Now which are the animals really to be pitied
in captivity? First, those clever beings whose lively urge for activity can
find no outlet behind the bars of the cage. This is most conspicuous, even for
the uninitiated, in the case of animals which, when living in a free state, are
accustomed to roaming about widely. Owing to this frustrated desire, foxes and
wolves housed, in many old-fashioned zoos, in cages which are far too small,
are among the most pitiable of all caged animals.
Though pinioned swans generally seem happy,
under proper care, by hatching and tearing their young without any trouble, at
migration time things become different: they repeatedly swim to the lee side of
the pond, in order to have the whole extent of its surface at their disposal,
trying to take off. Again and again the grand preparations end in a pathetic
flutter of their half wings; a truly sorry picture!
This, however, rarely awakens the pity of the
zoo visitor, least of all when such an originally highly intelligent and
mentally alert animal has deteriorated, in confinement, into a crazy idiot, a
very caricature of its former self. Sentimental old ladies, the fanatical
sponsors of the societies for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, have no
compunction in keeping a grey parrot in a relatively small cage or even chained
to a perch. Together with the large corvines, the parrots are probably the only
birds which suffer from that state of mind, common to prisoners, namely,
boredom.

Question
71—80 are based on the following passage.
The fact
that most Americans live in urban areas does not mean that they reside in the
center of large cities. In fact, more Americans live in the suburbs of large
metropolitan areas than in the cities themselves.
The
Bureau of the Census regards any area with more than 2,500 people as an urban
area, and does not consider boundaries of cities and suburbs.
According
to the Bureau, the political boundaries are less significant than the social
and economic relationships and the transportation and communication systems
that integrate a locale. The term used by the Bureau for an integrated
metropolis is an MSA, which stands for Metropolitan Statistical Area. In
general, an MSA is any area that contains a city and its surrounding suburbs
and has a total population of 50,000 or more.
At the
present time, the Bureau reports more than 280 MSAs, which together account for
75 percent of the US population. In addition, the Bureau recognizes 18
megapolises, that is, continuous adjacent metropolitan areas. One of the most
obvious megapolises includes a chain of hundreds of cities and suburbs across
10 states on the East Coast from Massachusetts to Virginia, including Boston,
New York, and Washington, D.C. In the Eastern Corridor, as it is called, a
population of 45 million inhabitants is concentrated. Another megapolis that is
growing rapidly is the California coast from San Francisco through Los Angeles
to San Diego.

“what
does the middleman do but add to the price of goods in the shops?” Such remarks are aimed at the intermediate operations between
manufacturers and final customers. This practice usually attracts a lot of
attention from the public and the press and the operation most talked about is
what is often called wholesaling.
The
wholesaler buys goods in large quantities from the manufacturers and sells them
in smaller parcels to retailers, and for this service his selling price to the
retailer is raised several percent higher. But his job is made more difficult
by retail demand not necessarily running level with manufacturers’ production. Because he adjusts or regulates the flow of goods by
holding stock until required, he frees the manufacturer, to some extent, from
the effect on production of changing demand and having to bear the whole risk.
The
manufacture can then keep up a steady production flow, and the retailer has no
need to hold heavy stocks, who can call on the wholesaler for supplies any
time. This wholesale function id like that of a valve in a water pipe. The
middleman also bears part of the risk that would otherwise fall on the
manufacturer and also the retailer.
The
wholesaler provides a purely commercial service, for which he is too well
rewarded. But the point that is missed by many people is that the wholesaler is
not just someone adding to the cost of goods. It is true one could eliminate
the wholesaler but one would still be left with his function: that of making
sure that goods find their way to the people who want them.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. President. It is quite an honor to be introduced by your dad. This has got to be a historic moment: father and son, two Presidents, opening up an embassy. I suspect it's the first, although I must confess I haven't done a lot of research into the itinerary of the Adams boys. //
My dad was a fabulous President. And I tell people one reason why was not only did he know what he was doing, he was a fabulous father. Mr. Ambassador, honored guests, Laura and I, and my brother and my sister, are proud to be here with our dad as we open and dedicate this new embassy. No doubt this is an impressive complex. To me it speaks of the importance of our relations with China. It reflects the solid foundation underpinning our relations. It is a commitment to strengthen that foundation for years to come. //
