life expectancy by sex, like if women tend

Miller and it's sort of an analysis of urban
areas, a comparison
of population trends and
uh, economic indicators or social indicators, I
guess.
W: OK, well, there's something called
The Population Yearbook, but I don't think it's
gonna do
it by city either.

The United States
owes its high level of development to many
factors. But in the last 100 years,
it has
been the workingman that was the backbone of the
nation. What is the American workingman?
He's
a worker in a shoe factory or meat packinghouse or
a coal mine. But more than that, he's
a
husband and a father. He raises his children to
understand the value of a day's work. He raises
his children to respect the
usefulness of cooperation. And he raises his
children to help them
better themselves.
Frequently, his children go to college and leave
the working class. But seldom
do they forget
the values they have learned at home. The
workingman fought hard to achieve what
he
has. In the beginning, he was little more than a
slave. Long hours' working in dirty dangerous
surroundings for almost no pay took a heavy
loss of lives. But the successful organization of
labor unions changed many of the
terrible conditions of his life. Today the
workingman is faced
with a
new kind of struggle. Ever advancing technology is
taking his job. It's very likely that
the workingman will be replaced by a machine.
But what he will leave will not be forgotten. He
has served his country well. His
country owes him a debt which can never be repaid.
What is one of the major things the
workingman teaches his children?
(2).A.The
machines.
B.The technologies.
C.The
children.
D.The labor unions.(分数:3.00)

What changed workingman's horrible conditions
for the better?
(3).A.He can't raise his
children to be useful people.
B.He can't
leave something for the future generation.

the machine.

development of technology,(分数:3.00)

Today, it's my turn to
give the weekly oral report. I have been assigned
the life of Emily Dickinson.
Compared to Walt
Whitman whom we discussed last week, I found Emily
Dickinson strikingly different.
She seems the
complete opposite of Whitman in her life and in
her work. I will start by sharing
with the
class some essential facts of her life. Emily
Dickinson was born in 1830 in Amherst,
Massachusetts, barely a decade after Whitman.
In her early twenties, she began to withdraw from
ordinary contact with the world. The reasons
for this still remain a mystery, although
researchers
currently believe
that she may have suffered an emotional collapse
after the loss of her teacher
and good
friend. For the remaining 30 years of her life,
she was seldom seen outside her home.
In this respect, she was quite unlike Whitman,
who loved the great outdoors. Emily Dickinson
spent
her lonely days corresponding
with friends and writing hundreds of remarkable
poems, notably I
Heard a Fly Buzz, and the
poem we prepared for class today, I'm Nobody.
Although she showed
some of her poems to her
family and sent some in letters to her friends,
only four were published
in her lifetime.
Most of them, almost 1200 altogether, were
discovered in her room after she died
in 1886
at the age of 56. These poems shocked the literary
community and established her as a
major
poet. Several modern critics consider her the
greatest female poet in the English language.
Uh, that's about all I have. Are there any
questions? If not, we should probably begin
talking
about Dickinson's I'm
Nobody, the poem Prof. Meyer assigned for this
week's class discussion.
Why
did Emily Dickinson separate herself from the
outside world?
(2).A.She published more
poems.
B.She seldom left her home.
C.She
lived in an earlier generation.
D.She wrote
in a different language.(分数:3.00)

Emily Dickinson different from Walt Whitman?

professor.

poetry.(分数:3.00)

Trade between countries is one of the most
important economic activities in the world today.
The
US has many trading partners and one of
the most important is Japan. The trade between the
two
countries amounts to several billion
dollars a year. Many US banks therefore have
offices in Japan,
particularly in
Tokyo and Osaka, the largest cities. Jean
McPherson is the manager of one of those
branch banks in Tokyo. Jean majored in
accounting and business administration in college.
After
graduation, she got a job
with a large New York bank. After two years in
accounting, she was
transferred to
the loan department. Many of the loans which she
was asked to consider involved
international
transactions. Some of them were so complicated
that Jean felt she didn't have a
broad enough
background to understand them. To get more
experience, she asked for a transfer to
the bank's international department. She
became so expert in international finance that it
became
her career. When the bank
decided to open a branch in Tokyo, Jean was
selected to set it up and
run it for the
first few years. She has been in Tokyo for more
than three years now.
What does Jean
McPherson do now?
(2).A.In a trading company
in New York.
In the accounting department in
a university.

C.In a big bank in New
York.
D.In a big international company

People once thought of

a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real
life. But now it is being considered

its fresh water (28) faster than it runs out of
food.
Huge masses of ice are a possible source of
fresh water that has always been (29) until
recently.
Three-quarters of the Earth's fresh
water supply is still in the form of ice, a
reservoir of fresh
water so (30) that it
could supply water to all the rivers of the world
for 1000 years. Floating
on the oceans every
year are 7659 trillion tons of ice in ten thousand
icebergs that break away

poles, icebergs sometimes move (33) in
a
direction opposite to the wind, pulled by sub-
surface currents. To capture them and (34) them
to parts of the world where they are needed
would not be too difficult.

arises in other technical matters, such as the
prevention of rapid melting in warmer
climates and the moving of fresh water to
shore (35) . But even if the icebergs lost half of
their
volume in the process, the water they
could provide would be far cheaper than that
produced by
removing salt from water.

from icebergs. But at that time,
it was only
(26) a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real
life. But now it is being considered
quite

its fresh water (28) faster than it runs out of
food.
Huge masses of ice are a
possible source of fresh water that has always
been (29) until recently.
Three-quarters of
the Earth's fresh water supply is still in the
form of ice, a reservoir of fresh
water so
(30) that it could supply water to all the rivers
of the world for 1000 years. Floating
on the
oceans every year are 7659 trillion tons of ice in
ten thousand icebergs that break away

the ice caps of poles. Huge masses of ice that
