是关于Chesapeake Bay的生态系统的保护。
第一，设定catch crab limits; 第二，引进 Asian Oysters clear the bay；第三，成立集训营，教育周边农民use less fertilizer.听力部分，教授反驳三条：第一，虽然catch striped bass 行得通，但是设定 catch crab limits行不通，渔民需要 crabs for the living, 后果严重，渔民不接受；第二；Asian oyster会带来diseases; 第三，教育不是一个 local question, 因为它涉及的河流，居民太多，所以行不通。
不用塑料袋人们改用纸袋，这种对环境的影响更大。
其实可以对塑料袋循环利用的。

大部分人会用布袋，可以用上好几个月甚至好几年，这样很环保。
塑料袋不能循环使用。
因为塑料袋会让机器损坏，工厂一般不接受塑料袋的回收利用。
这个地方禁用塑料袋会极大限制塑料的使用，这是好事。
此外人们到别的地方买东西，也会形成用布。

TPO21综合写作听力阅读范文独立写作范文托福写作机经
TPO21综合写作听力阅读范文独立写作范文托福写作机经TPO21综合写作：Reading:Genetic modifications, a process used to change an organism's genes and hence its characteristics, is now being used to improve trees. Through genetic modification, it is possible to create trees that produce more fruit, grow faster, or withstand adverse conditions. Planning genetically modified trees on a large scale promises to bring a number of benefits.First, genetically modified trees are designed to be hardier than natural trees; that is, they are more likely to survive than their unmodified counterparts. In Hawaii, for example, a new pest-resistant species of payapa tree has been developed in response to ringshot virus infections that have repeatedly damaged the native papaya-tree population. Planning the genetically modified papayas has largely put an end to the ringshot problem. Moreover, genetically modified trees promise to bring a number of economic benefits to those who grow then. Genetically modified trees tend to grow faster, give greater yields of food, fruit, or other products- and be hardier. This allows tree farmers to get faster and greater returns on their farming investment and save on pesticides as well. [hardy: resistant to cold, 耐寒]Finally, the use of genetically modified trees can prevent overexploitation of wild trees. Because of the growing demand for firewood or building timber, many forests around the world are being cut down faster than they can be replaced. Introducing genetically modified trees designed for fast growth and highyield in given geographic conditions would satisfy the demand for wood in many of those areas and save the endangered native trees, which often include unique or rare species.Lecture:Sure, there are some benefits of planting genetically modified trees, but are these trees really as great as they first sound? When you examine the subject closely, here are some serious problems and costs associated with using genetically modified trees.First, genetically modified trees may be resistant to one particular condition, but that does not necessarily ensure their survival. You see, a typical non-modified tree population is genetically diverse. That means that, for most threatening conditions, for climates, insects and other pests, whatever, there will be at least some individual trees or any given species of trees that are resisted. So even if most of one kind of tree are killed, those few resisted ones will survive and ensure the survival of that species of tree. But genetically modified trees are genetically much more uniformed, so if they are exposed to an environmental challenge they have not been designed for, they will all die. So if the climate changes or a new pest invades the area, the genetically modified trees will likely be completely wiped out.Now as the second point, there are hidden costs associated with growing genetically modified trees. You see, the companies that genetically modified the trees tend to charge farmers much more for each seed than unmodified tree seeds would cost. Also, as you've grown the tree, you cannot collect the seeds and plant a new tree for free. By law, you have to pay the company every time you plant.And finally, genetically modified trees might actually cause even more damage to the local wild trees. You see, genetically modified trees are often grown more aggressively than natural trees do. And genetically modified trees are typically planted among natural trees. As a result, the genetically modified trees out compete the native trees for resources: sunlight, soil, nutrients and water, eventually crowding out the natural trees.Integrated writing sample essay:The professor claims that there are serious problems and costs associated with planting genetically modified trees, challenging the view in the reading passage that planting genetically modified trees on a large scale promises to bring tremendous benefits.First, the passage says that genetic modification is a good way to protect the trees against harsh natural conditions or possible infections because they are designed to be hardier. However, the lecturer claims that genetic modification does not ensure their survival because these trees are genetically more unified. So, if their genes are not designed for a particular condition, such as climate change or invasion of new pests, they might be eradicated altogether.Second, the passage says that genetically modified trees tend to grow faster, give more fruits and therefore provide greater financial returns for the growers. However, the lecturer points out that this is not the whole picture, because the seeds of genetically modified trees are more costly and the law requires farmers to pay for the company for every genetically modified tree that is planted.Finally, the passage says that genetic modification is a good solution for the protection of wild trees from overexploitation.But the professor points out that these trees are genetically more aggressive and typically planted among the natural trees. They might out compete the natural trees for natural resources and eventually edge them out.独立写作：For future career success, is the ability to relate well to other people more important than studying hard at school?1P: 咩个人都渴望获得success，但成功需要付出extraordinary efforts，而且还需要an element of luck和一定的社会关系；因为这是一个强调团队合作和cooperation的时代。

