his company, was infectious.

Air quality in Britain has improved considerably

in the last 30 years. Total emissions of

smoke in the air have risen by over 85 per cent 【1】______

since 1950. The domestic smoking control 【2】______

program has been particularly important in achieving

this result. London and other major cities are no 【3】______

longer have the dense smoke-laden "smogs" of the

1950s, but in central London winter sunshine has 【4】______

increased about 70 per cent since 1958. 【5】______

Since 1990, daily air pollution data from the

British monitoring network has been made available 【6】______

to the public by the Department of the

Environment's Air Quality Bulletins. These give the

concentrations of three main pollutants--ozone, nitrogen

dioxide and sulfur dioxide -- and grade air quality

on a scale between "very weak" and "very 【7】______

good". The information features in television and

radio weather reports, appears in many national and 【8】______

local newspapers. Therefore, the data are available 【9】______

on a special free telephone number and on videotext

systems.

A comprehensive review of the issue of urban

air quality was published in January 1992. Three

independent committees of which experts have been 【10】______

established to advise on different aspects of the problem,

and will set guidelines and targets for air quality.

The network is also being extended and up-

graded at a cost of ￡ 10 million.

近读报纸，对国内名片和请柬的议论颇多，于是想起客居巴黎时经常见到的法国人手中的名片和请柬，随笔记下来，似乎不无借鉴之处。

在巴黎，名目繁多的酒会，冷餐会是广交朋友的好机会。在这种场合陌生人相识，如果是亚洲人，他们往往开口之前先毕恭敬地用双手把自己的名片呈递给对方，这好像是不可缺少的礼节。然而，法国人一般却都不大主动递送名片，双方见面寒暄几句，甚至海阔天空地聊一番也就各自走开，只有当双方谈话投机，希望继续交往时，才会主动掏出名片。二话不说先递名片反倒有些勉强。

法国人的名片讲究朴素大方，印制精美，但很少有镶金边儿的，闪光多色的或带香味儿的，名片上的字体纤细秀丽，本人的名字也不过分突出，整张纸片上空白很大，毫无拥挤不堪的感觉。

On each side of a bright river he saw rise a line of brighter palaces, arched and pillared, and inlaid with deep red porphyry, and with serpentine; along the quays before their gates were riding troops of knights, noble in face and form, dazzling in crest and shield; horse and man one labyrinth of quaint color and gleaming light -- the purple, and silver, and scarlet fringes flowing over the strong limbs and clashing mail, like sea-waves over rock at sunset. Opening on each side from the river were gardens, courts, and cloisters; long successions of white pillars among wreaths of vine, leaping of fountains through buds of pomegranate and orange; and still a- long the garden-paths, and under and through the crimson of the pomegranate shadows, moving slowly, groups of the fairest women that Italy ever saw--fairest, because purest and most thoughtful; trained in all high knowledge, as in all courteous art--in dance, in song, in sweet wit, in lofty learning, in loftier courage, in loftiest love--able alike to cheer, to enchant, or save the souls of mere

The British Empire was once home to third of the 【M1】______

world’s population. But, with the return of Hong Kong and its six

million inhabitants to China, only 180,000 people in 12 populated

territories now themselves as British colonial subjects. 【M2】______

Britain's imperial expansion, which continued for 400 years,

was motivated by the desire to acquire the wealth, and to 【M3】______

maintain the British navy’s control of the seas. Today, that flow

of wealth has reversed and most of the "dependent territories", 【M4】______

as these colonies are known, require some financial support from Britain.

It was with the granting of independence to India in 1947 Britain【M5】______

started to dismantle its empire. It was relative easy to give independence【M6】______

to the larger colonies - indeed, most campaigned vigorously for self - rule—

but the small dependencies, which were less economically viable, preferred【M7】______

to remain beyond British rule. 【M8】______

Most are still unwilling to cut these old ties, chiefly for financial

reasons. Since 1990 , Britain has provided its dependencies with 153 million

in aid, and for many this money is a lifeline. Even Britain's rich【M9】______

territory ,Bermuda, wants to maintain its links with the UK. In

a referendum in 1995 voters overwhelmingly rejected dependence. 【M10】______

Bermuda is Britain’s oldest colony and it earns much of its income

through banking and other financial services.

The job of check-in clerks at Heathrow, or any airport, 【M1】______

is not a glamorous or particularly satisfactory one. The work 【M2】______

is mechanical and repetitive: cheek the ticket against

the passenger list, tear out the ticket from its folder,

allocate the chair, etc. The only variety in this routine occurs 【M3】______

when things go wrong—when flights are delayed or cancelled

because of bad weather or strikes or technical hitches. Then

the checker bores the full brunt of the customers' fury 【M4】______

without able to do anything to alleviate it. 【M5】______

Cheryl Summerbee, a checker for British Airways in

Terminal One at Heathrow, did not complain of boredom.

Though passengers who passed in her hands took 【M6】______

little notice of her, she took a lot of notice of them. She

injected interest into her job by making quick assessment 【M7】______

of their characters and treating them accordingly. Those

who were rude or arrogant or otherwise unpleasant she put in

uncomfortable seats, near to the toilets. Seat allocation was 【M8】______

a fine and delicate art to her.

Summerbee was very much in favour of love. On the shelf under

her counter she kept a Bills and Moon romance to read in those slack

periods. She firmly believed that it was love that made the world go

around and she did her bit to keep the globe spinning on its axis 【M9】______
