Writing Practice One1.越来越多的人涌入大城市，有些问题随之产生2.比较明显的大问题有3.我对这种现象的想法。
City ProblemsNowadays, millions of migrant workers flock into cities in search of jobs and better living. However, with the sharp rise in the urban population, many problems arise in the development of cities.Firstly, cities become more and more crowded, putting much pressure upon transportation, housing, sanitation, education, employment and so on. City services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point. Secondly, a growing number of private cars emit huge amount of carbon diox ide, leaving the air mercilessly polluted. What is more, the city is also threatened by rising crime. Not a single day passes without the report of someone being robbed, kidnapped or murdered. Last but not least, city-dwellers are not only separated from the natural world but also isolated from each other, even not knowing the name of their nex t-door neighbor.All these problems have harmed the attractiveness of the city. Unless there is some improvement, more and more people may seek to live in the suburbs.Writing Practice Two1. 在大企业工作的特点2. 在小企业工作的特点3. 我的选择To Be a small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish in a Small Pond?Just as there are distinct differences between being a small fish is a big pond and a big fish in a small pond, so it is with working as a subordinate in a large enterprise and presiding in a small firm.With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization such as General Motors, or the Bell Telephone System. You have the opportunities of learning from ex perienced ex ecutives and knowing about the standard working process. With the latter, you have greater responsibilities and your decision may bring immediate effect. Normally you are ex posed to various experiences and ex pected to do a great many things without much help or guidance.Personally, I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where my prospect of promotion is good as long as I work hard. To tell the truth, I’d rather become a well-known and important figure within my own small pond.Writing Practice Three1. 有些人愿意和父母居住在一起2. 有些人想自己独立居住3. 我的看法Styles of LivingSome people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up.They hold the opinion because, living with parents, they can take better care of their parents and vice versa. Meanwhile, they can turn to their parents for help if they get into trouble or have some difficulties. To them, life in a big family seems to be more enjoyable than that in a small family.Others, however, prefer to live separately. They cherish the idea to be independent of their parents, seek more freedom and wish to have a place of their own, in which they can do what they like. Bedsides, they don’t want to be overprotected by their parents but long for chance to face the society by themselves.As to me, I like an independent life style in spite of the fact I love my parents. Different generations have different life styles and values. What one generation likes may not be another generation’s fondness. Living separately, each generation can enjoy different value. In addition, by leading an independent life, I can train my character and develop my own ability to deal with things encountered in my life.Writing Practice Four1. 移动电话给我们的生活带来了便利2. 移动电话有时也会影响别人3. 在某些场合请关掉你的手机Turn off Your Mobile PhoneWith the development of information technology and reduced price of communication products, the mobile phone has become a necessity for most people. Obviously, it shortens the distance between people and makes our life more convenient. Thanks to it, it’s easy for us to contact or be contacted by others anytime and anywhere. We will never miss any important meetings，great deals or admirable opportunities。

Passage 1-2 for Recitation, NHCE-2
Passage 1 for Recitation, NHCE-2Soon after he volunteered for military service, he had received a book from this woman.A letter, which wished him courage and safety, came with the book. He discovered that many of his friends, also in the army, had received the identical book from the woman, Hollis Meynell. And while they all got strength from it, and appreciated her support of their cause, John Blandford was the only person to write Ms. Meynell back. On the day of his departure, to a destination overseas where he would fight in the war, he received her reply. Aboard the cargo ship that was taking him into enemy territory, he stood on the deck and read her letter to him again and again.For thirteen months, she had faithfully written to him. When his letters did not arrive, she wrote anyway, without decrease. During the difficult days of war, her letters nourished him and gave him courage. As long as he received letters from her, he felt as though he could survive. After a short time, he believed he loved her, and she loved him. It was as if fate had brought them together.Passage 2 for Recitation, NHCE-2But when he asked her for a photo, she declined his request. She explained her objection: "If your feelings for me have any reality, any honest basis, what I look like won't matter. Suppose I'm beautiful. I'd always be bothered by the feeling that you loved me for my beauty, and that kind of love would disgust me. Suppose I'm plain. Then I'd always fear you were writing to me only because you were lonely and had no one else. Either way, I would forbid myself from loving you. When you come to New York and you see me, then you can make your decision. Remember, both of us are free to stop or to go on after that—if that's what we choose ..."One minute to six ... Blandford's heart leaped.A young woman was coming toward him, and he felt a connection with her right away. Her figure was long and thin, her spectacular golden hair lay back in curls from her small ears. Her eyes were blue flowers; her lips had a gentle firmness. In her fancy green suit she was like springtime come alive.。

Passages for Recitation ContestPassage 1Is Frustration a Bad Thing?Frustration, by definition, means the feeling of being upset or annoyed, especially because of inability to change or achieve something. Since frustration seems to be a negative feeling, some people may be tempted to think that frustration is bad for people. They believe that constant frustration may cause serious mental problems，which poses a big threat to the people around them.However, others hold a different view. They maintain that it is rather beneficial to people. It goes side by side with success. It inspires people to overcome hardships and difficulties and achieve the final success. People with this view even go so far as to say that no frustration, no success.From my perspective, frustration itself can not be regarded as good or bad. It is people's approach to it that matters a lot. Frustration is part of our life experience. If we let it control us, we may fall into the abyss inflicted by serious psychological problems. But if we harness it and take it as our source of inspiration, we may ultimately enjoy the glory of success.Passage 2Will Computers Replace Us?As is the case we can see, the rapid development of computer technology is exerting profound impact on our life, almost in every aspect. In addition to the use in working, computers are finding their way into the home. They are so intelligent that they seem to be able to solve all problems; consequently, some people say that it will sooner or later take the place of human beings.As for me, I firmly hold the view that there is no such possibility on the grounds that computers are but machines, made by humans. They can only do as humans instruct them and our tasks are far too complicated for any machines to undertake.For human, there is one thing that computers can never accomplish, that is, the former can make decision by their own while the latter can do nothing unless they are programmed.In my opinion, computers will remain nothing but an extension of human brains, no matter how clever and sophisticated they will become.Passage 3My View on Fake and Inferior GoodsYou feel angry when you are deceived into buying some fake and inferior goods. For one thing, they are not worth the money. For another, it may result in a life and death problem, if patients take the fake and inferior medicine.So people at all levels should take actions to refuse fake and inferior goods. For customes, when shopping, they should go to the excellent stores, and before buying something, they should look at the name and the address of the manufacturer on the packing of the goods. For the shop owners and managers of large shops, they must get their goods from the factories with good reputation. For the manufacturers, they should provide the society with quality goods. More importantly, the government departments should conduct watchdog survey for fake and inferior goods to find the people who sell or manufacture fake and inferior goods, and punish themseverely according to the law. Only by doing so can fake and inferior goods be driven out of the market and the legal rights of the customers be protected.Passage 4Reading Selectively or Extensively?When it comes to reading, people's opinions differ. Some think that reading selectively is a good way for us to enrich our knowledge, but some others think that reading extensively is better.Those who think that reading selectively is better believe that there are as many good books as bad ones. Good books can give us pleasure and knowledge, while bad ones can only lead us astray. So, they suggest that we choose good books to read only and never touch the bad ones.But those who hold that reading extensively is better think that one kind of books can only give us one field of information or one aspect of knowledge. So, they come to the conclusion that you have to read more if you want to acquire more knowledge. That's why they believe that reading extensively is better.In my opinion, we should choose good books to read and read as many good books as possible. In this