英语短文-Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world (and US is 16th!)
A new study produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer future than those born in Hong Kong, Ireland and even Canada.The EIU, a sister company of The Economist, attempted to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life in years to come.People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth, health and trust in public institutions, according to the analysis.The Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a 'quality-of-life' index highlighting where it is best to be born next year.In 1988, the US came top of a rank of 50 countries, though has not achieved the top spot since. The index links the results of subjective life-satisfaction surveys - how happy people say they are - to objective determinants of quality of life across countries.One of the most important factors is being rich, but other factors come into play - including crime, trust in public institutions and the health of family life.In total, the index takes into account 11 indicators.These include fixed factors such as geography, others that change slowly over time such as demography, social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy.The index also looks at income per head in 2030, which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood.Small economies dominate the top 10 countries, with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.Half of the top 10 countries are European, but only one, the Netherlands, is from the euro-zone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe, including Greece, Portugal and Spain, lags behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate.Interestingly, the largest European economies - Germany, France and Britain - do not do particularly well.Nigeria has the unenviable title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.。

U1中国书法(calligraphy)是一门独特的艺术、是世界上独一无二的艺术瑰宝。
中国书法艺术的形成，发展与汉文字的产生与演进存在着密不可分的关系。
汉字在漫长的演变发展过程中，一方面起着交流思想、继承文化的重要作用，另一方面它本身又形成了一种独特的艺术。
书法能够通过作品把书法家个人的生活感受、学识、修养、个性等折射出来，所以，通常有“字如其人”的说法。
中国书法不仅是中华民族的文化瑰宝，而且在世界文化艺术宝库中独放异彩。
Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers' personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that "seeing the calligrapher's handwriting is like seeing the person". As one of the treasures o Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world's treasure house of culture and art.U2近年来，随着互联网技术的发展，我国的数字化教育资源建设取得了巨大的成就。

Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called the place “Tomesha” — the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several ,well-marked roads ,where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising scenes, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures (雕像) stand on a frightening ground as evening shadows move and lengthen.41. _____ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Badwater42.

Switzerland is a landlocked(内陆的) nation. It hasn’t gone to war in over a century. And there is no such thing as the Swiss language.Switzerland is located among the highest mountains of Western Europe. The Aare River flows in the north and the Rhone River cuts through the south. Many beautiful lakes serve as tourist attractions.More than 6,300,000 people live in Switzerland. The national languages are German, French, and Italian. About 70% of the people speak German. Nearly everyone speaks at least two of the national languages. About 49% of the country is Roman Catholic, and 48% is Protestant. Zurich is the largest city with over 375,000 people. Bern, the capital, has a population of about 145,000. The city of Geneva is famous, and the Red Cross was founded there.The Swiss have a 99% literacy rate, which means that 99% of the people can read and write. Many children from other nations enroll in Swiss schools. The Swiss have a high standard of living. Foreign residents, who represent 20% of all workers, are willing to take the lower paying jobs that the Swiss do not apply for.The nation is a federation of 23 cantons. These states have a history of independence. Since 1848, they have joined to form a common government, but they still maintain their independent Character.46. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Life in the Swiss NavyB. The Cities of SwizzC. Facts about SwitzerlandD. Language of Switzerland47.

Switzerland is a federation of 23 states with a history of more than _____years.A. 100B. 120C. 170D. 70Passage 3If you think 3D printing is only good for making delicate paperweights (压纸器)，then you’re pretty much right. However, a group of Dutch architects have already begun 3D printing an entire canal house in Amsterdam. Is the first 3D-printed house a gimmick (噱头)? Definitely! Is it an experiment that pushes the possibilities for 3D printing technology and architecture? Maybe!3D Print Canal House is the brainchild of DUS Architects. “KamerMaker,” Dutch for “room maker”, is their giant printer built inside a shipping container. Just a few weeks ago, KamerMaker began printing plastic furniture and walls at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam. Smaller versions of the unusual honeycomb (蜂巢) walls have been tested on normal desktop printers, and everyone just needed to scale it up (按比例放大). Well, if only it were that easy.“The printer did not always manage to spread the plastic evenly (均匀地), making some of the ribs of the honeycomb structure of the block uneven,” reported ARN (Australia Radio Network) to the surprise of no one who has used a 3D printer. But the architects remain optimistic. The first few printed blocks are meant to be tested pieces as they improve the process.It takes about a week to print a 3-meter high block right now. The project’s leaders hope to eventually get that down to two hours and finish the first of 12 rooms in a year, and the entire house in less than 3 years.Finally, 3D Print Canal House is an architectural research project, one that is very much being conducted in the public eyes. You can actually buy tickets to visit the construction site for 2.50 euros.The top floors will become more decorated, for example, as newer techniques areincorporated.

