RenaissanceFor example; the helpless fate can be felt from the tragedy works; written by Shakespeare. Mona Lisa; created by Beethoven; revealed the mysterious and implicit smile.Although works completed by different artists and writers revealed slight variations in the access; performing form; and social aspect focusing on; as far as common theme and hidden ideas were concerned; the obvious similries to each other seemed much more than any of the minute differences; namely; resisting the feudalization and corrupt institution and enlightening freedom of human being. This is called “Renaissance” in the history.Genetic engineering迄今为止;基因工程还没有用于人体;但已在从细菌到家畜的几乎所有非人生命物体上做了实验;并取得了成功..事实上;所有用于治疗糖尿病的胰岛素都来自一种细菌;其DNA中被插入人类可产生胰岛素的基因;细菌便可自行复制胰岛素..基因工程技术使得许多植物具有了抗病虫害和抗除草剂的能力;在美国;大约有一半的大豆和四分之一的玉米都是转基因的..目前;是否该在农业中采用转基因动植物已成为人们争论的焦点:支持者认为;转基因的农产品更容易生长;也含有更多的营养甚至药物;有助于减缓世界范围内的饥荒和疾病;而反对者则认为;在农产品中引入新的基因会产生副作用;尤其是会破坏环境..诚然;仍有许多基因的功能及其协同工作的方式不为人类所知;但想到利用基因工程可使番茄具有抗癌作用、使鲑鱼长得比自然界中的大几倍、使宠物不再会引起过敏;许多人便希望也可以对人类基因做类似的修改..毕竟;胚胎遗传病筛查、基因修复和基因工程等技术不仅可用于治疗疾病;也为改变诸如眼睛的颜色、智力等其他人类特性提供了可能..比如;运用此技术;可使患儿的父母生一个和患儿骨髓匹配的孩子;然后再通过骨髓移植来治愈患儿..So far; genetic engineering has not been used in human; but it has achieved successful experiment in almost all the objects on non-human life--from bacteria to livestock already. In fact; all the insulin treatment for diabetes come from a kind of bacteria which can be inserted into a human genes to make copies of insulin by bacteria oneself. Genetic engineering technology makes many plants have the disease-resistant ability and herbicide; In the USA; about half of soybean and a quarter of corn is genetically modified.At present; whether the transgenic plants used in agriculture has become the focus of debate; transgenic supporters think: the agricultural is faster to growth; and easier to contain more nutrition even medicine; to help slow down worldwide famine and disease; But opponents argued; introducing new genes into agricultural will occur side effects; especially destroy the environment.Advantage:Admittedly; ethicist rejected the innovative development of genetic engineering because; although it resolved some problems; it also produced new complications. Nevertheless;there are still many genes function and work principle beyond human knowledge; but using genetic engineering can make the tomatoes have anti-cancer effects; make the salmon bigger than in nature; and also make pet no longer allergy; many people are expect to do similar human genetic modification. After all; gene engineering technology can not only cure the disease; also make most possibility for change human characteristics; such as eye color; intelligence and others. For example; by using this technology; it is possible to make the parents pregnant to born a baby whose bone matches one needs homogenous bone; and then through the bone marrow transplants to cure patients.We said the advantages and disadvantages of biological technology; is mainly refers to the genetic engineering.弊:1 克隆将减少遗传变异;通过克隆产生的个体具有同样的遗传基因;同样的疾病敏感性;一种疾病就可以毁灭整个由克隆产生的群体.. 可以设想;如果一个国家的牛群都是同一个克隆产物;一种并不严重的病毒就可能毁灭全国的畜牧业..2 克隆技术的使用将使人们倾向于大量繁殖现有种群中最有利用价值的个体;而不是按自然规律促进整个种群的优胜劣汰..从这个意义上说;克隆技术干扰了自然进化过程.7 克隆技术对家庭关系带来的影响也将是巨大的..一个由父亲的DNA克隆生成的孩子可以看作父亲的双胞胎兄弟;只不过延迟了几十年出生而已..很难设想;当一个人发现自己只不过是另外一个人的完全复制品;他或她会有什么感受所以说;科学技术有时就是一把双刃剑;有利也有没弊;没有标准答案就看人们这样利用了Disadvantages:1 genetic engineering would reduce the genetic variation of individuals and own the same diseases sensitivity ; as a result;a disease can destroy whole colony by cloning. So we can imagine that; if a nation is the same cloned cattle; a kind of the virus could destroy the animal husbandry.2 The use of genetic engineering will make people tend to propagate the most value individual within existing colony; rather than the natural law of survival. In this sense; the cloning technology will interrupt the procession of natural evolution. Interference7 genetic engineering will lead a great influence on family relationships. A father of the DNA can be seen as twin brothers; but only delayed for decades. It is hard to imagine that; when a man found himself was just another man's fully reproductions; what feelings will he or she haveSo; science and technology is a double-edged sword; sometimes; there are no harm and no standard answer Just look like people to use GalileoGalileo; Italian astronomer and physicist; discovered law of uniform acceleration of falling bodies.For example; Galileo; the great astronomer and physicist in X century; overthrowed the famous theory ;established over 2000 years ago by great people—Aritle; through the experience and thus led to discover law of uniform acceleration of falling bodies.

3.Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was one of the pivotal leaders of the American civil rights movement. King was a Baptist minister, one of the few leadership roles available to black men at the time. He became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–1956) and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (1957), serving as its first president. His efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his ―I Have a Dream‖ speech. Here he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means.King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Jimmy Carter in 1977. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a national holiday in the United States in 1986. In 2004, King was posthumously awarded a Congressional Gold Medal.4. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (IPA: [xoˈliɬaɬa manˈdeːla]; born 18 July 1918 in Transkei, South Africa)[1] is a former President of South Africa, the first to be elected in a fully representative democratic election, who held office from 1994–99. Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and the leader of the African National Congress's armed wing Umkhonto we Sizwe. The South African courts convicted him on charges of sabotage, as well as other crimes committed while he led the movement against apartheid. In acc ordance with his conviction, Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these years on Robben Island. He is currently a celebrated elder statesman who continues to voice his opinion on topical issues. In South Africa he is often known as Madiba, an honorary title adopted by elders of Mandela's clan. The title has come to be synonymous with Nelson Mandela.Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela supported reconciliation and negotiation, and helped lead the transition towards multi-racial democracy in South Africa. Since the end of apartheid, many have frequently praised Mandela, including former opponents. Mandela has received more than one hundred awards over four decades, most notably the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.7. Charles Darwin(1809-1882) was an English naturalist and author. His Origin of Species (1859) and Decent of Men (1871) exerted a strong impact in the history of Western thought. In his books, Darwin hypothesized that over the millennia man had evolved from lower forms of life. Humans were special, not because God had created them in His image, but because they had successfully adapted to changing environmental conditions and had passed on their survival?making characteristics genetically. Survival of the fittest is the fact or principle of the survival of the forms of plant and animal life best fitted for existing conditions, while related but less fit forms become extinct.Charles DarwinNaturalist1809 -1882I have called this principle, by whicheach slight variation, if useful, is preserved,by the term Natural Selection.—Charles Darwin from "The Origin of Species"Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. He was the fifth child and second son of Robert Waring Darwin and Susannah Wedgwood. Darwin was the British naturalist who became famous for his theories of evolution and natural selection. Like several scientists before him, Darwin believed all the life on earth evolved (developed gradually) over millions of years from a few common ancestors.From 1831 to 1836 Darwin served as naturalist aboard the H.M.S. Beagle on a British science expedition around the world. In South America Darwin found fossils of extinct animals that were similar to modern species. On the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean he noticed many variations among plants and animals of the same general type as those in South America. The expedition visited places around the world, and Darwin studied plants and animals everywhere he went, collecting specimens for further study.Upon his return to London Darwin conducted thorough research of his notes and specimens. Out of this study grew several related theories: one, evolution did occur; two, evolutionary change was gradual, requiring thousands to millions of years; three, the primary mechanism for evolution was a process called natural selection; and four, the millions of species alive today arose from a single original life form through a branching process called "speciation."Darwin's theory of evolutionary selection holds that variation within species occurs randomly and that the survival or extinction of each organism is determined by that organism's ability to adapt to its environment. He set these theories forth in his book called, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1859) or "The Origin of Species" for short. After publication of Origin of Species, Darwin continued to write on botany, geology, and zoology until his death in 1882. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.Darwin's work had a tremendous impact on religious thought. Many people strongly opposed the idea of evolution because it conflicted with their religious convictions. Darwin avoided talking about the theological and sociological aspects of his work, but other writers used his theories to support their own theories about society. Darwin was a reserved, thorough, hard working scholar who concerned himself with the feelings and emotions not only of his family, but friends and peers as well.It has been supposed that Darwin renounced evolution on his deathbed. Shortly after his death,temperance campaigner and evangelist Lady Elizabeth Hope claimed she visited Darwin at his deathbed, and witnessed the renunciation. Her story was printed in a Boston newspaper and subsequently spread. Lady Hope's story was refuted by Darwin's daughter Henrietta who stated, "I was present at his deathbed ... He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier."。

GRE issue写作范文:冒险与方案题目:Success in any realm of life comes more often from taking chances or risks than from careful and cautious planning.在生活的全部领域中,胜利往往更多的来自于把握机会或者冒险而不是通过认真谨慎的方案。
