研研究生英语读写佳境作文
第一篇:Leading Children in the Right DirectionChildren in China are now leading a pretty good life. They have quite good social environment as well as the care from their parents. Compared to the past generations, children are enjoying high lever of civilizations of human beings.Nowadays children can learn a lot in the modern information world, through which books, teachers, Internet make a huge contribution to their growing. They can acquire information from advanced technology to the latest fashion styles. Therefore, those tools may also have bad effects on students. Most children are fond of televisions very much, for the simple reason that they find it funny. However, not all the media are good for children. Some teenagers are too young to tell good from bad. Take advertisements for example, some of which contain valences, obesity, horrible and so on. These things are extremely harmful to children’s life.So the problem comes to what we should do to guide and educate our children correctly. First of all, parents should help their children to set up a short and long term career ideals. They should educate them in a right way, which they teach them to build up active attitudes towards life, and correct values of the future life. Our society should care children, giving more attention to them.第二篇Health, Wealth and HappinessIt is often related that the relationship between health, wealth and happiness. It is difficult to give a standard answer, for different people may have different opinions about it. But they do have some relate to each other. Some people consider health originally as wealth, which is the biggest poverty of human beings. As a result, they think they are leading a happy life.While some people who own a large number of money think they have great happiness, for the simple reason that they can buy what they want to buy. They are happy just because they are rich.And those who are neither rich nor healthy can also have happiness. On the other hand, healthy people that have great poverty may feel unhappy. It is really difficult to tell what makes the happiness.As far as I am concerned, happiness is an attitude towards life. It mostly depends on your mood whether you are rich or not, healthy or not. So I guess to say if people can keep an active attitude towards life, they will be much happier.第三篇Which is better, working in a Multinational or as a Civil Servant?Nowadays people have a lot of choices to choose a job. It is often argued that whether to working in a multinational or as a civil servant.Working in a multinational company is getting popular. A great number of people are often willing to work as white collar workers, for they are often wear white collars and tie to go to work. The companies are usually well known for their great benefits, as well as the high salary. However, working in a multinational company isquite challenging, although people may have more opportunities, yet they will undertake great responsibilities and risks. Sometimes they will be pretty busy with their untold work with furious competitionsWhile working as a civil servant seems to be attractive to many people. The most important about it is the job’s stability. People do not have to woke busily, but they can get a good salary, too. To some extent, it is comfortable. At the same time, people can be more free to do what they want to do. The shortcoming of this kind of job is that perhaps people will feel tired of the dull routine of everyday life. It has little challenges to them, either. No doubt it is not good enough for those who are ambitious.In my opinion, my ideal job is to choose to work in a multinational company. I guess I want to be challenged, and try my best to build up a bright future.第四篇Shopping over the Internet or in StoresAt present, in an era of high-speed development of computer technology, shopping online becomes increasingly easy and popular with consumers.People who would like to shop online have their own reasons. Firstly, purchasing through a click proves to be convenient alternative to walking or driving to the stores. Secondly, prices are dropping and more chances offer people varieties of goods. However, some people prefer shopping in stores, especially large department stores, in which they could see and touch things with sense of reality and credibility. For them, walking along stacks of goods is a time of relaxation. With the development of our society, the general public seems to have worries about the “web criminal”.I favor shopping in department stores over online. I am not fully trust in the quality of these products sold over the Internet, unless an improved management mechanism can be established. Shopping in stores, also, is irreplaceable that not everything can be bought from the web, such as luxury goods.第五篇On Overseas StudyRecent years, more and more Chinese people have chosen to study abroad. There are merits and demerits to this tendency.With the deepening of reform and opening-up of our country, it’s easier for us to get access to foreign schools. We can grasp advanced technologies and their language ability can be improved as well. What’s more, with the rapid development of China, more and more overseas learners will come back, using their abundant knowledge to serve for our motherland. However, there are still many people who favor studying at home. They argue that, for one thing, studying abroad is too expensive and therefore doesn’t pay off. For another, there are no language and cultural barriers if they study at home.In my opinion, studying abroad is good for us to broaden our horizons, learn how to adapt the society better, which helps us lay a perfect foundation for their future development.第六篇The Art of Establishing Harmonious Relationship between peopleAs we all know, since ancient times, people can’t live without each other. To make a better atmosphere in the society, it is necessary for us to get on well with each other.There are many ways of establishing harmonious relationship between people. A smile can always shorten the distance from others. For example, a smile can fight the unhappy situation of friends. I always believe it’s the most beautiful language in the world. What’s more, with the development of commodity, more trust should be built between people. As a result, a harmonious society will be established with trust and happiness.From my point if view, there should be more opportunities for people to communicate, such as a conversation in a family, a small meeting among friend……Thus making a wonderful world for us to understand each other.第七篇My Ideal JobWith the development of the economy and the education, more and more people are high educated, and that directly leads to the fierce competition in finding a job. So nowadays it is more and more difficult to find a job, especially a job that you like to do.For me, if it is possible, I think my ideal job is to be a teacher.First of all, a teacher’s job is very important because a teacher provides students with knowledge. And meanwhile I can also learn a lot from my students. It’s a happy thing to share knowledge with others. Second, to be a teacher may enable me to feel always young to be with young people all the time. That will be a great pleasure. The job will allow me a lot of freedom to choose my way of teaching. I like to make students both learned and creative. I will be satisfied with the progress my students make everyday, and I’ll be proud of them. In addition, I can develop my hobbies in my spare time. And I really enjoy the summer vacation and winter vacation during which I will go sightseeing.So if I can have a chance to be a teacher, I will try my best to be a good teacher.第八篇Travel Broadens the Mind’sNowadays travel has become part of our life, it is so exciting to visiting different places. And besides beautiful scenery we can see from traveling, I think travel broadens our minds.Traveling is a good way to meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. We can taste and buy specialties of different places. In this way, we can get to know the customs, living habits and lifestyles of local people.Traveling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing. Furthermore, if you are acareful observer, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology and history of the places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through traveling. The knowledge acquired from travel, as you will have found later in your life, is no less valuable than that from any influential reference book.So travel broadens our minds, we can learn much from traveling.第九篇What Makes Life WorthwhileWhat makes life worthwhile? Different people may have different answers to this question. Some people may think that money and power is the most important for one’s life. Others may regard devotion and success as essential part of their lifes. As far as I’m concerned I agree with the latter instead of the former.There goes an proverb”No pains, no gains”, means that you have to make great efforts if you want to achieve some success. In our country as well as all over the world, there are many scientists who spend much of their time and energy doing research work. Though they don’t necessarily earn much money, yet they are very happy when they succeed, because they have done something meaningful and have contributed, in a degree, to human beings.I believe, one’s value lies in the value of serving the people, the country and the whole society. People who make contributions, no matter big or small, should be recognized and respected. The point is what you can do, but not how people look on you. It is how much you contribute, not how much you gain. I think this is the true meaning of life that everyone of us should have.第十篇Challenges and SuccessesWith the development of our society, things have changed a lot. Nowadays, it is admitted that challenges are a fact of life. People are challenged from time to time. However, different people may take different attitudes towards challenges.On one hand, many of the people regard challenges as opportunities, therefore they try their best to deal with them. In which they gain much experience as well as training. On the other hand, some people are afraid of challenges, because they are too lazy to make any efforts. They just want to stay where they are.Success doesn’t come easy. But challenges can breed success, through which you can seize many chances and enhance your personal ability. This may be helpful to your future life sooner or later.第十一篇My Ideal JobDifferent people may have different ideal jobs, which has a close relate to their interest, personal character, sex, age and so on. Even for the same person, he probably has different ideal jobs at different period of his life. My ideal job is to be a English teacher in a university. As we know, interest is the best teacher. Above all , I quite like English, and do well in it. Also I am kind and patient, in particularly, I love teaching students, whosecharacters are pretty suitable to be a teacherHowever, it requires more and more for us to be a university teacher. To achieve my goal, I have to first go on the master degree and then better to obtain the doctorate’s degree. Therefore , it remains a long way for me to go.第十二篇PressureNowadays, it seems great pressures put on the modern men. Everyone is undertaking pressures form all around our life. For those students, they have to study well; adults have to keep on working to support their family; house women have to look after children.Therefore, pressure does exert a peculiar influence on human beings. If people can treat it in a right way, perhaps pressure will change to motivates, which are helpful to the thing is operating. However, in the case that people cannot undertake the pressure and don not know how to release themselves, they will suffer a lot from the pressure, both physical and mentally.Above all, it is important for people to take proper attitudes towards pressure, as well as how to deal with pressure and release themselves. A good attitude may help people to lead a happier life,第十三篇Young people in China today are more self-centered and unsympathetic than were previous generationsIn recent years, more and more people in China complain that people are indifferent to others. Some even worry that the indifferent young generation might ruin the future of China. To be sure, some people cannot see eye to eye with this view. But, I myself would like to content that we young people today are in general more self-centered and unsympathetic than our previous generations.For example, most young people choose to attend exclusively to their own needs. In their eyes, it is all too natural to seek satisfaction from what they do, even if it may mean inconvenience to others. Take my dormitory for example. It is a common scene here that a roommate cheerfully talks to his girlfriend on the phone at midnight when others are struggling for a sound sleep. One may complain now and then, but in vain. Life is a joy to them, yet they often enjoy it to the neglect of others’ feelings.For the above reasons, I hold the view that young people in today’s China are more self-centered and unsympathetic than were our previous generations. It is high time that we learned from older generations so that a harmonious and splendid future can be anticipated.。

