Have you ever heard people say that they tend to be more of a right-brain or left-brain thinker?From books to television programs, you have probably heard the term (1)(mentioned) numerous times, or perhaps you have even taken an online test to (2)(determine) which type best describes you.

l?In some urban centers,?workaholism（工作狂）is so common that people do not consider it unusual: They accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D. C. for example，1)G frequently?work 60 to 70 hours a week. They don’t do this because they have to；they do it because they want to.

在一些城市中心，工作狂現(xiàn)象非常普遍，以至于人們并不認(rèn)為它不尋常:他們認(rèn)為這種生活方式是正常的。以華盛頓特區(qū)的政府工作人員為例，他們經(jīng)常每周工作60至70小時。他們這樣做不是因為他們必須這樣做;他們這么做是因為他們想這么做。

l?Workaholism can be a serious problem. True workaholics,?being deeply?2)I immersed?in their work, allow themselves little or no time to take breaks. They like to work without being?3)E disrupted, and they probably don’t know how to relax.

工作狂可能是一個嚴(yán)重的問題。真正的工作狂完全沉浸在工作中，很少或根本沒有休息的時間。他們喜歡工作時不受干擾，而且他們可能不知道如何放松。

l?But Is workaholism always bad？?Perhaps not. There are people who work well under?4)A stress. Besides, some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest n their own?5)H sphere. Their work is so?pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the same thing. Their work?6)N challenges?them keeping them busy and genuinely engaged.

但是工作狂總是不好的嗎?也許不是。有些人能在壓力下工作得很好。此外，一些研究顯示，許多工作狂在自己的工作領(lǐng)域中精力充沛、興趣盎然。他們的工作非常愉快，他們實際上非常高興。對于大多數(shù)工作狂來說，工作和娛樂是一回事。他們的工作挑戰(zhàn)著他們，讓他們保持忙碌并真正投入。

l?Why do workaholics enjoy doing their jobs so much?Of course they get Paychecks from it but it is hard to?7)B quantify?the pleasure with money. It offers more than?8)O financial?security. Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity and provides them with self-confidence. People have a feeling of satisfaction when they?9)K administrate?a business well or complete a challenging piece of work. In addition, most Jobs Provide a socially acceptable way for people to meet others.So, though some people are compulsive（強迫性的）about their work, their?10)L addiction?seems to be a safe or even an advantageous one.They feel empty and incomplete when they are involved in activities not related to work.

為什么工作狂如此喜歡自己的工作?當(dāng)然，他們從中得到薪水，但很難用金錢來量化這種快樂。它提供的不僅僅是財務(wù)上的保障。心理學(xué)家稱，工作給人一種身份認(rèn)同，給人以自信。當(dāng)人們把事業(yè)管理得很好或完成一項具有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作時，會有一種滿足感。此外，大多數(shù)工作為人們提供了一種社會可接受的認(rèn)識他人的方式。因此，盡管有些人對他們的工作有強迫癥(迫性)，但他們的上癮似乎是安全的，甚至是有利的。當(dāng)他們參與與工作無關(guān)的活動時，他們會感到空虛和不完整。

A large (4) (proportion) of the earth's surface — like deserts — is not suitable for cultivation, and other areas are (5) (utilized) by humans for roads and buildings. Some land that is rich in biodiversity needs to be preserved and thus should not be (6) (converted) into arable land.

Efficient and (9) (sane) use of land will be key to preserving natural animal and plant habitats.

If these methods are successfully applied, we believe that agriculture and biodiversity can coexist in harmony.

有效而合理地利用土地將是保護自然動植物棲息地的關(guān)鍵。實現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)將在很大程度上取決于現(xiàn)代農(nóng)業(yè)方法的使用。如果這些方法被成功應(yīng)用，我們相信農(nóng)業(yè)和生物多樣性可以和諧共存。

To invest in women's education and health is important for the overall welfare of the human society. The reason for saying so is obvious, that is, women are playing important roles in modem society. The politicians who levy taxes should know that women contribute to 40 percent of the world's production in agriculture, a quarter in industry, and a third in services. Women farmers in the developing countries grow at least 50 percent of the world's food. In addition to ?generating income women continue to take responsibilities for household activities such as childcare, cleaning and preparing food, which are sometimes not as lightweight and easy as generally thought.

