大学英语三作文(五篇材料)
大学英语三作文(五篇材料)第一篇:大学英语三作文不管你认不认为以下文章写得比你的好,每个人都应该从以下每篇文章中学到很多,认真读一读,值得!The lifestyle I preferThe question whether the city or the country is better for us has long been debated and is never out of date.As far as I am concerned, they are more complementary(补充的)than contradictory(反对的)to each other.In fact, a lot of people appreciate the country life just because of its peaceful atmosphere, friendly neighbors, closeness to nature, clean environment and the gentle pace of living.But sometimes we exaggerate the pastoral lifestyle 夸大田园牧歌式的生活方式of the country.The first cock crow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees are truly idyllic enough for us to forget the loneliness and boring long winter, the poor selection of goods and the inconvenient transportation in the country.From my point of view, cities can provide us with the best that life can offer.Our friends are always available for a get-together.We can enjoy a variety of environment, seeing the latest film, going shopping in the downtown, visiting museums and libraries, etc.We can also have an easy access to education and medical treatment at the same time.Though city life gives us a lot of pressure, I believe we can handle it with a happy mood as a certain amount of pressure can provide motivation to our life.In addition there are a lot of parks for us to remain closer to the nature.主要学习本文在列举时语言的精炼The lifestyle I preferWhen it comes to the question of preferred lifestyle, mostpeople will choose the easy, free life with no hesitation.But I would rather live a busy life in cities.The following are my reasons: To begin with, busy life is efficient有效率的 and makes me feel fulfilled.Being busy means every minute counts.As a result, I am supposed to adjust to the quick pace of life and tackle装备,固定,处理everything with systematic系统的and effective approaches.Sometimes I have to be a multi-tasker.As the saying goes, high pressure leads to high efficiency.When I handle all the tasks right, I surely feel strong sense of achievement and enjoy every minute of such busy life.Second, living a busy life, I can experience more.As is known to all, experiences generate thoughts.Rich experiences not only bring me precious laughter or tears but also provide me with the possibilities to reach into the inner part of matters which lays the foundation for a wiser mind and a broader st but not least, since time is pressing, I will cherish every moment with my family and my close friends and these memories will become more unforgettable.All in all, busy life is appropriate to me and I enjoy my busy lifestyle.How to cope with changes in lifeLife is like a kaleidoscope with several kinds of changes taking place at anytime.Maybe you will be promoted to be a manager or you will move from the uptown to the downtown.Other possibilities like losing your job, saying goodbye to your best friends may come to your life.Anyway, we can’t escape from changes in our life.Then how to cope with changes in life? As far as I am concerned, there are three key points.Firstly, you should make yourself aware of the changes in your life.That is to say, you have to see the changes clearly and then study them for whys and hows.Secondly, take action.After careful study, you must make plans and carry them out step bystep.Apart from the above, due attention should be paid to your mood.Your proper mood will accelerate the process of adjusting to the changes in your life.In a word, remain cool to face the changes that come along.Make full use of your wisdom to turn the changes into wealth of your life.How to cope with changes in lifeChange is an even greater reality in contemporary life and it is occurring at an accelerated pace.Faced with changes, should we evade or face up to them? Here are some suggestions: First and foremost, embrace it.Instead of asking yourself why I am having these changes, be thankful that you are given an opportunity to come out with a new, improved and emotionally healthier self and a new life.Besides, you can take some time to adapt yourself to these changes.Don’t always get yourself stuck in the old situations nor should you take actions in haste in case you make wrong decisions.What’s more, make yourself creative to respond to changes st but not the least, you should go on enriching yourself with knowledge.It not only help us cope with current changes smoothly and successfully but also help us be prepared for changes to come.In conclusion, you should be brave to face up to changes instead of escaping.be patient and smart to cope with those changes.Be optimistic to try something new to be well prepared for changes that will happen in the future.On SecurityIn current society, the rising crime rate has been brought into public attention.For one thing, with the fast development of our economy, the gap between the rich and the poor is wider than before.Due to the fact, some people commit crimes as counterattacks to the unfair society.For another, an increasing number of people nowadays lack the basic self-control and morality.This situation apparently requires ourconcern.As I see it, we should call on everyone to battle this unpleasant phenomenon.Undoubtedly, our government should take effective measures to fight against the rising crime rate.By putting criminals in court and prosecuting起诉them, we can deter other people from following their steps.Meanwhile, more emphasis重点should be laid on morality as well as laws.We should raise each member’s awareness of their r esponsibility and duty.In my regard, as long as we make joint efforts, the crime rate will surely drop.We should bear in mind the significance of a safe and harmonious society since we are all part of it.A better social environment will benefit all of us in the long run.On SecurityNowadays, rapid economic development has been a boon, however, the crime rate is rising as well.Every day, we can see or hear of many crimes reported in the newspaper or on TV.Sometimes, we may be affected by criminals.Even on campus, crimes happen often.Our mobile phones may be stolen on the bus;our new bike is gone even when locked;the freshmen are cheated to buy things of poor quality.Such incidents are too numerous to be listed.We all dream of a secure atmosphere, then how to achieve this?A harmonious society calls for every citizen to work together.On the one hand, the government should strengthen the effective enforcement of law to prevent crimes.In addition, they need to give publicity to law and social moral excellence.On the other hand, as a citizen, we need to obey the law and never do anything illegal.In order to avoid being affected, we should have a good knowledge of how to save ourselves when we are in danger.We need to be cautious at anytime and anywhere.In this way we can be bathed in the sun of security.On SecurityIn recent years, the problem of crime has become increasingly serious, and more and more people voice growing concern about it.Nowadays people are worried about themselves because of the increasing crime rate.It is more than necessary that all of us joined in the efforts to fight against this phenomenon.Then how to cut down the crime rate effectively and enhance the sense of security? As far as I am concerned, first, we should help the criminals find the hope of life.If this matter is not properly settled, it will pose a threat to national security.In the second place, we should concentrate on what the criminals really go in for.If we know this, we can meet their demand and solve the problem st but not least, we need to establish some laws to punish the criminals so that they will be afraid of committing crimes.From the above analysis, only when all of us join in the efforts of reducing the crime rates can we have a harmonious society.On SecurityIn modern society, security has become the biggest concern, as the crime rate is rising.Everyone begins to worry about himself, so we now face a tough issue: how to decrease the crime rate effectively.As far as I am concerned, the local government should be responsible.They should offer more job opportunities for the unemployed.Statistics show that if there are more unemployed people in the city, more crimes will happen.On the other hand, this can narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.What’s more, we have to make sure that the next generation receives proper education about what is virtuous and what is wicked.Then we may have a peaceful life again.If anyone has some work to do, our society will become more secure第二篇:大学英语综合三Scholars of the information society are divided over whethersocial inequality