托福独立写作机经范文5篇(关于大学教育等)
学校教育Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Colleges or universitiesshould offer students a better job preparation before they can start working. With the competition in the job market increasingly intense these days （随着就业市场的竞争越来越紧张）, college students are under great pressure even before they set out to hunt for jobs.Since it is in universities that students come to learn about and choose their future professions, it is of great significance for colleges or universities to prepare students in areas like making career plans, professional skills and cooperation with others（因为学生是在学校了解和选择未来的职业，所以学院或学校为学生做职业规划，工作技能或与人合作这样的领域的准备至关重要）..Colleges should offer students career planning courses which provide them with direction on how to set their goals and formulate a specific plan to achieve the goals. Many college students do not have a definite idea what they want to do in the future.A survey conducted in many universities over a period of ten years, however, suggests that those with clear goals are more likely to enjoy a successful career. Therefore it will be of considerable use for students to explore their interest and capabilities, as well as to set sensible targets for themselves.In addition, professional skills are a must at work in the future. Man universities focus on the impartation of specialized knowledge, overlooking the fact that professional skills are just as important and should be mastered by undergraduates. There should therefore be more courses that train students in skills which will be applied to their specialized fields. A biology major, for instance, should be capable of carrying out microbial experiments.Furthermore, courses on how to cooperate with colleagues are also needed for the reason that good cooperation is the prerequisite for satisfactory performance at work. Students should be instructed in methods for building good relationship with co-workers, for reaching a consensus on plans, and for distributing tasks appropriately. Not only will this kind of training benefit students’ efficiency at work, but it will exert a profound influence on their everyday life.Therefore, colleges should provide students with a better job preparation with the aim of helping them to achieve what they desire at work. Students, on the other hand, should seize the precious time in universities and try their utmost to get themselves prepared for the career after graduation.The friends that you can have fun with are more important than the friends that you can get help from?Friendship is regarded an indispensable part of life by most people. We cherish friends for a variety of reasons, ranging from the happiness they bring to the favor they do us. Some people maintain that the friends that you can have fun with are more important than the friends you can get help from. But in my view, both kinds of friends are of great importance and we cannot live with either of them absent from our lives.Elevate the learning efficiencyFriends we can have fun with, in some senses, are those who brighten our lives. People all need someone who can share their happiness. We can get a lot of pleasure out of time spent with friends, doing something we all take an interest in. I have some good friends at college, with whom I often go to movies, play sports and enjoy some delicious food that I’ve never tasted. Sometimes we even take a train and travel somewhere far away from our city. We can always enjoy ourselves together. When I am in low spirits, being with them never fails to cheer me up. Their friendship is what I will always treasure.Friends we can get help from, on the other hand, are just as precious to us. They may not necessarily be with us all the time, but they are those to whom we can always turn in our hour of need. Since we cannot manage to handle everything we are faced with, friends who are willing to help us are people we cannot live without. The encouragement they give us in gloomy days, the support they offer when we are in trouble, and the warmth they bring when we are dismayed, are what help us conquer our fear, face difficulties and keep endeavoring regardless of the hardships. As an old saying goes, ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’. Rather than expect to obtain something, these friends are ready to give us a hand at any time.In conclusion, friends we