工业产权主要是发明、商标和工业品外观设计的保护，以及制止不正当竞争。 前三项有一些共同点，因为对发明、商标和工业品外观设计都是用专属实施权的方式保护的（如专利权）。制止不正当竞争同专属权无关，而是反对违反诚实经营工商业的竞争行为。 版权所涉及的对象通常是“文学艺术作品”。作品的表现形式可以是文字、音乐、图画、立体作品或组合物（如歌剧或电影）。几乎所有国家的版权都规定保护以下类型的作品：文学、音乐、艺术、摄影以及电影摄影等作品。 第二单元练习一、落花生许地山我们屋后有半亩隙地。母亲说：“让它荒芜着怪可惜，既然你们那么爱吃花生，就辟来做花生园罢。” 我们几姊弟和几个丫头都很喜欢——买种的买种，动土的动土，灌园的灌园，过不了几个月，居然收获了！妈妈说：“今晚我们可以做一个收获节，也请你们爹爹来尝尝我们底新花生，如何？”我们都答应了。母亲把花生做成好几样的食品，还吩咐这节期要在花园里底茅亭举行。那晚上的天色不太好，可是爹爹也到来，实在很难得！爹爹说：“你们爱吃花生吗？”我们都争着回答：“爱！”“谁能把花生的好处说出来？”姊姊说：“花生的气味很美。”哥哥说：“花生可以制油。”我说：“无论何等人都可以用贱价买它来吃；都喜欢它。这就是它的好处。”二、我们中华民族在人类文明发展史上，曾经有过杰出的贡献。现在在共产党的领导下，我们民族正在经历着一场伟大的复兴。恩格斯在谈到十六世纪欧洲文艺复兴时曾经说过，那是一个需要巨人而且产生了巨人的时代。今天，我们社会主义祖国的伟大革命和建设，更加需要大批社会主义时代的巨人，我们不仅要有政治上、文化上的巨人，我们同样需要有自然科学和其他方面的巨人。我们相信一定会涌现出大批这样的巨人。科学是讲求实际的。科学是老老实实的学问，来不得半点虚假，需要付出艰巨的劳动。同时，科学也需要创造，需要幻想，有幻想才能打破传统的束缚，才能发展科学。科学工作者不应当把幻想让诗人独占了。嫦娥奔月，龙宫探宝，《封神演义》上的许多幻想，由于科学发展，今天大都变成了现实。伟大的天文学家哥白尼说：人类的天职在勇于探索真理。我国人民历来是勇于探索，勇于创造，勇于革命的。我们一定要打破阵规，披荆斩棘，开拓我国科学发展的道路。既异想天开，又实事求是，这是科学工作者特有的风格，让我们在无穷的宇宙长河中去探索无穷的真理吧！摘自郭沫若《科学的春天》注：复兴

第三单元练习一、福建省位于中国东南沿海，原是一个人口较少、资源贫乏、经济比较落后的小省。七十年代末以来，充分利用中央赋予的特殊政策，在突破旧体制方面先行一步，以市场为取向的改革取得实质进展，有力地推进了福建省国民经济和社会事业的迅速发展，不论是经济增长速度还是国内生产总值都跃居全国前矛。这对于福州大学这样一所全省唯一的以工为主、理工结合的新型地方大学来说，既是一种机遇，更是一种挑战。为了适应福建省改革开放和经济飞速发展的需要，福州大学也进入了发展的快车道：经过40年，特别是近20年的改革和发展，在校生规模从1978年不足2000人发展到今天逾万人；学科专业设置已基本涵盖了本省主要经济领域和产业部门，并已形成了包括研究生、本专科、成人、留学生教育在内的多层次、多规格、多形式的办学格局；已被列为全国重点建设的百所大学之一。