    1.Woven baskets characterized by a particular 3/171.The following appeared as a letter to the editor GRE-Argument 新新新新 GRE-Argument GRE-Argument 全翻译全翻译全翻译全翻译 GRE-Argument distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean. 一种具有独特花纹的编织篮子以前只在史前村庄 Palea 的临近地区发现过，因而被认为是 Palea 居所独有的。然 而最近，考古学家在一个与 Palea 隔着一条叫做 Brim 河 的村庄 Lithos 发现了一个这样的 Palea 篮子。Brim 河很 深很宽，所以古代 Palea 人只能坐船穿过它，但没有证据 表明 Palea 人拥有船只。这表明那种所谓的 Palea 篮子并 不是那里所独有的。 2.The following appeared as part of a letter to the editor of a scientific journal. "A recent study of eighteen rhesus monkeys provides clues as to the effects of birth order on an individual's levels of stimulation. The study showed that in stimulating situations (such as an encounter with an unfamiliar monkey), firstborn infant monkeys produce up to twice as much of the hormone cortisol, which primes the body for increased activity levels, as do their younger siblings. Firstborn humans also produce relatively high levels of cortisol in stimulating situations (such as the return of a parent after an absence). The study also found that during pregnancy, first-time mother monkeys had higher levels of cortisol than did those who had had several offspring." 最近一项对恒河猴的调查揭示了出生顺序对于个体刺 激水平的影响。调查显示在受到刺激的环境下（例如遇到 一个不熟悉的猴子），头胎小猴的皮质醇分泌会翻倍，这 样增加了它及其兄弟姐妹的身体灵活度。人类的头胎孩子 在遇到刺激（例如父母外出回家）时也会分泌出相对浓度 的皮质醇。研究同时还发现在怀孕期间，第一次为人母的 猴子的皮质醇要比生过几次孩子后的猴子水平高很多。 from the owner of a skate shop in Central Plaza. "Two years ago the city voted to prohibit skateboarding in Central Plaza. They claimed that skateboard users were responsible for the litter and vandalism that were keeping other visitors from coming to the plaza. In the past two years, however, there has only been a small increase in the number of visitors to Central Plaza, and litter and vandalism are still problematic. Skateboarding is permitted in Monroe Park, however, and there is no problem with litter or vandalism there. In order to restore Central Plaza to its former glory, then, we recommend that the city lift its prohibition on skateboarding in the plaza." 两年前，市里投票禁止了在中央广场玩滑板。他们认为 是滑板爱好者的废弃物和损毁公物的行为使游客远离了 广场。然而在过去两年中，中央广场的游客却只有少数增 加，而且废弃物和损毁公物的行为依然存在。滑板运动在 M 公园就被允许，但是那里却没有任何的废弃物和损毁公 物的行为。为了能让中央广场重新焕发生机，我们建议市 里应该取消广场禁止滑板的限令。 4.The following appeared in a letter from a homeowner to a friend. "Of the two leading real estate firms in our town—Adams Realty and Fitch Realty—Adams Realty is clearly superior. Adams has 40 real estate agents; in contrast, Fitch has 25, many of whom work only part-time. Moreover, Adams' revenue last year was twice as high as that of Fitch and included home sales that averaged $168,000, compared to Fitch's $144,000. Homes listed with Adams sell faster as well: ten years ago I listed my home with Fitch, and it took more than four months to sell; last year, when I sold another home, I listed it with Adams, and it took only one month. Thus, if you want to sell your home quickly and at a good price, you should use Adams Realty." 在本市的两家最大的房地产经纪公司--Adams Realty 和 Fitch Realty--之中，Adams 显然更优秀一些。Adams 有 40 名房地产经纪人，而 Fitch 只有 25 个，且很多是兼 职工作。而且，Adams 去年的收入是 Fitch 的两倍，其平 均房价为$168000，而 Fitch 仅为$144000。在 Adams 销 1111 / 23232323