way, we can derive the greatest benefit from reading.Passage 5How I Finance My College EducationNowadays, tuition fees for college are much higher than ever before. How to finance one's college education has become a matter of concern for many college students. Of course, you can deal with it in many ways. You can get all the needed money from your parents. You can apply for a loan specially set up for college students. You can also raise the money completely by yourself by doing a full-time job during summer and winter holidays. Or you can ask your parents to provide the greater part and you earn the rest in the spare time by doing a part-time job.In my opinion, the last way may prove to be quite beneficial. Having obtained most of the tuition fees from one’s parents, one needn’t worry too much about the money and can concentrate on his studies. On the other hand, a part-time job in one's spare time will add color to one's campus life. Through the part-time job one can make a lot of friends, improve one’s social skills and learn many practical things. Therefore, I choose this way to solve my tuition fee problem. Passage 6Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test (CET). Is it necessary to go to all the trouble to hold or take such a test? People differ in their opinions.Many people will think it necessary. They know that although they have taken many a written English test or even have got surprisingly high marks, few of them can express themselves freely in English. Furthermore, a spoken English test can be taken as a way to improve one’s English as well as a new challenge to those who "live and learn".However, some people have doubts about its necessity. Besides the pains in preparation for such a new kind of test, there is also the uncertainty about the reliability and objectivity of the marking system, because it is scored by man rather than machine, anyway.At the prospect of this optional test, I feel encouraged and regard it as a welcome challenge and another opportunity to improve my language ability and career potentials. If I am qualified for such a test, I will not hesitate a moment to apply for it.Passage 7How to Succeed in a Job InterviewA job interview is indispensable in the process of job hunting. If a job seeker can make the best use of the interview and leaves a good impression on the interviewer, he may be lucky enough to get the job competed for by many applicants. If, on the other hand, the job hunter gives a poor performance during the interview, he is likely to lose the chance of success.To be successful in a job interview, the job hunter should demonstrate certain personal and professional qualities. First, the applicant ought to pay attention to his appearance and manner of speaking. Second, he is supposed to display his ability, especially his grasp of professional knowledge required by the position for which he is applying. Finally, a really impressive job seeker must convey a sense of self-confidence and a practical attitude toward the job concerned. If the interviewee displays these characters and presents his most attractive qualities during an interview, the interviewer might give him an admission notice on the spot.Passage 8A Letter to Our PresidentMarch 30th, 2006 Dear Mr. President,I'm very lucky to attend this world-famous university, but I'm afraid I'm not content with the canteen service on campus.Firstly, the quality of the dishes should be improved. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of delicious dishes, but all the year, they are the same. More and more students are complaining about eating the same food every day. So I think the most urgent problem is variety.Secondly, the price is a bit too high. Many of us hope that the canteen can provide us with not only delicious but also cheaper dishes.Finally, the environment is so noisy that we can't enjoy our meals in good mood. I suggest that there be some soft music to help us relax.Those presented suggestions are not just of my own, but also of many other students. We hope our respectable president will pay attention to our suggestions.Best wishes.Yours sincerely,Li Ming Passage 9It Pays to Be HonestAs is known to all, "It pays to be honest", it is usually better to be honest than dishonest. Sometimes honesty may get you in trouble or hurt someone, but on the whole telling the truth is better than lying. However, there are many dishonest instances in our society. In the first place, many merchants cheat the customers. Take my neighbor as an example. He bought a computer with 6,000 Yuan a week ago, but now it doesn't work. In the second place, some students cheat on exams to pass the exams or get high marks. Last but not the least important, many rich professionals cheat the government by evading taxes.On the contrary, honesty brings us honor and friendship. To begin with, if we are honest, we will be trusted by others. Others' trust will give us self-respect as well as social companionship. In addition, other people’s trust will also bring us mental support, financial aid, material resources and needed services. So to sum up, it does pay to be honest.Passage 10Changes of Ownership of Houses in ChinaBy now, great changes have taken place in the ownership of houses in China. In the past few years, the private ownership of houses has been overwhelming the public ownership of houses. What are the causes for the changes? In my opinion, there are two main causes for the changes. First, in the past ten years, China has been experiencing a great change or reform both economically and politically. P eople’s living standards have been improved a lot. Most of them do not have to wait for their turn to live in houses of public ownership as before. Second, most people have begun to change their way of living and thinking. They no longer want to save a lot of money in the bank for their children as their parents did in those days. Instead, they begin to enjoy life. Then, what is the possible influence of this change? So far as the individual is concerned, he can devote himself to his career without worrying about whether he will have a house of his own in the future. On the other hand, this change will certainly have a profound effect on society by pushing forward the steps of social development. .Passage 11Are Part-time Jobs Beneficial to College Students?Some students say that part-time jobs severely affect their studies. They are short of time. On weekdays, they have so many subjects to study and so much homework to do. When they are free on weekend, they need to have a bath, write letters, wash clothes and relax themselves. So can they afford to take up part-time jobs?Others think differently. They believe that knowledge is acquired not only from books but also from practical experiences. Part-time jobs can offer them the chance of this kind. For example, a part-time salesman's job can give them the knowledge of goods for sale as well as the business ethics, which are very important for their future work.As to me, the latter opinion is more reasonable. Part-time jobs, such as sales, typing, tutelage or translation, can help to develop our skills or capabilities. Of course, I do not mean that it should be overdone. On the whole, part time jobs are helpful to students not only financially but also in social practice.Passage 12On DietingNowadays, going on a diet is becoming increasingly popular among people, especially among females. Some people go on a diet to lose weight. Others, especially those young women who pay too much attention to their outward appearance, want to stay slim.Needless to say, dieting is of great benefit to the overweighed people, as being overweighed brings about so much inconvenience to their life. It often leads to heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. Hence, many people are on a diet in order to better enjoy their life.As a coin has two sides, dieting also has some disadvantages. For the majority, going on a diet is not a good thing. For one thing, many people go on a diet not because they are really overweighed, but because they are vain. Thus, they usually suffer from malnutrition. For another, dieters lead a miserable life because they are always hungry and they have to go through the misery of watching others enjoy their three meals a day. So, my attitude is that we should not follow others blindly.Passage 13Looking Back and Looking ForwardLooking back and looking forward are two kinds of attitudes toward life. Generally, young people tend to look forward and think of their future while old people are likely to look back and draw lessons from their past experiences. Perhaps this is one reason why there exists the so-called generation gap.As a matter of fact, both looking back and looking forward have their respective advantages. On the one hand, looking back can make us study the history and benefit from it, so that we won't make the same mistakes and achieve success more easily. On the other hand, looking forward tend to make us forget temporary setbacks and think more often of the bright future. By looking forward, we will have more confidence, become more enthusiastic and take quicker action to accomplish our aims.All in all, both looking forward and looking back are of great benefit to our cause. Hence, we should make full use of them. If we only look back, we may hesitate and lose the opportunity; if we only look forward, we will inevitably make some mistakes, which will hinder our cause. So whatever we do, we should look both back and forward. Only in this way can we achieve greater success.Passage 14The Reform of the College CurriculaNowadays, many college graduates complain that what they learned at college is not much helpful to them in their work. When they go to work, they usually find most of the knowledge they acquired from classroom teaching is outdated, impractical and even inapplicable to their work.It is high time for colleges to update their