二、白居易十六岁时，带着自己的诗稿去京城长安，拜访老诗人顾况，希望得到他的指教，顾况看他还是个孩子，就不怎么当回事，又看到诗稿上的名字是“居易”就开玩笑地说：“长安这地方米贵，在这里‘居’可不‘易’呀！”但当他读到“野火烧不尽，春风吹又生”等诗句时，不禁拍案叫绝，马上改变语气，郑重地说：“能写出这样的诗句，‘居’下去是不难的，刚才是玩笑，不要见怪。”这样，白居易的名字便传开了。 第四单元练习一、社会透视：劝君别再凑热闹一个扒手的自白“人堆是我们作案的主要场所，一来人多了我们好下手，二来这些人往往只顾热闹、轧闹猛，对自己所带钱物很少注意，因此我们很容易得手。”“到了街上，你不用愁找不到人堆，猴子耍把戏，卖狗皮膏药的，还有其他各种滩头的前面，都可以找到看热闹的人。即使一时没有地摊，你也不用愁，街上骑车的、走路的这么多，总有相撞一下，或口角一下的，这样又可以有人堆了。实在没有人堆，可以制造。只要两个人以假乱真，打上一架，保证马上有成百人围观。”二、 黎明前的北平 天气一天比一天寒冷。北海公园的湖上已结了厚厚的冰层，马路两旁树木上的叶子已经落尽，只有光秃秃的树枝在寒风中瑟瑟颤抖着。北平已被强大的人民解放军包围，城门紧闭，粮食、蔬菜、鱼肉都运不进来。我们吃着早已准备的酱萝卜，有时也用黄豆泡豆芽。时不时可以听见解放军的炮声。但是北平城内还有着数量庞大的国民党军队，虽然已如瓮中之鳖，但如果负隅顽抗，仍将给人民的生命财产造成巨大的损失。何去何从？急待抉择。当时，统帅这批军队的傅作义将军在无可奈何的情况下，邀请了北平的一些学者名流，征询意见。会场设在中南海内，空气异常严肃紧张。傅作义将军作了简短的致词，表示愿意虚心听取大家的意见。墙上的挂钟“滴答滴答”地响着，很长时间没有人发言。大家只是用疑虑的眼光互相探询着，担心如果发言要求和平解放北平，会带来很大的风险。最后，沉默的空气还是被打破了。许多人纷纷发言，热烈希望傅作义将军以北平人民的安全和保护故都文化胜迹为重，尽量争取早日和平解放北平。傅作义将军一直耐心而认真地听着大家的发言。最后，他站起来，表示感谢大家直言不讳。会后，人们奔走相告，感到北平和平解放的希望越来越大，漫长的黑夜终于即将过去。第五单元练习一、要坚持两手抓，一手抓改革开放，一手抓打击各种犯罪活动。这两只手都要硬。打击各种经济犯罪活动，扫除各种丑恶现象，手软不得。广东二十年赶上亚洲“四小龙”，不仅经济要上去，社会秩序、社会风气也要搞好，两个文明建设都要超过他们，这才是有中国特色的社会主义。新加坡的社会秩序算是好的，他们管得严，我们应当借鉴他们的经验，而且比他们管得更好。二、南京，她有层出不穷的风流人物和彪炳千秋的不朽业绩。大都会特有的凝聚力，吸引了无数风云人物、仁人志士在这里角逐争雄，一呈豪彦。从孙权、谢安到洪秀全、孙中山，从祖冲之、葛洪到李时珍、郑和，从刘勰、萧统到曹雪芹、吴敬梓，从王羲之、顾凯之到徐悲鸿、傅抱石，还有陶行知、杨廷宝等等，中国历史上一批杰出的政治家、军事家、科学家、文学家、艺术家、教育家、建筑家等荟萃于此，在这块钟灵毓秀的土地上一圆他们的辉煌之梦。他们是中华民族的优秀儿女。