Passage 34
People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term \just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.
Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.
很长一段时间人们一直在谈论健康,因为人们知道它的重要性。人们对健康的认识也随着科学研究日益深入。近日,“健康”一词已经到了一个比以前更广泛的含义。它不再仅仅意味着没有疾病。今天,健康意味着你的身体,你的头脑和与其他人之间的关系。这一新的概念,健康是密切相关的另一项生活品质。质量是生命程度的整体满意度。
为什么健康的重点从有无疾病转向更广泛的到一个人的生活质量?原因之一,寿命的长度和生活条件让人们可以期待。随着医学的进步使人们活得更长寿,可以更健康的生活。想象一下,你在1900年出生,你可以预期平均活到47岁左右。相反,如果你出生在1999年,你可以期望活到75岁。

Passage 36
For several years,Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries,people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry,food,toys,and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden,for example. The biggest Swedish company
sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries,and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels,and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany,until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness,including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities,this is an important reason. But at the same time,other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They can teleshopping \the air\quality is important to them,and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.
多年以来,美国人一直享受着电视购物——看电视和通过电话买东西。现在电视购物开始在欧洲流行。在许多欧洲国家,人们可以打开电视然后去买衣服、珠宝、食品、玩具和许多其他的东西。
电视购物日渐风靡瑞典。例如,最大的瑞典公司15个欧洲国家里通过电视卖各种类型的商品,一年盈利千万美元。在法国有两个电视购物频道。法国人每年通过这些频道大约花费两千万美元来买东西。 在德国,直到去年电视购物只能每天一个小时在一个频道播出。随后政府允许更多的电视购物。其他频道也可以向电视商业开放,包括最大的美国电视购物公司和一个24小时营业的电视购物公司。德国商人正期待这种方式能够帮助他们卖出更多的商品。
许多人喜欢电视购物,因为它允许他们足不出户就可以购物。因为城市里的许多交通问题,购物并不是件易事。但与此同时,其他欧洲人并不喜欢这种新的购物方式,他们称电视购物(的广告)是电视广播中的垃圾,许多欧洲人经常担忧电视播出的商品的质量,他们认为高质量是最重要的东西,他们觉得自己不能确定电视上商品的质量。
对优质的需求意味着欧洲电视购物公司不得不与美国公司有所区别,他们必须更加谨慎的对其所卖商品的质量进行把关,此外,他们也不得不为了卖出那些消费者不能亲自触摸和看的商品而更加努力工作。

Passage 37
Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than what only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on-but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.
By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.
阿尔伯特爱因斯坦在科学和历史上对人类有很大影响。他的科学成就只有少数其他伟大的科学家能超过。一位美国大学校长曾经说过,爱因斯坦创造了一个新的观点,一个新的宇宙观。在普通人能完全理解时间和空间的统一性前可能需要一段时间。不过即使普通人现在也明白宇宙远比他们曾经认为的更大。
1914年年轻的爱因斯坦已经世界闻名,他接受邀请,成为柏林普鲁士科学研究院的一名教授。他有几个职务,简单的教学和做研究的无限的机会。但很快,他所有的平静被一战破坏了。爱因斯坦痛恨战争和暴力,这个巨大的战争苦难深深影响了他,他闷闷不乐地坐在办公室里很少做事情。他失去了研究中的兴趣。只有1918和平到来的时候,它才得以重返工作中去。
在一战后的数年里,他获得了越来越多的荣誉。成了Kaiser Whihem理论物理研究院的领头人。1921年他获了诺贝尔奖。他感到非常荣幸,直到纳粹出现,他被赶出德国,就因为他是犹太人。
