1 P75历史业已证明,人类对于资源的认识、开发和利用,以及利用资源制造生产工具的能 力, 是社会生产力发展水平的重要标志, 也在一定程度上决定了一定的社会基本结构和发展 形态。
It has been proved through out the history that human’s recognition, exploitation, and utilization of the resources as well as the ability to make production tools not only are important indicators of development level social productive force, but also, to some extent, determine the basic structure and development formation of a certain society.
2 P75人的一生经历无数次选择,即无数次机会的把握。正确的选择可以造就生命中灿烂的 前程, 错误的选择可以毁掉生活的梦想而感受遗憾的苦果。 选择需要高深的思维功底, 选择 需要切合实际的判断能力, 选择需要谨慎的态度, 选择需要果断的决断, 选择需要充裕的时 间。
People was experienced many choices through their whole life, that is, the numerous opportunities to grasp. The right choice in life can lead to a bright future; but the wrong choice can ruin lives and the dream of feeling the bitter fruit of regret. Require higher thinking skills and realistic ability to judge with cautions, the need to choose the decisive decision to choose needs plenty of time.
3 P79As an important means for preserving knowledge, various literatures have become precious resources or treasures for the mankind, which have greatly contributed to the social progress of the human race.
Professional literature have been regarded as “intangible assets” of the whole world because they are, on the one hand, the summary, generalization, and development of the achievements obtained on the basis of previous experiences or studies; and on the other hand, they have been accumulated and handed down from generation to generation. In this sense, therefore, all kinds of literature are records of precious research findings and academic achievements, and crystallization of human civilization.
4 P89商标通常是销售或厂家的一种有价财产,因为它一方面象征着经销公司的声望,另一 方面又是产品及服务的标志。 因此, 当某一公司及其资产被出售时, 其商标既可以出售, 又 可以转让他人。只要具有有效的质量监控措施,商标亦可特许他人使用。绝大多数快餐店, 如肯德基炸鸡或其他一些特许经营者,只要得到总公司的许可,都可使用总公司的商标。
Trademark, usually traded as an valuable property of sellers or manufactures, because, on the one hand, trademark was regarded as the prestige of dealer, on the other hand, as the indicator of products and services.

As long as effective measures of quality control exist, the trademark can also be used by others with authority. The majority of snack bar, such as Kentucky Fried
Chicken or some other franchise, as long as getting the permission from the head company, can use its trademark.
5 P91Copyright, body of legal rights that protect creative works from being reproduced, performed, displayed, or disseminated by others without permission. The owner of copyright has the exclusive right to reproduce a protected work; to prepare other works based on the protected work; to sell, rent, or lend copies of the protected work to the public; to perform protected works in public; and to display copyrighted works publicly. These basic exclusive rights of copyright owners are subject to exceptions depending on the type of work and the type of use made by others.
The term work used in copyright law refers to any original creation of authorship fixed in a tangible medium. Thus, works that can be protected by copyright include literary pieces, music compositions, dramatic selections, dances, photographs, drawings, paintings, sculptures, diagrams, advertisements, maps, motion pictures, radio and television programs, sound recordings, and computer software programs.
Copyright does not protect an idea or concept; it only protects the way in which an author has expressed an idea or concept. If, for example, a scientist publishes an article explaining a new process for making a medicine, the copyright prevents others from copying the article, but it does not prevent anyone from using the process described to prepare the medicine. In order to protect the process, the scientist must obtain a patent.