can have fun with and friends that will help us are of the same significance and neither can be ignored by us. Actually, there are friends that can help us and have fun with us at the same time. And they are friends that deserve to be cherished by us all our life.Compared with people who live in cities, people who live in rural areas can take better care of their families.I agree with the statement that people living in the countryside are able to take better care of their families than those urban residents. People who reside in cities have access to better education resources and health services, admittedly, but there are also many drawbacks that keep them from enjoying leisure time with families and paying close attention to family members’ physical or mental condition. People living in rural areas, on the contrary, are not confronted with these problems.People living in cities are eternally afflicted with stress imposed on them by competition, long working hours, congestion and so on. It is never a piece of cake to keep up with the fast pace of city life. As a result, it is really hard for them to spare some time to be with their families and enjoy the leisure hours. My father is a really diligent engineer who often works overtime. So it is not surprising that my mother keeps complaining about his coming home late. My father, in turn, is getting tired of these complaints. So stress of urban residents can have a negative influence on relationship between family members.In addition, in rural areas it is common to see people live with their parents, while in cities, sons and daughters usually have their own homes after they get married. Living with parents allows people to care for their parents, whose delicate health may be threatened in the aging process. Furthermore, it is always parents’ wish that their sons or daughters can spend more time with them, so living together is a real comfort for parents. There are thousands of empty-nest seniors in cities of China, while the elders in rural areas usually have at least one son or daughter living with them.Besides, the environment in the countryside is much better than that in cities. Children are exposed to the nature, having opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the wild. Kids growing up in cities, however, have to jump from one extra class to another arranged by their parents. When they are not doing their homework, what they do is just watching TV or surfing the Internet. Better education as they may receive, they are deprived of the happiness gained from the nature. Consequently, parents in rural areas can provide their children with more chances to embrace the nature and grow up in more agreeable surroundings.Admittedly, living in urban areas does have its positive facets, but there is no denying that people living in the countryside can take better care of their families. Many people move to cities in pursuit of their fortune, but what they have sacrificed may never be regained.The advice from grandparents has no use for their grandchildren because the world changed a lot during the past 50 years.Should we follow our grandparents’advice or not in today’s rapidly developing society? Positive. Although many people believe that experience of grandparents is obsolete with the society progressing at such a high speed, their advice is still of great value to us.To begin with, change as the society may, the basic criteria have been the same over the past 50 to 100 years. Grandparents’ opinion about what is right and what is wrong can still apply to today’s circumstances. Take my grandmother for example. When I lived with her as a kid, she would tell me stories about the virtues of ancient people, like the modesty of Confucius, the diligent of Kong Rong, and the intelligence of Zhuge Liang. I was fascinated with the characters and determined to be a person like them. Thus my grandmother’s advice helped to shape my personality.In addition, some traditional knowledge grandparents retain is still of great use today. Having been utilized by people throughout the history for thousands of years, the knowledge has been proved right and efficient, which is not going to change just because science and technology has developed. For instance, traditional Chinese medicine is known to many old people. In treating some diseases, the effect of Chinese medicine is amazing. Therefore the knowledge grandparents have may be still useful.Last but not least, our grandparents are aged, admittedly, but that does not mean that they do not change with the society. They may also have new ideas as we do. My grandfather is a good example. He pay close attention to political and economical events happening around the world. So it is unfair to assume that all the elderly people are old fossils. Grandparents’ advice can also keep pace with the society.OutdatedObsoleteIn conclusion, it is unfair to say that the advice from grandparents are of no use for their grandchildren. Instead of just ignoring what they say, we should listen to their advice and decide for ourselves whether we should