英美报刊选读 Lesson 13

The Decline of Neatness 行为标准的蜕化By Norman CousinsAnyone with a passion for hanging labels on people or things should have little difficulty in recognizing that an apt tag for our time is the “Unkempt Generation”. 任何一个喜欢给别人或事物贴标签的人应该不难发现我们这个时代合适的标签是“邋遢的一代”。

I am not referring solely to college kids. The sloppiness virus has spread to all sectors of society," People go to all sorts of trouble and expense to look uncombed, unshaved. unpressed.3 我说这话不仅仅是针对大学生。

邋遢这种病毒已经蔓延到社会各个部分。

人们刻意呈现一幅蓬头散发、边幅不修、衣着不整的形象。

The symbol of the times is blue jeans—not just blue jeans in good condition but jeans that are frayed, torn, discolored. They don't get that way naturally. No one wants blue jeans that are crisply clean or spanking new. 如今时代潮流的象征是穿蓝色牛仔裤--不是完好的牛仔裤，而是打磨过的，撕裂开的，和褪色了的牛仔裤。

正常穿着磨损很难达到上述效果。

没有人喜欢穿干净崭新的牛仔裤。

Manufacturers recognize a big market when they see it, and they compete with one another to offer jeans（that are made to look as though they've just been discarded by clumsy house painters after ten years of wear. ）生产商意识到这将是个潜力巨大的市场，于是展开了激烈地竞争，生产出的牛仔裤好像是笨拙的油漆工人穿了十年之后扔掉的一样。

His proposal has caused ahuge stir on campuses nationwide and rekindled long-standing arguments about the test.3.The College Board argues that SAT measures the sort of higher-order math andliterary-reasoning skills that students need to succeed in college and later in life and that the test correlates well with freshman-year college grades.4.They have adopted college admission systems based in part on class is automatically admittedto state universities.5.Their worry is that it is only a matter of time before there is pressure to scrap subject-areatests and getting rid of the SAT is the first step in a wretched direction.6.SAT I refers to the tests on higher-order math and literary-reasoning skills. Many critics thinkthe questions are confusing and verbal analogies too obscure. SAT II refers to the subject-specific achievement tests which measure knowledge in such areas as writing, math, physics, history and foreign language.7.The test debate will not die down anytime soon.Answer key for Lesson 11V.B C B A DVI.1.The insurance company has refused Lorraine Hiskey’s medical bill, because the companyclaimed that her treatment was “experimental”.2.Politicians have focused attention on the 35 million Americans who have no health coverage.3.The kind of medical care deemed experimental, unproven, unnecessery or to inappropriate isdenied coverage。

Why or why not?It is not as vulnerable as Japan’s was because Chinastill has vast reserves of cheap labor and many backward industries that can grow swiftly. 3)What warning message has been given to China about its economic situation?Economies could not prosper indefinitely and thatChinese officials should be prepared for setbacks.1) How would you compare the construction of Guangzhou Airport with that of Japan’s Osaka Airport?The Japanese managed to keep jobs and profits at home by excluding non-Japanese companies from the project, so it set off a seven-year trade battle with the U.S., and finally it lost. On the contrary, when China began to build Guangzhou Airport, it welcome multinational companies and foreign investment and this openness proved to be beneficial.2) Compared with Japan, why can China absorb foreign investment, get the advanced technology and make foreign companies adopt Chinese technical standards?Because foreign companies see clearly the potential size of China’s market and find it hard to say “no” when Chinese demand that they build factories in China, reveal the late st technology and adopt Chinese technical standards.3) Why has China’s strength in economic development affected the politics in the U.S.? Why do the Democratic presidential candidates unfairly blame the U.S. unemployment on China? Are they playing politics?China’s strength draws growing attention in American politics because the Chinese trade surplus with the United State has soared.the low exchange value of its currency, the low price of exports and its wage advantage. Yes they are, especially when the presidential campaign is under way.News Agencies in Americani. Reuter (Reuters LTD) 路透社Reuters (Reuter’s News Agency)(英国)路透社，1851年由路透创建，总部设在伦敦，是⼀家商业性通讯社。

