专八满分作文范文
2006年专八满分作文范文Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision. It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life. Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer put it, “And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated. This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life. First things first, ambition renders us a sense of mission.No matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice. Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more specially a sense of mission. And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness. Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered.” and became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome. John Milton, stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature. In the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to the full. Ambition may well serve as a catalyst activating one’s dormant potentials. Without ambition one’s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano. A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller. It was her ambition to be a useful person that has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon. Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction. If wrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others. Hitler, whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon. It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering. Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland. However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan. Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom. To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves. A poet says: life can be bad; life can be good; life can be dirty; life can be sad; life can even be painful. In my mind’s eye, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as arespectable personage if he is motivated by a well-orientated ambition.TEM 8考试模版范文Children should begin their formal schooling at an early agePeople have different views on what children should do at a very early age. Some think that children should begin their formal education and start to spend most of their time on studies. Others believe that it is still time for young children to play.Both views are based on respective ground.Those who argue for the playing time for children suggest that children at a very early age are still too young to focus their attention on learning. Their brain may not be ready for serious studies such as comprehension and memorizing learning materials. These people are partially right, for it is true that young children can hardly concentrate. Their attention on one thing lasts for no longer th an 15 minutes or so. But we can arrange classes for shorter periods, can’t we? And we can shift teaching subjects. Through putting them to study, young children are occupied with learning but not with playing.Those who argue for children’s early commenc ement for formal education believe that being put to studies, children can develop good habit of studying, for the process of learning helps develop children’s mental abilities like the ability to memorize, the ability to understand and the ability to do s imple calculation. Children’s habit of studying and love for learning are of great importance to youngsters because these two things set up the sound foundation for their future studies.Having children start formal education at a very early age benefits young children much more than simply letting them play most of their time. A good habit needs a long time to develop to become a second nature. More importantly, it is better to develop a good habit before a bad one may grow. Similarly, the love for learning should take roots before the love for playing is established.Should a person make an important decision alone?A person should never make an important decision alone, important decisions should be well thought out. People who know you well, know what is best for you, and close to you can give you good advice, give you a different perspective, or share their own experience.When I had difficulty deciding which classes to take in college, I talked to my teachers and advisors, they had the knowledge and expertise to help me determine which classes were the best ones to take for my future career. Without their advice, I might have chosen unsuitable courses.In college, I had convinced myself that I was not good enough to act in the school play. Therefore,I decided not to audition even though drama had always been my passion. The day of the audition,a friend of mine asked me why I was not auditioning. When I told her I did not feel I was good enough, she was shocked, she was able to provide me with another perspective on myself and mytalents. I rethought my decision and tried out….and got a lead in the play.Last year when I was trying to decide whether or not I should study overseas, I talked to my friend. This was the best thing I could have done. This was a big decision for me because I had never been overseas on my own and I was not sure if I could do it. She had studied overseas the previous year. She told me about the challenges and opportunities I might encounter and helped me make the right decision. I went and it was amazing.Whenever I am faced with an important decision, I seek advice from others so that I am well-informed and have the benefit of their perspective and experience.My opinion on advertisementAdvertisements appear everywhere in modern society. There are many ways to advertise and ads come in different forms. Newspapers and billboards carry advertisements; some products are announced on TV and radio which have a wide audience.Advertising is a big industry and many agencies are set up to furnish a variety of services for it.However, advertising is not welcome sometimes. A most irritating thing is to watch advertisements before and during films on TV. There are so many of them that they make you forget what you are sitting there for. The ironical thing is that advertisements of one type of things are often shown one after another so that you are confused as to which product you should choose. What’s more, advertising is not always truthful. The advertisers exaggerate the bene fits of the merchandise they want to sell in order to gain more profits. Thus the consumer falls victim to such advertising.Although there are disadvantages of ads, we can not forget the advantages and the conveniences they bring to us. First, by telling us where something is available, they may save us money and time. They guide us in finding suitable jobs and other information as well. Secondly, a wide range of activities and institutions receive financial support through advertising. Without this support we would have to pay much more for newspapers and sports games. Thirdly, perfect advertisements even provide entertainment. A considerable amount of effort goes into their production. So in most cases the photography is truly artistic, the slogans are genuinely witty, and the situations are decidedly funny.Generally speaking, advertisements have become one of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today. Let us make our life easier by learning to choose proper ads, and be the master of advertisements, not their slave.Living in university dormitories or apartments in the community?I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life, while juniors and seniors need the independence ofoff-campus life, student’s needs change over four years, so their housing should too.Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. You get the whole university experience. Plus, you interact more with other students. This includes not only your roommates, but everyone in your dormitory. The older students in the dormitory can be a big help for the new students. Keeping up with studies in your first year is hard enough. You should not have to worry about finding your way around and figuring out the university bureaucracy.Living in the dormitory also makes a student feel more a part of the university community. There are more opportunities for becoming involved in university activities and networking with students and university administration.Living off-campus, however, is a definite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s regulations, cooking meals, and figuring out budgets are all good practice for life after graduation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood.Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Campus can be like little worlds of their own. There are few children or older people and everyone is focused on education. Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students coming from difference places. It is a chance to find out what other people think and feel.I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students.Providing physical exercises should not be the school’s responsibility?While physical exercise is important, I do not believe that it is the school’s responsibility to provide physical training for its students.That is something that everyone can take care of on his or her own.Many students get plenty of physical exercise as part of their daily life or recreation. A student who bicycles ten miles to and from school does not need more exercise. A good physical education program must take a student’s outside activity into consideration. Otherwise, some students will spend valuable class hours repeating physical exercise.If a school offers such activities, it also suggests that students will be graded on them. The range of possible physical activities is great: football, swimming, weight lifting, ballet, ballroom dance, yoga, skiing, horseback riding, and golf are just a few. However, the number of activities that a school could offer is small. Some students could get bad grades in physical education simply because the school could not provide an activity they enjoy or do well. This seems unfair. Research suggests that participation, not excellence, in these activities determines the physical benefits the body will get.Another issue is economic. Many schools do not have the money to provide gym facilities, playing fields, and athletic equipment for their students. Other schools are located in cities where the kind of space just is not available. A few schools would rather keep money for academic purposes.Schools can certainly encourage physical activity. They can provide space for activities, events, and classes for physical activities. They can encourage students to plan time away from academic studies to get some exercise. However, I think that providing exercise should not be the schools responsibility.。

Ambition(2006专八真题作文)
Ambition Joseph Esptein,a famous American writer, once said,＂we decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide (so)that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But on matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.＂I support what Joseph Esptein says. What we decide and what we choose is what ambition is about.We want to do and we do not want to do is from our heart. That is our ambition. Our ambition decides what we can do. I remember why I choose this university. I have a dream of being a teacher when I was a little kid. I adore my teachers very much and in my eyes, they are the most powerful people in the world. Teachers know a lot of things about life and the whole world. They are knowledgeable and I admire people who are full of experience. I want to be a teacher and I hope I can be them one day form that time. I study hard. I won’t be late for school and I listened to teachers carefully.Besides,I tried my best and learned to the most excellent in my study in the class. My ambition is to be a teacher and I can never let my study fall behind others. Day by day, year by year, I prepared for a teacher step by step.Finally,I can have a choice when I graduate from senior high school. I choose to study in a university whichis suitable for a person to be a teacher. I never let my dream down when I am in university. I also focus on study and learn professional knowledge from elite professors. I have learned how to control a lesson and how to manage a class. Sooner or later, I can find a job to be a real teacher in a city and teach students how to be a goo person as well as how to choose and decide their own life.I follow my heart and my dream when I had in my kindergarten will come true soon. Forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.。

专八满分作文
