A.調(diào)查大腦體積和智力的研究人員稱,他們的研究提供的證據(jù)表明,接受教育能保護智力免受大腦自然衰退的影響。
大腦隨著年齡的增長而萎縮是眾所周知的事實,但是這對智力方面的影響卻 因人而異。有趣的是,一項有關老年人的研究表明,實際上接受過較多教育的人 大腦萎縮得較多。這項研究成果表明的是,接受過教育的人在大腦功能開始崩潰 之前更能經(jīng)受得住大腦組織的喪失。
據(jù)研究人員說,這份發(fā)表在7 月份的《神經(jīng)病學》雜志上的研究報告第一次 提供了生物學上的證據(jù)來支持“儲備”假說,即接受過較多教育的人在大腦衰老 時擁有更大的認識上的儲備可以利用;實際上這部分人的大腦中有更多的腦組織 處于閑置狀態(tài)。
研究人員對320 名年齡在66 歲到90 歲的身體健康的男子和女子的腦部掃描 X 光片研究后發(fā)現(xiàn),受試者的受教育經(jīng)歷每多一年,其大腦外層叫做腦皮層的部 位就多一份萎縮。然而,所有受試者的認知能力和記憶力的測試分數(shù)均在正常范 圍以內(nèi)。
人的一生應該不斷地努力,通過新的生活體驗使大腦處于警覺狀態(tài)。旅游是刺激 大腦的一種方法,較少冒險性的方法是玩拼字游戲.教育是怎樣影響腦細胞的尚不清楚。研究人員在報告中推測,接受過較多教 育的人大腦的某些比腦皮層更深層次的結構可能完好無損,從而彌補了腦皮層萎 縮帶來的損失。
第五章第一段課后
The term profit in economics has a very precise meaning.Economists, however, often loosely refer to “good deals” or profitable ventures with no risk as profit opportunities.Using the term loosely, a profit opportunity exists at the toll booths in one line is shorter than the others.The general view of economics is that profit opportunities are rare.At any one time there are many people searching for such opportunities, and as a consequence few exist.At toll booths it is seldom the case that one line is substantially shorter than the others
經(jīng)濟學術語的利潤有著非常精確的意思。然而,經(jīng)濟學家們經(jīng)常很寬松地將其視為利潤機會,從而解釋為“好交易”或“沒有風險且有利潤的商業(yè)冒險”。寬松地使用這一術語,那些排隊比其他收費亭短的收費亭就會視為是一個利潤機會。經(jīng)濟學一般觀點認為利潤機會是很少的。任何時候都會有很多的人去尋求這樣的機會,結果是(這種機會)很少存在。比如收費亭的例子,很少有排隊隊伍實質(zhì)上會比其他的收費亭短的。
第六章第一段課后翻譯
:Thanks to the means of modern transportation and communication,the world is getting smaller and smaller.The whole world community appears to be no more than a large global village,where the residents come together with different cultural backgrounds and values.While experiencing the inevitable cultural exchanges as well as cultural clashes,the “villagers”seek to live in harmony.多虧了現(xiàn)代交通與通訊工具,這個世界正變得越來越小。整個世界似乎和一個地球村一樣小,這個村莊里有不同的文化背景和價值觀的居民都聚集在一起。在經(jīng)歷這種不可避免的文化交流也是文化沖擊的過程中,這些“村民”追求著和諧共處。

第五篇:21世紀工程碩士研究生英語綜合教程(下冊)第六課
第六課:環(huán)保 1.目前,在文明的社會中,對環(huán)境的敏感性和對諸如民主的信仰一樣是一種不可或缺的態(tài)度。但是既然從 泰德.特納到喬治.布什,從美國道化學公司到埃克森公司,每個人都聲稱自己熱愛地球,在這么多以環(huán)境名 義提出的相互矛盾的建議,約束,提案規(guī)章制度,法律法規(guī)中,我們該如何選取呢?選而易見,不是冠以 環(huán)境名義的每項建議都值得去嘗試。我們究竟該如何選擇? 2.這里有一種簡便的方法,首先,要區(qū)分什么是保護環(huán)境的奢侈品,什么是保護環(huán)境的必需品。奢侈的東 西是那些不需要付出什么代價而能夠擁有就好的東西。必需品是我們無論如何都必須要擁有的東西。其次,應用一條規(guī)則,我們可以稱它為一個理智的環(huán)保主義的的基本公理:與直接威脅人類身體健康和安全的生 態(tài)變化的斗爭是環(huán)保的必需品。而其他的都是奢侈的行為。3.例如,保護大氣層---阻止臭氧層的破壞和溫室效應是一種環(huán)保的必須行為。據(jù)四月的科學報告說臭氧層 的破壞程度比我們先前認為的要嚴重得多。臭氧層的破壞不僅可以直接導致皮膚癌,而且還危害浮游生物,這些浮游生物位于一個食物鏈的起點,而位于食物鏈另一端,最上層的則是人類。4.對溫室效應的現(xiàn)實影響更多是推測性的,不過它可能的后果卻更加有毀滅性: 冰川融化,海岸線被淹沒,氣候被破壞,土地干涸,最終,食物消失殆盡,美國中西部地區(qū)的糧食供養(yǎng)著全世界。難道我們愿意看到 衣阿華州變成新墨西哥州的沙漠氣候,西伯利亞變成衣阿華州嗎? 5.臭氧的耗盡 和溫室效應是人類的災難。這些碰巧在自然界里發(fā)生。但是他們非常緊急,因為他們直接威 脅到人類。明智的環(huán)保主義---唯一能贏取廣泛的公眾支持的環(huán)保主張--首先要強調(diào)自然是服務于人類的。明智的環(huán)保主張是完全以人類為中心的。它敦促人類保護環(huán)境。但是應以人類的自我保護為基礎。6.明智的環(huán)保主張并不是對地球的感情用事。它并不要求人類為了其他生物而做出犧牲。畢竟,要求人們 為了其他人做出犧牲也很難。(想想公眾對外援和福利的強烈抵觸吧)7.當然,人類中心說與當代環(huán)保主義的宗旨是相對立的,后者對地球的崇拜已經(jīng)到了偶像崇拜的地步了,一個科學理論(蓋婭理論)聲稱地球?qū)嶋H上是一個活的生命體。這種環(huán)保主義喜歡把自己看成是神圣的。其實他只不過是感情用事而已。比如,在自然是否友善的問題上,當代環(huán)保主義采用了高度片面地看問題 的態(tài)度。四月份龍卷風肆虐堪薩斯州和五月的颶風大作粉碎了我對自然的崇拜。那場颶風造成 125,000 多 孟加拉國人的死亡,
