是你最需要的，老师的回答就是自己想要的那个。

Well I think being friendly is the most valuable. Coz first, I am an introverted person and busy with my study, and I really don't know, nor do I want to spend a lot of time, wondering how to deal with someone who is indifferent, aggressive, or even hostile; complicated interpersonal relationship is simply too time and energy consuming for me; considering you have to live together under the same roof for at least one semester, a good relation is really crucial; second, I think being friendly means a smooth and open communication between us; that would be a blessing, we could treat each other like siblings, have fun together, learn from each other and help each other if any of us is in trouble.
T2
which do you prefer: new books or second-hand books?
这道题智课机经命中了，如果你听过直播课或私人订制 1 对 1 课程的话，这道题就很容
易解答。

喜欢新书的人，因为新书干净、整洁，没有他人使用过的痕迹……
喜欢旧书的人，因为旧书便宜，并且他们看的是书的内容，是否是新的则无关紧要。

对于这种话题来说，你总有自己的选择，也总有自己的原因，老师的选择如下所述：
I would prefer to use second-hand books. Coz first it is environmental-friendly; considering the increasingly severe environmental pollution, if all of us began to use second-hand books, numerous trees or timber could be saved; second, we could learn much from a second-hand book, coz its previous owner may have noted down a lot of important theories or explanation on the pages, so that would help you to learn faster; for example, last semester, I bought a second-hand chemistry book, with a really thorough and meticulous notes system, which helps me to master the course quickly, and eventually I got an A in the final exam.

这道题也是道老题了，套路什么的，尽管往里放吧。

你需不需要政府的帮助？
你认为你和你的家人能够解决一切重大问题吗？有了相应的解题思路，就可以解答这道题目了。

老师的思路是这样的。

Taking a panoramic picture of the entire human history, what role should government
play has caused incessant debates among scholars, politicians, and even common people on the streets. Some argue that we should get rid of any form of government and spare the government red tape, thus stop bureaucrats from wasting our hard earned tax dollar, while others believe that government can maintain stability of the community, provide social welfare and prevent unlawful conducts by leveraging the judicial branch. I, personally, am in favor of the latter view, meaning that citizens do need help from the government based on the following reasons.
First off, government has the means to leverage billions of dollars and invest in infrastructures, education, and social welfare, which is beyond the power of any individuals or institutions. Think about it, the transportation that we rely on commuting from home to work, like the subway, bus, and trains need mufti millions dollar to construct and maintain. The
train runs through lots of states and provinces, the highway covers a large expanse encompassing different regions, and a few individuals cannot make a good decision, and it should be only possible by overall decision made by the central government. An individual or family cannot balance the interests of all the people involved. Plus, education is also another important area, in which government should play its role. Generally, the tuition of private schools are far more costly the that of the public ones, and if there are only private school, how could the kids from these underprivileged families get proper educations. So, it is obvious that we rely on government in these aspects.
Additionally, people depend on government to resist foreign invasions and provide shelter in face of catastrophic natural disasters. For example, currently, Muslim extremists organization ISIS waged a few terrorist attack in major cities around the world, which incurred numerous casualties and colossal economics loss. A few countries have decided to deploy military to fight ISIS, and such costly project cannot be made possible by just a few individual, in fact, it takes officers, intelligence personnel and staff members to work together to win the war, which cannot be gathered together without the government. The same is true for natural disasters. For example, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake hit Nepal in the first half of this years, thousands of people were left homeless since the quake destroyed basically all the housing complex and apartments. It was the government and other institutions who provide temporary camp, medication and food to these victims who were traumatized both physically and mentally. Also, these timely assistance and monetary donation would not be possible without the arrangements made by the government.
All in all, with the above careful analysis, government is indispensable for the livelihood and well-being of the people since it can provide infrastructure, education and social welfare to the people, and protect citizens when emergencies happen, like wars and natural disasters. Indeed, people do need government in lots of aspects.。
