The trend in most industrialized nations has been to first stop executing prisoners and then to substitute long terms of imprisonment for death as the most severe of all criminal penalties. The United States is an important exception. The federal government and a majority of U.S. states provide for the death penalty, and on average 75 executions occur each year throughout the United States.
Since ancient times most governments have punished crimes by death as a routine part of the administration of criminal law. However, in the nfid-18th century, social critics began to criticize government practices they considered unjust, including capital punishment. The debate over whether governments should utilize the death penalty continues today.
Critics of capital punishment argue that it is cruel and insulting; while supporters assert that it is a uniquely effective punishment that prevents crime. However, advocates and opponents of the death penalty dispute the proper interpretation of statistical analyses of its preventing effect. Opponents of capital punishment see the death penalty as a human fights issue involving the limits of governmental power. In contrast, the advocates tend to regard capital punishment as an issue of criminal justice policy. Because of these alternative viewpoints, there will be further debate not only about what is the right answer on capital punishment, but about what type of question is being asked when the death penalty becomes a public issue.
According to the first paragraph, corporal punishment ______.
A．is a controversial penal practice now
B．is mere welcome than death penalty in most countries
C．is more effective than imprisonment and fines
D．is all history in most countries
There is a need for people to conform. with society, therefore preventing social-emotional support for interracial couples.Many people are afraid of getting involved because of what others will think.People are often much more open to and ready to embrace the idea when it does not affect their life.“ I support the kid down the street marrying for love, no matter what color skin the person they love has.” However, the same person is not necessarily so supportive when his child brings home someone of another race.Without the support of family, relationships feel more stressful.
Different cultural ideas also increase stress in a relationship.People tend to argue more when they agree less.They tend to agree less when their ideas about things are different.People naturally value their ideas more than they value the ideas of others.This causes each person in the relationship to constantly try to convince the other that their ideas are worthy and that they are worthy of love.A relationship with constant disagreement and a consistent effort to convince the other they deserve their love, without a social network for support, is not likely to be a long-term relationship.
Experts suggest that the way to overcome this is to have a new identity.After securing themselves in the relationship, the partners develop new relational identities that are uniquely and mutually theirs as an interracial couple.This new identity provides the support that is needed to make a relationship succeed.

It will be vital, as never before, for university graduates to have a grasp of foreign cultures and global issues. Before September 11,2001, if you had asked the average American to name a remote country that matters little to the United States, the response might well have been Afghanistan. Today, it is clear that no country is so remote that it cannot affect our way of life. Universities, especially in the United States, will need to evolve to reflect the reality of interdependence, to educate more foreign students, to send more of their students abroad and to incorporate international perspectives in every area of study.
Universities will need to teach a new kind of literacy, defined not only by global awareness. They also need to grapple with the dilemmas posed by the accelerating pace of change brought on by scientific and technological advances. We are on the brink of once-in-human-history progress in combating disease through the application of modem science. Doctors will have at their disposal blood tests that will tell you with substantial predictive power how long you will live and from what diseases you are likely to suffer. The Internet and the application of information technology may well represent the most profound change in the way knowledge is disseminated since the printing press. We are close to understanding the first second of the history of the cosmos.
Beyond their contribution to scientific progress, universities are uniquely suited to grapple with the important ethical questions raised by modem science. This means that those who wish to be educated members of our society will need to understand something of science and technology. It may once have been acutely embarrassing to not know the names of five plays by Shakespeare, but acceptable to not know the difference between a gene and a chromosome. This can no longer be the case. Institutions of higher learning have begun adapting to this reality, but they still have a long way to go.
The author mentions September 11 to demonstrate
A．the change of Americans' attitude toward Afghanistan
B．the necessity for university students to better understand foreign culture
C．the fact that Afghanistan is affecting Americans' life
D．the urgency for university students to understand Afghanistan issue
I've watched successful people at work and at play. I also know too many people who have the smarts to succeed but never do. Why？ Of course, luck has a role. But usually people make their own bad luck by regularly getting trapped in self-defeating attitudes and shoot- yourself-in-the-foot behavior.
Here are some of the worst traps. I call them the Eight Habits of Really Unsuccessful People.
1. Delusional(幻想的) thinking. Unsuccessful people constantly lie to themselves—about their own lives. I once thought that people who were habitually dishonest couldn't be successful. Sadly, I've learned better. It's possible to succeed, at least financially, while being totally dishonest with others. But it is absolutely impossible for people to be dishonest with themselves—about where they are in life, what their prospects are for achieving their goals and where they fall short—and still go forward.
2. Not producing. Again and again I've talked to people who fail to acquire any useful skill for which someone will pay real money. They don't understand the fundamental truth that human beings get paid for being able to do something. And they don't understand a corollary truth: people get paid a lot for being able to do something that adds a lot of value. That means medicine or law or songwriting or finance or something that will help others to get well or make money or enjoy themselves or learn something—but on a big scale.