研究生英语读写佳境Test Writingp.3021.Leading Children in the Right Direction范文:In China, both of the parents have their jobs. With the development of economy, people tend to pursue high quality living conditions. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. In my point of view, no matter how busy they are, they should make the best use of their time to stay with their children.First, the love between children and adults will be improved by spending more time on their children. Children could feel parents' affection through the genial conversation and sharing their pleasure with them. Every time when parents take them to amusement park, help them to prepare their birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.Second, children need the direction from their parents. There are some wrong behaviors in our society such as dishonesty, corruption, violence and eroticism and so on. Children have weak resistance in defending this detrimental influence. In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth. Parents should sit down and talk with them about what they should do and should not do. In addition, if parents often spend time in staying with their children, adults' good behaviors will greatly influence their children.Here I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time on children. Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests. Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy works.I agree that it is good to educate children according to their own traits, for example, some children who have special talent, lead a live that is so different from ordinary people, partly because of the individualized teaching methods. At the same time, we also know there are some abnormal persons, who need to be educated specially and with more efforts, compared to others. Just take the famous writer Helen Keller for example, it is the individualized education that help the little blind girl to gain success.范文: From very young, we have always hoped to be educated specially, and do not like to be treated the same as others. We also admire successful people, believing they must have received education different from ordinary people and they must be lucky enough to own enlightened parents and teachers. Sometimes we also disliked the general patterns of education we received in the school.However, most of us are ordinary people. For us, the purpose of education is more than just paying attention to individual needs and interests. My opinions are as follows.First of all, for ordinary ones, talent ones and abnormal persons, we are people living in a certain society and it is important for us to learn how to survive harmoniously with others. Every individual should know how to obey laws, follow certain moral standards, accept some models of thoughts, and acquire communication skills. It is the education which helps us to gain these above.Second, education aims to help one to develop fully and properly.This should be done firstly according to his/her own traits and abilities. We should show the children to a right way but not only one definite way. If you wonder what on earth the way is, I think the answer will have close relationship with our social standards first, then comes the person’s own individual needs and interests.We must consider the two factors above when educating, but sill should integrate lots of other factors, such as the trend of the history, the fund supporting from families, school and even our government. Also, we should decide whether the children’s needs which are reasonable and practical.In sum, education should pay attention however not too much to the individual needs and interests of each student. The truly effective way is to integrate many different aspect of factors.2. Health ,Wealth and Happiness范文:1Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have much money or a large number of possessions, they will be happy. They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if they have money. Some students think that they should be in good health, and enjoy whatever they like. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can have everything. I don’t agree with the above points. We can’t buy many important things with money, such as health, happiness and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge. Although different people value happiness differently, my “wealth” of happiness is in my study.范文:2Well,nowadays we are living in a more materialistic society and consumer goods are desirable everywhere.Wealth is so great an apeal to people that they work hard to earn money, as it seem to make everything possible.I once heard of some old sayings about money such as "Money talks" and "No money, No honey". These proverbs gave me deep impressions when I was a little girl. At least it made me know about the importance of money.With time passing by , I begin to know money is not the only thing that matters in life. But in reality without money you cannot live a happy life,either. So for me "enough money " means I can afford the cost of my living and I can have extra money to support my hobbies.3.Working in a Multinational Company or as a Civil Servant?范文:Today, seeking a job in a large joint venture company is still one of the best choices for many university graduates. And yet, there is also a growing trend for graduating students to prepare for civil servant recruitment examinations to work for the government office.To be a white-collar in a multinational company or to be a civil servant, each has advantages and disadvantages of its own.①First, a job with the former means high pay but longer working hours.They have to weigh the loneliness of being away from home against the opportunity to make new friends.②Second, one might be able to develop his or her abilities rapidly and fully in a high competitive environment, which of course also makes his or her jobs an extremely tiring and stressful one. However, in my hometown, sheltered by family influence and surrounded by good friends, one might never meet the challenge of developing his or her unknown potential.③Third, promotion in a multinational company is based largely on one’s merits and contributions, therefore one does not have to worry too much about strained relations, though it is by no means easy to get promoted in such companies.Despite all the advantages of being a white-collar, I have a strong desire to be a civil servant.①For one thing, it is a stable job and has little risk in work and life in general.②For another, the pay rises for civil servant has shown that working for the government is getting very desirable.③Most important of all, I enjoy working for people, for the general public. So instead of being my mother’s baby all my life, I’ll make parents feel proud of me.P.3171.Shopping over the Internet or in Stores范文:Have you experienced shopping by clicking the mouse without going outdoors? With the development of the Internet and the increase of net citizens, a new style of shopping is prevailing. More and more corporations provide shopping service over the Internet. The electronic commerce is moving toward prosperity.Some people prefer online shopping because of its convenience. Time and labor can be saved to do something else. And more discount merchandise can be easily found and bought over the Internet. But some people dislike it when they concern the quality of goods, the safety of payment and the after-sale service. Actually they fear being cheated. Purchasing goods in stores, they could check what they buy on the spot. And the invoice could ensure the after service.I like both of them. I have been buying books on Bertelsmann website for many years. As one of its members, I enjoy its regular promotions and free delivery. I pay for my orders in cash or by credit card through the Internet banking. But when it comes to goods such as costume, cosmetics and home appliances, I'd like to purchase them in stores. They are more expensive than books. And quality and safety should be concerned firstly. You see, the style of shopping depends on what you are to buy.2.On Overseas Study范文:In recent years, studying abroad has flourished. Thousands of scholars and students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are sparing no effort in applying for going abroad.Attending schools abroad has many advantages. In the first place, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between peoples of different cultures so as to promote international understanding. Secondly, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from the foreign countries. Thirdly, we can enjoy the contact with new and different cultures so as to increase the awareness of our own culture. Fourthly, we can learn a foreign language more quickly.However, studying abroad may have disadvantages such as language barrier in the first few months or financial difficulties before getting a scholarship. In spite of these, the advantages greatly outweigh the disadvantages. It is advisable to attend schools abroadDifferent people have various ambitions. Some want to be engineers or doctors in the future. Some want to be scientists or businessmen. Still some wish to be teachers or lawers when they grow up in the days to come. Unlike other people, I prefer to be a farmer. However, it is not easy to be a farmer for Iwill be looked upon by others. Anyway,what I am trying to do is to make great contributions to agriculture. It is well known that farming is the basic of the country. Above all, farming is not only a challenge but also a good opportunity for the young. We can also make a big profit by growing vegetables and food in a scientific way. Besides we can apply what we have learned in school to farming. Thus our countryside will become more and more properous.I believe that any man with knowledge can do whatever they can so long as this job can meet his or her interest. All the working position can provide him with a good chance to become a talent.3.The Art of Establishing Harmonious Relationship between People范文:In daily life, people should not be self-centered, when they are together with other people, they’d better listen to others more not only act according to themselves’ opinion. Unconscious of an equal and open-hearted attitude toward others, people will not develop a cooperative mind in a group work. In present life , international communication is more and more popular, the spirit of cooperation is also important for international communication.Communication is very important for people and the society. Whenever people at work or play with friends they have to communicate with the others. Some people are very good at communicating with the others, but some people are not. In Communication, language is very important for people to have a harmonious relationship with each other. Usually ,a word, a sentence will make a person happy in a proper manner. Whoever knows how to communicate with people , it will be much easier to make friends. When someone does not know how to communicate with people, it is difficult to make friends. Sometimes, people will find it is hard to communicate with the foreigner. It is because they don't understand how to communicate with the foreigners. Communication is also a good way to improve people’s ability and their experience to communicate with each other. In our society, a harmonious relationship between people is very important for the development of career. It seems to be difficult to have harmonious relationship with people, but if everyone can treat others with kind and friendly attitude, our society will be a harmonious society. Sometimes, people living near don’t know each other. It reflects interpersonal relationships in our society today. In present life, many people live in apartments, they close their doors and seldom go out when they get home from outside. When they feel lonely, they will watch TV in their spare time. They have little communication with their neighbors, and become more and more indifferent. That is why more and more people feel lonely in our society and people becomes indifferent. So a harmonious interpersonal relationship is so important. People live closely should have communication more.Although interpersonal relationship seems complicated, it will be easy if people have an equal and open-hearted attitude toward other people. Everyone plays a role in our society, their social status is different, their dignity should be respected. People all have dignity, he or she should be confident in interpersonal communication. If people do not look down upon others, he or she will surely be respected by other people, and accepted by our society. Therefore, in interpersonal communication, confidence and respect are equally important. People should pay attention to what others want, and put themselves in other’s s hoes in interpersonal communication.Today, competition is everywhere in our society. People will have more chance if they obey the rules in the pursuit of success. The attitude is not only necessary for people’s success, but also important for the establ ishment of harmonious society. It is useful for everyone to know how to get along with other people and have harmonious interpersonal relationship in our society. To have harmonious interpersonal relationship, including self-confidence, respect other people and care about other people. Our society will be a harmonious community.P.3371.My ideal job范文:Every person has his own ideal job. Some people wish to be doctors, while others want to be teachers and so on. As far as I am concerned, I have been dreaming of being a guide for a long time. First, my major is the manage of tourism, so I want to get a job about tourism. Secondly, good guides are knowledgeable and amiable, meanwhile, they have wide vision. Finally, guide can constantly expand his knowledge and understand lots of customs about different cultures and countries.To achieve my dream of being a qualified guide, I have to make sufficient preparations. Fro one thing, I must learn my specialty well and travel at my spare time, just as the saying goe s: “Seeing is believing.” For another, Ishould enhance my eloquence so that I can express the allusion about the view clearly. What’s more important ,I should control my mood freely and treat every traveler kindly.Being a good guide is difficult, but I b elieve if I endeavor to do this things in all hands. I’ll be successful sooner or later.2.Travel Broadens the Minds范文:1Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. More and more people have enough money to travel abroad or at home. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. This situation is encouraging, for it not only broadens people's minds to the extend which may not be reached previously, but also relaxes the m physically, which help people work out mental problems more actively.One of my best friends is so exclusively engaged in his works that he did not even know what was happening out of his own discipline. What’s worse, his progress was nearly little. After accepting my advice, he travelled a few cities and towns. The experience gave him a good opportunity of learning. Today, he gets a bumper harvest in his knowledge——the longstanding dream of entering graduate school comes true.In conclusion, travel opens our mind because it enables us to know about the history and culture of a nation. In a way, going on travels is like reading books..