2005年新浪Blog2.0的推出，使得博客一時間成為網絡虛擬世界裏的新寵，現在至少70%的網民都是博客用户，以至於眼下的時代被稱為“博客時代”。於是，有人預言：“20年內，博客必將取代圖書”，“博客時代，人們不要再讀書了”。也有人擔心：有了博客，讀書的人將越來越少。其實，這種預言是沒有根據的，這種擔心也屬杞人憂天。

首先，文藝復興包含了文學、藝術、科學、哲學、教育和宗教方面令人映像深刻的新的成就。儘管這些文化形式的基礎都來自古典主義，但它們很快繁榮起來，並擺脱了希臘、羅馬的.影響，事實上，繪畫、科學、政治和宗教上的很多成就與古典文化遺產都沒有什麼關係。其次，文藝復興包含了許多鮮明的觀點和態度，使其所處的社會呈現出獨特的風貌，大體上這些中值得注意的是樂觀主義和個人主義，但所有這些中最重要的還是人文主義。在最寬泛的意義上，人文主義可以被定義為對人的價值的強調。這個詞出自西賽羅，他曾用該詞來表達對自由藝術的投入或與人類尊嚴最一致的主題。人文主義者反對經院哲學家成天埋頭於神學和邏輯，他們努力構造一種流暢的、優美的形式，使之看起來更注意人類本性裏的美感和非理性。

答案與解析：

The Renaissance embraced, first of all, an impressive record of new achievements in art, literature, science, philosophy, education and religion. Although the foundation of many of these was classical, they soon expanded beyond the measure of Greek and Roman influence. Indeed, many of the achievements in painting, science, politics and religion bore little relation to the classical heritage. Secondly, the Renaissance incorporated a number of dominant ideas and attitudes that gave it the impress of a unique society. Notable among these in general were optimism, and individualism; but the most significant of them all was humanism. In its broadest meaning humanism may be defined as emphasis on the human values. It was a term derived from Cicero, who used it in the sense of devotion to the liberal arts, or the subjects most compatible with the dignity of man. The humanists rejected the Scholastic philosophy with its preoccupation with theology and logic. They strove for a smooth and elegant style that would appeal more to the aesthetic than to the rational side of man's nature．

自從理查德尼克松向癌症宣戰以來已經有三十年了。其間，不少專家、學者耗費巨資試圖尋找各種方法以攻克這個難題。但是今天的癌症死亡率與七十年代仍舊差不多一樣高。美國婦女中死於乳腺癌患者是世界上許多其他國家的五到三十倍。在泰國每十萬婦女中僅2至5人死於乳腺癌，而美國的婦女會有30至40人遭此厄運。就其原因，沒有人會否認其與飲食很有關係。有些科學家認為：“每天人們攝入二至三磅食物，這是我們與環境最大範圍的接觸。”因此人們必須十分重視良好的飲食習慣。雖説正確的飲食習慣不能根除世界上的癌症，但它有利於減少患癌症的風險。

答案與解析：

It has already been three decades since Richard Nixon declared fight against cancer, during which many specialists and scholars spent a large amount of money trying to seek various ways to crack this hard nut. Yet today the death rate of cancer is nearly as high as it was in the 1970s. American women's death rate of breast cancer is five to thirty times as high as that of women in many other countries of the world. In Thailand, only two to five out of every 100,000 women die of breast cancer, whereas in the United States, 30 to 40 meet that fate. Among all the reasons, no one denies that diet is a large part of the reason. Some scientists hold, “It's our greatest exposure to the environment because humans put two to three pounds of food into their bodies every day.” Hence people should place a great emphasis on good eating habits. Though the correct eating habit can't eliminate cancer in the world, it can help reduce the risk of cancer．

我感到確信的惟一堅實的科學真理是，我們對自然界知之甚少。的確，我將此看作是過去100年裏生物學的主要發現。如果我們中有人告訴18世紀啟蒙運動的先哲們，我們知道的如此之少，前面的路是多麼的迷茫，那一定令他們甚感詫異。20世紀科學對人類智慧最重要的貢獻就是使我們突然面對我們的無知，且如此之深廣。早此時候，我們要麼假裝明白事物的運作方式，要麼忽略這一問題，要麼乾脆就杜撰一些所謂的事實來添補空白。既然我們已開始認真的探索，我們隱約看到了問題如此之大，答案又是多麼得遙不可及。如果你完全無知，那麼無知本身倒不是件很壞的事情。難的是詳細地瞭解無知這一事實，發現那些無知的地方和不那麼無知的地方。

答案與解析：

The only solid pieces of scientific truth about which Ⅰ feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-had spots．

既然投機有很大的帶來損失的風險，我們可能要問為什麼還會允許進行投機呢。根本原因在於投機能在經濟發展中發揮有益的功能。由於相信價格會上漲從而買商品或期貨加快了市場均衡，並能鼓勵更多的供應商更快地進入市場。如果價格變化滯後到商品短缺真正出現時才發生，那麼價格波動很可能更為劇烈、突然。採取補救措施增加供應將刻不容緩。類似的，如果投機者預見到某商品將過剩，他們就會賣出期貨，這樣做有助於在過剩真正發生之前在一定程度上降低價格。而當投機者預見到將會出現短缺的時候，就會哄抬物價，這樣做也有助於保存當前的供給。物價上漲時，商品購買量就會變少，因為價格上漲將促使消費者節約。同樣的，物價下跌將促使消費者增加購買，這樣就有助於將正在增加的過剩商品出售出去。

答案與解析：

One might ask why speculation is permitted when there is so real a danger of loss. The basic reason is that speculation can perform useful functions in the market equilibrium and encourages faster entry of more suppliers. If the price change lagged until after an actual commodity shortage had occurred, the fluctuation would probably be sharper and more sudden. Remedial supply action could not be further delayed. Similarly, if speculators foresee a surplus in some commodity, their selling of futures will help drive the price down to some extent before the surplus actually occurs. When speculators foresee a shortage and bid up the price, they are also helping to conserve the present supply. As the price goes up, less of the commodity is purchased; a rise in price encourages users to economize. Similarly, a lowering of price encourages users to buy more, thus helping to sell the surplus which is developing．