teaching program and adapt their curricula to the new economic system. Now that a market-oriented economy has been adopted, one can hardly imagine that a student of arts focusing on pure theory will be good enough for any career in the future. Meanwhile, students of science and engineering should also be encouraged to learn courses about literature to develop their thinking and appreciating abilities.In a word, the shift of the economic system requires a corresponding change in our college curricula. It is essential to make proper adjustment and catch up with new developments. Our limited time of college studies should not be wasted merely on certificates and degrees. Passage 15Positive and Negative Aspects of SportsSports benefit us in many respects. When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our bodies. There is no doubt that proper sports activities keep us physically fit. What's more, sports can also enrich our life and maintain our mental health. Through participation in sports activities, we learn that on the playground we compete not only for ourselves but also for our team or for our class or for our school. Sports teach us about consideration, cooperation and optimism toward failure.However, sports can do some harm to us if we can not plan our activities properly. Too hard training may hurt our bodies, exhaust our energy, and make us sick. It also affects our studies and work.Generally speaking, I enjoy sports. Through going in for sports, I can not only live a well-balanced life, but also get more chances to communicate with others and stay closer to nature. Sports add happiness to our everyday life so long as we have sports in a proper way.。
2011级大学英语口试备考资料
Part I Passages for Reading Aloud or /RecitationSmokingIt is almost known to all that smoking is bad for people's health. Scientific research show that smoking can lead to heart disease, cancer and other problem. The World Health Organization says diseases linked to smoking kill at least two million five-hundred-thousand persons each year.Still, many people find it difficult to stop smoking. One reason is that smoking usually becomes a habitual behavior, and habits, whether good or bad are not easy to be given up. Another reason is the effect of nicotine, the substance found in cigarettes works on people somewhat as drugs do.Measures have been taken to help people keep away from the harm of smoking. In many cities, smoking is forbidden in public places. The danger of smoking is warned of everywhere. And newspapers are asked not to publish advertisements for cigarettes. World "No Tobacco Day" is observed every year as the biggest campaign against smoking.My First JobBefore I started at university, I took my first job as a waitress in a nice restaurant. At the night before my first day, I was too excited to go to sleep and as a result, I got up late in the morning. I threw on my clothes and rushed over to the restaurant.In a great hurry, I didn't hear clearly the head waiter's instruction that we should go into the kitchen through one door and out from the other. So when I took two plates of eggs and bacon and an orange juice out to the restaurant, I went straight towards the wrong door and collided with another waiter coming in!Worst of all was that I wore a pair of smart shoes but with high heels! A few hours later I was in agony yet had no time to change them. By the time we finished serving dinner at about 10:30 I was completely exhausted. Nevertheless, I learnt something through my experience.The Battle Against AIDSJoin us in The Battle Against AIDS now. Everyone can play a part!The Battle Against AIDS puts us all on the same side. No disease on the face of the earth does more harm than AIDS, and there is no enemy in war more terrible than AIDS. Combating this awful disease is a life and death struggle.One thing that you can do is join an organization that works towards ending this epidemic. Organizations around the world not only offer people the opportunity to work with doctors and researchers, they also offer a chance to work with others. You can improve AIDS education by banding out literature about AIDS. Or you can write letters to government leaders, pressing them to support AIDS research.MoneyMoney is what everybody desires. It can be used to buy food, clothes, books, bicycle, furniture and many other things people need or want.Money is considered by many people as the most important thing in life. With money, they can go wherever they please and do whatever they want. With money, they can buy a fine house to live in, fashionable clothes to put on, and a nice bicycle to ride. And with money, they can employ attendants to serve them. In a word, money can make people comfortable and bring them happiness.However, money is also the source of all crimes and brings them misery. Since money is so tempting, quite a few people are attracted by it and begin to go astray. By hook or by crook, they try to make money. To get more money, they gamble, swindle, steal, rob or do many other evil things, for "money makes the mare go". As a result, money leads them to jail or even to the execution grounds.Of course money is useful and desirable, yet we should make money in proper way and spend our money on proper things.My View on OpportunityDifferent people have different views on opportunity. It is held that there are few opportunities. But it is also held that there are opportunities everywhere.Those who hold the first opinion think that there are too many people and there is always an intense competition for limited opportunities. In contrast, those who hold the second view think that if one is not prepared, he can hardly have any opportunities: however, if one is prepared, he can have a lot of opportunities.As to me, I agree with the latter. Admittedly, there is really an intense competition for limited opportunities, but it is not to say the one can't create opportunities himself. In most cases opportunities are created by people themselves. For example, many people lost their jobs in recent years. Some people wait for opportunities in vain. However, others create opportunities themselves and get self-employed. Eventually they become employers themselves.Therefore, to some extent, one can take his destiny into his own hands.Why Do We Attend UniversityWhen we consider why we should attend universities, different people have different ideas. In some students' eyes, studying in universities means a bright future after graduation. They think they are bound to find good jobs with a good college education. However, life in the colleges and the jobs that they can find are usually somewhat disappointing.Especially under the severe competition of today's society, it is not very easy for a college graduate to find a satisfying job. As far as I am concerned, universities can provide good study opportunities and essential facilities for those who want to acquire knowledge for the construction of our country, and this is the reason why we attend universitiesThe Generation GapNowadays many young people are complaining that their parents can not understand them very well. They say that their parents take care of every aspect of their lives leaving them a neighbor to have their private space yet parents are worried that their children don't show any respect to them and never give them any trust.Consequently the household phrase spreading it is the generation gap. By using this phrase both the young and the old have found a good explanation for their misunderstanding of each other. Yet they don't bother to take any measures to cover the distance between them.In my opinion I think we should first admit that there are indeed some differences between parents and children then we should try to take some time to communicate with each other frequently. Not only the parents but also the kids should be equal when they're exchanging their views. Only by the joint efforts can the parents and children breach the generation gap between them.The importance of waterOf all the things we eat and drink, water is the most important. We can live without food for many days, but two or three days without water, usually makes people die.However, not all of people understand this. They keep throwing rubbish into the rivers or lakes. Some factories even pour waste water into the river. As a result, many rivers and lakes have become so dirty that the water is no longer safe for people to drink.Let’s do our best to keep the water clean to save ourselves.Passage NineA young man with AIDS refuses to take medicine that could make his life longer and more comfortable, because he’s afraid the medicine will kill him. Incorrect beliefs about AIDS are common, and they cause greater pain and help to spread the disease.This is why the United Nations sends educators to the world’s poorest places, where people have the least education about AIDS. Once there, they talk with people, giving classes and meeting in clinics to discuss living with AIDS. They tell people what doctors have discovered about the disease, and ask them to trust AIDS medicines.In order to stop the spread of AIDS, education must reach more people. It is not enough only for money to be spent. And more medicines won’t solve all of the problems.Passage TenThere are simple rules for an interview, and it seems that everyone knows them. So, as an interviewer for my company, I expect people to be clean, well dressed, and show confidence when they see me. This is basic. But there is something else you must know.To leave a good impression in an interview, you must be able to talk about the company. Before you see the interviewer, do some reading. Understand the company’s specialneeds, so you can tell your interviewer how you can fill those needs. And then, you can explain why you should get the job.Part II Questions1.How do you feel about your English studies? Why?2.Some people prefer to listen to music while they are studying or working.

