This also provided mewith somehealthy in sights into the distinctions between these realities.Electronicmedia are having a greater impact on the people' s lives every day.People gather more and more of their impressi

14、ons from representations.Televisionand telepho ne com muni cati ons are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city.Consider the information that television bringsinto your home every day. Con sider also the con tact you have with others simply by using teleph on

15、e. These media exte nd your con scious ness and your con tact. For example, the video coverage of the 1989 San Fran cisco earthquake focused on “ live action ” such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster.Television coverage of the Iraqi Waralso deve

16、loped an immediacy.CNN reported eve nts as they happe ned. This coverage was distributed worldwide.Although most people were far away from these events, they developed someperception of these realities.In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wedn esdayeve ning in Los An ge

17、les, seem in gly fed by video coverage from helicopters. This eve nt was triggered by the verdict （ 裁定）in the Rodney King beati ng. We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgme nts, and most people, who had see n the video of this beat i

The televisionshowedthousands of people marching with banners and cleaningtools. Because of that, many mo

The real healing, of course, will take muchIon ger, but electr onic media will con ti nue to be a part of that process.（ 455words ）21. The best title for the passage is.A.

Most physicians have a con tract relati on ship with one or more hospitals in t

26、he com muni ty. They send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities (operati ng room, tests, medic in es) that they use. Somehospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veterans' hospitals, a federal go

27、ver nment age ncy. Others are operated by religious order or other non profit.Somemedical doctors are on salary groups. Salaried physicia ns mayworkas hospital staff members, or residents, who are often still in training. They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporatio ns to care for their

28、 workers or work for the federal gover nmen t's Public Health Service.Physicia ns are among the best paid professi on als in the Un ited States. In the1980s, it was not un commorfor medical doctors to earn in comes of more tha n$ 100,000a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn seve

29、ral times that amount. Physicians listmanyreasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work.One reas on is the long and expe nsive preparati on required to become a physicia n in the United States. Most would-be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $ 20,

30、000 a year at one of the best private institutions-Prospective physicia ns the n atte nd medical school for four years. Tuiti on alone can exceed $ 10,000 a year. By the time they have obta ined their medical degrees, many young physicians are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of r

31、esidency in a hospital, the first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buyi

32、ng equipment. These physicians also take care of each other's patients in emergencies.Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility.Manymedical procedures, even quite routine ones invoIve risk. It is understandable that physicianswant to be well rewarded for making de

33、cisions which can mean thedifferenee between life and death.( 382 )26.

38、ces, that it is not eve nquestioned. There are countries where the white manimposes his rule by brute force ； there are coun tries where the black man protests by setti ng fire to cities and by looting and pillaging.Important people on both sides , who would in other respectsappear to be reas on abl

39、e men, get up and calmly argue in favor of viole nee as ifit were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening , whatreally fills you with despair , is the realization that when it comesto the crunch , we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties in stead

40、 of war-pa int , but our in sti nets rema in basically un cha nged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race , that tedious documentation of violenee, has taughtus absolutely nothing. Wehave still not learnt that violenee never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, t

41、he bloodshed , the suffering meannothing. No solutionever comes to light the morning after when we dismallyeon template the smok ing ruins and won der what hit us.The truly reas on able menwho know where the soluti ons lie are finding it harder and herder to get a heari ng. They are despised, mistru

42、sted and eve n persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such appare ntly outrageous things as lawen forceme nt. If half the en ergy that goes into viole nt acts were put to good use,if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improvingliving-standards and providin

43、g education and employment for all, we would havegone a long way to arriv ing at a solutio n. Our stre ngth is sapped by hav ing to mopup the mess that violenee leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort , it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social program. The ben efitst

44、hat can be derived from constructivesolutions are everywhere apparent in the worldaround us. Genuine and last ing solutio ns are always possible, provid ing we workwithin the framework of the law.Before we can eve n beg in to con template peaceful co-existe nee betwee n theraces , we must appreciate

45、 each other's problems. And to do this, we must learnabout them： it is a simple exercise in com muni cati on , in excha nging in formati on.“ Talk , talk , talk ，” the advocates of violenee say,“all you ever do is talk ,and we are none the wiser. ” It's rather like the story of the famous ba

46、rrister who pain stak in gly expla ined his case to the judge. After liste ning to a len gthy argume nt the judge compla ined that after all this talk, he was none the wiser.“Possible , my lord，” the barrister replied ,“none the wiser , but surely farbetter in formed. ” Kno wledge is the n ecessary

47、prerequisite to wisdom： the kno wledge that viole nee creates the evils it prete nds to solve.31. What is the best title for this passage?A. Advocati ng Viole nee.B. Viole nee Can Do Nothi ng to Dimi nish Race Prejudice.C. Important People on Both Sides See Violence As a Legitimate Solution.D. The I

He gains no thi ng after liste ning.D. He makes no sense of the argume nt.35. Accord ing the author the best way to solve

Mopp ing up the viole nt mess.Passage 4In 1985 whe n a Japa n Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its preside nt, YasumotoTakagi, called each victim ' s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, whe n a subs

51、idiary of Toshiba sold sen sitive military tech no logy to the former Soviet Union, the chairma n of Toshiba gave up his post.These executiveactions,which Toshiba calls “the highest form ofapology, ” may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have bee n

52、 caused by a faulty Boe ing repair.The differe nee betwee n the two bus in ess cultures cen ters around differe ntdefinitions of delegation.While US executives give both responsibilityandauthority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority- theresp on sibility is still their. Al

53、though the subsidiary that sold the sen sitive tech no logy to the Soviets had its own man ageme nt, the Toshiba top executives said they “ must take personal responsibilityfor not creating an atmosphere throughoutthe Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable,even in anin depe nden tly

54、 run subsidiary. ”Such accepta nee of com mun ity resp on sibilityis not unique to bus in esses inJapan. School principals in Japan have resigned whentheir students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibilityin oth

55、er ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a compa ny gets in to fi nan cial trouble. Such pers onal sacrifices, eve n if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of com munity and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japa nese way of doing bus in ess.Harvard Bus in ess School prof

56、essor George Lodge calls the ritualaccepta neeof blame “almost a feudal （圭寸建的）way of purging （清除）the community of dishonor, ” and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both bus in ess and gover nmen tal leaders seem particularly good at evad ing r

57、esp on sibility, many US man agers would probably welcome an in fusi on（灌输）of the Japanese , US automobile company executives offered to reduce their own salaries before they asked their workers to take pay cuts, n egotiati ons would probably take on a very differe nt character.（ 341 ）36. Why did the chairma n of Toshiba resig n his positi on in 1987?A. I n Japa n, the leakage of a state secret to Russia ns is a grave crime.B.
