My family could barely get by on my small income from driving a cab. One late night I responded to a call for a cab ride. To my surprise, when I arrived at the address, I found it was a frail old lay who was awaiting me. After she got into the cab, I engaged her in conversation.I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well. I did take pride in that small favour.Unit TwoLoveEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▆ Working with Words and ExpressionsIn the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

No one will deny that some people make friends simply for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more people long for “soul pals”— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and inspire us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call “true friendship”. It is in the company of such friends that we find ourselves surpassingour old selves and becoming better persons / people.Unit FoursportsEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▇ Working with Words and Expressions1.In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Translate the following paragraph into English, using the words and expressions in the box below.▇Answers for reference:A gold medal is a tribute to the athletic talent, determination and courage of an Olympic champion. Then how do the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to be so highly honored? The champions who have mounted the winners’ stand can offer an answer based on their own experiences. First, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. Once their dreams of becoming champions take shape, they will cling to them courageously. What’s more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. They discipline themselves and s queeze in every possible minute to practice every day. Despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimes fail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. They are ready to take on the most psychologically and technically challenging tasks or competitions. In reality, all champions have experienced lots of hardships on their way to the vital break of their lifetime. So we won’t and can’t say that a champion is lucky. After all, luck only strikes those prepared to capitalize on it.。

It is because of teamwork that most businesses are able to function properly.To become team players we must learn to compromise. When our views conflict with the general view of the team we must restrain our egos and listen to what others say. We should learn how to deal with criticism in a mature way; be honest and be aware of others’ feelings. (144 words)。

新世纪大学英语综合教程2作文答案

新世纪大学英语综合教程2作文答案Unit 1 p271) In my middle school years, I had a best friend. We talked about everything. And we loved singing songs together. Once, however, there was a bitter quarrel between us and we stopped talking to each other. It was obvious that both of us wanted to keep the friendship, but neither had the courage to break the ice. It went on like this for months. Then, one day we were asked to write about friendship. I wrote in my composition what friendship meant to me and the misunderstanding that had separated us. It was given the top mark, and I was asked to read it in class. When I ended my presentation with the words from our favourite song, my friend was singing along. All misunderstanding was cleared and once again we were best friends. To break down the walls between people is easy; all it takes is a little forgiveness! (150 words)2) We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold security bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go out of our way to help them; we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of insecurity fill the environment we live in. All this greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated and care about ourselves only. If things go on like this, “trust”, “teamwork”, and “harmony” will eventually become terms unheard of. In my opinion, trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human relationships. We may not be in a position to change others, but we can change the way others see us by winning their trust in us. Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society. (151 words) </font>Unit 2 p591)Today, many college students are from single-child families. Growing up in suchenvironments, they tend to take for granted what they have. Some even develop bad habits and character flaws such as self-will, lack of responsibility and selfishness. In my opinion, taking a listless attitude toward life is extremely harmful to them. With such a negative attitude, they fail to appreciate the advantages they enjoy. They waste away their precious time, seeking pleasure in running after pop stars or indulging in computer games. In the end, they may have to leave college without having acquired any useful skills or knowledge. Sometimes I think it is good for us to think more of the young people who are still struggling for their lives and education. Such an attitude would certainly impel us to cherish more our college life. And life would be more meaningful if we treat it with a gentleness, a vigor and keenness of appreciation.(155 words)2)Being admitted to college was an important turning point in my life. I would neverhave been able to make it without the help and support of my parents, teachers and classmates. Throughout the time I was preparing for the entrance examination my parents were always there to back me up. They allowed me to make my own decisions about which major I wanted to pursue. What’s more, they had full confidence in me. I was lucky enough to have had fine teachers and kind classmates.My teachers were patient and competent to explain the problems I did not understand;my classmates helped me and encouraged me all the time. We shared our hopes and anxieties to gether. That was a memorable time in my life! I didn’t achieve everything alone. I owe a lot to those who have helped me to get where I am. （147 words）Unit 3 p941) Li Hui, my friend in high school, was born into a worker's family. She began to dreamof becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood. To her disappointment, her parents strongly opposed her career choice, because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family, and they were worried about the job opportunities for a cartoon artist. However, Li Hui would not change her mind. She worked hard to perfect her skills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream. Just before she finished high school, the chance came: a famous art school was holding a cartoon drawing competition. The first three winners would be given a scholarship to study cartoon drawing at the school. Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through her fingers. She readily participated and won the second place. She is now studying there and I feel certain that her dream will come true. (156 words)2) In my opinion, before a person becomes successful, he or she should fully understand the basic elements of success: competence, determination and optimism. For a person to succeed, he or she has to face great competition and excel in his or her chosen career. The person needs to demonstrate and prove his or her competence in dealing with problems. Without competence, the person can neither stand out among the crowd nor attract the attention of those who hold the keys to the doors of opportunity and advancement. Y et ability alone cannot guarantee success. Often enough, things do not go the way we have planned and failure is unavoidable no matter how intelligent or capable we may be. In such cases one needs to remain firm and optimistic, always believing that hard work will eventually pay off. If the person gives up halfway, success will never knock at the door. (149 words) </font>Unit 4 p1251) Dear Weihua, I know you are still feeling upset about your results in the college entrance examination. I've just read an article about how pessimistic and optimisticthoughts can affect our behaviour and I'm now sending you a copy, hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows.• Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell on the past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what is more important for now and the future. Life is full of trials and anyone may suffer setbacks. We must take an optimistic attitude towards the things we have to deal with. Optimism and positive thinking are powerful forces. Good things do come true if we picture them often. Please do have confidence in your potential. Just work hard and prepare for another chance. Y ou will make it. •Y ours,• Janet• (152 words)2) Thinking positively means allowing your mind to be filled with optimistic feelings, and always hoping for the best though still aware of the difficulties that might be involved. The human mind is powerful; thoughts of optimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Though it mightseem impossible to some, positive thinking and success actually have a cause-and-result relationship. The reason is that a person with positive thinking will always broadcast goodwill and confidence and that kind of radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody. Gradually, people’s attitude will shift towards more trust and respect. This not only opens up more opportunities for the individual, but it also feeds back emotionally, and the cycle continues. Though the shaping of a positive or negative personality often happens subconsciously, it is possible to control such processes consciously. A person can try visualizing favourable situations, whether it is remembering a contest won as a child or imagining getting that job offer so long sought after. Over time circumstances will change accordingly. （169 words）Test1 p128My View on Opportunity Different people have different views on opportunity. Somehold that there are not enough opportunities because there are far too many people. Y et others believe that there are opportunities everywhere. They say that opportunity favors the prepared mind. I agree with the latter. It is true that there is really intense competition for limited opportunities, but one can always create opportunities. Actually, most opportunities are created by people themselves. For example, when people lose their jobs, some will wait in vain and complain about the lack of opportunities, while others choose to set about creating opportunities for themselves and taking responsibility for their own lives. They become self-employed and may even lead a better life eventually. Therefore, to some extent, our destiny is in our own hands. (130 words)Unit5 p1751) A widespread belief in modern society is that with talent, personal effort and luck alone a person can succeed, regardless of character. However, history has proven over and over again that the morally defective cannot be truly successful, even if they at times enjoy some temporary glory. A typical example is found in the story of four brilliant Cambridge students. They were all talented and eventually worked their way up to very important positions in the British government, with one even ending up working in Buckingham Palace. During and after World War II, however, they betrayed their country by giving away national secrets to the Soviet Union, which damaged the interests of Britain in many ways. Eventually what they had done was uncovered. Three of them fled the country and ended up in exile; the fourth lost his knighthood in disgrace. “Intelligent” and “successful” as they once were, they are now remembered as traitors to their country. (157 words)2) As modern society advances, we are growing more suspicious of each other. This is clearly reflected in our reaction to advertisements. Instead of seeing advertisements as asource of reliable information, we tend to doubt the truth they claim and always assume that the producers are trying to trick customers into buying their products. One of the most serious consequences of such absence of mutual trust is the constant doubt and anxiety within our own minds. If we see everyone else as a potential enemy, we can no longer make new friends; if we regard all information passed on to us as lies, how can we make use of such sources effectively? Mutual trust is the glue that holds human society together. As students, we should try to foster mutual trust and help build up a moral society by our own deeds. If we are honest to others and foster mutual trust, we shall soon see the difference. (158 words)Unit6 p2091) A Creative Person My physics professor is a very creative person. His research project for his doctoral dissertation dealt with a very complicated physics problem at a time when many others thought it was impossible to solve it. But he creatively introduced a new concept and finally resolved the theoretical and experimental contradiction. He possesses many unique traits. He is very energetic and hard-working. He chairs the Physics Department and teaches many hours a week. Meanwhile, he is in charge of the university’s technology research. Obviously he is a efficient worker. My professor can be eccentric, once he shocked the whole class by saying “Good physics, everyone” instead of “Good morning, everyone”. But above all, my professor has a sincere interest and a strong passion in his research field. No wonder he is highly respected by both his colleagues and his students. (140 words)2) Popular Say ings May Become “Mental Locks” To cultivate a creative mind, one needs to chip away at one’s “mental locks”. Some of the “mental locks” are shaped by popular sayings, which sound so familiar to us that we tend to take them for granted.Instructive as they may be, these common statements may restrict our freedom to think. “Look before you leap!” We make this remark to caution someone to think carefully before making a decision or taking an action. It may seem sound advice, but it may also put him or her in a passive position. He or she may just keep “looking” round and without making a “leap”. Similarly, we may say to the same person, “Don’t let the chance slip through your fingers!” Then, the person may be motivated to act promptly, regardless of the consequences. In either case, the personal may fall victim to popular sayings. So, if we want to come up with a new idea, we must break up the “mental locks” that close our minds. (166 words)Test2 p272In our society there are some people who employ dishonest means to get what they want. To make more profits, some businessmen sell fake products. To get better scores, some students cheat in exams. But dishonesty does not pay in the long run. Those who sell fake products end up losing customers. Students who practice cheating in exams are cheating themselves. By contrast, honest people gain a clear conscience and also win the trust and respect of others. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a better job. After all, who would want a dishonest employee? By sticking to the principle of honesty, we can help make the world a better place to live in. Honesty is the best policy and it really pays to be honest. (135 words)。