Unit 1A decade ago, Nancy did what so many Americans dream about. She quit an executive position and opened/ set up a household device store in her neighborhood. People like Nancy made the decision primarily for the improvement in the quality of their lives. But, to run a small business on a small scale is by no means an easy job. Without her steady income, Nancy had to cut back on her daily expenses. Sometimes she did not even have the money to pay the premiums for the various kinds of insurance she needed. Fortunately, through her own hard work, she has now got through the most difficult time. She is determined to continue pursuing her vision of a better life.Unit 2Shortly after he achieved freedom Henson became intent on assisting fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. Later he built a small settlement in Dresden, Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, and the day was bound to come whenracial discrimination no longer existed.Unit3It is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Make sure/Assure yourself that you don't leave the door on the latch if you happen to be the last to come in. If you decide to buy a sophisticated electronic alarm system, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. In addition you may have it hooked up to a police station. Unit 4What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the UN declared it "The World Year of Physics". It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein's theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.Unit5Amid the atmosphere of Thanksgiving, rather than joining his friends in celebration of the holiday, George was immersed in the diary left to him by his father, who died at sea after he completed two successive trips around the world. The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf. George's father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence. He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted. Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop's famous saying "Gratitude is the sign of noble souls" and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it. Unit 6II. Translation Here and there we see young artists who stand out from other people. They may be in worn out jeans all the year round, or walk barefoot / in bare feet even in winter, or drink to excess, or cling to the fancy of creating a masterpiece without actually doing any creative work. In fact, many of them act like this just to look the part, or to be "in tune with" other artists. They have forgotten that only through persistent effort can one achieve success.Unit 7Translation Tom was born a cripple, with one of his lower limbsuseless. Early in his childhood, he learned that unless he so exerted himself as to rise above his limitations, he could not earn a living, and unless he succeeded in making a living on his own, he could not win/gain the respect of others. That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being. Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a Pizza Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a sports wear company in a territory no one else would want. Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him on straight commission.Unit 8Dolly the sheep resulted from a cloning experiment by a group of Scottish scientists in 1997. A fierce debate on human cloning has ever since been going on. This contentious issue had focused on ethical and social implications of the technology: what the technology might do to the very meaning of human reproduction, child rearing, individuality, et cetera. The majority of scientists are adamantly opposed to reproductive cloning and support therapeutic cloning for treating diseases. The reason is that therapeutic cloning does not involve any type of risk to human life and actually provides tremendous potential for the relief ofsuffering in human beings. Scientists believe that with policies and monitoring in place to ensure that therapeutic cloning is used safely, we canal benefit from this procedure.。

Unit 10 Reflections on LifeSample OneThe Virtues of Being Young and Being OldBeing young is a wonderful thing. We are always trying to find ways to keep ourselves young for as long as possible. When we compliment someone on their young appearance, they will feel proud and happy. Why is youth so preferred or favored? It's because youth is the bright and colorful scenery of life. Young people have glorious ideas and are full of dreams. They have energy, time and optimism. Youth is a time for realizing dreams. Looking back on one's youth will bring the finest memories.Being old is also wonderful. The aged are respected by society. They have experience so people turn to them when they are in trouble or when they need advice. Old people are a source of knowledge and experience for the young. Although they dream less than before, they're more confident about themselves thanks to their knowledge and experience. Those who worked hard when young will be able to appreciate their achievements and keep good memories of their past.Being young, we must take every opportunity to improve ourselves so that when we are old, we will have no regrets about our youth.Sample TwoThe Virtues of Being Young and Being OldLife is strange and at different phases of your life you can do and enjoy different things. When you are young, you learn to understand the meaning of life. When you are old, you see life more clearly and enjoy what you have achieved before. There are many differences between young people and old people.Young people are equipped with a good memory and strong muscles to gain knowledge and experience. They can learn lots of things whenever they desire. Youth is the most important part of a person's life. Young people are vigorous and energetic, though they tend to be impulsive. They face challenges with passion and are open to new things. They are unwilling to stay in the same place and always want to keepmoving. It won't take long for them to recover from disappointing failures, especially when they can get encouragement and advice from people around them. It seems natural for them to make great progress in their studies and work.The advantage of being old is that your strength lies in your knowledge and experience. Old people can do things quickly without too much energy or vigor and it won't take them too long to come up with a reasonable decision. Their most important virtue is that they can teach the young how to do things well or how to be successful, and how to avoid unnecessary