The most general definition that can be given, is, that the Philosophy of History means nothing but the thoughtful consideration of it. Thought is, indeed, essential to humanity. (46) It is this that distinguishes us from the brutes. In sensation, cognition and intellection; in our instincts and wills, as far as they are truly human, Thought is an invariable element.
The only Thought which Philosophy brings with it to the contemplation of History, is the simple conception of Reason; that Reason is the Sovereign of the World; (47) that the history of the world, therefore, presents us with a rational process. This conviction and intuition is a hypothesis in the domain of history as such. In that of Philosophy it is no hypothesis. It is there proved by speculative cognition that Reason--and this term may here suffice us, without investigating the relation sustained by the Universe to the Divine Being, is Substance, as well as Infinite Power; its own Infinite Ma -

Yasuhisa Shizoki, a SI-year-old MP from Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), starts tapping his finger on the dismal economic chart on his coffee table. "Unless we change the decision-making process," he says bluntly, "we are not going to be able to solve this kind of problem." With the economy in such a mess, it may seem a bit of a diversion to be trying to sort out Japan’s political structures as well as its economic problems.
Since co-writing a report on political reform, which was released by an LDP panel last week, Mr. Shizoki has further upset the party’s old guard. Its legionaries, flanked by columns of the bureaucracy, continue to hamper most attempts to overhaul the economy. Junichiro Koizumi was supposed to change all that, by going over their heads and appealing directly to the public. Yet nearly a year after becoming prime minister, Mr. Koizumi has precious little to show for his efforts. Hi
A. cabinets who are held liable for their policies.
B. those who work in LDP's party committees.
C. candidates for two higher LDP bodies.
D. those who are strong in favor of reforms. -

(41) What do you need in order to be a record breaker
Sports experts agree that the single most important factor in creating a champion is genetic make-up., the possession of genes that impart an innate ability to stride leap, burn energy efficiently or suck lots of oxygen from the air. "The great athletes are genuine statistical outliers... physiological freaks," says sports scientist Craig Sharp of Brunel University in Middlesex, UK.
(42) How will we find or create the next generation of champion athletes
The most likely way is to widen our search to find someone with a genetic makeup that allows him or her to surpass other athletes. When East African runners began competing internationally, for example, it became apparent that their light frame make them uniquely economical in their use of energy.
(43) Have we reached the limit of human performance
No, but records are being broken by ever narrower margins. -

Shortly after September 11th, President Bush’s father observed that just as Pearl Harbor awakened this country from the notion that we could somehow avoid the call of duty to defend freedom in Europe and Asia in World War Ⅱ, so, too, should this most recent surprise attack erase the concept in some quarters that America can somehow go it alone in the fight against terrorism or in anything else for that matter.
But America’s allies have begun to wonder whether that is the lesson that has been learned--or whether the Afghanistan campaign’s apparent success shows that unilateralism works just fine. The United States, that argument goes, is so dominant that it can largely afford to go it alone.
It is true that no nation since Rome has loomed so large above the others, but even Rome eventually collapsed. Only a decade ago, the conventional wisdom lamented an America in decline. Bestseller lists featured books that described Ameri
A. It underlies power.
B. It is to be pursued enthusiastically.
C. It is second to terrorism.
D. It is to be dealt with cautiously. -

Europe is desperate to succeed in business. Two years ago, the European Union’s Lisbon summit set a goal of becoming the world’s leading economy by 2010. But success, as any new-age executive coach might tell you, requires confronting the fear of failure. That is why Europe’s approach to bankruptcy urgently needs reform.
In Europe, as in the United States, many heavily indebted companies are shutting up shop just as the economy begins to recover. Ironically, the upturn is often the moment when weak firms finally fail. But America’s failures have a big advantage over Europe’s weaklings: their country’s more relaxed approach to bankruptcy.
In the United States the Chapter 11 law makes going bust an orderly and even routine process. Firms in trouble simply apply for breathing space from creditors. Managers submit a plan of reorganization to a judge, and creditors decide whether to give it a go or to come up wi
A. take advantage of legal procedures.
B. ask for the government's interventions.
C. damage the creditors' potential assets.
D. talk with their stern debtors abroad. -

For Tony Blair, home is a messy sort of place, where the prime minister’s job is not to uphold eternal values but to force through some unpopular changes that may make the country work a bit better. The area where this is most obvious, and where it matters most, is the public services. Mr. Blair faces a difficulty here which is partly of his own making. By focusing his last election campaign on the need to improve hospitals, schools, transport and policing, he built up expectations. Mr. Blair has said many times that reforms in the way the public services work need to go alongside increases in cash.
Mr. Blair has made his task harder by committing a classic negotiating error. Instead of extracting concessions from the other side before promising his own, he has pledged himself to higher spending on public services without getting a commitment to change from the unions. Why, given that this pledge has been made, should the health unions give gro
A. at a dangerous stage.
B. for lack of investment.
C. in the interests of workers.
D. on the verge of collapse. -
