? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?{{B}}Alan
Greenspan: the Most Powerful Guy{{/B}}? ?With the American’s Midterm
Elections over, and a new Commander-in-Chief about to step in, some Americans
are a little nervous about the nation’s future. But others feel secure, knowing
that the man they consider the most powerful person in the world isn’t going
anywhere.? ?Just who is this behind-the-scenes guy they think has
more power than George W. Bush ever will? He’s Alan Greenspan, a 74-year-old
expert economist who heads the Federal Reserve, commonly known as the
Fed.? ?Unlike the president, who has to please the voters and
compromise with Congress, Greenspan doesn’t have to answer to anyone.?
?But that doesn’t mean his job is easy.? ?Basically,
Greenspan is in charge of keeping the nation’s economy stable. The economy is
sort of like a balloon: blow in too much air, and it pops. But with too little
air, it falls to the floor. Greenspan helps decide when to blow more air into
the economy. In this case, the air in a balloon is. the amount of money in the
economy. Greenspan can make the economy grow by increasing the money supply, or
keep the economy from inflating too much by decreasing the money supply. His
goal is for the economy to grow and contract gradually. Rapid changes can harm
businesses and consumers.? ?{{B}}Translating
"Greenspan―Speak"{{/B}}? ?In a speech lately, Greenspan hinted the
Fed was concerned the economy might be slowing down too fast. What Greenspan
actually said was that the Fed should "remain alert to the possibility that
greater caution and weakening asset values in financial markets could signal or
precipitate（促成） an excessive softening in household and business spending. "But
what investors heard was: "I may lower interest rates which will make it easier
for the companies you are investing in to borrow money. That means they’ll
expand and their stock will be worth more in the future."? ?Within
hours of Greenspan’s remarks, so many investors bought stocks that the Dow Jones
and the NASDAQ rose by three percent and ten percent that day. The value of some
companies went up by millions of dollars, just because investors had confidence
in Greenspan’s words.? ?{{B}}Increasing Influence{{/B}}?
?But Greenspan doesn’t just work magic by talking. He was educated at New
York University and Columbia and appointed to his job in 1987 by President
Ronald Reagan. And he’s credited with steering the country through some
difficult times since then, including a serious stock market crash just after he
took the job.? ?Another reason Greenspan has become almost a
celebrity in America, is that more people are paying attention to the stock
market than ever before. It used to be that only rich people and powerful
corporations had the extra money to invest in stocks. But the U.S. economy has
done so well in recent years, that more and more ordinary people are investing
in stocks.? ?{{B}}Who is Greenspan?{{/B}}? ?He’s a
native New Yorker. His first focus was music: He attended New York’s Julliard
School and toured the country for a year in the early 1940s, playing in the
Henry Jerome swing band（摇摆乐队）. If nothing else, friends believe, this experience
of US travel gave him the ability to connect dispassionate（不带感情的） economic
theories with the individuals they affect.? ?"The most outstanding
thing about his is he knows the American economy…," says friend Herbert Stein,
an economist.? ?A swing into economics carried him straight into
moderate Republican politics. He advised Richard Nixon in his 1968 campaign, and
served briefly in the Bureau of the Budget.? ?Seven years later,
he returned to government service, replacing Mr. Stein as chair of the Council
of Economic Advisers in the final days of Nixon presidency. He agreed only after
being assured that Vice President Ford would keep him.? ?In that
role, he helped formulate the inflation―fighting blueprint of the 1970s that
reduced inflation from 11 to 6.5 percent.? ?Greenspan is also
known for taking hot morning baths that last as long as an hour, with his inbox
within reach. The practice began years ago to counter a bad back.?
?That has not kept him off Washington’s tennis courts, where he is renowned
competitor. "I found his intensity remarkable and his approach shot serious,"
says one of Greenspan’s partners.? ?Married to NBC newswoman
Andrea Mitchell, Greenspan is also famous for his syntax（句法）, or rather, the way
it conceals virtually anything that could be said to be an opinion. This is
partly the result of the natural silence of Fed officials, who understand that
markets hang on their every word. But it is also part of Greenspan’s
personality.? ?One friend remembers encountering him in an
airport, after violent storms had almost shut down air traffic on the East
Coast. Asked about the weather, the Fed chairman said hesitantly that is was
"OK."? ?"He couldn’t even bring himself to be conclusive about the
weather!" says’ the friend.? ?{{B}}Greenspan’s Next
Move{{/B}}? ?After years of very high growth, the American economy
is starting to slow down. Recently, corporations have been making less money and
people are starting to have a harder time finding jobs.?