    售的房屋卖得也更快：十年前，我把我的房产交给 Fitch， 它用了四个多月才卖出去；去年，我在 Adams 卖了另一 处房产，仅用一个月就售出了。因此，要想让你的房产卖 的更快更好，你应该选择 Adams。 少某些时候冷到足以让岛屿间的海面结冰以使它们能够 在岛屿间旅行的地方。然而，根据当地猎人的报告，鹿的 数量正在下降。由于这一报告正好与最近导致海洋冰面融 化的全球变暖趋势同时发生，我们可以得出结论：北极鹿 数量的下降是它们无法按它们原有的迁移习惯穿越结冰 5/159/173.The following appeared in a letter to the 海面的结果。 editor of the Balmer Island Gazette. "On Balmer Island, where mopeds serve as a popular 7/98/99.The following is a recommendation from the form of transportation, the population increases to 100,000 during the summer months. To reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and pedestrians, the town council of Balmer Island should limit the number of mopeds rented by the island's moped rental companies from 50 per day to 25 per day during the summer season. By limiting the number of rentals, the town council will attain the 50 percent annual reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year on the neighboring island of Seaville, when Seaville's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals." b 岛的人口在夏季达到了 100000，而助力车则是岛上 一种非常普遍的交通方式。为了减少由助力车和行人引发 的事故，b 岛市政府应该限制岛上夏季助力车租赁公司的 租车数量，从原来的每天 50 量减少到 25 量。通过限制出 租数量，市政府将会实现助力车事故减少 50％的目标，就 像去年邻近 s 岛市政府在实施了同样的政策后所取得的效 果。 6.Arctic deer live on islands in Canada's arctic regions. They search for food by moving over ice from island to island during the course of the year. Their habitat is limited to areas warm enough to sustain the plants on which they feed and cold enough, at least some of the year, for the ice to cover the sea separating the islands, allowing the deer to travel over it. Unfortunately, according to reports from local hunters, the deer populations are declining. Since these reports coincide with recent global warming trends that have caused the sea ice to melt, we can conclude that the purported decline in deer populations is the result of the deer's being unable to follow their age-old migration patterns across the frozen sea. 北极鹿生活在加拿大极地区域的岛屿上。它们全年都通 过冰块在岛屿间移动来寻找食物。它们的栖居地局限在那 些温暖得足以维持它们所需的植物生长，并且在一年的至 Board of Directors of Monarch Books. "We recommend that Monarch Books open a café in its store. Monarch, having been in business at the same location for more than twenty years, has a large customer base because it is known for its wide selection of books on all subjects. Clearly, opening the café would attract more customers. Space could be made for the café by discontinuing the children's book section, which will probably become less popular given that the most recent national census indicated a significant decline in the percentage of the population under age ten. Opening a café will allow Monarch to attract more customers and better compete with Regal Books, which recently opened its own café." 我们建议 m 书店在电内开设一个咖啡厅。M 书店在目 前的店址上已经经营了 20 多年，并由于其广泛的图书种 类而拥有了庞大的客户群体。很明显，新开设的咖啡厅会 吸引更多的客户，空间可以通过撤出儿童书籍柜台来获 得，因为最近一次全国调查显示 10 岁以下儿童的比率显 著下降，所以儿童书就可能没以前那么畅销。开设新咖啡 厅将会使 m 吸引更多客户并更好的与最近刚开设了咖啡 厅的 r 书店展开竞争。 8.The following appeared in a memo from the director of student housing at Buckingham College. "To serve the housing needs of our students, Buckingham College should build a number of new dormitories. Buckingham's enrollment is growing and, based on current trends, will double over the next 50 years, thus making existing dormitory space inadequate. Moreover, the average rent for an apartment in our town has risen in recent years. Consequently, students will find it increasingly difficult to afford off-campus housing. Finally, attractive new dormitories would make prospective students more likely to enroll at Buckingham." 2222 / 23232323
