①A good many things contributed to this accent on success.②There was the Puritan belief in
the virtue of work, both for its own sake and because the rewards it brought were regarded as signs
of God’s love.③There was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled.④There was
the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through
achievement.

①Playing video games encourages immediate content. ②And hours of watching TV shows
with canned laughter only teaches kids to process information in a passive way. ③At the same
time, listening through earphones to the same monotonous beats for long stretches encourages kids
to stay inside their bubble instead of pursuing other endeavors.④All these activities can prevent
the growth of important communication and thinking skills and make it difficult for kids to develop
the kind of sustained concentration they will need for most jobs.
....................................................................................................................................................................................
03
①I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&A wave are the same that
underlie the globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs, lower trade and
investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting
customer's demands. ②All these are beneficial, not detrimental, to consumers. ③As productivity
grows, the world's wealth increases.

①To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke,“all that is needed for the triumph of a
misguided cause is that good people do nothing.”②One such cause now seeks to end biomedical
research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research.③Scientists
need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public
and thereby threatening advances in health knowledge and care. ④Leaders of the animal rights
movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people
understand the process of health care research. ⑤Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in
research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.

①Honesty is the best policy, as the English saying goes. ②Unfortunately, honesty often
deserts us when no one is watching.③British psychologists reported last week.

①Buildings account for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.②But green buildings can
reduce energy and water use.③Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such
as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less.④That could be good for the
environment, because cars use lots of natural resources such as gasoline, and give off pollution.
⑤Green buildings are often built on previously developed land, so that the buildings don't destroy
forests or other wild habitats.

①Crying is hardly an activity encouraged by society.②Tears, be they of sorrow, anger, or joy,
typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. ③The shedder of tears is likely to

apologize, even when a devastating tragedy was the provocation. ④The observer of tears is likely
to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional outpouring.⑤But judging from recent
studies of crying behavior, links between illness and crying and the chemical composition of tears,
both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive.

①Everybody loves a fat pay rise. ②Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a
colleague has been given a bigger one. ③Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might
even be outraged. ④Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying
assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance.
⑤But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia,
which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.

①How things have changed!②In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid
growth while Japan has been struggling.③Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious
causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle. ④Self-doubt has yielded to blind
pride." ⑤American industry has changed its structure, has gone on a diet, has learnt to be more
quick-witted," according to Richard Cavanagh, executive dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of
Government," ⑥It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are
improving their productivity, says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute, a think-tank in Washington,
DC.⑦And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back
on this period as" a golden age of business management in the United States."

第二章 章法分析
摘于《考研英语二高分老蒋教程》
01
Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to
supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than
$10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock,
when prices quadrupled, and 1979-80, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks
resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning
of gloom and doom this time?
The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports.
Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could
push the price higher still in the short term.
Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in
the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of
petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so
even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the
past.
Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings
in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy,
energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile
telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices)
rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest
Economic Outlook that, it oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in
1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP. That is
less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing
emerging economies—to which heavy industry has shifted—have become more energy-intensive,
and so could be more seriously squeezed.
One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the
1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global

excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The
Economist's commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973 commodity
prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.

I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or
unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these
statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck
by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in
the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of
anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical
isolation -- brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other
things -- and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
Given that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation
cope.
At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No
child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against
stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and
computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face
relationships, and they will get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games
and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never
attended Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and
provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin
your life.
