Treading the world stage　　Yet this is not a time for the usual Brussels name game. The idea of a permanent president of the European Council was resisted by many smaller countries. But now it is being created, it would be ludicrous to fill it with a minor figure; a Juncker or a Schüssel. To the outside world—India or China, say—the president will speak for Europe. If the EU wants to be a serious global actor, that points to a world figure. Unless Ms Merkel steps forward, which is improbable, the only such person in the running is Mr. Blair.　　And there are two other arguments for him. First, he would disprove the notion that senior EU people must come from countries that join in all EU policies, including the euro, defence and justice and home affairs.This line was used to block Chris Patten as a commission president in 2004. But in an increasingly multispeed Europe, it would rule out nominees from more than half the EU countries. The EU president will not represent his government—indeed, though Mr. Brown says he backs Mr. Blair, few believe he is wholly sincere.  If the criterion is “Europeanness”, France, Italy and Germany should be disqualified as they are the worst offenders when it comes to breaching EU rules. Europe might end up being run only by Belgians and Luxembourgeois.　　Mr. Blair has a second advantage: he would remind the notoriously sceptical British that they are important players. This worked only up to a point with Roy Jenkins as commission president in the late 1970s. Three decades on, a British EU president would give pause to those who maintain that Britain never has any influence in Brussels. As one top Eurocrat sums it up, “the boldest choice for Europe would be the three Bs: Blair, Barroso and Bildt.” If it works in classical music, why not for Europe?

    问答题
    China has the greatest population in the world and a large pool of research workers, yet it has not produced a single Nobel Prize winner so far. What has caused this situation in your opinion? State your opinion in about 160 words, and write it on the answer sheet.

    正确答案：
    We can often hear the news that an American scientist or a Poland researcher get the Nobel Prize for certain inventions or findings, but China, with the greatest population in the world and a large number of research workers, yet has not produced a single Nobel Prize winner so far. There are various reasons for that.
    First, there are serious problems in the educational system in China. The Chinese education has long been examination-oriented, which means that students are just forced to swallow the existing knowledge, without thinking much about it. Thus, the researchers think that the systems fostered are lacking in a sense of creativity.
    Second, there is too little academic communication between China and the outside world. Due to some historical reasons, China had been isolated from the outside world. Thus it lags behind other countries in science and technology. So what scientists in China are doing now is mainly a repeat of their western counterparts.
    Realizing the problems, the government has made many adjustments: the quality-oriented education is gradually taking the place of the examination-oriented one and a great number of leading technology and experts from the foreign countries are brought in. So, it’s certain that in the near future there will be Nobel Prizewinners in China.

English is even the working language of international air travel. For the first time in history, a single language has become dominant across a wide range of human activity, ranging from music, film and fine arts to the fields of business, diplomacy, science and technology.

    Practice 1　　No one knows what time itself is. We cannot see it. We cannot touch it. We cannot hear it. We know it only by the way we mark its passing. For all our success in measuring the tiniest parts of time, time remains one of the great mysteries of the universe.　　One way of thinking about time is to imagine a world without time. There could be no movement, because time and movement cannot be separated. A world without time could exist only as long as there were no changes. For time and change are linked. When something changes, you know time has passed.

    正确答案：
    【参考译文】
    时间本身究竟是什么,没有人知道。时间是看不见、摸不着、也听不到的。我们标出时间的消逝,通过这种方式,我们才知道了时间。尽管我们能成功地测定出极其短暂的一段时间,但是对我们来说,时间仍然是宇宙间最大的奥秘之一。
    思索时间的一种方式是设想一个没有时间的世界。在这个世界里也不会有运动,因为时间和运动是分不开的。没有时间的世界只能在没有任何变化的条件下存在,因为时间和变化是联系在一起的。当事物发生了变化,时间也就消逝了。
