大學(xué)已經(jīng)不再特別了有這么一種說法:“要是你能記得20世紀(jì)60年代的任何事情,你就沒有真正經(jīng)歷過那段歲月。”對于在大麻煙霧中度過大學(xué)時光的那些人,這話可能是真的。但是,20世紀(jì)60年代有一件事人人都記得,那就是:上大學(xué)是你一生中最激動人心、最刺激的經(jīng)歷。20世紀(jì)60年代,加州的高校把本州變成了世界第七大經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)體。然而,加州大學(xué)的主校園伯克利分校也以學(xué)生示威、罷課以及激進(jìn)的政治氛圍而著名。1966年,羅納德·里根競選加州州長,他問加州是否允許“一所偉大的大學(xué)被喧鬧的、唱反調(diào)的少數(shù)人征服。”自由派人士回答說,大學(xué)之所以偉大正是因?yàn)樗鼈冇心芰θ萑绦[的、唱反調(diào)的少數(shù)人。在歐洲的大學(xué)校園里,大學(xué)生以新的姿態(tài)和激情投人到爭取自由和正義的事業(yè)中去,大規(guī)模的社會主義或共產(chǎn)主義運(yùn)動引發(fā)了他們與當(dāng)權(quán)者之間日益升級的暴力沖突。許多抗議是針對越南戰(zhàn)爭的??墒窃诜▏?,巴黎大學(xué)的學(xué)生與工會聯(lián)盟,發(fā)動了一場大罷工,最終導(dǎo)致戴高樂總統(tǒng)辭職。20世紀(jì)60年代大學(xué)生活的特點(diǎn)并不僅僅是激進(jìn)的行動。不論在什么地方,上大學(xué)都意味著你初次品嘗真正自由的滋味,初次品嘗深更半夜在宿舍或?qū)W生活動室里討論人生意義的滋味。你往往得上了大學(xué)才能閱讀你的第一本禁書,看你的第一部獨(dú)立影人電影,或者找到和你一樣癡迷吉米·亨德里克斯或蘭尼·布魯斯的志同道合者。那是一段難以想象的自由時光,你一生中最無拘無束的時光??扇缃衲欠菁で槟膬喝チ舜髮W(xué)怎么了現(xiàn)在,政治、社會和創(chuàng)造意識的覺醒似乎不是憑借大學(xué)的助力,而是沖破其阻力才發(fā)生的。當(dāng)然,一點(diǎn)不假,高等教育仍然重要。例如,在英國,布萊爾首相幾乎實(shí)現(xiàn)了到2010年讓50%的30歲以下的人上大學(xué)的目標(biāo)(即使憤世嫉俗的人會說,這是要把他們排除在失業(yè)統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)之外)。不過,大學(xué)教育已不再是全民重視的話題了。如今,大學(xué)被視為人們急于逃離的一種小城鎮(zhèn)。有些人輟學(xué),但大多數(shù)已經(jīng)有些麻木,還是堅持混到畢業(yè),因?yàn)殡x開學(xué)校實(shí)在是太費(fèi)事了。沒有了20世紀(jì)60年代大學(xué)生所發(fā)現(xiàn)的令人頭腦發(fā)熱的自由氣氛,如今的大學(xué)生要嚴(yán)肅得多。英國文化協(xié)會最近做了一項調(diào)查,研究外國留學(xué)生在決定上哪所大學(xué)時所考慮的因素。這些因素從高到低依次是:課程質(zhì)量、就業(yè)前景、學(xué)費(fèi)負(fù)擔(dān)、人身安全問題、生活方式,以及各種便利。大學(xué)已變成實(shí)現(xiàn)目的的手段,是在就業(yè)市場上增加就業(yè)幾率的一個機(jī)會,上大學(xué)本身不再是目的,不再是給你提供一個機(jī)會,讓你暫時想象一下:你能夠改變世界。童年與大學(xué)之間的距離已縮小了,大學(xué)與現(xiàn)實(shí)世界之間的距離也縮小了。其中的一個原因可能和經(jīng)濟(jì)有關(guān)。在一個沒有保障的世界里,現(xiàn)在的許多孩子依賴父母資助的時間比以前的孩子更長。21世紀(jì)的學(xué)生大學(xué)畢業(yè)后根本無法自立門戶,因?yàn)槟翘嘿F了。另一個可能的原因是通訊革命。兒子或女兒每學(xué)期往家里打一兩回電話的日子一去不復(fù)返了。如今,大學(xué)生通過手機(jī)與父母保持著臍帶式聯(lián)系。至于尋找癡迷無名文學(xué)或音樂的同道好友,沒問題,我們有互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和聊天室來幫助我們做到這一點(diǎn)。“幸福啊,活在那個黎明之中,.年輕更是如進(jìn)天堂!華茲華斯的詩句說的可能是法國大革命,但是對于20世紀(jì)60年代的大學(xué)生而言,這樣的詩句同樣真實(shí)生動。可是為什么對于如今的大學(xué)生來說,它們就不真實(shí)了呢?