follow it.Parents should allow their children to make mistakes and let them learn from their own mistakes.It is never easy to educate a child. Some people believe it is parents’ responsibility to tell their children what is wrong and prevent them from making mistakes. But it seems a wiser choice to allow children to make mistakes and let them learn from what they do themselves.The impression a mistake leaves on a child is considerably deep. It is right to say that making mistakes and correcting them is one of the best ways for children to become mature. When they make mistakes, they are supposed to take on the responsibility and make up for the loss they cause, which will not only make them remember the consequence of mistakes and try not to do the same thing again, but will help build up their sense of responsibility as well. If parents just tell their children what is right, they may never actually understand it.Another reason why making mistakes is important is that those who do not fear mistakes tend to be more creative. Only by attempting over and over again can people learn what is the best way to solve a problem. Children should be encouraged to try different methods and not to fear mistakes. Edison made thousands of mistakes before he eventually invented the light bulb. If he had been afraid of failure and had not tried so many times, we could still be using candles today.Admittedly, however, there are some mistakes that children had better not make. If the consequence of a mistake is severe and may not be compensated, it is not a good idea to allow children to make it. For instance, when the behavior of a child may offend the moral or law, the child’s parents should prevent the behavior without hesitation, otherwise they may regret not protecting their child later.In conclusion, parents should allow their children to make some mistakes because mistakes help children to grow up and come up with creative ideas. But some mistakes, on the other hand, should never be allowed to occur.。

本文将为大家提供一些托福机经范文，希望对大家备考托福考试有所帮助。
托福写作机经范文独立写作题目：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is better to take a risk and explore new things than to stick to familiar things.范文：I strongly agree that it is better to take a risk and explore new things than to stick to familiar things. There are several reasons why I hold this opinion.Firstly, taking risks and exploring new things can broaden our horizons and enrich our lives. If we always stick to familiar things, we may miss out on many opportunities to learn and grow. For example, if we always eat the same food and never try new cuisines, we will never know the pleasure of discovering new tastes and flavors. Similarly, if we always stay in our comfort zone and never take on new challenges, we will never know what we are capable of achieving.Secondly, taking risks and exploring new things can help us develop new skills and talents. When we try new things, we are forced to step out of our comfort zone and learn new things. This can be challenging, but it can also be very rewarding. For example, if we decide to learn a new language, we will not only gain a new skill, but we will also gain a new perspective on the world and its cultures.Finally, taking risks and exploring new things can help us overcome our fears and insecurities. When we take on new challenges, we are often faced with uncertainty and doubt. However, if we can overcome these obstacles, we will become more confident and self-assured. This can help us in all areas of our lives, from our personal relationships to our professional careers.In conclusion, I believe that it is better to take a risk and explore new things than to stick to familiar things. By doing so, we can broaden our horizons,develop new skills and talents, and overcome our fears and insecurities. Therefore, I encourage everyone to take risks and explore new things whenever possible.综合写作题目：The reading passage discusses the benefits of online education, while the listening passage casts doubt on the effectiveness of online education. Summarize the points made in the reading passage and the listening passage, and explain how they relate to each other.范文：The reading passage argues that online education has many benefits, while the listening passage casts doubt on its effectiveness. The reading passage points out that online education is convenient, flexible, and affordable. It also notes that online education can be just as effective as traditional classroom education, as long as it is designed properly. However, the listening passage challenges these claims, arguing that online education is not as effective as traditional classroom education.The listening passage provides several reasons for this. First, it argues that online education lacks the personal interaction and feedback that is essential for effective learning. In a traditional classroom, students can ask questions and receive immediate feedback from their teachers and classmates. In an online class, this interaction is often limited or nonexistent. Second, the listening passage argues