On Friendship
Friendship means being friendly to each other or making friends with one another. Human beings are social animals. They do not live in isolation.They need each other both physically and emotionally.
However, some people distort friendship by forming small groups that are harmful to others, or even to the whole community. In university some students from the same city or province form an association to help each other. But such associations often exclude students from other parts of the country, and thus do not promote friendship in a broad sense.
True and lasting friendship is based on a more solid foundarien. Real friends share the same ideals. While marching toward their common objective, they help each other. If one makes a mistake, his friend will not hesitate to point it out for him, because he knows the frank criticism will help him. What we need is this type of genuine friendship.
论友谊
友谊意味着彼此友好相处或与他人交朋友。

人类是一种社会动物，他们不能孤立存在，他们在生理上和情感上都彼此需要。

然而，有人却把组建对付他人、甚至于危害整个社会的小团体曲解为友谊。

大学里，来自同一城市或同一省份的一些学生组成一个社团，彼此互相帮助。

但这样的社团往往排斥了来自其他地区的学生，因此从广义上讲，这并不能促进友谊。

真正而持久的友谊是以更为牢固的根基为基础的。

真正的朋友拥有共同的理想。

当他们向共同的目标迈进时，彼此相互帮助。

若一个人犯了错，他的朋友会毫不犹豫地为他指出来，因为他知道真诚的批评会对他有益。

我们需要的就是这种真正的友谊。

Language Pollution
Dear Editor,
You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper, turn on your TV set,or listen to a radio. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and usually can be seen in the following places:
1. Chinese characters are written in the complex form. Although simplified Chinese characters were accepted for use years ago, it seems that more and more peopie like Chinese characters written in the complex form.
2. Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning at all.
3. Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning. “Ba”, which means bully in Chinese, is one example.Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants even factories or films, with “Ba” in their names.
4. There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some TV play series have strange names and incorrect grammatical structures. “Ai ni mei shang liang”, which means “1 love you without consulting”, is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expressi on is now becoming popular.
Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with, which is an
idea shared by myself and many others.

语言污染
亲爱的编辑：，
每当你打开报纸、看电视、或听收音机，你就会发现语言污染。

语言污染几乎无处不在，通常可以在以下地方看到：
1．繁体汉字的使用。

虽然很多年前简体字已被接受使用，但似乎越开越多的人对繁体汉字青睐有加。

2．中国产品起洋名。

这些名字听来怪异且毫无意义。

3．贬义词汇、表达的使用。

例如“霸”，在汉语里表示恃强凌弱的人，而现在，

How to Select a Home Computer
Computers are very versatile,but choosing a computer is not an easy, simple job. However, if you
follow these steps, you will find it easier.
First, decide on the main reasons why you want a computer. Is the most important reason to play games or to help with your business?
Second, look carefully at the programs the computer can use. If you want to write your own, it is important to look at the computer language. Is it easy to learn?
Third, decide the smallest, or the least needs you have for your computer. What are the characteristics you would like to have? Your use of a computer will help you decide which characteristics are necessary, which are nice, and which are unnecessary.
Fourth, when you have limited your choices to a few computers, look at the secondary uses and programs. If your main reason for buying a home computer is to play games, you may take computer A instead of computer B because computer A can also be used as word processor.
Fifth, think of the two prices. The first is the price you must pay to take the computer home. The second is the price of additional programs and possible additions that you might want to buy at a later date.
Be sure to try out the computer before you buy it. Sales people at computer shops are happy to help you choose the computer that will best fit your needs and cost you least.

Traffic and population
1. 交通问题已经成为大城市的主要问题之一。

2. 快速增长的人，是造成交通问题的原因。

3. 应采取措施解决这个问题。

Traffic problems have become one of the major problems in cities. Streets are always crowed with vehicles and pedestrains, especially in rush hours. What is more, traffic accidents have made streets become one of the most dangerous places. But why is this problem becoming more and more serious in spite of the continuous improvement of traffic facilities?
The rapid increasing population is a goot explanation of the answer. More people means heavier traffic. Moreover, because more space has to be used to meet the needs of the housing problem, it is almost impossible to widen the streets, which makes the situ ation even worse. Then, how can we solve this problem?
More measures should be taken to deal with this problem. For example, rigid rules and regulations of rewards and penalties should be established to make people more careful on the streets, in addition, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice.
交通和人口
交通问题已经成为城市里的主要问题之一。

街道上总是车辆拥挤，行人如潮，特别是在交通高峰时更是如此。

而且，交通事故使街道变成了危险的地方。

尽管我们不断改进交通设施，为什么交通问题变得越来越严重呢?
快速增长的人口是造成这个问题的原因。

人口多就意味着交通拥挤。

另外，因为许多地方不得不用来建房以满足住房需要，要扩建街道几乎不可能，这就使情况变得更糟。

那么，我们怎样解决这个问题呢?
应采取更多措施解决交通问题。

譬如，应制订严格的奖惩规章使人们在大街上更小心。

另外，应当更加努力地把计划生育政策付诸实施。