Maybe being happy is the attraction, I like bright colours, especially red. It is said that people who like red are passionate and have a lot of energy. I agree that I am enthusiastic about(对、、、很热衷) many things and like doing many things at he same time. So it seem there is some truth after all in what color says about a person’s personality2)Think of the person you admire most, Write two personality traits that you likemost about this person. Remember to give an example for each personalitytraits.Sample EssayThe person I admire most is my father’s younger brother. He is known to us as ba shu because he is the eighth son in a family of eleven. He is a high achiever(志存高远).Since young, he has done well in his studies and work. For example, he received a prestigious（优等的）scholarship （奖学金）to study at a well-known medical school in England. Today, at the age of 62, he is still as outstanding. He is a well-respected surgeon and has won many awards（获得奖励）. What I like most about ba shu Iis his sensitive nature, especially towards children who are born unlucky. He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to（为、、、、作出牺牲）help those in poor and developing countries. His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impressed me a lot.3）Imagine that you had been given a wish to change your life. Write about two personality traits that you would like to have and give your reasons.Sample EssayIf I were given a wish to have two personality traits, I would choose to be an optimistic and creative person. I would like to be an optimistic person because those who are optimistic are usually satisfied and contented with (对、、、满意)what they have. They seldom let sadness be a part of their life. I want to be happy and being optimistic is one way to remain happy. I also would like to be creative. I think thatcreativity is inherited.Some may disagree and say that we can learn to be creative.However, no matter how hard one learns, it is those born with the talent of creativity who will make a great name for(成就名声) themselves like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.4）Write about a person whom you dislike most and give one or two reasons or example why you dislike him or her so much.Sample EssayThere is no one person I dislike most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate(忍受): aggressiveness( 有攻击性的，很强势的) and selfishness.Aggressive people do not consider others’feelings and will not think twice about hurting even those closest to them. I once had a neighbor who would beat his wife one day and appear loving the next. His wife lived I fear constantly but could do nothing because he was in control of her, another personality trait I dislike is selfishness. Like aggressive people, selfish people only think of themselves. There are many everyday examples of selfishness such as those not willing to lend things to others and those not wanting to share exam tips even with their best friends. If you know someone with a combination of aggressiveness and selfishness you should consider whether to call him or her a friend.Unit 4 Write a short passage of about 100-120 words on the topic:living in a Nursing Home : A Plan for the Future?”.Sample Essay:Thanks to medical advances(医疗进步) and better living conditions, most of us can live longer. The issue of where we will stay when we get to old has become a concern for（成为大家关心的问题）everyone. I did a survey last week on “ Are you willing to go and live in a nursing home when you grow old?”. Of the ten people surveyed, seven said”yes”. According to them, living in a nursing home would enable them to meet people of similar ages, get instant medical care, and have their meals and laundry taken care of. The three who don’t want to stay in a nursing home think living in a nursing home would make them feel lonely and abandoned on the one hand and would have their privacy intruded (侵犯)upon on the other. Nonetheless, the survey does suggest that more people would be willing to live in a nursing home in the future.Unit51) In about 100-120 words, write about an incident of misunderstanding betweenyou and your mother/father. Tell us about how it all started and what happened in the end.Sample essayOne afternoon, I was wandering along（闲逛）the main street of our small town with a friend. Suddenly I saw my mother. She was behaving very strangely. She looked around before going quickly into a shop. When she came out, she had a box in her hand. I was terrified; I knew some of my villagers resorted to（求助于）theft because they were poor.The thought that my mother could be one of them drove me crazy. I was determined to (决心去) find out the truth form her. When I questioned her, tears filled her eyes. She told me she was collecting beer cans from some kind shop owners who offered them to her, but would feel embarrassed if she was seen by others. I cried and hugged her and felt sorry that I had misunderstood my own mother.3)In about 100-120 words, describe the similarities and differences in the way your fatherand mother show their love for you. Be sure to give examples.Sample EssayMy parents differ greatly in showing their love for me. while my mother appears more anxious and depressed if anything goes wrong with me, my father tends to be silent and expresses his concern for me mainly through actions rather than words. I still remember the day when I left home for university. When my mother was in tears and kept giving me endless advice, my father remained silent. But when he saw an ice-cream man on the platform(月台), he rushed towards him and got me an ice-cream just before the train started to move. I learned from my mother later that father locked himself up in his room after returning home and cried for the first time in his life. I never expected that my departure（离开）would trigger（引起）such an emotional response from my father.Unit6Sample Essay1）I like Christmas because the festive atmosphere （节日气氛）created by the occasion is so overwhelming（铺天盖地）. You can see pretty seasonal decorations everywhere, Christmas lights, flowers, and pictures of Father Christmas with a smiling face. You may even meet a “real” Father Christmas on the street busy handing our candies to kids. The atmosphere does lift everybody’s spirits, since joy and excitement seem to be contagious（有感染力的）;everyone around us looks happier and is more patient with each other during the festive season.We send each other Christmas greetings and give Christmas gifts to our friends and relatives.Even friends who have not been in constant touch a lso” appear” again at this time to send their regards.2）I don’t like Christmas because today’s Christmas has been entirely commercialized. Shops try all sorts of tricks to attract customers, by putting up fanciful Christmas decorations, by offering seasonal discounts and even by asking somebody to play Father Christmas to give out gifts. Behind all the smiles and the beautiful decoration, I do not care of a spirit of giving. I only see one word, which is “profit”. Everybody does Christmas shopping at this time to get Christmas gifts for their family members or friends. As for me, I believe it is more important to show care and concern for my family members and friends all year round than just give them a “once a year’Christmas gift.。

