Whenever we visit a terminally ill patient, we cannot help being struck by his eagerness to know the truth about his condition. He does not only suffer from his
illness, but also from the anxiety about its potential outcome. Although telling him the truth may risk destroying his hope, so that he may deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide, a dying person has the right to know his condition and to make informed choice concerning his own health.

30．第22题
邀请名人做广告，只要商品确实是货真价实，名人又愿意，这应该是广告技巧的上策，会产生很强的名人效应。但是商品质量差，广告又言过其实，又请名人做广告，这种广告一时也许会有一些好的影响，但最终是砸了自己的牌子，也坍了名人台，影响名人的声誉。因此，名人在接广告时，要慎之又慎。
答案:To invite those eminent people to help make advertisements should be regarded as one of the best advertisement strategies and could, of course, produce a spectacular VIP effect, so to speak, provided that those eminent persons are perfectly willing to accept the invitation and, more importantly, the commodities to be advertised are genuine and their prices fair. Sometimes, while a commodity is of inferior quality, the advertisement is full of lavishing praise on it, if under such a circumstance, an eminent person comes to help make the advertisement, the advertisement could, if anything, be temporarily successful before it turns the brand of the commodity in question notorious and, more disastrously, ruins the reputation of the eminent person thereafter. It is precisely for this reason that the eminent persons are well advised to think more than twice before he/she agrees to appear on a commercial.
我们国家人民的聪明才智在过去绝大多数时间里是没人能与之匹敌的。具有讽刺意义的是正是我们这种聪明才智却帮助了其他国家繁荣发达起来，再反过来威胁我们国家的经
济和科技的发展。从爱国心来说谁也不会对这个事实感到舒服：那些早年出国留洋学习的人现在回来了，代表外国同我们在几乎每个领域里展开激烈的竞争，并在许多情况下，打败了我们。
答案:Our intellectual prowess over most of the period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our economic and scientific growth. No one is patriotically comfortable with the fact that those who went to study overseas a few years ago have returned to compete fiercely with us—and in mot cases defeat us—in almost all fields on behalf of foreign countries.
退休煤矿工人张师傅今年年初买了四只小鸡。有一天发现丢了一只，气得一个劲地埋怨老伴。傍晚，有一只小鸡突然从门外进来，随后邻居王某跟进院来，抓起小鸡就走。张老太哪里肯放。双方争吵起来。原来王某年初也买了两只小鸡，最近丢了一只。这时，另一个姓李的邻居过来了解情况。他将有争议的小鸡从两家中间撒出去。这只鸡怎么赶也不去王家，直向张家的鸡群跑去。张师傅叫了声“鸡鸡鸡”，他养的小鸡，连同有争议的那只，争先恐后地跑到他的脚下。王某无话可说，当场认错，一场小鸡风波平息了。
答案:Mr. Zhang, a retired miner, bought four chicks early this year. One day, he found one of them missing. He got so angry that he kept blaming his wife for it all the time. Towards evening, into his yard came a chick, followed by his neighbor Wang, who ran to catch the chick. Naturally Zhang’s wife wouldn’t let him go with the chick, and so a quarrel ensued. It turned out that Wang had also lost one of his two chicks recently, which he bought nearly the same time as Mr. Zhang did. Their quarrel drew another neighbor Lee to the yard to see what was happening. Having
heard the story, he put the chick somewhere between their homes and let it off. The chick went straight to join Zhang’s flock and kept returning whenever it was driven to Wang’s home. And at Zhang’s call “chick, chick”, all the chicks including the one in question recede in response to him. Wang had no more to say but made an immediate apology. Thus ended the quarrel over a chick.
The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation
答案:.随着国际贸易和海外投资的增加，需要培训出一批既懂外语又有跨文化交流技巧的管理人才。然而，美国人在这两方面都未得到良好的训练，因此没有在国际谈判中象他们的外国对手那么成功。谈判是为了达成协议而反复交流的过程。它包括说服和妥协。但是为了说服别人和做出妥协，谈判者必须懂得在谈判的文化中怎样说服别人和怎样达成妥协。
45．第40题
人们可能不会忘记那些日子，当时政府把许多国营企业私有化，砍掉了曾负责一个人生老病死的庞大的社会福利体制。工厂生产出大量劣质高价的产品，许多房子纷纷出售给私人。政府的开支和工资的大幅度增长使得通货膨胀失去了控制，最高时达到了近27%这个处于崩溃的比率。
答案:
One may probably not forget the days when the government privatized many state-owned industries and destroyed the big welfare apparatus which once cushioned everyone “from the cradle to the grave.” Factories turned out shoddy and overpriced items. Many houses went private. Government spending and huge wage increases fueled runaway inflation which peaked at a crushing rate of nearly 27 percent.

