Hemingway
American writer, Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois. He started his career as a writer in a newspaper office at the age of seventeen. During the 1920s, Hemingway became a member of the group Americans living in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises. Equally successful was A Farewell to Arms, the study of an American ambulance officer’s disillusionment in the war and his role as a deserter. Hemingway used his experience as a reporter during the Civil War in Spain as the background for his most ambitious novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls. Among his later works, the most outstanding is the short novel The Old Man and The Sea, the story of an old fisherman’s journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his victory in defeat. Now Hemingway is the classic symbol of bravery, or strong man.

Unit 1
You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more than will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination. But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period - I am addressing myself to the school - surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished. All this tradition of ours, our songs, our school history, this part of the history of this country, were gone and finished and liquidated.
Unit 2
Ultimately, personal space is psychological, not physical: it has less to do with the space outside us than with our inner space. I suspect that the shrinking of personal space is directly proportional to the expansion of self-absorption: people whose attention is inward do not bother to look outward. Even the focus of science these days is micro, not macro.
In the same way that the breeze from a butterfly's wings in Japanmay eventually produce a tidal wave in California, I have decided to expand the contracting boundaries of personal space. In the line at my bank, I now refuse to move closer than three feet to the person in front of me, even if it means that the fellow behind me starts breathing down my neck.
Unit 3
All of this being said, I believe that the key to realizing the potential of the Internet is in achieving balance in our lives. This would allow us to maximize its potential without losing our sense of place. However, like most things, that is easier said than done. It seems to me that we are a society that values immediate gratification above all else, and what better place to achieve it than in cyberspace, where the cyber-world is your cyber-oyster. The widespread use of the automobile forever changed our society and culture, and perhaps a similar sort of thing is occurring now. I am not at all certain where the "information superhighway" will lead us: some say to Utopia, while others feel it's the road to hell. But I do know that we all have the ability to maintain our sense of place in the world. Whether we choose to take advantage of this ability is another matter.
Unit 5
About 150 years ago, Coleridge had written, "A woman's friendship borders more closely on love than a man's. Men affect each other in the reflection of noble or friendly acts, whilst women ask fewer proofs and more signs and expressions of attachment."
Well, she thought, on the whole, men had buddies, while women had friends. Buddies bonded, but friends loved. Buddies faced adversity together, but friends faced each other. There was something palpably different in the way they spent their time. Buddies seemed to "do" things together; friends simply "were" together.
Buddies came linked, like accessories, to one activity or another. People have golf buddies and business buddies, college buddies and club buddies. Men often keep their buddies in these categories, while women keep a special category for friends.

Gay Marriage

查找2012年美国总统大选的资料，通过对美国大选过程的分析，评述资本主义国家的政治民主模式（特点和不足都要分析，尽量加进人物访谈的方法）。（资本主义民主）

尽量加进人物访谈的方法
不用做问卷
大家可以先想几个访谈问题

9个人分工 事后的报告每人挑一个方面写至少两三百字
印象里大选的经费问题好像很有说头 但是争议性好大而且其实对大选制度本身还是没怎么搞清楚@_@
求指点啊求指点@mofanrenjing @反之塚大叔

现在世界上施行资本主义制度的发达国家，其政体一般都是多党制（含两党制），各个党派通过竞选获得执政地位。因而各个政党的主要工作就是获得选民的支持，而获得选民的支持，最直接的方式就是获得代表各个阶层选民的利益代言人的支持，例如获得农民团体的支持，获得工业企业内公会的支持，获得银行业团体的支持，获得军队的支持等。
在现实中，各个利益集团的利益诉求不同，在某一时间段内，甚至是冲突的。
虽然资本主义制度提倡民主，但是在前述的现实条件下，民主往往是利益集团斗争和博弈结果，有妥协，有让步，甚至就无疾而终。
选民和利益集团的出发点就是利益，使得其没有什么政策忠诚度，经常会摇摆。
因而资本主义民主的缺点就是，决策过程长、决策成本高，甚至决策无结果。
以上，查资本主义民主制的缺点查到的

民主选举制度的缺陷由于人本性自私的特点，所以当个人利益和公众利益发生冲突时，一定会为个人利益放弃公众利益，这种行为同样会体现在选举过程中 。候选人为了赢得选举，会承诺尽量迎合和满足各个利益群体的个人利益，而这种群体利益往往会和社会的整体利益冲突，和社会整体效率冲突， 这就决定了由民主选举出来的领导人的决策为了迎合表面上的个人和群体利益，而放弃社会的整体利益和效率。比如现实中过高的福利，畸高的医疗支出，过高的政府负债，公民的工作时间过少脱离了实际的生产水平。由于很多本该由个体承担的支出过高的由政府承担，导致资金使用效率降低，和及大的浪费现象，并降低了人的生产积极性，使整个社会降低了生产力。极力迎合选民的个人利益可能是导致今天西方发达国家政府负债不断推高的主要原因。而这种缺陷也是民主选举固有的，是由人的本性决定的，民主选举本身是很难克服这种缺陷的。

资本主义制度的缺陷钱能生钱是资本主义制度特点和保持经济不断发展的根本。但正是由于这种现象，决定了资本主义制度的重大缺陷。那就是资产阶级靠资本剥削无产阶级，导致社会不公平，和富人巨大的浪费现象。资本主义早期阶段，通过合法的原始资本积累得到相应的社会回报应该说是公平合理的，它的不公平主要体现在资本社会发展到初级阶段以后。因为资本社会中期，由于资本社会利滚利的固有特点，资产拥有者资产总量不断膨胀，又因为经济发展的规律特点，使得资产阶级群体会越来越稳固，不可动摇，而无产阶级会永远处在被剥削的地位，很难通过自身努力摆脱命运。资产阶级从一出生就拥有巨额财富，不用付出任何劳动就可享有奢侈的生活，甚至世代延续，他们一天的挥霍足够无产者一年甚至一生的生活支出，相反无产者从生下来就注定必须艰辛劳动才能满足基本生活，他们怎么努力也很难进入资产阶级群体。这显然和西方推崇的社会公平，人人平等，人权，背道而驰。（注，现今西方无产阶级之所以生活的相对富足，是因为经济全球化导致的被剥削对象转移到以中国为代表的发展中国家，否则他们会困难得多）。这种缺陷也是资本主义自身无法客服的。因为保护资产所有者的所有权，是维系资本主义制度的根本，是经济发展所必须的。
应当指出的是，资本主义民主选举制度虽然不是人类理想的最终社会体制，实践证明，它和官僚专制制度相比优越的多，优越很多很多很多。