新世纪大学英语综合教程2作文答案作文答案Unit 1 p27 1) In my middle school years, I had a best friend. We talked about everything. And we loved singing songs together. Once, however, there was a bitter quarrel between us and we stopped talking to each other. It was obvious that both of us wanted to keep the friendship, but neither had the courage to break the ice. It went on like this for months. Then one day we were asked to write about friendship. I wrote in my composition what friendship meant to me and the misunderstanding that had separated us. It was given the top mark, and I was asked to read it in class.

We live behind cold security bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go ou of our way to help them; we live in fear of fake products.

In my opinion, taking a listless attitude toward life is extremely harmful to them. With such a negative attitude, they fail to appreciate the advantages they enjoy. They waste away their precious time, seeking pleasure in running after pop stars or indulging in computer games. In the end, they may have to leave college without having acquired any useful skills or knowledge. Sometimes I think it is good for us to think more of the young people who are still struggling for their lives and education. Such an attitude would certainly impel us to cherish more our college life. And life would be more meaningful if we treat it with a gentleness, a vigor and keenness of appreciation. (155 words) 2) Being admitted to college was an important turning point in my life. I would never have been able to make it without the help and support of my parents, teachers and classmates. Throughout the time I was preparing for the entrance examination my parents were always there to back me up. They allowed me to make my own decisions about which major I wanted to pursue. What’s more, they had full confi dence in me. I was lucky enough to have had fine teachers and kind classmates. My teachers were patient and competent to explain the problems I did not understand; my classmates helped me and encouraged me all the time. We shared our hopes and anxieties together. That was a memorable time in my life! I didn’t achieve everything alone. I owe a lot to those who have helped me to get where I am. （147 words ）Unit 3 p94 1) Li Hui, my friend in high school, was born into a worker's family. She began to dream of becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood. To her disappointment, her parents strongly opposed her career choice, because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family, and they were worried about the job opportunities for a cartoon artist. However, Li Hui would not change her mind. She worked hard to perfect her skills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream. Just before she finished high school, the chance came: a famous art school was holding a cartoon drawing competition. The first three winners would be given a scholarship to study cartoon drawing at the school. Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through her fingers. She readily participated and won the second place. She is now studying there and I feel certain that her dream will come true.

The human mind is powerful; thoughts of optimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Though it mightseem impossible to some, positive thinking and success actually have a cause-and-result relationship. The reason is that a person with positive thinking will always broadcast goodwill and confidence and that kind of radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody.

Instead of seeing advertisements as a source of reliable information, we tend to doubt the truth they claim and always assume that the producers are trying to trick customers into buying their products. One of the most serious consequences of such absence of mutual trust is the constant doubt and anxiety within our own minds. If we see everyone else as a potential enemy, we can no longer make new friends; if we regard all information passed on to us as lies, how can we make use of such sources effectively? Mutual trust is the glue that holds human society together. As students, we should try to foster mutual trust and help build up a moral society by our own deeds.

Students who practice cheating in exams are cheating themselves. By contrast, honest people gain a clear conscience and also win the trust and respect of others. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a better job. After all, who would want a dishonest employee?