范文:2Travel has many benefits to offer. It enriches our experiences and helps us know more about the world, aside from relaxing ourselves both physically and psychologically.To begin with, travel is one of the best ways to enrich our experiences. If we visit tourist attractions and historical or cultural relics at different places of our country or foreign lands, we will meet different people, enjoy exotic natural sceneries, have a taste of varied cultures and, in the long run, enrich our knowledge. Moreover, travel also helps to enlighten and broaden our minds, since it provides us with new perspectives through what we learn from other cultures. For example, it helps to reduce cultural prejudice after we have got a better understanding of civilizations that vary sharply from one another.Travel is gaining increasing popularity among us. We travel to relax ourselves, enrich our experiences and broaden our minds.范文:3Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. Many people are rich enough to afford a travel at home or abroad. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. The increasing popularity of travel is, among others, due to the following reason: travel broadens our minds to an extent which may not be reached previously.For example, if we travel to Africa, we will find a culture totally different from that of ours, and people who think and live in a way unimaginable for us before we set foot on the continent. And we will marvel at the natural wonders, historic miracles and cultural brilliances we find there. All these experiences help to broaden our minds. As a result, our misunderstanding about the continent, if any, will be weeded out, our perspective of seeing the world possibly changed, our mode of thinking altered and, above all, our mind broadened.Reading makes an erudite man; practicing a capable man; and traveling a broad-minded man.3.What Makes Life Worthwhile范文:What makes life worthwhile? Different people may have differen answers to this question. Some people may think that money and power is the most important for one’s life. Others may regard devotion and success as essential for their life. As for as I’m concerned I agree with the latter instead of the former.There goes an old saying:no pains,no gains. In our country as well as all over the world, there are many scientists who spent much of time and energy doing research work. Though they do not necessarily earn much money, they are very happy when they succeed, because they have done something meaningful and have contributed, in a degree, to human beings.Therefore,we may conclude that money or the like is useful ,while devotion and contribution is indispensable for our life.Only when we have worked hard and have done something beneficial to our career and to man-kind, can we feel our life really worthwhile.4.Love, and Then Be LovedIn recent years, more and more teachers complain that their students are indifferent to others. Some even worry that the young generation might ruin the future of China. To be sure, many of our young people cannot see eye to eye with this view. However, as a university student, I myself would like to content that we young people today are in general more self-centered and unsympathetic than our previous generations.To start with, most, if not all, young people choose to attend exclusively to their own needs. In their eyes, It is all too natural to seek satisfaction from what they do, even if it may mean inconvenience to others. Take my dormitory for example. It is a common scene here that a roommate cheerfully talks to his girlfriend on the phone at midnight when others are struggling for a sound sleep. One may complain now and then, but to no avail. In fact, the others, to the exclusion of me, live their dormitory life much in the same way. When I take a nap at noon, they often play cards. They have no regard for others. Life is a joy to them, yet they often enjoy it to the neglect of others’ feelings. In sharp contrast, our caring parents always pay heed to our needs and those of others. Whenever my father comes back home late in the night, he tiptoes In for fear that he might awake me.Moreover, our young people tend to be insensitive to others’ difficulty.When a classmate falls ill, few people offer to help, but regard it as none of their business. Some students in my class come from poor families. Yet, they are active mobile phone users, who may spend twice as much as what their parents earn from arduous labor. When asked why they behave so, they answer that their parents have the obligation to accommodate their expenses. Personally, I detest their answer, for I know my parents never thought that way when they were young. Being aware of their parents’ financial difficulty, they managed to save every penny they could.For the above reasons and those not mentioned here, I subscribe to the view that young people in today’s China are more self-centered and unsympathetic than were our previous generations. It is high time that we learned from older generations so that a harmonious and splendid future can be anticipated.P.354A.Challenges and Successes范文:1There are lots of challenges in variety field, and people are facing them every day. There not just physical challenges, but also mental, will challenges. If you like challenges there are many ways you can do, for example, risk your life to do some extremely hard sports, invent something to make life easier, and learn things as many as you can. Whatsoever, you do, you are enjoying life. People enjoy challenges may caused by curiosity, successful feeling, or glory. Today we still have a lot of challenges before us. Doctors are facing many diseases that still cause people death. Scientists are facing how to make life more convenient or to search other planets. Engineersalso have some problems to be solved such as how to make buildings stronger, healthier, and more convenient. Challenges just like goals; my challenge now is that study hard, and go to UNBC.范文:2For thousands of years, people have accepted challenges in different fields. There are not only physical challenges, but also social and intellectual challenges. Some people risk their lives in playing sports to see how well they can do. Others try to make and invent something to make life easier. They all enjoy challenges.Why do people enjoy these challenges? There are probably many reasons. One is curiosity. The other is the personal feeling of success, of achievement, and nowadays, for some people, it is a business.Today, we still have many challengers before us. Medical science faces the challenges of conquering many diseases which still attack human beings. Engineers and planners must build new cities, design and produce new kinds of transportation. Scientists must develop new forms of energy. In short, we live in an age of challenges.B.The Career I Pursue范文:In China young people usually want to be engineers, doctors, businessmen, etc. and few want to be teachers. Unlike most young people I decide to be a teacher. There are many reasons for my personal preference but generally they come down to three major ones.First, I was born in a teacher's family and so I was greatly influenced by my father. Second, I find that education is important because it is the basis of science and technology and if a country's education is backward, its science and technology will never be advanced. Third, teachers are needed in our country, especially in the countryside.However, it is not easy to be a qualified teacher. A qualified teacher must have a good command of his specialty. Besides, he should be responsible and devoted to the educational cause. Most important of all, he should be patriotic. To be a qualified teacher in the future I must lose no time to acquire as much knowledge as possible. 'Furthermore I must know the history of our country so as to cultivate patriotism.C.How should college students face to the pressure?范文:In recent years, the pressure of job-seeking for college students becomes bigger and bigger because the distributions of them have changed a lot. That directly causes study pressure more great.How to release the pressure and get used to the circumstance?1) Believe yourself; self-confidence is the first important factor for u.2) Communicate with others such as your parents, classmates, friends etc; take an active part in the public activities.3) Keep exercises and keep fit. Only both of the mental and physical health can lead you to success.4) Refer to the mental consulters, they will help u to recognize the world correctlyPs: you can extend the four points on your opinion!。

研究生英语读写佳境课文译文及答案(Units1-8)
研究生英语读写佳境课文译文及答案(Units1-8)第一篇:研究生英语读写佳境课文译文及答案(Units 1-8)第一单元有安吉尔瀑布和德弗尔峡谷的Canaima生态之旅我把包扔进后座,来到旅客一排座位,滑进前面的座位。
一会儿车轮转动,我们去Canaima国家公园的旅行开始了。
我们爬到大约5000英尺的巡航高度,在这个高度之上,丛林像巨大的绿色地毯,除了红河像蛇一样蜿蜒前行。
我们的飞行员沿邱伦河河道往前飞行,当它接近平顶山边缘时,飞机沿着世界上最长的瀑布—-强劲的安吉尔瀑布的流轨猛地往下俯冲,正如安吉尔瀑布坠入德弗尔峡谷一样。
半个小时后,我们的飞机降落在泥泞的跑道上,路边有6个泥土垒成的小屋构成了一个当地Pemon印第安族人的村落。
随着旅行继续下去,我对旅客的稀少感到惊讶,任何地方都没有比德弗尔峡谷更让人惊讶的了。
该峡谷是一个位于高度为3,200英尺(大约975米)的安吉尔瀑布底部的有利于欣赏瀑布主要地方。
这是我所见过的最令人敬畏的景观之一,但几乎同样令人难以置信的是我们竟是那里唯一的一批游客。
为什么会这样呢?毕竟,即使阴天在尼亚加拉瀑布景点你也只能在拥挤的人群中勉强移动脚步。
Canaima路途遥远是一个原因,没有道路直达那里,因此你必须从离委内瑞拉首都加拉加斯一小时路程的奥尔达斯港包机到达。
航班有限,票价昂贵。
另一个原因是到直到最近委内瑞拉政府才开发了Canaima和安吉尔瀑布的旅游项目。
来这里的少数游客大部分直接飞往Canaima村,从村庄到瀑布是最便捷的路线,但路上还需要乘船3小时并经过相当有挑战性的两小时徒步旅行。
组织安吉尔瀑布生态游的导游采取了非常有趣的方式,因为他们更强调森林公园以及生息于此的人们而非安吉尔瀑布本身。
他们营造出一种让我感到真正独一无二的体验。
在很大程度上这是因为我们和Pemon印第安人有亲密接触,安吉尔瀑布生态之旅带来的收益占了Pemon印第安人收入的5%。
我以前曾在土著村庄住过几次,我深刻地认识到游客们之所以受到欢迎是因为他们为当地村庄相当可观的旅游收入。
新探索研究生英语(提高级)读写教程u2
新探索研究生英语(提高级)读写教程u2Here is an essay on the topic of "New Exploration of Graduate-Level English (Advanced) Reading and Writing Curriculum" with a word count of over 1000 words, written in English without any additional titles or punctuation marks.The pursuit of knowledge and the continuous expansion of one's intellectual horizons are the foundations upon which the academic journey is built. As students progress through the educational system, the demands placed upon their linguistic and analytical capabilities become increasingly complex and multifaceted. This is particularly true for those embarking on the path of graduate-level studies, where the acquisition and application of advanced English proficiency becomes a crucial determinant of success.The graduate-level English (advanced) reading and writing curriculum presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for students. At this stage, the focus shifts from the foundational language skills developed during undergraduate studies to a more nuanced and specialized approach to the English language. The curriculum must not only address the need for enhanced reading comprehension and writing proficiency but also cultivate the criticalthinking and research skills necessary for thriving in the rigorous academic environment.One of the primary objectives of the graduate-level English (advanced) curriculum is to equip students with the ability to engage with complex academic texts, both in terms of content and linguistic complexity. This involves developing strategies for efficient and effective reading, such as the ability to identify key ideas, analyze underlying arguments, and synthesize information from multiple sources. Additionally, students must learn to navigate the various genres of academic writing, including research papers, literature reviews, and scholarly articles, each with its own conventions and stylistic requirements.The curriculum must also place a strong emphasis on the development of advanced writing skills. At the graduate level, students are expected to produce well-structured, cohesive, and persuasive written work that demonstrates a deep understanding of the subject matter and a mastery of academic discourse. This entails not only the refinement of grammar, syntax, and vocabulary but also the cultivation of critical thinking and rhetorical skills. Students must learn to craft compelling arguments, effectively incorporate and cite sources, and communicate their ideas with clarity and precision.Moreover, the graduate-level English (advanced) curriculum shouldfoster the development of research skills. As students progress through their studies, they are often required to undertake independent research projects, which necessitates the ability to locate, evaluate, and synthesize relevant scholarly sources. This process involves not only navigating various information databases and library resources but also the ability to critically analyze and interpret research findings.To achieve these objectives, the curriculum must be designed with a balance of theoretical and practical components. Classroom instruction should provide students with a solid foundation in advanced English language concepts, such as discourse analysis, genre-specific writing conventions, and research methodologies. However, the curriculum should also incorporate ample opportunities for hands-on practice, including peer review, writing workshops, and collaborative research projects. This blend of theory and practice helps to ensure that students not only acquire the necessary knowledge but also develop the skills to apply it effectively in their academic and professional pursuits.Furthermore, the graduate-level English (advanced) curriculum should be adaptable and responsive to the evolving needs of students and the academic landscape. As the demands of higher education and the job market continue to shift, the curriculum must be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevantand effective. This may involve incorporating emerging technologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and innovative pedagogical strategies to enhance the learning experience and better prepare students for the challenges they will face in their future endeavors.In conclusion, the new exploration of the graduate-level English (advanced) reading and writing curriculum is a critical component of the academic journey. By cultivating advanced language proficiency, critical thinking skills, and research capabilities, this curriculum empowers students to navigate the complexities of graduate-level studies and beyond. Through a balanced approach of theoretical instruction and practical application, the curriculum can equip students with the necessary tools to excel in their academic pursuits, contribute to the advancement of knowledge, and ultimately, realize their full potential as scholars and leaders in their respective fields.。

