学位英语必背范文WeatherWeather affects all of us in one way or another, directly or indirectly. For example, good weather makes people happy and gay, while bad weather makes people sick and depressed. Besides, on a fine day, one can get out for a walk or play a game in the open air. On a rainy day, however, he can only stay indoors. In a word, weather is part of life for all of us.The first thing that many people do after getting up in the morning is to see what the weather is like. With a knowledge of the weather, people can arrange work and life of the day. If it is fine, he may decide to go on a picnic. If it is cloudy, he will have to take a raincoat or an umbrella with him when he is leaving the house. Whatever the weather may be, one tends to adjust his activities to it accordingly.In order to know what the weather will be, special people are hired to provide this information. They collect data, analyze them and provide the weather of the coming day. This information, which is announced on the radio or on TV, is usually very accurate. Thanks to the efforts of those professionals, we can always know the weather in advance and get prepared for it.2 Health or WealthI prefer health to wealth if I have to choose between them. It is true that wealth makes life easier and more comfortable, but health is even more important. Only when one has good health can he pursue wealth and happiness.Wealth cannot be acquired without health. As we know, to gain wealth usually means working hard. If one does not have a strong body, how can he work hard? How can he have enough energy to overcome all the difficulties on his way towards success? Only with a sound body may one get a chance to enjoy the better life provided by his wealth because health ensure wealth but not vice versa. Therefore, health is the basis for attaining wealth.Even if one is born into a rich family, wealth alone cannot make him happy. Imagine a rich man who can do nothing but stay in bed. How can he enjoy his life? What can his money do for him? So long as one is healthy, there are always chances for him to attain everything including wealth.3Directions: For this part, you need to write a short passage with a title Spring Festival in not less than 100 words.

China has a large population. In order to control the growth of population and improve the living standard of the people, the government requires that every family have one child. Most people take a positive attitude towards the one-child policy. They realize that a family with one child is better than those with more children. Parents have much time show concern about the growth of their child. In addition, they can spend more time on their studies and work.But there are some negative views about the one-child family. Some people argue that it may lead to some social problems in future. For example, the parents will feel lonely when their child gets married. Moreover, parents tend to spoil their only child.In my opinion, one-child family has a lot of advantages. It benefits people as well as the country. Besides, it is of great importance to the development of our country.8HobbiesAlmost everyone has a hobby. Hobbies can bring us happiness and entertainment.

Every single stamp seems to be a beautiful flower, a story and a good friend. Whenever I open my stamp-album and look at the stamps, I feel I am immersed in happy reveries.9Why Should a Person Go to SchoolA person needs to learn both knowledge and moral principles in order to be useful and upright. These are the basic qualities he needs to survive in the society and to make further achievements.Schools are places where one can learn useful skills and get to know the meaning of life.

A teacher is a medium that connects students to higher knowledge. He should teach what he knows to his students.Besides, a teacher should teach the students to be upright. He ought to set up a good example for the students as an honest, kind and responsible person and tell the students what to do or not to do.A teacher should also be willing to help students solve various problems. Young people may meet many problems on their way to become adults. When this happens, they may come to their teachers for help. In this case, teachers are responsible to give necessary assistance.11Is Money EverythingMoney is a necessary means to get material goods. No matter it is food, clothes or furniture, each of them costs money. You can get none of them for free.But there are things that money can not buy. Not all the things in the world can be evaluated and estimated by money. You can not acquire things like love, happiness and friendship merely with money.So we may conclude that money is not everything. It is useful to get many things you need or you like. You can survivewithout it. But when it comes to feelings and emotions, it loses its magic power as to material things.12 Laid-off Workers and Re-employment (下岗工人与再就业)There is an increasing number of workers not only the middle-aged but also the young who are laid off their jobs. And these employed are also worried a great deal that someday they may lose their job. This phenomenon has caught a great social attention.The increasing number of laid-off workers is caused mainly by the industrial restructuring and economic development across China. In order to improve efficiency, many enterprises have to reduce workforce. Another reason is that some enterprises claim bankruptcy, which made millions of workers jobless. Laborers from countries are also contributing to the increasing numbers of the laid-offs.Off-job doesn’t men no job. There are plenty of opportunities for the laid-off workers to be re-employed. But they have to get job training to make themselves qualified and competitive in human resources market.13 Why Should We Learn EnglishEnglish language has now become an international language as it is spoken in most countries in the world. For example, English is the native language in the U.S., the Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. and it is also the official language in many other countries and international affaires.As we know, most of the valuable books, newspaper and magazines are printed in English. If we want to read them to increase our knowledge, we must learn English. If we want to do business with foreign countries, we should also learn English. Why? It is just because English is spoken by the majority of foreigners.We people in China come into contact with more and more foreign countries, English is considered as the most important and indispensable tool to communication. This is the reason why there are so many people in our country who learn English. The know that learning English helps make life more convenient.14Smoking CigarettesSmoking is a common phenomenon. People have smoked cigarettes for a long time. The tobacco which is used to make cigarettes was first grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe where smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turk made cigarettes popular.However, it does more harm than good. Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing rate.Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. Therefore, efforts should be made to restrict smoking. The U.S. Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking is the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. The U.S. government now requires that each package of cigarettes bear a special warning about the dangers of smoking.15Is Failure a Bad ThingFailure is a common thing in our daily life. As a student, we sometimes fail to get high scores in our examinations. When we p lay games, we can’t avoid being beaten by the others. And there are times when we fail to do more satisfactory work. All these failures happen naturally and almost every one of us has such experience.However, there are different attitudes towards failure. Some people lose heart in failure, and they think the world is at itsend. Some people don’t take failure seriously, and they just let it be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light of hope through failure.In my opinion, what really counts is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and do after failure. As long as we don’t give up and believe in ourselves, and in the meantime learn some thing from failure, we’ll certainly make progress in the end. So I’m never afraid of failure. I believe failure is not a bad thing.16The Way to SuccessIt is true that everyone tries to achieve success in his/her career. But one finally attains his/her aim while the other fails. Why? Because the one continues his cause to the end through long period of hard struggles. But the other is easily disappointed and stops halfway.In addition to strong will, perseverance and diligence are also essential to success. A man of strong will and perseverance always has an inflexible spirit. He sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. If we want to succeed finally in our career, we should hold to our goal.Where there is a will, there is a way. Success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts.。
