研研究生英语读写佳境作文

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

Unit Two (Text A)Vocabulary & StructureA. 1. elaborate 2. prosecution 3. controversial 4. ammunition 5. compassion6. response7. hospitalized8. surged9. moderately10. zealTranslation B.1. Quite a few terminally ill patients ask their doctors to use deadly drugs to them to be relievedof suffering; there are also some of their families who would prefer that doctors withdraw any life-prolonging treatment since there is hopeless to cure. This problem has lately boiled over into a fierce public debate in some European countries.2.Those who are opposed to ‘Euthanasia’ believe that it is no different from murder and that it isunethical, while the pro-euthanasists contend that since the incurably ill consider their existence more of a torment and suffering, why not let them end their lives in a decent and humane way? We ought to respect the patients’ final decision.3.The fear that ‘mercy killing’ will be abused or used unnecessarily is not groundless. But witheffective measures rigorously taken by the government and the departments concerned, and under tightly controlled conditions in hospitals, this problem would most probably be resolved in the end.Unit Three (Text A)Vocabulary & StructureA. 1. backwards 2. a babe 3. chance 4. odds 5. smites 6. splash 7. shinning8. hasty Translation B1.That we take the plunge to try is all to struggle against ourselves or our destiny, and thus realizing our values. The result is either to fail , to succeed after suffering hardships or some pride on himself due to constant care by the God..2.If a man makes gambling an obsession, he will not only lose his property gained through years of toil, he will also lose his dignity and conscience. Therefore it is advisable that they beat a hasty retreat from such an indulgence and be away from the sea of troubles.3. On the bright side of the coin, we win in the struggle against destiny, and the odds are in our favor, then gambling is no longer a toxic drug, rather it is one against boredom and apathy, and may well preserve our good temper, patience and optimism, which will do us a world of good.Unit 5 Text AVocabulary & structureA. 1. bane 2. anecdotes 3. mundane 4. stimulus 5. intriguing 6.epidemic 7. bout 8. pathologicalTranslation B.1.The role of laughter is more complex than people have imagined. People laugh for a variety of reasons. People laugh not only when they feel good, but in response to mundane statements and in uncomfortable situations as well. For example, when people are surprised at funny-looking things, their natural reaction is laughter. Something seems awkward for a moment and people don't know what to do, so people laugh. Even in a threatening situation, laughter may serve as a way of calming down the tense atmosphere.2. Why do we laugh? A convincing explanation waits for more confirmation. But people all over the world are convinced that it is pretty good to laugh. Laughter enables people to keep mentally healthy and laughter functions as some kind of social signal to strengthen a social bond because studies have shown that people are more likely to laugh in social settings than when they are alone. and it can break down barriers and forge a connection with each other.Unit 7 Text AVocabulary & structureA. 1. tyranny 2. will dissolve 3. flock 4. deem 5. lament 6. fragment 7. have a finger in every pie 8. hark back to 9. be relevant to10. be tailored to11. carve out niches 12. notch upTranslation B.nguages are vehicles of value systems and of cultural expressions and they constitute a determining factor in the identity of groups and individuals. Yet, it is reckoned, more than fifty per cent of the world’s 6000 languages are on the verge of becoming extinct. And, as a matter of fact, one language disappears on average every two weeks. Many factors contribute to language extinction. But the English language prevalent worldwide is certainly to blame and its hegemony is worrisome.2. There is overwhelming/compelling evidence that the United States is undoubtedly a global leader in many ways. While exporting its high-tech products and commercial artifacts, the United States is imposing American values on the world. Therefore, some people turn their noses up at globalization, fearing that it is in fact equivalent to Americanization. Such fears are not over-blown.Unit 9Text A V & SA. 1. undermining 2. hinges on 3. espouse 4. inhabit 5. paradox6. have stagnated7. predicament8. jeopardize9. wake up to 10. inextricably Translation BB. 1. At the global level, the environmental movement has already been under way for decades and the public awareness of environment protection has been correspondingly enhanced. In spite of this, the health of Mother Earth is still deteriorating at an unprecedented rate. Many people can’t help wondering how long it will take for human beings to turn things around.2. Without abiding by the basic ecological principles, some underdeveloped countries have achieved rapid economic growth in the past decades but at the expense of the environment. To make matters worse, they have failed to put effective brakes on the overgrowth of their populations. As a result, environmental degradation and population expansion are driving anever-increasing number of people into poverty.。