采取一些預(yù)防措施。不要把你的郵件留在郵箱里過夜或過周末。小偷就等著看你家信箱的小紅旗(注:在美國,信箱上插上小紅旗表示有郵件需要投遞),以便通過你要投遞的郵件找尋有用的個人信息或支票。要用簽字筆填寫支票和重要表格,(因?yàn)椋┖炞止P的墨水會滲進(jìn)紙張的纖維中,無法用化學(xué)藥品除去。還有,切碎或撕碎含有個人信息的所有文件,然后再把它們丟進(jìn)垃圾桶。記住,網(wǎng)上有大量機(jī)會可以被小偷利用。他們根據(jù)你的身份偽造假身份。我們都知道黑客行為和木馬軟件對電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫中個人信息的威脅。但是在谷歌上搜索某人也會透露大量個人信息,在線社交網(wǎng)站(如“我的空間”、“相冊”和“畢波”)也一樣。正如我們離開辦公室去廁所時要隨身帶上錢包一樣,離開電腦時也應(yīng)該注銷你的電腦以防臨時起意的盜竊。最后一點(diǎn),假如你遭遇較傳統(tǒng)方式的搶劫一比如在大街上一掛失你的信用卡顯然是要做的第一件事。但是別忘了,即使掛了失,信用卡也可以用作身份證件來獲得購物卡……那你就有了犯罪記錄。身份偽造可以肆行多年而不為受害者所知。一個無法回避的事實(shí)是:現(xiàn)在的詐騙者覺得身份犯罪簡直是太容易了。如果你的身份尚未失竊,那只是因?yàn)樗麄冞€沒有對你動手。就會輪到你的。Unit4ThedeathofNewspaperForyearsitstartedthedayformillionsofpeople:thesoundofthenewspaperhittingthefrontdoor,thewindowortheneighbor'sdog.Withacupofcoffee,maybesomebreakfast,theritualofreadingthenewspaperwasthequietbeforethestorm,amomentofpleasureandpeacebeforetheworkingdaybegan.ButallovertheEnglish-speakingworld,newspapereditorsarefacingthesameproblem:Circulationhasdeclined,asmoreandmorereadersturntotheInternetfortheirnews.Thismeansthattherevenuefromadvertisingisalsodeclining,andthecoverpriceofthenewspaperisrising,sotheycanmakethesameamountofmoney.Andofcourse,aprice-sensitiveproductlikeanewspapercouldlosereaders,andtheviciouscirclecontinues.Sowhatdoesthefuturehold

報紙的末日?多年來,數(shù)以百萬計的人在報紙擊中前門、窗戶或鄰居的狗的叫聲中開始了一天的生活。對著一杯咖啡,也許還有早餐,看報的儀式是風(fēng)暴之前的平靜,是工作日開始之前的愉快安寧。可是,在所有講英語的國家,報紙編輯們正面臨著同一個問題:發(fā)行量下滑了,因?yàn)樵絹碓蕉嗟淖x者轉(zhuǎn)向互聯(lián)網(wǎng)閱讀新聞。這意味著同時下滑的廣告收入,以及隨之上漲的報紙定價,因?yàn)橹挥羞@樣他們才能掙到一樣多的錢。當(dāng)然,像報紙這樣價格敏感的產(chǎn)品可能會失去讀者,惡性循環(huán)會不斷加劇。那么將來會怎樣報紙是否走上了末路
