问题：问答题The Environment in Perspective:Is Everything Getting Steadily Worse? Much of the discussion of environmental problems in the popular press leaves the reader with the impression that matters have been growing steadily worse, and that pollution is largely a product of the profit system and modern industrialization. There are environmental problems today that are both enormous and pressing, but in fact pollution is nothing new. Medieval cities were pestholes—the streets and rivers were littered with garbage and the air stank of rotting wastes. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, a German traveler reported that to get a view of London from the tower of St. Paul’s, one had to get there very early in the morning “before the air was full of coal smoke.” Since 1960 there has been progress in solving some pollution problems, much of it the result of concerted efforts to protect the environment. The quality of the air in most Canadian cities has improved. In Toronto, for example, the concentration of suspended particulates, or soot, in the air has fallen dramatically since 1962. To put this figure in perspective, it should be noted that the current health advisory level for the index is 32. At a level of 58, people with chronic respiratory diseases may be affected. At 100, even healthy people may be affected by prolonged conditions, and those with cardiac and respiratory diseases could suffer severe effects Recently in Toronto, the index has exceeded 32 on fewer than half a dozen days annually. Similar improvements have occurred elsewhere in Canada and in other industrialized countries. Even the famous, or rather infamous, “fogs” of London are almost a thing of the past. There have been two high readings of particular note in the British capital in 1959 (when the index rose to 275 and there was a 10 percent increase over the normal number of deaths) and in 1962 (when the index rose to 575 and there was a 20 percent increase in mortality). But more recently, London’s, cleaner air has resulted in an astounding 50 percent increase in the number of hours of winter sunshine. In short, pollution problems are not a uniquely modem phenomenon, nor is every part of the environment deteriorating relentlessly. Environmental problems do not occur exclusively in capitalist economies. For example, in the People’s Republic of China, coal soot from factory smokestacks in Beijing envelops the city in a thick black haze. Similarly, smoke from brown-coal furnaces pollutes the air almost everywhere in Eastern Europe. It has been estimated that a third of Poland’s citizens live in areas of “ecological disaster”. The citizens of Leipzig, a major industrial city in what was formerly East Germany, have a life expectancy a full six years shorter than the national average. However, we do not mean to suggest that all is well with the environment in market-oriented economies or that there is nothing more to do. While there have been some improvements, serious problems remain. Our world is now subject to a number of new pollutants, most of which are far more dangerous than those we have reduced, even though they may be less visible and less malodorous While environmental problems are neither new nor confined only to capitalist, industrialized economies, these facts are not legitimate grounds for complacency. The potential damage that we are inflicting on ourselves and on our surroundings is very real and very substantial.

问题：问答题Folklore and Festivals in Sweden Sweden is a land of contrasts; in the north, where forests fade into frozen ground, the influence of tradition and folklore is strong. In the milder, more fertile south, the customs are basically those of continental Europe. In Sweden, legends exist in people’s everyday life. Hunting legends, for example, tell how men have been turned into beasts by magic. It is thought unlucky to see a hare in the morning but to meet a wolf or a bear is an omen that hunting will be good. And there are some ancient customs about birth. When a child is born, the women of the family must carry it three times around its parents’ hearth and then examine it for birth marks. If a child is covered in the membrane, that means it will always be accompanied by a guardian spirit. It is feared that children who lack the protection of a guardian spirit may be stolen by witches and turned into disembodied spirits. A country wedding in Sweden is also very interesting. It is celebrated with traditional festivities~ The bridegroom must formally ask for the bride’s hand in the barn, because this is where the dowry is stored. On the wedding day the women of the family help the bride to dress in national costume, which includes silver jewelry and a bridal crown. Meanwhile friends and male relations wait in the kitchen, drinking beer. When the bride is ready, all the relatives and guests form a procession, which is led by young men on horseback. They meet the groom’s procession at the church and greetings, symbolizing the kinship which now unites the two families, are exchanged. When the wedding service ends, the guests go to the bride’s house for the marriage feast. The Swedes have many traditional festivals. The first of the great Swedish festivals is celebrated from April 30 to May 2. The night of April 30 is named Walpurgis Night and during it the forces of Life and Spring are said to triumph over Death and Winter While the festival lasts, bonfires are lit each evening—-first on the hilltops and then, in answer, in the valleys. These fires are a signal for the festivals to begin. They continue until dawn. In southern Sweden, poetry and singing competitions take place around the bonfires, and the winners receive prizes and kisses from the prettiest girls. Besides the Walpurgis Night, there are other festivals: for example, the Feast of the Sun is the great summer festival in June. The Blessing of the Lobsters is a festival in August in which people enjoy lobsters. While the Festival of the Goose is in the bleak November. On that day it is customary to serve a soup with goose blood. Even Christmas in Sweden is rich in tradition and folklore. It has absorbed the customs of the ancient festival of the winter solstice and new year. The Swedes do not have Santa Clause. What they have is Christmas Gnome. Children welcome his arrival by putting out generous helpings of Christmas cake for him to eat. And in the country districts, people throw gifts through the open windows of houses, together with straw figures of men and animals, for good luck.

问题：问答题进入新世纪以来，中国的经济增长大部分时间保持在10％以上。严峻的国际环境也对中国产生了不利影响，去年第四季度经济增速下降到6．8％，今年一季度为6．1％。虽然增速仍在下滑，但由于一系列扩大内需政策效果逐步显现，下滑幅度缩小，增速趋稳。一季度固定资产投资增长28．8％，高于去年水平，预计投资增长将在财政货币政策作用下继续加快；社会消费品零售总额实际增长l5．9％，同比增速有所提高，但短期内消费需求难以做到大幅增长；进出口总额同比下降了24．9％，在主要经济体尚未复苏的情况下，进出口难有大的起色。此外，影响中国经济的不确定、不稳定因素还较多。未来中国经济增长很大程度上取决于扩大内需，投资的增加将扮演重要角色。扩大投资要注意保民生、保就业和产业结构调整相结合，加快形成实物工作量，拉动即期需求。扩大消费的主要动力在农村和城市中等收入群体，我们的政策措施应继续向这方面倾斜。我相信，中国经济增长将为世界经济复苏和亚洲经济稳定发挥重要作用。