It was used to move a herd of cows from a field to a dairy.Researchers were amazed at how easily cows accepted the presence of the robot. They were not disturbed by it and the gathering process was calm and effective. Because the robot moved in a steady manner, it allowed cows to move at their own speed, which was important in reducing injuries among cattle, said Dr Kendra Kerrisk, dairy researcher and associate professor.The robot was adapted from one that was already being used to monitor fruit and trees on farms. A team at Sydney University’s Centre for Field Robotics improved the robot so that it could be put in a field with cows in order for the researchers to gather data on robot-cow interaction.The robot needs to be operated by a human now but it’s hoped that in the future a version can be developed that will be fully automated. As well as gathering cows, a new version could also collect information useful for farmers.Using robots to get cows to the dairy will be better for their well-being. “The research is in its very early stages but robotic technologies certainly have the potential to transform dairy farming,” said Dr. Kerrisk. “When we have discussed this concept with farmers they have been extremely excited and we have had a series of calls and emails asking how they can get hold of one.” she added.The robot could also cut down the number of accidents involving humans on farms. Most dairy farmers in Australia use bikes to round up their cattle and they are one of the leading causes of injury. The team hopes that by using the robot to do the job instead, accident rates could fall.56. The robot Rover was mainly used to_____.A. milk the cows on the fieldB. feed the cows with foodC. round up cows on dairy farmsD. take farmers around the farm57. Why did the cows accept the robot easily?A. Because it was calm and kind.B. Because it didn’t hurt the cattle.C. Because it moved at a steady pace.D. Because it allowed cows to walk at a slow speed.58. At present, the robot Rover _____.A. has to be operated by a humanB. has been available in the marketC. can help researchers to gather dataD. can go around the farm automatically59. What can we learn from Dr. Kerrisk’s words in the fifth paragraph?A. Dairy farming has much potential.B. The research will soon be finished.C. The robot will be popular among farmers.C. Robotic technology has highly developed.60. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Using robots on farms can reduce injuries.B. Dairy farming in Australia needs transforming.C. A team at Sydney University developed a robot.D. Robot used to gather cows together is a hit with farmers.Passage 5For many people, having your own business sounds like the perfect job. You can do work that you love. You can set your own business schedule and wear jeans to work. You never have to listen to a boss, and you make all the decisions yourself. You can even raise your salary any time you want.But the reality is different. “Having your own business can be lonely,” says David Paik. After working for an advertising agency for six years, he started a website design business at home. His first income in the first two months was $0. Finally, he got a big project creating a website for a magazine. Then he had a new problem: his schedule. “I was working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, because I didn’t have employees to help me.” Today, Paik Web Design is successful, but David says, “I really wasn’t prepared to be a business owner. I didn’t understand the challenges.”Some of the challenges are practical. With no boss, it’s easy to take too much time off and get too little work done. With no co-workers, you might feel bored or lonely. You have to pay for your own benefits like vacations, insurance, and a retirement plan. And if you make a bad business decision, you could lose all the money you invested. For all of the reasons, more than half of all new businesses fail within one year.Another problem is balancing work with personal life. As a business owner, you can’t just stop at 5 p.m. and forget about your work until tomorrow. “Even when I’m watching TV in the evening, I’m always thinking about my clients and my projects,” says David Paik.Still, hundreds of people around the world start business every day, and most enjoy the experience. “There are lots of advantages to having your own business,” says Denise Williams, the owner of a women’s clothing store. “You can decide exactly how to do your work, how much money you want to make, and who will work for you.” Williams borrowed money from family members to get her business started. She began by making and selling T-shirts in her apartment, and she has just opened a new, large store.Laura Castro, owner of a translation service, agrees. “When you are your own boss, there areno limits. I started five years ago, translating Spanish and English. Now I have employees who work with six different languages. And five years from now? I can’t imagine!” she smiles.61. According to David Paik, being your own boss is _____.A. enjoyableB. perfectC. challengingD. easy62. One of the advantages of being a business owner is _____.A. making your own decisionsB. being free most of timeC. working at homeD. having employees to help63. In the sentence “Some of the challenges are practical” “practical” means _____.A. difficultB. clearC. complicatedD. realistic64. According to the passage, more than 50% of all the new business fail within one year because of _____.A. no workplacesB. no employeesC. bad decisions makingD. no enough money65. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. You can get higher salaries if you are your own boss.B. Life can be hard if you run your own business.C. There is no advantages of being a business owner.D. All who run their own business enjoy their experience.四、翻译判断正误（判断题：本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）66.