研究生英语读写佳境课文翻译精品
研究生英语读写佳境课文翻译精品1 Why do we laugh? Because we find something funny ,most people would say. Robert Provine, a behavioral neurobiologist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, once thought so too. But then he and his students began wandering about the college campus notebooks in hand, recording exactly what really made people laugh.为什么我们会笑?大部分的人都会说那是因为我们找到了一些有趣的事情。
Robert Provine是Maryland大学的行为精神生物学家,他曾经也是这样认为的。
但是他和他的学生们开始散步在大学校园里,手里拿着笔记本,准确地记下引人发笑的原因。
2 Twelve hundred “laugh episodes”later, Provine was convinced that most laughter has little to do with jokes or funny stories. The vast majority or laughs followed mundane statements(普通话语)such as “It was nice meeting you, too” or“Can I join you?”Only some 10 to 20 percent followed anything remotely recognisable(细微联系)as a punch line(妙句、关键句).So what are the majority of laughs actually about?记录下一千二百个“笑的事件”后,Provine相信大部分的笑与开玩笑和滑稽的故事没有关联。

Throughout the evening, one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes,while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward to end of the evening, I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands do not talk to them. This man quickly concurred. He gestured toward his wife and said, "She is the talker in our family." The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. "It is true," he explained. "When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she did not keep the conversation going, we would spend the whole evening in silence."那是在弗吉尼亚郊区一个住所的客厅里,我正在一次小型聚会上发言——这是一次女性的聚会,但也邀请了男性参加。

Unit 1 (A) Canaima —Eco-tours with Angels and Devils (Eco-friendly tours )ecologicalBackground1.Canaima National Park is a 30,000 km²(square kilometers ) park in south-eastern Venezuela . The park was established on the 12 June 1962. It is the second largest park in the country. It became a UNESCO (United Nations Educational ,Scientific ,and Cultural Organization 联合国教科文组织) World Heritage Site in 1994 because of the tepuis (table-top mountains) that are characteristic of this area. The park is home to indigenous Pemon Indians. (Pemon is a Cariban language spoken mainly in Venezuela)The Pemon have an intimate relationship with the tepuis, and believe they are the home of the 'mawari' spirits. The park is relatively remote, with only a few roads connecting towns. Most transport within the park is done by light plane from the airstrips built by various Capuchin missions, or by foot and canoe.Canaima 卡耐玛国家公园,位于委内瑞拉南部,属亚马逊平原的一部分,以多瀑布和平顶山著称. 因为地势险要,地处偏僻,所以到达CANAIMA 的唯一方法,就是把性命系在裤带上坐螺旋桨小飞机过去. 因为是亚马逊河的发源地之一,CANAIMA 充斥着大大小小几千个瀑布,其中包括世界上落差最大的天使瀑布.2.Eco-tourism : Responsible travel to areas which conserve the environment and improve the welfare of the local people.Words and Expressions1.cruising altitude 巡航高度2.mesa: (spanish) a flat-topped mountain 平顶山3.trajectory: (抛射体的)轨道, 轨迹, 弹道; 流轨4.plummet: N.铅锤,测锤 Vi.骤然跌落;垂直落下5.strip: 【航空】(=air strip, landing strip)跑道, 简易机场6.vantage point: 有利位置, 优越地位,优势7.awe-inspiring: 使人惊叹的, 令人敬畏的Mount Qomolangma is an awe-inspiring sight.8.behold: )[书]观看, 注视; 把...视为9.charter: N.包租(汽车、飞机等);租赁; 宪章 charter flights 包机 v. 包租(飞机、汽车等)a charteredplane10.hike: 徒步行走, 行军go on a hike [口]作徒步旅行; 提高, 增加, a hike in living expenses11.indigenous: 天生的, 固有的feelings indigenous to human beings. 本地产的, 土生土长的Indians werethe indigenous inhabitants of America.12.deck: Vi (与out 连用)装饰;点缀;打扮She was decked out in finest clothes.

Unit 1:cyberspace :if you don't love it ,leave itsomething in the American psyche loves new frontiers. We hanker after wide-open spaces ;we like to explore ;we like to make rules but refuse to follow them .But in this age it's hard to find a place where you can go and be yourself without worrying about he neighbours .There is such a place : cyberspace . Formerly a playground for computer fans ,cyberspace . Formely a playground for computer fans ,cyberspace now embraces everyconceivableconstituency:schoollchildren,flirtatious ,singles,Huganan-Americana accountants.Can they all get along?Or will our fear of kids surfing for dirty pictures behind their bedroom doors provoke a crackdown ?The first order of business is to grasp what cyberspace is . It might help to leave beind metaphors 隐喻of highways and frontiers and to think instead of real estate . Real estate ,remember ,is an intellectual ,legal ,artificial environment constructed on top of land. Real estate recognizes the difference between parkland and shopping mall ,between red-light zone and school district ,between church ,state and drugstore .in the same way , you could think of cyberspace as a giant and unbounded world of virtual real estate .Some property is privatedly owned and rented out ; other property is common land ; some places are suitable for children , and others are best avoided by all citizens . Unfortunately ,it's those places that are now capturing the popular imagination ,plaecs that offer bombmaking instructions ,pornography, advice on how to steal credit cards .They make cyberspace sound like a nasty place . Good citizens jump to a conclusion : Better regulate it .But before using regulations to counter indecency ,it is fundamental to interpret the nature of cyberspace . Cyberspace isn't a frontier where wicked people can grab unsuspecting children ,nor is it a giant television system that can beam offensive messages at unwilling viewers . In this kind of real estate ,users have to choose where thy visit ,what they see ,what they do .It's optiona .In other words,cyberspace is a voluntary destination --in reality ,many destinations .You don't just get "onto the Net" ;you have to go someplace in particular . That means that people can choose where to go and what to see .Yes , community standards should be enforced ,but those standards set by cyberspace communities themselves ,not by the courts or by politicians in Washington . what makes cyberspace so alluring is precisely the way in which it's different from shopping malls , television ,highways and other terrestrial jurisdictions.But let's define the territor:First ,there are private e-malil conversations ,similar to the conversations you have over the teleophone .These are private and consensualand require no regulation at all .Second , there are information and entertainment services , wehre people can download anytihing from legal texts and lists of "great new restaurants " to game software or dirty pictures . These places are like bookstores ,malls and movie houses --places whre you go to buy something .The customer needs to request an item or sign up for a subscription; stuff (especially pornography ) is not sent out to people who don't ask for it .Some of these services are free or included as part of a broader service like ComputerServe or America Online ; others charge may and may bill their customers directly .Third ,there are "real" communities ---groups of people who communicate among themselves . In real-estate terms ,they're like bars or restaurants or bathhouses . Each active participate contributes to a general conversation ,generally through posted messages . Other participant may simply listen or watch .Some services are supervised by a moderator ; others are more like bulletin boards ---anyone is free to post anything .Many of these services started out unmoderated but are now imposing rules to keep out unwanted advertising ,extraneous discussions or increasingly rude participants .Cyberspace communitis evolve just the way terrestrial ommunities do : people with like-minded interests band together . Every cyberspace community has its own character . Overall , the communities on CompuServe tend t be more professsional ; those on AmericaOnline , affluent young singles ;Prodigy family-oriented itself there are lots of passionate non-commercial discussion groups on topics ranging from Hungarian politics (hungary Online ) copyright law .What's unique about cyberspace is that it allows communities of any size and kind to flourish ; in cyberspace ,communities are chosen by the users , not forced on them by accidents of geography . This freedom gives the rules that precise in cyberspace a moral authority that rules in terrestrial environments don't have . Most people are stuck in the country of their birth, but if you don't like the rules of a given cyberspace community ,they can restrict their children's access to it .What's likely to happen in cyberspace is the formation of new communities ,free of the constraits that cause conflict on earth . Instead of a global village ,which is a nice dream but impossible to manage , we'll hae invented another world of self-contained communities that cater to their own members' inclinations without interfering with anyoneelse's The possibility of a real market-style evolution of governance is at hand .In cyberpace ,we'll be able to test and evolve rules governing wht needs to be governed --intellectual property ,content and access control , rules about privacy and free speech .Some communities will allow anyone in ;others will restrict access to members who qualify on one basis or another .Those communites that prove self-sustaining will prosper (and perhaps grow and split into subsets wiht ever-more-particular interests and identities ) Those that can't survive --either because people lose interest or get scared off --will simply wither away .In the near future ,explorers in cyberspace will need to get better at defining and identifying their communities . they will need to put in place --and accept ---their own local governments apart from terrestrial governments ,just as the owners of expensive real estatet often have their own security guards though they can call in the police to get ride of undesirable customers .Then what shoul be done about undesirable material in cyberspace ? What to do ,for instance ,about pornography . The answer is labeling ,besides banning ,questionable material .it makes sense for cyberspace participants themselves to agree on a scheme for uestionable items ,so that people or automatic filters can avoid them . It's easy enough for software manufacturers to build an automatioc filter that would prevent you or your child from ever seeing the undesired item on a menu . (it's as if all the items were wrapped , with labels on the wrapper.)Someone who posted pornographic material under the title "Kid-Fun" could be sued for mislabeling .Without a lot of fanfare , private enterprises and local groups are already producing a variety of labeling services ,along with kid-oriented sites like Kidlink and Kid's Space .People differ in their tastes and values and can find services on the Net that suit them in the same way they select books and magazines . Or they can wonder freely if they prefer , making up their own itinerary .In the end , our society needs to grow up . Growing up means understanding thtat there are no perfect answers , no all-purpose solutions , no government sanctioned safe havens .We haven't created a perfect society on earth , and we won't have one in cyberspace either . But at least we can have individual choice and individual responsibility .接converstion is seen as corss-cultural commuicayion allows us to understand the problem and forge solutuions without blaming either party.Once the problem is understood,improvement comes naturally.Wowen who feel abandoned and deprived when their husbands won‟t listen to or report daily news may be happy to deiscover their husbands trying to adapt once they understand the place of small talk in women‟s relationships.But if their husband don‟t adapt,the women may still be comforted that for men,this is not a failture of intimacy.Accepting the difference,the wives may look to their friends or faminly for that kind of talk.And husbands who can‟t provide it shouldn‟t fell their wives have made unreasonable demands.Some couples will still decide to divorce,but at least their decisions will be based on realistic expectations. Unit 2 WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR MEN AND WOMEN TO TALKI was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room -- a women's group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening, one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes,while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward to end of the evening, I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands do not talk to them. This man quickly concurred. He gestured toward his wife and said, "She is the talker in our family." The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. "It is true," he explained. "When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she did not keep the conversation going, we would spend the whole evening in silence."This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage.Sociologist Catherine Kohier Riessman, who reported in her new book Divorce Talk that most of the women she interviewed -- but only a few of the men -- give the lack of communication as the reason for their divorces.In my own research, complaints from women about their husbands most often focused not on tangible inequities such as having give up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his, or doing far more than their share of daily life. Instead, they focused on communication:"He does not listen to me," "He does not talk to me." I found that most wives want their husbands to be, first and foremost, conversational partners, but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.In short, the image that represents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face, while a woman glares at the back of it, wanting to talk.Linguistic Battle Between Men and Women How can women and men have such different impressions of communication in marriage? Why is there a widespread imbalance in their interests and expectations?In the April 1990 issue of American Psychologist, Stanford University's Eleanor Maccoby reports the results of her own and others' research showing that children's development is most influenced by the social structure of peer interaction. Boys and girls tend to play with children of their own gender, and their sex-separate groups have different organizational structures and interactive norms.I believe that systematic differences in childhood socialization make talk between women and men like cross-cultural communication. My research on men's and women's conversations uncovered