    为满足我们学生的住房需求，Buckingham 学院应该建 造一幢新的宿舍。Buckingham 的报名人数正在增加，而 且按照现有趋势，报名人数将会在未来 50 年中增加一倍， 从而导致现有住宅不能满足要求。而且，我们镇上公寓的 平均租金在近几年间上涨了。因此，学生将会越来越发现 难于负担校外住宿费用。最后，一幢引人注目的新宿舍将 会使未来的学生更愿意报考 Buckingham。 9/88/90.Nature's Way, a chain of stores selling health food and other health-related products, is opening its next franchise in the town of Plainsville. The store should prove to be very successful: Nature's Way franchises tend to be most profitable in areas where residents lead healthy lives, and clearly Plainsville is such an area. Plainsville merchants report that sales of running shoes and exercise clothing are at all-time highs. The local health club has more members than ever, and the weight training and aerobics classes are always full. Finally, Plainsville's schoolchildren represent a new generation of potential customers: these schoolchildren are required to participate in a fitness-for-life program, which emphasizes the benefits of regular exercise at an early age. NW 是一家专卖保健食品及其他相关产品的连锁店，准 备将其下一家店铺开在 Plainsville。这家店一定会很成功： 因为我们的商店在那些居对健康生活高度关注的地区是 盈利最多的。很明显，plainsville 就是这样的地方。 Plainsville 的商家报告说运动鞋和运动衣的销售处于历史 高点。当地一家康体俱乐部现在的会员比以往任何时候都 多，减肥训练和有氧运动班总是满员。另外，我们还可以 预见到新生代的顾客群：Plainsville 的在校学生被要求参 加一个叫做"终生健康"的项目，它强调从小开始经常锻炼 的好处。 10/21/23.Twenty years ago, Dr. Field, a noted anthropologist, visited the island of Tertia. Using an observation-centered approach to studying Tertian culture, he concluded from his observations that children in Tertia were reared by an entire village rather than by their own biological parents. Recently another anthropologist, Dr. Karp, visited the group of islands that includes Tertia and used the interview-centered method to study child-rearing practices. In the interviews that Dr. Karp conducted with children living in this group of islands, the children spent much more time talking about their biological parents than about other adults in the village. Dr. Karp decided that Dr. Field's conclusion about Tertian village culture must be invalid. Some anthropologists recommend that to obtain accurate information on Tertian child-rearing practices, future research on the subject should be conducted via the interview-centered method. 20 年前，知名人类学 F 博士访问了 T 岛，并从他的观 察中得出结论：T 岛的孩子是由整个村子抚养长大而不是 他们的亲生父母。然而，另一位人类学家 K 最近对生活在 T 岛以及周边一些岛屿的儿童采访显示，他们在谈话中谈 到他们呢双亲的时间远远多于谈到村庄里其他成年人。K 博士的这次研究证明 F 博士关于 T 岛乡村文化的结论是错 的，一些人类学家建议要想以进一步获取准确的 T 岛的儿 童成长规律，未来应该采用采访为主的方法。 11.The council of Maple County, concerned about the county's becoming overdeveloped, is debating a proposed measure that would prevent the development of existing farmland in the county. But the council is also concerned that such a restriction, by limiting the supply of new housing, could lead to significant increases in the price of housing in the county. Proponents of the measure note that Chestnut County established a similar measure ten years ago, and its housing prices have increased only modestly since. However, opponents of the measure note that Pine County adopted restrictions on the development of new residential housing fifteen years ago, and its housing prices have since more than doubled. The council currently predicts that the proposed measure, if passed, will result in a significant increase in housing prices in Maple County. M 市政府十分担心 M 市过度开发，正在讨论一项阻止 开发本市现有耕地的提议。但市政当局也同样担心这样通 过限制新房供地的举措 12.Fifteen years ago, Omega University implemented a new procedure that encouraged students to evaluate the teaching effectiveness of all their professors. Since that time, Omega professors have begun to assign higher grades in their classes, and overall student grade averages at Omega have risen by 30 percent. Potential 3333 / 23232323