loss or failure. Those who are concerned with young people are always respected by others. Young people hope they'll be able to know the world as the old do sooner or later.So if we are positive, we can always feel good about ourselves whether young or old.Unit 9 MusicThe Power of MusicMusic is the universal language of mankind. Music is everywhere. We can hear it in restaurants, airports, railway stations, supermarkets, department stores, banks, hospitals, and many other public places. Music of all kinds is now available, and tapes and CDs are not very expensive.Music plays an important role in our everyday lives. Music can express emotions that arebeyond speech and give us a better feeling about ourselves and about everything around us. It can change our attitudes towards many things.When we feel sad, music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life which can cheer us up; when we are tired and bored, music can make us relaxed, it has charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. When we are working or studying, music can provide us with a pleasant environment so that we can work or study more efficiently. Music can make people work faster and with more energy. The best, most beautiful, and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each other is by music. Music can also lull the babies to sleep and can even make cows produce more milk. In a word, music is irresistible and life without music would be boring and monotonous.Unit 8 Nature or Nurture"Which Has Had More Influence on You, Heredity or Environment?"Sample OneI both benefit and suffer much from heredity. A short stout figure, an introverted personality, and unimaginative but rational mind: all of these traits come from the genes passed on to me from my parents. But family, schools, and society work together to shape what I am today.My parents are both sport lovers, which makes me fond of physical exercises and turns my frame into a strong body. My honest parents punish me severely whenever I lie or make empty promises, thus I've learned the importance of personal integrity. At school I've learned to help others, to care for others and also to improve my reasoning and understanding skills. Learning about various positive and negative examples of behavior from the media and other sources of information, I have set my own moral standards regarding what to do and what not to do, what to like and what to hate.Environment can change a person completely no matter where he was born and what he genetically inherited from his parents.Sample TwoI always believe that a person can succeed in doing anything he feels interested in. Your environment provides all sorts of opportunities and the things necessary for your personalpursuit and achievement.Which has had more influence on you, heredity or environment? This is a difficult question to answer.First, let us examine the influence of heredity. All my classmates call me "Fat Yu" because I am fat. My father is also fat, so I can't help connecting my fatness with his! Although I can't be absolutely sure that it comes from my father, I do think that I probably have a gene which he passed on to me and which determines my body build or shape.Aside from that gene, my father gave me many excellent qualities. For example, I think I am good at abstract thinking. My father is an engineer and he often tells me that he was very good at Math and Physics at middle school and college. So thanks to these genes of his I got into this university.However, I have many other characteristics, which may come from the environment I grew up in. For example, my father and mother are conservative and traditional. They lack a spirit of adventure and they have a hard time understanding many of the new things in China today. I, on the contrary, have the desire to explore and I hope I can become a pioneer of reform. I often have many original thoughts and ideas. All changes takingplace around me whet my appetite for exploration.In conclusion, I think both heredity and environment have influenced me greatly. Heredity created me, but environment has improved me.Unit 7 The Joy of TravelTraveling Is WonderfulIn school we always study hard and rarely have time for play and relaxation. During our vacation, we can do what we like. Some students go swimming, watch TV, go to the cinema, etc. But all I want to do is to travel.Traveling is interesting. You can see a lot of fascinating things and you can learn about history. Three years ago, I went to Beijing. When I was in the Summer Palace, I walked through the famous Long Corridor, admiring the beautiful pictures drawn on it. In the Imperial Palace, I saw a lot of rare treasures I had never seen before. I went to the Great Wall as well as the Ming Tombs. After visiting these famous places, I can’t help feeling proud of my great motherland.I think it is important to travel to different countries, if possible, so that you can learn about different cultures and customs. It can widen your knowledge of the world. In addition to learning new things, you can also discover the beauty of nature by yourself. When you are on the top of a mountain, you can breathe fresh air, you can see green scenery below and you can hear the sounds of nature. It is a very wonderful feeling.Now I’d like to invite you to go on a trip with me. Can you refuse?I Enjoy TravelingI enjoy traveling. I even consider it as a part of my life. When winter vacation approaches, the question for me to ask is not whether I should travel but where I should travel.I find traveling can do me a lot of good when I look back on my trips. Traveling brings me knowledge and pleasure. It puts me in a good mood. When I go back to my studies, I work more happily.As for knowledge, traveling helps me learn a lot about local customs and it broadens my views. Three years ago, I went to the “European City”in Wuxi, where there are many models of European architecture. During that trip I learnedsomething about Europe. Sometimes, traveling can bring me unexpected pleasure, too. Last year, two friends and I went to a small town near the Tai Mountain. The fact that the town had beautiful scenery and low expenses made us overjoyed.Traveling is uplifting because it is relaxing and we can get rid of our anxiety and stress during the trip. If we travel together with our friends, we can improve our friendship through the shared experience. We can also meet new people and make new friends.In the future, I plan to do more traveling.Unit 6 AnimalsAnimals Should Be TrainedThere are a wide variety of animals in the world. And many of them are highly intelligent. So if we train some animals to work for human beings, we can save a lot of money and manpower.First, some kinds of animals can be trained based on their capacity to do certain types of jobs better than humans. For example, since dogs have a superior ability to track down odors, we can train them to find illegal drugs, earthquake victims, or even ancient tombs.Second, some animals can even lend us their hands. The monkey is a good example. Monkeys can be trained to learn to open doors, fetch tools, bring books, etc. So they can help those who cannot move about freely because of some physical problems. Monkeys make the lives of these people happier and more comfortable.Finally, in some cases, using animals not only saves money but also trouble. Using dolphins as underwater guards can be better and cheaper than any man-made tracking devices.In a word, animals should be trained to help humans. If we train animals in the proper way, both