前言

　　当您开始阅读本书时，人类已经迈入了2l世纪。　　这是一个变幻难测的世纪，这是一个催人奋进的时代，科学技术飞速发展，知识更替日新月异。希望、困惑、机遇、挑战，随时随地都有可能出现在每一个社会成员的生活之中。抓住机遇，寻求发展，迎接挑战，适应变化的制胜法宝就是学习——依靠自己学习，终生学习。　　作为我国高等教育组成部分的自学考试，其职责就是在高等教育这个水平上倡导自学、鼓励自学、帮助自学、推动自学，为每一个自学者铺就成才之路。组织编写供读者学习的教材就是履行这个职责的重要环节。毫无疑问，这种教材应当适合自学，应当有利于学习者掌握、了解新知识、新信息，有利于学习者增强创新意识，培养实践能力，形成自学能力，也有利于学习者学以致用，解决实际工作中所遇到的问题。具有如此特点的书，我们虽然沿用了“教材”这个概念，但它与那种仅供教师讲、学生听，教师不讲、学生不懂，以“教”为中心的教科书相比，已经在内容安排、编写体例、行文风格等方面都大不相同了。希望读者对此有所了解，以便从一开始就树立起依靠自己学习的坚定信念，不断探索适合自己的学习方法，充分利用已有的知识基础和实际工作经验，最大限度地发挥自己的潜能，以达到学习的目标。　　欢迎读者提出意见和建议。

章节摘录

　　Henchards life experience was complicated and full of unexpected events. His tragedy can be said to have been brought about by his own character. His impulsiveness and jealousy caused his estrangement from his wife, daughter and his friends.　He was isolated and doomed to suffer the consequences incurred by himself. From his point of view, we can conclude the Henchard was a typical representative of the old type peasant of the 19 century England.　He embodied the degenerating rural society and economy. He was honest and upright,　but conservative and narrow- minded. He was experienced in his hay trussing, but lacked the modem scientific knowledge and administrative ability: All these were the distinct characteristics of the peasants of his generation.　　Farfrae, the former .partner and later competitor of Henchard, on the other hand, represented the emerging new force of the countryside. He was intelligent, knowledgeable and open to new ideas. The competition between Henchard and Farfrae reflected the competition between the traditional and the modem ways of production. The conflict between them reflected that of the two generations. The failure and death of Henchard signaled an endto the traditional rural life and the backward mode of production.