這種下滑是20多年來的長期趨勢,在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)問世之前就已出現(xiàn)。從前,五分之四的美國人看報,而如今似乎只有不到一半。1990至2000年間,成年人每天看報的人數(shù)從52.6%下降到37.5%。年輕人中情況更槽:18至34歲的年輕人只有19%自稱每天看報。而僅有9%的人相信報紙上的信息。互聯(lián)網(wǎng)廣告的運(yùn)作方式與報紙廣告不同。廣告商可以逐分逐秒地監(jiān)視廣告是否在起作用,而不再需要依賴報紙的發(fā)行量?;ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)可提供的更多的窗口使廣告收入之戰(zhàn)更加激烈,印刷和生產(chǎn)成本卻不可遏制地上漲。結(jié)果,《紐約時報》公司旗下各種報紙已裁減了700份工作?!栋蜖柕哪μ枅蟆芳磳㈥P(guān)閉其駐外新聞機(jī)構(gòu)。在英國,多數(shù)報紙都縮版成為小報開本,意在吸引年輕讀者,但是因?yàn)椤靶蟆庇小暗蜋n廉價”之嫌,有些報紙就稱新開本為“縮編版”。所有發(fā)行量大的報紙都建立了強(qiáng)大的網(wǎng)站?;ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)為任何有意見的人提供了一個便利的窗口;報紙編輯最喜歡的莫過于給他們提供各種不同的反饋和意見,他們能從中得到安慰。如今十幾歲的少年已不記得曾經(jīng)沒有互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的日子了;只有在寫關(guān)于印刷新聞這一特定媒體的作業(yè)時他們才去看報紙。不可否認(rèn)報紙對環(huán)境的影響。世界上每年有近40億裸樹木被砍伐用來造紙,約占全部木材砍伐量的35%。但必須承認(rèn),許多用來造紙的樹木是在特別的種植園出產(chǎn)的,它們是定期砍伐和栽種的。而且,舊報紙常被回收利用,變成新的報紙。盡管如此,在美國,造紙廠是對空氣、水體和土地污染最嚴(yán)重的行業(yè)之一。但是,對于許多人來說,日報或周報依然是個偉大的傳統(tǒng)?!皼]有周日版報紙的周日就不是周日,”這樣的評語常見于在英國所做的調(diào)查。其他評語則提到報紙比筆記本電腦更方便之處:“我的報紙永遠(yuǎn)不會沒電,”“假如我的報紙掉到地上,它不會摔破,”“空姐從來不會叫我把報紙收起來,”此外,還有評語讓我們想到英國全國的外賣食品的傳統(tǒng)包裝方式,“你可以用它們來打蒼蠅,還可以用來包魚?!比绱丝磥?,報紙是不會輕易消失的。未來報紙發(fā)展的趨勢包括對本地新聞需求的日益增長,而始于20世紀(jì)80年代后期的對生活方式新聞的持續(xù)開發(fā)利用—尤其在個人理財和旅游方面—將會創(chuàng)造新的收入來源。有些評論者建議,報紙不應(yīng)粗制濫造(盡管這是增加市場份額的通常做法),而應(yīng)該精工細(xì)作。也就是說,尊崇以正直、誠實(shí)和不偏不倚的態(tài)度從事新聞報道的原則。具有為讀者所敬重的辦報立場的報紙肯定比互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上零散閱讀的同類報道享有更大的影響力和聲望。此外,小城鎮(zhèn)報紙對于為人父母者總是意味深長,因?yàn)槠渥优恼掌苍S會在上面刊登,幾天都是新聞。人人都放假的時候,坐在扶手椅上看傳統(tǒng)的周日版報紙,這將是難以打破的習(xí)慣。但是這樣是否足夠或者,有朝一日我們一定會看到報紙的消亡
