| The provision of positive incentives to
work in the new society will not be an easy task. But the most difficult task of
all is to devise the ultimate and final sanction to replace the ultimate
sanction of hunger--the economic whip of the old dispensation. Moreover, in a
society which rightly rejects the pretence of separating economies from politics
and denies the autonomy of the economic order, that sanction can be found only
in some conscious act of society. We can no longer ask the invisible hand to do
our dirty work for us. I confess that I am less horror-struck than some people at the prospect, which seems to me unavoidable, of an ultimate power of what is called direction of labor resting in some arm of society, whether in an organ of state or of trade unions. I should indeed be horrified if I identified this prospect with a r A. corrective measures. B. encouraging methods. C. preventive efforts. D. revolutionary actions. [单项选择]A break through in the provision of energy from the sun for the European Economic Community (EEC) could be brought forward by up to two decades, if a modest increase could be provided in the EEC’s research effort in this field, according to the senior EEC scientists engaged in experiments in solar energy at EEC’s scientific laboratories at Lspra, near Milan.
The senior West German scientist in charge of the Community’s solar energy programme, Mr. Joachim Gretz, told journalists that at present levels of research spending it was most unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three per cent of the Community’s energy requirements even after the year 2000. But he said that with a modest increase in the present sums devoted by the EEC to this work it was possible that the breakthrough could be achieved by the end of the next decade. Mr. Gretz calculates that if solar energy only provided three percent of the EEC’s needs, this could still produce a saving of about a b A.