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

Writing1.Directions: You are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled “Leading Childrenin the Right Direction”. An outline has been given below.1)中国许多儿童优越的生活环境2)媒体对儿童造成的不利影响3)我们应该如何引导和教育儿童Leading Children in the Right DirectionSince the reform and opening up of China, our country has made great progress. Our world is now full of different colors and opportunities, especially for children. Children who have been regarded as flowers of our motherland are now taken better care of. They are really living in a very comfortable environment.This is good but it is sometimes bad for them since the golden age of innocence seems to have disappeared. The new generation of Chinese live in a culture saturated with Hollywood movies, rock music, and media which confronts them with sex and violence. As Children are naturally vulnerable both emotionally and spiritually, these things affect children most seriously.What shall we do so as to protect children from the media which seems to be seeping into every aspect of our lives. Obviously, there is no sense in trying to protect children from exposure to it because it is almost inevitable. We should teach them from an early age how to interpret what they are seeing. Teach them to dismiss sex and violence as tasteless trash. We can also use media at our disposal and show children the wonders of the world, inspire and stimulate them. It is our responsibility to lead them in the right direction.2.Directions: You are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled “Health, Wealthand happiness”. An outline has been given below.1)不同的人对健康、财富和幸福的不同看法2)健康、财富和幸福之间的相互关系3)保持乐观的心态十分重要Wealth, health and happinessAs to what are the elements of happiness, the answers can be varied greatly. Yet, it is universally acknowledged that the most essential constituent is health. Without a fit body and sound mentality, how can you take on genuine smiles everyday? Then what about health, can it bring you happiness? It may be not. It is true that if a person possesses large sums of money, he or she is allowed to buy a wide range of articles, such as books, clocks, houses, but by no means will he or she be able to exchange them for knowledge, time and home. Without this spiritual fulfillment, they would still find it hard to be truly immersed in happiness.Nowadays, health has become an increasingly concerned topic among people from all walks of life. Different people adopt different measures to obtain health. Usually those who spend generous amount of money on exotic gourmet food and beauty saloons are anything but happy, because those fat-laden food may build up on their waist and years may still wrinkle their face and they may easily regain their weight by the smallest cheese burg. These can be the best proof of the truth that money can not buy health. But happiness, on the contrary, may generate health to some extent. A happy mind can take you everywhere. So long as you maintain a jocund mood, health will no longer be far away.Wealth, health and happiness are the common aspirations of everyone, but only those wise enough can achieve them at the same time. So try to strike a balance.3.Directions: You are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled “Which Is Better,Working in a Multinational or as a Civil Servant?”.

And yet, there is also a growing trend for graduating students to prepare for civil servant recruitment examinations to work for the government office.To be a white-collar in a multinational company or to be a civil servant, each has advantages and disadvantages of its own.First, a job with the former means high pay but longer working hours. They have to weigh the loneliness of being away from home against the opportunity to make new friends.Second, one might be able to develop his or her abilities rapidly and fully in a high competitive environment, which of course also makes his or her jobs an extremely tiring and stressful one. However, in my hometown, sheltered by family influence and surrounded by good friends, one might never meet the challenge of developing his or her unknown potential.Third, promotion in a multinational company is based largely on one’s merits and contributions, therefore one does not have to worry too much about strained relations, though it is by no means easy to get promoted in such companies.Despite all the advantages of being a white-collar, I have a strong desire to be a civil servant.For one thing, it is a stable job and has little risk in work and life in general.For another, the pay rises for civil servant has shown that working for the government is getting very desirable. Most important of all, I enjoy working for people, for the general public. So instead of being my mother’s baby all my life, I’ll make parents feel proud of me.Working in a multinational Company or as a civil Servant?Today, seeking a job with a multinational company is still one of the best choice for many university graduates.