that online education can be isolating and demotivating. Without the social interaction and support of a traditional classroom, students may feel disconnected and unmotivated to learn. Finally, the listening passage notes that online education can be difficult for students who lack the self-discipline and time-management skills necessary to succeed in an online environment.Despite these challenges, the reading passage argues that online education can be just as effective as traditional classroom education, as long as it is designed properly. The reading passage suggests that online education should be interactive, engaging, and personalized. It should also provide students with opportunities for social interaction and feedback, such as online discussion forums and virtual office hours. By doing so, online education can provide students with the flexibility and convenience they need, while still providing them with the support and feedback they need to succeed.In conclusion, while the reading passage argues that online education has many benefits, the listening passage challenges its effectiveness. However, both passages agree that online education can be effective, as long as it is designed properly. Therefore, it is important for educators to carefully consider thedesign and implementation of online education programs, in order to ensure that they provide students with the support and feedback they need to succeed. 托福口语机经范文独立口语题目：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is better to study alone than to study with a group.范文：I disagree with the statement that it is better to study alone than to study with a group. While studying alone can be effective in some cases, I believe that studying with a group has many advantages.Firstly, studying with a group can help us stay motivated and focused. When we study alone, we may become distracted or lose motivation. However, when we study with a group, we can encourage and support each other, which can help us stay on track and achieve our goals.Secondly, studying with a group can help us learn more effectively. When we study with a group, we can share our knowledge and expertise, which can help us learn more quickly and deeply. We can also ask each other questions and clarify our understanding, which can help us identify and correct any misunderstandings.Finally, studying with a group can help us develop important social skills. When we study with a group, we learn how to communicate effectively, collaborate with others, and resolve conflicts. These skills are essential for success in both our personal and professional lives.In conclusion, while studying alone can be effective in some cases, I believe that studying with a group has many advantages. By doing so, we can stay motivated and focused, learn more effectively, and develop important social skills. Therefore, I encourage everyone to study with a group whenever possible.综合口语题目：The reading passage discusses the benefits of volunteering, while the listening passage casts doubt on the effectiveness of volunteering. Summarize the points made in the reading passage and the listening passage, and explain how they relate to each other.范文：The reading passage argues that volunteering has many benefits, while the listening passage casts doubt on its effectiveness. The reading passage points out that volunteering can help us develop new skills, meet new people, and make a positive impact on our communities. It also notes that volunteering can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, both personally and professionally. However, the listening passage challenges these claims, arguing that volunteering may not be as effective as we think.The listening passage provides several reasons for this. First, it argues that volunteering can be a waste of time and resources, if it is not done properly. For example, if volunteers are not properly trained or supervised, they may do more harm than good. Second, the listening passage argues that volunteering can be a way for people to feel good about themselves, without actually making a real difference. Some people may volunteer simply to boost their own egos, rather than to help others. Finally, the listening passage notes that volunteering can be a way for organizations to exploit free labor, rather than to actually address social problems.Despite these challenges, the reading passage argues that volunteering has many benefits, both for individuals and for society as a whole. The reading passage suggests that volunteering can help us develop new skills, such as leadership and teamwork. It can also help us meet new people and build social networks, which can be valuable for both personal and professional reasons. Finally, the reading passage notes that volunteering can be a way for us to make a positive impact on our communities and to address social problems that we care about.In conclusion, while the reading passage argues that volunteering has many benefits, the listening passage challenges its effectiveness. However, both passages agree that volunteering can be a valuable and rewarding experience, if it is done properly. Therefore, it is important for volunteers and organizations to carefully consider the impact of their actions, in order to ensure that they are making a real difference in the world.。