Students normally find it hard to cope with different kinds of fees at college without parental help. However, when students do get financial help from their parents, they will feel obligated to follow their parents’ advice, sometimes against their own will, because after all, their parents are paying all their expenses at college.b. When a student thinks that his / her peers are brighter and study harder, he / she will push himself / herself more, which will in turn induce more pressure on himself / herself.2 Read the following statements and then decide whether each of them is true or false based on the information in the text. Write T for True and F for False in the space provided before each statement. 1)T Without parental help, a student may be expected to have a large loan to pay back after graduation.2) F Many students dream of becoming dentists.(Many students don’t want to take pre-medical courses. So they go off to their labs as if they were going to see a dentist.)3)T Knowledge in the humanities can help create leaders in all general fields.4)T Lawyers, doctors and businessmen usually earn more than most of other people.5) F Students who finish an assignment up to requirements will be given the same credits as those who have done more.(When most students are doing more than they are expected to, those who are doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well.)3 Listed in the left column are the four pressures faced by college students and in the right column are causes or consequences linked to the pressures. Relate the causes or consequences to the types of pressure by following the example given. Some causes or consequences can be related to more than one type of pressure.Types of Pressure Causes or ConsequencesA. economic pressure ( a, d )B. parental pressure a. loans to payb. taking some courses unwillinglyc. taking courses with “practical value”( b, c )C. peer pressure( e, f, g )D. self-induced pressure ( e, f, g )d. heavy tuition fees, expenses on rooms and bookse. thinking some fellow students are working harderf. staying in the library till very lateg. doing more work than required4 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicized parts.1) But there are no villains; only victims.

(Para. 15) The students who just fulfill what they are asked to do are put at a disadvantaged position.6) The tactic works, psychologically.

Are there any differences?Most students perhaps will say “yes” to this question as the four kinds of pressure mentioned in the text are also felt by Chinese university students. The only significant difference, perhaps, lies in the fact that Chinese university students enjoy more financial support from their parents than their American counterparts.2) What is your major? Who chose this major, you or your parents? Are you happy with your major so far? Give reasons.Answers will vary depending on who the student is and what family background he or she comes from.3) Are you working part time while being a full-time student? If so, why are you working part time? If not, do you think it’s good to work part time while being a full-time student?Some students in China are working part time while being full-time students.

You should write at least 120 words.Sample essayThroughout our lifetime we may encounter many adversities: unable to pay for the education, obstacles in studies and even physical disabilities. Whether we are rich or poor, intelligent or slow, adversity seems the constant companion of many of us.In the face of adversity there are typically two reactions: one is to feel frightened and run away; the other, to face it with courage. But what happens next makes a big difference between the brave and the cowardly. Some people turn away from adversity without even an attempt to make things better; while others, though frightened emotionally or disadvantaged physically, manage to shake off the initial fear and take hold of their bootstraps to pull themselves out of the bad situations they are in.We should choose the attitude of the latter because running away is not going to solve the problem. In addition, this attitude may lead one to acquire the habit of always thinking negatively and thus limit one’s growth and development. (165 words)2) Resilience can help us overcome difficulties in life and make our life and career more successful. But what is resilience? How can one develop resilience? Write a short essay about your understanding of these questions. You may want to draw on the two texts in this unit and give some examples to support your ideas.Sample essay:Resilience is a positive quality some people display when they meet unforeseen difficulties. Resilient people are able to judge reasonably the situation they are in, to make adjustments when necessary, and to remain confident even when the bad situation lasts long. Resilience is like the human muscle, it grows with use and practice; but if ignored, it will weaken.Resilience is both inborn and learnt. Some people who are naturally more open to others or slower to react to hardship have an advantage when trying to develop resilience. However, anyone with enough determination and applying the right method can do it, too. For example, learning something new and difficult is a good way to challenge ourselves. When we are forced to sit down and memorize hundreds and thousands of new words, our resilience is practiced and promoted.Resilience is a characteristic we all need and can develop. (147 words)。

She had chronic anemia caused from poor diet, a bad case of worms, and needed a corrective operation, but there was no money for iron pills, or better food, or worm medicine, to say nothing of having an operation. She had no money for grannies; no money for paper handkerchiefs and her children were seen with runny noses all the time. She tried her best to use only the minimum electricity. She stayed up all night on cold nights. because she had to watch the fire, for fear that one spark on the newspaper covering the walls would cause a fire and the sleeping children would die in flames.She saw no bright future. Sooner or later, the boys would end up behind the bars of their prison or turn to the freedom of alcohol or drugs and findthemselves enslaved. And what awaited the daughter was, at best, a life like that of the mother.Indeed, poverty is an acid that drips on pride until all pride is worn away. Poverty is a chisel that chips on honor until honor is worn away.WRITINGSample Essay: My Reflections after Reading“What Is Poverty?”In defining poverty, Jo Goodwin Parker creates a vivid picture of the miserable life poverty-stricken people live. I was very much touched by her harsh, direct and angry tone. Her definition of poverty has set me thinking a lot.First of all, what Parker says about poverty in the United States reminds me of what my Grandfather once said about his miserable life in China in the 1940’s. Indeed, poor people everywhere suffer in more or less the same way.I do have great sympathy with them and sincerely hope that the world will say goodbye to poverty soon. Secondly, I have come to see more clearly that we must cherish what we have today. Indeed, the decent and comfortablelife we young people enjoy today comes from the hard work of many generations. However, we tend to take today’s happy life for granted, and sometimes we even complain about the slightest discomfort in life. This is a harmful attitude because it makes us forget the past. We should remember that what we have now was never even dreamed of by the older generation.Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor. Lastly, we should have a right attitude towards poverty. In the face of poverty, it’s no use complaining or just making emotional appeals for help. Instead, we must rely on our courage, talent, and persistence and get rid of poverty with our own effort. Diligence and hard work is the only way out. We may be poor materially but we should not make ourselves poor spiritually.UNIT3Working with words and expressions1) pray 2) escorted 3) swirled 4) grin 5) deceived6) punctuated 7) wail 8) rejoicing 9) moans 10) serenely1) by leaps and bounds 2) a sea of 3) holding out4) take his name in vain 5) held up 6) am ashamed of (am or was?)