吴中东推荐：英语专八满分作文：The development of an individual human existence can be divided into several important stages. But no period can be more influential upon the later course of our life than the years we have experienced in college. Here is the cradle of intelligentsia with vision, mission and passion. And now, as I am ready to leave campus and face the real world, I dare say that no other place can teach me more.I am very proud that in university I have learnt how important it is for one to have vision, that ability to see ahead of time and possibly others. College has raised me up, so that I could enjoy a broader view of the world. University Library, the sanctuary of mind always keeps me a close touch with the great thoughts of giants, Shakespeare to name only a few . All these overwhelmingly famous names have turned familiar and friendly here. These great minds teach me how to live a meaningful life. They warn me that the last but greatest enemy for mankind is human existence itself. Their words of wisdom shall guide and guard me to overcome all the obstacles beset in the course of my life. In the light of this statement, I have to say that college years have brightened up my vision. university that I have acquired an added understanding of the meaning of mission man should have shoulders strong enough to take more responsibilities of the time. College has enriched me, so that I, to some extent, have discovered the truth to live by.When I was a sophomore, I was chosen a volunteer for the Red Cross Institution. My job, then, was to assist the doctor with the blood collecting in a blood donation car on the street. Those days bestowed me with a moving but a little bit singular picture, in which the painful injection and hearty smile are perfectly and beautifully combined. Every parcel of blood means a piece of hope, through which I see that the possession of life lies in sharing. This is how college years has defined my mission.It is after some years university that I have better apprehended Tonybee when he said, “Glory belongs to those who are actually in the arena, fighting passionately whilst showing every now and then mistakes or shortcomings.” I have understood the spirit of transcending myself, sometimes even in a crazy way. If youth is the freshness of the deep springs of life, then college must be the fountain of passion. It cheers in the chaos of gym; it hides in the silence of lab. During the college years, I never stopped pursuing my own dream, because I never fail to be inspired by the flowing current of young wrence H. Summers, former President of Harvard said in his farewell speech, “College graduates, capable of deep reflections are what the world needs.” Living in a world of madding crowd, a group, or even a small group of people are expected to remain transcendental and sober. If any can live up to so high a standard of college graduates can. And I am fortunate in being among them at this moment and having spared little time cultivating my vision, mission and passion in the past four years. With these, I have better courage to change myself and most probably better preparation for my future.吴中东教授评语：这是一篇上乘的专八满分作文。

Different people have different opinions on it. Some people think that there is no university in the world which is open to students without tuition. As far as China is concerned, it is adeveloping country with the largest population in the world. The government is unable to allocate enough funds to pay for various teaching facilities and many different kinds of expenses. One of the ways to relieve the problem is for students to pay tuition. The money raised in this way can be used to improve the conditions for running schools.Others, however, are opposed to the tuition system. They argue that the living standard of the Chinese people, especially of those in the poor rural areas, is still low, compared with that in the Western World. The university tuition will certainly add to the already heavy burden of the parents, who live on their salaries or wages. Moreover, tuition may become an obstacle to the development of China's higher education. This is because it hinders some talented people from entering the university just on account of their poverty.The Rise of Intellectual Property ProtectionIntellectual property scarcely existed in the vocabularies of academic researchers and administrators even 15 years ago. Now it is an ever-present part of discussions on research policies and directions. This new importance of intellectual property in academia reflects a changing view on their relationships of research at universities to the surrounding society. Until recently, research at universities has been relatively isolated from demands of economic utility, and education of graduate students has emphasized a career in academic research as the final goal.Now almost all research universities in the United States have technology licensing operations. The number of U.S. patents granted to American universities in a year rose from about 300 in 1980 to almost 2000 in 1995. The direct economic impact of technology licensing on the universities themselves has been relatively small. In contrast, the impact of university technology transfer on the local and national economies has been substantial, and leads to the conclusion that the Licensing Act () is one of the most successful pieces of economic development in recent history. It has been estimated that more than 200000 jobs have been created in the United States in product development and manufacturing of products from university licenses, with the number increasing fairly rapidly as the licenses mature.Intellectual property terms have become vitally important. The company wants to be assured that it can use the results of the research-and that these results will not be available to their competitors. But most universities insist that transfer of research results is pivotal to their identity and mission and will not agree to keep the project results secret. The key to resolving this dilemma is to grant patents: the university will publish the results, but will first agree to file patents that will protect the company's privilege in the commercial market place.2013英语专八范文：是什么让我们作弊?What Has Turned Us Into Cheaters?"The writing topic for this year's CET-6 was revealed again before the day of testing." "A student has been expelled due to misbehavior in a final examination." This kind of titles has beenvery popular these days, and all these have revealed a public secret: cheating on exams. This behavior, which was denounced by almost all, is spreading at a high rate, and this has puzzles not only teachers but also the whole society. Then why do students cheat on exams? In my understanding, there are mainly three reasons,(namely unscientific testing, completion for scholarship, and pressure from future job hunting).Some students cheat on exams to protest against the improper testing format. The purpose of university education should be teaching students to use knowledge to solve problems; therefore, exams and tests should test students' ability to use certain knowledge to solve some problems. But most tests in China just test understanding instead of application, and some exams are even worse because they only test students' memory. Some students think it unnecessary to spend time and effort to prepare for such exams, so the just cheat in order to get a decent score, which in their mind, means nothing. Dr. Wang who specializes in education assessment supported this view in one paper, and he said that teachers should blame themselves because they forced students