正文:The speaker asserts people are more likely to attain success when taking chances or risks than planning carefully and cautiously. However, after comparing the characteristics of careful planning and taking chances, I strongly hold that they are of the same importance in the pursuit of success.In competitive sports, while making appropriate training plans and effective competition strategies constitute necessary conditions of winning the matches, taking risks is almost inevitable when athletes or their coaches confront a sudden matter that might influence the course of a match and that has not been taken into consideration beforehand. In modern competitive sports, it is widely acknowledged that scientific and effective training contributes to athletes’ better performance during matches. Good competition strategies, on the other hand, resulting in the better allocation of physical force, better use of skills or the higher rate inscoring, also play a vital role.However, when the star players of a soccer team or a basketball team are off the game or fail to implement their chief coachs strategic intention, leaving the whole team in adverseness, the coach faces the choice whether to substitute he/she or not. No doubt substituting a star player with a bench player means taking risk because the bench player may not perform as good as the star player and may make matters worse. If this happens, the substitution will incur discontentment of the players and critique from the teams fans, media and the boss. The capability of the coach may then be suspected and he/she may even be fired. Nevertheless, if the coach dares not to take the risk to substitute a poorly performed star player, his/her team will probably lose the game. Taking chances and risks is reasonable when one is dealing with something that has not been taken into consideration previously. So, in competitive sports, planning and risking are both necessary.In academic fields, careful and cautious planning is required for large projects and application disciplines while revolutionary scientific breakthroughs are almost impossible without taking chances or risks. Before starting the research project on human genome, scientists had already made plans on the content and method of the research. They did not have to take any chances or risks because all they should do have already been carefully planned. There were no technical obstacles that had not been solved. Therefore, they just followed the plan step by step and accomplished the project in the end. As for significant scientific breakthroughs, they are the important discoveries and theories that disaccord, at least to some extent, with established principles or our intuitions, such as the Theory of Relativity and quantum mechanics. One has no choice but to take chances because established theories may not be applicable on the boundary of what is known and what is unknown. Only after being examined through experiments, practices and observations, can they be confirmed or belied. In a word, planning and taking chances or risks are different means for different levels of academic researches.In the business world, cautious planning contributes to the long-term development of a company and at the same time, risking is imperative for a company to survive, develop and thrive in the highly competitive society. Planning carefully on inquiring market, training stuff and manufacturing products ensure a companys long-term development by keeping its profit increasing or at least not declining. On the other hand, taking risks, such as incorporating with another company, involving in the market fields that have already been occupied by other enterprises or involving in the market fields that are not considered so profitable, is also necessary because these may save the company from the adversity or help to set foot in new businesses. Clearly,in the business field, planning and risking complement each other.To conclude, success in any realm of life comes equally from taking chances or risks and from careful and cautious planning. In most cases, they complement each other and pave the way towards success.GRE Issue写作优秀实例:达到目标的手段题目:If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it are justifiable.只要值得,不择手段达到目的是合理的。

"Success, whether academic or professional, involves an ability to survive in a new environment and, eventually, to change it."Many wonder the intrinsic impact of industrial revolution over the last century. Is it a blessing or a curse? Ever since the invention of steam engine, mass production enabled factories to make out products in a madly efficient manner, while machines also supplanted innumerous traditionally skilled artisan, forcing them out of work. Gone are the days when they boasted of their craftsmanship that they assumed to be able support their family all their life. Consumers became more aspiring to novel design instead of durability as goods were made to be discarded.Hundreds years later, with the first installation of integrated circuit on the chip, another profound turnover took place. Now the computer pervades our life so much that one may find himself half illiterate in absence of input skill. This time, thousands of jobs were created in Silicon Valley, transforming some of the few into billionaire over one night. Nevertheless, the original inventor might not expect that the ensuing slow down and thus recession in IT sector would approach so soon in less than 10 years, which is obviously less than a presumable 15 years time normal for a periodical change.Positive or negative, one mark that characterizes the technological bombardment indicates a constant fact: changes exist ubiquitously and operating at an ever-increasing tempo; those who fail to catch up with the torrent of change would ineluctably engulfed by billows, floating no where and eventually dissolve as negligible bubbles.Favors as well as opportunities goes to who adapt to the contemporary trend. Fully recognizing this axiom, long before the scientists announced accomplishment of sketches of human genes or earlier successful cloning of Doris, candidates preparing for university admission have smelt the sense. Today, in the U.S., biology and its branch disciplines become the first choice for top students of senior high, determining that this subject, foretold as the third wave in technology, could bring them brilliant future as“Bill Gates”dreamt the same in the previous wave.In addition to academic realm, respect would be paid to people who though deprived of their past secure professions, choose not to be a loser in the whimsical society. Like the artisans who lost jobs, a vast number of skilled laborer in China’s city of Wengzhou have undergone darkness and depressio n in those old days. However, after years of endeavor and refinement, they prove their value again. By accurately posit the economic trend and market demand, they play an active role in almost all economic sectors, garments, catering and lodging, hi-tech industry, you name it.While ability honed in surviving the fickleness of the world makes the path through success shorter, it is essential for the more ambitious to acquire the pith of reformist and lead the trend. In this way, it could help him distinguish from the mediocracy and platitude. This is absolutely not an easy task. Inborn insight and foresight are needed to tell uncommon out of the commonplace; extraordinary perseveranceand encouragement is a must to face the coming challenges against his iconoclasm. Very few people crowned with triumph possess this quality, whether the Nobel Prize winner or those who makes coverage on the Times.In sum, as shown in the course of history, success, whether academic or professional, involves an ability to surviving in a new environment and---, eventually, ---to change it.

GRE作文范例ISSUE段模板介绍GRE作文困扰广大考生的难题之一是时间不够用.而写作模板则可以为考生省下不少构思的时间,腾出更多精力进行论证段的写作.今天小编给大家带来了GRE写作ISSUE5大开头结尾精选模板实例介绍,希望能够帮助到大家,一起来学习吧.GRE作文ISSUE开头段3大优质模板介绍GREISSUE作文的开头方式比较常见的有这3种:直接陈述观点+概述理由;比较双方观点,阐明自己观点;背景开头+立场.下面我们逐一来看一下3种方式的具体模板:1. 开门见山亮观点讲道理I agree with the speaker s broad assertion that money spent on research isgenerally well invested. However, the speaker unnecessarily e_tends this broadassertion to embrace research whose results are controversial, while ignoringcertain compelling reasons why some types of research might be unjustifiable. Mypoints of contention with the speaker involve the fundamental objectives andnature of research, as discussed below.例文中先支持原文观点:把钱话在研究上是很好的投资;然后转折:结果有争议的研究可以不包含在投资范围的;最后,引出下文要论述的理由.2. 对比观点后给出自己观点There is much debate over the universal issues whether or not tradition andmodernization are incompatible. Some people may claim that they necessarilyconflict with each other, while others argue that the two are not mutuallye_clusive. Insofar as I can think, the best way is to coordinate them and e_erttheir own advantages for contemporary society.第一句改写题目,第二句比较两种立场,第三句提出自己的观点.这种开头比较简单易学,也是同学们比较常用的开头方式,需要注意的是在点明自己的观点的时候,最好把下文中要进行分层论证的关键词结合到句子里面,比如上述例子中的coordinate;e_ert their own advantages,可以起到引领下文,令文章结构严谨的作用.3. 引述题目背景再摆明立场E_plosive development of science and technology has been made during thepast one hundred years or so. When it comes to progress of the condition ofhumanity all over the world, there are always a host of different opinions heldby different individuals from different areas. Have, you may wonder, thetechnology developments or innovations contributed to promoting our humanity?Admittedly, most people would consider that there are still so many troubleswith us such as poverty, violence, conflicts and even wars. However, as a wholeeffect in general, technology progress has in fact, tend to lead to asignificant promotion of the overall condition of humanity in the world.第一步,先做背景引入,第二步提出自己的立场.这种开头方式的优点呢,是可以体现写作者的知识储备和语言水平,但是缺点是不如上述的两种方法简单易学,在做与题目相关的背景展开的时候容易落入俗套.所以,同学们在练习的时候需要选择适合自己的方法.GRE作文ISSUE结尾段高分模板介绍ISSUE的结尾段最大的作用就是起到结构完整的作用,加上答题时间有限,因此,结尾段不需要再花费额外的精力来提出新观点了,只需要对文章做一个结构上的总结就可以了.下面的2个结尾段的句式,同学们可以根据自己的喜好,将句子改写成自己的写作模板,切记对任何句子和范文不要原模原样照搬,防止发生雷同,造成成绩无效的严重后果.1. 总结观点和论述理由To sum up, given the reasons mentioned above, we may safely come to theconclusion that…. not only because…, but also because…, but it depends on...2. 呼应开头题目观点并强调自己观点In sum, I concede that….Nonetheless, to some e_tent…, the speaker s claimoverrates/underrates the importance o f sth…. In the final analysis, the optimalapproach, in my view, is a balanced one that ….GRE写作:具体分类1.只分了大类,可操作性差.比如_DF的分类,总共就只有8个,但是光写8篇作文又肯定是不够的.这就需要我们每一类下面还要根据写法和内容而具体分成各种小类,以达到一个小分类只写一篇的目的.笔者在手头资料的基础上,总结出涵盖了ISSUE全部题库的23个小类.在复习的时候,大家最少只要写20-23篇作文就可以完成ISSUE作文题库全覆盖的复习任务了,既放心又省力.2.分类中的题目描述过于啰嗦,不便于一眼看出题目的联系.市面上GRE的复习材料已经这么多,在复习的时候我们应该更多地做减法.比如作文这里,既然在网上就能很方便地找到翻译好的题库,又何苦在每个分类里把双语题目都打进去?但是只放题目,不放题号的话,又容易漏题出错,更不利于复习.笔者的解决方案,是在大类上体现出这一类的共性,题号后面则用中文简练地总结这一道题目的特性.3.分类不完整,或者题号有错误.这是最致命的错误.我最初在练习的时候,就随便选了一个题库,开始准备提纲.结果准备到一半,忽然发现分类题库里有很重要的几道高频没包括进来,又有几道题由于题号错误而分错了类.一怒之下,笔者对着ETS 官网上的作文题库编号一道一道地把手里的作文题号和题目对清楚.这绝对是市面上最完整的ISSUE作文分类,没有之一!分类开始:近期长期A.一举成名 OR 踏实努力?年轻人 51.71先做后想 61政府 _研究者 _9B.经济发展 VS 环境/文化艺术法律保护保护区 10._5._8濒危物种 31.63.67历史遗迹 _9教育大学教育:A. 应该政府出钱 _.25家长应该在学校多花时间 81.95B.多样性学生应该出国留学 82.97.100._3学生应该多选副科 _.46.70.1_._2._0教师应该出去工作V.S.只教学 73教师薪水应当与学生成绩挂钩 30.83编制课程:政府应当统一课程 6._.96._6应当按学生兴趣设置课程 40.47.90应当注重知识还是想象力? 54想象文学.1_知识经验.1_._6特殊教育: 天才是否应当设置特殊课程 37C.教育的目的解放思维 _.68GRE写作:满分经验决定考G本来就是一时冲动的结果,因为对于我来说要付出巨大的时间成本,并且接受短期内得不到任何实际的收益这一事实.然而,当我看到很多同学纷纷加入到考G行列中,自己也鼓足勇气参加了,就算是为了一个梦,为了自己的将来能有多一点的选择,能够为机会多做尝试.备考的过程我并没有经历太多的辛酸和劳苦,我很佩服一些学院的同学要在期末顶着论文.实验.期末考试等种.种压力复习备考,我的大量时间大概和大多数人一样花在了单词上.红宝书翻过几遍已经不记得了,也翻过barron slist(但事实证明效果并不好).至于说技巧或者经验,在这里我也只能谈一谈我对这个考试的一点感受,希望能给其他同学一点启发.作文:不要轻视argument能拿满分对于我来说很意外.关于字数,当时我的情况大概是:〝issue500+〞,〝argument600+〞也许大家都在奇怪为什么我argument能写的比issue多,其实我想告诉大家不要看轻argument,不要因为它容易就倾向性的少付出努力,不要忘记评分的时候两部分的权重是一样的.argument的模版大家应该见过很多,但在这里我想说的是既不要完全套用模版,因为这样会有雷同的危险,也不鼓励在文章结构上过分的创新,可以参考模版提供的结构.写作时不要让人感觉你是在〝码字儿〞,文章的思想和逻辑性永远是最重要的,也是拿高分的关键.所以在开头和结尾的评价总结性语句中,你要注意和你在正文中的分析是否匹配,所谓匹配不在于用几个专业定性的词汇,而是要在细节上完美对应.当然把握这一点并不容易,因为涉及到用词和表达能力,在这一点上就要看你个人的水平了,词不在于华丽,而是要准确并且前后一致,并且尽量减少重复.Issue也是一样,我一直觉得要〝意在笔先〞,作文最重要的是你要有话可说,这就是为什么在字数上争论没有意义了,你的观点立意一般,你又没有太多的话可说,字数自然上不去,随意的拼凑不见得能拿高分.关于issue还有一点要说,就是宁愿往深里写也不要扩大范围的泛泛而谈.我写的题目是关于英雄反映了一个社会的价值观的,整篇文章我只引用了MichaelJordan这一个例子,当然在选例子的时候也要有讲究.我看到很多人花很多时间和精力搜集素材,写文章的时候喜欢方方面面地进行列举,我不大赞同这样的做法,因为如果例子不是你熟悉的,引用起来也只能停留在浅层次,而没有深度.语文:多做新题目能拿到600分,完全靠的是我阅读的功底,还有一点运气,因为这次阅读相对简单.考试当天没能够跨区对我来说损失很大,很多题目就是一念之差.所以在这里要提醒大家珍惜做新题目的新鲜感,而不要把过多的时间花在反复看已经解决好了的老题目上.这次G6的类反比并不难,既没有偏词怪词,也没有考什么特别的逻辑关系,但是从题目到题支都很少有和过去题目重复的地方.这就是为什么要大家这样做的原因.GRE。