His aunt told him that when he was saved, he would see a light, and something would happen to him inside! She also said he could see and hear and feel Jesus in his soul. Young Hughes believed in the literal meaning the hot, crowded church, waiting for Jesus to come to him.After the sermon by the preacher, all the children went to the altar one after another. This meant that they were saved. But Hughes kept sitting there. He was still waiting for Jesus to come, wanting something to happen to him. Now the whole congregation was praying for him alone. The pressure on him was increasing and he began to feel ashamed of himself, holding everything up so long. In order to avoid further trouble, Hughes decided to lie and say that Jesus had come. So he got up and was saved finally. That night, lying in bed, Hughes cried in agony. He felt guilty because he had lied in public and he didn’t believe in Jesus any more.WRITINGSample Essay: My First Experience as a TeacherIt was a Sunday morning. I got up early and dressed myself in my Sunday best. It was my first day as a part-time teacher of English. It won’t be a difficult job teaching a group of child ren some basic English,?I thought to myself as I was walking towards a private kindergarten. The manager, a friend of mine, had informed me that this Sunday EnglishLearning Program was initiated at the request of the parents, who wished to expose their pre-school children to some English.We don’t have textbooks and you may plan your teaching as you see fit,? the manager had assured mc.As I entered the kindergarten, I heard a mighty wail of shouts and cries coming out a classroom. That must be the classroom,? I said to myself and quickened my steps. I was shocked to see some 20 naughty and noisy kids talking and laughing. Some were chasing after each other while others were standing on their chairs singing. Strangely, when they saw me, they all quieted down and returned to their seats. In a hushed silence, punctuated by a few giggles from some girls, I introduced myself. Then I asked them in Chinese what they would like to learn and they all said that they wanted to learn an English song.I did not prepare for that, but I still remembered the “ABC Song”? that I learned when I was a kid. ? sang the song from memory and the expressions on their faces told mc that they liked it a lot. So ? wrote the 26 English letters on the blackboard and we started learning and singing together. it was fun, indeed.Then, I thought I’d better teach some sentences as I had planned. So I wrote on the blackboard HOW ARE YOU? and HOW OLD ARE YOU? making a point that they got to know the Chinese meaning of each word separately. By reading after me they were learning fast.Suddenly, a little boy rose to his feet and accused me of teaching them the wrong thing. Pointing his finger at the blackboard, he translated the sentences word for word into Chinese:Zen me shi ni? Zen me lao shi ni?The whole room then broke into a sea of shouting and waves of rejoicing swept over eve ryone’s face.My first teaching experience was a success and I learned a lesson, too: It is no easy job to teach.UNIT4Working with words and expressions1)grin 2) browse 3) shivered 4) hearty 5) nerves6) courtship 7) pinching 8) napping 9) blinking 10) bragging 1) live off 2) cut loose 3) shot out 4) (were?) weighed down 5) stopped short of 6) washing them down with 7) shake ... out8) come up to 9) hosing downIncreasing Your Word Power2. 1) smile 2) laugh 3) grin 4) chuckle 5) giggle 6) roarCloze1)cracking 2) living 3) refrigerator 4) quart 5) change 6) porch 7) race 8) cleaning 9) casually 10) hearty 11) Eventually12) saw 13) browsing 14) scared 15) courtshipTRANSLATIONLife is full of miracles. Sometimes, a chance meeting ca lead to a happy marriage.When he was twenty, he was college poor. One day, he went to buy some beer and on his way back he saw his neighbor, a Japanese woman, cracking walnuts on her front porch. He walked slowly and she looked up, smiling. He smiled back and said hello, and returned with the beer to his apartment, his heart still with the girl.So he raced his heart downstairs, but stopped short of her house, because he didn't know what to say. After a while, with studied casualness he walked past the girl who was cleaning up the shells, but he only came up with a hearty hello and walked away. He was troubled by his ow indecision. Then, he returned, walking past her again. They smiled to each other, but again nothing was said before he returned to his apartment.Later, they began to talk, sit together on the porch, and snack on the sweet bread she baked personally. Then they held hands. Eventually, he married the woman he found cracking walnuts on an afternoon.Had he not gone for the beer, or had he met someone else instead of her, his life would have been totally different.WRITINGSample Essay: My Views on Love at First SightWe often hear people talk about “love at first sight”? Some accept the idea and may cite such and such examples to prove that it works. Others consider it just as a case of romance but would not take it as a golden rule for a happy marriage. My opinion is that for those who wish to develop serious and lasting relationships, love at first sight? is a dangerous game to play. First of all, love at first sight may tempt one to jump on the bandwagon of love with too much haste. One needs to figure out what one really wants from a love relationship before declaring that he or she is in love. Love takes time to blossom and it takes a lot of mutual understanding, caring, sharing and affection. If you are not ready to take the responsibility of loving and being loved, then do not make haste, for haste makes waste. Secondly, love at first sight is often prompted by physical attraction, but true love is grounded not just on mutual attraction but rather on mental compatibilities. In developing a lifetime relationship, inner charm, personality traits, character and values arc the most important factors to be considered. I believe in three old sayings: “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”? but “beauty is only skin deep”? and “beauty comes from within”? It is true that love is a feeling that cannot be rationally explained, but true love is different from puppy love or innocent crushes. So, if you have fallen in love at first sight, be sober and wise. Don't make a hasty decision on a matter of lifetime significance.UNIT5Increase your language proficiency1) delight 2) ducked 3) thrust 4) strained 5) resentful 6) distressed 7) alarmed 8) contradicting 9) intent 10) hovered 11) perched12) wrestling2. l) went out for 2) pin him down 3) hold back 4) now and then5) throwing a glance 6) scrambled to my feet 7) There’S no point in 8) bent downCLOZE1)master 2) case3) burn 4) bewilderment 5) baffled6)swept 7) gasping 8) perched 9) grinned 10) give11) prostrate 12) queer 13) lurked 14) pounce 15) cub TRANSLATI ONWhen he was little, his father would bend down from his great height to sweep him into the air. But he was never afraid, not with his father’s hands holding him. To him, no one in the world was as strong, or as wise, as his father.As he grew, he would lurk behind the kitchen door when it was time for his father to conic home at night. Lie would leap out when his father asked about him.After he went to school, they would wrestle on the floor together. Every time, his father would master him with ease, leaving him half resentful and half mirthful.In high school he was surprised to find that there was so much more of him, and he could look down on his mother. But when it came to wrestling, he was still no equal of his father.One night, he suddenly found that his father didn’t look nearl y as tall as he used to. He could even look his father straight in the eyes now. He challenged his father once more and this time, it was his father who said, give? His mother helped his father to rise, and there was baffled pain in her eyes.His father spoke of a next time, and his mother did not contradict, because the three of them knew that there would never be a next time. He ran through the kitchen door, stood on the steps and let tears burn his eyes and run down his cheeks.WritingSample Essay: My Father and IWhen I was a small girl, I had an indescribable fear of my father, who looked so huge and strong and always spoke in a loud and harsh voice. He was a factory worker and seldom stayed home with me by day. In my memory, he never said anything li ke “I love you” to me, and I always saw him as being a strict disciplinarian who rarely cracked a smile. I still remember how I used to break into fits of temper and how I played a pampered child in the presence of my mother. But never did I dare to do so when my father was around. The only occasion when I could feel hisaffection was our occasional Sun day trips to the park -- My father would lift me tip and perch me upon his broad shoulders and I would hold lily head high like a princess.When I started school, I noticed a big change in my father. Tie became so gentle and caring toward me. I could always see sparks of affection in his eyes. Every day, he would get up earlier and walk me to school. It was then that we started to have heart-to-heart talks. He always inquired about my schoolwork and when I did not get a good grade, lie would give me a broad smile and say: never mind. You’ll do better next time”. And for years, my birthday present from him was invariably stationery. I knew that he wanted me to get a college education and make good, for lie did not have one owing to historical reasons.I’m a sophomore and living on campus flow. I seldom see my parents, but we make it a rule to talk on the phone once a week. Unlike my mother who usually asks me to take care of myself, Father always talks about how to be a good person. My fear of him has long incited away and we both feel closer to each other now. Last night as we were about to end our phone conversation, he said in a shaky voice, “daddy loves you!” And before I could say “I love you, too” he hung up.。