学习的本质和真谛英语作文
学习的本质和真谛英语作文英文回答：The true essence of learning lies beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge; it encapsulates a transformative process that empowers individuals to evolve both intellectually and personally. Learning is not simply about accumulating facts or mastering certain skills; it is about cultivating critical thinking, expanding perspectives, and igniting a lifelong thirst for knowledge.True learning involves an active engagement with the world around us. It requires a willingness to question assumptions, explore diverse viewpoints, and challenge established norms. Through this process, we not only enhance our understanding of specific subjects but also develop a broader, more nuanced comprehension of the complexities of human existence.Learning should not be confined to the classroom or thepages of books; it should permeate every aspect of our lives. True learners are perpetually curious, seeking knowledge and insights from their interactions with the natural world, cultural experiences, and personal encounters. They embrace diverse perspectives, recognizing that every individual possesses unique knowledge and experiences that can enrich their own understanding.The ultimate purpose of learning is not to pass exams or attain certain credentials but to cultivate a mindset that values continuous growth and intellectual exploration. True learners are lifelong learners, recognizing that the pursuit of knowledge is an ongoing journey that extends beyond formal education.Furthermore, learning is deeply intertwined with personal transformation. As we acquire new knowledge and perspectives, we often experience shifts in our beliefs, values, and attitudes. Learning can challenge our preconceptions, foster empathy, and inspire us to become more compassionate and understanding individuals.In essence, the true essence of learning lies in its transformative power. It is a journey that empowers us to expand our horizons, deepen our understanding of the world, and become more fully realized individuals. It is not about memorizing facts or accumulating degrees but aboutcultivating a lifelong passion for learning and a commitment to personal growth.中文回答：学习的本质和真谛远远超出了知识的单纯获取，它概括了一个变革性的过程，使个人在智力和个人方面都能得到进化。
向自然学习智慧英语作文
向自然学习智慧英语作文Title: Learning Wisdom from Nature。
In our quest for wisdom, we often overlook one of the greatest teachers available to us: nature. The natural world is replete with lessons waiting to be learned, and by observing and immersing ourselves in it, we can gain insights that are both profound and timeless.First and foremost, nature teaches us the value of resilience and adaptation. Consider the mighty oak tree, which bends and sways with the wind but rarely breaks. It has adapted to its environment over millennia, developing a sturdy trunk and deep roots that anchor it firmly in the earth. Similarly, in our own lives, we encounter storms and challenges that threaten to uproot us. Yet, by emulating the oak tree's resilience and flexibility, we can weather the toughest of times and emerge stronger than before.Furthermore, nature instills in us a sense ofinterconnectedness and interdependence. Ecosystems thrive on the delicate balance between different species, each playing a unique role in maintaining the health of the whole. From the smallest insect to the largest predator, every creature has its place in the intricate web of life. This reminds us that we are not separate from nature but rather integral parts of it. By nurturing our connections with others and with the environment, we foster harmony and sustainability.Moreover, nature teaches us the virtue of patience and gradual growth. Take, for example, the formation of a canyon. Over countless millennia, rivers carve their way through solid rock, slowly but steadily shaping the landscape around them. Similarly, our own personal growth and development often occur incrementally, requiring time, perseverance, and dedication. By embracing the natural pace of progress, we learn to appreciate the journey as much as the destination.In addition, nature demonstrates the beauty of simplicity and balance. Consider the elegant symmetry of aflower or the graceful curve of a wave. Nature's designs are inherently efficient and purposeful, eschewing unnecessary complexity. In our increasingly fast-paced and cluttered world, we can draw inspiration from nature's simplicity by simplifying our lives, focusing on what truly matters, and finding balance amidst chaos.Lastly, nature invites us to cultivate a sense of wonder and awe. Whether gazing at a star-filled sky or listening to the symphony of bird songs at dawn, we are reminded of the vastness and mystery of the universe. This sense of wonder humbles us, sparking curiosity and a desire to explore and understand the world around us. By embracing a childlike sense of wonder, we open ourselves to new experiences and perspectives, enriching our lives in ways we never thought possible.In conclusion, learning wisdom from nature is alifelong journey filled with discovery and growth. By observing and immersing ourselves in the natural world, we gain invaluable insights into resilience, interconnectedness, patience, simplicity, and wonder. As wenavigate the complexities of life, let us remember to heed the timeless lessons that nature so generously imparts. For in doing so, we not only enrich our own lives but also contribute to the greater harmony and balance of the world around us.。

虚心学习为荣的英语作文
In the journey of life,learning is an essential part of our growth and development.It is through learning that we acquire knowledge,skills,and wisdom,which in turn shape our character and guide our actions.Among the various virtues that one should cultivate, humility in learning stands out as particularly important.Humility in learning means recognizing that no matter how much we know,there is always more to learn.It is the understanding that we are all students in the grand school of life,and that the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong endeavor.This attitude fosters an open mind,which is crucial for embracing new ideas and perspectives.One of the key benefits of being humble in our learning is that it encourages us to listen to others.When we approach conversations and discussions with the mindset that we have something to gain,we are more likely to be receptive to different viewpoints.This can lead to a deeper understanding of complex issues and a more wellrounded education. Moreover,humility in learning promotes a growth mindset.When we acknowledge our limitations and embrace the challenges that come with learning,we are more likely to persevere in the face of difficulties.This resilience is a valuable trait that can help us overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.In addition,being humble in our learning can also foster a sense of curiosity.When we are not burdened by the need to appear knowledgeable or superior,we are free to explore new subjects and ideas without fear of judgment.This curiosity can lead to a more enriching and fulfilling learning experience.However,it is important to note that humility in learning does not mean that we should doubt our abilities or undervalue our achievements.Rather,it is about maintaining a balance between confidence in our skills and the recognition that there is always room for improvement.In conclusion,humility in learning is a virtue that can greatly enhance our educational experiences and personal growth.By approaching learning with an open mind,a willingness to listen,and a curiosity to explore,we can unlock new opportunities and gain a deeper understanding of the world around us.It is a lifelong journey that requires patience,persistence,and a genuine love for learning.。