patterns similar to those described for children's groups.For women, as for girls, intimacy is the fabric of the relationships, and talk is the thread from which is woven. Little girls create and maintain friendships by exchanging secrets; similarly, women regard conversation as the cornerstone of friendship. So a woman expects her husband to be a new and improved version of a best friend. What is important is not the individual subjects that are discussed but the sense of closeness, of a life shared, that emerges when people tell their thoughts, feelings, and impressions.Bonds between boys can be as intense as girls', but they are based less on taking more on doing things together. Since they do not assume talk is the cement that binds a relationship, men do not know what kind of talk women want, and they do not miss it when it is not there.Boys' groups are larger, more inclusive, and more hierarchical, so boys must struggle to avoid the subordinate position in the group. This may play a role in women's complaints on men do not listen to them.Often when women tell men,"You are not listening," and the men protest "I am", the men are right. The impression of not listening results from misalignments in the mechanics conversation. This misalignments begins as soon as a man and a woman take physical position. When I studied videotapes made by psychologist Bruce Dorval of children and adults talking to their same-sex best friends, I found at every age, the girls and women faced each other directly, their eyes anchored on each other's faces. At every age, the boys and men sat at angles to each other and looked elsewhere in the room, periodically glancing at each other. But the tendency of men to face away can give women the impression they are not listening even when they are. A young woman in college was frustrated: whenever she told her boyfriend she wanted to talk to him, he would lie down on the floor, close his eyes, and put his arms over his face. This signaled to her, "He is taking a nap." But he insisted he was listening extra hard. Normally, he looks around the room, so he is easily distracted. Lying down and covering his eyes helped him concentrate on what she was saying.Switching topics is another habit that gives women the impression men are not listening, especially if they switch to a topic about themselves. The girls in my study tended to talk at length about one topic, but boys tended to jump from topic to topic.My study of the 10th-grade children found that when a girl told a friend about a problem, the friend responded by asking probing questions and expression agreement and understanding. But the boys dismissed each other's problems. Todd assured Richard that his drinking was "no big problem". And when Todd said he felt left out, Richard responded,"Why should you? You know more people than me."Women perceived such responses as belittling and unsupportive. But boys seemed satisfied with them. Whereas women reassured each other by implying, "You should not feel bad because I have had similar experiences," men do so by implying, "You should not feel bad because your problems are not so bad."There are even simpler reasons for women's impression that men do not listen. Linguist Lynette Hirschman found that women make more listener-noise, such as "mhm", "uhuh", and "yeah", to show "I am with you". Men, she found, more often give silent attention. Women who expect a stream of listener-noise interpret silent attention as no attention at all.Women's conversational habits are as frustrating to men as men's are to women. Men who expect silent attention interpret a stream of listener-noise as overreaction or impatience. Also, when women talk to each other in a close, comfortable setting, they often overlap, finish each other's sentences and anticipate what the other is about to say. This practice, which I call "participatory listenership", is often perceived by men as interruption, intrusion and lack of attention.A parallel difference caused a man to complain about his wife, "She just want to talk about her own point of view. If I show her another view, she gets mad at me." When most women talk to each other, they assume a conversationalist's job is to express agreement and support. But many men see their conversational duty as pointing out the other side of an argument. This is heard as disloyalty by women, and refusal to offer the requisite support. It is not that women do not want to see other points of view, but that they prefer them phrased as suggestions and inquires rather than as direct challenges.The Sounds of SilenceThese differences begin to clarify why women and men have such different expectations about communication in marriage. For women, talk creates intimacy. Marriage is an orgy of closeness: you can tell your feelings and thoughts, and still be loved. Their greatest fear is being pushed away. But men live in a hierarchical world, where talk maintains independence and status. They are on guard to protect themselves from bing put down and pushed around.This explains the paradox of the talkative man who said of his silent wife, "She is the talker." In the public setting, he felt challenged to show his intelligence and display his understanding. But at home, where he has nothing to prove and no one to defend against, he is free to remain silent. For his wife, being home means she is free from the worry that something she says might offend someone, or spark disagreement, or appear to be showing off; at home she is free to talk.The communication problems that endanger marriage can not be fixed by mechanical engineering. They require a new conceptual framework about the role of talk in human relationships. Many of the psychological explanations may not be helpful, because they tend to blame either women (for not being assertive enough) or men (for not being in touch with their feelings). A sociolinguistic approach by which male-femaleUnit 3: The Case Against ManThe first mistake is to think of mankind as a thing in itself. It isn‟t. It is part of an intricate web of life. And we can‟t think even of life as a thing in itself. It isn‟t. It is part of the intricate structure of a planet bathed by energy from the Sun.The Earth, in the nearly 5 billion years since it assumed approximately its present form, has undergone a vast evolution. When it first came into being, it very likely lacked what we would today call an ocean and an atmosphere. These were formed by the gradual outward movement of material as the solid interior settled together.Nor were ocean, atmosphere, and solid crust independent of each other after formation. There is interaction always: evaporation, condensation, solution, weathering. Far within the solid crust there are slow, continuing changes, too, of which hot springs, volcanoes, and earthquakes are the more noticeable manifestations here on the surface.Between 2 billion and 3 billion years ago, portions of the surface water, bathed by the energetic radiation from the Sun, developed complicated compounds in organization sufficiently versatile to qualify as what we call "life". Life forms have become more complex and more various ever since.But the life forms are as much part of the structure of the Earth as any inanimate portion is. It is all an inseparable part of a whole. If any animal is isolated totally from other forms of life, then death by starvation will surely follow. If isolated from water, death by dehydration will follow even faster. If isolated from air, whether free or dissolved in water, death by asphyxiation will follow still faster. If isolated from the Sun, animals will survive for a time, but plants would die, and if all plants died, all animals would starve.It works in reverse, too, for the inanimate portion of Earth is shaped and molded by life. The nature of the atmosphere has been changed by plant activity (which adds to the air the free oxygen it could not otherwise retain). The soil is turned by earthworms, while enormous ocean reefs are formed by coral.The entire planet, plus solar energy, is one enormous intricately interrelated system. The entire planet is a life form made up of nonliving portions and a large variety of living portions (as our own body is made up of nonliving crystals in bones and nonliving water in blood, as well as of a large variety of living portions).In fact, we can pursue the analogy. A man is composed of 50 trillion cells of a variety of types, all interrelated and interdependent. Loss of some of those cells, such as those making up an entire leg, will seriously handicap all the rest of the organism: serious damage to a relatively few cells in an organ, such as the heart or kidneys, may end by killing all 50 trillion.In the same way, on a planetary scale, the chopping down of an entire forest may not threaten Earth‟s life in general, but it will produce serious changes in the life forms of the region and even in the nature of the water runoff and, therefore, in the details of geological structure. A serious decline in the bee population will affect the numbers of those plants that depend on bees for fertilization, then the numbers of those animals that depend on those particular bee-fertilized plants, and so on.Or consider cell growth. Cells in those organs that suffer constant wear and tear—as in the skin or in the intestinal lining—grow and multiply all life long. Other cells, not so exposed, as in nerve and muscle, do not multiply at all in the adult, under any circumstances. Still other organs, ordinarily quiescent, as liver and bone, stand ready to grow if that is necessary to replace damage. When the proper repairs are made, growth stops.In a much looser and more flexible way, the same is true of the "planet organism" (which we study in the science called ecology). If cougars grow too numerous, the deer they live on are decimated, and some of the cougars die of starvation, so that their "proper number" is restored. If too many cougars die, then the deer multiply with particular rapidity, and cougars multiply quickly in turn, till the additional predators bring down the number of deer again. Barring interference from outside, the eaters and the eaten retain their proper numbers, and both are the better for it. (If the cougars are all killed off, deer would multiply to the point where they destroy the plants they live off, and more would then die of starvation than would have died of cougars.)The neat economy of growth within an organism such as a human being is sometimes—for what reason, we know not—disrupted, and a group of cells begins growing without limit. This is the dread disease of cancer, and unless that growing group of cells is somehow stopped, the wild growth will throw all the body structure out of true and end by killing the organism itself.In ecology, the same would happen if, for some reason, one particular type of organism began to multiply without limit, killing its competitors and increasing its own food supply at the expense of that of others. That, too, could end in the destruction of the larger system—most or all of life and even of certain aspects of the inanimate environment.And this is exactly what is happening at this moment. For thousands of years, the single species Homo sapiens, to which you and I have the dubious honor of belonging, has been increasing in numbers. In the past couple of centuries, the rate of increase has itself increased explosively.At the time of Jul ius Caesar, when Earth‟s human population is estimated to have been 150 million, that population was increasing at such a rate that it would double in 1000 years if that rate remained steady. Today, with Earth…s population estimated at about 4000 million (26 times what it was in Caesar‟s time), it is increasing at a rate which, if steady, will cause it to double in 35 years.The present rate of increase of Earth‟s swarming human population qualifies Homo sapiens as an ecological cancer, which will destroy the ecology just as surely as any ordinary cancer would destroy an organism.The cure? Just what it is for any cancer. The cancerous growth must somehow be stopped.Of course, it will be. If we do nothing at all, the growth will stop, as a cancerous growth in a man will stop if nothing is done. The man dies and the cancer dies with him. And analogously, the ecology will die and man will die with it.How can the human population explosion be stopped? By raising the death rate or by lowering the birthrate. There are no other alternatives. The death rate will rise spontaneously and finally catastrophically, if we do nothing—and that within a few decades. To make the birthrate fall, somehow (almost any how, in fact), is surely preferable, and that is therefore t he first order of mankind‟s business today.Failing this, mankind would stand at the bar of abstract justice (for there may be no posterity to judge) as the mass murderer of life generally, his own included, and mass disrupter of the intricate planetary development that made life in its present glory possible in the first place. Unit 5 Can We Know the Universe?Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. Its goal is to find out how the world works, to seek what regularities there may be, to penetrate the connections of things—from subnuclear particles, which may be the constituents of all matter, to living organisms, the human social community, and thence to the cosmos as a whole. Our intuition is by no means an infallible guide. Our perceptions may be distorted by training and prejudice or merely because of the limitations of our sense organs, which, of course, perceive directly but a small fraction of the phenomena of the world. Even so straightforward a question as whether in the absence of friction a pound of lead falls faster than a gram of fluff was answered incorrectly by Aristotle and almost everyone else before the time of Galileo. Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is. Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage—at the very least the courage to question the conventional wisdom.Beyond this the main trick of science is to really think of something: the shape of clouds and their occasional sharp bottom edges at the same altitude everywhere in the sky; the formation of the dewdrop on a leaf; the origin of a name or a word—Shakespeare, say, or "philanthropic"; the reason for human social customs—the incest taboo, for example; how it is that a lens in sunlight can make paper burn; how a "walking stick" got to look so much like a twig; why the Moon seems to follow us as we walk; what prevents us from digging a hole down to the center of the Earth; what the definition is of "down" on a spherical Earth; how it is possible for the body to convert yesterday's lunch into today's muscle and sinew; or how far is up—does the universe go on forever, or if it does not, is there any meaning to the question of what lies on the other side? Some of these questions are pretty easy. Others, especially the last, are mysteries to which no one even today knows the answer. They are natural questions to ask. Every culture has posed such questions in one way or another. Almost always the proposed answers are in the nature of "Just So Stories," attempted explanations divorced from experiment, or even from careful comparative observations.But the scientific cast of mind examines the world critically as if many alternative worlds might exist, as if other things might be here which are not. Then we are forced to ask why what we see is present and not something else. Why are the Sun and the Moon and the planets spheres? Why not pyramids, or cubes, or dodecahedra? Why not irregular, jumbly shapes? Why so symmetrical worlds? If you spend any time spinning hypotheses, checking to see whether they make sense, whether they conform to what else we know, thinking of tests you can pose to substantiate or deflate your hypotheses, you will find yourself doing science. And as you come to practice this habit of thought more and more you will get better and better at it. To penetrate into the heart of the thing—even a little thing, a blade of grass, as Walt Whitman said—is to experience a kind of exhilaration that, it may be, only human beings of all the beings on this planet can feel. We are an intelligent species and the use of our intelligence quite properly gives us pleasure. In this respect the brain is like a muscle. When we think well, we feel good. Understanding is a kind of ecstasy.But to what extent can we really know the universe around us? Sometimes this question is posed by people who hope the answer will be in the negative, who are fearful of a universe in which everything might one day be known. And sometimes we hear pronouncements from scientists who confidently state that everything worth knowing will soon be known—or even is already known—and who paint pictures of a Dionysian or Polynesian age in which the zest for intellectual discovery has withered, to be replaced by a kind of subdued languor, the lotus eaters drinking fermented coconut milk or some other mild hallucinogen. In addition to maligning both the Polynesians, who were intrepid explorers (and whose brief respite in paradise is now sadly ending), as well as the inducements to intellectual discovery provided by some hallucinogens, this contention turns out to be trivially mistaken.Let us approach a much more modest question: not whether we can know the universe or the Milky Way Galaxy or a star or a world. Can we know, ultimately and in detail, a grain of salt? Consider one microgram of table salt, a speck just barely large enough for someone with keen eyesight to make out without a microscope. In that grain of salt there are about 1016 sodium and chlorine atoms. That is a 1 followed by 16 zeros, 10 million billion atoms. If we wish to know a grain of salt we must know at least the three-dimensional positions of each of these atoms. (In fact, there is much more to be known—for example, the nature of the forces between the atoms—but we are making only a modest calculation.) Now, is this number more or less than a number of things which the brain can know?How much can the brain know? There are perhaps 1011 neurons in the brain, the circuit elements and switches that are responsible in their electrical and chemical activity for the functioning of our minds. A typical brain neuron has perhaps a thousand little wires, called dendrites, which connect it with its fellows. If, as seems likely, every bit of information in the brain corresponds to one of these connections, the total number of things knowable by the brain is no more than 1014, one hundred trillion. But this number is only one percent of the number of atoms in our speck of salt.So in this sense the universe is intractable, astonishingly immune to any human attempt at full knowledge. We cannot on this level understand a grain of salt, much less the universe.But let us look a little more deeply at our microgram of salt. Salt happens to be a crystal in which, except for defects in the structure of the crystal lattice, the position of every sodium and chlorine atom is predetermined. If we could shrink ourselves into this crystalline world, we would rank upon rank of atoms in an ordered array, a regularly alternating structure—sodium, chlorine, sodium, chlorine, specifying the sheet of atoms we are standing on and all the sheets above us and below us. An absolutely pure crystal of salt could have the position of every atom specified by something like 10 bits of information. This would not strain the information-carrying capacity of the brain.If the universe had natural laws that governed its behavior to the same degree of regularity that determines a crystal of salt, then, of course, the universe would be knowable. Even if there were many such laws, each of considerable complexity, human beings might have the capability to understand them all. Even if such knowledge exceeded the information-carrying capacity of the brain, we might store the additional information outside our bodies—in books, for example, or in computer memories—and still, in some sense, know the universe.Human beings are, understandably, highly motivated to find regularities, natural laws. The search for rules, the only possible way to understand such a vast and complex universe, is called science. The universe forces those who live in it to understand it. Those creatures who find everyday experience a muddled jumble of events with no predictability, no regularity, are in grave peril. The universe belongs to those who, at least to some degree, have figured it out.For myself,I like a universe that includes much that is unknown and,at the same time,much that is knowable.A universe in which every thing is known would be static and dull,as boring as the heaven of some weak-minded theologians.A universe that is unknowable is no fit place for a thinking being.The ideal universe for us is one verymuch like the universe we inhabit.And I would guess that is not really much of a coincidence.。

With the development of economy, people tend to pursue high quality living conditions. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. In my point of view, no matter how busy they are, they should make the best use of their time to stay with their children.First, the love between children and adults will be improved by spending more time on their children. Children could feel parents' affection through the genial conversation and sharing their pleasure with them. Every time when parents take them to amusement park, help them to prepare their birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.Second, children need the direction from their parents. There are some wrong behaviors in our society such as dishonesty, corruption, violence and eroticism and so on. Children have weak resistance in defending this detrimental influence. In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth. Parents should sit down and talk with them about what they should do and should not do. In addition, if parents often spend time in staying with their children, adults' good behaviors will greatly influence their children.Here I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time on children. Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests. Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy works.I agree that it is good to educate children according to their own traits, for example, some children who have special talent, lead a live that is so different from ordinary people, partly because of the individualized teaching methods. At the same time, we also know there are some abnormal persons, who need to be educated specially and with more efforts, compared to others. Just take the famous writer Helen Keller for example, it is the individualized education that help the little blind girl to gain success.范文: From very young, we have always hoped to be educated specially, and do not like to be treated the same as others. We also admire successful people, believing they must have received education different from ordinary people and they must be lucky enough to own enlightened parents and teachers. Sometimes we also disliked the general patterns of education we received in the school.However, most of us are ordinary people. For us, the purpose of education is more than just paying attention to individual needs and interests. My opinions are as follows.First of all, for ordinary ones, talent ones and abnormal persons, we are people living in a certain society and it is important for us to learn how to survive harmoniously with others. Every individual should know how to obey laws, follow certain moral standards, accept some models of thoughts, and acquire communication skills. It is the education which helps us to gain these above.Second, education aims to help one to develop fully and properly.This should be done firstly according to his/her own traits and abilities. We should show the children to a right way but not only one definite way. If you wonder what on earth the way is, I think the answer will have close relationship with our social standards first, then comes the person’s own individual needs and interests.We must consider the two factors above when educating, but sill should integrate lots of other factors, such as the trend of the history, the fund supporting from families, school and even our government. Also, we should decide whether the children’s needs which are reasonable and practical.In sum, education should pay attention however not too much to the individual needs and interests of each student. The truly effective way is to integrate many different aspect of factors.2. Health ,Wealth and Happiness范文:1Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have much money or a large number of possessions, they will be happy. They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if they have money. Some students think that they should be in good health, and enjoy whatever they like. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can have everything. I don’t agree with the above points. We can’t buy many important things with money, such as health, happiness and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge. Although different people value happiness differently, my “wealth” of happiness is in my study.范文:2Well,nowadays we are living in a more materialistic society and consumer goods are desirable everywhere.Wealth is so great an apeal to people that they work hard to earn money, as it seem to make everything possible.I once heard of some old sayings about money such as "Money talks" and "No money, No honey". These proverbs gave me deep impressions when I was a little girl. At least it made me know about the importance of money.With time passing by , I begin to know money is not the only thing that matters in life. But in reality without money you cannot live a happy life,either. So for me "enough money " means I can afford the cost of my living and I can have extra money to support my hobbies.3.Working in a Multinational Company or as a Civil Servant?范文:Today, seeking a job in a large joint venture company is still one of the best choices for many university graduates. And yet, there is also a growing trend for graduating students to prepare for civil servant recruitment examinations to work for the government office.To be a white-collar in a multinational company or to be a civil servant, each has advantages and disadvantages of its own.①First, a job with the former means high pay but longer working hours.They have to weigh the loneliness of being away from home against the opportunity to make new friends.②Second, one might be able to develop his or her abilities rapidly and fully in a high competitive environment, which of course also makes his or her jobs an extremely tiring and stressful one. However, in my hometown, sheltered by family influence and surrounded by good friends, one might never meet the challenge of developing his or her unknown potential.③Third, promotion in a multinational company is based largely on one’s merits and contributions, therefore one does not have to worry too much about strained relations, though it is by no means easy to get promoted in such companies.Despite all the advantages of being a white-collar, I have a strong desire to be a civil servant.①For one thing, it is a stable job and has little risk in work and life in general.②For another, the pay rises for civil servant has shown that working for the government is getting very desirable.