我通过背诵去学习语文古诗的英语作文
我通过背诵去学习语文古诗的英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Learning Ancient Chinese Poems Through RecitationPoetry has always held a special place in Chinese culture, and learning ancient poems by heart is a tradition that goes back centuries. As a young elementary school student, I initially found the idea of memorizing long, complex poems quite daunting. However, over time, I've come to appreciate the beauty and wisdom contained within these timeless verses, and the process of recitation has become an invaluable tool for not only improving my language skills but also developing discipline, focus, and a deeper understanding of Chinese history and culture.When I first started learning ancient poems in school, I'll admit, I found it quite challenging. The language used in these poems is often archaic and figurative, making it difficult for a young mind like mine to grasp the deeper meanings. However, my teacher encouraged us to approach the task with patienceand diligence, reminding us that the true value of these poems lies not just in their words but in the lessons they impart.One of the earliest poems I learned was the famous "Quiet Night Thought" by Li Bai, a renowned Tang Dynasty poet. At first, the lines seemed like a jumble of abstract imagery to me:"Bright moonlight before my bed,Suspected it was the frost on the ground.I raised my head and looked at the bright moon,Lowered my head and thought of my old hometown."However, as I repeated the verses over and over, their meaning gradually began to unfold. The poem, I realized, was a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the bittersweet longing for one's roots. Li Bai's words painted a vivid picture of a traveler gazing at the moon, reminded of his distant homeland, and pondering the impermanence of all things. Through recitation, I not only committed the poem to memory but also developed a deeper appreciation for the art of conveying profound emotions and insights through concise, evocative language.As I progressed through the grades, the poems grew increasingly complex, yet the process of recitation remained aconstant. I learned to savor the rhythmic cadence of the verses, allowing the words to flow like a gentle stream. Each poem became a tapestry woven with threads of history, philosophy, and human experience, waiting to be unraveled and understood.One of my favorite aspects of reciting ancient poems was the opportunity to delve into the rich cultural context that surrounded them. For instance, when studying the renowned "Seeing Off a Friend" by Li Bai, I learned about the tradition of drinking farewell cups of wine with dear friends before their journeys. The poem's opening lines, "The yellow birds have ceased their song, the hill path lies deserted and still," took on a deeper resonance as I imagined the poet and his companion parting ways amidst the tranquil beauty of nature.Recitation also helped me develop valuable skills that extended far beyond the realm of poetry. The discipline required to commit lengthy verses to memory honed my powers of concentration and perseverance. Whenever I felt discouraged or distracted, I would remind myself of the timeless wisdom embedded in these poems, and find renewed motivation to persevere.Moreover, the act of reciting aloud taught me the importance of clear enunciation, proper pacing, and emotionalexpression. I learned to modulate my voice, breathing life into the words and conveying the intended emotions with nuance and subtlety. This not only deepened my understanding of the poems but also improved my overall language abilities, boosting my confidence in public speaking and oral communication.As the years passed, I grew to cherish the ancient poems not just as literary masterpieces but as living embodiments of the collective human experience. Each verse was a window into the thoughts, emotions, and perspectives of those who came before us, offering valuable insights into the enduring challenges and joys of life itself.One poem that left a particularly profound impact on me was the famous "Encountering Sorrow" by Du Fu. In poignant lines, the poet grapples with the pain of loss and the harsh realities of war:"Good men are few, and they are far apart;The hair has fallen from my head,And the Milky Way is empty."As I recited these verses, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of empathy and connection with the poet's struggles. Despite the passage of centuries, the universal themes of grief, loneliness,and the fragility of human existence resonated profoundly with me. It was a reminder that literature has the power to transcend time and unite us all in our shared experiences.In addition to enriching my understanding of Chinese culture and history, the practice of reciting ancient poems also instilled in me a deep appreciation for the beauty and power of language itself. I marveled at how a carefully crafted arrangement of words could evoke vivid imagery, stir emotions, and convey profound truths in a way that seemed almost magical.As I approach the end of my elementary school journey, I find myself carrying with me a treasure trove of ancient poems, etched into the fabric of my memory and my soul. These verses have become more than mere literary works; they are companions that have guided me through the winding paths of life, offering solace, wisdom, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.Looking ahead, I know that the practice of reciting ancient poems will continue to be an invaluable part of my education and personal growth. These timeless verses will serve as a constant source of inspiration, reminding me of the enduring power of language, the importance of preserving culturalheritage, and the universal truths that bind us all together as members of the human family.In a world that often seems fraught with uncertainty and chaos, the ancient poems stand as beacons of wisdom and beauty, their words echoing through the ages like gentle ripples on a still pond. And as I continue to commit these verses to memory, reciting them with reverence and understanding, I know that I am not merely memorizing words but forging an unbreakable connection with the collective experiences and insights of those who came before me, ensuring that their voices will never be silenced, and their lessons will continue to guide generations to come.篇2Learning Ancient Chinese Poems by HeartPoetry has always been a big part of my life. Ever since I was a tiny kid, my parents would recite classical Chinese poems to me at bedtime instead of reading storybooks. At first, I didn't really understand what they were saying, but I loved the lyrical sounds and rhythms of the words. As I got older, the meanings behind the poems started to become clear, and I felt like I was unlocking little pockets of wisdom from the past.When I started primary school, we had poetry recitation sessions as part of our Chinese language classes. Many of the poems we learned were the same ones my parents had shared with me over the years. Classics like "Quiet Night Thought" by Li Bai and "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" by Bai Juyi rolled off my tongue easily because I'd heard them so many times before.At first, just being able to recite the poems from memory was enough to earn high marks. But as we progressed through the grades, our teachers expected us to analyze the deeper meanings and poetic techniques used by the authors. That's when I started to appreciate just how much work goes into creating an enduring masterpiece of poetry.Take "Quiet Night Thought" for example. On the surface, it's a simple poem describing the author's contemplations while lying awake one night looking at the moonlight. But there are so many layers of symbolism and metaphor packed into just 20 short lines. The moonlight represents clarity of mind, while the ever-flowing streams represent the ceaseless passage of time. There are intricate tonal patterns and rhythmic structures that make the lines so melodious and memorable when recited aloud.The more I studied and internalized these ancient poems, the more I felt a connection to the cultural legacy of Chinastretching back thousands of years. These masterworks were windows into how people long ago expressed their most profound thoughts and emotions about life, death, nature, and the human condition. Phrases and images from poems I knew by heart would often come to mind and give me new insights about my own experiences.Memorizing the poems was no easy task, of course. It took discipline, repetition, and a lot of hard work. My parents insisted I recite passages aloud while doing household chores or walking to school - any opportunity to practice. Sometimes I would grumble about having to essentially learn "song lyrics" from a thousand years ago. But my parents explained that internalizing these classics was the best way to truly understand the genius of Chinese literary culture and cement the learnings in my mind forever.They were right - to this day, I can still recite dozens of ancient poems from memory with perfect enunciation and tonal inflections. The process of rote memorization was mentally grueling at times, but it grafted potent insights about history, philosophy and humanity into the core of my being. I'm deeply grateful my parents and teachers instilled this practice in me from a young age.Sometimes my friends would look at me like I was crazy when I would randomly break out into a passage from the Song dynasty poem "The Paddlewheel Cavaliers" during our games of skip-rope or sidewalk chalking. But I didn't care - I knew I was keeping an important channel to the past alive and passing it forward to new generations. My best friend Andrew was so impressed with my skills that he started to learn poems by heart too. We would have recitation competitions during recess to see who could recreate