150 "Because of television and worldwide computer connections, people can now become familiar with a great many places that they have never visited. As a result, tourism will soon become obsolete." [05/47; 06/5]
由于电视和全球范围内的计算机网络,人们现在可以熟悉很多以前从未涉足过的地方。其结果就是使得旅游变得过时了。(旅游将会被淘汰,技术进步对人类社会的影响之旅游)
总体不会 但Vary case to case 这儿要看旅游的purpose 是什么了
1. Gather information:
比如:商业,做市场调查market research,了解别的地区经济状况economic situation ,demographic of population, residents’ living style /habits,
2. communication
比如:商务会议business conference ,teleconferencing电话会议,
比如:探望亲戚 visit
以上两者的目的都不是tour 不是为地方而来,而是为事件
3.真正的风景:
比如:Great Wall 看和走
走了一天累死,才体会伟大 delights
除了视听的其他感官:和当地交流,自己行走,拍照片,吃当地小吃special local food
Instead, it is about sensory experience--seeing and heating firsthand, even touching and smelling.
4. 离开工作的休息:
比如:Julie Delphy 同学说的 自己一个人静下来 听不懂的语言 没有广告和媒体
以上两者TV和C就不能提供
且,对总体tour,他们促进promote / In fact, computer connectivity might actually provide a boon for tourism.
5.介绍introduce很多地方,给人兴趣
The more reasonable conclusion is that television has actually served to spark our interest in visiting other places.
6.预定方便,价格便宜:
Book, prearrange; Internet price competition
比如:青年旅馆;飞机票
总结:For nearly a half-century we have been peering through our television sets at other countries and cultures; yet tourism is as popular today as ever. In fact, tourism has been increasing sharply during the last decade,

70 "In any profession -- business, politics, education, government -- those in power should step down after five years. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership." [05/18; 06/4]
在任何领域,商业、政治、教育、政府,掌权者都应该在5年任期后下台。对任何事业而言,取得成功最保险的途径就是聘用新生力量担当领导。

136 "The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare." [05/31; 06/3]
没有选择的情况少之又少。
完全同意:
1。我们没有胆量去选择risk,我们害怕选择的坏下场:
比如:《日出前》那一段经典
因为对稳定,安定,确定的追求,而放弃很多选择
2。人们的习惯不愿改变现状态《奶酪》,突破常规
比如:人们抱怨中国教育很差有问题,学生压力。。有人辍学,写书;有人自己教,10岁考大学;有人辍学,14岁做IT
3。我们没有想到,只有想不到,没有做不到;我们思维的框框把我们限制了。人的意志,性格:
比如:有人伤残后,沉沦,觉得死路;有人做FLASH,有人写书

221 "The chief benefit of the study of history is to break down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history." [05/20; 06/0]
研究历史最明显的好处就是消除了这样的错觉,某个时代的人们与历史上另一个时代的人们有重大的差别

121 "At various times in the geological past, many species have become extinct as a result of natural, rather than human, processes. Thus, there is no justification for society to make extraordinary efforts, especially at a great cost in money and jobs, to save endangered species." [05/23; 06/6]
在过去不同的地质时期,很多物种的灭绝都是自然因素造成,而并非人类行为。所以,社会没有理由花费很大的人力物力去拯救濒临灭绝的物种。
不太同意:虽然进化论,我们也能力有限,但我们要尽可能
1。承认:
1)大多是自然淘汰,进化
Darwinian argument that extinction results from the inexorable process of so-called “natural selection” in which stronger species survive while weaker ones do not.
2)太多,超越我们能力范围
经济,面对更重要的社会问题,灾难,
中转:虽然同意不要”extinct”,但是要” I shall do what I can insofar as I am able.” As long as possible?
2。尽可能保护:
1)现在的很多是人为的,已经不是自然现象,natural selection,而是human-selection
比如:油倾
比如:工业化,森林过度砍伐
这些不是自然淘汰,是人为的改变环境。如果不避免和,那么
比如:破坏臭氧层,改变人类环境,人无动于衷,人类早晚要灭绝
2)生态多样性,生物链:
The animal kingdom is an intricate matrix of interdependent relationships, in which each species depends on many others for its survival. Severing certain relationships, such as that between a predator and its natural prey, can set into motion a series of extinctions that ultimately might endanger our own survival as a species.
3)为后代,为旅游,自己有好处:
比如:熊猫 四川卧龙保护区 一为后代;二为国家宝贝;三也促进旅游

