He was crouching on the ground with deformed hands and legs, mumbling something. He had obviously lost the normal ability to move and work. A dirty plate was placed in front the miserable-looking man, in which there were some coins and small notes.As my eyes were drifting away from him, his eyes caught mine suddenly. What eyes they were! Filled with misery and expectation, they were looking straight at me. He was unable to speak, but I seemed to hearhis pleading voice and read his despairing mind. His look seemed to be telling me about his hard life and his longing for help. For a while, I was at a loss what to do. Should I drop some coins in the plate like some other passers-by or turn away in indifference? I recalled news reports about men pretending to be beggars, who were actually healthy and able to work. Could this be another one of those scams? But the beggar was there, groaning and living. Then something seemed to hit me hard. I drew a five-yuan note from my pocket, droppedit in his dirty plate and walked away quickly in silence.“No good deed is too small.” Maybe we need to bear this saying in mind.▆Sample Essay for Task 2:We are living in a world of distrust.

Passage A
• Think Abou About It
• Write About It
1. What kind of people are in favor of carrying on with the cloning science?
And it’s not just Antinori and his team who are eager to go. A religious group called the Raelians believes cloning is the key to achieving immortality, and it, too, claims to have the necessary egg donors and volunteers willing to be implanted with cloned embryos. So what about tougher laws? Implanting cloned human embryos is already illegal in many countries but it will never be prohibited everywhere. In any case, the prohibition of cloning is more likely to drive it underground than stamp it out. Secrecy is already a problem. Antinori and his team are refusing to name the country they’ll be using as their base. Like it or not, the research is going ahead. Sooner or later we are going to have to decide whether regulation is safer than prohibition.

新世纪大学英语综合教程2作文答案
新世纪大学英语综合教程2作文答案作文答案Unit 1 p27 1) In my middle school years, I had a best friend. We talked about everything. And we loved singing songs together. Once, however, there was a bitter quarrel between us and we stopped talking to each other. It was obvious that both of us wanted to keep the friendship, but neither had the courage to break the ice. It went on like this for months. Then one day we were asked to write about friendship. I wrote in my composition what friendship meant to me and the misunderstanding that had separated us. It was given the top mark, and I was asked to read it in class. When I ended my my presentation presentation presentation with with with the the the words words words from from from our our our favourite favourite favourite song, song, song, my my my friend friend friend was was was singing singing singing along. along. along. All All All misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding was was cleared and once again we were best friends. To break down the walls between people is easy; all it takes is a littl forgiveness! (150 words) 2) We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold security bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go ou of our way to help them; we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of insecurity fill the environmen we live in. All this greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated and care about about ourselves ourselves ourselves only. only. only. If If If things things things go go go on on on like like like this, this, this, “trust”, “trust”, “trust”, “teamwork”, “teamwork”, “teamwork”, and and and “harmony” “harmony” “harmony” will will will eventually eventually eventually become become become terms terms unheard of. In my opinion, trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human relationships. We may not be in a position to change others, but we can change the way others see us by winning their trust in us. Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society. (151 words) </font> Unit 2 p59 1) Today, many college students are from single-child families. Growing up in such environments, they tend to take for for granted granted granted what what what they they they have. have. have. Some Some Some even even even develop develop develop bad bad bad habits habits habits and and and character character character flaws flaws flaws such such such as as as self-will, self-will, self-will, lack lack lack of of responsibility and selfishness. In my opinion, taking a listless attitude toward life is extremely harmful to them. With such a negative attitude, they fail to appreciate the advantages they enjoy. They waste away their precious time, seeking pleasure in running after pop stars or indulging in computer games. In the end, they may have to leave college without having acquired any useful skills or knowledge. Sometimes I think it is good for us to think more of the young people who are still struggling for their lives and education. Such an attitude would certainly impel us to cherish more our college life. And life would be more meaningful if we treat it with a gentleness, a vigor and keenness of appreciation. (155 words) 2) Being admitted to college was an important turning point in my life. I would never have been able to make it without the help and support of my parents, teachers and classmates. Throughout the time I was preparing for the entrance examination my parents were always there to back me up. They allowed me to make my own decisions about which major I wanted to pursue. What’s more, they had full confi dence in me. I was lucky enough to have had fine teachers and kind classmates. My teachers were patient and competent to explain the problems I did not understand; my classmates helped me and encouraged me all the time. We shared our hopes and anxieties together. That was a memorable time in my life! I didn’t achieve everything alone. I owe a lot to those who have helped me to get where I am. （147 words ）Unit 3 p94 1) Li Hui, my friend in high school, was born into a worker's family. She began to dream of becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood. To her disappointment, her parents strongly opposed her career choice, because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family, and they were worried about the job opportunities for a cartoon artist. However, Li Hui would not change her mind. She worked hard to perfect her skills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream. Just before she finished high school, the chance came: a famous art school was holding a cartoon drawing competition. The first three winners would be given a scholarship to study cartoon drawing at the school. Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through her fingers. She readily participated and won the second place. She is now studying there and I feel certain that her dream will come true.