美英报刊阅读教程Lesson13课文Lesson 13 Ban Sparks Smoking WarSleepers are mad at bar patrons, and owners are mad at city By Charisse Jones1. NEW YORK-David Rabin doesn’t do cigarettes. In fact, he can’t stand smoke.2. But the co-owner of Lotus, one of the hottest night spots in Manhattan[1], says he now spends a good part of his time fighting a law that prohibits lighting up in bars and pushes smokers onto the street.3. “This is supposed to be the city that never sleeps,” says Rabin, 42. “It’s now the city that never sleeps because smokers are huddled beneath a four-story walk-up talking. Where else are they going to go?”4. New York City is still coming to terms with smoke-free night life[2] three months after a ban took effect outlawing smoking in nearly all work-places, including restaurants and bars.5. Five states—New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine and California—have passed similar smoking restrictions that include bars and taverns. Ne w York State’ s ban, which echoes the city’ s anti-smoking law, goes into effect July 24.6. Just last week, Maine’s governor signed into law a ban on smoking in taverns, pool halls, lounges and some off-track betting[3] sites that goes into effect Jan. 1. Smoking is already outlawed in restaurants. On May 23, Connecticut’s governor signed a m easure that will prohibit smoking in cafes, taverns, restaurants and public facilities by April 2004.7. On Tuesday, Florida began a smoking ban that’s slightly less restrictive. It bans smoking in all enclosed workplaces,including restaurants and bars where food sales make up at least 10% of their business.Business is off8. New York City’s law has sparked a million “butts” jokes in the tabloids and turned celebrities such as Britney Spears into alleged scofflaws for illegally puffing away.[4] And it has stirred fear and loathing among some residents and businesses that say customers don’t want to drink and nosh where they can’ t light up.9. One New York City councilman recently called on the city and state to consider amending the anti-smoking laws—a move other city officials say is unlikely. Owners and managers of cafes and bars from Queens[5] to Manhattan say that business is off as much as 40% and that they have been forced to lay off employees. Some community representatives say noise complaints have risen since pub denizens began lighting up on the sidewalk.10. “If what I’m hearing is correct, this is having a devastating effect on the city’s economic recovery,[6]” says Queens councilman Tony Avella, who says he reluctantly voted for the ban but thinks the council should revisit the issue[7].11. His office is receiving a dozen complaints a week about litter, noise and occasional rights among smokers outside nei ghborhood bars. “We need to find out if there’s a way to preserve public health and allow people to drink and smoke at the same time,” he says.12. Those who have studied the impact of anti-smoking measures say such laws protect the health of bartenders, waitresses and patrons and also bring in customers who were reluctant to socialize where smoking was allowed.[8]13. “What the data show is that no smoke-free air acts haveever hurt business,” says Tom Frieden, New York City’ s health commissioner. He says four out of five New Yorkers do not smoke.14. In a city of apartment dwellers, where people live above restaurants and pubs, some say long-standing tensions between businesses and residents have only risen since smokers were forced to congregate outside.15. “We have found that our number of complaints have increased regarding noise on the st reet, particularly when it conies to smokers,” says Kyle Merker, chairman of one of Manhattan’s community boards. “Realistically, are they going to repeal the law? N o. But maybe we can refine it.”Earlier closing time?16. Some club owners fear that anger about the excessive noise could make it harder for businesses to get liquor licenses, or it may lead to forcing businesses to close at 2 a.m. rather than 4, which Rabin fears would make New York no different than other cities.17. “This has brought about a civil war between night life and residents, both of whom have a legitimate right to exist,”[9] says Rabin, president of the New York Nightlife Association.18. Ciar an Staunton, owner of O’Neill’s in Manhattan, says business is off 20% as former patrons head home to Connecticut or New Jersey, where they can still smoke in a bar.19. I’ve met some of my patrons coming out of liquor stores with six-packs[10] saying, “We’re going to drink where we can smoke,” he says. “The original legislation was put in to he lp employees, to provide them with clean air…. Well, we’ve laid off three employees because of the smoking ban.”20. Others note that the sour economy could be one reason some bars and restaurants may be struggling.21. “These ordinances don’t have any eff ect on the hospitality business[11], and in the long term are very positive because they expand the market,” says Stanton Glantz of the University of California San Francisco, who has studied the economic impact of smoking bans.22. On the streets of the c ity, feelings about the smoking ban are mixed, but many say there’ s no more noise than before. And they appreciate the smoke-free air inside bars.23. “The noise is relatively low, and I only mind it when I’ m trying to go to sleep because of work in the morning,” says Tracy Wallach, 20, who lives next to The Coffee Shop bar and restaurant in Union Square.24. Even some bar managers have made their peace.[12]25. “The first few weeks, (fewer) people came in,” says Barry Brodsky, manager of Bar None in the East Village, “ Then they gave in.”From USA Today, June 3, 2003。
