1. It is found that all people who travel in foreign countries can be found judging what they see, hear and eat according to
their own habits and customs. People who have read a lot about foreign countries are usually more adaptable and tolerant, but this is because their minds have already been broadened before they start traveling. But reality makes things difficult. Actually physical contact with things one is not used to is much more difficult to bear philosophically.
人们发现，所有在国外旅行的人都根据他们自己的风俗习惯来评价他们的所见所闻和他们所吃的东西。凡是广泛阅读有关外国情况的书刊的人，他们往往比较能适应，比较宽容，这是因为他们在开始旅行之前，他们的心胸以及比较开阔了。但是一旦接触到现实，事情就难办了。人们在直接接触到自己不习惯的事物时，要容忍，谅解就难得多了。
2. Although color television and video recording are gaining greater popularity and may be threatening the future of the
movies, motion pictures in the United States have somewhat managed to cope with the crisis in the 70’s and remain one of the favorite forms of entertainment of the people. Besides motion picture theaters all over the country, there are about 4,000 “drivers-in ”, where people sit in their own cars, watching domestic or foreign films.
虽然彩色电视和磁带录像日益普及，可能威胁到电影业的前途，但美国电影已在某种程度上克服了其70年代的危机。如今仍是一种人们喜爱的娱乐方式。现在美国除了遍及各地的电影院之外，大约还有四千个汽车电影场，人们在那里可以坐在自己的汽车中观看国内外电影。
3. 就某种程度而言，这并不是什么新鲜事：一些教授潜心学术，不善交际，犹如一座封闭的孤岛。他们与书本在一
起比与人在一起感到更自在。但是这种新型的贫困进一步扩大了教师与学生之间的鸿沟。因为即使有些教授愿意与学生在一起，他们也没有那么多的时间。他们也在超负荷地工作。
To some extent this is nothing new: a certain number of professors have always been self-contained islands of scholarship and shyness, more comfortable with books than with people. But the new pauperism has widened the gap still further, for professors who actually like to spend time with students don ’t have as much time to spend. They also overexerting.
4. 工人和雇员感到焦虑，不仅因为他们有可能会失业（而且分期付款的期限也到了），而且还因为他们无法从生活
中获得任何真正的满足和乐趣。他们从生到死都不曾正视过人类生存的基本现实—人应该是在情感上和智力上富有创造力的，真实而独立的人。
The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find out job (and with installment payment due); they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually productive, authentic and independent human beings.
5. summary :（09年考的是写读后感，2010年改成是根据原文意思写一篇大约100 Words summary）
Charlie Chaplin with his bowler hat, cane, and overlarge shoes was a genius and the most popular comic creator of all times. He spent his miserable childhood in the London slums. It was this world of his suffering youth that he often transformed with his imagination onto the movie screen. Charlie was not afraid to deal with controversial subjects in his films, shortly after the American troops returned from World WarⅠ, he released a film that parodied war and it was well received. Two other subjects that he parodied in his films were capitalism and the inhuman destruction of the machine age.