humans and animals can get along very well.Give Animals Their FreedomHumans and animals are both creatures of nature, so we are equal. We have no right to take advantage of them. However, many animals are now being trained to work for us. Monkeys are trained as servants, dogs as hunters and sniffers, and dolphins as soldiers.Beasts should be allowed to run freely over great distances and birds, fly freely in the blue sky. When they are in nature, they are active and able to live a normal life. But when they are kept in captivity, they are bored and frustrated.If we have the right to choose our fate, so do animals. So when we force them to serve us, they have no freedom and are like slaves. What’s more, a lot of animals lose their lives when they help humans. But most humans don't care about their lives at all. As we know, life belongs to us only once and therefore is priceless, and it is also true with animals. But we show no mercy to animals when they have done so much for us. We are cold-blooded creatures and we should criticize ourselves.In brief, we should treat animals in the same way we treat other people. Give animals their freedom.Unit 5 LanguageShould Learners Aim to Speak English with a Native-Speaker Pronunciation?Sample OneIn my opinion, there is no point in aiming to speak English with a native-speaker pronunciation. For most people, it is a waste of time.First, language is a tool for communication among human beings. If people we meet understand what we are saying, that is all that is necessary. We do not need to imitate native speaker's pronunciation. In any case, there are many types of accents, so which one should we choose to imitate?Second, the most important thing is how well we organize what we want to express. Our ideas should be clear and easy to understand. To do so, we should be able to use right words and correct grammar.Third, given the fact that we live in China, it seems a little bit pointless for us to trydesperately hard to get rid of our national accent in order to speak BBC English.Finally, each of us has our own style when we speak. If we can give free rein to personal style, the English-speaking world will become more colorful and more interesting.In a word, I prefer to speak with my characteristic and recognizable pronunciation, so long as listeners can understand me.Sample TwoYes, I think it is important to aim for native-speaker pronunciation. First of all, I think perfection is always a good goal in any aspect of language-learning. We aim for perfect grammar, so why not perfect pronunciation?Second, the purpose of learning a language is to communicate with native-speakers or people from other parts of the world. The better my pronunciation is, the more easily they will be able to understand me. And I want people to understand me without any difficulty.Third, English is now an international language and I would like to be part of that community. If my pronunciation is like a native-speaker's, I will blend into the community more naturally. I'll feel pleased if I am taken for a native-speaker. Even if I can't speak so well, I don't like to spoil the language by terrible pronunciation.So learners should aim to speak English with a native-speaker pronunciation.Unit 4 Career PlanningApplication LetterSample OneMay 5, _____Apartment 2E3465 Boulevard EastDallas, TX 75221Fidelity National BankP.O.

Your writing must cover the following two points:1)disadvantages of pessimism2)way(s) of overcoming pessimismSample OneIt is believed that pessimism often leads to hopelessness, sickness and failure, while optimism usually brings happiness, good health and success. Pessimists also make those around them very miserable. Therefore, pessimists should change their way of thinking and overcome the negative aspects of their personalities. Here are a few tips for them:1. Try to smile more often. A smile has great power. It can chase sadness away. It will make you and other people feel happy. And it may even make things easier and better. Smiling in themorning makes a good beginning for the day. A smile is the most important sign of optimism.2. Build up your self-confidence. Try to discover as many of your personal strengths as you can. Then write them all down. Read them several times when you are getting ready to do something or when you are facing difficulties. Your list will help you see your abilities.3. Change your way of thinking. Don't always think that things will go wrong or that if they do there will be terrible results. Instead, convince yourself that things will improve and that you can work hard to help improve them. If you fail, think about what you have learned from the failure. If you succeed, praise yourself. Don't be too modest! There is nothing more encouraging than self-praise.Try your best to become an optimist.Sample TwoAre you an optimist or a pessimist? If you're a pessimist, here is some advice for you.As everyone knows, pessimism is harmful to people. It makes you unhappy and unhealthy, and even brings depression, loneliness and failure. Pessimists tend to suffer more failures and setbacks because they don't believe they can succeed and thus don't struggle for it. Optimism, by contrast, can make you happy, healthy and successful. So it is good for you to change yourself from a pessimist to an optimist.Here are some suggestions for you to become an optimist:1. Remember that everyone experiences failures and disappointments. So when you fail, don't blame yourself too much. It may not be your fault.2. When you fail in something, profit from the failure as a learning experience instead of getting depressed. And next time, you can make your plans to be more successful.3. When you fail, don't be discouraged. Try again. Don't let negative thoughts hold you back. Just give yourself another chance. So never give up just because you failed.Pessimism is harmful, but it can be changed. Trust yourself and try to adopt an optimistic attitude, and then you will be a winner in life more often.。

新世纪大学英语综合教程3作文部分
Unit One FriendshipAs is commonly acknowledged / It is commonly recognised that humans are social animals. Bonded together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, peopl e have different notions / ideas. Some make friends for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more peopl e long for "soul pals"— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call "true and perfect friendship".1. Bob and I became brother-like friends in our childhood. We played, dined and discussed our ambitions together. Once grown up, he started for the West to make his fortune while I became a policeman in New York. Before his departure, we had dinner together and we agreed that we woul d meet at the same place exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come. Then came the day we were supposed to meet. I was on my beat then. Walking up to the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, I saw a man standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. Before I coul d speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of Jimmy Wells. When he struck a match to light his cigar, I saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. I recognized him immediately. It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the Chicago Police. For a moment I felt like telling him to escape right away. After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had travel ed all the way to see me! But then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. I said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “I’ll