投資于婦女的教育和健康對人類社會的整體福利至關(guān)重要。原因是顯而易見的，那就是女性在現(xiàn)代社會中扮演著重要的角色。征稅的政客們應(yīng)該知道，婦女在世界農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)中貢獻了40%，在工業(yè)中貢獻了四分之一，在服務(wù)業(yè)中貢獻了三分之一。發(fā)展中國家的女性農(nóng)民種植了至少50%的世界糧食。除了創(chuàng)造收入外，婦女繼續(xù)承擔(dān)家庭活動的責(zé)任，如照顧孩子，清潔和準(zhǔn)備食物，有時并不像通常認(rèn)為的那樣輕巧和容易。

Yet women's productivity remains low. Improving women's productivity can greatly benefit economic growth and poverty reduction , which are key development goals around the world. Hence, to enhance womens status is a vital part of the World Bank's strategy for broadly based economic and human resource development.

然而，女性的生產(chǎn)力仍然很低。提高婦女的生產(chǎn)力可以大大有利于經(jīng)濟增長和減貧，這是世界各地的關(guān)鍵發(fā)展目標(biāo)。因此，提高婦女地位是世界銀行基礎(chǔ)廣泛的經(jīng)濟和人力資源開發(fā)戰(zhàn)略的一個重要組成部分。

To improve women's welfare calls for the efforts of both women and men. If long-term change in the conditions of women is to be achieved , the actions and attitudes of men must change, rather than simply to emancipate women from old conventions. Problems affecting women are often closely related to the social ?relationships between men and women. For example, it is impossible to deal with women's health problems effectively through approaches that involve only women. Many women's health problems are embedded in unequal gender relation in work loads, responsibilities for family welfare, as well as access to resources and decision-making.

改善婦女福利，需要男女共同努力。如果要實現(xiàn)婦女條件的長期改變，男子的行動和態(tài)度就必須改變，而不是簡單地把婦女從舊習(xí)俗中解放出來。影響婦女的問題往往與男女之間的社會關(guān)系密切相關(guān)。例如，不可能通過只涉及婦女的辦法有效地處理婦女的健康問題。許多婦女的健康問題都與工作負(fù)荷、家庭福利責(zé)任以及獲得資源和決策機會等方面不平等的性別關(guān)系有關(guān)。

No one really knows how many birds die each year as a result of the growing wind power industry. Most studies focus on only one or two wind farms. Yet, published studies suggest that wind farms 6)vary considerably in the risk they pose to birds. Some wind turbines don't appear to kill any birds, while others are believed to kill as many as 40 birds per turbine per year. Though these reports tell us 7)little about the total number of birds killed, do tell us that steps can be taken when constructing wind power turbines to 8)minimize their impact on birds. For example, wind farms should not be built on bird migration routes. Wind turbines should be erected in ways to avoid 9)locating blades at a height where birds tend to fly. Wind towers should be 10)designed carefully to prevent birds from sitting or resting on them.

沒有人真正知道每年有多少只鳥因為風(fēng)力發(fā)電產(chǎn)業(yè)的發(fā)展而死亡。大多數(shù)研究只關(guān)注一兩個風(fēng)電場。然而，已發(fā)表的研究表明，風(fēng)力發(fā)電場對鳥類造成的風(fēng)險差別很大。一些風(fēng)力渦輪機似乎不會殺死任何鳥類，而另一些渦輪機則被認(rèn)為每年殺死多達40只鳥類。雖然這些報告幾乎沒有告訴我們鳥類死亡的總數(shù)，但確實告訴我們，在建造風(fēng)力渦輪機時，可以采取一些措施，把它們對鳥類的影響降到最低。例如，風(fēng)電場不應(yīng)該建在鳥類遷徙的路線上。風(fēng)力渦輪機的安裝方式應(yīng)該避免葉片位于鳥類容易飛行的高度。風(fēng)塔在設(shè)計時應(yīng)小心謹(jǐn)慎，防止鳥兒在上面棲息

Some reports even argue that well-planned wind power can actually save many birds if it is used increasingly to replace power generation from fossil fuels.

一些報道甚至認(rèn)為，如果精心規(guī)劃的風(fēng)力發(fā)電越來越多地取代化石燃料發(fā)電，實際上可以拯救許多鳥類。