to cheat.More students cheat on exams in order to struggle for scholarship. As universities are collecting tuition from students, they also increase the amount of scholarship. This money of course is very attractive to students, who have virtually no income. As scholarship is mostly decided by examination scores, students willing to get the money will try every means possible. In a recent survey, some good students admitted that they cheat on exams because "if most students are cheating, it is unfair when you choose not to". This probably represents a breach of traditional ethics, and is a more important reason than conscientious protest against improper tests.The most important reason, in my mind, should be the pressure from job hunting. In the past few years the situation in the job market is deteriorating, and this forces students to prepare as early as possible. Due to its importance, students naturally want to make their reports more attractive, and one way to realize it is cheating. As a student said in a news report, students are aware of the cost of being caught, but the profit of not being caught is too much, so many of them just "go ahead". Maybe it is not unreasonable to say that it is the society that makes students cheaters.To sum up, the desires to get a good job and a high scholarship, or simply to signal a protest in current education, have forced us students to copy in exams. It is undeniable that some suffer from weak moral principles, but it is wrong to blame them only. Only when the society and the university find the real source of the problem and deal with it can we restore the traditional criticism against cheating.2013英语专八范文：旅行能促进国家间的交流Travel Helps Promote Communication between Countries With the steady growth in the world's economy as well as the people's living standard, nowadays more and more people are able to afford to go to travel abroad. Thus people ofdifferent races and colors have more chances to meet each other and understand each other. Such activities among people help promote the understanding and communication between countries, which helps to make this world a better and more harmonious place.Different countries are striving to develop their national tourism because tourism really has a lot of advantages. Firstly, beautiful scenery, attractive tourist spots and splendid culture allure tourists with different parts of the world, which provides many opportunities to promote exchanges among people from different backgrounds. For example, since the reform and opening-up, China, a country which has rich tourist resources, receives millions of foreign tourists every year. The frequent contacts between foreign tourists and Chinese people promote the exchanges of culture and science, creating international friendship and promoting deeper understanding and strengthening ties. Meanwhile this has accelerated the development of these countries. Secondly, travel enriches one's knowledge, widens one's vision and enhances mutual understanding. In the past, Chinese people knew little of the outside world. Since the reform and opening-up, with people's living standard greatly improved, more and more people have the chances to go abroad for sightseeing. Through traveling, we Chinese have expanded our scope of knowledge, and we have come to know the world better and have been learning how to develop our own country better. Thirdly, tourism boosts（推进）local economy and promotes commercial exchanges. Singapore is such a good example. It is a small country with scarce natural resources. But owing to the prosperous tourism, the country's economy develops very well and it is named one of the four economic "tigers" in northeastern Asia.But some people say that tourism cannot work so well as people expect. They argue that the purpose of the tourists is just to enjoy sightseeing and in fact tourism has its disadvantages. Firstly, tourism does great harm to the tranquility（宁静）and sanitation（卫生，卫生设施）of the local place, and sometimes it even causes pollution to the natural environment. Secondly, many tourists cannot even speak a word of the language of the country they are visiting. There is little possibility that they will have a deep understanding of the country in such a short period of time. Thirdly, during the trip, poor service and language barrier（语言障碍）may even give rise to unwanted（不必要的）misunderstanding. Also the tourists' wealth may make the local people more aware of their own poverty and lead to jealousy and psychological imbalance.As the proverb goes, " No garden is without weeds." In my opinion, compared with the advantages, disadvantages of tourism have become trivial things. It is important for a country to develop its tourism to upgrade its international position and at the same time promote global understanding to remove prejudice and bias. We should make good use of our rich tourist resources to make our motherland more beautiful and attract more foreign friends.2013英语专八范文：面试仅能看到外在而非内涵Interview -- A chance to view the outer part, but not the core As a senior student in university, I have gone through many interviews -- interview to recruit new club members, interview for internship（实习医师, 实习医师期）and so on. In my opinion, the procedure of recruitment is like choosing apples -- viewing resumes is liking picking up apples,you can only decide the appearances, or in other words, whether there are obvious flaws. Interview is like the first bite, by which you know the real taste of an apple. But only by eating all the apple can you see the core. That is to say, only by working with a person for some time, can you judge a person. So to me, interview can help us to get a basic knowledge about a person and is indispensable in recruitment but it has its limitations.Interview is most helpful in the aspect that it provides interviewer a chance to observe something that resumes can not tell, for example, How the interviewee behaves? Is he/she nervous under pressure? Does he/she has excellent communication skills like eye contact? These things might be very important. Because some job might ask more than one's academic knowledge it might also require the ability of dealing with people and so on. Another important function of interview is that it can help interviewer to decide whether the interviewee lied in his/her resume. As we all know, under hot completion, in order to get more chances, some people tend to lie in their resumes about their experiences and so on. But in an interview, interviewer could ask questions related with interviewee's experiences. If the experiences are made-up, it's easy to detect. The last advantage of interview I want to list here is that it can be carried out in different forms for different purposes for example, pressure interview -- to see how a person react under harsh conditions, group interview -- to see how a person act in a team and so on. Thus, by arranging an interview in a particular form, a company can find out the person most suitable for the job.But interviews have their limitations. You can not find out all about a person in only a few hours like that some apple might appear good and taste sweet but bad in the core.In summary I want to point out that interview is an efficient way for companies to choose their employs but only by observing the long term performance, can you judge an employee.。