Finally. they found the treasure that had been hidden.c. ~is is the place that is most frequently reported in the press.d. The boy who was enchanted stared at the screen, mouth wide open.Now, ask students to summarize the use of the -ing and -ed forms as modifiers Summary1.The –ing form of a verb is used when the action described by the verb continues tohappen or when the relationship between the modified and the verb is active.2.The –ed form of a verb is used when the action is completed at the time anotheraction occurs or when the relationship between the modified and the verb ispassive.NounsReference for the Classroom Activitiesa. development of career educatorsb. readjustment of the flight timetablec. money problems of high-school art educationd. country for family vacatione. the study of the growth of childhood personalityNow, ask students to summarize the rules of using nouns as modifiers. SummaryNouns can be put ahead of another noun as its modifiers in English; but too manly nouns clustered can cause ambiguity and misunderstanding. Very often the maximum of nouns as modifiers is two, though sometimes this number may be exceeded. So the guiding principle for noun modifiers is that they shouldn’t pose too much difficulty to the reader’s comprehension.AdverbsReference for the Classroom Activitiesa.drive breezily (modifying the verb)b.strangely beautiful(modifying the adjective)c.too slowly(modifying the adverb)d.Firstly,1et’s listen to Dr．Smith’s report on his latest research．(modifying thewhole sentence)Now, ask students to summarize the rules of using adverbs as modifiers SummaryAn adverb can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or even a whole sentence. It usually appears after the verb it modifies but before the adjective or the adverb. If it modifies the whole sentence, it can appear either at the beginning or at the end.Problems with modifiersReference for the Classroom Activities1．The problem with these phrases is the redundancy of modifiers．The modifiers are useless for they do nothing but repeat what the following nouns say．Useless modifiers can make your writing repetitious and wordy．2．a. The notice said nothing else．b. People other than visitors were not invited to see the exhibits．c. The visitors were invited to do nothing but see the exhibits on the third floor．D. There might be exhibits on other floors but the visitors were invited to see those the third floor.Now．ask students to summarize the problems with modifiers.Summary1.One problem is about useless modifiers. A useless modifier adds nothing to themeaning of the modified but redundancy.2.Another problem is concerned with misplaced modifiers. Clear writing demandsthat modifiers be put as close as possible to the word or phrase being modified. PART V FOLLOW-UP EXERCISES1. a. When I was assigned a certain task, I did it to my best abilityb. Fog can cause blindness.c. Recently 1 joined a social club which raises money for the care of needychildren, and we meet every Wednesday afternoon.d.