.GRE考试写作范文IssueMost people recognize the benefits of individuality, but the fact is that personal economic success requires conformity.Personal economic success might be due either to ones investment strategy or to ones work or career. With respect to the former, non-conformists with enough risk tolerance and patience invariably achieve more success than conformists. With respect to the latter, while non-conformists are more likely to succeed in newer industries where markets and technology are in constant flux, conformists are more likely to succeed in traditional service industries ensconced in systems and regulations.Regarding the sort of economic success that results from investing ones wealth, the principles of investing dictate that those who seek risky investments in areas that are out of favor with the majority of investors ultimately reap higher returns than those who follow the crowd. It is conformists who invest, along with most other investors, in areas that are currently the most profitable, and popular. However, popular investments tend to be overpriced, and in the long run their values willcome down to reasonable levels. As a result, given enough time conformists tend to reap lower rewards from their investments than nonconformists do.Turning to the sort of economic success that one achieves by way of ones work, neither conformists nor non-conformists necessarily achieve greater success than the other group.In consumer-driven industries, where innovation, product differentiation and creativity are crucial to lasting success, non-conformists who take unique approaches tend to recognize emerging trends and to rise above their peers. For example, Ted Turners departure from the traditional format of the other television networks, and the responsiveness of Amazons Jeff Bezos to burgeoning Internet commerce, propelled these two non-conformists into leadership positions in their industries. Particularly in technology industries, where there are no conventional practices or ways of thinking to begin with, people who cling to last years paradigm, or to the status quo in general, are soon left behind by coworkers and competing firms.However, in traditional service industries--such as finance, accounting, insurance, legal services, and health care--personal economic success comes not to non-conformists but rather to those who can work most effectively within the constraints of established practices, policies and regulations. Of course, a clever idea for structuring a deal, ora creative legal maneuver, might play a role in winning smaller battles along the way. But such tactics are those of conformists who are playing by the same ground rules as their peers; winners are just better at the game.In conclusion, non-conformists with sufficient risk tolerance and patience are invariably the most successful investors in the long run. When it comes to careers, however, while non-conformists tend to be more successful in technology-and consumer-driven industries, traditionalists are the winners in system-driven industries pervaded by policy, regulation, and bureaucracy.GRE考试写作范文IssueWhat society has thought to be its greatest social, political, and individual achievements have often resulted in the greatest discontent.I strongly agree that great achievements often lead to great discontent. In fact, I would assert more specifically that great individual achievements can cause discontent for the individual achiever or for the society impacted by the achievement, or both. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge that whether a great achievement causes great discontent can depend on ones personal perspective, as well as the perspective of time.With respect to individual achievements, great achievers are by nature ambitious people and therefore tend to be dissatisfied anddiscontent with their accomplishments-no matter how great. Great athletes are compelled to try to better their record-breaking performances; great artists and musicians typically claim that their greatest work will be their next one--a sign of personal discontent. And many child protégés, especially those who achieve some measure of fame early in life, later suffer psychological discontent for having peaked so early. Perhaps the paradigmatic modern example of a great achievers discontent was Einstein, whose theoretical breakthroughs in physics only raised new theoretical conundrums which Einstein himself recognized and spent the last twenty years of his life struggling unsuccessfully to solve.Individual achievements can often result in discontent on a societal level. The great achievement of the individual scientists responsible for the success of the Manhattan Project resulted in worldwide anxiety over the threat of nuclear annihilation--a form of discontent with which the worlds denizens will forever be forced to cope. Even individual achievements that at first glance would appear to have benefited society turn out to be causes of great discontent. Consider the invention of the automobile, along with the innovations in manufacturing processes and materials that made mass production possible. As a result we have become a society enslaved to our cars, relying on them as crutches not only for transportation but also for affording us a false sense ofsocioeconomic status. Moreover, the development of assembly-line manufacturing has served to alienate workers from their work, which many psychologists agree causes a great deal of personal discontent.Turning from individual achievements to societal, including political, achievements, the extent to which great achievements have caused great discontent often depends on ones perspective. Consider, for example, Americas spirit of Manifest Destiny during the 19th Century, or British Imperialism over the span of several centuries. From the perspective of an Imperialist, conquering other lands and peoples might be viewed as an unqualified success. However, from the viewpoint of the indigenous peoples who suffer at the hands of Imperialists, these so-called achievements are the source of widespread oppression and misery, and in turn discontent, to which any observant Native American or South African native could attest.The extent to which great socio-political achievements have caused great discontent also depends on the perspective of time. For example, F.D.R.s New Deal was and still is considered by many to be one of the greatest social achievements of the 20th Century. However, we are just now beginning to realize that the social-security system that was an integral part of F.D.R.s social program will soon result in great discontent among those workers currently paying into the system but unlikely to see any benefits after they retire.To sum up, I agree that great achievements, both individual and socio-political, often result in great discontent. Moreover, great individual achievements can result in discontent for both the individual achiever and the society impacted by the achievement. Nevertheless, in measuring the extent of discontent, we must account for varying personal and political perspectives as well as different time perspectives.GRE考试写作范文IssueThe well-being of a society is enhanced when many of its people question authority.The speaker asserts that when many people question authority society is better off. While I contend that certain forms of disobedience can be harmful to any society, I agree with the speaker otherwise. In fact, I would go further by contending that societys well-being depends on challenges to authority, and that when it comes to political and legal authority, these challenges must come from many people.Admittedly, when many people question authority some societal harm might result, even if a social cause is worthy. Mass resistance to authority can escalate to violent protest and rioting, during which innocent people are hurt and their property damaged and destroyed. The fallout from the 1992 Los Angeles riots aptly illustrates this point. The authority which the rioters sought to challenge was that of the legal justice system which acquitted police officers in the beating of RodneyKing. The means of challenging that authority amounted to flagrant disregard for criminal law on a mass scale--by way of looting, arson, and even deadly assault. This violent challenge to authority resulted in a financially crippled community and, more broadly, a turning back of the clock with respect to racial tensions across America.While violence is rarely justifiable as a means of questioning authority, peaceful challenges to political and legal authority, by many people, are not only justifiable but actually necessary when it comes to enhancing and even preserving societys well-being. In particular, progress in human rights depends on popular dissension. It is not enough for a charismatic visionary like Gandhi or King to call for change in the name of justice and humanity; they must have the support of many people in order to effect change. Similarly, in a democracy citizens must respect timeless legal doctrines and principles, yet at the same time question the fairness and relevance of current laws. Otherwise, our laws would not evolve to reflect changing societal values. It is not enough for a handful of legislators to challenge the legal status quo; ultimately it is up to the electorate at large to call for change when change is needed for the well-being of society.Questioning authority is also essential for advances in the sciences. Passive acceptance of prevailing principles quells innovation, invention, and discovery, all of which clearly benefit any society. In fact, the verynotion of scientific progress is predicated on rigorous scientific inquiry--in other words, questioning of authority. History is replete with scientific discoveries that posed challenges to political, religious, and scientific authority. For example, the theories of a sun-centered solar system, of humankinds evolution from other life forms, and of the relativity of time and space, clearly flew in the face of authoritative scientific as well as religious doctrine of their time. Moreover, when it comes to science a successful challenge to authority need not come from a large number of people. The key contributions of a few individuals---like Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, and Hawking---often suffice.Similarly, in the arts, people must challenge established styles and forms rather than imitate them; otherwise, no gemtinely new art would ever emerge, and society would be worse off. And again, it is not necessary that a large number of people pose such challenges; a few key individuals can have a profound impact. For instance, modern ballet owes much of what is new and exciting to George Ballanchine, who by way of his improvisational techniques posed a successful challenge to established traditions. And modern architecture arguably owes its existence to the founders of Germanys Bauhaus School of Architecture, which challenged certain authoritative notions about the proper objective, and resulting design, of public buildings.To sum up, in general I agree that when many people question authority the well-being of society is enhanced. Indeed, advances in government and law depend on challenges to the status quo by many people. Nevertheless, to ensure a net benefit rather than harm, the means of such challenges must be peaceful ones.GRE考试写作范文IssueIt is the artist, not the critic, who gives society something of lasting value.This statement asserts that art, not the art critic, provides something of lasting value to society. I strongly agree with the statement. Although the critic can help us understand and appreciate art, more often than not, critique is either counterproductive to achieving the objective of art or altogether irrelevant to that objective.To support the statement the speaker might point out the three ostensible functions of the art critic. First, critics can help us understand and interpret art; a critic who is familiar with a particular artist and his or her works might have certain insights about those works that the layperson would not. Secondly, a critics evaluation of an art work serves as a filter, which helps us determine which art is worth our time and attention. For example, a new novel by a best-selling author might nevertheless be an uninspired effort, and if the critic can call our attention to this fact we gain time to seek out more worthwhileliterature to read. Thirdly, a critic can provide feedback for artists; and constructive criticism, if taken to heart, can result in better work.However, reflecting on these three functions makes clear that the art critic actually offers very little to society.The first function is better accomplished by docents and teachers, who are more able to enhance a laypersons appreciation and understanding of art by providing an objective, educated interpretation of it. Besides, true appreciation of art occurs at the moment we encounter art; it is the emotional, even visceral impact