托福独立写作机经范文5篇社会教育工作生活
精品文档The most important problems affecting our society today could be solved within our lifetime.As the economy and technology develop at an incredible speed in today's society, there are an increasing number of people believing that the most important problems affecting our societytoday could be solved within our lifetime. In my view, however, this is out of the question and the three most significant problems affecting the society, namely war, environmental destruction and disease, will still influence us and may not be entirely resolved forever.War is a problem afflicting humans since they took into being in the first place. Wars take placewhen different countries have conflicting benefits, which is unlikely to be eliminated as long asthe boundaries between countries still exist. For instance, in the Middle East where water is extremely scarce, many countries are in conflict in contention for water resources. Since everycountry acts for the sake of its own benefit, it seems that people in the region are incapable ofliving together in harmony. Eternal world peace, therefore, is unlikely to be achieved in ourlifetime.Environmental destruction emerged not long before but it is becoming increasingly severe and cannot be ignored. With the large-scale utilization of fossil fuels and rapid development of industry,huge amounts of pollutants are being produced, contaminating the environment to a large degree.The disposal of these pollutants being a tough task, it is hardly possible that we can completely getrid of them within a short period of time. Furthermore, even if we can come up with optimalmethods for dealing with these substances, there remains the problem that these methods may costtoo much and obstruct the development of economy.Last but not least, the well-being of people around the world is threatened by a variety of diseases, ranging from AIDS to cancer, the cures for which have not been discovered yet. Diseases set off panics among humans, affect their normal life and leave people badly off with the high medical expenses. There are thousands of scientists devoting themselves to finding cure for diseases, butnew types of diseases keep emerging and there is no eliminating all of them.In summary, the problems with the most significance today are going to be passed on to our offspring. To eliminate these problems thoroughly, there is still a long way to go..精品文档Some people think that a university professor should focus time on doing research, whileothers think that the main role of a professor is to educate students in a university.What is the main role of a university professor, to educate students or to do research? Some people believe that professors should focus their time on doing research, but as far as I am concerned, it iseducating that deserves more devotion of professors.To begin with, professors are teachers in universities, so it is their responsibility to teach studentswith absolute dedication and enthusiasm. University professors play an critical role in students' learning knowledge and the methods for learning, by giving lectures in class as well as assigningthem tasks to do using what they have learned. A good professor should be someone who canteach well and is patient with students.In addition, taking education as the main responsibility does not mean that professors are not supposed to do research. On the contrary, those who have achieved success in research tend to be better teachers. Doing research allows professors to have a broader horizon, enabling them to seizethe point of the science and technology today and to have a deep understanding of the knowledgethey are going to teach. Furthermore, professors who do research well may offer their studentsbetter opportunities to do research in the field they study.Admittedly, there are scientists who cannot teach well but stand out in their specialized field.Rather than teaching and doing research at the same time, I believe that they should concentrateon their research and not take the position as professors. There are many people who are merely researchers and whose achievement in their specialized areas is without parallel. As for professor,this occupation should be left to those who can give quality lectures and help students to learnwell.In conclusion, professors should regard educating students as their main responsibility and devote themselves to teaching. In today's society, however, there are some professors who do not teach students with dedication. They focus on research merely for money, which will not only do harmto students' study, but will hinder the development of science as well..