大学英语课后作文答案（新世纪综合教程4）

大学英语课后作文答案(新世纪综合教程4)BOOK 4Unit 1My Understanding of Environmental ProtectionMan and the environment are closely related. Man relies on the environment for water, food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and the environment is essential for human survival on the earth.However, man and the environment have never been on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops, man's transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns, causing devastating floods, droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment, human beings may be the next species to become extinct.We should do our best to protect our environment by planting more trees, taking care of wildlife, reducing industrial wastes, using renewable energy, and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities, so as to preserve the environment for future generations.Unit 2The Impact of the Mobile Phone on People's LivesAmong the many technological inventions, the mobile phone impresses me most.The mobile phone brings considerable convenience to our lives. It not only enables us to keep in touch with each other almost anytime and anywhere but also helps us solve problems or do business efficiently. In emergencies, a mobile phone can even be a life-saver. Besides, its multi-functions add ease and color to our lives. With a mobile phone, we can receive mail, read news, listen to music, play games, and take pictures.Y et, the mobile phone has its disadvantages, too. Most of us have experienced the nuisance of unwanted or wrong calls. We are inconvenienced by calls on occasions when we least expect one. Besides, the technology infrastructure to support mobile communication has consumed valuable natural resources and caused significant environmental problems. It is reported that electromagnetic radiation waves from the phone may result in health problems.Despite its negative side, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages. I believe that with advances in science and technology, improved and safer models of mobile phones will surely serve us still better.Unit 3Barriers to Knowledge TransferKnowledge transfer is a human phenomenon and plays a very important role in the process of human evolution. With the knowledge accumulated over generations, human beings can now build and transform societies with unprecedented knowledge resources.However, there are many barriers to knowledge transfer. For example, lack of trust and resistance to change undermine the transfer of knowledge. People are less likely to acquire knowledge from those whom they don't trust or to adopt new theories and practices they are not familiar with. Cultural and language barriers also hamper the transfer of knowledge between nations or ethnic groups. It would be almost impossible for people who speak different languages or dialects with different cultural backgrounds to communicate effectively, not to mention exchanging knowledge.An underdeveloped economy is another barrier to knowledge transfer. The lack of socio-economic and techno-environmental cooperation, as well as poor communications infrastructure, can greatly hinder the flow of knowledge within and between nations.To remove these barriers, people should change their attitude towards knowledge transfer and the learning of foreign languages and cultures. At the same time, efforts should be made to develop a better world economy.Unit 4My Career ChoiceWhen it comes to the choice of career, different people consider the matter from different perspectives. Personally I prefer to be a teacher.I have three reasons for my decision. The first reason is that the profession of teaching is in agreement with my personality. Being an outgoing, patient and understanding person, I think I am able to communicate with my students and understand their feelings easily, which constitutes an important factor in ensuring success in teaching. The second reason is that I am interested in the job. It would always give me great joy and satisfaction to see the happy faces of my students, to share my knowledge and life experience with them and to participate in their process of growing up. The third reason is related to my occupational attitude. I always believe that school teachers all over the world are respected for their profound knowledge and higher social status. I have always held my teachers in respect and I hope I would be respected as a teacher, too, in the future.I think teaching is an ideal career for me. Being a university student now, I will work hard to realize my dream.Unit 5Fame — Good or EvilFame has always been pursued by many people for the advantages it brings about. Fame can assure one of a high social status, high regard, great admiration, etc. Fame can also bring one wealth as a celebrity has more chances to earn big money. Besides, the applauses and flowers from the fans may boost one's self-confidence and increase one's sense of fulfillment.However, fame can ruin one's life, too. It deprives one of his privacy. As a public figure, he is often chased by fans and journalists, and his private life never escapes the media's attention or public curiosity. Fame also places one under great pressure. He has to work in line with public expectations and thus becomes the slave of his own success.So fame is a double-edged sword. I don't seek fame and I don't envy those who are famous. I highly appreciate what the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says about fame: "The talent of success is nothing more than doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame".Unit 6Attitudes Towards LifePeople hold different attitudes towards life. Some take a positive attitude and they always appreciate the beauty of life with zeal and gratitude. Some take a negative attitude towards life and any slight trouble in life may seem like the end of the world to them.A positive attitude ensures a happy, successful and healthy life. With a positive attitude, people find it easy to accept challenges and overcome obstacles while maintaining peace of mind. Besides, a positive attitude boosts their self-esteem, lifts their morale and helps them fulfill their commitments both in their career and in their everyday life. Moreover, medical research shows that positive thinking can improve the immune system and strengthen the body's resistance to diseases.There are several ways to develop a positive attitude towards life. One needs to think positively, read uplifting stories, hang around with optimistic people, give up jealousy, and participate in meaningful activities. By building a positive attitude towards life, one can enjoy a happy, successful and healthy life.Unit 7Healthy LifestylesDifferent people have different interpretations of a healthy lifestyle. To me, a healthy lifestyle means living in a way that helps us to be physically, mentally and emotionally healthy.We can benefit a lot from living a healthy lifestyle. On the one hand, a healthy lifestyle can help us to keep fit, increase our life expectancy, and help us form good living habits. On the other hand, a healthy lifestyle enhances self-esteem and confidence, reduces stress and pressure, and enables us to develop a positive outlook and live in harmony with each other. In short, a healthy lifestyle improves our overall sense of well-being and happiness.There are many ways to develop a healthy lifestyle. We need to exercise regularly, keep a balanced diet, and avoid alcohol and cigarettes. It would also help if we could balance our time for work and play, and find ways to release stress and pressure. With such efforts, we will be able to live in a way that contributes to our physical, mental, and emotional health.Unit 8My Understanding of Honesty and SuccessDifferent people have different opinions about the relationship between honesty and success.Some people believe that honesty and success are mutually exclusive. They regard honesty as a wasteful and costly investment that will only hinder success and prevent people from quick wins. Money-making tricks such as low-quality and fake products, or practices like plagiarism and bribery are seen as short-cuts to immediate success.However, many people hold that honesty and success are mutually supportive. They believe that honesty is the only means to an end. Being honest will definitely earn a person not only a good reputation but also more opportunities to develop his or her career and ability. Honesty also helps cultivate an upright and healthy personality and brings people true pride and deep joy.I agree with the latter viewpoint. Honesty is a virtue that every one of us should value. It can bring out the best in a person and will give him or her the best reward in return. Those who are honest may suffer temporary losses sometimes, but they will benefit in the long run. In short, only by being honest consistently and persistently can we gain true and lasting success.。

I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare.

Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much horrified Aunt Susan was every day, and how much overjoyed she was to see Uncle Robert back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced, in their daily life, giving and sharing instead of pursuing passion and romance, or making complaints. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.Unit ThreeFriendshipEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions3.In the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

No one will deny that some people make friends simply for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more people long for “soul pals”— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and inspire us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call “true friendship”. It is in the company of such friends that we find ourselves surpassing our old selves and becoming better persons / people.Unit FoursportsEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▇Working with Words and Expressions1.In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Translate the following paragraph into English, using the words and expressions in the box below.▇Answers for reference:A gold medal is a tribute to the athletic talent, determination and courage of an Olympic champion. Then how do the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to be so highly honored? The champions who have mounted the winners’ stand can offer an answer based on their own experiences. First, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. Once their dreams of becoming champions take shape, they will cling to t hem courageously. What’s more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. They discipline themselves and s queeze in every possible minute to practice every day. Despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimesfail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. They are ready to take on the most psychologically and technically challenging tasks or competitions. In reality, all champions have experienced lots of hardships on their way to the vital break of their lifetime. So we won’t and can’t say that a champion is lucky. After all, luck only strikes those prepared to capitalize on it.。