each line with more dramatic flair and emotional resonance.Performing these ancient poems out loud also gave me an early appreciation for the art of public speaking. I learned how to project my voice with clarity, modulate my tones for effect, and become animated with hand gestures and facial expressions when the verses called for it. Whenever I had to give class presentations, I always earned praise for my confidence, passion and stage presence - skills forged through years of poetry recitation experience.Even now, as I look ahead to starting middle school in the fall, the lessons encapsulated in those ancient poems still guide my perspective. When facing a difficult challenge, lines from "Solider, Soldier" by Bai Juyi will pop into my head:"The thundering streams careen,But the stone ridges still remain."Those words remind me to persevere and endure through life's turbulence like the sturdy rocks withstanding the flow of the river's current. I know those profound truths are embedded in my psyche for good thanks to my classical poetry education.So while many kids my age are still struggling to comprehend the basics of Chinese script and grammar, I am able to deeply connect with the most revered literary works in the language that have stood the test of centuries. By learning these ancient verses by heart, I unlocked an intimate understanding of Chinese culture that cannot be fully obtained through textbook study alone. I am forever grateful that my parents and teachers gifted me this lasting legacy by having me commit these poetic masterpieces to memory from a young age.Looking ahead, I plan to continue feeding my passion for classical Chinese poetry. I dream of one day being able to compose original verses in the same style as Li Bai or Du Fu that ingeniously capture the human experience using natural metaphors and vivid imagery. Maybe a poem of my own creation will get added to the curriculum for future generations to memorize and appreciate. For now, I will happily keep recitingand finding new layers of profundity in these timeless artistic treasures from China's golden age of literature.篇3Learning Chinese Poetry Through RecitationHi there! My name is Li Ming and I'm a 5th grader at Springtime Elementary School in Beijing. I love lots of different subjects, but one of my favorites is Chinese language arts class. We get to read all kinds of cool stories and poems from long ago. My teacher says it's important for us to learn about our cultural heritage through the ancient texts.One thing we spend a lot of time on is memorizing and reciting classical poems. At first, I didn't really get why we had to do so much memorization. It seemed kind of boring and hard. But after doing it for a while, I've come to really appreciate and even enjoy the practice of reciting poetry from memory. Let me tell you about it!In the beginning, our teacher would write out a poem on the blackboard, go over its meaning and explain any words or phrases we didn't understand. Then we'd read it together as a class a few times. After that, the real work began - we had to start memorizing it line by line.Our teacher used some techniques to help us lock the words into our brains. Sometimes she'd have us read one line while clapping the rhythm. Or we'd pass a ball around the room, each person reciting the next line when catching the ball. We also did things like rewriting the poem from memory or drawing pictures to go with each couplet. It was kind of like a game!At home, my parents would quiz me on the poems I was learning at school. My mom or dad would recite a line, and I'd have to recite the next one from memory. If I got stuck, they'd give me a hint or two to jog my memory. We'd go back and forth like that until I could recite the whole poem smoothly.After doing this routine for a few weeks per poem, the words really started sticking in my head. I'd find myself unconsciously reciting lines while walking to school or playing outside. The poems became implanted in my mind and memory.Once I had thoroughly memorized a poem, the next step was reciting it out loud, putting emotion and expression into the words. Our teacher would model this for us first. She had such a magical way of bringing the ancient poems to life - changing her tone, pace and inflection for different parts. When she recited, it was like she was acting out a little play or drama.Then it was our turn to give it a try, reciting solo in front of the class. I was always nervous to do this at first. My palms would get sweaty and my heart would pound in my chest. But as soon as I started reciting the lines I had practiced so many times, the words would flow out smoothly. Our teacher coached us on how to really put feeling into our voices and gestures to match the poem's meaning and imagery.I can still remember the first time I recited a long poem from memory in front of my parents and got through it without any mistakes. They cheered and gave me the biggest hugs afterwards. I felt so proud of myself and all the hard work I had put into memorizing every single word and line. Reciting that poem gave me a huge sense of accomplishment!After doing this kind of intensive recitation practice with many different classical poems over the years, I've developed a really deep appreciation for this ancient art form. These poems open up a window onto times long past - how people thought and felt, what was important to them, their perspective on nature, life, relationships and more. By ingraining the actual words of the poems into my mind through recitation, their meanings, images and emotions become a permanent part of me. It's like a direct transmission of culture, wisdom and history.I'm amazed by how powerfully and vividly some of these poems written hundreds of years ago can speak to the human experience. Even as a modern kid, I can understand the poet's joys and sorrows, their wistful longing or stillness of mind. Memorizing and reciting the poems forges a connection between me and those long-ago writers. Their thoughts and words reverberate through the centuries and become part of my own inner universe.Sure, the process of intense memorization can be difficult and demanding at times. There are plenty of nights when I'm stolid over my books, trying to ingrain cada línea of a new poem. But I've learned it's absolutely worth the effort. Once those words enter your mind and soul through recitation, they remain forever.Thanks to this practice, I've cultivated a profound love and respect for my cultural heritage and literary traditions. The classical poems have become sources of wisdom, solace, and inspiration woven into the fabric of my young life. Whenever I'm struggling with something, I can recite a poem in my head and it helps me find perseverance. When I'm happy, I can recite celebrating the beauty of nature. This ancient art is truly a timeless treasure.I feel very lucky that, unlike my ancestors who had tohand-copy texts, my generation has access to many books and resources about classical poetry. I can use references and recordings to perfect my recitation and understanding. Even though the poems are ancient, teachers make them relevant by connecting them to our modern lives. I know the practice of reciting these great works from memory will always be an important part of my education and growth.Who knows, maybe I'll even become a poet myself one day! For now, I'll keep diligently working on internalizing the poets of the past. With each new poem committed to memory through recitation, it's like I'm opening up another doorway into the vast richness of my cultural heritage. My mind is becoming an archive steeped in centuries of human expression, experience and brilliance. All thanks to this amazing tradition that seemed so daunting at first, but has brought me one of my greatest joys - the reverie of poetry dwelling within me.。

TPO64阅读-2 Auditory Perception in Infancy原文 (1)译文 (3)题目 (4)答案 (8)背景知识 (9)原文Auditory Perception in Infancy①Because they have had some practice in hearing before birth, it is not surprising that infants have reasonably good auditory perception after they are born. In fact, for certain very high and very low frequencies, infants actually are more sensitive to sound than adults—a sensitivity that seems to increase during the first two years of life. On the other hand, infants are initially less sensitive than adults to middle-range frequencies. Eventually, however, their capabilities within the middle range improve.②It is not fully clear what leads to the improvement during infancy in sensitivity to sounds, although it may be related to the maturation of the nervous system. More puzzling is why, after infancy, children’s ability to hear very high and low frequencies gradually declines. One explanation may be that exposure to high levels of noise may diminish capacities at the extreme ranges.③In addition to the ability to detect sound, infants need several other abilities in order to hear effectively. For instance, sound localization permits infants to pinpoint the direction from which a sound is emanating. Compared to adults, infants have a slight handicap in this task, because effective sound localization requires the use of the slight difference in the times at which a sound reaches our two ears. Because infants’heads are smaller than those of adults, the difference in timing of the arrival of sound at the two ears is less than it is in adults. However, despite the potential limitation brought about by their smaller heads, infants’sound localization abilities are actually fairly good even at birth, and they reach adult levels of success by the age of one year. Interestingly, their improvement isnot steady: although we don’t know why, the accuracy of sound localization actually declines between birth and two months of age, but then begins to increase.