For them, the future will have arrived too soon.Western society for the past 300 years has caught up in a fire
3、 storm of change. This storm, far from abating, now appears to be gathering force.

Much oblivion.Is there some way to explain so strange scene without recourse to the jargon of psychoanalysis or the murky cliches of existentialism? A strange new society is apparently erupting in our midst. Is there a way to understand it, to shape
7、 its development? How can we come terms with it?Much that now strikes us as incomprehensible would be far less so if we took a fresh look at the racing rate of change that makes reality seem, sometimes, lik|aleidoscope run wild. For the acceleration of change does not merely buffet industries or nat

Not one person telephoned the police during the assault; one witness called after the woman was dead.Six days later, the police arrested
17、 Winston Moseley, a 29-year-old business machine operator, and charged him in homicide. Moseley had no previous record. He is married, has two children and owns a home at 133-19 Sutter Avenue, South Ozone Park, Queens. On Wednesday, a court committed him to Kings County Hospital for psychiatric obse

Proofread the following passageIt must be a spirit much unlike iny own, which can keep itself in health and vigor without sometimes stealing from the sultry sunshine of the world, to plunge
26、into the cool bath of solitude. At intervals, and not infrequent ones, the forest and the ocean summon me-one with the roar of its waves, the another with the murmur of its boughsforth 1)other from the haunts of men. But I must wander many a mile, ere I could stand beneath the shadow of even one pri
27、meval tree, much less be lost among the multitude of hoary trunks, and hidden from earth and sky by the mysterious of darksome foliage. Nothing is within my daily reach 2)mystery more like a forest than the acre or two of woodland near some suburban farm-house. When, therefore, the yearning for secl
28、usion becomes a necessity within me, I am drawn to the seashore, which extends its line of rude rocks and seldom trodden sands for leagues around our bay. Setting forth, at my last ramble, a September 3)on4)for5)peaceful.Highways and cross-paths are hastily traversed; and, clambering down a crag, I
29、find myself at the extremity of a long beach. How gladly the spirit leap forth, and suddenly enlarge its sense of being to the full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep! A greeting and a homage to the Sea! I descend over its margin, and dip my hand into the wave that meet me, and bathe my brow. Tha
30、t far-resounding roar is Oceans voice of welcome. His salt breath brings a blessing along with it. Now let us pace togetherthe readers fancy arm in arm with mine-this noble beach, which extends a mile or more from that craggy promontory to yonder rampart of broken rocks. Tn front, the sea; in the re
31、ar, a precipitous bank, the grassy verge of H is breaking away, year after year, and flings down its tufts of verdure upon the barrenness below. The beach itself is a broad space of sand, brown and sparkling,6)does.7)meets.8)whichwith hardly any pebbles intermixed. Near the waters edge there is awet
32、 margin, which glistens brightly in the sunshine, and reflectsobjects like a mirror; and as we tread along the glistening border, a dryspot flashes around each footstep, but grows moist again as we lift ourfeet. In some spots, the sand receives a comple|impression of the9)completesolesquare toe and
33、all; elsewhere, it is of such marble firmness, thatwe must stamp heavily to leave a print even of the iron-shod heel.Along the whole of this extensive beach gambols the surf-wave; now it makes a feint of dashing onward for a fury, yet dies away with a meek murmur, and does but kiss the strand; now,
34、after many such abortive efforts, it rears itself up in | unbroken line, heightening as it advances, without a speck of foam on its green crest. With how fierce a roar it10)anflings itself forward, and rushes far up the beach!(Excerpted from Footprints on the Seashore, by Nathaniel Hawthorne )Unit 4

Amorning, I bound myself with a hermits vow, to interchange no thoughts with man or woman, to share no social pleasure, but to derive all that days enjoyment from shore, and sea, and skyfrom my souls communion with these, and fr
36、om fantasies, and recollections, or anticipated realities. Surely here is enough to feed a human spirit()r| a single day. Farewell, then, busy world!

37、be a peace outlaw.V. Proofread the following passageA Grecian philosopher being asked why he wept for the death of his son, since the sorrow was in vain, replied, “I weep on that account. And his answer became his wisdom. It is only for sophists tocj contend that we whose eyes contain the fountains
38、of tears, need never give way to them. It would be unwise not to do so on some occasions. Sorrow1)tounlocks them in her balmy moods. The first bursts may be bitter and overwhelming; but the soil on where they pour would be worse without them. They refresh the fever of the soulthe dry misery which pa
39、rches the countenance into furrows, and renders us liable to our most terrible “fleshquakes. There are sorrows, it is true, so great, that to give them some of the ordinary vents is to run a hazard of being overthioxf. These we must rather strengthen ourselves to resist, or bow quietly and drily dow
40、n, in order to let them pass over us, as the traveller does the wind of the desert. But where we feel that tears2)which3)_overthrownwould relieve us, it is false philosophy to deny ourselves at least that first refreshment; and it is always false consolation to tell people that because they cannot h
41、elp a thing, they are not to mind. The true way is, to let them grapple with the unavoidable sorrow, and try to win it into gentleness by a reasonable yielding. There are griefs so gentle in their very nature that it would be worse that false heroism to refuse them | tear. Of this kind are the death
42、s of infants. Particular circumstances4)it5)as amay render it more or less advisable to indulge in grief for the loss of alittle child; but, in general, parents should be no more advised torepress their first tearssuch an occasion, than to repress their smilestowards a child surviving, or to indulge
43、 in any other sympathy. It is anappeal in the same gentle tenderness; and such appeals are never made in vain. The end of them is an acquittal from the harsher bonds of afflictionfrom the tying down of the spirit to one melancholy idea.6)on7)It is the nature of tears of this kind, however strongly t
44、hey may gush forth, to run into quiet waters at last. We cannot easilyl the whole course of our lives, think with pain of any good and kind person whom8)forwe have lost. It is the divine nature of their qualities to conquer pain and death itself; to turn the memory of them into pleasure; to survive
45、with a placid aspect in our imaginations. We are writing at thismoment just opposite a spot which contains the grave of oneinexpress|dear to us. We see from our windows the trees aboutit,9)lyand the church spire. The green fields lie around. The clouds are travelling overhead, alternately taking awa
46、y the sunshine and restoring it. The vernal winds, piping of the flowery summer-time, are nevertheless calling to mind the far-distant and dangerous ocean,which the heart that lies in that grave had many reasons to think of. And yet the sight of this spot does not give us pain. So far from it, it is
47、 the existence of that grave，)，doubles every charm of the spot; which links the pleasures of our childhood and manhood together; which puts a hushing tenderness in the winds and a patient joy upon the landscape; which seems to unite heaven and earth, mortality and immortality, the grass of the tomb and the grass of the green field; and gives a more maternal aspect to the whole kindness of nature. It does not hinder gaiety itself. Happiness was what its tenant, through all her troubles, would have diffused. To diffuse happiness, and to enjoy it, is not only carrying on her wish