    employers, looking at this dramatic rise in grades, believe that grades at Omega are inflated and do not accurately reflect student achievement; as a result, Omega graduates have not been as successful at getting jobs as have graduates from nearby Alpha University. To enable its graduates to secure better jobs, Omega University should terminate student evaluation of professors. 15 年前，Omega 大学实施了一项新措施，鼓励学生对 所有教授的教学效果进行评价。从那以后，Omega 的教 授开始给予学生更高的分数，Omega 的学生成绩总平均 上升了 30％。未来的雇主显然认为 Omega 的分数贬值了， 无法反映出学生的真实能力。因此，Omega 的毕业生找 工作时没有邻近的 Alpha 大学毕业生成功。为使 Omega 毕业生找到好工作，我们应立即停止学生对教授的评价。 13.In an attempt to improve highway safety, Prunty County last year lowered its speed limit from 55 to 45 miles per hour on all county highways. But this effort has failed: the number of accidents has not decreased, and, based on reports by the highway patrol, many drivers are exceeding the speed limit. Prunty County should instead undertake the same kind of road improvement project that Butler County completed five years ago: increasing lane widths, resurfacing rough highways, and improving visibility at dangerous intersections. Today, major Butler County roads still have a 55 mph speed limit, yet there were 25 percent fewer reported accidents in Butler County this past year than there were five years ago. 为了提升高速公路的安全性，p 市去年把所有高速公路 的限速由 55 降到了 45。但是这样的努力尝试失败了，事 故发生的数量没有下降，并且根据高速巡警的报告很多司 机都超速驾驶。所以 p 市应该采用 b 市 5 年前相同的道路 改善计划：增加车道宽度，重新铺设不平路面以及改善危 险交叉路口的能见度。今天，b 市的主要道路依然是 55 限速，但上报的事故率却比 5 年前减少了 25％。 14/118.The following appeared as part of an article in a business magazine. "A recent study rating 300 male and female Mentian advertising executives according to the average number of hours they sleep per night showed an association between the amount of sleep the executives need and the success of their firms. Of the advertising firms studied, those whose executives reported needing no more than 6 hours of sleep per night had higher profit margins and faster growth. These results suggest that if a business wants to prosper, it should hire only people who need less than 6 hours of sleep per night." 最近一项根据每天平均睡眠时间，对 300 名 m 市广告 公司男女高管调查显示出了高管们所需的睡眠时间与他 们公司成功与否的关联。根据对这些广告公司的研究，那 些公司高管报告说每天睡眠不足 6 小时的公司利润更高并 且发展更快。这些结果表明如果公司想蓬勃发展，他们就 必须只雇佣那些每天睡眠不足 6 小时的管理人员。 15/51/130/131/133..The following memorandum is from the business manager of Happy Pancake House restaurants. "Recently, butter has been replaced by margarine in Happy Pancake House restaurants throughout the southwestern United States. This change, however, has had little impact on our customers. In fact, only about 2 percent of customers have complained, indicating that an average of 98 people out of 100 are happy with the change. Furthermore, many servers have reported that a number of customers who ask for butter do not complain when they are given margarine instead. Clearly, either these customers do not distinguish butter from margarine or they use the term 'butter' to refer to either butter or margarine." Happy Pancake House 在美国西南部的餐厅用人造黄 油代替了天然黄油。但是这种改变对顾客的影响非常小因 为只有大约 2％的顾客投诉，这说明 100 个人中有 98 人 对于这种替换是乐于接受的。而且，很多服务生报告说很 多仍然要了天然黄油的顾客在被给予人造黄油的时候并 没有投诉。显然，这些顾客要么分不清天然黄油和人造黄 油，要么是用"天然黄油"这个词汇来指天然黄油或人造黄 油。 16.In surveys Mason City residents rank water sports (swimming, boating, and fishing) among their favorite recreational activities. The Mason River flowing through the city is rarely used for these pursuits, however, and the city park department devotes little of its budget to maintaining riverside recreational facilities. For years there have been complaints from residents about the 4444 / 23232323