④Even more important to their ultimate success in the world, young infants are capable of making the fine discriminations that their future understanding of language will require. For instance, in one classic study, a group of one-to four-month-old infants sucked on nipples that activated a recording of a person saying “ba”every time they sucked. At first, their interest in the sound made them suck vigorously. Soon, though, they became acclimated to the sound and sucked with less energy. On the other hand, when the experimenters changed the sound to “pa,”the infants immediately showed new interest and sucked with greater vigor once again. The clear conclusion: infants as young as one month old could make the distinction between the two similar sounds.⑤Even more intriguing is the fact that young infants are able to discriminate certain characteristics that differentiate one language from another. Some evidence suggests that even two day olds show preferences for the language spoken by those around them over other languages. In the first few months, the ability to discriminate between languages develops rapidly. By the age of five months, they can distinguish the difference between English and Spanish passages, even when the two are similar in meter, number of syllables, and speed of recitation.⑥Given their ability to discriminate a difference in speech as slight as the difference between two consonants, it is not surprising that infants can distinguish different people on the basis of voice. In fact, from an early age they show clear preferences for some voices over others. For instance, in one experiment newborns were allowed to suck a nipple that turned on a recording of a human voice reading a story. The infants sucked significantly longer when the voice was that of their mother than when the voice was that of a stranger.⑦How do such preferences arise? One hypothesis is that prenatal exposure to the mother’s voice is the key. As support for this conjecture, researchers point to the fact that newborns do not show a preference for their fathers’voices over other male voices. Furthermore, newborns prefer listening to melodies sung by theirmothers before they were born to melodies that were not sung before birth. It seems, then, that the prenatal exposure to their mothers’voices—although muffled by the liquid environment of the womb—helps shape infants’listening preferences.译文婴儿的听觉感知①因为婴儿在出生前已经进行过听力训练，所以婴儿在出生后具有相当好的听觉感知也就不足为奇了。

四年级朗诵英语稿范文Recitation has long been a fundamental aspect of language learning, particularly in the realm of English education. As students progress through the academic journey, the ability to effectively recite and present text becomes increasingly important. In the case of fourth-grade students, the opportunity to showcase their English language proficiency through recitation can be a transformative experience, fostering confidence, public speaking skills, and a deeper understanding of the language.The selection of an appropriate recitation script is a critical step in this process. The script should not only challenge the students to engage with the language on a deeper level but also resonate with their interests and experiences. One such example is the following recitation script, which explores the themes of friendship, perseverance, and the wonders of the natural world.The script begins with a captivating introduction, setting the stage for the audience to embark on a journey through the eyes of the narrator. "Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a birdsoaring high above the clouds, free to explore the vast expanse of the sky?" the narrator asks, immediately capturing the imagination of the listeners.As the recitation progresses, the narrator introduces the protagonist, a young girl named Emily, who discovers a wounded bird in her backyard. This moment serves as a catalyst for the unfolding narrative, as Emily's compassion and determination to help the bird take center stage.

The use of vivid descriptors, such as "the bird's delicate wings" and "the gentle breeze that rustled the leaves," helps to create a vivid mental image for the audience, immersing them in the story.One of the most poignant moments in the script occurs when Emily realizes that the bird is ready to return to the wild. "As I watched the bird take flight, I felt a bittersweet mix of joy and sadness," the narrator shares, capturing the complex emotions that often accompany the process of letting go. This passage not onlyshowcases Emily's growth and maturity but also reinforces the universal themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the beauty of the natural world.Throughout the recitation, the language used is both accessible and engaging for fourth-grade students. The vocabulary is carefully selected to challenge the students without overwhelming them, allowing them to develop their English proficiency while maintaining a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment.

Opportunities for dramatic pauses, emotive inflections, and even subtle physical gestures are woven throughout the text, inviting the students to bring the story to life and connect with the audience on a deeper level.In conclusion, this sample recitation script for fourth-grade students offers a compelling and well-crafted example of how language learning can be elevated through the power of storytelling and performance. By engaging with themes that resonate with young learners, employing accessible yet challenging language, andincorporating dramatic elements, the script creates a rich and rewarding experience for both the students and the audience.

Passage for Recitation 2
Passage for Recitation 2The vocabulary of this passage is from p. 241 to p. 242 of the white –coveredreference book.No insurance company can insure the harmonious relationship between teachers and students. Nevertheless, we must find some approaches to constructing a harmonious campus. Some argue that teachers should be responsible for the relationship with students, some think hold that students should be to blame when some conflicts arise, others are neutral, claiming that both teachers and students must make strenuous efforts to enjoy the school career.It is undeniable that teachers should be the leading factor when it comes to the teacher-and –student relationship. Sometimes teachers make students depressed. When a teacher catches a cheating student on the spot, when a teacher by accident sprays water towards the students, when the medium –sized school with only an automatic door compels the students to compete with a school with the advanced facilities, when a school distributes handouts to the students, preventing them from disturbing the industrious students during the break, all the students must be extremely angry, inferring that the school must plan to integrate them into the moist classroom, where they can be killed by the moisture. Consequently, rather than promoting the academic achievements, the school may become a notorious one in the region, with fewer and fewer students registered. Under such circumstances, it has been demonstrated that only the stable relationship without conflicts can provide the school with a splendid prospect, thus emphasizing the great role of the teachers in the school’s prosperity.The harmonious relationship requires a school to cancel any unreasonable regulations, and take various aspects into consideration when coping with any problems, with good intention as the core, so that an ideal relationship can be maintained. Take some universities located in the mainland for example. Some universities have variable disciplines, which make some students increasingly sophisticated, thus being unwilling to be constant when tackling both domestic and overseas affairs. The authorities must save those students having been on the cliff!As for the exact measures, first, the school must have a fair attitude towards each student, without regard to their audio abilities. Anyone commits（这里应该是Anyone commtting(现在分词短语作后置定语）；或者是Anyone who commits; 或者是Whoever commits the mistake must be punished. Second, a school must avoid commenting on each student’s private affairs. Third, a school must instruct the students to distinguish distress and despair. Fourth, all the faculty should not act as mixture of beasts and human beings, which means they must be in good mood when facing their students, acting as prominent moral models (modal为模态，而model 为榜样，显然model 更好）. Fifth, only vivid examples can be adopted when vocabulary is dealt with, and only ventures in a version of a certain novel can be introduced in case that any other examples can make the bored students yawn. In brief, in any zone, there are really some available strategic strategies that must be figured out to ease the tense teacher-and –student relationship, which, to some extent, les in the schools’ yielding to the students, thus, teaching and leaning may be like wakingon diverse avenues in the summer, entitling all the teachers and students to be lost in learning, so secure and relaxing, compared with dashing and diving.However, students also play a critical(这个词critical 重要的比critic批判性的更适用） role in an ideal teacher-and –student relationship. To begin with, a student must learn to regulate his or her own feelings, releasing themselves from the psychological problem. Besides, a student must avoid exaggerating the difficulties he or she meets in study and life, thus discarding any evil attitudes towards the teachers. Third, at the moment his or her confidence shrinks, he or she may as well make a survey by subway among the wealthy households living in suburbs, comparing the rich’s life with the teachers’, thus being aware of the teachers’ selfless contribution and the necessity of adjusting to the school requirements, which really is for his or her own profits. Fourth, a student must know that rejecting teachers’ good will and strictness can only make him or her the deserter of the fate. In a word, any students, who feel like succeeding, must give priority to any tasks given by teachers instead of pretending to be deaf or dumb.What is remarkable is the third opinion, supporting the joint effort of teachers and students for a harmonious campus. Frankly speaking, it really is the principle. It is true that without the joint effort, any one-sided effort will be in vain. Both teachers and students must undertake the mission, abandoning any obstacles on the way of mutual communication, even if sometimes some odd measures have to be taken. Both must have the enthusiasm about constructing a warm academic environment, restraining themselves from any bad thoughts about the opposite site, arousing mutual love, simplifying any seemingly complicated issues, getting rid of any sorrow arising in the contact, thus making full use of the opportunities of cultivating and becoming any great scholars in various fields such as architecture, biology, geography, geology, geometry, algebra and the like. Bear in mind that where there is the joint effort of teachers and students, there is entertainment and success on campus.。