满分作文ambition
满分作文AmbitionNowhere is the world ambition so vividly and accurately defined than in Joseph Epstein’s comment that “In the end forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.” A cosmetic definition as it seems, however, Epstein’s words can, on the whole, be interpreted and summarized into one sentence: to be ambitious is to strive for our own personal goals set upon our own values regardless of the possible out come and controversy. In other words, the two indispensable parts of ambition include; firstly, marking your own unique targets; secondly, persisting in achieving these aims without being distracted by others’ ridicule and score.To begin with, visualizing your personal goal in stead of drifting among the mass is, undoubtedly, the very prerequisite of the fulfillment of your aims. The reason for this is simple. We ourselves are the best judges of our capabilities and potentials. And the same voice is echoed in words that “we decide what is important and what is trivial in life.” Madam Currie never have achieved so many honors and breakthroughs in science and the discovery of radium if she took the same path as majority of the women in her time. It was her decision to devote her time and energy to science not household chores that made her stand out so prominently. On the other hand, she might have been just as plain and mundane as other women if she did not match herself with her personal aspirations and goals. Therefore, having your own goals is essential to the realization of ambition. Then there is the issue of how one should pursue these goals. Again Epstein gave a perfect explanation that “But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these decisions and choices are ours to make.” An excellent statement, the re are times when we give up our beliefs and aims simply because of a different perspective of someone else, and beaten in face of scathing scorn from the world. Yet Epstein shows us a higher path on which we are encouraged to stick to our ways and endure in spite of all possible criticism and indifference. And history has proved so many times that persistence regardless of hardship and ridicule wins us victory. Thus it is safe to say that resistance and a film belief of self is an integral part of ambition.Of course, Joseph Epstein’s quotation is definitely richer in content and intended messages than what I have illustrated and developed above, however, the essence of his saying, that ambition is of our own choosing and that we ought to hold fast to it will make its way though close scrutiny and prevail.。
英语专业八级满分作文范文推荐汇编
英语专业八级满分作文范文推荐Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision. It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life.Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer put it, “And as we decide and choose, so areour lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated. This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closestto truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.First things first, ambition renders us a sense of mission. No matter what decision you makeyou have to be responsible for your choice. Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, ormore specially a sense of mission. And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplishgreatness. Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, IAnd became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome. John Milton, conquered.” which England stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty l ines” would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in thehistory of English literature.In the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to the full. Ambition may well serveas a catalyst activating one’s dormant potentials. Without ambition one’s potentials will remainslumbering like a dormant volcano. A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller. Itwas her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into awell-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim atthe sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon.Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction. Ifwrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others. Hitler, whose ambition wasto conquer Europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon. It was this demonthat almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering. Another case isMacbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland. However, his ambition wasmaterialized by the murder of King Duncan. Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychologicalagony drove him to his tragic doom.To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled,otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves. A poet says: life can be bad; life can be good; life canbe dirty; life can be sad,; life can even be painful. In my mind’s eye, a person can make his lifebeautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivatedby a well-orientated ambition.2013 英语专八范文：中国大学收费制度On University Tuition System in ChinaTuition system has become one of the hottest topics in China since it was put into effect.Different people have different opinions on it. Some people think that there is no university inthe world which is open to students without tuition. As far as China is concerned, it is adeveloping country with the largest population in the world. The government is unable to allocate enough funds to pay for various teaching facilities and many different kinds of expenses. One of the ways to relieve the problem is for students to pay tuition. The money raised in thisway can be used to improve the conditions for running schools.Others, however, are opposed to the tuition system. They argue that the living standard ofthe Chinese people, especially of those in the poor rural areas, is still low, compared with that inthe Western World. The university tuition will certainly add to the already heavy burden of the parents, who live on their salaries or wages. Moreover, tuition may become an