    quality of the river's water and the river's smell. In response, the state has recently announced plans to clean up Mason River. Use of the river for water sports is, therefore, sure to increase. The city government should for that reason devote more money in this year's budget to riverside recreational facilities. 调查显示 m 市的老百姓把水上运动（游泳，划船及垂 钓）作为最受欢迎的娱乐活动。贯穿 m 市的 M 河很少被 用于水上运动，然而城市公园部门很少投入资金去维护沿 河的活动设施。这么多年居民们一直投诉河水的质量及味 道。为了回应这一投诉，当局最近宣布了清理 M 河的计划， 因此 M 河的水上活动使用将会增加。所以市政府应该增加 对河岸活动设施的资金投入。 advertising contracts with us. Therefore, in order to attract more viewers to our news programs and to avoid losing any further advertising revenues, we should expand our coverage of weather and local news on all our news programs." 去年，我们的深夜新闻节目投入了更多的时间播放全国 新闻，较少的时间播放天气预报和地方新闻。在同一时期， 我们从观众那里获得的投诉大部分是关于电视台对于天 气和地方新闻的播放的。而且，若干曾经在我们深夜新闻 节目播放广告的地方企业刚刚取消了和我们的广告契约。 因此，为吸引更多的电视观众观看我们的新闻节目并避免 失去未来的广告收入，我们应该在我们所有的新闻节目中 增加天气和地方新闻的播报。 17/93.The following appeared in a memorandum from 19.Two years ago, radio station WCQP in Rockville the manager of WWAC radio station. "To reverse a decline in listener numbers, our owners have decided that WWAC must change from its current rock-music format. The decline has occurred despite population growth in our listening area, but that growth has resulted mainly from people moving here after their retirement. We must make listeners of these new residents. We could switch to a music format tailored to their tastes, but a continuing decline in local sales of recorded music suggests limited interest in music. Instead we should change to a news and talk format, a form of radio that is increasingly popular in our area." 为了扭转观众流失的局面，WWAC 的老板们决定必须 要摒弃目前的摇滚乐风格。尽管我们广播区域内人口增 加，收听人数依然下降。但增加的人口主要是一些退休后 移居本地的。我们必须要抓住这些新的听众，我们可以转 变音乐风格来迎合他们，但最近本地音乐销量的持续走低 decided to increase the number of call-in advice programs that it broadcast; since that time, its share of the radio audience in the Rockville listening area has increased significantly. Given WCQP's recent success with call-in advice programming, and citing a nationwide survey indicating that many radio listeners are quite interested in such programs, the station manager of KICK in Medway recommends that KICK include more call-in advice programs in an attempt to gain a larger audience share in its listening area. 两年前，R 地区的 WCQP 电台决定增加在其广播节目 的电话参与节目。此后，其在 R 地区的听众覆盖率急剧增 加。鉴于 WCQP 这种措施的成功，同时也根据一项全国 范围的调查显示很多的观众比较喜欢这样的电话参与节 目，M 地区的 Kick 电台的经理建议 Kick 也应该增加类似 的电话参与节目以来扩大在其地区的听众占有率。 表明他们对音乐没什么兴趣。所以，我们可以变为新闻谈 22/119/120/138.According to a recent report, 话类的形式来提升我们电台在本地的人气。 18/20.The following is a memorandum from the business manager of a television station. "Over the past year, our late-night news program has devoted increased time to national news and less time to weather and local news. During this period, most of the complaints received from viewers were concerned with our station's coverage of weather and local news. In addition, local businesses that used to advertise during our late-night news program have canceled their cheating among college and university students is on the rise. However, Groveton College has successfully reduced student cheating by adopting an honor code, which calls for students to agree not to cheat in their academic endeavors and to notify a faculty member if they suspect that others have cheated. Groveton's honor code replaced a system in which teachers closely monitored students; under that system, teachers reported an average of thirty cases of cheating per year. In the first year the honor code was in place, students reported twenty-one cases of cheating; five years later, 5555 / 23232323