精品文档It is often not a good thing for people to move to a new town or a new country because theywill lose their friends.Many people have had the experience of moving from one place to another. Some feels it a badthing because they will lose their old friends in the place they move from. In my view, however, itis anything but a bad thing. Not only will we keep in touch with our old friends, but we will makenew friends as well.With the modern communicating technology, distance is never a barrier that keeps people from contacting others. Even if people to a new town or a new country, telephone, email and instant message will allow them to keep in constant touch with their old friends without any inconvenience. Take myself for example. When I entered college, I had to leave my hometown for Beijing, thus I was separated from my friends in my hometown. But I called them every weekendand we often chat online when we are both free. So distance did not make me lose touch withthem at all.Furthermore, it could even be a good thing to move away for people and their old friends. Insteadof becoming estranged from each other, they will miss each other and thus become even more intimate. Not having conflicts over trifles, people will appreciate the merits of their friends more. There is a saying that ‘distance makes the heart grows fonder', which means that when people are separated by distance, they may like each other more. So distance is never a obstacle between friends.Moving to a new place allows people to make new friends, and that does not necessarily mean that people cannot maintain their old friendship. On the contrary, people can still stay in touch withtheir old friends, because one can never have too many friends. When it comes to my case, my old friends even came to be familiar with my new friends and they became friends before long.In conclusion, moving to a new town or a new country will not make people lose their old friends. Friendship is one of the most precious things that we have and deserves to be cherished by us allour life..精品文档It is more enjoyable to have a job which requires you to work only three days a week withlong hours rather than to have one which demands you to work five days a week withshorter hours.I would rather choose a job which demands me to work five days a week with shorter hours.Though three days of work a week will allow people four days of holiday in a row, during whichthey can go on trips, there are some drawbacks of working for longer hours and fewer days.To begin with, working for longer hours for only three days does harm to people's health. If every week there is three days when people get exhausted from their work, they are sure to run out of energy. The rest four days, on the other hand, is likely to be spent playing with friends. This styleof living may well leave people's life out of order. Take my experience for example. I haveworked day and night for three days in preparation for an exam. And after the exam, I went on atrip with my friends. When I returned school, I was exhausted because of lack of rest. So it is not a good idea to work for long hours and have too long vacation.Besides, having long holidays will keep you from working efficiently. People who work five daysa week tend to work with low efficiency the day after the weekend due to the fact that they cannot adjust themselves to working immediately. Then what will happen to people working only threedays while having four days off? They will be inefficient in one third of their working time. Letalone the fact they may easily be tired because they work too long on each of the three days.Last but not least, working for five days a week enables people to keep up with the latest progressof their work. Usually situations change frequently and a project may require constant attention. Ifpeople work for only three days a week, it is probable that they ignore what happens on the daysthey do not go to work. Thus they may fail to adjust their project according to the changes in time.To sum up, it is better to choose a job requiring people to work for five days a week with short hours, which will guarantee a health lifestyle, high efficiency as well as job quality..精品文档Since people care public recognition more than money, they will work harder to obtainpublic recognition even though there is no more money given.People usually work hard in pursuit of money as well as public recognition. But it would beradical to say that they will work harder to obtain public recognition even thought there is no more money given. Public recognition is what we obtain naturally while money is a must in our lives.To begin with, we all rely on money to satisfy our basic needs in order to survive. No one cansubsist without any money. The food we eat, the clothes we wear, the house we live in are allbought with money. There is a saying that ‘we cannot get everything with money, but we can get nothing without money', indicating the significance of money to our lives. How can a personowning high public recognition but no money survive in today's society? So if a job requiringmore effort provides people with higher public recognition but with no more money, I doubtwhether there will be anyone who want to undertake it.There do exist people who pursue public