③Most important of all, I enjoy working for people, for the general public. So instead of being my mother’s baby all my life, I’ll make parents feel proud of me.P.3171.Shopping over the Internet or in Stores范文:Have you experienced shopping by clicking the mouse without going outdoors? With the development of the Internet and the increase of net citizens, a new style of shopping is prevailing. More and more corporations provide shopping service over the Internet. The electronic commerce is moving toward prosperity.Some people prefer online shopping because of its convenience. Time and labor can be saved to do something else. And more discount merchandise can be easily found and bought over the Internet. But some people dislike it when they concern the quality of goods, the safety of payment and the after-sale service. Actually they fear being cheated. Purchasing goods in stores, they could check what they buy on the spot. And the invoice could ensure the after service.I like both of them. I have been buying books on Bertelsmann website for many years. As one of its members, I enjoy its regular promotions and free delivery. I pay for my orders in cash or by credit card through the Internet banking. But when it comes to goods such as costume, cosmetics and home appliances, I'd like to purchase them in stores. They are more expensive than books. And quality and safety should be concerned firstly. You see, the style of shopping depends on what you are to buy.2.On Overseas Study范文:In recent years, studying abroad has flourished. Thousands of scholars and students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are sparing no effort in applying for going abroad.Attending schools abroad has many advantages. In the first place, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between peoples of different cultures so as to promote international understanding. Secondly, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from the foreign countries. Thirdly, we can enjoy the contact with new and different cultures so as to increase the awareness of our own culture. Fourthly, we can learn a foreign language more quickly.However, studying abroad may have disadvantages such as language barrier in the first few months or financial difficulties before getting a scholarship. In spite of these, the advantages greatly outweigh the disadvantages. It is advisable to attend schools abroadDifferent people have various ambitions. Some want to be engineers or doctors in the future. Some want to be scientists or businessmen. Still some wish to be teachers or lawers when they grow up in the days to come. Unlike other people, I prefer to be a farmer. However, it is not easy to be a farmer for Iwill be looked upon by others. Anyway,what I am trying to do is to make great contributions to agriculture. It is well known that farming is the basic of the country. Above all, farming is not only a challenge but also a good opportunity for the young. We can also make a big profit by growing vegetables and food in a scientific way. Besides we can apply what we have learned in school to farming. Thus our countryside will become more and more properous.I believe that any man with knowledge can do whatever they can so long as this job can meet his or her interest. All the working position can provide him with a good chance to become a talent.3.The Art of Establishing Harmonious Relationship between People范文:In daily life, people should not be self-centered, when they are together with other people, they’d better listen to others more not only act according to themselves’ opinion. Unconscious of an equal and open-hearted attitude toward others, people will not develop a cooperative mind in a group work. In present life , international communication is more and more popular, the spirit of cooperation is also important for international communication.Communication is very important for people and the society. Whenever people at work or play with friends they have to communicate with the others. Some people are very good at communicating with the others, but some people are not. In Communication, language is very important for people to have a harmonious relationship with each other. Usually ,a word, a sentence will make a person happy in a proper manner. Whoever knows how to communicate with people , it will be much easier to make friends. When someone does not know how to communicate with people, it is difficult to make friends. Sometimes, people will find it is hard to communicate with the foreigner. It is because they don't understand how to communicate with the foreigners. Communication is also a good way to improve people’s ability and their experience to communicate with each other. In our society, a harmonious relationship between people is very important for the development of career. It seems to be difficult to have harmonious relationship with people, but if everyone can treat others with kind and friendly attitude, our society will be a harmonious society. Sometimes, people living near don’t know each other. It reflects interpersonal relationships in our society today. In present life, many people live in apartments, they close their doors and seldom go out when they get home from outside. When they feel lonely, they will watch TV in their spare time. They have little communication with their neighbors, and become more and more indifferent. That is why more and more people feel lonely in our society and people becomes indifferent. So a harmonious interpersonal relationship is so important. People live closely should have communication more.Although interpersonal relationship seems complicated, it will be easy if people have an equal and open-hearted attitude toward other people. Everyone plays a role in our society, their social status is different, their dignity should be respected. People all have dignity, he or she should be confident in interpersonal communication. If people do not look down upon others, he or she will surely be respected by other people, and accepted by our society. Therefore, in interpersonal communication, confidence and respect are equally important. People should pay attention to what others want, and put themselves in other’s s hoes in interpersonal communication.Today, competition is everywhere in our society. People will have more chance if they obey the rules in the pursuit of success. The attitude is not only necessary for people’s success, but also important for the establ ishment of harmonious society. It is useful for everyone to know how to get along with other people and have harmonious interpersonal relationship in our society. To have harmonious interpersonal relationship, including self-confidence, respect other people and care about other people. Our society will be a harmonious community.P.3371.My ideal job范文:Every person has his own ideal job. Some people wish to be doctors, while others want to be teachers and so on. As far as I am concerned, I have been dreaming of being a guide for a long time. First, my major is the manage of tourism, so I want to get a job about tourism. Secondly, good guides are knowledgeable and amiable, meanwhile, they have wide vision. Finally, guide can constantly expand his knowledge and understand lots of customs about different cultures and countries.To achieve my dream of being a qualified guide, I have to make sufficient preparations. Fro one thing, I must learn my specialty well and travel at my spare time, just as the saying goe s: “Seeing is believing.” For another, Ishould enhance my eloquence so that I can express the allusion about the view clearly. What’s more important ,I should control my mood freely and treat every traveler kindly.Being a good guide is difficult, but I b elieve if I endeavor to do this things in all hands. I’ll be successful sooner or later.2.Travel Broadens the Minds范文:1Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. More and more people have enough money to travel abroad or at home. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. This situation is encouraging, for it not only broadens people's minds to the extend which may not be reached previously, but also relaxes the m physically, which help people work out mental problems more actively.One of my best friends is so exclusively engaged in his works that he did not even know what was happening out of his own discipline. What’s worse, his progress was nearly little. After accepting my advice, he travelled a few cities and towns. The experience gave him a good opportunity of learning. Today, he gets a bumper harvest in his knowledge——the longstanding dream of entering graduate school comes true.In conclusion, travel opens our mind because it enables us to know about the history and culture of a nation. In a way, going on travels is like reading books..范文:2Travel has many benefits to offer. It enriches our experiences and helps us know more about the world, aside from relaxing ourselves both physically and psychologically.To begin with, travel is one of the best ways to enrich our experiences. If we visit tourist attractions and historical or cultural relics at different places of our country or foreign lands, we will meet different people, enjoy exotic natural sceneries, have a taste of varied cultures and, in the long run, enrich our knowledge. Moreover, travel also helps to enlighten and broaden our minds, since it provides us with new perspectives through what we learn from other cultures. For example, it helps to reduce cultural prejudice after we have got a better understanding of civilizations that vary sharply from one another.Travel is gaining increasing popularity among us. We travel to relax ourselves, enrich our experiences and broaden our minds.范文:3Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. Many people are rich enough to afford a travel at home or abroad. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. The increasing popularity of travel is, among others, due to the following reason: travel broadens our minds to an extent which may not be reached previously.For example, if we travel to Africa, we will find a culture totally different from that of ours, and people who think and live in a way unimaginable for us before we set foot on the continent. And we will marvel at the natural wonders, historic miracles and cultural brilliances we find there. All these experiences help to broaden our minds. As a result, our misunderstanding about the continent, if any, will be weeded out, our perspective of seeing the world possibly changed, our mode of thinking altered and, above all, our mind broadened.Reading makes an erudite man; practicing a capable man; and traveling a broad-minded man.3.What Makes Life Worthwhile范文:What makes life worthwhile? Different people may have differen answers to this question. Some people may think that money and power is the most important for one’s life. Others may regard devotion and success as essential for their life. As for as I’m concerned I agree with the latter instead of the former.There goes an old saying:no pains,no gains. In our country as well as all over the world, there are many scientists who spent much of time and energy doing research work. Though they do not necessarily earn much money, they are very happy when they succeed, because they have done something meaningful and have contributed, in a degree, to human beings.Therefore,we may conclude that money or the like is useful ,while devotion and contribution is indispensable for our life.Only when we have worked hard and have done something beneficial to our career and to man-kind, can we feel our life really worthwhile.4.Love, and Then Be LovedIn recent years, more and more teachers complain that their students are indifferent to others. Some even worry that the young generation might ruin the future of China. To be sure, many of our young people cannot see eye to eye with this view. However, as a university student, I myself would like to content that we young people today are in general more self-centered and unsympathetic than our previous generations.To start with, most, if not all, young people choose to attend exclusively to their own needs. In their eyes, It is all too natural to seek satisfaction from what they do, even if it may mean inconvenience to others. Take my dormitory for example. It is a common scene here that a roommate cheerfully talks to his girlfriend on the phone at midnight when others are struggling for a sound sleep. One may complain now and then, but to no avail. In fact, the others, to the exclusion of me, live their dormitory life much in the same way. When I take a nap at noon, they often play cards. They have no regard for others. Life is a joy to them, yet they often enjoy it to the neglect of others’ feelings. In sharp contrast, our caring parents always pay heed to our needs and those of others. Whenever my father comes back home late in the night, he tiptoes In for fear that he might awake me.Moreover, our young people tend to be insensitive to others’ difficulty.When a classmate falls ill, few people offer to help, but regard it as none of their business. Some students in my class come from poor families. Yet, they are active mobile phone users, who may spend twice as much as what their parents earn from arduous labor. When asked why they behave so, they answer that their parents have the obligation to accommodate their expenses. Personally, I detest their answer, for I know my parents never thought that way when they were young. Being aware of their parents’ financial difficulty, they managed to save every penny they could.For the above reasons and those not mentioned here, I subscribe to the view that young people in today’s China are more self-centered and unsympathetic than were our previous generations. It is high time that we learned from older generations so that a harmonious and splendid future can be anticipated.P.354A.Challenges and Successes范文:1There are lots of challenges in variety field, and people are facing them every day. There not just physical challenges, but also mental, will challenges. If you like challenges there are many ways you can do, for example, risk your life to do some extremely hard sports, invent something to make life easier, and learn things as many as you can. Whatsoever, you do, you are enjoying life. People enjoy challenges may caused by curiosity, successful feeling, or glory. Today we still have a lot of challenges before us. Doctors are facing many diseases that still cause people death. Scientists are facing how to make life more convenient or to search other planets. Engineersalso have some problems to be solved such as how to make buildings stronger, healthier, and more convenient. Challenges just like goals; my challenge now is that study hard, and go to UNBC.范文:2For thousands of years, people have accepted challenges in different fields. There are not only physical challenges, but also social and intellectual challenges. Some people risk their lives in playing sports to see how well they can do. Others try to make and invent something to make life easier. They all enjoy challenges.Why do people enjoy these challenges? There are probably many reasons. One is curiosity. The other is the personal feeling of success, of achievement, and nowadays, for some people, it is a business.Today, we still have many challengers before us. Medical science faces the challenges of conquering many diseases which still attack human beings. Engineers and planners must build new cities, design and produce new kinds of transportation. Scientists must develop new forms of energy. In short, we live in an age of challenges.B.The Career I Pursue范文:In China young people usually want to be engineers, doctors, businessmen, etc. and few want to be teachers. Unlike most young people I decide to be a teacher. There are many reasons for my personal preference but generally they come down to three major ones.First, I was born in a teacher's family and so I was greatly influenced by my father. Second, I find that education is important because it is the basis of science and technology and if a country's education is backward, its science and technology will never be advanced. Third, teachers are needed in our country, especially in the countryside.However, it is not easy to be a qualified teacher. A qualified teacher must have a good command of his specialty. Besides, he should be responsible and devoted to the educational cause. Most important of all, he should be patriotic. To be a qualified teacher in the future I must lose no time to acquire as much knowledge as possible. 'Furthermore I must know the history of our country so as to cultivate patriotism.C.How should college students face to the pressure?范文:In recent years, the pressure of job-seeking for college students becomes bigger and bigger because the distributions of them have changed a lot. That directly causes study pressure more great.How to release the pressure and get used to the circumstance?1) Believe yourself; self-confidence is the first important factor for u.2) Communicate with others such as your parents, classmates, friends etc; take an active part in the public activities.3) Keep exercises and keep fit. Only both of the mental and physical health can lead you to success.4) Refer to the mental consulters, they will help u to recognize the world correctlyPs: you can extend the four points on your opinion!。