    this figure had dropped to fourteen. Moreover, in a recent survey, a majority of Groveton students said that they would be less likely to cheat with an honor code in place than without. Thus, all colleges and universities should adopt honor codes similar to Groveton's in order to decrease cheating among students. 通过最近一次报告，大学作弊现象显著增加。然而 G 大学却通过采取诚信制度的方式使该校学生作弊现象减 少。该制度要求同学同意在学业中不作弊，并且但他们怀 疑别人作弊是告知老师。G 大学的诚信制度取代了原有的 老师严密监管的老体制，在老体制中平均每年有 30 起作 弊被上报。而在实施新制度后的第一年，学生上报了 21 起。五年后，这一数字更是下降到 14 起。另外，最近一 项调查显示，G 大学绝大多数学生表示有了诚信制度以后 比以前更不可能作弊了。因此，所有的大学都应该采取与 G 大学类似的诚信制度来降低学生作弊现象。 24.A recently issued twenty-year study on headaches suffered by the residents of Mentia investigated the possible therapeutic effect of consuming salicylates. Salicylates are members of the same chemical family as aspirin, a medicine used to treat headaches. Although many foods are naturally rich in salicylates, food-processing companies also add salicylates to foods as preservatives. The twenty-year study found a correlation between the rise in the commercial use of salicylates and a steady decline in the average number of headaches reported by study participants. At the time when the study concluded, food-processing companies had just discovered that salicylates can also be used as flavor additives for foods, and, as a result, many companies plan to do so. Based on these study results, some health experts predict that residents of Mentia will suffer even fewer headaches in the future. 最近一项 20 年关于 M 地区百姓头痛的研究正在探寻水 杨酸的潜在治疗作用。水杨酸酯和用来治疗头痛的药物-- 阿司匹林是同一类化合物。尽管很多食品天然富含水杨酸 酯，食品加工公司仍然在食品中加入它来作为防腐剂。这 种水杨酸酯在商业上的使用被发现与我们为期 20 年研究 的参加者所报告的头痛发病的平均数量下降是相关的。但 研究结束时，食品加工公司却刚刚发现水杨酸酯也可以被 用作食品香料, 因此很多公司准备这样添加。依据以上的 研究，一些健康专家预期 Mentia 居患头痛症的数量将会 持续稳步下降。 25/100/102/164..The following was written as a part of an application for a small-business loan by a group of developers in the city of Monroe. "A jazz music club in Monroe would be a tremendously profitable enterprise. Currently, the nearest jazz club is 65 miles away; thus, the proposed new jazz club in Monroe, the C-Note, would have the local market all to itself. Plus, jazz is extremely popular in Monroe: over 100,000 people attended Monroe's annual jazz festival last summer; several well-known jazz musicians live in Monroe; and the highest-rated radio program in Monroe is 'Jazz Nightly,' which airs every weeknight at 7 P.M. Finally, a nationwide study indicates that the typical jazz fan spends close to $1,000 per year on jazz entertainment." 在 Monroe 建立爵士乐俱乐部将会是非常盈利的产业。 当前，最近的爵士俱乐部也在 65 英里以外；因此，我们 筹建的俱乐部 C Note 将会占有全部的本地市场。而且， 爵士乐在 Monroe 非常流行：去年夏天 10 万多人参加了 Monroe 的爵士音乐节，若干知名爵士音乐家居住在 Monroe，Monroe 获评价最高的广播节目是平时每天播出 的 Jazz Nightly。最后，一项全国性研究表明典型的爵士 爱好者每年花费近 1000 元用于爵士娱乐。 26/28.The following appeared in the summary of a study on headaches suffered by the residents of Mentia. "Salicylates are members of the same chemical family as aspirin, a medicine used to treat headaches. Although many foods are naturally rich in salicylates, for the past several decades, food-processing companies have also been adding salicylates to foods as preservatives. This rise in the commercial use of salicylates has been found to correlate with a steady decline in the average number of headaches reported by participants in our twenty-year study. Recently, food-processing companies have found that salicylates can also be used as flavor additives for foods. With this new use for salicylates, we can expect a continued steady decline in the number of headaches suffered by the average citizen of Mentia." 水杨酸酯和用来治疗头痛的药物--阿司匹林是同一类化 合物。尽管很多食品天然富含水杨酸酯，过去几十年中食 品加工公司仍然在食品中加入它来作为防腐剂。这种水杨 6666 / 23232323