Recitation is a timeless tradition that transcends cultures and epochs. It is an art form that not only entertains but also educates, serving as a medium through which language proficiency is honed and refined. In this essay, we delve into the significance of regular recitation as a tool for language development, exploring its benefits and providing insights into how one can integrate it into their daily routine effectively.First and foremost, regular recitation serves as a potent means of improving pronunciation and articulation. By repeatedly vocalizing written texts, individuals can familiarize themselves with the nuances of phonetics and intonation patterns inherent in the language. Through conscious efforts to emulate native speakers, learners can refine their accents and develop a clearer, more naturalmode of expression. Moreover, the act of reciting aloud encourages individuals to enunciate words accurately, thereby enhancing their overall communication skills.Furthermore, recitation facilitates vocabulary acquisition and retention. When learners engage with diverse texts, they encounter unfamiliar words and expressions, thereby expanding their lexical repertoire. Through repeated exposure and practice, these words become integrated into their active vocabulary, empowering them to express themselves more precisely and fluently. Additionally, recitation reinforces the contextual understanding of words, enabling learners to grasp their nuances and connotations in different contexts.Moreover, regular recitation fosters a deeper appreciation for literary works and cultural heritage. As individuals immerse themselves in the beauty of language through recitation, they develop a heightened sensitivity to the nuances of poetry, prose, and drama. Byinternalizing the rhythm, imagery, and symbolism embedded within literary texts, learners cultivate a richerunderstanding of the cultural contexts from which they emerge. Consequently, recitation becomes a gateway to exploring diverse perspectives and worldviews, enriching one's intellectual and emotional experiences.In addition to its linguistic and cultural benefits, regular recitation contributes to cognitive development and mental well-being. Research has shown that engaging in activities that stimulate the brain, such as recitation, can enhance cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and concentration. The act of memorizing and reciting passages exercises the brain's neural pathways, promoting neuroplasticity and cognitive flexibility. Moreover, recitation serves as a form of mindfulness practice, fostering a sense of focus and presence as individuals immerse themselves in the rhythmic cadence of spoken language.Practical Tips for Incorporating Recitation into Daily Routine:1. Select diverse texts: Choose a variety of literarygenres, including poetry, prose, and speeches, to maintain interest and expand your repertoire.2. Start small: Begin with short passages or poems and gradually increase the length and complexity as your proficiency improves.3. Establish a regular schedule: Allocate a specific time each day dedicated to recitation, whether it be in the morning to energize your day or in the evening to unwind.4. Utilize audio resources: Listen to recordings of native speakers reciting texts to familiarize yourself with natural intonation patterns and accents.5. Seek feedback: Share your recitations with peers or language instructors to receive constructive criticism and guidance for improvement.In conclusion, regular recitation is a multifaceted practice that enhances language proficiency, enriches cultural understanding, and promotes cognitive well-being.By incorporating recitation into our daily routines, we embark on a journey of linguistic exploration and personal growth, harnessing the transformative power of spoken language to connect with others and expand our horizons. As we embrace the art of recitation, we not only refine our linguistic skills but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of human expression.。

A Little EnglishClassicin the MorningThe way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as often as possible.Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself. Learning foreign languages should be fun.Learning any language takes a lot of effort. But don't give up.Passage One [ æ]→[е]Russell on AffectionBy Bertrand Russell The b e st type of aff e ction is reciprocally life-giving; each receives aff e ction with joy and gives it without e ffort, and each finds the whole world more interesting in consequence of the existence of this reciprocal h a ppiness. There is, how e ver, another kind, by no means uncommon, in which one person sucks the vit a lity of the other, one receives what the other gives, but gives almost nothing in return. Some v e ry vital people belong to this bloodsucking type. They extr a ct the vit a lity from one victim after another, but while they prosper and grow interesting, those upon whom they live grow pale and dim and dull. Such people use others as means to their own e nds, and n e ver consider them as e nds in thems e lves. Fundam e ntally they are not interested in those whom for the moment they think they love; they are interested only in the stimulus to their own a ctivities, perh a ps of a quite impersonal sort.E vidently this springs from some def e ct in their nature, but it is one not altogether easy either to diagnose or to cure.It is a ch a racteristic frequently associated with greata mbition, a nd is rooted, I should say, in an unduly one-sided view of what makes human h a ppiness.Passage Two [е]→[æ]Bill Gates‟s Speech at HarvardBy Bill GatesDon‟t l e t compl e xity stop you. Be activities. Take on the big in e quity. It will be one of the great ex- periences of your lives.You gr a duates are coming of age in an amazing time. As you leave Harvard, you h a ve t e chnology th a t m e mbers of my class n e ver h a ve. You h a ve awareness of global in e quity, which we did not h a ve. And with th a t awareness, you likely also h a ve an informed conscience that will torm e nt you if you ab a ndon these people whose lives you could change with v e ry little e ffort. You have more th a n we h a d; you must start sooner, and c a rry on longer.Knowing what you know, how could you not?And I hope you will come b a ck here to Harvard 30 years from now and refl e ct on what you h a ve done with your t a lent and your e nergy. I hope you will judge yourselves not on your prof e ssional accomplishments alone, but also on how w e ll you h a ve addr e ssed the world‟s deepest in e quities, on how w e ll you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but their hum a nity.Passage Three [е]→[æ]It won‟t matter where you came from, or on wh at side of the tracks you lived. It won‟t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant.So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built, not what you got, but what you gave.What will matter is not your success, but your significance.What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.What will matter is not your competence, but your character.What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many wil l feel a lasting loss when you‟re gone.What will matter is how long you will be remembered,by whom and for what.Living a life that matters doesn‟t happen by accident.It‟s not a matter of circumstance but of choice.Choose to live a life that matters.Passage Four ⅰ[ī]Beautiful Smile and LoveBy Mother Teresa ofCalcuttaAnd w i th th i s prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for man y people who have no home. Because I believe that love beg i ns at home, and i f we can create a home for the poor I th i nk that more and more love w i ll spread. And we w i ll be able through th i s understanding love to br i ng peace, be the good news to the poor, the poor i n our own famil y first, i n our countr y and i n the world. To be able to do th i s, our S i sters, our lives have to be woven w i th prayer. They have to be woven w i th Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because to be woven w i th Christ i s to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because today there i s so much suffer i ng… When I p i ck up a person from the street, hungr y, I g i ve h i m a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have sat i sfied. I have removed that hungr y. But a person who i s shut out, who feels unwant e d, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from societ y--- that poverty i s so full of hurt and so unbearable… And so let us always meet each other w i th a smile, for the smile i s the beg i nn i ng of love, and once we beg i n to love each other naturall