研究生英语读写佳境课文译文及答案(Units1-8)

研究生英语读写佳境课文译文及答案(Units1-8)第一篇:研究生英语读写佳境课文译文及答案(Units 1-8)第一单元有安吉尔瀑布和德弗尔峡谷的Canaima生态之旅我把包扔进后座,来到旅客一排座位,滑进前面的座位。

一会儿车轮转动,我们去Canaima国家公园的旅行开始了。

我们爬到大约5000英尺的巡航高度,在这个高度之上,丛林像巨大的绿色地毯,除了红河像蛇一样蜿蜒前行。

我们的飞行员沿邱伦河河道往前飞行,当它接近平顶山边缘时,飞机沿着世界上最长的瀑布—-强劲的安吉尔瀑布的流轨猛地往下俯冲,正如安吉尔瀑布坠入德弗尔峡谷一样。

半个小时后,我们的飞机降落在泥泞的跑道上,路边有6个泥土垒成的小屋构成了一个当地Pemon印第安族人的村落。

随着旅行继续下去,我对旅客的稀少感到惊讶,任何地方都没有比德弗尔峡谷更让人惊讶的了。

该峡谷是一个位于高度为3,200英尺(大约975米)的安吉尔瀑布底部的有利于欣赏瀑布主要地方。

这是我所见过的最令人敬畏的景观之一,但几乎同样令人难以置信的是我们竟是那里唯一的一批游客。

为什么会这样呢?毕竟,即使阴天在尼亚加拉瀑布景点你也只能在拥挤的人群中勉强移动脚步。

Canaima路途遥远是一个原因,没有道路直达那里,因此你必须从离委内瑞拉首都加拉加斯一小时路程的奥尔达斯港包机到达。

航班有限,票价昂贵。

另一个原因是到直到最近委内瑞拉政府才开发了Canaima和安吉尔瀑布的旅游项目。

来这里的少数游客大部分直接飞往Canaima村,从村庄到瀑布是最便捷的路线,但路上还需要乘船3小时并经过相当有挑战性的两小时徒步旅行。

组织安吉尔瀑布生态游的导游采取了非常有趣的方式,因为他们更强调森林公园以及生息于此的人们而非安吉尔瀑布本身。

他们营造出一种让我感到真正独一无二的体验。

在很大程度上这是因为我们和Pemon印第安人有亲密接触,安吉尔瀑布生态之旅带来的收益占了Pemon印第安人收入的5%。

我以前曾在土著村庄住过几次,我深刻地认识到游客们之所以受到欢迎是因为他们为当地村庄相当可观的旅游收入。

Part I Reading ComprehensionTest One ~ Four 任选两篇+ 书本外的两篇Test OneSometimes negative reactions do not result from actual interaction but rather from the fixed, preconceived beliefs we have about other people. These over-generalized beliefs or "stereotypes" frequently shape people's perceptions of each other.有时消极反应并不是源于实际交互从固定的,而是先入为主的信仰我们对他人。

这些过于宽泛的信念或“刻板印象”经常形状人民对彼此的看法。

Stereotypes originate and develop from numerous sources such as jokes, textbooks, movies, and television. Movies about cowboys and Indians portray cowboys as "civilized" and Indians as wild and "primitive." A child who knows about the American Indians only through watching these movies will have a distorted and false image of this group of people. Stereotypes perpetuate inaccuracies about religious, racial, and cultural groups.刻板印象产生和发展从许多来源,如笑话、教科书、电影和电视。

B. 1. After climbing up to the top of the mountain and looking afar from the vantage point, I saw laidout before me a spectacular view, which was one of the most awe-inspiring view I have ever beheld;but equally exhilarating was the fact that some distance away a hawk was soaring high, and then, for an instant, it suddenly plummeted down into the canyon.2. My fondest memory is of spending a few days with a family in a mountain village, dinnering withthem and enjoying various dishes endemic to the region. It is of mellow sweetness to have watched them, decked out in their traditional garb, moving around the house. Of course, a stay there for some more days involves some degree of …roughing-it‟.Writing 1… Paragraph 1 introduces the trip by des cribing the author‟s initial venture into the park. Paragraph2 comments on the absence of tourists in the area through which the tour was passing. Paragraph 3provides a few reasons why there were so few tourists, including the remoteness of the area and the effect involved in getting there. Paragraph 4 discusses the approach used by the eco-tour company and their focus on the culture, people, and customs. Paragraph 5 describes the hospitality of the traveler‟ hosts, the Pemon Indians, and some of the activities in which they participated. Paragraph 6 reflects on the education and understanding that the tourists gained about the area and the culture.Paragraph 7 discusses the system of spirituality and beliefs of the Pemon tribe and the rare …energy meridia ns‟ of the area. Paragraph 8 concludes by stating that, while the trip was exciting for those who took it, the eco-tour style of traveling may not be for everyone.Comprehension1. C2. C3. D4. C5. A6.

Quite a few terminally ill patients would often like their doctors to administer lethal drugs to them tobe relieved of suffering; there are also some of their families who would prefer that doctors withdraw any life-prolonging treatment since there is no hope of effecting an ultimate cure. This problem has lately boiled over into a fierce public debate in some European countries.2.Those who ar e opposed to …Euthanasia‟ believe that it is no different from murder and that it isunethical, while the pro-euthanasists contend that since the incurably ill consider their existence more of a torment and suffering, why not let them end their lives in a decent and humane way? We ought to respect the patients‟ final decision.3.The fear that …mercy killing‟ will be abused or used unnecessarily is not groundless. But with effectivemeasures rigorously taken by the government and the departments concerned, and under tightly controlled conditions in hospitals, this problem would most probably be resolved in the end.Unit ThreeText AVocabulary & StructureA. 1. backwards 2. a babe 3. chance 4. odds5. smites6. splash7. shinning8. hastyB. 1.

The plunge we take is no different from the gamble we are taking against chance, against destiny,and in the course of it we may realize ourselves as an added bonus. And as a consequence we would be either bled white or finally make a career after painstaking efforts, or in rare cases, be continuously blessed with an unhindered advance, and we would take great pride in our obtained success.2.If a man makes gambling an obsession, he will not only lose his property gained through years oftoil, he will also lose his dignity and conscience. Therefore it is advisable that they beat a hasty retreat from such an indulgence and be away from the sea of troubles.3.On the bright side of the coin, we win in the struggle against destiny, and the odds are in ourfavor, then gambling is no longer a toxic drug, rather it is one against boredom and apathy, and may well preserve our good temper, patience and optimism, which will do us a world of good.Text BB. 1. depends 2. prides 3. volumes 4. numbers 5. blows 6. blueA. 1. involved 2. touch 3.. spoil 4. boost 5. get on6. get in Dutch7. flinging mud at8. heart-heart9. profusion 10. bit her tongue offTranslationA.首先,教师应性情开朗,具有魅力。

Robert Provine, a behavioral neurobiologist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, once thought so too. But then he and his students began wandering about the college campus notebooks in hand, recording exactly what really made people laugh.为什么我们会笑?大部分的人都会说那是因为我们找到了一些有趣的事情。

Robert Provine是Maryland大学的行为精神生物学家,他曾经也是这样认为的。

但是他和他的学生们开始散步在大学校园里,手里拿着笔记本,准确地记下引人发笑的原因。

2 Twelve hundred “laugh episodes”later, Provine was convinced that most laughter has little to do with jokes or funny stories. The vast majority or laughs followed mundane statements(普通话语)such as “It was nice meeting you, too” or“Can I join you?”Only some 10 to 20 percent followed anything remotely recognisable(细微联系)as a punch line(妙句、关键句).So what are the majority of laughs actually about?记录下一千二百个“笑的事件”后,Provine相信大部分的笑与开玩笑和滑稽的故事没有关联。

B. 1. After climbing up to the top of the mountain and looking afar from the vantage point, I saw laid out before me aspectacular view, which was one of the most awe-inspiring view I have ever beheld; but equally exhilarating was the fact that some distance away a hawk was soaring high, and then, for an instant, it suddenly plummeted down into the canyon.2. My fondest memory is of spending a few days with a family in a mountain village, dinnering with them and enjoyingvarious dishes endemic to the region. It is of mellow sweetness to have watched them, decked out in their traditional garb, moving around the house. Of course, a stay there for some more days involves some degree of ‘roughing-it’.Writing 1… Paragraph 1introduces the trip by describing the author’s initial venture into the park. Paragraph 2 comments on the absence of tourists in the area through which the tour was passing. Paragraph 3 provides a few reasons why there were so few tourists, including the remoteness of the area and the effect involved in getting there. Paragraph 4 discusses the approach used by the eco-tour company and their focus on the culture, people, and customs. Paragraph 5 describes the hospitality of the traveler’ hosts, the Pemon Indians, and some of the activities in which they participated. Paragraph 6 reflects on the education and understanding that the tourists gained about the area and the culture. Paragraph 7 discusses the system of spirituality and beliefs of the Pemon tribe and the rare ‘energy meridians’ of the area. Paragraph 8 concludes by stating that, while the trip was exciting for those who took it, the eco-tour style of traveling may not be for everyone.Unit TwoText AComprehension1. C2. C3. D4. C5. A6.

Quite a few terminally ill patients would often like their doctors to administer lethal drugs to them to be relieved of suffering;there are also some of their families who would prefer that doctors withdraw any life-prolonging treatment since there is no hope of effecting an ultimate cure. This problem has lately boiled over into a fierce public debate in some European countries.2.Those who are opposed to ‘Euthanasia’ believe that it is no different f rom murder and that it is unethical, while thepro-euthanasists contend that since the incurably ill consider their existence more of a torment and suffering, why not let them end their lives in a decent and humane way? We ought to respect the patients’ fi nal decision.3.The fear that ‘mercy killing’ will be abused or used unnecessarily is not groundless. But with effective measures rigorouslytaken by the government and the departments concerned, and under tightly controlled conditions in hospitals, this problem would most probably be resolved in the end.Unit ThreeText AVocabulary & StructureA. 1. backwards 2. a babe 3. chance 4. odds5. smites6. splash7. shinning8. hastyB. 1.

Therefore it is advisable that they beat a hasty retreat from such an indulgence and be away from the sea of troubles.3.On the bright side of the coin, we win in the struggle against destiny, and the odds are in our favor, then gambling is nolonger a toxic drug, rather it is one against boredom and apathy, and may well preserve our good temper, patience and optimism, which will do us a world of good.Text BB. 1. depends 2. prides 3. volumes 4. numbers 5. blows 6. blueUnit 4 Text A Vocabulary & StructureA. 1. involved 2. touch 3.. spoil 4. boost 5. get on6. get in Dutch7. flinging mud at8. heart-heart9. profusion 10. bit her tongue offTranslationA.首先,教师应性情开朗,具有魅力。

Unit 21.On the average of six times a day,a doctor in Holland practices“active”euthanasia:intentionally administering a lethal drug to a terminally ill patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering. Twenty times a day, life-prolonging treatment is withheld or withdrawn when there is no hope that it can effect an ultimate cure.荷兰的医生平均每天6次实施“主动”安乐死:即有意提供给要求从痛苦中得以解脱的晚期病人致命药物。

当彻底治愈病人已经无望,(医生)将不再对病人进行保命式治疗,这样的情况一天有20次。

2.The long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a sometimes fierce public debate, with both sides claiming the mantle of ultimate righteousness.争论了很久的“安乐死”问题最近时不时地演变成激烈的公众大争论,双方都声称自己的事业是最终的正义。

3.And so the euthanasists have begun to press their case with greaterforce.They argue that every human being should have the right to “die with dignity”, by which they usually meanthe right to escape the horrors of a painful or degrading hospitalization.因此,安乐死提倡者们已开始积极主张他们的观点。