160 "The most essential quality of an effective leader is the ability to remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives. Any leader who is quickly and easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion will accomplish little." [05/29; 06/5]
有效力的领导者最本质的品质就是对特定原则和目标的坚持。任何领导者,如果他很容易受到流行观点的影响,那他就一事无成。

177 "The study of an academic discipline alters the way we perceive the world. After studying the discipline, we see the same world as before, but with different eyes." [05/38; 06/0]
对于一门学科的研究会改变我们对世界的看法。在学习这门学科之后,我们看到的世界一如既往,但是我们本身的角度和眼光已然不同。(知识对于人类的影响)
正面:
1,专业学习让认掌握认识世界的技能,从而改变认识世界的方式。
2,专业学习积累认识世界的理论依据,通过对世界的客观规则做出抽象而改变认识世界的方式。
3,专业学习培养人们的思维能力,从而改变认识世界的方式。
反面观点一:
1,角度在变,世界不变么?
2,对于“The way we perceive the word”并没有一个明确的定义,这种理解因为是主观的,精神上的,所以它是否改变并不取决于知识的改变,相反,它却能决定人们接受知识的方式。

26 "Most people would agree that buildings represent a valuable record of any society's past, but controversy arises when old buildings stand on ground that modern planners feel could be better used for modern purposes. In such situations, modern development should be given precedence over the preservation of historic buildings so that contemporary needs can be served." [05/18; 06/3]
很多人认为建筑代表了一个社会过去的历史价值,但是当现代城市的规划者想要利用老建筑占用的地盘做新的规划时,就会引起很多争辩。在这样的情况下,现代的发展应该优先被考虑,以使当代的需要得到满足。

159 "The human mind will always be superior to machines because machines are only tools of human minds." [05/28; 06/0]
人类的智慧将总是高于机器,因为机器只是人类智慧的工具。技术进步对人类社会的影响(类似于影响和决定人类传统)
1。人比机器强:机器是工具,没有智力和情感,需要人控制
2。机器比人强:机器的运算能力,机器的感觉能力,机器的控制能力
比如:地震预报forecast / prediction, earthquake;
Can hear the sound below 20HZ which human is not sensitive to.
Manage a whole system containing innumerable computers and staff.
3.有一天机器会有情感和智力,emotion and intelligence

99 "In any realm of life -- whether academic, social, business, or political -- the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of view. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, more immediate options." [05/22; 06/0]
在生活的各个领域,不管是学术、社交、商业或政治,要想成功,只能靠实际而并非理想化的观点。注重成效的行为确保了生存,而理想化的观点倾向于被更简单、更直接的观点取代。

31. "Money spent on research is almost always a good investment, even when the results of that research are controversial." [05/18; 06/6]
花在研究上的资金基本上都是不错的投资,即使研究的结果是有争议的。(现实和理想)
不太同意
1。当然研究总是好的:
1)通常发现是偶然的:比如 伏兰明,科学家不一定知道能做出什么,但尝试中会带来大意外
2)争议可能来自各自的利益,和短见:
比如解决当前社会问题pressing social problem和探索外太空explore the outer space是同等重要
2。但是有些问题:
1)有些结果是可以预期的坏:
比如基因克隆,是否需要继续
比如 核武器,日本广岛 目的就是增强军事,国家战争,当然保证自己国家稳定,但潜在对他国和地球的危害
比如 生化武器,拿生物和人类做实验,是否good investment了
2)当资源有限时,要决定先后priority:
比如社会问题非常严重,那么对外太空需要放一放;先解决immediate problem
