Passage Three
To a philosopher, wisdom is not the same as knowledge. Facts may be known in enormous numbers without the knower of them loving wisdom. Indeed, the person who possesses encyclopedic (学识渊博的) information may actually have a genuine contempt (轻视) for those who love and seek wisdom. The philosopher is not content with a mere knowledge of facts. He desires to combine and evaluate facts, and to examine beneath the obvious to the deeper orderliness behind the immediately given facts. Insight into the hidden depths of reality, perspective (洞察) on human life and nature in their entirety, in the words of Plato, to be a spectator of time and existence--these are the philosopher's objectives. Too great an interest in the small details of science, may, and often does, obscure these basic objectives.
Philosophers assume that the love of wisdom is a natural gift of the human being. Potentially every man is a philosopher because in the depths of his being there is an intense longing to penetrate to the meaning of the mysteries of existence. The inner deep longing expresses itself in various ways prior to any actual study of philosophy as a technical branch of human culture. Consequently every human being in so far as he has ever been or is a lover of wisdom has, to that extent, a philosophy of life.

A. The Potential Philosopher
B. The Philosophy of Plato
C. The Philosopher Versus the Scientist
D. The Philosopher Defined

It is well known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way of testing a student's memory, but it can tell you nothing about a student's ability. It does no good to students and teachers.
As soon as a child begins school, he enters a world of examination that will decide his future job.
In fact a good examination system should train a student to think for himself. But it now does nothing about that. Students are encouraged to remember what is taught. It does not enable them to gain more new knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be the best in their studies.
Besides, the examinations often force teachers to train students what to do with the coming examination from time to time. There must be some simpler and better way to test a student's ability besides knowledge. And that is what we should do at once.
The most suitable title of this passage is______.
A.Progress in the Field of Study
B.Teachers' Role in Study
C.How to Improve Students' Ability
D.Bad Points of the Examination System

We may be very pleased with the rapid progress we have made in every field of study. But the way to test a student's knowledge and ability still remains-as poor as it was. We have almost done nothing to improve our examination system.

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese.
Michael Jordan, a basketball player in whom commentators have discerned aristocratic qualities and supernatural powers, has retired from the game that made him one of the world's best known and best paid sportsmen.
Last week's announcement was premature by most people's measurement -- Jordan is 30 and at the height of his playing and earning power but it was not, by his own account, taken hastily, or rashly. "This is," he said, with a rare stumble, "the perfect timing for me to walk away."
After three championships with the Chicago Bulls, a second gold medal with the US team at the 1992 Olympics, Jordan felt his motivation slipping away. "I'm at the pinnacle," he told a thronged press conference. "I just feel I don't have anything else to prove."
But this explanation may appear too simple to satisfy the skeptics, who have recently discovered that Jordan does not lead an untroubled private life. First came the allegations that he gambled -- in a country where gambling is mostly illegal -- and that his gambling was out of control. Then his father was shot dead on July 23.
A large number of American presidents had experiences in the army. The two best known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight Eisenhower. Grant was a general in the American Civil War and Eisenhower was a hero in the Second World War. It happened that they graduated from the same school— West Point Military Academy (西点军校). One may be surprised to learn that both of them did not do well in the school. Eisenhower, for example, was once fined because he broke the roles of the school.
The jobs of the US president are tiring. He must keep an eye on anything important which happens both at home and abroad. Every day, a lot of work waits for him to do and he has to make many important decisions. When Franklin Roosevelt was a child, he was once brought to visit President Taft. The old president said to him, "When you grow up you should not be the president. It's a tiring job."
According to the passage, who regarded the jobs of the US president as tiring ones?
A.Grant.
B.Taft.
C.Eisenhower.
D.Roosevelt.

?Read the article below about how to deal with employees with trade secrets.
?Choose the best word to fill each gap from A, B, C or D on the opposite page.
?For each question 21-30, mark one letter (A, B, C or D ) on your Answer Sheet.
What if You're on the Receiving End?
For most employers, the principal concern is the employee who takes trade secrets to a new job -- but what about the employer who unwittingly hires someone who has stolen trade secrets?
An employer is going to be liable if he knew or he should have known that this employee was (21) with trade secrets. Thus, it's important to do an entrance interview (22) on trade secrets, ask him outright if he signed a nondisclosure agreement. If so, review it. Show the employee the (23) provisions of the Economic Espionage Act and have him sign a statement (24) that he understand what the potential liability is and he's not bringing any trade secrets with him.
There's a "very fine line" between hiring an employee for "general knowledge, skills and experience" and hiring an employee to gain (25) to a competitor's trade secrets. But, if the (26) employer has not specified to the worker what information is secret and what information is not, you will be well insulated if you have the worker sign a one-page form. in which he or she agrees not to (27) company policy against disclosing or using the trade secret of former employer.
But once an employer is on (28) that an employee is using someone else's trade secrets, the employer must (29) action: even then, the employer may not be able to avoid liability entirely.
Firing an offending employee as soon as the misappropriation is discovered may not (30) the employer of liability, but it goes a long way toward showing a judge or jury that the company limited the damage to the extent that they could.
(21)
A.presented
B.dealing
C.entrusted
D.coming