    酸酯在商业上的使用被发现与我们为期 20 年研究的参加 者所报告的头痛发病的平均数量下降是相关的。最近，食 品加工公司发现水杨酸酯也可以被用作食品香料。根据这 种水杨酸酯的新用途，我们可以预期 Mentia 居患头痛症 的数量将会持续稳步下降。 我们市的出生率正在降低：事实上，去年的出生率只是 5 年前的一半。因此学生的入学人数将会急剧下降，我们 可以放心的削减未来 10 年的教育经费。与此同时，我们 也可以减少对操场和其他活动设施的经费。所以，我们可 以有充足的费用去扶持城市设施及其他的成人项目，因为 我们预测未来城市里面的成人人口将会增加。 27/29.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a local newspaper. 31/105/106.The following appeared in a letter to the "Commuters complain that increased rush-hour traffic editor of Parson City's local newspaper. on Blue Highway between the suburbs and the city center has doubled their commuting time. The favored proposal of the motorists' lobby is to widen the highway, adding an additional lane of traffic. But last year's addition of a lane to the nearby Green Highway was followed by a worsening of traffic jams on it. A better alternative is to add a bicycle lane to Blue Highway. Many area residents are keen bicyclists. A bicycle lane would encourage them to use bicycles to commute, and so would reduce rush-hour traffic rather than fostering an increase." 乘客抱怨在郊区与市中心的 B 高速公路的更长交通高 峰期使他们在路上的时间多花了一倍。一个驾驶协会的不 错建议是拓宽高速公路，修建一条附加机动车道。但去年 但临近的 G 高速采用了相同的方法后交通状况更加恶化。 一种更好的建议是在 B 高速上修一条自行车道。很多的当 地人都是自行车爱好者。一条新的自行车道将会激励他们 骑自行车外出，这样的方式照比驾驶协会的建议会减少高 峰时间而不是延长。 "In our region of Trillura, the majority of money spent on the schools that most students attend—the city-run public schools—comes from taxes that each city government collects. The region's cities differ, however, in the budgetary priority they give to public education. For example, both as a proportion of its overall tax revenues and in absolute terms, Parson City has recently spent almost twice as much per year as Blue City has for its public schools—even though both cities have about the same number of residents. Clearly, Parson City residents place a higher value on providing a good education in public schools than Blue City residents do." 在我们 t 地区，政府用于公立学校教育的开支大部分都 是从各地市政府征收的税收而来的。然而，依据总体税收 比率及相关政策来看，该地区不同城市对于公立教育的重 视程度是不同的。例如，p 城市用于公立学校的预算是 b 市的 2 倍，尽管两个城市居民的数量基本相同。所以，p 城市百姓显然比 b 市居民更加关注公立教育。 30.The following appeared as a recommendation by a 32/104/167.The following appeared in a memo from a committee planning a ten-year budget for the city of Calatrava. "The birthrate in our city is declining: in fact, last year's birthrate was only one-half that of five years ago. Thus the number of students enrolled in our public schools will soon decrease dramatically, and we can safely reduce the funds budgeted for education during the next decade. At the same time, we can reduce funding for athletic playing fields and other recreational facilities. As a result, we will have sufficient money to fund city facilities and programs used primarily by adults, since we can expect the adult population of the city to increase." vice president of Quiot Manufacturing. "During the past year, Quiot Manufacturing had 30 percent more on-the-job accidents than at the nearby Panoply Industries plant, where the work shifts are one hour shorter than ours. Experts say that significant contributing factors in many on-the-job accidents are fatigue and sleep deprivation among workers. Therefore, to reduce the number of on-the-job accidents at Quiot and thereby increase productivity, we should shorten each of our three work shifts by one hour so that employees will get adequate amounts of sleep." 在过去，Q 工厂的工伤事故比邻近的 Panoply 工厂多 30％，Panoply 的每班工作时间比我们的短一个小时。专 家相信导致很多工伤事故的重要因素就是工人的疲劳和 7777 / 23232323