that art has on our senses, spirits, and souls that is the real value of art. A critic can actually provide a disservice by distracting us from that experience.The critics second function that of evaluator who filters out bad art from the worthwhile is one that we must be very wary of. History supports this caution. In the role of judge, critics have failed us repeatedly. Consider, for example, Voltaires rejection of Shakespeare as barbaric because he did not conform to neo-classical principles of unity. Or, consider the complete dismissal of Beethovens music by the esteemed critics of his time. The art critics judgment is limited by the narrow confines of old and established parameters for evaluation. Moreover, critical judgment is often misguided by the ego; thus its value is questionable in any event.I turn finally to the critics third function: to provide useful feedbackto artists. The value of this function is especially suspect. Any artist, or anyone who has studied art, would agree that true art is the product of the artists authentic passion, a manifestation of the artists unique creative impulse, and a creation of the artists spirit. If art were shaped by the concern for integrating feedback from all criticism, it would become a viable craft, but at the same time would cease to be art.In sum, none of the ostensible functions of the critic are of much value at all, let alone of lasting value, to society. On the other hand, the artist, through works of art, provides an invaluable and unique mirror of the culture of the time during which the work was produced a mirror for the artists contemporaries and for future generations to gaze into for insight and appreciation of history. The art critic in a subordinate role, more often than not, does a disservice to society by obscuring this mirror.11。

GRE Issue Task范文5篇(中英双语)
GRE Issue Task范文5篇(中英双语)第一篇:Issue Task: Education and Critical Thinking | 教育与批判性思维英文版:Topic Statement:The best way to teach critical thinking is through formal education.Essay:The role of formal education in cultivating critical thinking skills is a topic of debate. While some argue that it is the best way to impart such skills, others believe that critical thinking can be nurtured through various means beyond the classroom.Proponents of formal education emphasize the structured environment it provides. In a classroom setting, students are exposed to diverse subjects, engage in intellectual discussions, and receive guidance from qualified educators. These experiences can undoubtedly enhance critical thinking abilities. Moreover, formal education often includes assignments and assessments that challenge students to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information, fostering essential thinking skills.On the other hand, critics contend that critical thinking is not confined to formal education alone. Everyday life offers countless opportunities for individuals to think critically. From solving real-worldproblems to making informed decisions, people continuously exercise their critical thinking skills outside the classroom. Furthermore, exposure to different cultures, hobbies, and experiences can also stimulate critical thinking. It is arguable that learning from a variety of life experiences can be just as effective, if not more so, than relying solely on formal education.In conclusion, the development of critical thinking is a multifaceted process. While formal education undeniably plays a significant role, it should not be considered the sole avenue for nurturing these skills. Critical thinking can thrive in both structured classroom environments and the richness of everyday life experiences. Therefore, a comprehensive approach that combines the best of both worlds is likely the most effective way to foster critical thinking skills.中文版:议题陈述:通过正式教育是教授批判性思维最好的方式。

To a certain extent, the Second World War stems from the Germen’s exorbitant respect to the history of their nation and the origin of their race.18.Mendel, who is hailed as the father of genetics, prompted the foundation of geneticsthrough his study of the inheritance of traits in pea plants. But the significance of Me ndel’s work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th.19.arts as an indirect way to convey subtle feelings and ideas of the artists can reflect thehidden thoughts or impulses of a society. After all, there are some times in human history in which not all kinds of ideas can be expressed publicly, and arts are usually chosen to be an effective form to deliver the thoughts as a result.20.After all, arts which are shaped in the influence of the spiritual and environmental factorsconvey audiences the specific ideas, senses, and motions expressing the feeling of artist toward their inside and outside world.21.For example, there is a time that the public cannot accept the homosexual relationship, sincethe behavior of gay is defined immoral in tradition. However, with the development of physiology and psychology in modernization, masses have come to accept gays or lesbians and respect them as straight.22.Van Gogh’s most famous still life, Sunflowers exhibits the eternal love to the life andpromotes the thoughts about life and death23.Beethoven’s famous symphony, symphony NO.5 “destiny”, delivers a spirit and eternaltheme about facing frustration and fights the destiny for one’s dream and hope, thus convulsing the whole world with this spirit and humanity.24.Hemingway's famous novel The Sun Also Rises written after WW2 give spirits to millions ofyoung people, known as the lost generation, to overcome the gloomy motion toward future and live new lives in most part of globe.25.After all, some social conventions or morality standards etc. in tradition which are outdatedor hinder the social development have been abandoned in modernization. With the understanding and learning the humanity and nature, issues that one used to take for granted may be thought to be immoral or unsuitable today.26.After all, modernization is actual an extension or a new iteration or amendment of tradition,which may be in various forms.27.Specifically, a critic, who is familiar with the western novels, can definitely provide thelayman useful information and in-depth interpretation with a considerable insight.28.After all, the process of evaluation is also the process that critics use their personal andprofessional taste which may be very different form the artists' to feel the motions or ideas underlying the arts. And under some circumstances, critics evaluate the value of the works from very different views with artists, which may lead to discover a new lasting value.29.After all, the critics’ view which may be limited by the established doctrine o r subconsciouspersonal preference may result in a destructive feedback or critique which may had a counterproductive effect on artist.30.the skeptical spirit, which played a crucial role for human beings in the process of acquiringtruth and new knowledge, is such a vital virtue that every student should possess. After all, as the inherit of human wisdom, in the way that first doubt and then test the matter that seems doubtful students can accept the truth which had being tested by generations more naturally. In addition, in some cases, it is very possible that the skeptical process also tends to be the course in which new thought or theory, namely new knowledge, can be founded.31.For instance, Lobachevsky, Russian mathematician, who developed non-Euclidean geometry,was usually called the Copernicus in geometry. At first, Lobachevsky tried to deduce the Euclid’s fifth postulation from other axioms but fruitless, which pushes him to question the truth of the fifth postulation. The spirit of skepticism leads him to develop a new geometry in which the fifth postulation is wrong instead of accepting it passively. And the new geometry is the Lobachevsky geometry.32.his example illustrates that the skeptical spirit, which has a decisive effect on sifting the truefrom the false and discovering the new from the unknown, is inevitably connected with knowledge inheritance of human, which pushes human toward the truth in turn.33.After all there does exist something, like convention, historical fact, word spelling andgrammar etc., is undoubted; in other word, those doubts which betray the original purpose of skepticism make no sense. So one problem should be made clear: why should we question?Personally I think we question because by questioning what can be doubted can we approach nearer and nearer the truth; meanwhile, question just for the question’s sake is not fit the spirit of skepticism. For example, the opinions, theories and axioms which are anthropogenic abstracted from nature or facts should be questioned, because thoughts and ideas of human beings are hard to be perfectly correct. On the other hand, fact and convention is undoubted. Since questioning those matters may lead to undermining the construction of human society and academy.34.After all, the culture of society, which was shaped by the inextricable relationship of historicaland modern thoughts, conventions, morality and values, plays a significant role in defining the attitudes and concerns of individuals. In other word, personal interests and attitudes reflect the ideas and values of society in some extent.35.we can know that openness and straightness might be an essential part of this society’s ideas.The example above illustrates that the act and dress of ordinary people that inevitably connect with environmental culture send the message with respect to the value of society to outward.36.it’s also necessarily through learning the art, history, religion and philosophy etc–representing the deep-seated supportive thought and culture of society- to learn the ideas and values of a society. After all, the development of history, the style of art and the way of thinking, which was formed from the accumulation of culture, still have a crucial effect on the shaping of today’s ideas and values of society.37.Admittedly, holding high standards of ethics and morality, which reminds official leaders tolive to the standards of fairness, justice and objectivity etc. rather than self-interests or party-profits consideration, are beneficial for officials to be effective chiefs. After all, fairness and objectivity -making one willing to hear different voices-playing a definitive role in making unbiased and fair decisions, which helps the leader to be effective. Obviously, it's easier for the public to accept and follow an objective policy than one full of bias and self-interests. 