观察和评价一个国家的人权状况，应考虑到该国的历史，社会、经济、文化等条件，不能割断该国的历史、脱离该国的国情，更不能按一个模式或某个国家或区域的情况来简单套用。各国的人权问题主要由各国政府和人民自己来解决，世界的人权问题要由世界各国政府和人民共同参与来解决。

To observe and evaluate the status of human rights in a country, we should take into consideration the historical, social, economic and cultural conditions of the very country instead of cutting off the history, divorcing from the current situations of the country, not to mention applying one model or the situation of a certain country or area to all the countries mechanically. Each country's human rights problem should be solved mainly by its own government and people, while that of the world by governments and people from all over the world together．

Passage 55. Stress and Relaxation It is commonly believed that only rich middle-aged businessmen suffer from stress. In fact anyone may become ill as a result of stress if they experience a lot of worry over a long periodand their health is not especially good. Stress can be a friend or an enemy: it can warn you that you are under too much pressure and should change your way of life. It can kill you if you don't notice the warning signals. Doctors agree that it is probably the biggest single cause of illness in the Western world. When we are very frightened and worried our bodies produce certain chemicals to help us fight what is troubling us.

Unfortunately, these chemicals produce the energy needed to run away fast from an object off ear, and in modern life that's often impossible. If we don't use up these chemicals, or if we produce too many of them, they may actually harm us. The parts of the body that are most affected by stress are the stomach, heart,skin, head and back.

Stress can cause car accidents, heart attacks, and alcoholism, and may even drive people to suicide. Our living and working conditions may put us under stress. Overcrowding in large cities,traffic jams, competition for jobs, worry about the future, any big changes in our lives, may cause stress. Some British doctors have pointed out that one of Britain's worst waves of influenza happened soon after the new coins came into use. Also if you have changed jobs or moved house in recent months you are more likely to fall ill than if you haven't. And more people commit suicide in times of inflation. As with all illnesses, prevention is better than cure.If you find you can't relax, it is a sign of danger. "When you're taking work home, when you can't enjoy an evening with friends, when you haven't time for outdoor exercise—that is the time to stop and ask yourself whether your present life really suits you." Says one family doctor. " Then it's time to join a relaxation class, or take up dancing, painting or gardening."

Passage 53. Choosing an Occupation Dear sir,

I am very sorry that the pressure of other occupations has prevented me from sending nearlier reply to your letter. In my opinion a man's first duty is to find a way of supportinghimself, thereby relieving other people of the necessity of supporting him. Moreover, thelearning to do work of practical value in the world,in an exact and careful manner, is of itself avery important education,the effects of which make themselves felt in all other pursuits. Thehabit of doing that which you do not care about when you would much rather be doingsomething else, is invaluable. It would have saved me a frightful waste of time if I had ever hadit drilled into me in youth. Success in any scientific career requires an unusual equipment of capacity, industry, and energy. If you possess that equipment, you will find leisure enoughafter your daily commercial work is over, to make an opening in the scientific ranks foryourself. If you don't, you had better stick to commerce.Nothing is less to be desired than thefate of a young man who, as the Scotch proverb says, in "trying to make a spoon spoils a horn," and becomes a mere hanger—on in literature or in science, when he might have been auseful and a valuable member of Society in other occupations.I think that your father ought tosee this letter.

Yours faithfully,

T. H. Huxley

The unfortunate millionaire has the responsibility of tremendous wealth without the possibilityof enjoying himself more than any ordinary rich man. Indeed, in many things he cannot enjoyhimself more than many poor men do, nor even so much, for a drum major is better dressed,atrainer's stable lad often rides a better horse; the first—class carriage is shared by office boystaking their young ladies out for the evening;everybody who goes down to Brighton for Sundayrides in the Pullman car; and for what use is it to be able to pay for a peacock's brain sandwichwhen there is nothing to be had but ham or beef? The injustice of this state of things has notbeen sufficiently considered. A man with an income of ￡25 a year can multiply his comfort beyond all calculation by doubling his income. A man with ￡50 a year can at least quadruplehis comfort by doubling his income. Probably up to even ￡250 a year doubled income meansdoubled comfort. After that the increment of comfort grows less in proportion to the increment of income until a point is reached at which the victim is satiated and even surfeitedwith everything that money can purchase.

To expect him to enjoy another hundred thousand pounds because men like money, is exactlyas if you were to expect a confectioner's shopboy to enjoy two hours more work a day becauseboys are fond of sweets. What can the wretched millionaire do that needs a million? Does hewant a fleet of yachts, a Rotten Row full of carriages, an army of servants, a whole city of townhouses, or a continent for a game preserve? Can he attend more than one theatre inone—evening, or

wear more than one suit at a time, or digest more meals than his butler? Andyet there is no sympathy for this hidden sorrow of plutocracy. The poor alone are pitied.Societies spring up in all directions to relieve all sorts of comparatively happy people, but nohand is stretched out to the millionaire,except to beg.In all our dealings with him lies implicit,the delusion that he has nothing to complain of, and that he ought to be ashamed of rollingin wealth whilst others are starving.
