【正文】 that downward motions is now normal, so a change from it must now be perceived as upward motion. The sensors that make this magic are of two kinds. Each eye contains about 120 million rods, which provide somewhat blurry black and white vision. These are the windows of night vision。 it taxes ine you bring home for consumption, the more the government taxes. The person who piles up worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments, not consumption. All the while, of course, he’s reinvesting his earnings from investments and watching his worth soar. That’s the attitude as well. The best wealthbuilders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice. Those who spend heavily on cars, boats and buses, I’ve found, tend to skimp on investment advice. Those who skimp on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice. The selfmade rich develop clear goals for their money. They may wish to retire early, or they may want to leave an estate to their children. The goals vary, but two things are consistent: they have a dollar figure in mindthe amount they want to save by age 50, perhaps – and they work unceasingly toward that goal. One thing may surprise you. If you make wealth – not just ine – your goal, the luxury house you’ve been dreaming about won’t seem so alluring.

Just about the last thing that we should do is to wait until their troubles have escalated in adolescence and then attack them with the provisions of the new Criminal Justice Bill. If this bill bees law, magistrates will have the power to impose residential care orders. More young people will be drawn into institutional life when all the evidence shows that this worsens rather than improves their prospects. The introduction of short sharp shocks in detention centers will simply give more young people a taste of something else they don’t need。第四十一篇： (Unit 11,Passage 1) In the last 12 years total employment in the United States grew faster than at any time in the peacetime history of any country – from 82 to 110 million between 1973 and 1985 – that is, by a full one third. The entire growth, however, was in manufacturing, and especially in no – bluecollar jobs… This trend is the same in all developed countries, and is, indeed, even more pronounced in Japan. It is therefore highly probable that in 25 years developed countries such as the United States and Japan will employ no larger a proportion of the labor force I n manufacturing than developed countries now employ in farming – at most, 10 percent. Today the United States employs around 18 million people in bluecollar jobs in manufacturing industries. By 2020, the number is likely to be no more than 12 million. In some major industries the drop will be even sharper. It is quite unrealistic, for instance, to expect that the American automobile industry will employ more than one –third of its present bluecollar force 25 years hence, even though production might be 50 percent higher. If a pany, an industry or a country does not in the next quarter century sharply increase manufacturing production and at the same time sharply reduce the bluecollar work force, it cannot hope to remain petitive – or even to remain ―developed.‖ The attempt to preserve such blue – collar jobs is actually a prescription for unemployment… This is not a conclusion that American politicians, labor leaders or indeed the general public can easily understand or accept. What confuses the issue even more it that the United States is experiencing several separate and different shifts in the manufacturing economy. One is the acceleration of the substitution of knowledge and capital for manual labor. Where we spoke of mechanization a few decades ago, we now speak of ―robotization ― or ―automation.‖ This is actually more a change in terminology than a change in reality. When Henry Ford introduced the assembly line in 1909, he cut the number of man – hours required to produce a motor car by some 80 percent in two or three years –far more than anyone expects to result from even the most plete robotization. But there is no doubt that we are facing a new, sharp acceleration in the replacement of manual workers by machines –that is, by the products of knowledge. to the author, the shrinkage in the manufacturing labor force demonstrates______. degree to which a country’s production is robotized reduction in a country’s manufacturing industries worsening relationship between labor and management difference between a developed country and a developing country to the author, in ing 25years, a developed country or industry, in order t remain competitive, ought to ___
