18、ari searching for a parking space. Impulsively, he waved the driver over and said, “Ill give you my spot, but I want to ask you two questions: What do you do, and how do you do it?“ The Ferraris owner said he was a stockbroker. Gardner asked what the job paid. At the time, the top salespeople where
19、Gardner worked were making $ 80, 000 a year. “This broker was making $ 80, 000 a month, “Gardner recalls. The two men hit it off. Over occasional lunches, the broker explained how the business worked and how to break into it. He even gave Gardner a list of referrals. Gardner began knocking on doors-
20、but had them slammed in his face. “At the time, brokerage firms were starting to require MBA degrees, “he explains. “I didnt even go to college. It wasnt racism. It was place-ism, I did not have a college degree. I did not come from a politically connected family. I had no money. So Who was going to
21、 do business with me?“ After ten months of pursuing fruitless leads, Gardner found someone willing to give him a shot. He quit his job and showed up for his appointment, only to discover his contact had been fired. No one knew who he was or why he was there. It was back to the beginning, but without

34、宣言强调： “我们的城市必须成为人类能够过上有尊严、健康、安全、幸福和充满希望的美满生活的地方 ”。而城市面临的种种挑战的发端，不论是拥挤、污染、犯罪还是冲突，根源都在于城市化进程中人与自然、人与人、精神与物质之间各种关系的失谐，长期的失谐，必然导致城市生活质量的倒退乃至文明的倒退。 为此， 2010年上海世博会将以 “和谐城市 ”的理念来回应对 “城市，让生活更美好 ”的诉求。 SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese. 62 The disturbance of th

For in reference to what is enough for nature every possession is riches, but in reference to unlimited desires even the greate

43、ok review is. A book review is a descriptive and critical or evaluative account of a book. Like the book report, it provides a summary of content and an analysis of structure, yet you will also assess the value of a book and recommend the book to other readers. There are two approaches to book revie
44、wing: the descriptive and the critical.A descriptive review is one in which the writer, without over-enthusiasm or exaggeration, gives the essential information about a book. This is done by description and exposition, by stating the perceived aims and purposes of the author, and by quoting striking
45、 passages from the text. A critical review is one in which the writer describes and evaluates the book, in terms of accepted literary and historical standards, and supports this evaluation with evidence from the text.

And knowledge of the genre means understanding the art form and how it functions. Then, after that we come to what are the minimum essentials of a boo

Sufficient description should be given so that the reader, as he reads the review, will have some understanding of the authors thoughts. This account of the contents of a book can often be woven into the critical remarks. Second, somethi
49、ng about the author. Biographical information should be relevant to the subject of the review and enhance the readers understanding of the work under discussion. Third,an appraisal, preferably indirect, through description and exposition and based on the aims and purposes of the author. While a critical review is a statement of opinion, it must be a considered judgment including:
