If a child has good parents, he is fed , looked after and loved, whatever he may do . It is improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return . In addition , life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well—known .A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain , or in the snow . His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure.But a child has his pains : he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are :he is continually being told not to do things , or being punished for what he has done wrong . His life is therefore not perfectly happy.2、How to Behave in an Interview如何应付面试In order to make a good impression during a job interview , you need to prepare yourself for it .

Try to find out if the company or organization has rules about dress . Then try to dress according to their regulations .You also need to plan what you are going to say . In some interviews you will have to do a lot of talking , and in others you will only have to answer a few questions about your education and experience . You need to have answers ready about yourself , your schoolwork , your strong points , your reasons for applying for the job , and the salary you expect .You will also be allowed to ask some questions .

Does the company provide health insurance? Does the company provide opportunities for further education?4、Should College Students do Part-time Jobs? 大学生应当做业余兼职吗Most students think that doing part-time jobs when studying at college can provide them with an opportunity to get in touch with the society . Also , some students do part-time jobs to support themselves. They are said to work through college.However , it’s not easy to find jobs which are suitable for students . Some jobs requiring long hours of tedious work under tough conditions may do harm to their health . Besides , some jobs may expose them to the negative aspects of society—dishonesty and corruption.Therefore, students should take a second thought in deciding whether they should do part-time jobs or what kind of jobs they should choose. If they are lucky enough to take a good job , it will benefit them enormously . Otherwise , it may waste their time and their energy.5、A Reply to a Birthday Party 对参加生日聚会的回复Dear Henry,Happy birthday to you !I got the invitation to your birthday party yesterday morning .

There is not any possibility of canceling it .I will go to see you as soon I am back I am sure you will have a great fun at the party!Sincerely yours,Jane 6、My View on E-mail我对电子邮件的看法Electronic mail , or E-mail for short , is a new way of communication by means of computers . Fast , cheap and convenient, E-mail is so popular that it has become an indispensable means of communication. Millions of computers all over the word have been connected to form a global network, namely the Internet, You can send and receive by E-mail documents , letters and papers to anyone in other countries in no time . By using E-mail you can also store ,delete, compile information. In a word, E-mail helps you overcome spatial and time limitations in communication.With the rapidly growing popularity of computers and the expansion of information highway , E-mail is expected to play a more and more important role in our lives.8、Career Hopping跳槽Today , growing numbers of men and women are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater appeal to them . Many of those who find that their work is unsatisfactory retrain themselves for a different occupation.Job changes and careers shifts occur at all ages. It is estimated that as many as one out of four male workers between the ages of twenty and twenty-five change their lines of work. About half that number do so between the ages of twenty-five and forty-for . Some married women combine child-rearing responsibilities with new career lines.Motives for changing careers vary widely , but many people move because they feel bored with the dull routine. For some , a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing , and they decide to do what they enjoy. Most go back to school to get the training they need to make the shifts.11、Turn off your mobile phone关掉你的手机With the development of information technology and reduced price of communication products, the mobile phone has become a necessity for people .It is obvious that it shortens the distance between people and makes our life more convenient . Thanks to it , it’s easy for us to contact others anytime and anywhere.However, have you noticed that the mobile phone also brings embarrassment to people? It’s not rare to see people pressing the mobile phone to his ear and shouting loudly in public as if there were no one else present . It is more than likely that you have noticed that the mobile phones ring continuously on a formal occasion. People around them have to listen to the noise and they can’t concentrate on what they’re doing12、A healthy lifestyle健康的生活方Dear James,I am glad to get your letter. Do you still feel stressful? As far as I know , a lot of people live in a way that is wearing themselves out . In fact , life doesn’t have to be like that . It is wise to bear an important principle in your mind ——managing time. To make it simple , decide what you want in your life, and put that first. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life, just do it! Take a nap, or a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. Anyhow, we should do something for ourselves. I hope you can manage your life! Stay cool! Yours faithfully,Linda14、Making a phone call or writing a letter打电话还是写信When there is a need to communicate with people, we either make a phone call or write a letter,. Some people like making a phone call while others prefer writing a letter.The advantage of phoning is evident. It is handy and fast. We can contact whomever we want to and talk with him right away. By making phone calls, people can discuss things as if they were in the same room. However, there are still some people who prefer to write letters. There is no doubt that letters are less expensive than long-distance calls. Besides it is a better choice for those who are not good at expressing themselves orally. However, it takes days, even weeks for a letter to reach its destination.Both making a phone call and writing a letter are effective means of communication. It seems advisable to make use of them both on different occasions.15、A letter of application应聘信Dear sir:I was pleased to see your ad in the newspaper on December 25th for a sales engineer. In July I will receive my bachelor’s degree in Electronic from Nanjing University, and I would like to be considered for the post.I believe I am a competitive candidate for your post because both my education and work experience meet your requirement. Besides degree courses concerning electronics, I also took such courses as marketing, Consumer Behavior Strategies. Last summer, I participated in an electronic project, from which I have gained practical experience in this field.I would welcome an opportunity to join your company because your post is what I’ve been preparing for. If you feel that I might be the right person for the job I would be ready for an interview at your convenience. I am looking forward to your reply!Sincerely yours,Zhou Fang16、A letter of complaint投诉信Dear sir:I am writing to complain about one of your bus drivers, who was so rude to the passengers.Yesterday, I was taking the bus No. 133 to school. It was about 9:30 in the morning. It was not the rush-hour and there were not many passengers on the bus. But the driver drove so fast and he didn’t slow down even when the bus turned round street corners. One of the passengers asked him to drive slowly but he did not listen. When the bus reached the next stop, a man stood up and walked toward the door. The driver stopped the bus so suddenly that the man could not keep his balance and fell on the floor. The driver didn’t make an apology and asked him to get off the bus right away.I think that public bus system should serve the public whole-heartedly. The safety of passengers should be the major concern. It is my sincere hope that proper measures ought to be taken to prevent such incidents from happening again.Yours sincerelyLiu Yuan 17、My favorite mode of travel我喜欢的旅行方式With the improvement of people’s living standards, more and more people are making a holiday trip to places of interest. While many like to join package tours for convenience’s sake, I prefer to travel by myself.I like traveling on my own not only because it costs less but because it gives me freedom. Traveling on my own, I’m my own boss and can decide when to start or where to linger I can adjust my own plan. By contrast, in a package tour you’re deprived of such freedom as you are supposed to follow the agenda of the tour team.True, you may encounter inconveniences if you travel along; getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals might give you headaches. But nothing can be compared with freedom—the freedom which is vital to a preson who takes a holiday trip to be free from constrains of the routine life.3、Supermarkets超市People all over the world shop in supermarkets. When you enter supermarkets , you will see shelves loaded with goods . You will hear soft , light music as you walk along the aisles , Food in supermarkets seem to be very attractive.A large supermarket is a big business . In adition to food items , many other goods such as house wares , school supplies , toys , clothing , magazines and even books are sold in supermarkets . It is a place where housewives frequent . It tries to meet her needs so that when she leaves, she’ll shop nowhere else.Supermarkets are becoming more and more popular . There is no doubt about it —more and more housewives around the world will soon be standing in the check-in line.9、The Young and the old年青人与老年人When the young man starts to earn his own living , he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes , and his room , but has to work if he wants to live comfortably . If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child , he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health , he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be ; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy . With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life ; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them ; and , perhaps best of all, they can , if their life has been a useful one , feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.10、Electricity and our life电力与我们的生活Since its invention , electricity has found wide applications in industry , agriculture and scientific research . it is so essential to our daily life that , without electricity , we could not enjoy modern comforts because home appliances would function. Without electricity , we could not cook food , wash clothes and watch TV.Roughly , there are three ways to save electricity. First , we should produce electricity-saving home appliances. Second , remember to turn off the light when you leave a room . Lastly , we should change our way of life . Avoid as much as possible the “artificial life ” powered by electricity.13、Education-preparation for society教育——为走上社会作准备Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life.Because of the development in modern education, many people avail of the opportunities to receive college education. But there are not enough positions for people with university degrees. Besides, some graduates refuse to do what they think “low”jobs—work with hands is thought to be indecent.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us should do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, that we must realize that all jobs are necessary to society.7、Living in a City-a Crazy Idea住在城市-疯狂的念头Tired of the city life, some city-dwellers opt for city suburbs as their residence. They are flocking there to avoid people-in the city, wherever you look, it’s people , people, people.It’s not strange for them complain about the living conditions in the city . It takes ages for a bus to get to you because the traffic on the roads has virtually come to a standstill. The subways which leave or arrive every few minutes are packed: an endless procession of human sardine tins. All the simple , good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium . Tall buildings blot out the sun. The flow of traffic goes on continuously and the noise never stops.Decades of years ago , people were crazy about crowding into the city . Now more and more people believe that only a madman would choose to live in a large modern city.。