4. 中国国画的根源可以追溯到新石器时代的陶器(Neolithic pottery)，比如鱼、青蛙、鹿、鸟、花、树叶的形状。最早的中国汉字是象形文字(pictograph)。由于相似的工具被使用于最早期的绘画和书写，绘画被认为是与书法(calligraphy)有着相同的起源。这样一来，中国国画就有着一种非凡的特征，也就是说，诗意和书法被印刻(inscribe)在画中，从而三者合为一体，给人们一种更加强烈的美的享受。
The roots of Chinese painting can be traced back to the paintings on Neolithic pottery, such us figures of fish, frogs, deer, birds, flowers and tree leaves. The earliest Chinese characters are pictographs. As the similar tools are used in the earliest paintings and writings, painting is considered to have the same origin with calligraphy. Thus, the Chinese painting has its own special feature, that is to say, poetry and calligraphy are inscribed in the paintings so that the three are integrated, leaving people to enjoy a strong sense of beauty.
5. 京剧是中国的国粹。作为一门古老的艺术，京剧的服装、脸谱(facial mask)更易被人喜爱。不同的服装 类型反映不同的人物身份特征。富贵者的服装缀满精美的刺绣;穷困 者的服装则简单朴素，少有装饰。脸谱是京剧中塑造人物 形象的重要手段，它是用不同的颜色在脸上勾画出来的。脸谱的颜 色让人一看便知角色的善恶。比如白色代表奸诈， 黑色代表正直不阿，黄色是骁勇，蓝、绿色多用于绿林好汉，金、银色多用于神佛等。
Beijing Opera is the cream of the Chinese culture. As a traditional art form, its costumes and facial mask are more popular with people. Different styles of costumes are used to reflect the status of different characters. There are more decorations in the costumes of nobles，while those of the poor tend to be simple and less elemental. Facial masks can reflect qualities of different characters. Facial masks using different colors are important ways to portray a character. People can tell a hero from a villain by the colors of the masks. In general，white usually represents treachery, black represents righteousness, yellow represents bravery, blue and green represent rebellious fighters，while gold and silver represent divinity and Buddhism.

It aims to use the historic symbol of the ancient Silk Road, raise the flag of peace and development, and develop the economic partnership with nations along the line positively, in order to build a community of interests with trustful politics, integrated economy and inclusive culture, a community with a shared future, a
community with common responsibilities.
脍炙人口的传统京剧《白蛇传》演的是一个流传于明朝的故事。主题是妇女反抗封建统治。故事讲的是一个女子如何为了医治她穷书生的丈夫的病，四处寻找药草。在这充满传奇的寻找药草过程中，她是如何克服种种障碍，打败敌人的。

It tells of a woman’s search for the medicinal herb which can cure sick husband, a poor scholar. Her epic journey involves overcoming obstacles and defeating enemies.
5.In empty-shell marriages the spouses feel no strong attachments to each other. Outside pressures keep the marriage together. Such outside pressures include business reasons, investment reasons and outward appearances. In addition, a couple may believe that ending the marriage would harm the children or that getting a divorce would be morally wrong.
Three types of empty-shell marriages have been identified. In a devitalized relationship husband and wife lack excitement or any real interest in their spouse or their marriage. Boredom and apathy characterize this marriage. Yet serious arguments are rare. In a conflict-habituated relationship husband and wife frequently quarrel in private. They may also quarrel in public or put up a facade of being compatible. The relationship is characterized by constant conflict, tension, and bitterness. And in a passive-congenial relationship both
partners are not happy, but are content with their lives and generally feel adequate. The partners may have some interests in common, but these interests are generally insignificant. This type of relationship generally has little overt conflict. 空壳婚姻的配偶双方之间没有很强的依恋感。婚姻的维系依靠种种外界压力，包括事务原因、资产原因以及面子问题。此外，夫妻双方可能认为终止婚姻会殃及孩子，或者认为离婚就是道德败坏。
空壳婚姻有三种类型。一种是死气沉沉的婚姻：在这种婚姻关系中夫妻俩对于配偶或婚姻缺乏激情，或者缺乏真正的兴趣。厌倦冷漠是这种婚姻的特点，但很少有激烈的争吵。第二种是争吵成习的婚姻：在这种婚姻关系中夫妻之间私下里经常争吵，在公开场合也会争吵，或者也会表面上装得和睦相处。这种婚姻关系的特点是冲突不断、关系紧张、怨恨不已。第三种是消极契合的婚姻：这种婚姻关系的双方都不幸福，但生活上满足，通常感到差强人意。双方可能有一些共同兴趣，但这种兴趣一般微不足道。这种婚姻关系通常很少发生公开的冲突