巍巍中山、滚滚长江养育了他们，为他们提供了施展抱负的舞台，他们也以自己的雄才大略、聪明才智为中华民族的灿烂文明增添了流光溢彩的新篇章。南京，她自新中国建立以来发生的巨大而深刻的变化更加令人欢欣鼓舞。“虎踞龙蟠今胜昔，天翻地覆慨而慷”。从1949年4月23 日始，人民真正成为这座古老城市的主人。金陵回春，古城新生，昔日饱尝的屈辱和灾难，至此如同梦魇终被摆脱。人民在自己的土地上辛勤劳作，把古城南京装扮得面貌一新。特别是近十几年来，改革开放又给这座美丽的名城注入了新的活力，崭新的工业、通达的运输、如画的城市建设、兴盛的第三产业、多彩的文化生活，都使这个具有古都特色的现代都市焕发出勃勃英姿。孙中山先生所预言的：“南京将来发达未可限量也！”正在逐步成为现实。南京，这座古老而又年轻的历史文化名城，是多么的可爱！ 第六单元练习一、立论我梦见自己在小学校的课堂上准备作文，向老师请教立论的方法。“难！”老师从眼镜框外斜射出眼光来，对着我，说。“我告诉你一件事——一家人家生了一个男孩，合家高兴透顶了。满月的时候，抱出来给客人看，——大概是想得一点好兆头。“一个说：‘这孩子将来要发财的。’他于是得到一番感谢。“一个说：‘这孩子将来要做官的。’他于是收回几句恭维。“一个说：‘这孩子将来是要死的。’他于是得到一顿大家合力的痛打。“说要死的必然，说富贵的许谎。但说谎的得好报，说必然的遭打。你……““我愿意既不谎人，也不遭打。那么老师，我得怎么说呢？”“那么，你得说：”啊呀，这孩子呵！您瞧！多么………。啊唷！哈哈！’”二、深圳毗邻香港，珠海靠近澳门，汕头是因为东南亚国家潮州人多，厦门是因为闽南人在外国经商的很多，但是没有考虑上海在人才方面的优势。上海人聪明，素质好，如果当时就确定在上海也设立经济特区，现在就不是这个样子。十四个沿海开放城市有上海，但那是一般化的。浦东如果像深圳经济特区那样，早几年就开发好了。开发浦东，这个影响就大了，不只是浦东的问题，是关系上海发展的问题。抓紧浦东开发，不要动摇，一直到建成。只要守信用，按照国际惯例办事，人家首先会把资金投到上海，竞争就要靠这个竞争。 第七单元练习 寓言两则(1)狐假虎威 老虎捉到了一只狐狸。狐狸说：“你怎么敢吃我！我是天帝派来的百兽之王。今天你要是吃了我，就是违抗天帝的命令呀！你要是不信，我在前面走，你在后面跟，看看百兽见了我，有敢不逃走的吗？”老虎同意了，就跟着狐狸走去。果然，百兽见了他们，都争相逃命。老虎惊讶不已，认为狐狸是百兽之王，就走开了。 (2)守株待兔一天，宋国有个农夫在耕地。忽然，他看见一只兔子飞也似地跑过来，一头碰在树干上，折断了脖子，当场咽了气。农夫没费力气白捡了一只兔子，心里非常高兴。从此，他不再种地了，整天守着这棵大树，眼巴巴地盼着再捡一只这样的兔子。整整一年过去了，农夫什么也没等着。回头看看地里，却长满了杂草，一片荒芜。他成了宋国的笑柄。 第八单元练习一、 卢沟桥的狮子 卢沟桥是一座石桥，长二百六十六点五米，在北京郊区，已有八百多年的历史，是该城著名的古迹之一。 卢沟桥最引人注意的，是桥栏杆石柱上雕刻的那些狮子。每个石柱上有一个大狮子，大狮子的上下左右有好多小狮子。最小的只有几厘米。它们有的在大狮子的头上、背上；有的在大狮子的脚下或怀里。有的只露出半个头；有的只露出一张嘴。