- 英譯漢 Up until a few decades ago, our visions of the future were largely — though by no means uniformly — glowingly positive. Science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all. Now Utopia has grown unfashionable, as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats facing us, from asteroid strike to epidemic flu and to climate change. You might even be tempted to assume that humanity has little future to look forward to. But such gloominess is misplaced. The fossil record shows that many species have endured for millions of years一 so why shouldn't we? Take a broader look at our species' place in the universe, and it becomes clear that we have an excellent chance of surviving for tens，if not hundreds，of thousands of years. According to the UN, there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline.

參考答案直到幾十年前，我們對未來的展望——盡管并不完全一致——但大多極為樂觀。（人們相信）科技將會解決人類一切問題，讓所有人都過上充滿機遇和滿足感的生活。
如今，隨著我們對自身面臨的一系列威脅（從小行星撞擊到肆虐的流感，再到氣候變化）有了更深刻的了解，烏托邦式的美好想象已變得不再流行。你甚至會禁不住認為人類幾乎沒什么未來可期待了。
然而，這種悲觀的想法是錯誤的。化石記錄表明許多物種可以存在數(shù)百萬年——人類為何不可能呢？從更宏觀的視角來審視我們人類在宇宙中的位置會很清楚地發(fā)現(xiàn)，我們很可能會生存數(shù)萬年(即使不是幾十萬年）的時間。根據(jù)聯(lián)合國的看法，當前并不存在任何重大威脅可導致人類數(shù)量的整體下降。

- 8 【英譯漢】 An Asian engineer is assigned to a U.S. laboratory and almost suffers a nervous breakdown. A U.S. executive tells his staff he's going to treat them fairly—and creates dissension. A Japanese manager is promoted by his American president, but within six months asks for a transfer. Each of these real-life cases involved people who were regarded as superior employees, but were ill-equipped to cope with the complexities and dangers of intercultural management. "Multinational companies have studied everything else, now they're finally looking at culture", says Clifford Clarke, founder and president of the California-based IRI International Inc. "Never show the shoe to an Arab, never arrive in time for a party in Brazil, and in Japan, don't think ‘yes' means ‘yes'," advise U.S. consultants Lennie Copland and Lewis Brown Griggs, who have produced a series of films and a book to help managers improve their international business skills. But simply learning the social "do's" and "don'ts" is not the answer, according to the new culture specialists. The penalties for ignoring different thinking patterns, they point out, can be disastrous.
