Title:The Best Invention of the Year: NASA's Ares RocketsBy JEFFREY KLUGER Thursday, Nov. 12, 2009Lead:Metal has no DNA; machines have no genes. But that doesn't mean they don't have pedigrees — ancestral lines every bit as elaborate as our own. That's surely the case with the Ares 1 rocket. The best and smartest and coolest thing built in 2009 — a machine that can launch human beings to cosmic destinations we'd never considered before — is the fruit of a very old family tree, one with branches grand, historic and even wicked.Body:There are a lot of reasons astronauts haven't moved beyond the harbor lights of low-Earth orbit in nearly 40 years, but one of them is that we haven't had the machines to take us anywhere else. The space shuttle is a flying truck: fine for the lunch-bucket work of hauling cargo a couple of hundred miles into space, but nothing more. In 2004, however, the U.S. committed itself to sending astronauts back to the moon and later to Mars, and for that, you need something new and nifty for them to fly. The answer is the Ares 1, which had its first unmanned flight on Oct. 28 and dazzled even the skeptics.From a distance, the rocket is unprepossessing — a slender white stalk that looks almost as if it would twang in the Florida wind. But up close, it's huge: about 327 ft. (100 m) tall, or the biggest thing the U.S. has launched since the 363-ft. (111 m) Saturn V moon rockets of the early 1970s. Its first stage is a souped-up version of one of the shuttle's solid-fuel rockets; its top stage is a similarly muscled-up model of the Saturn's massive J2 engines.If that general body plan doesn't exactly break ground, that's the point. NASA tried breaking ground with the shuttles and in doing so broke all the rules. Shuttle astronauts sit alongside the fuel — next to the exploding motor that claimed Challenger, beneath the chunks of falling foam that killed Columbia. Andwhen you fly a spacecraft repeatedly as opposed to chucking it after a single use, there's a lot of wear to repair.When NASA engineers gathered to plan the next generation of America's rockets, they thus decided to go back to the future — way back. The Saturn V was the brainchild of Wernher von Braun, the German scientist whose bright genius gave the U.S. its finest line of rockets — and whose dark genius gave Hitler the V2 missile that rained terror on London. Von Braun had, in turn, drawn insights from American rocket pioneer Robert Goddard. Goddard built on the work of17th century artillery innovator Kazimierz Siemienowicz, a Pole.The Ares 1 is a worthy descendant of their rockets and others, with lightweight composites, better engines and exponentially improved computers giving it more reliability and power. The Ares 1 will launch an Apollo-like spacecraft with four crew members — perhaps by 2015. Alongside it, NASA is developing the Brobdingnagian Ares V, a 380-ft. (116 m) behemoth intended to put such heavy equipment as a lunar lander in Earth orbit, where astronauts can link up with it before blasting away to the moon. Somewhere between the two rockets is theso-called Ares Lite — a heavy-lift hybrid that could carry both humans and cargo and is intended to be a design that engineers can have in their back pockets if the two-booster plan proves unaffordable.The new rockets could take astronauts to some thrilling places. The biggest costs — and risks — associated with visiting other celestial bodies are from landing and taking off again. But suppose you don't land? An independent commission appointed by the White House to make recommendations for NASA's future recently returned its 154-page report and made strong arguments for bypassing the familiar boots-in-the-soil scenario in favor of a flexible path of flybys and orbits.Under the new thinking, astronauts could barnstorm or circle the moon, Mars and Mars' twin moons, deploying probes to do their rock-collecting and experiments for them. They could similarly sample near-Earth objects like asteroids. They could also travel to what is known as the Lagrange points — aBody: Inverted PyramidThe order of this news:#Lead: We can know from the lead:The Best Invention of 2009 is the NASA's#Background or relevant event: paragraph 3 give us the background and relevant event that the White House once make recommendations for NASA's future but recently returned its 154-page report and made strong arguments . this part is a suspense, which can recatch readers attention. At the end of the news,the reporter goes on to accomplish the unclear suspense by “There's no way of knowing if those projections are too rosy, but if history teaches us anything, it's that the space program's grimmest chapters”英文报刊导读作业考号:152学号:07510130班级:0705姓名:谢伟玲。

"We knew it was an avalanche but we couldn't run away or do anything. "There was a big chunk of snow that fell over us and swept us away. It looked like clouds, all white," he said in a hospital intensive care unit where he was being treated for a blood clot on his leg and facial injuries.Climbers declared a four-day halt to efforts to scale the8,848-metre (29,029-ft) summit and, while some decided to abandon their mission, others said they would go ahead after talking to their guides.

About something that has taken place so mostly written in thepast tense.3. Simple – In fact close to the way we talk –relatively shortsentences and words and some use of clichés which the whole audience understand.4. Punchy –it must g rab the reader’s attention so often uses:– short rather than long words– active verbs– relatively short sentences– concrete rather than abstract vocabulary– sometimes emotive and colorful vocabulary– some use (but not overuse) of adjectives5.