生动活泼，坐卧起伏，姿态各不相同。 北京民间流传着一句话：“卢沟桥的石狮子——数不清。”特别有趣的是关于石狮子的传说。有的说，石狮子中有一个总是在晃动，看不清，没法数。有的说，有几个石狮子是藏起来的，看不清，数不着。如果真的数清了狮子的数目，全桥的狮子都跑光了。 当然，这些都是传说。但是，桥上的石狮子也真多，过去确实没有人数清过。直到1961年，文化部门才把它数清了，一共是四百八十五个。二、 一件小事（节选）鲁迅这是民国六年的冬天，大北风刮得正猛，我因为生计关系，不得不一早在路上走。一路上几乎遇不见人，好容易才雇定一辆人力车，教他拉到S门去。不一会，北风小了，路上浮尘早已刮净，剩下一条洁白的大道来，车夫也跑得更快。刚近S门，忽而车把上带着一个人，慢慢地倒了。跌倒的是一个女人，花白头发，衣服都很破烂。伊从马路边上突然向车前横截过来；车夫已经让开道，但伊的破棉背心没有上扣，微风吹着，向外展开，所以终于兜着车把。幸而车夫早有点停步，否则伊定要栽一个大筋斗，跌到头破血出了。伊伏在地上；车夫便也立住脚。我料定这老女人并没有伤，又没有别人看见，便怪他多事，要自己惹出是非，也误了我的路。我便对他说，“没有什么的。走你的罢！”车夫毫不理会——或者并没有听到——却放下车子，扶那老女人慢慢起来，搀着胳膊立定，问伊说：“你怎么啦？”“我摔坏了。”我想，我眼见你慢慢倒地，怎么会摔坏呢，装腔作势罢了，这真是可恶。车夫多事，也是自讨苦吃，现在你自己想法去。车夫听了这老女人的话，却毫不踌躇，仍然搀着伊的胳膊，便一步一步的向前走。我有些诧异，忙看前面，是一所巡警分驻所，大风之后，外面也不见人。这车夫扶着那老女人，便正是向那大门走去。我这时突然感到一种异样的感觉，觉得他满身灰尘的后影，刹时高大了，而且愈走愈大，须仰视才见，而且他对于我，渐渐的又几乎变成一种威压，甚而至于要榨出皮袍下面藏着的“小”来。三、戈壁滩上的春天四月底了，要在北京，这时候正是百花盛开的好季节。但在戈壁滩上，春天还早着呢。一出嘉裕关，你望吧，满眼是无边的砂石，遍地只有一丛一丛的骆驼草，略略透出点春意。四处有的是旋风，一股一股的，把黄沙卷起多高，象是平地冒起的大烟，打着转在沙漠上飞跑。说声变天，一起风，半空就飘起雪花来，紧靠戈壁滩的西南边是起伏不断的祁连山，三伏天，山头也披着白雪。可是不管你走的多远，走到多么荒凉的地方，你也会看见我们人民为祖国所创造的奇迹。就在这戈壁滩上，就在这祁连山下，我们来自祖国各地的人民从地下钻出石油，在沙漠上建设起一座“石油城”。这就是玉门没矿。不信，你黑夜站在高岗上，张眼一望，戈壁滩上远远近近全是电灯，比天上的星星都密。北面天边亮起一片红光，忽闪忽闪的。你心里定会赞叹说：“多好的地方啊！哪旬在沙漠上呢？” 但我们究竟还是在沙漠上。这里的每块砖，每块石头，每滴石油，都沾着我们人民的血汗，都藏着我们人民的生命。我们不能不感谢那些地质勘探队。他们为了继续替祖国寻找石油，骑着骆驼，带着蒙古包和干粮，远远地深入到荒凉的大沙漠里去，多少天见不到个人。只有沙漠上的黄羊，山里的野马，有时惊惊惶惶跟他们打个照面。摘自《杨朔散文选》 注：戈壁滩 theGobidesert 嘉峪关 JiayuPass
