  《新民晚报》复刊时,曾为确立新的办报理念产生过一场辩论。有人主张,“为民分忧,与民同乐”合适;有人认为,“为国分忧,与民同乐”好。你的看法是哪一种?请简述其理由。

答:_______________________________________________________  

答案

 【参考示例1】:我认为主张“为民分忧,与民同乐”合适。其一、这个理念表明了报纸与读者的关系,报纸理当为民服务;其二、《新比晚报》非党政机关报,既然作为民众喉舌,就应与民忧乐与共;其三、为民分忧,其最终目的虽然也是为国分忧,但“为民分忧”理念更具体,可操作,更能体现编辑、作者与读者的密切关系。

 【参考示例2】:我认为“为国分忧,与民同乐”好。一是这个理念有高度,能鲜明地体现报人的爱国情怀;二是这个理念也表明了报纸与国家、人民的依存关系,报纸为国分忧的落脚点当然也是为人民造福祉。 (只要持之有故,言之成理,自圆其说即可。)

Although Henry Ford’s name is closely associated with the concept of mass production,he should receive equal credit for introducing labor practices as early as 1913 that would be considered advanced even by today’s standards. Safety measures were improved, and the workday was reduced to eight hours, compared with the ten-or-twelve-hour day common at the time. In order to accommodate the shorter work day, the entire factory was converted from two to three shifts.
In addition, sick leaves as well as improved medical care for those injured on the job were instituted. (47)The Ford Motor Company was one of the first factories to develop a technical school to train specialized skilled laborers and an English language school for immigrants. Some efforts were even made to hire the handicapped and provide jobs for former convicts.
(48)The most widely acclaimed innovation was the five-dollar-a-day minimum wage that was offered in order to recruit and retain the best mechanics and to discourage the growth of labor unions. Ford explained the new wage policy in terms of efficiency and profit sharing. He also mentioned the fact that his employees would be able to purchase the automobiles that they produced—in effect creating a market for the product. (49)In order to qualify for the minimum wage, an employee had to establish a decent home and demonstrate good personal habits,including sobriety,thriftiness,industriousness,and dependability. (50)Although some criticism was directed at Ford for involving himself too much in the personal lives of his employees,there can be no doubt that,at a time when immigrants were being taken advantage of in frightful ways,henry Ford was helping many people to establish themselves in America.
