The need to

20、 do these led to many great discoveries and advances. Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could foretell (预报) when the yearly rising of the Nile would come.

In the

32、five years since its founding, the WTO has become well-known as one of the world's most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. The system of global rules for intemational trade, however, dates 1948 when the General back half a

33、century to Agreement on Tariffs (关税) and Trade (GATT) was formed after the World War II. As time went by, it became clear that the GATI" had two major drawbacks - the limited areas of trade it covered and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes. After seven years of trade talks endin

34、g in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes, and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property(知识产权) Even after seven years of talks and 225 000 pages of agreements there were still problems, especially t

Once you have invested the time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful. Te

40、chnological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effort. We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things. Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities. Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed-the com

41、puter. It extends the capabilities of our minds. Computers have saved organizations millions of dollars. Furthermore, these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected. The computer may multiply what we can do, and the return on investment is

42、 high. The growth of computer usage is surprising. On the other hand, the computer can do serious damage. Invasion of privacy (侵犯隐私),fraud (欺诈), and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples. The computer is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some acti

43、vities, but it can also cut deep into profits, personal privacy, and our society in general. How it is used is not a function of technology.

47、t to believe that all young girls in the past got married for romantic reasons; but the fact is that many of them regarded marriage as their only chance to gain independence from their parents, to have a provider, or to be assured of a good place in society. A couple of generations ago, and old maid

48、 of twenty- five did not have much to look forward to, she was more or less fated to remain with her parents or to live in some relative' s home where she would help with the chores and the children. Not so any more. In the first place, women remain young much longer than they used to, and an un

49、married woman of twenty-eight or thirty does not feel that her life is over. Besides, since she is probably working and supporting herself, she is free to marry only when and if she chooses. As a result, today's women tend (倾向) to marry later in life. They have fewer children-or none at all-if t

50、hey prefer to devote themselves to their profession. The result is decline in the birthrate. The new role that women have developed for themselves has changed family life. Children are raised differently; they spend more time with adults who are not their parents: baby sitters, day-care center perso

51、nnel, relatives, or neighbors. Whether they gain or lose in the process is a hotly debated question. Some child experts believe that young children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound in body and mind. Others think that children get more from a mother who spends wit

52、h them "quality time" (a time of fun and relaxation set aside for them) rather than hours of forced and unhappy baby sitting. And many child psychologists point out that children kept in day-care centers, every day are brighter than those raised at home. No matter what it is, one thing abo

53、ut child raising to be certain of is that the longer the child is with the mother, the better.54. It can be concluded from the passage that _. A. women today have developed a new role in family life B. the birthrate is declining as a result of women's pursuit (追求) of careersC. women have always

54、been dependent (依赖) on their parents even after marriageD. children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound55.The change in women's attitude towards marriage results in all of the following EXCEPTA. more and more women quit(leave) jobs to take care of their children at home B. women today tend to marry-later than they did C. women have less time to raise children D. more and more families remain childless第四部分