I've just read an article about how pessimistic and optimistic thoughts can affect our behaviour and I'm now sending you a copy, hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows.• Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell on the past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what more more important important important for for for now now now and and and the the the future. future. future.

You will make it. • Y ours,• Janet • (152 words) 2) Thinking positively means allowing your mind to be filled with optimistic feelings, and always hoping for the best though still aware of the difficulties that might be involved. The human mind is powerful; thoughts of optimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Though it mightseem impossible to some, positive thinking and success actually have a cause-and-result relationship. The reason is that a person with positive thinking will always broadcast goodwill and confidence and that kind of radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody. Gradually, people’s attitude will will shift shift shift towards towards towards more trust and respect. This not only opens up more opportunities for the individual, but it more trust and respect.

A person can try visualizing favourable situations, whether it is remembering a contest won as a child or imagining getting that job offer so long sought after. Over time circumstances will change accordingly. （169 words ）Test1 p128 My View on Opportunity Different people have different views on opportunity. Some hold that there are not enough opportunities because there are far too many people. Yet others believe that there are opportunities everywhere.

However, history has proven over and over again that the morally defective cannot be truly successful, even if they at times enjoy some temporary glory. A typical example is found in the story of four brilliant Cambridge students. They were all talented and eventually worked their way up to very important positions in the British government, with one even ending up working in Buckingham Palace.

This This This is is is clearly clearly clearly reflected reflected reflected in in in our our reaction to advertisements. Instead of seeing advertisements as a source of reliable information, we tend to doubt the truth they claim and always assume that the producers are trying to trick customers into buying their products. One of the most serious consequences of such absence of mutual trust is the constant doubt and anxiety within our own minds. If we see everyone else as a potential enemy, we can no longer make new friends; if we regard all information passed on to us as lies, how can we make use of such sources effectively? Mutual trust is the glue that holds human society together. As students, we should try to foster mutual trust and help build up a moral society by our own deeds. If we are honest to others and foster mutual trust, we shall soon see the difference. (158 words) Unit6 p209 1) A Creative Person My physics professor is a very creative person.

But above all, my professor has a sincere interest and a strong passion in his research field. No wonder he is highly respected by both his colleagues and his students.

(166 words)Test2 p272 In our society there are some people who employ dishonest means to get what they want. To make more profits, some businessmen sell fake products. To get better scores, some students cheat in exams. But dishonesty does not pay in the long run. Those who sell fake products end up losing customers. Students who practice cheating in exams are cheating themselves. By contrast, honest people gain a clear conscience and also win the trust and respect of others. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a better job. After all, who would want a dishonest employee? B sticking to the principle of honesty, we can help make the world a better place to live in. Honesty is the best policy and it really pays to be honest. (135 words) 。