wait forhalf an hour. Jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” I then sent for a plain clothes man and had Bob arrested.2.An Important Friend in My LifeLi Qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. He is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever "sunshine and butterflies". One day, I revealed to him my worries and anxieties: I, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. I thought no boy woul d like to date me. Besides, I was very poor at my academic courses.He suggested that I should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university. Encouraged, I decided to change myself. After a 3-month training program on weekends, I could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, I coul d concentrate on the required academic courses as well. The applauses I won at each fashion show and the scholarship I earned proved that being myself was terrific. Since then, my life has changed a l ot. Thus, Li Qiang became an important friend of mine.Last semester, we began to help young people who suffer pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems. We set up a Confidence Club. Those who come to us for help find our work definitely beneficial. Our friendship has l ed me into a sparkling, rewarding life.Unit Two Love2.What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities —Chongqing University of Technology andBusiness and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: Wh at do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life? About one third of the stud ents chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top priority by just und er 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard upon marriage and family life as central to a happy life.Unit Three Happiness1. Man Does Not Live by Bread AloneNo one woul d doubt the truth that man’s existence relies essentially on material things. We need them to get fed, clothed and sheltered. Once we are living near the breadline, we’ll feel frustrated and miserable.However, our contentment does not merely lie in material things. This is especially the case in modern times. The fast-developing economy has noticeably improved our lives andfulfilled most of our material needs. Then there comes the need of spiritual satisfaction, which is derived from good health, close friends, a loving spouse, well-raised children, a home built on love, a clear conscience, a worthy goal and an enjoyable job. Whil e material things may lose their charm over time, spiritual satisfaction will bring us lasting happiness. Therefore, to live a happy life, we should focus more on those things that meet our spiritual demands. After all, when our need for bread is met, happiness will not come unl ess we feel spiritually satisfied.Unit Four Health1. AIDS Across the EarthAIDS has killed and is threatening to kill millions all across the earth. Several million infections are reported by WHO each year. The virus does not care whether you are black or white, male or female, young or ol d. It will attack you as l ong as you are a human. Today, AIDS has become the leading killer of young adults and is turning the chil dren whose parents suffer the disease into orphans. It is no exaggeration to say that we live und er the shadow of AIDS.There are several possible causes for such a situation: unsafe sexual intercourse; sharing or reusing contaminated needles; transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products; an infected person’s pregnancy, giving birth and breastfeeding, etc. Unfortunately, our ignorance, prejudice and silence have carried the situation to a desperate extreme. Patients are isolated or treated as outcasts by their families and their communities. AIDS victims feel ashamed to be identified as such and try hard to hide their disease. For this reason, they cannot get immediate medical treatment. Our harmful attitudes towards the disease and its victims have actually placed more people at risk.In our fight against this deadly disease, we should educate people on how to avoid being infected with the disease and how to lead a healthy and secure life and, more importantly, how to treat AIDS patients properly. Only in this way can we really bring AIDS und er control.Unit Five Education1. The Significance of Lifelong EducationDecades ago, due to the low standard of living in China, only a small percentage of the nation's population could receive college education. Once given the opportunity, one would surely secure a well-paid and much-respected job, which he or she would probably do for a lifetime. Therefore, to secure a college degree used to be the ultimate goal of a person's education.Today, however, we are living in what is called a "knowledge society", where creative ideas and innovations are generated at a fantastic speed. One must constantly renew one's knowledge and upgrade one's skills so as to meet the needs of the changing world. Moreover, at the stage of general education, it is pointless for a person to attempt to know everything. When one is required to settle down to be a specialist in a specific field, one has to make an in-depth study of the subject one is supposed to know. In this sense, general education can provide students with only a passport to lifel ong education. As Robert Maynard Hutchins once said, the object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.In my opinion, life in modern society is not only a process of "learning to live" but also a process of "living to learn". The slogan "Live and Learn" can best reflect the concept of lifelong education.Unit Six Intercultural Communication1. My Views on Cultural DifferencesIn my opinion, cultural differences have more advantages than disadvantages. First of all, it is cultural differences that make our world so colorful. If you go to a foreign country, you will be impressed not only by its physical environment but also by its cultural environment —its foods, clothes, customs, social practices, etc. Differences between cultures have always been a source of joy and inspiration.Secondly, differences in culture enrich human civilization. Different cultures compete with as well as learn from each other. Roman culture was model ed on Greek culture, which had once borrowed a l ot from Egyptian culture. American culture is also a blend of many different cultures.Thirdly, differences in culture give each culture its unique identity. A culture is usually seen in relation to other cultures. Chinese culture distinguishes itself from others by its peculiar concepts and things that can hardly be found elsewhere.Of course, cultural differences may cause conflicts and misunderstandings. But interdependence, common interests and mutual goals of different nations always outweigh differences in culture. Nations with different cultures shoul d learn from each other and live peacefully together. To this end, we shoul d be more tolerant to other cultures while preserving, protecting and developing our own.Unit Seven The Olympic Spirit2. Benefits from Hosting the Olympic GamesJuly of 2001 witnessed a wave of national excitement in our land: Beijing had won the bid to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. It symbolized the strength of our country androused our national pride.Since then a l ot of changes have taken place in Beijing. Citizens of Beijing are now enjoying better transportation facilities, and the physical environment has improved significantly. With the construction of athletic venues, municipal infrastructure and other relevant facilities, new job opportunities have been created. A boom in Olympic-related businesses and industries has taken place not only in Beijing but also elsewhere.Hosting the Olympic Games is also a mega cultural event. It is a good opportunity to increase the international profile of the host city. Now more and more people are drawn to Beijing, and there has appeared a new boom in tourism. Preparations for the 2008 Olympic Games have given rise to numerous cultural and educational programs focusing on the citizens' commitment and dedication to this international event. Such programs have not only generated a widespread interest in sports but have also promoted the citizens' social, cultural and ethical visions. We must try our best to capitalize on this opportunity as fully as we can.Unit Eight Man and Society1. How to Survive in a Competitive SocietyCompetition in present-day society is fierce and cruel. It exists in different lines of work. For example, different musicians compete for each seat in their orchestra, and different orchestras compete for the privilege of making recordings with prestigious studios. Footballers compete for positions within the same team, and they work together to compete against other teams for championships. In short, whatever we do, we may feel the pressure of competition.However, instead of deploring competition, we should see the interrelationship betweencompetition and cooperation. Cooperation and competition exist side by side and they are both unavoidable in human society. For example, while competing with other factories, producers and distributors of the same factory must cooperate and make coordinated efforts to satisfy the needs of customers. Business rivals have to cooperate with one another when their common market is threatened. Therefore, competition alone will not bring us success in what we are doing.In the face of competition, we should keep acquiring new skills and updating our knowledge so as to enhance our competitive ability. At the same time, we shoul d learn the techniques of cooperating with others in the most effective manner.。

Unit 1A decade ago, Nancy did what so many Americans dream about. She quit an executive position and opened/set up a household device store in her neighborhood. People like Nancy made the decision primarily for the improvement in the quality of their lives.But, to run a business on a small scale is by no means an easy job. Without her steady income, Nancy had to cut back on her daily expenses. Sometimes she did not even have the money to pay the premiums for the various kinds of insurance she needed.Fortunately, through her own hard work, she has now got through the most difficult time. She determined to continue pursuing her vision of a better life.Unit 2Shortly after he achieved freedom Henson became intent on assisting fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. Later he built a small settlement in Dresden, Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination on longer existed.Unit 3It is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Make sure/Assure yourself that you don’t leave the door on the latch if you happen to be the last to come in. If you decide to buy a sophisticated electronic alarm system, be sure to ask for its sings and put them up on both windows and doors. In addition you may have it hooked up to a police station.Unit 4What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the United Nations declared it‘The World Year of physics’. It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.Unit 5Amid the atmosphere of Thanksgiving George was immersed in the diary left to him by his father, who died at sea after he completed two successive trips around the world. The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and may of the specific things his father did on his behalf. George’s father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence. Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop’s famous saying “Gratitude is the sign of noble souls” and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.Unit 6Here and there we see young artists who stand out from other people. They may be in worn-out jeans all the year round, or walk barefoot/in bare feet even in winter, or drink to excess, or cling to the fancy of creating a masterpiece without actually doing any creative work. In fact, many of them act like this just to look the part, or to be in tune with other artists. They have forgotten that only through persistent effort can one achieve success.Unit 7Tom was born a cripple, with one of his lower limbs useless. Early in his childhood, he learned that unless he so exerted himself as to rise above his limitations, he could not earn a living, and unless he succeeded in making a living on his own, he could not win/gain the respect of others. That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a pizza Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a sportswear company in a territory no one else would want. Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him.Unit 8Dolly the sheep resulted from a cloning experiment by a group of Scottish scientists in 1997. A fierce debate on human cloning has ever since been going on. This contentious issue has focused on ethical and social implications of the technology: what the technology might do to the very meaning of human reproduction, child rearing, individuality, et cetera.The majority of scientists are adamantly opposed to reproductive cloning and support therapeutic cloning for treating diseases. The reason is that therapeutic cloning does not involve any type of risk to human life and actually provides tremendous potential for the relief of suffering in human beings. Scientists believe that with policies and monitoring in place to ensure that therapeutic cloning is used safely, we can all benefit from this procedure.。

But riding a bicycle costs too much time, in order to not be late for work, I’d rather take the sub way. It is very fast and cheap. How do you think, A?A: uh, although subway is convenient, it is not been popularized. Many places don’t have subway.何:I think so too. The above transportations are all in the precondition of short distance, if you want to go to a distant place, which will you choose, plane, or train?C: if time is urgent, I will choose plane.D: me too. Plane is the safest transportation that has less accidents than others.A:I don’t agree with you. I like train more than plane. T aking a train is cheaper than taking a plane. And with the development of technology, we can take the high-speed rail if the time is urgent. Meanwhile, we can look the roadside scenery to relax ourselves. And before taking the plane, there is so many procedures we have to take.何: all your sayings are very reasonable. In a word, choose your favorite to take.。

When I got home, and took the camera out of its box, I was not very pleased to find that it had some scratches across the front. Later, the shop assistant I spoke to said it was my responsibility to check for scratches before leaving the shop. This would, however, have been impossible as the camera was in a plastic-covered box.A more serious problem is the fact that the color of pictures taken indoors is abnormal. Once again the shop assistant was very uncooperative when I mentioned this and told me that I wasn’t operating the camera properly.He finally agreed to exchange the faulty camera for another one as long as I could provide the receipt. When I explained that I had accidentally thrown it away, he refused to exchange the camera, which I think was very unfair since he knew very well that I had bought it in your shop.So, I am sure you will understand why I feel so annoyed and frustrated by the whole incident. I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future, either to offer me a complete refund or to exchange the original camera for one which is actually in decent working condition.Yours faithfully,Zhang LiZhang Li。

