This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures. Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals. Merely acting on one's desires, while ignoring the facts at hand, cannot lead to success.
The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking. Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from universities and begin looking for work. Many of them fail to find suitable employment because there are sim*** not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of graduates. In addition, however, one might also cite flawed individual assessment as a reason.
In order to create a realistic target for one's future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly. A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge. In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric. A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.
The existence of etiquette makes the individual more perfect. Etiquette is the embodiment of one‘s moral cultivation. During the Qingming Festival, you should not talk loudly or play and play in front of the monument.Maintaining good etiquette is a prerequisite for us to achieve our ambition.
The existence of etiquette makes the country more respected. Since ancient times in China, there has been the etiquette of dripping water, which should be reported by Yongquan and inherited from each other. Novel coronavirus wreaked havoc, the surrounding countries extended a helping hand. “throw me a peach and return it with Qiongyao.” the epidemic in China is basically restrained, but the epidemic abroad is very serious, and the etiquette of the Chinese people in return for gratitude has spread to every corner of the world. One province includes one city, and it becomes one province and one country. With the donation of materials and manpower, various countries have thanked China, and Europe has also given birth to the Chinese flag in their pavilion. I believe that it is precisely because of this etiquette that China has won the respect of the world.
There is no doubt that China’s fast growth in economy has attracted the world’s attention and many businessmen have noticed the great market potential. So there comes the products that are added with Chinese flavor. China as the developing country is affecting the world.
The things with Chinese feature can be found around the world, such as Chinatown, where is the place not only for Chinese people live and work, but also a place for foreigners to learn more about Chinese culture. This year, the Chinese feature had shown in the biggest underwear’s fashion show, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show. The designers put Chinese flavor in the dress. The public has witnessed the trend, and they appreciate this different but amazing style. Though some people criticized the designers’ misunderstanding about Chinese feature, the world is curious about China.
There are many foreigners learning mandarin, because they love Chinese culture and want to probe more. What’s more, more Asian faces appear in the mainstream foreign media, which shows the growing influence of Asia. China as the big country will naturally catch their attention.
Many mothers are annoyed by their children’s behaviors before they can understand the mothers’ idea. Babies’ way of thought is different from the adults’, and most of them are in the situation of out of side, and out of mind. If people can better understand the kid’s recognition, then they will have their own ways to educate.
Though the kids are very small and they even can’t talk, they are smart actually. They know how to judge whether what they do is acceptable or not. For example, when mother cooks food for the baby and the baby refuses to eat. After trying to feed the baby many times, finally the mother gets angry and walks away, then the baby will perceive the mother’s unhappy emotion and realizes his wrong behavior.
People always say that kids are knowing nothing, so their wrong behaviors can be forgiven all the time. It seems that being innocent can be out of taking responsibility. This is ridiculous. Everyone should be responsible for what they do. If the kids are wrong, the parents need to educate them immediate, so as to help them to be a better person.
The admiration of Expo 2010
It is not an overstatement to say that the Expo is a large and grand ceremonies. More than 200 courtiers and international organizations will participate in Expo 2010,which is expected to attract 70 million visits. Many factors have contributed to it and the following are the most typical ones .
To begin with , Chinese people have become more confident and independent than ever before as China’s overall strength and international prestige rise up greatly. Moreover, the theme of Expo 2010 is “Better City , Better Life ” . Not only the environment has become more sanitary ,but also construction is getting better and better .Lastly , our government attach great important to organize .
To sum up , I’m looking forward to Shanghai World Expo held in Shanghai has been constantly making progress , I believe that the Expo world surely be the same as the Olympic Games a complete success . Especially I hope that it can push forward the city development and help bring about a better urban living environment , just like the theme : better city , better life .