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

如果发生摩擦,请记住要保持冷静不要动不动就勃然大怒,你不应该说出对神不敬的言论,试着减少你的怒火,否则你将会使冲突恶化,对与你发生矛盾的人的关系带来伤害。并使你处于困境之中。如果恰巧你与身边的人发生摩擦,你试着努力心平气和的坦诚不公的谈心,这并不表示你忍气吞声,低头认输,除非你的对手非常仇视的。
面对不愉快的遭遇,你不必憎恨或是失望。你应该,相反的,(充满)人道的和自信的,这样有更多的机会会被其他人理解并改进与其他人的关系。如果,相反的,你要报复并采取以牙还牙的方法,或是运用仇恨的语言发动攻击,你将会陷入麻烦,因为恶有恶报。
在英国,虽然有一个成功运作了半个世纪的支持安乐死的集团,但是不太可能有真正法律上的改变。积极安乐死依然是个犯罪行为,被认为是协助自杀行为的犯罪。最近在1984年,一个叫Helen Charlette Hough的义工被判处了9个月的监禁。因为他给一个82岁的孤独痛苦的早起耳聋和失明的老妇人提供了毒药。一年以后,对英国自杀案的修正案再提到上议院的第一轮辩论中就被迅速否决了,被描述为“有执照的谋杀”。
赌博只有两种可能,成功和失败。硬币的正面我们赢。只要我们与命运搏斗,形势经常有利于我们,尤其是我们运用常识的时候。举个例子,一个女人没有赢得男人爱的魅力,他可能会以其成功的事业为荣,而不会因为长相平平而后悔。有一些伟大的女性并不服从男人的统治和命运的安排,结果她们却拥有了其他女性所没有的幸福。对我们很多人来说,赌博在很多的情况下,是抵制乏味和冷漠的无毒的药,有助于我们保持良好的脾气和心态,具有耐心,乐观向上,而这些能给我们带来很大的好处。总之,赌博是各种生命形势特征。敢于赌博的人比犹豫不决的人更能赢得机会。不冒险的人满足于平淡无奇的生活。但是有一点他们要牢记在心,那就是他们没有权利血口喷人或谩骂中伤通过赌博而成功的人。事实上没有人有权利谴责赌博,因为没有人敢说他们从不赌博,即使是花一点点钱投资在足球彩票上或是摸“彩带”。

Unit 1 (A) Canaima —Eco-tours with Angels and Devils (Eco-friendly tours )ecologicalBackground1.Canaima National Park is a 30,000 km²(square kilometers ) park in south-eastern Venezuela . The park was established on the 12 June 1962. It is the second largest park in the country. It became a UNESCO (United Nations Educational ,Scientific ,and Cultural Organization 联合国教科文组织) World Heritage Site in 1994 because of the tepuis (table-top mountains) that are characteristic of this area. The park is home to indigenous Pemon Indians. (Pemon is a Cariban language spoken mainly in Venezuela)The Pemon have an intimate relationship with the tepuis, and believe they are the home of the 'mawari' spirits. The park is relatively remote, with only a few roads connecting towns.

Unit 21.On the average of six times a day, a doctor in Holland practices “active”euthanasia:intentionally administering a lethal drug to a terminally ill patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering. Twenty times a day, life-prolonging treatment is withheld or withdrawn when there is no hope that it can effect an ultimate cure.荷兰的医生平均每天6次实施“主动”安乐死:即有意提供给要求从痛苦中得以解脱的晚期病人致命药物。

当彻底治愈病人已经无望,(医生)将不再对病人进行保命式治疗,这样的情况一天有20次。

2.The long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a sometimes fierce publicdebate, with both sides claiming the mantle of ultimate righteousness.争论了很久的“安乐死”问题最近时不时地演变成激烈的公众大争论,双方都声称自己的事业是最终的正义。

3.And so the euthanasists have begun to press their case with greater force. They argue thatevery human being should have the right to “die with dignity”, by which they usually mean the right to escape the horrors of a painful or degrading hospitalization.因此,安乐死提倡者们已开始积极主张他们的观点。

他们认为人人有权利“死得有尊严”,他们通常指即有权逃避痛苦的或者有损人格的住院治疗的恐惧。

4.Most advocates of voluntary euthanasia contend that the right to die should be accorded onlyto the terminally and incurably ill, but the movement also includes a small minority who believe in euthanasia for anyone who rationally decides to take his own life.许多自愿安乐死的倡导者认为这种权利只能给予那些得了不治之症或病入膏肓的病人,但在此运动中也包括一小部分认为任何理智地决定结束自己生命的人也可以安乐死。

5.Though support for euthanasia has grown rapidly throughout the decade, opposition hasbecome sharper as well. Some zealous actions by pro-euthanasists have supplied ammunition to those who contend that legalizing active voluntary euthanasia would be the thin edge of wedge for a variety of abuses.虽然在这十年当中,人们对安乐死的支持迅猛增长,但对安乐死的反对意见也变得更尖锐。

支持者们所采取的一些狂热行为,反而为反对者们提供了反击他们的证据。

因为反对者们认为使主动安乐死合法化会遭人肆意滥用从而酿成大祸。

6. A French group called the Association for Prevention of Handicapped Childhood recentlyurged passage of legislation that would allow doctors to kill gravely handicapped children during the first 72 hours after their birth. The proposal produced a storm of outrage in France.一个名为预防残疾童年协会的法国团体最近极力主张通过立法允许医生在婴儿出生后72小时内结束那些严重残疾的儿童的生命。

此提案在法国引起轩然大波。

7.Inevitably, critics compared the plan to the “euthanasia program” carried out by the Nazis, inwhich more than 70,000 retarded and handicapped people were slaughtered in the interests of “Purifying the Aryan race”.不可避免地,批评家们总是把此提案比作纳粹所实施的“安乐死计划”,在这个计划里,为了净化雅利安民族,7万多智力迟钝和身体有缺陷的人被屠杀。

8.Hitler’s horrifying program of exterminating the weakest members of society regularly comesup in European debates on euthanasia.在欧洲关于安乐死的争论中经常提到希特勒灭绝社会弱势群体的令人发指的计划。

Unit 31.Apart from marriage, a journey to a new place, a drive on the road, a ride in an airplane, abusiness transaction, even a chance remark may result immediately or ultimately in tragedy.除了婚姻,到一个陌生的地方去旅行,在路上开车,坐飞机,进行一次生意上的交易,甚至于一次无意间说的话可能马上或最终导致悲剧的发生。

2.To many of us, gambling is, in many cases, a non-toxic drag against boredom and apathy,and may well help preserve good temper, patience and optimism,which will do us a world of good.对我们中的许多人来说,在很多情况下赌博是一种用来应对无聊和无趣的无毒的良药。

它极有可能有助于我们保持良好的心态,使我们有耐心、乐观向上,这将使我们获益匪浅。

3.As a matter of fact, few of us have the right to condemn gambling as few of us can say thatthey never gamble – even if it is only investing a few pence in a football sweep or a “luck dip”.事实上,我们中很少有人有权利去谴责赌博,因为很少有人敢说他们从不赌博——哪怕只是把很少的钱用于赌一场足球比赛的全胜或用来摸彩袋。

4.If a man makes gambling an obsession– almost a from of insanity –he will not only losehis property gained through years of toil, he will also lose his dignity and conscience.如果一个人沉迷于赌博——几近疯狂的程度——他将不仅失去经过多年辛勤工作得来的财产,也会失去他的尊严和良知。

5.If one sticks to his limits, it is more a game of fun than the root of all evils.假如一个人始终在有限的范围内赌博,那么赌博更像是一种娱乐的游戏而不是万恶之根源。

6.We can accomplish this by encouraging an interest in so many other activities that gamblingitself will lose its fascination as an opiate to a colorless and dreary existence. 我们能够控制赌博,激发人们对如此多的其他活动产生兴趣从而使赌博失去其魅力,使其不能成为调节无聊乏味生活的一个良药。

Unit 51.The search for an answer brings you face to face with problems that are at once both the baneand lifeblood of virtually all research into human emotions.探索这个答案使你面对一些问题,这是些实际上在所有探索人类情感的研究中都会碰到的重要与非重要的问题。

2.You may also set out with the belief that the emotion has evolved into something rathersophisticated, requiring the brain’s conscious, cognitive to subtle social indications like punch lines.你也许开始认为人类的情感已经进化成相当复杂的东西,需要大脑的意识和认知中心对像幽默语这样微妙的社交暗示做出回应。

3.but then you realize that most people cannot will themselves to laugh on command orsuppress an unwanted attack of the giggles.然而你意识到大多数人无法根据命令迫使自己笑,也不能压制住一阵讨厌的傻笑。