recognition, but those are usually the rich who alreadyhave huge amounts of money. Only when a person has enough money, will the person seek to gainthe acknowledgement of the society. It is money, rather than public recognition, that is the fundamental motivation of people who exert themselves to work harder. There are famous people doing voluntary work or undertaking charity cause, but they are just wealthy enough not to worry about money.Further more, public recognition is not always something desirable. People who enjoy high public recognition may be envied by others. More commonly, people are likely to be too curious abouttheir private lives, which will prevent them from leading a peaceful life like everyone else does. Therefore, it is not always intriguing to receive high recognition from the society.To sum up, I do not believe that people regard public recognition more important than financial income. Even if there are indeed some people working hard for recognition, mere recognition will never be their ultimate destination..。
7月0日托福写作真题解析
2013年7月20日托福写作真题解析综合写作:讲的是地球有一段时间（地球新纪元Epoch）气温特别高，两极地区都有热带生物存在。
文章给出了三个猜想为什么这样的温度激增会发生1 Change of ocean current from tropics to pole洋流改变方向，导致其热带的暖流流向两极。
2 Magnetic particles生热地球有一个岩层含有很多磁性颗粒，据此可以推论出当初有一次很大的陨石撞击地球（an enormous comet struck Earth）导致了温度上升3 Methane emitted from ocean海洋中的甲烷从海洋中释放出来加剧了温室效应,导致温度上升。
听力反驳：1 根据computer modeling of currents,确实有洋流，但带来的热量比warming需要的热量少的少，不至于使整个星球变暖。
2 新研究发现，那一层磁性颗粒magnetic particle 是一种primitive bacteria形成的化石，因此仅凭这一个证据不能证明是陨石。
3 大气中积累足够多的甲烷并释放热量需要上千年的时间才能导致全球变暖，然而资料表明甲烷释放和温度激增是同时发生的，所以不可能。

However, their good intentionscan sometimes manifest as a need to manage every aspect of their children’s lives.I think this is unproductive and unhealthy.First of all, this sets children up for a great deal of confusion and unhappiness later in life, when they discover that they don’t actually want to fol low the paths their parents set out for them. For example, I have several friends who are pursuing respectable careers that were predetermined by their parents, but almost all of these friends are unhappy and wish that they had chased their true passions instead. One is pre-med and wants to be a painter. Another is going into law but regrets not pursuing music. True, these types of passions may not be the most gainful or practical, but they can be highly rewarding and bring more contentment than well-paying careers that are of no personal interest. By letting children make their own choices, parents give children the chance to discover genuine happiness. Moreover, by allowing children to determine their own futures, you are teaching them a valuable life skill: independent decision-making. This can be a big professional asset, as it is crucial if you hope to be any sort of a leader. Children who have their lives directed by adults will come to rely on authority figures for guidance. Such children would feel helpless and lost when required to act autonomously, since they are so accustomed to others making big decisions for them. They would make excellent subordinates, but leadership positions would be out of their reach; people only follow those with the confidence to pursue their own ideals. By letting children make their own choices, parents train children to become good leaders.Finally, parents can improve their relationship with their children when they allow children to dictate the terms of their lives. Giving children a say in the matter shows that you respect and acknowledge them. When you make all of a child’s decisions for them, what you’re saying is: I don’t trust you to think for yourself. Children may not consciously realize this, of course, but they will feel it, and this will shape the parent-child relationship. Intimacy is incredibly difficult to achieve under this framework. But by letting children make their own choices, parents can open the door to a closer and warmer relationship with their children.A parent’s urge to control their kids’ life is understandable, but misguided. Though parents are just trying to ensure the best future for their children, it ends up doing more harm than good. In the long run, it is still best to let kids carve their own paths. (447, Richard)。

吸烟者应该为购买香烟付出比
较高的税，理由如下：
听力持反对意见，理由如下：
1. 吸烟者会减少香烟的购买数量。
1.较高的税收会让吸烟者去购买更加便宜，但是对身体危害更大的香烟。
2.对所有人都比较公平。
2.对收入不同的吸烟者不公平，穷人付不起高额税，而对富人不会产生任何影响。
3.增加政府的收入。
3.政府不全面禁止在公共场所吸烟是想将税收作为一项收入，会使得政府依赖税收。

题目Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is impossible to be completely honest to your friends.
简析此题是北美2011年12月17日的考题重现，这道题是非常典型的题目中含有绝对词（completely）的类型，我们在课上讲到过这类的题目比较合适的是用偏分，强化班的童鞋对这道题应该有印象的，我们在课上可是把这道题作为例题和大家讲解的哟，根据常识也知道，这道题应该同意，参考理由如下：
参考思路1. 让步：在大部分的情况下对朋友应该要保持诚实，毕竟诚实是维系友谊的前提（prerequisite），朋友一旦发现受到了欺骗，首先会非常的失望，更糟糕的是会失去信任（lose trust），信任没有了，友谊也结束了。
2.但是要做到完全诚实是不可能的，在很多的时候，谎言比真话的效果好，我们就不得不隐瞒甚至欺骗。
在鼓励别人的时候，谎言有时就比真话好，因为真相有时比较残酷（brutal），为了不让对方丧失信心（depressed），有时就会选择说谎（white lie），例如欧亨利的著名短篇小说《最后一片树叶》的故事。
3.为了避免尴尬（embarrassment）有时也会说
谎。
在很多场合，特别是一些社交场合，适当的谎言体现了对别人的尊重和礼貌，实话实说有时会显得很粗鲁（rude）并且无礼，例如在收到别人的礼物的时候，不管自己是否喜欢这个礼物，都必须当着送礼人的面告诉对方这个礼物很好，很喜欢；在有时不能当着其他人的面说自己的朋友发型很失败或者衣服不合适。