38.Here is an apt example involving President Lincoln, a politician who holds high standards ofethics and morality. He believes the creed, which sums up the dream and spirit of American fathers, that everyone should be equal all his life, even when he faced great pressure. His high moral and ethical standards help him win the support of his people, and ultimately win (注意时态)the civil war which ended slavery and hold American together in 1865. Martin Luther King is another living example. In 1960s’, king delivered his famous “I have a dream”lecture, and more than 200,000 people were inspired by his high standards of morality. As a result, the civil rights move eventually end with the pass of civil rights act in congress.39.After all, an effective leader should foresee the trend of future, make proper decisions andhave the charisma to call up public. Moreover, any leader should be responsible for the party, the country or the organization etc. He/she belongs to. That’s to say, no leader can ignore the interests of his/her group. President Reagan is a typical example. During 8 years of his president, series of scandals pesters him and the famous one is Iran gate. However, the inflation rate declined from 12.5% to 4.4% and unemployment rate down form7.5% to 5.0% under his economic policy. And he also won the “the great communicator” honor. All those feats prove him an effective leader. After he passed away, the government gave him state funeral.40.drop the reins of government whatever the leader brings about for us before41.The echo among the public during the period of Watergate affair can underscore this point.Even though Nixon, the former U.S. president, has made great contribution to boost the development of America, he had to leave his career of administration for the immoral things he has done.42.A supportive example for this is The Industry revolution. In about 1750, beginning withpower-driven machines starting doing work that people had always done by hand in England, The Industrial Revolution forever changed the way people used to live and work in most parts of the globe. It’s not the famous few, but rather groups of people, who are the carrier of productive power, lead to this revolution.43.Groups of people are too large and too complicated composed to startup by its own. Only bythe help of outstanding few who have the ability to motivate masses, significant trends or events can become possible.44.History in academic study is either the study of the past or the product of our attempts tounderstand the past, rather than the past itself.45.After all, the lives of exceptional people are connected with some event of their time and it ismuch easier to derive a general sight to understand human history form a few people rather than masses with various details46.After all, practicality and pragmatism, which inevitably connect with profit or interest, is theoverriding concern of most none-purely-academic endeavor. It seems clearly that practical principle turns out to be the litmus test for education of most engineering majors,whichaims more at supplying suitable human resource for companies and other profitable business today.47.For example, electrical engineering is depends less on theoretical research than practicalexperience, since there are much more unpredictable and uncontrollable factors in practice.48.After all, most study of theory -researched in ideal condition which does not exist in actuallife- is abstract.49.And putting matters outside of academic world, most of which tend to be more substantial,into ideal theory does harm to the imagination and innovation of students in these fields. 50.For example, if university provides every student the condition to do relevant experimentsimmediately after they learn new theory or makes it available for students to read and discuss some more works others have done, its instructional quality will be granted obviously.51.For example, with the development of the technologies of internet, students etc. can chooseto receive education from the net instead of the traditional way in the classroom, hence changes the conventional relationship between the students and teachers, namely making them more remote than ever; technologies of transportation help to change the custom that migration is rarely chosen unless disasters like war occur in most cases in the past, which influences the traditional motion of humanity to motherland.52.M. C. Escher, a great Dutch graphic artist who excelled at drawing but got poor grades inschool, exerts a profound influence on graphic arts. Escher never got normal mathematic training after he leave secondary school, but his graphic works are adorable to the mathematicians.53.Pol lution not only affects human beings’ lives but also destroy the environment in whichmany other specials live. Chemical leak kill several people, pose health risks and contribute to acid rain and global warming.54.It seems a paradox that our efficiencies are much higher than ever before while our leisure time isincreasingly diminishing, but it is actually the reality. The greater our mobility, the more our destinations each day; the more time-saving facilities we use, the more activities we try to attend ea ch day; with more convenient access to information, we try to assimilate more of it each day. Nowaday s we are forced to do more by the superiors, the competitors, or even by ourselves. Fortunately, we have more opportunities and choices than our predecessors, but at the same time, unfortunately, we have to confront with much more challenges and suffer from much more pressure. Therefore, people may be not able to enjoy their leisure time much in such an increasingly competitive society, consequently resulting in some serious social problems, such as unemployment, resentment, high suicide rate, anti-social behaviors, and so forth.。

GRE issue写作范文:冒险与计划题目:Success in any realm of life comes more often from taking chances or risks thanfrom careful and cautious planning.在生活的所有领域中,成功往往更多的来自于把握机会或者冒险而不是通过仔细谨慎的计划。
正文:The speaker asserts people are more likely to attain success when taking chancesor risks than planning carefully and cautiously. However, after comparing the characteristics of careful planning and taking chances, I strongly hold that they areof the same importance in the pursuit of success.In competitive sports, while making appropriate training plans and effective competition strategies constitute necessary conditions of winning the matches,taking risks is almost inevitable when athletes or their coaches confront a sudden matter that might influence the course of a match and that has not been taken into consideration beforehand. In modern competitive sports, it is widely acknowledged that scientific and effective training contributes to athletes’ better performanceduring matches. Good competition strategies, on the other hand, resulting in the better allocation of physical force, better use of skills or the higher rate in scoring, also play a vital role.However, when the star players of a soccer team or a basketball team are off the game or fail to implement their chief coach's strategic intention, leaving the whole team in adverseness, the coach faces the choice whether to substitute he/she or not. No doubt substituting a star player with a bench player means taking risk becausethe bench player may not perform as good as the star player and may make matters worse. If this happens, the substitution will incur discontentment of the players and critique from the team's fans, media and the boss. The capability of the coach may then be suspected and he/she may even be fired. Nevertheless, if the coach daresnot to take the risk to substitute a poorly performed star player, his/her team will probably lose the game. Taking chances and risks is reasonable when one is dealing with something that has not been taken into consideration previously. So, in competitive sports, planning and risking are both necessary.In academic fields, careful and cautious planning is required for large projects and application disciplines while revolutionary scientific breakthroughs are almost impossible without taking chances or risks. Before starting the research project on human genome, scientists had already made plans on the content and method of the research. They did not have to take any chances or risks because all they should do have already been carefully planned. There were no technical obstacles that had not been solved. Therefore, they just followed the plan step by step and accomplished the project in the end. As for significant scientific breakthroughs, they are the important discoveries and theories that disaccord, at least to some extent, with established principles or our intuitions, such as the Theory of Relativity and quantum mechanics. One has no choice but to take chances because established theories may not be applicable on the boundary of what is known and what is unknown. Only after being examined through experiments, practices and observations, can they be confirmed or belied. In a word, planning and taking chances or risks are different means for different levels of academic researches.In the business world, cautious planning contributes to the long-term development of a company and at the same time, risking is imperative for a company to survive, develop and thrive in the highly competitive society. Planning carefully on inquiring market, training stuff and manufacturing products ensure a company's long-term development by keeping its profit increasing or at least not declining. On the other hand, taking risks, such as incorporating with another company, involving in the market fields that have already been occupied by other enterprises or involving in the market fields that are not considered so profitable, is also necessary because these may save the company from the adversity or help to set foot in new businesses. Clearly,in the business field, planning and risking complement each other.To conclude, success in any realm of life comes equally from taking chances or risks and from careful and cautious planning. In most cases, they complement each other and pave the way towards success.GRE Issue写作优秀实例:达到目标的手段题目:If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it are justifiable.只要值得,不择手段达到目的是合理的。

新GREIssue 官方范文整理1Issue test 3The best ideas arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things.Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement above and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how those considerations shape your position.The following sample issue response received a score of 6: Passion is clearly necessary for a truly great idea to take hold among a people—passion either on the part of the original thinker, the audience, or ideally both. The claim that the most lucrative subject matter for inspiring great ideas is “commonplace things”may seem initially to be counterintuitive. After all, aren’t great ideas usually marked by their extraordinary character? While this is true, their extraordinary character is as often as not directly derivedfrom their insight into things that had theretofore gone unquestioned. While great ideas certainly can arise through seemingly pure innovation... say, for example, Big Bang cosmology, which developed nearly all of its own scientific and philosophical precepts through its own process of formation, it is nevertheless equally true that such groundbreaking thought was, and is, still largely a reevaluation of previous assumptions to a radical degree... after all, the question of the ultimate nature of the universe, and man’s place in it, has been central to human thought since the dawn of time. Commonplace things are, additionally, necessary as material for the generation of “the best ideas” since certainly the success among an audience must be considered in evaluating the significance and quality of an idea.The advent of Big Bang cosmology, which occured in rudimentary form almost immediately upon Edwin Hubble’s first observations at the Hooker telescope in California during the early 20th century, was the most significant advance in mankind’s understanding of the universe in over 400 years. The seemingly simple fact that everything in the universe, on the very large scale, is moving away from everything else in fact betrays nearly all of our scientific knowledge of the origins andmechanics of the universe. This slight, one might even say commonplace, distortion of tint on a handful of photographic plates carried with it the greatest challenge to Man’s general, often religiously reinforced, conception of the nature of the world to an extent not seen since the days of Galileo. Not even Charles Darwin’s theory, though it created more of a stir than Big Bang cosmology, had such shattering implications for our conceptions of the nature of our reality. Yet it is not significant because it introduced the question of the nature of what lies beyond Man’s grasp. A tremendous number of megalithic ruins, including the Pyramids both of Mexico and Egypt, Stonehenge, and others, indicate that this question has been foremost on humankind’s collective mind since time immemorial. Big Bang cosmology is so incredibly significant in this line of reasoning exactly because of the degree to which it changed the direction of this generally held, constantly pondered, and very ancient train of thought.Additionally, there is a diachronic significance to the advent of Big Bang cosmology, which is that, disregarding limitations such as the quality