Unit 1A decade ago, Nancy did what so many Americans dream about. She quit an executive position and opened/set up a household device store in her neighborhood. People like Nancy made the decision primarily for the improvement in the quality of their lives.But, to run a business on a small scale is by no means an easy job. Without her steady income, Nancy had to cut back on her daily expenses. Sometimes she did not even have the money to pay the premiums for the various kinds of insurance she needed.Fortunately, through her own hard work, she has now got through the most difficult time. She determined to continue pursuing her vision of a better life.Unit 2Shortly after he achieved freedom Henson became intent on assisting fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. Later he built a small settlement in Dresden, Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination on longer existed.Unit 3It is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Make sure/Assure yourself that you don’t leave the door on the latch if you happen to be the last to come in. If you decide to buy a sophisticated electronic alarm system, be sure to ask for its sings and put them up on both windows and doors. In addition you may have it hooked up to a police station.Unit 4What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the United Nations declared it ‘The World Year of physics’. It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s theory of relat ivity and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.Unit 5Amid the atmosphere of Thanksgiving George was immersed in the diary left to him by his father, who died at sea after he completed two successive tripsaround the world. The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and may of the specific things his father did on his behalf. George’s father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence. Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop’s famous saying “Gratitude is the sign of noble souls” and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.Unit 6Here and there we see young artists who stand out from other people. They may be in worn-out jeans all the year round, or walk barefoot/in bare feet even in winter, or drink to excess, or cling to the fancy of creating a masterpiece without actually doing any creative work. In fact, many of them act like this just to look the part, or to be in tune with other artists. They have forgotten that only through persistent effort can one achieve success.Unit 7Tom was born a cripple, with one of his lower limbs useless. Early in his childhood, he learned that unless he so exerted himself as to rise above his limitations, he could not earn a living, and unless he succeeded in making a living on his own, he could not win/gain the respect of others. That was theprice he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a pizza Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a sportswear company in a territory no one else would want. Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him.Unit 8Dolly the sheep resulted from a cloning experiment by a group of Scottish scientists in 1997. A fierce debate on human cloning has ever since been going on. This contentious issue has focused on ethical and social implications of the technology: what the technology might do to the very meaning of human reproduction, child rearing, individuality, et cetera.The majority of scientists are adamantly opposed to reproductivecloning and support therapeutic cloning for treating diseases. The reason is that therapeutic cloning does not involve any type of risk to human life and actually provides tremendous potential for the relief of suffering in human beings. Scientists believe that with policies and monitoring in place to ensure that therapeutic cloning is used safely, we can all benefit from this procedure.。

Unit51. The Significance of Lifelong EducationDecades ago, due to the low standard of living in China, only a smal l percentage of the nation's population could receive college educati on. Once given the opportunity, one would surely secure a well-paid and much-respected job, which he or she would probably do for a li fetime. Therefore, to secure a college degree used to be the ultimate goal of a person's education.Today, however, we are living in what is called a "knowledge societ y", where creative ideas and innovations are generated at a fantastic speed. One must constantly renew one's knowledge and upgrade on e's skills so as to meet the needs of the changing world. Moreover, a t the stage of general education, it is pointless for a person to attemp t to know everything. When one is required to settle down to be a sp ecialist in a specific field, one has to make an in-depth study of the s ubject one is supposed to know. In this sense, general education can provide students with only a passport to lifelong education. As Rob ert Maynard Hutchins once said, the object of education is to prepar e the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.In my opinion, life in modern society is not only a process of "learni ng to live" but also a process of "living to learn". The slogan "Live a nd Learn" can best reflect the concept of lifelong education.2. Should Family Schooling Exist?Meng Mu Tang, a private school in Shanghai, is modeled after the e ducational system of ancient Chinese home schools, which favored rote memorization and recitation of classic works. But the local edu cation authorities in Shanghai have declared it illegal according to a report in 21st Century. Should family schooling exist? What role sh ould it play?In my opinion, family schooling should be permitted to play a positi ve role in the current educational system in China. Every family sho uld be free to choose the form of education that best suits their child ren's interests and natural gifts. Although the existing education syst em in China has remarkably improved, it does not fit each child perf ectly. Since family schooling provides a means to develop a person' s talents and unique interest, Meng Mu Tang, as a private school ge ared to a specific group of children, should not be banned in haste. I n view of the current dynamic, quality-minded educational reforms i n China, we should permit family schooling to enrich and diversify our educational system.On the other hand, home schooling should adapt itself to the moder n world. To prepare children for the future, it should equip them wit h knowledge and innovative power so that they can cope with the de velopment of the modern world. While tapping children's innate talents on an individual basis, family schooling should never neglect the ir all-round development. Meng Mu Tang may not be a perfect priva te school, but we should let it live and have a try so that family scho oling may eventually become an indispensable component of our fo rmal education.Unit61. My Views on Cultural DifferencesIn my opinion, cultural differences have more advantages than disad vantages. First of all, it is cultural differences that make our world s o colorful. If you go to a foreign country, you will be impressed not only by its physical