obstacle to the development of China's higher education. This is because it hinders some talented people from entering the university just on account of their poverty.The Rise of Intellectual Property ProtectionIntellectual property scarcely existed in the vocabularies of academic researchers and administrators even 15 years ago. Now it is an ever-present part of discussions on research policies and directions. This new importance of intellectual property in academia reflects a changing view on their relationships of research at universities to the surrounding society. Until recently, research at universities has been relatively isolated from demands of economic utility,and education of graduate students has emphasized a career in academic research as the final goal.Now almost all research universities in the United States have technology licensing operations. The number of U.S. patents granted to American universities in a year rose from about 300 in 1980 to almost 2000 in 1995. The direct economic impact of technology licensing on the universities themselves has been relatively small. In contrast, the impact of university technology transfer on the local and national economies has been substantial, and leads to the conclusion that the Licensing Act () is one of the most successful pieces of economic development in recent history. It has been estimated that more than 200000 jobs have been created in the United States in product development and manufacturing of products from university licenses, with the number increasing fairly rapidly as the licenses mature.Intellectual property terms have become vitally important. The company wants to be assured that it can use the results of the research-and that these results will not be available totheir competitors. But most universities insist that transfer of research results is pivotal to their identity and mission and will not agree to keep the project results secret. The key to resolving this dilemma is to grant patents: the university will publish the results, but will first agree to file patents that will protect the company's privilege in the commercial market place.2013英语专八范文：是什么让我们作弊?What Has Turned Us Into Cheaters?"The writing topic for this year's CET-6 was revealed again before the day of testing." "A student has been expelled due to misbehavior in a final examination." This kind of titles has been very popular these days, and all these have revealed a public secret: cheating on exams. This behavior, which was denounced by almost all, is spreading at a high rate, and this has puzzles not only teachers but also the whole society. Then why do students cheat on exams? In my understanding, there are mainly three reasons,(namely unscientific testing, completion for scholarship, and pressure from future job hunting).Some students cheat on exams to protest against the improper testing format. The purposeof university education should be teaching students to use knowledge to solve problems; therefore, exams and tests should test students' ability to use certain knowledge to solve some problems. But most tests in China just test understanding instead of application, and some exams are even worse because they only test students' memory. Some students think it unnecessary to spend time and effort to prepare for such exams, so the just cheat in order to get a decent score, which in their mind, means nothing. Dr. Wang who specializes in education assessment supported this view in one paper, and he said that teachers should blame themselves becausethey forced students to cheat.More students cheat on exams in order to struggle for scholarship. As universities are collecting tuition from students, they also increase the amount of scholarship. This money of course is very attractive to students, who have virtually no income. As scholarship is mostly decided by examination scores, students willing to get the money will try every means possible.In a recent survey, some good students admitted that they cheat on exams because "if most students are cheating, it is unfair when you choose not to". This probably represents a breach of traditional ethics, and is a more important reason than conscientious protest against improper tests.The most important reason, in my mind, should be the pressure from job hunting. In the past few years the situation in the job market is deteriorating, and this forces students to prepareas early as possible. Due to its importance, students naturally want to make their reports more attractive, and one way to realize it is cheating. As a student said in a news report, students are aware of the cost of being caught, but the profit of not being caught is too much, so many ofthem just "go ahead". Maybe it is not unreasonable to say that it is the society that makes students cheaters.To sum up, the desires to get a good job and a high scholarship, or simply to signal a protestin current education, have forced us students to copy in exams. It is undeniable that some suffer from weak moral principles, but it is wrong to blame them only. Only when the society and the university find the real source of the problem and deal with it can we restore the traditional criticism against cheating.2013英语专八范文：旅行能促进国家间的交流Travel Helps Promote Communication between Countries With the steady growth in the world's economy as well as the people's living standard, nowadays more and more people are able to afford to go to travel abroad.

商务094 肖书婷06年专八写作AmbitionAmbition plays a very important role in everyone’s life,because it is a guide for us to make decisions and choices.W e use it to recognise what is important and what is trivial for us in life.W e also use it to decide what makes us significant or tiny.Then we can clearly know what we do or refuse to do.When I was a child,ambition in my mind was just the same as those things which I could get good grades or receive the praise from my parents and teachers. As I get older, I become to realise that ambition is a dream that a kind of person I want to be such as teachers, businessmen etc..And now ambition is not simply a dream, it’s a kind of attitude towards life.W e all make decisions and choices according to our ambition,then we get the results.As Joseph Epstein said “W e decide.W e choose.And as we decide and choose,so are our lives formed.In the end,forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.”Ambition can fulfill our lives. First of all, ambition gives us an objective to chase to achieve.W e will strive for it all the time.No matter what the result is,we get the process that is enough tosatisfied ourselves as a response.In addition,only when we have ambition,can we have motivation to do everything we decide to do.