I thank all those who designed and built the embassy, and all those who work here to advance the interests and values of our great nation. Dad and I are honored that Counselor Dai has joined us; and Minister Xie; Ambassador Zhou—who, by the way, opened a new Chinese embassy in Washington, D. C. , designed by I. M. Pei a couple weeks ago. We appreciate our friend Anne Johnson being here, he is the Director of the Art in Embassies Program. Dr. Kissinger, thanks for coming. //
It takes a special band to open the embassy—out of West Texas—Odessa, Texas, for that matter, the Gatlin boys are with us today. I thank the Red Poppies, thank you for your talent. And finally, I want to pay tribute to Sandy Randt, who has done a fabulous job as our Ambassador to China. Sandy, thank you and We're proud to be here with those citizens of ours who work at the embassies, and we say thanks to the Chinese nationals who make our embassy go, as well. //
I'm honored to represent the United States at the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games here in Beijing. And I'm looking forward to cheering our athletes on. Mr. Ambassador, I'm not making any predictions about medal counts, but I can tell you the U.S. athletes are ready to come and compete, in the spirit of friendship. You know, during my last visit here I had the opportunity to break in the mountain biking course. I was so proud of my efforts, I told Laura I was thinking about entering the competition myself. She reminded me they don't give any medals for last place. //
Tonight the Olympic torch will light the home of an ancient civilization with a grand history. Thousands of years ago, the Chinese people developed a common language and unified a great nation. China became the center for art and literature, commerce and philosophy. China advanced the frontiers of knowledge in medicine, astronomy, navigation, engineering, and many other fields. And the Chinese are even said to have invented the parachute—something for which the 41st President is very grateful. //
We share a long history. The first American ship arrived in China just after the year we won our independence. World War Ⅱ, Americans and Chinese fought side by side to liberate this land from Imperial Japan. We all remember very clearly, Dr. K, when President Nixon came to Beijing to begin a new era of dialogue between our nations. You might remember that yourself. //
Today the United States and China have built a strong relationship, rooted in common interests. China has opened its economy and begun to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of its people. America will continue to support China on the path toward a free economy. We're also cooperating to fight pandemic diseases and respond to natural disasters. And through the Six-Party Talks, we're working together to ensure that the Korean Peninsula is free of nuclear weapons. //
The relationship between our nations is constructive and cooperative and candid. We'll continue to be candid about our mutual global responsibilities. We
谢谢您，先生。谢谢，总统先生。让自己的父亲给自己做介绍是件非常荣幸的事。这一定是个历史性时刻：父亲和儿子，两位总统，为大使馆主持开馆仪式，我想这是头一遭，当然，我得承认我对亚当斯父子的游记没有进行过大量研究。// 我父亲是一位了不起的总统。我对人讲，其中一个原因是他不仅是位好总统，而且还是一位了不起的父亲。大使先生，贵宾们，劳拉和我、我的弟弟和妹妹，都为能够同父亲一道在这里主持这座新使馆启用仪式感到自豪毫无疑问，这座新馆令人赞叹。对我来说，它表明了我们与中国关系的重要性，它反映了我们的关系建立在坚实牢固的基础之上，它是在未来许多年里加强这一基础的承诺。// 我感谢所有参与设计和建造这座使馆的人员以及所有在这里为推进我们伟大祖国的利益和价值观而努力工作的人。父亲和我对戴秉国国务委员、谢部长和周大使的光临感到荣幸。顺便说一句，一个多星期前周大使在华盛顿特区主持了由贝聿铭设计的中国大使馆新馆开馆仪式。感谢我们的朋友、使馆项目艺术部主任安妮?约翰逊出席仪式。感谢基辛格博士，谢谢您光临。// 庆祝大使馆开馆要有一支特殊的乐队才行——来自得克萨斯州西部奥德萨的加特林兄弟今天就在这里。我感谢红罂粟，感谢你们的天才演出。最后，我要向业绩不凡的我国驻中国大使桑迪?雷德致敬。桑迪，谢谢您，还有我们为能与在大使馆工作的我国公民在一起而感到自豪，我们也向使我国使馆能够顺利运转的中国公民表示感谢。// 我很荣幸能有机会代表美国在北京参加奥运会开幕式。我期待着为我们的运动员摇旗助威。大使先生，我不会对奖牌数字作任何预测，但是我可以告诉你们，美国运动员已经作好准备，本着友谊的精神参加竞赛。大家知道，在上次访问中国的时候，我有机会在新建的车道上练习山地自行车。我对自己的努力感到十分自豪，我对劳拉说，我在考虑亲自参加奥运比赛。她提醒我说，他们不会给比赛的最后一名颁发任何奖章。// 今晚，奥林匹克的火炬将点燃这个具有辉煌历史的文明古国。数千年前，中国人民就发明了共同的文字，统一了一个伟大的国家。中国当时成为艺术与文学、商业与哲学的中心。中国推动了医学、天文学、航海学、工程学及许多其他领域的发展。据说中国人还发明了降落伞——这是一项使第41位美国总统十分感激的发明。// 我们共同见证了悠久的历史。就在我们刚赢得独立后的第二年，第一艘美国轮船驶抵中国。第二次世界大战期间，美国人和中国人并肩战斗，把这片土地从日本帝国的统治下解放出来。基辛格博士，尼克松总统当年来到北京开辟两国对话的新纪元，我们对此都记忆犹新。您自己可能也记得这件事吧。// 今天，美国与中国已建立起植根于共同利益的牢固关系。中国已实行经济开放，并开始发挥出中国人民的进取精神。美国将继续支持中国在自由经济的道路上前进。我们还在防治流行性疾病和抗击自然灾害方面进行合作 通过六方会谈，我们共同致力于确保朝鲜半岛无核化。// 我们两国之间的关系是具有建设性、合作而坦诚的。在我们各自承担的全球责任方面，我们将继续坦诚相见我们必须共同努力保护环境并帮助发展中国家的人民；继续坦率地表明我们的信念——既每一个人都应该享有发表言论和宗教信仰的自由。我们深信，允许自由表达思想的社会往往最繁荣也最和平。// 坦率是最有效的，它在建立起尊重与信任关系的国家之间最为有效。我一直努力建立这种尊重与信任。我向努力建立这种尊重与信任的中国领导人表示感谢。我也向今天在场的使馆人员致谢，你们正在做着同样的努力。在这里工作的人为国效力，做出了奉献。为美国效力是一项崇高的工作。我希望你们感到这是一项有所收获的工作。很荣幸与各位相聚。我为有幸主持这座大使馆的新馆开馆仪式而心存感激。我期待着去看奥运比赛。上帝保佑。// (节选自美国前总统在美国驻中国大使馆新馆开馆仪式上的讲话)
没有人可以否认，几百万的私人小企业大大地推动了国家的经济。
No one can deny that millions of small private enterprises have fuelled the nation's economy.
Gypsies are often treated with disapproval, lack of trust, and lack of understanding because their way of life is so different from the way most other British people live.
吉普赛人的生活方式和大部分英国人大不相同，所以人们对吉普赛人的态度总是不以为然，很不信任，而且对他们的生活缺乏了解。