environment but also by its cultural environmen t — its foods, clothes, customs, social practices, etc. Differences bet ween cultures have always been a source of joy and inspiration. Secondly, differences in culture enrich human civilization. Different cultures compete with as well as learn from each other. Ro man culture was modeled on Greek culture, which had once borrow ed a lot from Egyptian culture. American culture is also a blend of many different cultures.Thirdly, differences in culture give each culture its unique identity.A culture is usually seen in relation to other cultures. Chinese cultur e distinguishes itself from others by its peculiar concepts and things that can hardly be found elsewhere. Of course, cultural differences may cause conflicts and misunderstandings. But interdependence, co mmon interests and mutual goals of different nations always outwei gh differences in culture. Nations with different cultures should lear n from each other and live peacefully together. To this end, we shou ld be more tolerant to other cultures while preserving, protecting and developing our own.2. My Views on the Influence of Western CultureOn weekends, I gather with my friends at MacDonald's or KFC. We eat fried chicken, drink Coco-cola and talk about the latest release o f Hollywood movies. We read foreign novels, listen to Western mus ic and watch NBA. We admire Bill Gates, George Michael and Prin cess Diana. We dress ourselves in the Western style and celebrate C hristmas and Valentine's Day. Our way of life has thus changed. Ind eed, the influence of Western culture is strongly felt in our everyday life.This influence in turn prepares us well to blend into the modern wor ld and participate in the world market competition. But we should n ot ignore its side effects. Our national culture may gradually lose its ground if our attention is focused only upon Western culture. In foll owing the trend of globalization we should maintain our own cultur al identity, cherish our cultural tradition and develop our own cultur e. What Mahatma Gandhi once said can best sum up my views on the influence of Western culture: "I do not want my house to be walle d in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures o f all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any."Unit71. My favorite Sports Team: the Chinese Women's Volleyball TeamIn quite a few sports, Chinese women athletes outshine men athletes . As a girl, I always feel proud of our women table tennis players, ba dminton players, women divers and gymnasts. But my greatest enth usiasm always goes to the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team, who, though it has undergone some ups and downs, always presents a po sitive, inspiring image to the public. I've never missed any major TV shows involving the Chinese women's team. I can't help getting exc ited watching the girls shine in court, with their amazing spikes and blocks, and their never-ceasing courage and faith in winning the mat ch. There are times when they lose the game, sometimes with embar rassing result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer a lot of injuri es and new players do not match up to the veterans, yet, one must a dmit that the Chinese girls have been practising very hard all the wa y.Recent years has witnessed a difficult period for the team when Russian, American, Cuban, and Brazilian teams are rising in ranking and winning championships, but I still have faith in our team and give t hem my support. I wish them good luck in the coming Olympics.2. Benefits from Hosting the Olympic GamesJuly of 2001 witnessed a wave of national excitement in our land: Beijing had won the bid to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. I tsymbolized the strength of our country and roused our national prid e.Since then a lot of changes have taken place in Beijing. Citizens of Beijing are now enjoying better transportation facilities, and the phy sical environment has improved significantly. With the construction of athletic venues, municipal infrastructure and other relevant facili ties, new job opportunities have been created. A boom in Olympic-r elated businesses and industries has taken place not only in Beijing but also elsewhere.Hosting the Olympic Games is also a mega cultural event. It is a go od opportunity to increase the international profile of the host city. Now more and more people are drawn to Beijing, and there has app eared a new boom in tourism. Preparations for the 2008 Olympic G ames have given rise to numerous cultural andeducational programs focusing on the citizens' commitment and dedication to this international event. Such programs have not only gen erated a widespread interest in sports but have also promoted the citi zens' social, cultural and ethical visions. We must try our best to cap italize on this opportunity as fully as we can.Unit8Writing1. How to Survive in a Competitive SocietyCompetition in present-day society is fierce and cruel. It exists in di fferent lines of work. For example, different musicians compete for each seat in their orchestra, and different orchestras compete for the privilege of making recordings with prestigious studios. Footballers compete for positions within the same team, and they work together to compete against other teams for championships. In short, whatev er we do, we may feel the pressure of competition.However, instead of deploring competition, we should see the interr elationship between competition and cooperation.Cooperation and competition exist side by side and they are both un avoidable in human society. For example, while competing with oth er factories, producers and distributors of the same factory must coo perate and make coordinated efforts to satisfythe needs of customers. Business rivals have to cooperate with one a nother when their common market is threatened. Therefore, competition alone will not bring us success in what we are doing.In the face of competition, we should keep acquiring new skills and updating our knowledge so as to enhance our competitive ability. At the same time, we should learn the techniques of cooperating with others in the most effective manner.2. Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush Hours? I am amazed to read what a blogger says about offering bus s eats to the elderly. He claims that "it's the young who need it more" because they go to work early in the morning and feel exhausted aft er a day's work. The blogger also argues that it is unfair to offer seat s to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides, and suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment.I could never bring myself to agree with the blogger. Taking good c are of the elderly is a universally accepted standard of conduct. In m y opinion, offering seats to our elders is not just an indication of goo d manners; it is a moral issue. I always consider it my moral obligati on to help others. Yes, you may feel comfortable for a while by rem aining in your seat, but you will lose your character and moral value s in the long run. Respecting the elderly is also our social conventio n. It is precisely out of our love and respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are offered to them. No one can depriv e senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they like,and what's more, we should make sure they get special care when th e bus is fully packed with passengers.Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually sati sfying experience for everyone involved. It is through。