But the H.M.O.’s keep stranding hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries annually by either leaving the program or reducing benefits. So he believes that it is foolish even to consider throwing more money at this failed system.12.

Many part-time and temporary workers are more likely to bearthe brunt of a job drought because many companies lay them off first.11. Many states will be under pressure to tighten up eligibility ruleseven further because they have allowed their unemploymentinsurance reserve funds to run down in recent years, when the good times seemed to make them less urgent. With unemployment rising again, fewer workers are paying into the system just as more former workers need to take money out. 12.

The way society viewed teens shifted dramatically around thetime of the Great Depression. Before then, teens worked and were considered virtually grown up. But facing a workplace without jobs, Depression youth turned to education as a consolation prize. As high school attendance rolls swelled, the status of teens as full-fledged members of society declined. Now that they were students rather than workers, they came to seem younger than before.15. What’s distinctly different for today’s teenagers, experts say, isthe level of cultural negativity they’re exposed to, from theover-the-top sexuality in advertising, television, and film, to the prevalence of gun violence and family dysfunction. Their exposure to risk is so far beyond what other generations have dealt with.16. Family plays a very important role in helping children overcomethe stresses.

The 2005 survey found that about three out of four companies regularly track which websites their employees visit. More than half use surveillance software to scour office e-mail (looking for hot-button keywords like sex in the subject line or body of messages). More than a third extend their snooping to monitor how much time workers spend at the computer, record their keystrokes or log their downloads. And one in four companies reports firing someone for improper e-mail use.2. Heidi Arace and Norma Yetsko distributed via office e-mail what they thought was fun to share, which their bosses found offensive enough. As a result, the two longtime workers were fired.3. Reasons why companies monitor their workers’ computer use include:- to see to it that workers waste less time online and work more efficiently;- to avoid legal trouble;- to guarantee the security;- to avoid the leakage of sensitive information.4. Companies are using two types of spying software: network-based programs that monitor all traffic passing through a system, and programs that sit directly on an employee’s desktop.5. They should know the company’s computer-use policy and comply with it. They should assume they’re being monitored, and behave accordingly. They should never bad-mouth the company online. They should not use personal e-mail accounts or post to a blog. They should avoid transmitting any message that could embarrass themselves or others if made public. They should not think instant messaging is less permanent than e-mail. When surfing the Web, they should never click on something flagged NSFW (not safe for work).作业六:文艺体育、企业经济、社会问题Lesson 28Answers to the questions1. C2. A3. B4. A5.

Because Enron was not welcomed either by the dominant regional telephone companies or cable companies, each of which had their own strategies for high-speed Internet business.Lesson 34Answers to the questions1. A2. B3. C4. D5. The statistics suggest that gang members are more likely to sell drugs, assaut innocent folk, steal cars and commit murder.6. The data show that roughly half of the gang members hadbeen involved in a drive-by shooting, 80% carried a concealed weapon and 50% reported taking guns to school.7. Successful intervention programs must aim at boys at this stage.8. The author believes that the society can help some of the gang members to turn over a new leaf by offering them decent regular jobs. One if four gang members said that they would quit the business for a regular wage of $6-7 an hour.Additional Reading1. He shot and killed two people about 7:20 a.m. in West Ambler Johnston Hall. Two-and-a-half hours later, he killed 30 people in Norris Hall and then committed suicide.2.

高中语文阅读材料天马陈应松草原因为辽阔而静止,雪山因为高远而静默。
如果没有马匹和骑手,没有马的长嘶和奔腾,草原一如远古,或者已经死去,草原上将没有英雄和传说。
但是有一万匹马,一万匹从天山奔腾直下的马,摧毁一切的声音,如远雷滚过天际,带着天穹下的烟尘和雾霭,突然撬开我们的眼睛。
这片草原,在疼痛和喜悦、战栗和快感中醒来,开始呼吸。
马在草原上驰骋。
一次次,这就是上天送给草原的馈赠。
是我心中的某一匹马?超越了我的想象。
这不曾是我视觉应该尽享的盛宴。
这个物种,我并不熟悉,它们的气味,它们高大的比例匀称的身架,它们的长脸,它们眼睛里的东西,它们的脊鬃和甩尾,它们奔跑时山崩地裂的暴发感。
它们躲在我们一生的词语背后,在遥远的天山深处,活着,空间巨大。
它们活在书里,活在虚幻而高不可攀的意境里。
说来就来。
像一阵风,一阵狂风,仿佛卷起天空下的血潮,呼啸而来,陡然间将我和草原淹没。
并不是所有人,能走到这里,被这惊心动魄的铁蹄刺醒。
像哑巴,张大着嘴,意外地,成为见证者。
我是如何走到这样壮阔无边、所向披靡的世界,混迹于它们中间?有多厚的耳膜,能够承受它们的嘶鸣?马群怒卷,就像我们心上某种东西的突然炸裂。