3. Punishing friends. A close friend of mine has had chance after chance in Hollywood, thanks to powerful friends at two different studios who long ago put him on the fast track to success. But for almost 20 years he has looked down on their company and put their friendship to the test while pursuing power players who treat him like a doormat(擦鞋垫). Not surprisingly, he remains directionless and debt-laden at age 47.
Unless you are a uniquely talented artist or athlete, there is no such thing as success without a network of friends and supporters. The inability to make and keep friends is involved in every single failure I have ever seen.
4. Bad manners. Unsuccessful people are also routinely rude. They fail to show up on time, to thank givers for gifts and to apologize for slights and wrongs. A guest with a good job, really busy, with heavy-weight responsibilities will be on time. Someone with nothing to do all day will be very, very late. Maybe billionaires can get away with being rude. For the rest of us, it's a guaranteed success killer.
5. Dressing for failure. A beautiful young woman I know was desperate for a job. I got her an interview—lunch with the head of a company that prides itself on its family image. Incredibly, she showed up at an executive dining room in shorts, a T-shirt and high-heeled sandals. From the moment she appeared, she had ruined the interview. Unsuccessful people habitually dress inappropriately. They arrive for job interviews without a tie or in running shoes. They come to dinner parties in jeans when everyone else is in suits.
6. Bad attitudes. The unsuccessful often have a sour, pessimistic outlook. They cast a dark pall(覆盖物) over everything. They also betray a lack of confidence in themselves a deep-rooted belief that they can't do much or do it well. This is almost always expressed to anyone who will listen. They don't realize that they are advertising themselves as losers.
A friend in northern California is competent enough to complete her work. But wherever she goes, she complains that the air conditioning is too cold or too hot. She bad-mouths the boss or the
A．Y
B．N
C．NG
It all begins with engagement. Traditionally, a young man asks the father of his sweetheart for permission to marry her. If the father agrees, the man later proposes to her. Often he tries to surprise her by" popping the question" in a romantic way. Sometimes the couple just decides together that the time is right to get married. The man usually gives his fiancee a diamond ring as a symbol of their engagement. They may be engaged for weeks, months or even years. As the big day approaches, bridal showers and bachelor's parties provide many useful gifts. Today many couples also receive counseling during engagement. This prepares them for the challenges of married life.
As the ceremony begins ,the groom and his attendants stand with the minister, facing the audience. Music signals the entrance of the bride's attendants ,followed by the beautiful bride. Nervously, the young couple repeats their vows. Traditionally, they promise to love each other for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. But sometimes the couple has composed their own vows. They give each other a gold ring to symbolize their marriage commitment. Finally the minister announces the big moment: "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride !"
Almost every culture has rituals to signal a change in one's life. Marriage is one of the most basic life changes for people of all cultures. So it's no surprise to find many traditions about getting married...even in America. Yet each couple follows the traditions in a way that is uniquely their own.
"popping the question" (L. 3, Para. 2 ) means______.
A．asking whether her father agrees
B．asking a short question
C．making the marriage proposal
D．expressing his love
No matter how large or notable(著名的) the U.S. travel industry is or may become, it will always be members of a broader world society. The charge facing all of us is to appropriately engage poverty. Poverty is certainly not new but the means at our disposal to address poverty are improving by the day. Fortunately, the $3.3 trillion world travel industry is uniquely suited to address poverty in regions where it is most entrenched. In the course of making a case for harnessing travel and tourism for poverty reduction, the travel and tourism industry already exists in every region of the globe and is a proven job producer and sustainer of native culture.
That travel and tourism creates good jobs is indisputable. In the U.S., the industrial Age economy is in transition(过渡) to a service economy, and travel and tourism is responsible for one in every seven workers in the U.S. civilian workforce, directly or indirectly. But by no means is this phenomenon limited to the U.S. The World Travel and Tourism Council reports tourism employs almost 200 million people worldwide—1 in every 13 jobs worldwide today.
There are many important differences between building an industrial based economy and one that relies largely on tourism. One of the historical barriers to industrialization has been a shortage of capital to build an industrial infrastructure or a lack of industrial-specific facilities such as deep-water ports. But we don't need to build factories for tourism. Nor do we need the traditional resources of the Industrial Age to build new tourism economies. The essential raw materials for our industry include rich cultures, unique natural environments and willing hosts. And those raw materials exist already in abundance(丰富) in every nation.
Only travel brings us face to face with. people from different cities, different nations, and different outlooks. CNN can take us on a virtual world tour. We can be touched by images we see in the media but it is only when we shake hands with people from other nations and other cultures that we learn how things really are. And despite the many wonders of technology, we only truly touch one another when we travel and embrace one another's culture, stature, and dreams.
From the first paragraph we learn that the travel industry ______.
A．has improved its revenue
B．is financially healthier than ever
C．is going to give money to aid Poverty.
D．is better able to help reduce poverty than ever