    睡眠不足。因此，为减少 Q 的工伤事故数量并提高生产效 率，我们应该把我们的三个班次的工作时间每个都减少一 减少用于私人以及娱乐活动，比如购物或玩游戏的工作时 间，那些在电脑上不正当使用互联网的员工必须要被确认 小时，从而我们的雇员将有更充足的睡眠。 33.The following appeared in a memorandum from the planning department of an electric power company. "Several recent surveys indicate that home owners are increasingly eager to conserve energy. At the same time, manufacturers are now marketing many home appliances, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, that are almost twice as energy efficient as those sold a decade ago. Also, new technologies for better home insulation and passive solar heating are readily available to reduce the energy needed for home heating. Therefore, the total demand for electricity in our area will not increase—and may decline slightly. Since our three electric generating plants in operation for the past twenty years have always met our needs, construction of new generating plants will not be necessary." 一些最近的调查表明，房主越来越强烈地希望节省能 源，并且生产商现在正在推出很多比十年前的电器几乎节 能两倍的家用电器，比如冰箱和空调，这些电器要比 10 前出售的节能 50%。而且，更好的房屋隔热和被动式太阳 能采暖的新技术已经可以用于减少家庭采暖所需的能源。 因此，我们预计我们地区的用电需求总量不会增加，而可 能有轻微下降。由于我们的已经运作了 20 年的三座发电 站总能够满足需求，我们无需建造新的发电厂。 34/58/94.The vice president of human resources at Climpson Industries sent the following recommendation to the company's president. 并且受到惩罚。通过在公司电脑上安装检测员工使用互联 网的软件，我们可以防止员工浪费时间，并培养 C 公司更 好的工作氛围，以及提高我们的整体利润。 35/52/128/129.The following appeared in a letter from the owner of the Sunnyside Towers apartment complex to its manager. "One month ago, all the showerheads in the first three buildings of the Sunnyside Towers complex were modified to restrict maximum water flow to one-third of what it used to be. Although actual readings of water usage before and after the adjustment are not yet available, the change will obviously result in a considerable savings for Sunnyside Corporation, since the corporation must pay for water each month. Except for a few complaints about low water pressure, no problems with showers have been reported since the adjustment. I predict that modifying showerheads to restrict water flow throughout all twelve buildings in the Sunnyside Towers complex will increase our profits even more dramatically." 一个月前，Sunnyside 塔楼最低的五层的所有淋浴喷头 被调节成水压只有以前的大约三分之一。尽管在调节之后 用水量的确切读数还没有出来，但这种变革显然将为 Sunnyside 公司节省大量的花费，因为公司必须每月为所 用的水付费。除了关于低水压的几起投诉，在调节之后没 有发生关于淋浴喷头的问题的报告。我预计在 Sunnyside 塔楼所有的 12 层都限制水压将会增加我们未来的利润。 "In an effort to improve our employees' productivity, 36/166.The following report appeared in the we should implement electronic monitoring of employees' Internet use from their workstations. Employees who use the Internet from their workstations need to be identified and punished if we are to reduce the number of work hours spent on personal or recreational activities, such as shopping or playing games. By installing software to detect employees' Internet use on company computers, we can prevent employees from wasting time, foster a better work ethic at Climpson, and improve our overall profits." 为提高我们的员工的生产效率，我们应该在员工的电脑 上加装电子监控来监视员工对互联网的使用。如果我们要 newsletter of the West Meria Public Health Council. "An innovative treatment has come to our attention that promises to significantly reduce absenteeism in our schools and workplaces. A study reports that in nearby East Meria, where fish consumption is very high, people visit the doctor only once or twice per year for the treatment of colds. Clearly, eating a substantial amount of fish can prevent colds. Since colds represent the most frequently given reason for absences from school and work, we recommend the daily use of Ichthaid—a nutritional supplement derived from fish oil—as a good way to prevent colds and lower absenteeism." 8888 / 23232323