Unit IWrite a passage in about 120 words, taking either of the following titles:1)why I like to learn English2)why I hate to learn EnglishSample Essay1) Why I Like to Learn EnglishI have learned English for about seven years. I should say that I am highly motivated to (非常有动力去)master English. First of all, learning English us useful, as it is becoming a world language and people from different countries often communicate with one another in English. If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them. Secondly, I like traveling a lot, a good mastery of English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world. Finally, I like literature a lot. If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickens and many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions（翻译版）. So I think I will work ever harder to learn English well.2)Why I hate to learn EnglishI have learned English for about seven years. I should say the more I learn English, the more Ihate it. First of all, learning English is boring. I have to memorize （记住）many new words or rely on a dictionary to frequently check unknown words. Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time. Secondly, I don’t understand why we have to learn a foreign language. I don’t want to go abroad and I can always find a job that doesn’t need English in China. Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read. So if I d on’t have to learn English. I would rather use the time I spend on English to do things I like.Unit 2In about 100-120 words, write about a conflict you once had with your parents. You can start with either of the following opening.1)I was very unhappy with my mother/father the other day…..2)I was grateful (感激的) that my mother/father criticize me the other day……Sample writing:1）I was very unhappy with my father the other day. He must have called out to me for help with some housework, but I was so absorbed in reading（沉迷于,专注于、、、）that I didn’t hear him. He stepped into my room, apparently in anger, grabbed(抓起) mybook and threw it on the floor. I got upset and insisted that he should pick it up andapologize to me. When he remained silent, I ran our and went off to play games withmy friends in the neighborhood（家庭所在的街区）. When it was turning dark, I sawmy father looking around for me, he patted me on the head and walked back home withe, his arm wrapped around my shoulder. When I got home, I saw my book had“returned” to my reading table.2）I was grateful that my mother criticized me that other day. I had been asking her for money to buy all kinds of things that my friends have-a new pair of shoes or some newclothes. Every time I was refused, I played the same trick(玩同样的把戏)—threatening to（威胁）pour the dish she cooked for the family into the river. Mymother gave in each time I threatened to do that, but one day, she criticized me reallyhard. She scolded me for being selfish (批评我自私自利)and inconsiderate （不会体谅他人）and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on （反思）my own behavior. Icouldn’t believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew afraid, I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards. I was thankful that my mother made me realize my mistake.Unit 31)Describes a few of your own personality traits, then identify your favorite colorand see if the descriptions of the color in ext B match your personality or not?Sample essay:I have been described by many friends as a warm, sociable, and outgoing extravert外向型的）. I find it easy to make new friends and I enjoy the company（陪伴）of people who share similar characteristics as I. When I am at a party, many people including those I do not know, will talk to me. I am not a great beauty, neither am I rich and intelligent. In fact, I am just a very simple person who is happy and smiles a lot. Maybe being happy is the attraction, I like bright colours, especially red. It is said that people who like red are passionate and have a lot of energy. I agree that I am enthusiastic about(对、、、很热衷) many things and like doing many things at he same time. So it seem there is some truth after all in what color says about a person’s personality2)Think of the person you admire most, Write two personality traits that you likemost about this person. Remember to give an example for each personalitytraits.Sample EssayThe person I admire most is my father’s younger brother. He is known to us as ba shu because he is the eighth son in a family of eleven. He is a high achiever(志存高远).Since young, he has done well in his studies and work. For example, he received a prestigious（优等的）scholarship （奖学金）to study at a well-known medical school in England. Today, at the age of 62, he is still as outstanding. He is a well-respected surgeon and has won many awards（获得奖励）. What I like most about ba shu Iis his sensitive nature, especially towards children who are born unlucky. He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to（为、、、、作出牺牲）help those in poor and developing countries. His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impressed me a lot. 3）Imagine that you had been given a wish to change your life. Write about two personality traits that you would like to have and give your reasons.Sample EssayIf I were given a wish to have two personality traits, I would choose to be an optimistic and creative person. I would like to be an optimistic person because those who are optimistic are usually satisfied and contented with (对、、、满意) what they have. They seldom let sadness be a part of their life. I want to be happy and being optimistic is one way to remain happy. I also would like to be creative. I think that creativity is inherited.Some may disagree and say that we can learn to be creative. However, no matter how hard one learns, it is those born with the talent of creativity who will make a great name for(成就名声) themselves like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.4）Write about a person whom you dislike most and give one or two reasons or example why you dislike him or her so much.Sample EssayThere is no one person I dislike most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate(忍受): aggressiveness( 有攻击性的，很强势的) and selfishness.Aggressive people do not consider others’feelings and will not think twice abouthurting even those closest to them. I once had a neighbor who would beat his wife oneday and appear loving the next. His wife lived I fear constantly but could do nothingbecause he was in control of her, another personality trait I dislike is selfishness. Likeaggressive people, selfish people only think of themselves. There are many everydayexamples of selfishness such as those not willing to lend things to others and those notwanting to share exam tips even with their best friends. If you know someone with acombination of aggressiveness and selfishness you should consider whether to call himor her a friend.Unit 4 Write a short passage of about 100-120 words on the topic:living in a Nursing Home : A Plan for the Future?”.Sample Essay:Thanks to medical advances(医疗进步) and better living conditions, most of us can live longer. The issue of where we will stay when we get to old has become a concern for（成为大家关心的问题）everyone. I did a survey last week on “ Are you willing to go and live in a nursing home when you grow old?”. Of the ten people surveyed, seven said”yes”.According to them, living in a nursing home would enable them to meet people of similar ages, get instant medical care, and have their meals and laundry taken care of. The three who don’t want to stay in a nursing home think living in a nursing home would make them feel lonely and abandoned on the one hand and would have their privacy intruded (侵犯)upon on the other. Nonetheless, the survey does suggest that more people would be willing to live in a nursing home in the future.Unit51) In about 100-120 words, write about an incident of misunderstanding betweenyou and your mother/father. Tell us about how it all started and what happened inthe end.Sample essayOne afternoon, I was wandering along（闲逛）the main street of our small town witha friend. Suddenly I saw my mother. She was behaving very strangely. She looked aroundbefore going quickly into a shop. When she came out, she had a box in her hand. I was terrified; I knew some of my villagers resorted to（求助于）theft because they were poor.The thought that my mother could be one of them drove me crazy. I was determined to (决心去) find out the truth form her. When I questioned her, tears filled her eyes. She told me she was collecting beer cans from some kind shop owners who offered them to her, but would feel embarrassed if she was seen by others. I cried and hugged her and felt sorry that I had misunderstood my own mother.3)In about 100-120 words, describe the similarities and differences in the way your fatherand mother show their love for you. Be sure to give examples.Sample EssayMy parents differ greatly in showing their love for me. while my mother appears more anxious and depressed if anything goes wrong with me, my father tends to be silent and expresses his concern for me mainly through actions rather than words. I still remember theday when I left home for university. When my mother was in tears and kept giving me endless advice, my father remained silent. But when he saw an ice-cream man on the platform(月台), he rushed towards him and got me an ice-cream just before the train started to move. I learned from my mother later that father locked himself up in his room after returning home and cried for the first time in his life. I never expected that my departure（离开）would trigger（引起）such an emotional response from my father.Unit6Sample Essay1）I like Christmas because the festive atmosphere （节日气氛）created by the occasion is so overwhelming（铺天盖地）. You can see pretty seasonal decorations everywhere, Christmas lights, flowers, and pictures of Father Christmas with a smiling face. You may even meet a “real” Father Christmas on the street busy handing our candies to kids. The atmosphere does lift everybody’s spirits, since joy and excitement seem to be contagious（有感染力的）;everyone around us looks happier and is more patient with each other during the festive season.We send each other Christmas greetings and give Christmas gifts to our friends and relatives.Even friends who have not been in constant touch also” appear” again at this time to send their regards.2）I don’t like Christmas because today’s Christmas has been entirely commercialized. Shops try all sorts of tricks to attract customers, by putting up fanciful Christmas decorations, by offering seasonal discounts and even by asking somebody to play Father Christmas to give out gifts. Behind all the smiles and the beautiful decoration, I do not care of a spirit of giving. I only see one word, which is “profit”. Everybody does Christmas shopping at this time to get Christmas gifts for their family members or friends. As for me, I believe it is more important to show care and concern for my family members and friends all year round than just give them a “once a year’Christmas gift.。
