The world is undergoing a great transition marked by uncertainty and complexity which we do not yet understand.
This poses (提出) a challenge to young people all over the world, for in about 15 years’ time youth will play a fundamental role as never before in the history of the world. Young people will make up over half the population in developing countries—the so-called countries of the South. In the North they will have the heavy responsibility of providing for societies in which elderly people will generally be in the majority. It is probably not by chance that young people in different parts of the world today represent a movement of challenge and pressure which is shaking government and attempting to impose new values in a universe which they perceive as inhospitable (冷淡的) or even hostile.
We have come a long way from the early 20th century concept of perpetual 3% annual growth, which fitted so well with the Newtonian vision of the world—a vision resting on the idea of a perfect giant clockwork mechanism. The dramatic nature of today’s crisis is based on our difficulty in understanding—on a lack of intelligibility (可理解性的). For in evolution’s constant march towards complexity we have just crossed a threshold (门槛). Beyond this threshold, everything is different; everything invites us to look anew (重新). But we are prisoners of images which still inhabit our minds because they brought us so much intellectual comfort in understanding our world as it used to be. Prigonine takes us over the threshold and forces us to enter into the new dialogue which is necessary. It is useful to try to transfer this new vision into the spheres of management, business, national sovereignty (主权) , and international organization. In this way we may perhaps make progress in governing that which, on first analysis we may judge to be ungovernable.
The characteristic of the present age of the world is （ ）
A:transition B:challenge C:uncertaint D:uncertainty and complexity

Passage 3
The U. S. Army Infantry (步兵), which
calls Fort Benning home, has fought in every major conflict involving the
nation’s military. Yet developing a program for effective infantry training came
neither quickly nor easily. The first movement to shape the country’s foot
soldiers into a superior force came more than 200 years ago at the request of
the general who became the first president of the United States.
Revolutionary forces commanded by General George Washington were barely
surviving as they camped at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, during the winter of
1777. Washington realized that his soldiers, shivering in rags. Needed better
training if there were to be any hope of winning against the well-schooled
British army. He sought advice from the respected Prussian (普鲁士) general,
Baron Fredreich von Steuben.
Von Steuben agreed to help, but
recognized the huge challenge he faced to change the loose band of rebels into a
disciplined, well-organized force. As one observer at the time noted, the
colonial army "was the finest body of troops he had ever seen out of step ’. Von
8teuben’s own assessment was that the Continental Army was a shame. "There was
no uniformity of drill, no similarity of organization , and no teamwork of any
kind ", wrote Leroy Yarborough, first lieutenant (中尉) of infantry , in an
unpublished 1931 history of Fort Benning. No two companies drilled alike. And
they all drilled poorly.
But Von Steuben was resourceful and
energetic and known for his persuasiveness. He established standard drill
exercises and taught them patiently, but persistently to the troops. Once he saw
progress, he chose those most skilled in military formations to demonstrate for
the rest to imitate. This practice of using the best troops to model techniques
and tactics become fundamental in military training, continuing long after the
Revolutionary War. For his efforts, Von Steuben is known as the "Father of the
U. S. Infantry." |
The main problems with the American revolutionary forces seemed to be lack of the following except ______.
A:standardization in training and organization B:coordination between various units C:strict discipline and unity D:shame and challenge