of optical devices available and the state of theoretical math, it could have happened at any point in time. That is to say, all evidence points to roughlythe same raw intellectual capacity for homo sapiens throughout our history, our progress has merely depended upon the degree of it that a person happens to inherit, a pace that has been increasing rapidly since the industrial revolution. Yet this discovery had to happen at a certain point in time or another —it cannot have been happening constantly or have never happened yet still be present—and this point in time does have its own significance. That significance is precisely the fact that the aforementioned advent must have occurred at precisely the point in time at which it truly could have occured—that is to say, it marks the point in our history when we had progressed sufficiently to begin examining, with remarkable substantiated acuity, the workings of the universe across distances that would take millions of human lifetimes to reach or to traverse. The point for the success of this advent must necessarily have been, additionally, the point at which the audience concerned was capable and prepared to accept such a radical line of reasoning.Both factors, a radical, passionate interpretation of the commonplace and the preparedness to accept such an interpretation, are necessary for the formulation of a truly great idea. If the passion is absent from an inquiry by thethinker or by the bulk of an audience, the idea will die out if it comes to fruition at all. If the material is not sufficiently commonplace to be considered by an informed audience of sufficient size, the same two hazards exist. Given these two factors, the idea must still be found palatable and interesting by the audience if it is to hope to gain a foothold and eventually establish itself in a significant fashion.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 6:This outstanding response presents a cogent, well-articulated analysis of the complexities of the issue by arguing that (1) great ideas develop from commonplace observations that are interpreted in a radical way; and (2) passion is required of both thinkers and the audience in order for great ideas to take hold.The argument is based on an extended example (Big Bang cosmology) and has two parts. The first part defines “commonplace things” as universal questions (i.e., the quest to understand the cosmos is commonplace, though complex, because it is an ancient and universal question) and places Big Bang cosmology in context with the scientific breakthroughs of Galileo and the Pyramids of ancient Mexico and Egypt.The second part explains Big Bang as the result of aconvergence of factors: both thinkers and the audience must be ready to reevaluate “previous assumptions”and accept “radical, passionate interpretations.”The argument’s careful line of reasoning is strengthened by appropriate transitions between paragraphs (“Additionally,”“Both factors, a radical, passionate interpretation of the commonplace and the preparedness to accept such an interpretation, are necessary for the formulation of a truly great idea,” etc.) and within paragraphs (“Not even Charles Darwin’s,”“Yet,”“that is to say,” etc.). Fluent and precise language—advent, rudimentary, diachronic, shattering implications, megalithic ruins—and effective sentence variety also characterize this response as outstanding. Finally, despite the presence of minor errors (overuse of comma and inconsistent use of ellipses in paragraph 1), this response demonstrates facility with the conventions of standard written English.新GREIssue 官方范文整理2The following sample issue response received a score of 5: The statement above comes from the perspective that the best thinkers, inventors, and innovators are the way that they are because they explore passionately the interesting thingsaround them. Yes, I would say that this is definitely true.I understand best the things that interest me, but it is only the things with which I am familiar with and understand in my surroundings. It would be difficult to take passionate interest in the things which I did not have available in my environment.For example, let’s consider some “idea” people in history. The person who invented the basketball hoop, or the game of volleyball, or ice skates, all had interest in those things before they had their brilliant ideas. I do know that the inventor of the basketball hoop used to coach a basketball team of young boys, and they would throw the ball into a fruit basket that was nailed to the wall. Obviously, a basket has a bottom to it, and they would have to fish it out after every successful throw. So he had the brilliant idea of cutting out the bottom of the basket. It seems so simple to us now, but nobody had ever played basketball like that in his day.The phrase, “commonplace things” can be rather misleading, I believe. I think every person has slightly different “commonplace things” in their environment depending on their interests, their financial status, and availability of items. What is commonplace for one person may never be known by another.I take passionate interest in things having to do with sewingusing patterns, fabrics and threads. However, my mother and grandmother are excellent seamstresses and I had the availability of learning from them. It was a “commonplace thing”for me. I have had some wonderful ideas come out of my passion for this kind of art.Orville and Wilbur Wright had a passionate interest in things having to do with flight, a rather ordinary thing for the sorts of birds who can fly with their wings, but certainly not people. If I had lived during the Wright brothers’ time, I would probably not have had the same passionate interest in figuring out how to make humans fly, because it is not something that I would have thought possible. But their dreams and visionary possibilities were much bigger than mine would have been at that time. They not only had a passionate interest but they were willing to experiment, to risk financial ruin and ridicule, and even put their lives on the line. So while it is true that the best ideas arise from a passionate interest in commplace things, there also has to be an element of daring to challenge “norms” and not being able to just accept things as they are. There has to be a desire to make things better and to improve on the present.There also has to be the element of not being afraid offailure. Most ideas do inevitably fail. Einstein is viewed today as being one of the most brilliant thinkers and “idea”people in all of history. But nobody really talks about how many times his ideas failed. The number is quite amazing. Many people are afraid of failure, so even though they make take a passionate interest in something commonplace, and have some great ideas, they may never carry them through because of uncertainty that they would work. We must be willing to try!So, yes, it is true that the best ideas arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things, because these are the things that we know, these are the things that we understand, and the things that we want to explore in even more depths. But there must be more elements involved than just taking interest in something. We must be willing to face risks of many kinds in order to separate the ideas that fail from the ones that will triumphantly succeed.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 5:This strong response presents a well- considered analysis of the complexities of the issue by arguing that great ideas come, not only from a passionate interest in the commonplace, but also from great imagination and a willingness to succeed.The logic of the response unfolds very smoothly: paragraph3 explores the term “commonplace” and offers support for the prompt’s position; paragraphs4 and5 discuss the related issues of imagination, willingness to experiment, and overcoming failure. The examples are well chosen and generally well developed.Paragraph 2 offers a relevant, though predictable, sports example (invention of basketball hoop) to examine how commonplace things/familiarity can spark great ideas. A personal example is used in paragraph 3 to further explore the definition of “commonplace” and illustrate how the term is relative to financial status and availability (though only the concept of availability is developed in this example). Paragraph 2 logically extends into paragraph 3, and the same connection is seen between paragraphs 4 and 5.In paragraph 4 the Wright brothers are used to argue that great ideas also come from imagination and a willingness to experiment. The final example, in which Einstein is offered to illustrate the necessity of overcoming failure, is not as fully developed as the others. The respondent does not explain what failures Einstein endured or how he overcame them, which makes the example less compelling. Overall, the analysis demonstrated in the examples is “perceptive and clear,” butnot “insightful and cogent” as required for a score of 6. While the response expresses ideas clearly, using appropriate vocabulary and sentence variety, it does not use language as fluently and precisely as would a typical 6. Occasional wordiness/ awkwardness could be avoided with more precise diction (e.g., “There also has to be the element of not being afraid of failure,” or “I have had some wonderful ideas come out of my passion for this kind of art”).新GREIssue 官方范文整理3The following sample issue response received a score of 4: In agreement with the statement, many great inventions have come from individuals interested in commonplace things. Out of simplicity arises great ideas, and I would consider commonplace things to be simplistic. However, it is hard to say that the “best”ideas arise from passion in commonplace things, because one could argue that the best ideas involve interest in remarkable things, which is what makes them the “best” ideas.If the statement is viewed from the standpoint of all ideas from the beginning of civilization, then the statement holds true. Examples of commonplace things are food and shelter. If a person had an abundance of food and needed to transport it, they may have the idea to weave a basket or make some sort oftote in order to load more at once. With that idea, eventually the people would think of things to make the first idea more useful, such as adding wheels to your carrying device. With shelter, first people (Cro-Magnon)may have kept out of weather and unsafe territory by using caves as shelter. From passionate interest in the common shelter a person may have come up with brilliant ideas about structures, architecture, and construction.In concern with the opposing view that the best ideas arise from remarkable things, one could argue that best ideas are medical breakthroughs and all other aspects of Science. Working with substances and molecules and creating ions and isotopes is not a commonplace thing. However, it is what the people who make the scientific breakthroughs have passionate interest in expanding.Looking at the big picture, I would say that if people did not have “passionate interest in commonplace things”, then the idea that led us to the remarkable things would have never occurred. If that is true then the statement holds true because the best ideas do arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things. Though some older ideas may seem obsolete now, there was a time that without those ideas, we would stillbe in the dark ages.Overall, I agree with the statement. The best ideas do arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things. Though I do not consider medical breakthroughs coming from interest in commonplace things, our species appears to be reaching the point in which cancer and AIDS could be considered a commonplace thing. If that is true, then when someone finds a cure for cancer or AIDS it will be one of the best ideas arising from a passionate interest in a commonplace thing. Once again reinforcing the truth of the statement.