Unit twoText:Cancer & Chemicals-Are We Going Too Far?Marla ConeLast year, California governor George Deukmejian called together many of the state's best scientific minds to begin implementing Proposition 65, the state's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act. This new law bans industries from discharging chemical suspected of causing cancer (carcinogens) or birth defects into water supplies. Some claim it will also require warning labels on everything that might cause cancer.A day of esoteric science and incomprehensible jargon was predicted. But Bruce Ames, chairman of the department of biochemistry at the University of California at Berkeley, had plans to liven the proceedings.Walking into the room, Ames looked like the quintessential scientist: wire-rimmed bifocals, rumpled suit, tousled hair and a sallow complexion that showed he spent more time in his laboratory than in the California sunshine.As someone intoned about the mechanisms of carcinogenesis, Ames began to interject his own views."The whole world is chock-full of carcinogens," Ames declared.“A beer, with its 700 parts per billion of formaldehyde and five parts per 100 of alcohol is a thousand times more hazardous than anything in the water. If you have beer on your breath, does that mean you have to warn everyone who comes within ten feet of you?"In an era when headlines shout about the latest cancer scare, Ames has a different message: the levels of most man-made carcinogens are generally so low that any danger is trivial compared with the levels of natural carcinogens.Ames is not a quack. At age 59, he is one of the nation's most respected authorities on carcinogenesis. His resume is packed with honors, including the Charles. Mott Prize from the General Motors Cancer Research Foundation, one of the most prestigious awards in cancer research, and membership in the National Academy of Sciences.Even his critics say the Ames test —his simple, inexpensive laboratory procedure that helps determine whether a substance might cause cancer—is a remarkable achievement.But Ames slaughters sacred cows. He's taking on the environmental movement, which some have called the single most important social movement of the 20th century. In April1987, for instance, he and two colleagues, Renae Magaw and Lois Swirsky Gold, published a report in Science magazine that ranked various possible cancer risks.Based on animal tests of nearly 1,000 chemicals, the data show that daily consumption of the average peanut-butter sandwich, which contains traces of aflatoxin (a naturally occurring mold carcinogen in peanuts), is 100 times more dangerous than our daily intake of DDT from food, and that a glass of the most polluted well water in the Silicon Valley is 1,000 times less of cancer risk than a glass of wine or beer is.He's not advising people to stop consuming peanut-butter, beer and wine. What he's saying is that most cancer risks created by man are trivial compared with everyday natural risks, and it's not clear how many of these are real risks. Both types distract attention from such enormous risk factors as tobacco.Ames's cancer research began about 25 years ago over a bag of potato chips. Ames, then conducting research for the National Institutes of Health in Maryland, was reading the ingredients on the bag. It struck him that no one knew what each chemical did to human genes, and there was no easy way to find out.At that time, scientists testing for carcinogenicity had to setup time consuming and costly lab experiments on rats and mice. Armed with the knowledge that bacteria are sensitive to substances that cause mutation, and that carcinogens were likely to be mutagens, Ames developed a carcinogen test using bacteria. The Ames test was hailed as a major scientific development and is now used worldwide.One day in 1974 Ames, now teaching at Berkeley, suggested that some students test various household products. To his surprise, many common hair dyes tested positive, as did a flame retardant used in children's pajamas. Almost overnight, Ames became a hero of environmentalists when his findings led to new regulations and bans on certain chemicals.For the next decade public concern over carcinogens continued to rise. "Then," Ames says, "I started realizing something wasn't right." Too many natural substances also tested positive as carcinogens or mutagens: fruit juices, brown mustard , celery , parsley .In fact, about half of all chemicals tested by Ames—both natural and man-made—turned out to be potentially carcinogenic when given in enormous doses to rats and mice.Ames at first assumed he had erred with his test. He hadn't. His error had been making the common, but naive, assumptionthat only man-made chemicals could be dangerous. "Why assume nature is benign?" he now says.The campaign supporting California's Proposition 65 convinced Ames that he had a duty to explain this to the public. "When people said certain birth defects were caused by a part per billion of something in the water, I thought it irresponsible, " he says. "It's just playing with people's fears. You can always find a part per billion of something in the water."In testimonybefore a California senate committee, Ames noted that tap water, for instance, contains the carcinogen chloroform at about 83 ppb due to chlorination.But coffee contains two natural carcinogens at about 4,000 ppb each, while human blood averages 3,000 ppb of formaldehyde from normal metabolism.Some people assume Ames is a stooge for the chemical industry, which he is not. He does no consulting for the chemical, drug or food companies, or for law firms. And he accepts no grants from business.Environmentalists reject Ames's arguments, saying that we are obligated to keep the total exposure to carcinogens as low as possible. "Somehow he thinks there has to be a choice," says Carl Pope of the Sierra Club. "If we had to choose between TCE[a suspected cancer causing solvent] in drinking water and public education on cigarette smoking, maybe he's right. But we don't have to make a choice."Ames's reply:"You don't want every chemical company dumping their garbage out the back door. But the price you pay for living in a modern, industrial society is a few parts per billion of chemicals in the water. You can get rid of it, but at enormous cost. If you spend all your time chasing trivia, you lose sight of the important risks."。

The long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a sometimes fierce public debate with both sides claiming the mantle of ultimate righteousness.2. And so the euthanasists have begun to press their case with greater force.3. Cancer patients and sufferers from multiple sclerosis are the most frequent subjects of euthanasia in Holland.4. Last fall 19 distinguished British doctors wrote an open letter calling for the legalization of euthanansia for AIDS patients in the advanced stages of their illness.5. Some zealous actions by pro-euthanasists have supplied ammunition to those who contend that legalizing active voluntary euthanasia would be the thin edge of the wedge for a variety of abuse.6. Even in the Netherlands, the proposals now before Parliament would restrict euthanasia to a small number of cases and would surround ever those with elaborate safe guards.Unit31. ….a business transaction,even a chance remark may result immediately or ultimately in tragedy.2. To many of us , gambling is, in many cases, a non-toxic drug against boredom and apathy ,and may well help preserve good temper, patience and optimism, which will do us a world of good.3. As a matter of fact,few of us have the right to condemn gambling as few of us can say that they never gamble .4. If a man makes gambling an obsession ---almost a form of insanity-he will not only lose his property gained through years of toil, he will also lose his dignity and conscience.5…. if one sticks to his limits, it is more a game of fun than the root of all evils.6. …that gambling itself will lose its fascination as an opiate to a colorless and dreary existence .

You may also set out with the belief that the emotion has evolved into something rather sophisticated…3. …most people cannot will themselves to laugh on command or suppress an unwanted attack of thegiggles.4. Indeed, studies have shown that people are thirty times more likely to laugh in social settings than when they are alone, in the absence of pseudo-social stimuli like television.5. To many researchers laughter is about strengthening social bonds.6. Politicians and other public speakers understand the power of laughter to break down barriers and forge a connection with their audience.7. By inviting the audience to join him in laughter, Kennedy bridged much of the social sap between his wealthy, noble status and ordinary votes.8. But laughter can exclude as well as include, as another American president learnt to his cost.9. Gruner believes that laughter originated from the cry of triumph and mock that a fighter might utter when he defeats his foe.10. In the end, though, a convincing explanation of why people laugh must wait for more and better dataUnit 71. That cultural imperialism is said to impose American values as well as products, promote the commercial at the expense of the authentic,and substitute shallow gratification for deeper satisfaction.2. Globalization not only increases individual freedom, but also revitalizes cultures and culture artifacts through foreign influences, technologies, and markets. Thriving cultures are not set in stone.3. In some ways ,America is an outlier ,not a global leader .Most of the world has adopted the metric system born from the French Revolution ;America persists with antiquated measurements inherited from its British-colonial past.4. Local fare slues more eyeballs to TV screens than American programs. Although nearlythree-quarters of television drama exported worldwide comes from the United States, most countries’ favorite shows are homegrown.5. With one big exception: cinema .Yet Hollywood’s hegemony is not as worrisome as peoplethink .Note first that Hollywood is less American than it seems .To some extent ,then Hollywood is a global industry that just happens to be in American ..Rather than exporting Americana, it serves up pap to appeal to a global audience.6. Germans once objected to soccer because it was deemed English, now their soccer team is emblematic of national pride.7. English may be all-conquering outside American, but in some parts of the United States, it is now second to Spanish.8. Individuals are forming new communities, linked by shared interests and passions, that cut across national borders. Friendships with foreigners met on holiday. Scientists share ideas over the Internet. Environmentalists campaigning together using e-mail. House-music lovers swapping tracks online. Greater individualism does not spell the end of community.9. People may lament the passing of old ways. Indeed, many of the worries about globalization echo age-old fears about decline, a lost golden age, and so on.Unit 91. Few understand the magnitude of the potential tragedy; fewer still have a good idea of what to do about it.2. The Titanic’s passengers were mainly innocent victims, but the dilemma now facing society is largely of our own making ..And for us ,there is still hope.3. The 20 years since that meeting have seen the birth of a worldwide environmental movement, the emergence of thousands of grass-roots environmental organizations, and the proliferation of environmental laws and regulations on nations around the world.4. These fundamental assaults on the atmosphere are caused almost entirely by rich nations that use most of the fossil fuels and ozone-depleting chemicals .Yet the long-term costs will be borne by humanity as whole.5. In many nations environmental degradation is now recognized as a key barrier to governments’ability to meet basic needs and sustain living standards.6. Stabilizing the climate, for example, depends on restructuring national energy policies. Getting the brakes on population growth requires fundamental changes in social values and services. So far, onlya handful of countries have undertaken such initiatives.7. The growth in Third World jobs has fallen short of population growth, leaving tens of millions unemployed and hundreds of millions underemployed .Even more people lack access to clean water, adequate health care, and a full and balance diet.8. Once the self-reinforcing trends of environmental degradation and deepening poverty are too deeply established, only a superhuman effort could break the cycle and reverse the trend.Unit 21.长期以来“山雨欲来”的安乐死问题又沸沸扬扬的演变成一场激烈的公共辩论,双方都声称是为了最终的正义。
