Raymond Schneider politely made his way through crowds of customers as he made for the candy bins at Dylan"s Candy Bar in Manhattan. Since he was out of employment, Mr. Schneider, a 33-year-old designer, says he has become a person who always buys a lot of sweets every time he shops for groceries. "Sugar is comforting," he said. "There"s nothing more stressful than growing financial insecurity (不安 全感) everywhere." The recession (经济衰退) seems to have a sweet tooth. As unemployment has risen, Americans, particularly adults, have been consuming (消费) growing amounts of candy. Theories vary on exactly why. For many, sugar lifts spirits dragged low by the economy. For others, candy also reminds them of better times. And not importantly, it is relatively cheap. At Candyality, a store in Chicago, business has jumped by nearly 80 percent and the owner, Terese McDonald, said she was struggling to keep up with the demand for Bit-O-Honeys, and Sour Balls. Many big candy makers are also reporting rising sales and big profits (利润). "It"s not surprising." said Peter Liebhold, chairman of the Smithsonian Institution"s work and industry division. "During the Great Depression in the 1930"s, candy companies stayed in business." |

Commencement (毕业典礼) is a time for idealism. But economic reality is cruel everywhere; especially for new graduate. They have been told repeatedly that a college degree is an open sesame(芝麻) to the global economy. But that"s not necessarily so, according to new research by two economists at he Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Frank Levy and Peter Temin. It is true that people with college degrees make more money than people without degrees. The gap has narrowed somewhat in recent years, which is disturbing. But the earning power of college graduates still far outpaces that of less-educated workers. The bad news, though, is that a college degree does not ensure a bigger share of the economics pie for many graduates. In recent decades Mr. Levy and Mr. Temin show, only college-educated women have seen their income grow in line with economy wide gains in productivity. The earnings of male college graduates have failed to keep pace with productivity gains. Instead, a huge share of productivity growth, which expands the nation"s income, is going to Americans on the top of the income scale. In 2005, the latest year with available data, the top of 1 percent of Americans-whose average annual income was $ 1.1 million- took in 21.8 percent of the nation"s income, their largest share since 1929. Administration officials, and other politicians and economists, often, believe that income inequality, reflects an education gap. But Mr. Levy and Mr. Temin show that in the case of men, the average bachelor"s degree is not enough to catch the rising tide of the global economy. They argue that the real reason that inequality is worsening is the lack of strong policies that broadly distribute economic gains. In the past, for example, a more progressive income tax and unions promote equality. Positive measures have been eroding and new ones have not yet emerged, making the income gap even greater. Mr. Levy and Mr. Temin conclude that only a new government policy can restore general prosperity. That"s a challenge to the nation"s leader and today"s graduates. America needs them to contribute to the development of the nation in global economy. |

He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. "I"m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation," he said. "If it"s not changed, then we"ll look the F.T.C, and if that doesn"t work then we"ll look at legislative approach."

McDonnell, who has made oil drilling off Virginia"s coast, one of his administration"s top tasks, flew to Houston on Monday to advertise the benefits of offshore drilling at a national conference. He told reporters before he left that he does not want to postpone drilling but to learn from the accident off Louisiana"s coast. "What we do as Americans is that we find out what went wrong and how can we do things better, " Mc Donnell said."I think that"s the spirit of American people." President Obama announced in March that Virginia will become one of the first East Coast states to drill offshore for oil and natural gas.Companies could conduct exploratory drilling in Virginia"s waters 50 miles off the coast late next year or early in 2012. In Virginia Beach, the state"s largest city and one that relies heavily on tourism, Mayor Will Sessoms said he would be worried if the timetable was not changed.Sessoms supported drilling and helped the city pass a resolution (决议) in favor of it, in part to help the tourism industry by keeping the cost of gas down.But, he said, the Louisiana accident was a wakeup call. "It"s alarming to me, " Sessoms said."It gives me great concern." Obama swore Friday that no expansion of offshore oil drilling would take place until investigations into the Louisiana accident were complete. Virginia"s officials, who support drilling, said they agree that drilling should be delayed.Sen.Mark Warner said it was "appropriate" for Obama to delay offshore projects.McDonnell said he wants to see a full investigation into the Louisiana accident, but he still thinks that drilling could begin off Virginia"s coast as soon as next year or early 2012. McDonnell has also said that drilling off Virginia"s coast would create thousands of jobs, as well as lessen US dependence on foreign oil. A recent explosion and fire on an exploratory well in the Gulf (海湾) of Mexico left 11 workers missing and dead.Crude oil (原油) has been leaking into the gulf since, inching closer to the coasts of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. The accident confirmed the worst fears of environmental groups and people already worried that possible spills (溢出) could harm plants, animals, and tourism. |

Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value . The concept dates back to1623,when the first patent law to protect IP rights was passed. IP rights protect an artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another. For example. if somebody generates an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights. If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use. Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing , but today, intellectual property rights are also enjoyedby those who create music, art and literature. In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the Internet. Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store;if a novel,from a bookstore. In those days,IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it. However, a lot of IP, including songs,films,books and artwork,can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet. This practice has now taken the world by storm,dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights. |
1. According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to_______. |
A. those creating music, art and literature B. novelists C. engineers and inventors D. those not receiving financial reward for their work |
2. What do we know about the Internet according to the passage? |
A. It makes IP rights harder to protect. B. It sells songs and films. C. It does not affect the way we understand IP rights. D. It prevents the production of artwork. |
3. According to Paragraph 2,what has "taken the world by storm"? |
A. Intellectual property rights. B. The Internet. C. Free downloading. D. The large number of songs, films and books. |
4. A possible title for this passage could be_______. |
A. A History of IP Rights B. Ways to Protect Your IP Rights C. The Present and the Future of IP D.IP Rights and Our Attitudes |