?Greenspan is hoping to ease the economy into a soft landing―to make the
car come to a gentle stop instead of hitting a brick wall. If he succeeds, the
country will avoid two possible problems: rising prices and high
unemployment.? ?At the Fed’s meeting, Greenspan and the other
members decided that the economy was growing at an OK rate, but that there is a
possibility of a serious slowdown. If they are worried that the whole economy is
starting to sink, they could lower interest rates at the next meeting in an
attempt to encourage people to borrow and spend.? ?While there’s
no way to know what they will decide, one thing is certain: the decisions that
Greenspan and the Federal Reserve Board make will affect everyone who earns,
borrows or spends money.单选集题：&Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension

passage.{{/B}}
? ?Our real American foods have come from
our soil and have been used by many groups―those who already lived here and
those who have come here to live. The Native Americans already had developed an
interesting cuisine using the abundant foods that were so prevalent.?
?The influence that the English had upon our national eating habits is easy
to see. They were a tough lot, those English, and they ate in a tough manner.
They wiped their mouths on the tablecloth, if there happened to be one, and they
ate until you would expect them to burst. European travelers to this country in
those days were most often shocked by American eating habits, which included too
much fat and too much salt and too much liquor. Not much has changed! And, the
Revolutionists refused to use the fork since it marked them as Europeans. The
fork was not absolutely common on the American dinner table until about the time
of the Civil War, the 1860s. Those English were a tough lot.?
?Other immigrant groups added their own touches io the preparation of our
New World food products. The groups that came still have a special sense of
self-identity through their ancestral heritage, but they see themselves as
Americans. This special self-identity through your ancestors who came from other
lands was supposed to disappear in this country. The term melting pot was first
used in reference to America in the late 1700s, so this belief that we would all
become the same has been with us for a long time. Thank goodness it has never
worked. The various immigrant groups continue to add flavor to the pot, all
right, but you can pick out the individual flavors easily.? ?The
largest ancestry group in America is the English. There are more people in
America who claim to have come from English blood than there are in England. But
is their food English? Thanks be to God, it is not! The second largest group is
the Germans, then the Irish, the Afro-Americans, the French, the Italians, the
Scottish, and the Polish. The Mexican and American Indian groups are all smaller
than any of the above, though they were the original cooks in this
country.（2）“需要

? ? ? ? {{B}}To Err Is Human{{/B}}? ?Everyone must
have had at least one personal experience with a computer error by this time.
Bank balances are suddenly reported to have jumped from $ 379 into the millions,
appeals for charitable contributions are mailed over and over to people with
crazy sounding names at your address, department stores send the wrong bills,
utility companies write that they’re turning everything off, that sort of thing.
If you manage to get in touch with someone and complain, you then get
instantaneously typed, guilty letters from the same computer, saying, "Our
computer was in error, and an adjustment is being made in your
account."? ?These are supposed to be the sheerest, blindest
accidents. Mistakes are not believed to be the normal behavior of a good
machine. If things go wrong, it must be a personal, human error, the result of
fingering, tampering a button getting stuck, someone hitting the wrong key. The
computer, at its normal best, is infallible.? ?I wonder whether
this can be true. After all, the whole point of computers is that they represent
an extension of the human brain, vastly improved upon but nonetheless human,
superhuman maybe. A good computer can think clearly and quickly enough to beat
you at chess, and some of them have even been programmed to write obscure verse.
They can do anything we can do, and more besides.? ?It is not yet
known whether a computer has its own consciousness, and it would be hard to find
out about this. When you walk into one of those great balls now built for the
huge machines, and standing listening, it is easy to imagine that the faint,
distant noise are the sound of thinking, and the turning of the spools gives
them the look of wild creatures rolling their eyes in the effort to concentrate,
choking with information. But real thinking, and dreaming, are other matters. On
the other hand, the evidence of something like an unconscious, equivalent to
ours, are all around, in every mail. As extensions of the human brain, they have
been constructed the same property of error, spontaneous, uncontrolled, and rich
in possibilities.单选集题：&Part Ⅴ Cloze