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 4:This response presents a competent analysis and conveys meaning adequately.Paragraph 2 offers appropriate and adequately developed examples from “the beginning of civilization” to illustrate how commonplace needs inspire innovation: the need to transport food led to the invention of woven baskets and, eventually, the invention of the wheel; similarly, the need for shelter that drove “Cro-Magnon”to the caves eventually inspired “brilliant ideas about structures, architecture, and construction.”Paragraph 3, which explores the “opposing view” (the bestideas arise from remarkable things), is less developed. The respondent claims that the best ideas are “medical breakthroughs and all other aspects of Science,”without explaining what is meant by “Science” or why these types of ideas are the “best.” Does “Science” include engineering, computer sciences, and the social sciences? Why are advances in science and medicine better than advances in religion the arts, or philosophy? The response also fails to acknowledge the commonplace interests (e.g., desire to improve quality of life) that drive medical/scientific research. While the response addresses two sides of the issue, it never delves into complexity the way a 5 or 6 would.In paragraph 4, the response comes to a new conclusion: without initial interest in commonplace things, interest in remarkable things would be impossible. This is an interesting position that, if developed and supported with well-chosen examples, could lead to complex analysis. However, the conclusion is merely stated, loosely supported with generalities, and then further confounded by shaky logic in paragraph 5.Ideas are expressed with reasonable clarity and the response generally demonstrates control of language. It is lackof complexity and logical development that keep this response from earning a higher score.新GREIssue 官方范文整理4The following sample issue response received a score of 3: How do new knowledge came into being? Sometimes it stemed from exsiting knowledge. Sometimes it was born all out of sudden. Both ways seem work well. As I see through this question, I believe that what plays a key role in creating new ideas is a passionate interest.Throughout history, a myriad of examples help prove the importance of interest. Edison, the greatest inventors in the world, possessed a sharp interest ever since his childhood. In his eyes, every common things were full of mysteries. It was his unique interest which helped him look into the machanism of things around therefore new iders came into his mind and, changed into conceret machines facilitating our lives. Another famous example is that of Newton. A riped apple from a tree fell onto his head one afternoon. For ordinary people, this kind of trivial instance would slip off their mind at once. However, Newton lost hisself in thought of the relation between objects. Finally he found gravitation and opened up a new era of physics.On the other hand, without interest, the opportunity ofgreat discoveries will pass by. Most people are experiencing ordinary lives everyday. Why don’t they come up with great ideas? Because interest is a state of skeptism, a state in which we do not stop to disclose the truth beneath a surface of commonplaces. Interest means the ability to explore the internal corelations. Therefore, with a passiontae interest, those commonplace things are no longer commonplace, and new ideas are created.From what have been discussed above, we can see that interest serves as force to propell the exploration of unknowns, to perfect the structure of human knowledge, and to move towards the ultimate truth.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 3:This limited response demonstrates some competence in its analysis and in conveying meaning but is obviously flawed.The response agrees with the prompt by arguing that a passionate interest allows people to see beyond the commonplace and create new ideas (paragraphs 1 and 3). However, the response is limited in presenting and developing this position.In paragraph 2 the response offers two relevant but underdeveloped examples to illustrate the importance of interest in generating ideas.The Edison example is not persuasive because its development is limited to generalities (“common things were full of mysteries...which helped him look into the machanism of things...therefore new iders came into his mind and, changed into conceret machines”). The response does not provide specific examples of the common “things” that interested Edison nor does it discuss any of Edison’s particular ideas. Thus, it does little to advance the response’s position. The Newton example is not penalized for historical inaccuracy. However, like the previous example, it is overly general and underdeveloped.The response also contains an accumulation of language errors (in usage, word choice, and sentence structure) that often result in a lack of clarity. For instance, the rhetorical device used in paragraph 1 contains frequent errors that render it ineffective. The imprecise language use in the Newton example is particularly unsettling: “Newton lost hisself in thought of the relation between objects. Finally he found gravitation and opened up a new era of physics.” While these errors do not generally interfere with meaning, they constitute a lack of language control that precludes a score of 4.新GREIssue 官方范文整理5The following sample issue response received a score of 2: The above statement reinforces my values and beliefs. I agree that the best ideas arises from a paasionate interest.I agree simply because a person must be able to personally relate to a thing in order to become passionate to the idea. The person behind the best ideas are passionate because the commonplace things have affected the person on a personally level or on a mutual level. The relationship between the commonplace thing and the best idea unites a passionate interest to the person who it has affected. A person must have a desire to build on their passion in order to follow through on his or her idea.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 2:This response presents a seriously flawed analysis of the issue.The response agrees with the prompt by arguing that a person must be able to relate to something in order to develop passion for it. (The connection between things one can “relate to”and “commonplace things” is implied.) The response also states that passion is necessary in order for a person to follow through on an idea. However, neither of these claims is supported with relevant reasons or examples.Furthermore, flawed word choice and other language control problems make the reasoning hard to follow (particularly in sentences 4 and 5: “The person behind the best ideas are passionate because the commonplace things have affected the person on a personally level or on a mutual level. The relationship between the commonplace thing and the best idea unites a passionate interest to the person who it has affected.”In those sentences the respondent attempts to analyze the relationship between commonplace things, passion, and ideas). Nevertheless, this response is not a 1: the respondent does provide evidence of the ability to understand the issue and attempts to present a position on it.The following sample issue response received a score of 1: This topic can be found to be true in many different areas. The best ideas that people have come up with are usually founded be improving commonplace things. For example in order to improve the effiecency of writing the typewriter was invented, then following that the computer was invented.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 1:This response presents a fundamentally deficient discussion of the issue.The first sentence consists of generic language that canbe applied to any prompt. Thus, it neither enhances nor detracts from the analysis. The remainder of the response consists of a statement in support of the prompt and a list of two examples (the typewriter and the computer). The examples offered are potentially relevant but completely undeveloped. Basic errors in usage and grammar are pervasive, but it is primarily the inability to develop an organized response that makes this response a 1.新GREIssue官方范文。

GRE考试写作范文IssuePeople who are the most deeply committed to an idea or policy are the most critical of it.The speaker claims that people who are the most firmly committed to an idea or policy are the same people who are most critical of that idea or policy. While I find this claim paradoxical on its face, the paradox is explainable, and the explanation is well supported empirically. Nevertheless, the claim is an unfair generalization in that it fails to account for other empirical evidence serving to discredit it.A threshold problem with the speakers claim is that its internal logic is questionable. At first impression it would seem that firm commitment to an idea or policy necessarily requires the utmost confidence in it, and yet one cannot have a great deal of confidence in an idea or policy if one recognizes its flaws, drawbacks, or other problems. Thus commitment and criticism would seem to be mutually exclusive. But are they? One possible explanation for the paradox is that individuals most firmly committed to an idea or policy are often the same people who are most knowledgeable on the subject, and therefore are in the best position to understand and appreciate the problems with the idea or policy.Lending credence to this explanation for the paradoxical nature of the speakers claim are the many historical cases of uneasy marriages between commitment to and criticism of the same idea or policy. For example, Edward Teller, the so-called father of the atom bomb, was firmly committed to Americas policy of gaining military superiority overthe Japanese and the Germans; yet at the same time he attempted fervently to dissuade the U.S. military from employing his technology for destruction, while becoming the most visible advocate for various peaceful and productive applications of atomic energy. Another example is George Washington, who was quoted as saying that all the worlds denizens should abhor war wherever they may find it. Yet this was the same military general who played a key role in the Revolutionary War between Britain and the States. A third example was Einstein, who while committed to the mathematical soundness of his theories about relativity could not reconcile them with the equally compelling quantum theory which emerged later in Einsteins life. In fact, Einstein spent the last twenty years of his life criticizing his own theories and struggling to determine how to reconcile them with newer theories.In the face of historical examples supporting the speakers claim are innumerable influential individuals who were zealously committed to certain ideas and policies but who were not critical of them, at least not outwardly. Could anyone honestly claim, for instance, that Elizabeth Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, who in the late 19th Century paved the way for the womens rights movement by way of their fervent advocacy, were at the same time highly critical or suspicious of the notion that women deserve equal rights under the law? Also, would it not be absurd to claim that Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, historys two leading advocates of civil disobedience as a means to social reform, had serious doubts about the ideals to which they were so demonstrably committed? Finally, consider the two ideologues and revolutionaries Lenin and Mussolini. Is it even plausible that their demonstrated commitment to their own Communist and Fascist policies, respectively, belied some deep personal suspicion about the merits of these policies? To my knowledge no private writing of any of these historical figures lends any support to the claim that these leaders were particularly critical of their own ideas or policies.To sum up, while at first glance a deep commitment to and incisivecriticism of the same idea or policy would seem mutually