初一英语听力材料：为什么不快乐

为什么不快乐

There are a great many people who have all the material conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, nevertheless, are profoundly unhappy. In one sense, we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on impulse, and are happy as long as external conditions are favorable. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an occasional night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too apt to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount objective, and restrain all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private affections. When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except harrying other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example. Many rich ladies, although nature has not endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure in literature or art, decide to be thought cultured, and spend boring hours learning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written to give delight, not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism

初一英语听力资料：俄罗斯政治

Russian politics

俄罗斯政治

Fear and loathing

恐慌与厌恶同在

How the Kremlin is using the law for political ends

克里姆林宫如何操纵法律以达政治目的

For generations of Russian leaders, the law has been a tool of state power, not a limit on its abuse. In recent months, as Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, and his advisers have navigated an unfamiliar political environment, they too have fallen back on a kind of nominal legalism, in which the law is less for protecting the citizenry than an instrument of power.

对于几代俄罗斯领导人而言，法律已经成为他们攫取国家权力的工具，而不再是限制权力滥用的利器。最近几个月以来，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京及其顾问开创了一种不同的政治局面，从而回归到了一种名义上的守法主义之路上。如此，法律与其说是用来保护民众利益，不如说是一种权力工具。