Ambition 英语作文带翻译
Ambition 英语作文带翻译Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer, once said,“ We decide what is important and what is trivial in life.We decide (so) that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about. ” He gives due weight to the role of ambition in our life, but he ignores the fact that ambition alone cannot form or change a person's destiny. To fulfill ambition and “make us significant" , we also need to be hardworking, persistent,and courageous.爱泼斯坦，美国作家，曾说，“我们决定什么是重要的，什么是琐碎的生活。
我们决定（所以），让我们什么都重要的是我们做什么或不做。
但无论怎样漠不关心宇宙可能是我们的选择和决定，这些选择和决定都是我们自己做。
Ambition 专八作文
There are two parts in what Joseph Epstein regard as the truth that I am inclined to direct my attention to. One is "As we decide and choose, so are our lives formed", in which I concur with him, and the other is "Forming our own destiny is what ambition is about", towards which my suspicion goes.The former part seems to convey that ambition has something to do with where we will be in our later life, and it can be easy to understand. Caesar, the ancient Roman Empire, urged by his ambition "I came, I saw, I conquered," became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome, Premier Zhou Enlai, always stimulated by his ambition of striving for the flourishing of China, made a great contribution to the cause of building a stronger China and became one of the greatest leaders in the history of China. The famous line going around China several years ago "Heart leads you to the stage where you are going to appear", to a certain degree, enhances the convincingness of my points.Yet the latter part sounds a bit tricky, for it not just means that the relation between ambition and destiny exists, but also places much emphasis on how ambition shapes destiny. And this, I believe, is a step too far. The point Joseph Epstein here wanted to focus on is Ambition Determinism.Have you ever watched American Idol or similarly televised singing contest? So many people nowadays have their STAR dreams and want to seize the golden chance when the audition day begins in their city. They have ambition, their dream, but most of them finally break it ; even if some of them survive the first round, only one can win the whole contest and get a GoldenContract fulfilling their goal of releasing an album. Indeed, all the time, it is not ambition but numerous factors that shape our destiny. They include capability, industry, perseverance, emotional quotient, appearance and luck and so on. Therefore, destiny is what everything is about.Ambition has no decisive effects. Life is formed when we decide and choose, yet not just what ambition is about. On our road that leads to our achievements, ambition is one necessity that is not supposed to be absent in our travelling bag; we continue to dream, and dream big, and without the help of other necessities, we cannot make our dream come true, can we?。

A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller.

Others think that it is always better to have a teacher. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons to develop your essay.Most of us can learn how to do something simple on our own with just a set of instructions. However, to learn about something more complex, it's always best to have a teacher.Teachers bring with them varied and useful backgrounds. They've been trained to teach individuals in different ways depending on their style. For instance, omen students learn better by discussing a topic. Others learn more by writing about it. Teachers can help students learn in the way that's best of each student. A textbook or a manual can only give you one way of learning something. Plus they're only as helpful as your ability to understand them. A good teacher can adapt her teaching to your needs.Teachers help you focus on what you're learning. If you're learning something by yourself, it’s easy to become distracted, and go on to other activities. Teachers keep your attention on the subject. They also approach a subject logically, taking it one step at a time. On your own, it's tempting to skip parts of the learning process you think you don’t need. That can binder your ability to really understand the subject.Learning a subject on your own is a very narrow way of learning. You can only use the information you get from the textbook. With a teacher, you get the information in the written materials as well as the teacher's own knowledge of the topic. Teachers can also provide extra materials to broaden the scope of what you're learning.There's nothing wrong with studying on your own, and a learner can always benefit from some quiet study. For the best possible learning, though, a good teacher is the biggest help you can havePeople have different views on what children should do at a very early age. Some think that children should begin their formal education and start to spend most of their time on studies. Others believe that it is still time for young children to play. Both views are based on respective ground. Those who argue for the playing time for children suggest that children at a very early age are still too young to focus their attention on learning. Their brain may not be ready for serious studies such as comprehension and memorizing learning materials. These people are partially right, for it is true that young children can hardly concentrate. Their attention on one thing lasts for no longer than 15 minutes or so. But we can arrange classes for shorter periods, can't we? And we can shift teaching subjects. Through putting them to study, young children are occupied with learning but not with playing. Those who argue for children's early commencement for formal education believe that being put to studies, children can develop good habit of studying, for the process of learning helps develop children's mental abilities like the ability to memorize, the ability to understand and the ability to do simple calculation. Children's habit of studying and love for learning are of great importance to youngsters because these two things set up the sound foundation for their future studies. Having children start formal education at a very early age benefits young children much more than simply letting them play most of their time. A good habit needs a long time to develop to become a second nature. More importantly, it is better to develop a good habit before a bad one may grow. Similarly, the love for learning should take toots for before the love for playing is established.People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.People attend colleges or universities for a lot of different reasons. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and the world around them.Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the primary reason to go to college, They know that the job market is competitive. At college, they can learn new skill for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as information technology, that are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means having the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going to college is the first time they’ve been away from home by themselves. In additions, this is the first time they’ve had to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their knowledge of themselves.Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will be their last chance for a long time to learn about something that doesn’t relate to their career.I would recommend that peopl e not be so focused on a career. They should go to college to have new experiences and learn about themselves and the world they live in.It has been said, “Not every thing that is learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?“Experience is the best teacher” is an old cliché, but I agree with it. The most important, and sometimes the hardest, lessons we learn in life come from our participation in situations. You can’ learn everything from a book.Of course, learning from books in a formal educational setting is also valuable. It’s in schools that we learn the information we need to function in our society. We learn how to speak and write and understand mathematical equations. This is all information that we need to live in our communities and earn a living.Nevertheless, I think that the most important lessons can’t be taught; they have to be experienced. No one can teach us how to get along with others or how to have self-respect. As we grow from children into teenagers, no one can teach us how to deal with peer pressure. As we leave adolescence behind and enter adult life, no one can teach us how to fall in love and get married.This shouldn’t stop us from looking for guidelines along the way. Teachers and parents are valuable sources of advice when we’re young. As we enter into new stages in our lives, the advice we receive from them is very helpful because they have already bad similar experiences. But experiencing our own triumphs and disasters is really the only way to learn how to deal with life.。

Learning a second language has become increasingly important in today's globalized world. With the rapid development of technology and the increasing interconnectedness of different cultures, the ability to communicate in more than one language has become a valuable skill that can open up a world of opportunities. In this essay, I will discuss the importance of learning a second language and the benefits it can bring to individuals and society as a whole.First and foremost, learning a second language can greatly enhance one's cognitive abilities. Studies have shown that bilingual individuals have better problem-solving skills, enhanced creativity, and improved memory. This is because learning a new language requires the brain to work in different ways, which can lead to a moreflexible and adaptable mind. In addition, being able tospeak more than one language can also delay the onset of age-related cognitive decline, such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, learning a second language is not only beneficial for personal development, but also for maintaining mental acuity in later life.Furthermore, being able to speak a second language can significantly increase one's career prospects. In today's globalized economy, many companies are looking for employees who can communicate with clients and partners from different countries. Therefore, individuals who are fluent in a second language are often more competitive in the job market and may have access to more opportunities for career advancement. In addition, learning a second language can also lead to higher earning potential, as bilingual individuals are often able to command higher salaries due to their valuable skills.Moreover, learning a second language can also foster a greater sense of empathy and understanding towards other cultures. Language is deeply intertwined with culture, and by learning a new language, individuals can gain a deeperinsight into the customs, traditions, and values of other societies. This can lead to greater tolerance and acceptance of diversity, which is essential in today's multicultural world. In addition, being able to communicate in a second language can also facilitate travel andcultural exchange, allowing individuals to connect with people from different backgrounds and broaden their horizons.In conclusion, learning a second language is an invaluable skill that can bring a wide range of benefits to individuals and society as a whole. From enhancingcognitive abilities to increasing career prospects and fostering cultural understanding, the advantages of being bilingual are undeniable. Therefore, it is essential for individuals to recognize the importance of learning a second language and to make the effort to acquire this valuable skill.

【精品资料】英语专业八级考试满分作文ambition Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision. It provides us with the required driving
force to accomplish any undertakings in our life. Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American w riter put it, “And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated. This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.
First things first, ambition renders us a sense of mission. No
matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice. Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more specially a sense of mission. And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness. Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered.” And became an unrivaled empire builder
in the history of Rome. John Milton, stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature.
In the second place, ambition can bring one’s po tentials to the
full. Ambition
may well serve as a catalyst activating one’s dormant potentials. Without ambition one’s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant
volcano. A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller. It was her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon.
Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction. If wrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others. Hitler, whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon. It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering. Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland. However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan. Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom.
To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves. A poet says: life can be bad; life can be good; life can be dirty; life can be sad,; life can even be painful. In my mind’s eye, a
person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a
respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-orientated ambition.。