exclusive, it appears they are not. Thus the speakers claim has some merit. Nevertheless, for every historical case supporting the speakers claim are many others serving to refute it. In the final analysis, then, the correctness of the speakers assertion must be determined on a case-by-case basis.GRE考试写作范文IssueTradition and modernization are incompatible. One must choose between them.Must we choose between tradition and modernization, as the speaker contends? I agree that in certain cases the two are mutually exclusive. For the most part, however, modernization does not reject tradition; in fact, in many cases the former can and does embrace the latter.In the first place, oftentimes so-called modernization is actually an extension or new iteration of tradition, or a variation on it. This is especially true in language and in law. The modern English language, in spite of its many words that are unique to modern Western culture, is derived from, and builds upon, a variety of linguistic traditions--and ultimately from the ancient Greek and Latin languages. Were we to insist on rejecting traditional in favor of purely modern language, we would have essentially nothing to say. Perhaps an even more striking marriage of modernization and tradition is our system of laws in the U.S., which is deeply rooted in English common-law principles of equity and justice. Our system requires that new, so-called modern laws be consistent with, and in fact build upon, those principles.In other areas modernization departs from tradition in some respects, while embracing it in others. In the visual arts, for example, modern designs, forms, and elements are based on certain timeless aesthetic ideals--such as symmetry, balance, and harmony. Modern art that violates these principles might hold ephemeral appeal due to its novelty andbrashness, but its appeal lacks staying power. An even better example from the arts is modern rock-and-roll music, which upon first listening might seem to bear no resemblance to classical music traditions. Yet, both genres rely on the same twelve-note scale, the same notions of what harmonies are pleasing to the ear, the same forms, the same rhythmic meters, and even many of the same melodies.I concede that, in certain instances, tradition must yield entirely to the utilitarian needs of modern life. This is true especially when it comes to architectural traditions and the value of historic and archeological artifacts. A building of great historic value might be located in the only place available to a hospital desperately needing additional parking area. An old school that is a prime example of a certain architectural style might be so structurally unsafe that the only practicable way to remedy the problem would be to raze the building to make way for a modern, structurally sound one. And when it comes to bridges whose structural integrity is paramount to public safety, modernization often requires no less than replacement of the bridge altogether. However, in other such cases architecturally appropriate retrofits can solve structural problems without sacrificing history and tradition, and alternative locations for new buildings and bridges can be found in order to preserve tradition associated with our historic structures. Thus, even in architecture, tradition and modernization are not necessarily mutually exclusive options.To sum up, in no area of human endeavor need modernization supplant, reject, or otherwise exclude tradition. In fact, in our modern structures, architecture andGRE考试写作范文IssueBecause of television and worldwide computer connections, people can now become familiar with a great many places that they have never visited. As a result, tourism will soon become obsolete.The speaker asserts that television and computer connectivity will soon render tourism obsolete. I agree that these technologies might eventually serve to reduce travel for certain purposes other than tourism. However, I strongly disagree that tourism will become obsolete, or that it will even decline, as a result.As for the claim that television will render tourism obsolete, we already have sufficient empirical evidence that this will simply not happen. For nearly a half-century we have been peering through our television sets at other countries and cultures; yet tourism is as popular today as ever. In fact, tourism has been increasing sharply during the last decade, which has seen the advent of television channels catering exclusively to our interest in other cultures and countries. The more reasonable conclusion is that television has actually served to spark our interest in visiting other places.It is somewhat more tempting to accept the speakers further claim that computer connectivity will render tourism obsolete. However, the speaker unfairly assumes that the purpose of tourism is simply to obtain information about other people and places. Were this the case, I would entirely agree that the current information explosion spells the demise of tourism. But, tourism is not primarily about gathering information. Instead, it is about sensory experience--seeing and heating firsthand, even touching and smelling. Could anyone honestly claim that seeing a picture or even an enhanced 3-D movie of the Swiss Alps serves as a suitable substitute for riding a touting motorcycle along narrow roads traversing those mountains? Surely not. The physical world is laden with a host of such delights that we humans are compelled to experience firsthand as tourists.Moreover, in my view tourism will continue to thrive for the same reason that people still go out for dinner or to the movies: we all need to get away from our familiar routines and surroundings from time to 6me.Will computer connectivity alter this basic need? Certainly not. In short, tourism is a manifestation of a basic human need for variety and for exploration. This basic need is why humans have come to inhabit every corner of the Earth, and will just as surely inhabit other planets of the solar system.In fact, computer connectivity might actually provide a boon for tourism. The costs of travel and accommodations are likely to decrease due to Internet price competition. Even more significantly, to the extent that the Internet enhances communication among the worlds denizens, our level of comfort and trust when it comes to dealing with people from other cultures will only increase. As a result, many people who previously would not have felt safe or secure traveling to strange lands will soon venture abroad with a new sense of confidence.Admittedly, travel for purposes other than tourism might eventually decline, as the business world becomes increasingly dependent on the Internet. Products that can be reduced to digital bits and bites can now be shipped anywhere in the world without any human travel. And the volume of business-related trips will surely decline in the future, as teleconferencing becomes more readily available. To the extent that business travelers play tourist during business trips, tourism will decline as a result. Yet it would be absurd to claim that these phenomena alone will render tourism obsolete.In sum, while business travel might decline as a result of global connectivity, tourism is likely to increase as a result. Global connectivity, especially the Internet, can only pique our curiosity about other peoples, cultures, and places. Tourism helps satisfy that curiosity, as well as satisfying a fundamental human need to experience new things first-hand and to explore the world.GRE考试写作范文IssueHigh-speed electronic communications media, such as electronic mail and television, tend to prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication.Do high-speed means of communication, particularly television and computers, tend to prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication, as the speaker suggests? Although ample empirical evidence suggests so with respect to television, the answer is far less dear when it comes to communication via computers.Few would argue that since its inception broadcast television has greatly enhanced communication to the masses. The circulation of even the most widely read newspapers pales compared to the number of viewers of popular television news programs. Yet traditional television is a one-way communications medium, affording viewers no opportunity to engage those so-called talking heads in dialogue or respond. Of course, there is nothing inherent about television that prevents us from meaningful and thoughtful communication with each other. In fact, in televisions early days it was a fairly common occurrence for a family to gather around the television together for their favorite show, then afterwards discuss among themselves what they had seen and heard. Yet over time television has proven itself to serve primarily as a baby-sitter for busy parents, and as an means of escape for those who wish to avoid communicating with the people around them. Moreover, in the pursuit of profit, network executives have determined over time that the most effective uses of the medium are for fast-paced entertainment and advertising--whose messages are neither thoughtful nor meaningful.Do computers offer greater promise for thoughtful and reflective communication than television? Emphatically, yes. After all, media such as email and the Web are interactive by design. And the opportunity for two-way communication enhances the chances of meaningful and thoughtful communication. Yet their potential begs the question: Do these media in fact serve those ends? It is tempting to hasten that the answer isyes with respect to email; after are, weve all heard stories about how email has facilitated reunions of families and old friends, and newlong-distance friendships and romances. Moreover, it would seem that two-way written communication requires far more thought and reflection than verbal conversation. Nevertheless, email is often used to avoidface-to-face encounters, and in practice is used as a means of distributing quick memos. Thus on balance it appears that email serves as an impediment, not an aide, to thoughtful and reflective communication.With respect to Web-based communication, the myriad of educational sites, interactive and otherwise, is strong evidence that the Web tends to enhance, rather than prevent, meaningful communication. Distance learning courses made possible by the Web lend further credence to this assertion. Nonetheless, by all accounts it appears that the Web will ultimately devolve into a mass medium for entertainment and for e-commerce, just like traditional television. Meaningful personal interactivity is already yielding to advertising, requests for product information, buy-sell orders, and titillating adult-oriented content.Thus, on balance these high-speed electronic media do indeed tend to prevent rather than facilitate meaningful and thoughtful communication. In the final analysis, any mass medium carries the potential for uplifting us, enlightening us, and helping us to communicate with and understand one another. However, by all accounts, television has not fulfilled that potential; and whether the Web will serve us any better is ultimately up to us as a society.。

(6)Homer 荷马史诗The Homeric poems for the first time expressed ideas of rationality and emancipation from myth.In homer we also find for the first time the spirit of competition. In time this became the Olympic Idea----an idea of noble contest marked by a spirit of high moral endeavor, rather than that of antagonism.(7)Nancy Reagan & Ronald Reagan 里根夫妇With Nancy Reagan at his side, Ronald Reagan went to become governor of California and one of the most influential presidents in American history.The image of Nancy can range from a frivolous, controlling socialite to a savvy woman, loyal friend and steadfast helpmate.She is unpopular in the early years of her husband’s presidency----due in part to a flap over her purchase of new china for the white house during a deep recession. After leaving Washington, Nancy became a more sympathetic figure.