y we want to do someth i ng.Passage Five [θ]→ [ ð]The Road Not TakenBy Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bo thAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrow th;Then took the o th er, as just as fairAnd having perhaps th e better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Th ough as for th at, th e passing th ereHad worn th em really about th e same,And bo th th at morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept th e first for ano th er day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling th is wi th a signSomewhere ages and ages hence;Two roads diverged in a wood, and I----I took th e one less traveled by,And th at has made all th e difference.Passage Six [t∫]→[∫]Sophie‟s WorldBy Jostein Gaarder Who are you? She had no idea. She was Sophie Amundsen, of course, but who was that? She had not really figured that out yet.What if she had been given a different name? Anneen, for instance. Would sh e then have been someone else?Sh e suddenly remembered that Dad had originally wanted her to be called Lillemor. Sophie tried to imagine herself sh aking hands and introducing herself as Lillemor Amundsen, but it seemed allwrong. It was someone else who kept introducing herself.Sh e jumped up and went into the bathroom with the strange letter in her hand. She stood in front of the mirror and stared into her own eyes. “ I am Soph ie Amundsen,” she said.The girl in the mirror did not react with as much as a twi tch. Whatever Sophie did, she did exactly the same. Sophie tried to beat her reflec tion to it with a lightning movement but the other girl was just as fast.“Who are you?” So phie asked.Sh e received no response to this either, but felt a momentary confusion as to whether it was she or her reflection who had asked the ques tion.Sophie pressed her index finger to the nose in the mirror and said, “ You are me.”As sh e got no answer to this, sh e turned the sentence around and said, “I am you.”Passage Seven [ aī]Three Days to SeeBy Helen KellerMost of us, however, take l i fe for granted. We know that one day we must d ie, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant (心情愉快的) health, death is all but unimaginable. When seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista（展望）. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward l i fe.The same lethargy（倦怠）, I am afraid, character i zes the use of all our faculties andsenses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only thebl i nd real i ze the manifold blessings that l ie ins igh t. Particularly does this observation appl y to those who have lost s igh t and hearing in adult l i fe. But those who have never suffered impairment of s igh t or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eye s and ears take in alls igh ts and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken bl i nd and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult l i fe. Darkness would make him more appreciative of s igh t; s i lence would teach him the joys of sound.Passage Eight [ m ]--- [ n ]Companionship of BooksBy Samuel SmilesA good book m ay be a m ong the best of frie n ds. It is the sa m e today that it always was, a n d it will n ever cha n ge. It is the m ost patie n t a n d cheerful of co m pa n io n s. It does n ot tur n its back upo n us i n ti m es of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the sa m e ki n d n ess; a m using a n d i n structing usi n youth, a n d co m forting a n d co n soling us in age.M e n ofte n discover their affi n ity to each other by the love they have each for a book--- just as two perso n s so m eti m es discover a friend by the ad m iration which both have for a third. There is a n old proverb. “Love m e, love m y dog.” But there is m ore wisdo m i n this: “Love m e, love m y book.” The book is a truer a n d higher bo n d of u n io n.

Because we are f oo d for worms, lads. Because, believe it or not, each and every one of us in this r oo m is, one day, gonna stop breathing, turn cold, and die. I would like you to step forward over here and peruse some of the faces from the past. You‟ve walked past them many times, but I don‟t think you‟ve really l oo ked at them. They‟re not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts, f u ll of hormones just like you. Invincible just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they‟re destined for great things, just like many of you. Their eyes are f u ll of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was t oo late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see, gentlemen, those boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy t o you. Go on, lean in. Listen. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.Passage Ten [ dƷ]On Going a JourneyBy William HazlittOne of the pleasantest things in the world is going a j ourney; but I like to go by myself. I can en j oy society in a room, but out of doors, nature is company enough for me. I am then never less alone than when alone.“The fields his study, nature was his book.”I can not see the wit of walking and talking at the same time. When I am in the country I wish to ve g etate like the country I am not for criticizing he dge-rows and black cattle. I go out of town in order to forget the town and all that is in it. There are those who for this purpose go to watering-places, and carry the metropolis with them. I like more elbowroom and fewer in cumbrances. I like solitude, when I give myself up to it, for the sake of solitude; nor do I ask for.“A friend in my retreat, whom I may whisper solitude is sweet.”The soul of a j ourney is liberty, perfect liberty, tothink, feel, do, just as one pleases. We go a j ourney chiefly to free of all impediments and of all inconveniences; to leave ourselves behind, much more to get rid of others. It is because I want a little breathing-space to muse on indifferent matters.Passage ElevenAngelOnce upon a time there was a childready to be born.One day the child asked God: "They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"God replied: "Among the many angels, I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.""But," said the child: "tell me here in Heaven I don…t do any thing else but sing and smile. That…s what I need to be happy!"God said: "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel…s love and be happy.""And," said the child: "how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, If I don‟t know the language that men talk?""That‟s easy", said God: "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."The child looked up at God saying: "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"God smiled at the child saying: "Your angel will Place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."The child said: "I…ve heard on earth there are bad men. Who will Protect me?"God put his arm around the child, saying: "Your angel will defend you - even if it means risking life!"The child looked sad, saying: "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."God hugged the child: "Your angel will alwaystalk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard.The child, in a hurry, asked softly: "Oh God, if I am about to leave now Please tell my Angel‟s name!"God replied: "Your Angel…s name is of no importance...you will simply call her MOMMY!"Passage TwelveThink it over…Today we have higher buildings and widerhighways, but shorter temperamentsand narrower points of view;We spend more, but enjoy less;We have bigger houses, but smaller families ;We have more compromises, but less time；We have more knowledge, but less judgment;We have more medicines ,but less health;We have multiplied out possessions ; but reduced our values;We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much;We reached the Moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors;We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space;We have higher income, but less morals;These are times with more liberty, but less joy;We have much more food, but less nutrition;These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase;These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes;That‟s why I propose, that as of today;You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a SPECIAL OCCASION.Search for knowledge, read more ,sit on yourporch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs;Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, visit the places you love;Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; not only about survival;Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it.Remove from your vocabulary phrases like" one of these days” or "someday";Let‟s write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days"!Let‟s tell our families and friends how much we love them;Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life;Every day, every hour and every minute is special;And you don…t know if it will be your last.Passage ThirteenA Forever Friend"A friend walk in when the rest of theworld walks out."Sometimes in life, You find a special friend;Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.Someone wh o makes you laugh until you can‟t stop;Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.This is Forever Friendship.W hen you‟re down, and the world seems dark and empty,Your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenlyseem bright and full.Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, he sad times, and the confusedtimes.If you turn and walk away,Your forever friend follows,If you lose you way,Your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.And if you find such a friend,You feel happy and complete,Because you need not worry,Your have a forever friend for life,And forever has no end.When you understand the cultural background, you can better use the language.I would also like to learn more about the culture behind the language.。