马的疆域与天空重叠。

是的,它们就是天马,汗血宝马的子孙,有着高贵的英雄血统。
你究竟有多么优美?上帝究竟如何精工雕出了你?天空,灰色的钢,充满了冷漠,充满了对草原长久审美的疲惫。
但是,天马搏动的心脏,就像鹰,在飞翔。
没有倦怠,一如历史上最伟大的心跳,变成文字和诗。
冰河铁马的壮美,“马毛带雪汗气蒸”的悲怆……这些天马依然在这里。

国际金融危机背景下中国企业走出去的战略思路及对策研究
彭玉 200943070222 摘要
面对世界经济危机的冲击,面对世界经济出现复苏的迹象,如何正确认识并采取措施应对经济危机及后危机时代给中国企业“走出去”战略带来的影响,防范风险,捉住机遇,是中国企业“走出去”面对的一个新课题。本文分析了金融危机对中国企业“走出去”的宏观影响,即从机遇和挑战两个方面分析,并提出几点关于我国企业实施“走出去”的对策。
关键词:金融危机 中国企业 走出去 政府 正文
走出去是中国主动应对经济全球化,参与国际竞争,实现经济腾飞,民族复兴的需要,更是解决我国经济结构矛盾的必由之路。近年来,中国经济发展迅速,中国企业的综合实力不断增强,有意愿“走出去”进行国际化经营的中国企业越来越多。据商务部统计,2002年中国对外投资仅为25亿美元,2006年中国非金融类直接对外投资为248.4亿美元,同比增长40.9%,2007年非金融类对外直接投资已 达到187.2亿美元,5年增长6.5倍。2008年非金融类直接对外投资406.5亿美元,对外非金融类直接投资同比增长63.6%, 2008年中国境内投资者工队全球112个国家和地区地1500多家境内外企业进行了直接投资,2009年前后的一两个月的时间内,中国的海外并购已有22起,涉及金额超过200亿美元,这一金额较同期上涨2%,为历史同期最高水平,这说明自2008年9月金融危机全面爆发以来,世界经济不景气,但是中国企业海外并购的热潮并未退去,国际金融危机使中国企业走出去的步伐丝毫没有减退,而是更快了,2010年中国企业进行投资的地区和国家已经达到177个,在境外设立了1.3万家企业,目前年度投资规模已经接近600亿美元。这说明在全球金融危机的背景下,中国企业能捉住机遇,更好的实施“走出去”战略,不断增强企业自身的实力和国家的综合国力,但是如何在经济全球化和竞争日益激烈化的世界中拥有自己的话语权,这是一个值得深思的问题,下面我就从几个点来分析中国企业“走出去”的原因和策略:
《报刊阅读》作业:
1.课本P148-149
第一题:What crisis did West Point undergo in recruiting its
cadets during the Vietnam War ?
During the Vietnam War, West Point was so unpopular that it
was unable to fill its class of ’72 with qualified applicants.
第二题:What have the academy critics often charged it with in
the years since the Vietnam War?
Critics in and out of uniform have repeatedly charge that too
many officers have become cautious bureaucrats, adept at Pentagon
politics perhaps, but interested more in advancing their careers than
in preparing for the brutal exigencies of combat.
第三题:What training and courses do cadets have to take? Is it a
hard and heavy load or a light one? Explain.
In the first year, cadets learn how to follow and in the next three
years, they learn how to lead. In addition to enduring military
training, parade drill and required athletics, cadets carry a heavier
than normal college course load that is long on engineering and
math.
It’s a hard and heavy load. Because they have to learn a lot, and
sleep is regarded as a luxury.

the president of the USA.

What role does Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ play? Can she play a better role
than an American president in a sense? Explain.
She is head of state not only of one small island nation,but also of
the 53 nations of the commonwealth, with a combined population of

1.What do “ comfort women” and “ comfort stations ”mean during
World War Ⅱ?
Comfort women refer to those who were force to provide sex for
Japan’s overseas soldiers.
Comfort stations are where comfort women being transported to
and where they live.
2. What are the women demanding from Japan? Why are they
unwilling to accept compensation from the private fund?
They are demanding for both compensation and an apology
from a Japanese government that claims to be contrite.
Because they are demanding official money or none at all. They
want them to recognize what they did as war crimes and admit what
happened were human-rights violations.
5. Why is Japan so stubborn in the case of the “comfort women:?
They fear that any government payments to the widely scattered
comfort women would ignite a chain reaction of lawsuits from other
Asians exploited during the war, such as slave laborers.
