- 英译汉 “Sustainability” has become a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed through everyday action and choice. Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. He’d been through the dot-com boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency. It didn’t go well. “It was a really bad move because that’s not my passion,” says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. “I was miserable. I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said, ‘Just wait, you’ll turn the corner, give it some time.’”

参考答案 最近，“承受力”已经成为了一个流行词。但是，对特德·宁来说，他对这个词有着自身的体会。在忍受了一段痛苦的、难以为继的生活之后，他清楚地认识到，以提高承受力为导向的生活价值必须通过每日的行为和抉择来体现。
宁回忆了在上个世纪90年代末的浑浑噩噩的一年，那时他卖保险。在经历了网络经济的兴盛和衰败之后，他急需一份工作，于是和一家博德的代理公司签了合约。
事情进展不顺，“那的确是很糟糕的选择，因为不是我热情所在，”宁如是说。不出所料，工作上的窘境造成销售业绩不佳。“我很痛苦，焦虑不安以致常常会在半夜醒来，盯着天花板发愣。我没钱，需要这份工作。每个人都说，等等看，会有转机的，慢慢来。”

- 7 【英译汉】 My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realized I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is one of my favorite activities. But, to be honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream ---I knew that no one could imagine me in the fashion industry at all! So I decided to look for some fashion-related courses that included writing. This is when I noticed the course “Fashion Media & Promotion”.

- 9 【英译汉】 An old saying has it that half of all advertising budgets are wasted—the trouble is，no one knows which half. In the Internet age, at least in theory, this fraction can be much reduced. By watching what people search for，click on and say online, companies can aim "behavioural" ads at those most likely to buy. In the past couple of weeks a quarrel has illustrated the value to advertisers of such fine-grained information: Should advertisers assume that people are happy to be tracked and sent behavioural ads? Or should they have explicit permission? In December 2010 America's Federal Trade Commission (FTC) proposed adding a "do not track" (DNT) option to Internet browsers, so that users could tell advertisers that they did not want to be followed. In February the FTC and the Digital Advertising Alliance agreed that the industry would get cracking on responding to DNT requests.
