TranslationA burglary is reported every 15 seconds in the United States .Statistics show burglars entered more than 2 million homes last year . Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors o solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors.

Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack.

We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle.

For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine.

Though uniforms have long been a staple of private schools, they are still ararity in public schools. This is not merely a debate over the aesthetics of fashion. Rather,this debate lies at the very heart of the politics of fashion.What students choose to wear (and what their parents allow them to wear) to school consistently rouses strong feelings and animated discussion. Much has already been said in defense of and against school uniforms, and I won't belabor the individual points further. There are many valid points on both sides of the argument. Instead, I intend to explain why I personally stand in opposition to school uniforms and highlight the reasons why uniforms would serve very little purpose in our specific school district.For the most part, students in our district are well behaved and don't approach any semblance of extreme behavior or expression. Administrators seem to be more worried about a potential escalation of student expression that so far has shown no indication of materializing. Principals and other district administrators are chasing shadows—they're looking to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Our district has no history of student activism, and there are only a few examples of flagrant violations of the existing dress code. In short, there is absolutely no precedent to believe that students will choose to begin acting out against authority through fashion statements.School uniforms seem to be an inappropriate response to a nonexistent problem. It is an unnecessary exertion of power by administrators who don't know how to properly exercise authority. Let's take a moment to consider a hypothetical school district that is overwhelmed by student discipline problems. Would the institution of school uniforms be an appropriate response in that case? I would argue in the negative. Uniforms, by themselves, would in no way prevent students from expressing themselves or their views. Improper and unpopular behaviorwill not be stifled by a school uniform. It may actually make the situation worse, as resentment over the mandatory clothing would likely be great.School uniforms obviously interfere with students' right to self-expression—a right that should be protected in the public school system. In addition, mandating that all students wear identical (and unattractive) outfits enforces the message that conformity is the preferred method to prevent or resolve conflict. This is certainly not an appropriate message for our schools to be sending to children.41. This style of writing would best be described as _______.A. expositoryB. descriptiveC. narrativeD. argumentative42. Of the following, which is the most likely place you would find this article?A. Newspaper editorial.B. Academic journal.C. Fashion blog.D. Education magazine.43. According to the author, which is NOT the reason why school uniforms are a bad idea?A. They are a violation of students' rights.B. There is no justification for their use in the local district.C. They are expensive and many students can't afford them.D. They don't adequately address the problem they are intended to solve.44. In which paragraph does the author use a metaphor to describe school administrators?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.45. Based on this passage, it seems likely that the author would never _____ the use ofschool uniforms.A. suspendB. dictateC. empowerD. condone。

At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links betweenChinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.

Unit 3版权的十大神话1)如果没有版权标识,就不会受到版权保护。
这在过去是事实,但现在情况就有所不同了,几乎所有大国邮遵循伯尔尼版权协定,比如,在美国,自1989年4月1日后,几乎所有个人创作以及原创的作品,不管它是否有版权标识,都受到版权保护。
大家默认的是他人的作品已受到版权保护,不能随意复制,除非你能确信它不受版权保护:有些年代久远的作品如果没有标识,就不受到版权保护,但坦白地说如果这一点不能肯定,你就不应冒这个风险。
2)如果我没有为此收费,就不算侵权。
错。
你是否收费可能对法庭上判罚金的额度有所影响,但那只是在这一法律条文下量刑的主要区别。
即使你免费分发他人的作品,仍然是侵权。
而且如果危及到他人财产的商业价值,仍然会被罚以大额赔偿金。
个人的音乐拷贝是唯一的例外,不被列入侵权行为。
不过法庭上似乎有这种说法,个人拷贝不包括像纳帕斯特那样的大规模匿名复制行为。
如果该作品没有向业价值,侵权多是技术性的,不会受到起诉。
3)如果已被发送到世界性的新闻组网络系统(U senet)的材料,那就不受版权限制。
错。
现代社会里任何东西都要受到版权限制,除非所有者明确表示它不受版权限制。
要确定它是否受到版权限制,必须得要作者/所有者的书面证明:“我准予某某不受版权限制。
”4)我的帖子只是合理使用。
“合理使用”可以免除版权限制,它的设立使人们可以使用某些作品,而不必经过作者的同意,这些作品包括解说词、模仿诗文、新闻报道以及那些对受版权保护的著作的研究和宣传的作品。
这一规定非常重要,有了这一规定版权法就不会成为妨碍你自由地发表作品的绊脚石。
但涉及到故意侵权和损害具有商业价值的作品时就要慎重考虑了。
你做过这样的事吗?由于你自己没有时间写文章,或是为了让你的读者免受给《纽约时报》网站缴费之累,于是就从《纽约时报》上复制一篇。

For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.Unit 3I.

At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions.
