1). Within a very short time of coming back into power the prent government had taken steps to stabilize the position. First of all, we applied ourlves to identifying the root caus of our national ailments, examining contemporary evidence and refusing to be slaves to outmoded doctrinaire beliefs. Secondly we embarked on a reasoned policy to ensure steady economic growth, the modernization of industry, and a proper balance between public and private expenditure. Thirdly by refusing to take refuge--as the previous Government had continually done in the preceding years--in panic-stricken stopgap(暂时的) measures, we stimulated the return of international confidence. As a result of tho immediate measures, and aided by the tremendous effort which they evoked from our people who responded as so often before to a firm hand at the helm, we weathered the storm and moved on into calmer waters and a period of economic expansion and social reorganization.

2) Walden(沃而登湖) is blue at one time and green at another, even from
hongwuthe same point of view. Lying between the earth and the heaven, it partakes of the color of both. Viewed from a hilltop it reflects the color of the sky; but near at hand it is of a yellowish tint next the shore where you can e the sand, then a light green, which gradually deepens to a uniform dark green in the body of the pond. In some lights, viewed even from a hilltop, it is of a vivid green next the shore. Some have referred this to the reflection of the verdure; but it is equally green there against the railroad sandbank, and in the spring, before the leaves are expanded, and it may be simply the result of the prevailing blue mixed with the yellow of the sand. This is that portion, also, where in the spring, the ice being warmed by the heat of the sun reflected from the bottom, and also transmitted through the earth, melts first and forms a narrow canal about the still frozen middle.
finis3). W ASHINGTON: A United States Air Force F-16 fighter plane fired a missile at an Iraqi radar site after the jet was tracked electronically while in the "no-fly" zone over southern Iraq, the Pentagon said yesterday. But the White Hou, explaining a long delay in announcing the strike, said it was unclear whether Iraqi radar has “locked on” to the plane
on Saturday.
A Pentagon spokesman said the F-16 returned safely to its ba in Saudi Arabia. It was not immediately known if the Iraqi site was damaged. The spokesman, confirming the strike about 18 hours after it occurred, said an
investigation was under way. Iraq denied any such incident had taken place.

1)当然,在成功和失败中,运气占了很大的成分。但我认为成功是没有什么诀窍的。有一点我发现和我生意上的成功有很大关系,这就是我来到美国之前所接受的价值观。这些价值观和孔子宣扬的一些思想有很多相同之处。孔子的思想强调的是中庸(moderation)。但是我尊重孔子的思想,并不是要把他的思想搬到现代社会。因为除了适度外还有一些东西对成功是至关重要的,这就是耐心,应变,果断,信心,创新思维,社会责任,最后还有运气。重要的是,这些因素相辅相成,不可缺一。虽然它们有的是有矛盾的,如耐心和果断经常矛盾,但很难想象我的任何决定中可以离开得了它们其中一个。

2) 以美丽如画的西湖著称的杭州,建于大约2000年前。在隋代,杭州便是一繁荣的商业中心。在这个城市1127年成为南宋的京都以后,杭州的人口增长到110万。秀丽的西湖,在市区内占了相当大的面积。一望无际的闪闪发光的碧水,三面为群山所衬托。一代又一代的人民在这里修了横跨西湖的大堤,建了亭阁和石桥,种了垂柳和花卉。新建的120多公里的公路,把西湖和山里的风景区连接起来了。每一个地方都有它独特的迷人之处,同时也是西湖这个大公园的组成部分。