【题目要求】 Advertisements discourage us from being different individuals and make us become what they want us to be and look the same．Do you agree or disagree？
Advertisements discourage us from being different individuals and make us become what they want us to be and look the same．Do you agree or disagree？
【参考范文】 Nowadays，the overwhelming influence of advertisements on media has made too many controversial social issues．Some people argue that advertisements make the audience have the similar look by driving them to buy products of the same brand．Personally，I fundamentally agree with this assertion，and my reasons will be explored as below．
Admittedly，the literal intention of advertisements is to sharpen the concept of individualism．For the purpose of distinguishing brand names，slogans and testimonials in advertisement are always full of very personalized words，including "new"，"innovation"，"uniqueness"，"revolution"，"the best"，"the only"，"the first"．It is clear that core values of these words bring people a motivation to change，and a desire to try something distinctive．Consequently，the gap between people can be broadened，because any individual is stimulated by advertisements to express their personalities by buy different items，instead of following common tastes．
However，when considering practical effects of advertisements on the society，I strongly believe they play a role of depersonalizing the audience，and the first reason is that commercials are the key tool for big companies to monopolize the market．One hand，many big companies invest billions of dollars annually in making fascinating and prepossessing advertisements to attract the public，which consistently maintains the loyalty of patrons，and cultivate good impressions of potential customers on their brands．On the other hand，small companies have too limited financial ability to afford these costly publicity campaigns，so that their names and influences continue to fade and lose consumer groups．That is to say，advertisements，an expensive privilege only for rich and big companies，help these companies exclusively occupy the market，as well as reducing the diversity of brands．In this situation，people definitely look the same，because they have no other options but buy the same—brand food，clothes and devices produced by a dominating company．
Another reason supporting this assertion lies on the fact that exposure to advertisements standardizes thoughts and tastes among audiences，especially in terms of their appearance．A typical example comes from fashion，cosmetic and shampoo commercials which highlight the close—up of images of certain model or celebrity．This is a strong brainwash by im*ing that images of these actors are common standards of human beauty，and then triggering massive public imitation shows round by round．In too many cases，large groups of hypnotized people，regardless of ages，careers and races，blindly follow and chase so—called iconic figures in an advertisement，mainly through buying and using the same lipstick and perfume，wearing same clothes，watch，ornaments and bag，even copying the same hair style．
In conclusion，I believe the main social influence of advertisements is to make people have the similar images apparently．Although slogans of advertisements tend to individualize the audience，the truth is that advertisements not only let big companies rule the market solely，but also manipulate the public’s minds to buy the same things．
it can be discerned that the american students prefer to read the popular novel rather than other kind of books, such as the nonpopular (unpopular）novel, the books of technology, poem and so on. the percentage of the popular novel current(currently）is about 68.2%. other kind of novels current(currently）is, reletively (relatively), about 16.8%, 8.3%, and 5.2%.
it is not hard to think out why the popular novels can attract so many students. the popular novel is interesting, and not so abstract as books that full of the mathmatic formulate(mathematic formulae). however, as university students, study is the first task for us to do. so we should pay more attention to the books about our major. fictions may color our life, but it can not be the key part of our studying life.
personally, i would like to spend my free time in reading books about my major, such as technology digests, com*r newspaper... because i want do to(删掉）a good job in my subjects. fortunately, my dreams come true, meanwhile, i ve gained other things--i found（have founded）a solid basic knowledge about my major(加破折号)make me feel easy to contrive the electronic circuit which have to be done during our bachelor years. thanks to those books!
last friday afternoon, when i was on my way home, a traffic accident took place at the crossing of shanghai road.
a pupil was knocked down by a black car when he was walking across the street. his legs were badly hurt. sever(several）minutes later an ambulance came, and the driver of the black car sent the pupil to the hospital immediately.
in my eyes, this accident was due to that the pupil broke the traffic rules. that is to say, the pupil walked across the street when the traffic lights were red. as soon as the driver saw the pupil, he stopped the car, however, it was too late. in my opinion, it was necessary to advocate people to confirm to the traffic rules. if the pupil hadnt broken the traffic rules, the accident might not have happened.
it is descerned that（删掉）the number of pirate（private）houses had been on a（an）increase from 1990 to 2000.in 1990, it was about 20 percent; in 1995 it was 40 percent; in 2000, it was 80 percent.
there were some reasons for this fact. one of them was the improvement of peoples living conditions（condition）, all people wanted to own pirate houses.
on the other hand, peoples income was on a（an）increase, they could afford to buy pirate houses!
obviously, there were some good things resulted from this fact. such as it could improve chinese economy. but there were also some bad things, such as it took much time to go to work!
We cannot fail to notice that countless uncivilized behaviors exist in our daily lives， such as spitting， talking loudly， littering， saying nasty words in public places and so forth。 All these are bad manners that we should not lose sight of。 As an ancient land enjoying a splendid civilization spanning over 5，000 years， China is witnessing a surge in improper acts that every Chinese citizen should feel ashamed of。 Uncivilized behaviors by a host of Chinese both at home and abroad have seriously affected Chinas image， according to an editorial posted on People Dailys official website。
As Chinese， we should not get offended when others point out our weaknesses but should focus more attention on improving ourselves。 We should strive to identify the causes of those improper behaviors and find ways to eliminate them。 There are a host of causes， I would argue， behind this trend。 To name only one： the lack of moral education。 The government should wage a massive moral campaign to fight against this trend and we ourselves should endeavor to behave decently in our daily lives。 As college students of the new age， we should take the leading role。
社会不文明现象

Shopping through Media
With the development of science and technology, it is much more common for people to buy goods through different kinds of media than before. People can buy things such as com*rs and necklaces through TV, radio, the Internet, etc.
Shopping through media is welcomed by most people due to various reasons. From the perspective of consumers, it can save time for people who don’t have much spare time. For retailers, it can cut costs for those without much circulating funds. However, there are still some defects in shopping through media. First, compared with face-to-face deal, it seems less reliable and trustworthy. Second, people will lose the fun of bargaining.
In my view, although shopping via media brings great convenience to us, we still should be brings great convenience to us, we still should be careful when we “go shopping” through media. We should check the information released by the media. Only in this way can we fully enjoy the convenience brought by media shopping without the concern of being cheated.
One of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. There are some people, of course, who from the time they are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.
Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions
