英语六级作文部分：
The Certificate Craze
1.现在许多人热衷于各类证书考试
2.其目的各不相同
3.我的看法
范文1：
Almost no one in China has failed to notice the phenomenon that a growing number of people are enthusiastic about pursuing various kinds of certificates. Taking a look around, one can find numerous examples with ease. A common case in point is that students spend a great deal of time and energy attending a great variety of certificate-oriented training courses to ensure a better score。

The purpose of acquiring certificates varies from individuals to individuals. For students, as the job market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, not only can a certain certificate prove their capabilities, but also will put them in a favorable position in the employment market and the development of their career. When it comes to white-collared workers, more job-related certificates often guarantee greater opportunities for a salary raise and promotion. What’s more, it is also a ideal way to enhance their job techniques
and sharpen their competitiveness。

From my perspective, the merits of pursuing certificates are self-evident. However, we should also bear in mind that it is the practical skills, such as management, cooperation, communication, rather than certificates that guarantee one’s accomplishment in career. Accordingly, we might as well attach great importance to both certificates and the improvement of one’s comprehensive abilities。

范文2：
There is no denying the fact that it has become a prevailing trend for people to take part in various exams with the purpose of obtaining certificates of many kinds: that for CET-4 or CET-6, that for computer level, the driver’s license, etc。

Of course people pursue certificates for various purposes. Some claim that owning these certificates can give them more edge in competition. One more certificate means a bit more chance of winning in the job market. Others, however, merely take this practice as a stimulus for them to study or study harder. They assert that, by working for those certificates, they can broaden their horizon and enrich their knowledge。

Personally, I believe that one should choose to learn what he or she truly likes or really needs, instead of merely working for some certificates. As for me, I shall focus my energy on a few fields, for I believe concentration of attention and energy is the key to success. Besides, keen interest is the strongest motivation for study. To be specific, I would like to
learn kungfu and Beijing Opera in my spare time. I may attend some relevant tests and be awarded certain certificates, but they are just a natural result of my study, instead of my motivation。

In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether it’s picking one of thirty-one ice cream (36)flavors, or deciding whether and when to get married. That sounds like a great thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us (37)confused, unhappy, even paralyzed with indecision. ‘That’s (38)particularly true when it comes to the work place’, says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human (39)behavior. Students are graduating with a (40)variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves (41)overwhelmed when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their (42)senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting (43)strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups：maximizers, who consider every possible option, and satisficers, who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might expect that the student (44)who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that’s not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers
ended up with better-paying jobs than satisficers on average, they weren’t as happy with their decision. The reason (45)why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, (46)a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career。

Organised volunteering and work experience has long been a vital companion to university degree courses. Usually it is left to 62 to deduce the potential from a list of extracurricular adventures on a graduate's resume, 63now the University of Bristol has launched an award to formalise the achievements of students who 64 time to activities outside their courses. Bristol PLuS aims to boost students in an increasingly 65 jobs market by helping
them acquire work and life skills alongside 66 qualifications。

"Our students are a pretty active bunch but we found that they didn't 67 appreciate the value of what they did 68 the lecture hall," says Jeff Goodman, director of careers and employability at the university. "Employers are much more 69 than they used to be. They used to look for 70 and saw it as part of their job to extract the value of an applicant's skills. Now they want students to be able to explain why those skills are 71 to the job." Students who sign 72for the award will be expected to complete 50 hours of work experience or 73 work, attend four workshops on employability skills, including interview techniques, take part in an intensive skills-related activity 74 , crucially, write a summary of the skills they have gained. 75 efforts will gain an Outstanding Achievement Award. Those who 76best on the sports field can take the Sporting PluS Award which fosters employer-friendly sports accomplishments。

The experience does not have to be 77organised. "We're not just interested in easily identifiable skills," says Goodman. " 78,one student took the lead in dealing with a difficult landlord and so 79 negotiation skills. We try to make the experience relevant to individual lives。

Goodman hopes the 80 will enable active students to fill in any gaps in their experience and encourage their less-proactive 81 to take up activities outside their academic area of work。

2011.12英语六级阅读:禁止在车内吸烟
One of these days, drivers in the UK could be breaking the law if the government heeds advice from the British Medical Association, which suggests that the government ban people from smoking in their own vehicle.
But because cars are private spaces, these proposals are proving contentious. One non-smoker says:
"I have to ask her to open the window because I don't like it, as a non-smoker."
However, this woman does not believe the government should interfere.
>音频下载[点击右键另存为]
"I don't think the government has any right to stop people smoking in their cars. It's not affecting anybody else outside, you've got diesel busses, diesel cars that are making more pollution than me smoking in my car."
It's a sentiment shared by this man:
"It's my body, it's my decision, that's about it. That's all it comes down to."
Children are believed to be at the highest risk in these circumstances.
In an experiment, a man is smoking in his car to test levels of harmful toxins in the smoke. Dr James Cant, from the British Lung Foundation, explains the findings.
"What we started with before the cigarette was lit was a relatively normal level of about 12, when we get beyond 35 it starts to get dangerous to human health. What we saw when the cigarette was lit was within a few seconds was the meter readings actually shot up into the hundreds and stayed there for some time after the cigarette was extinguished."
The document also says the elderly are vulnerable to respiratory problems caused by passive smoking.
Dr Vivienne Nathanson, the BMA's director of professional activities, says smoking causes over 80,000 deaths every year in England.
Last week Northern Ireland's Health Minister Edwin Poots said he is considering a ban on smoking in cars. And a private member's bill in the UK is calling for a ban.
But any legislation will be bitterly opposed by the smokers' rights group Forest.
Simon Clark of Forest says:
"You might have a single lone adult behind the wheel choose to light a cigarette and suddenly he's committing an offence. The police will be expected to pull him over, fine him, if he doesn't pay the fine he could end up in jail for heaven's sake. It's utterly ridiculous. A car is a private space."
If the bill get passed, smokers in the UK could soon be puffing on their last cigarette in their own car, if doctors get their way.
