Thank you all. Thank you very much. With the lighting of the National Christmas Tree, we observe one of the great traditions of our nations capital. And throughout the Christmas season, we recall that Gods love is found in 1)humble places, and Gods peace is offered to all of us. Laura and I are pleased to be with you at this Christmas Pageant of Peace, and we thank you all for coming as well.
I want to thank Barbara for hosting this event. (Applause) I want to thank all the 2)entertainers for making the night such a special evening, thank you all for coming. (Applause) I want to thank Peter and the board of directors and the production team for organizing this fine event. I appreciate Santa coming. (Laughter) Looks like he needs a belt for Christmas. (Laughter) Finally, I want to thank all the good people of the National Park Service. (Applause) The National Christmas Tree is a living tree and the Park Service looks after it every single day of the year.
For nearly 80 years, in times of calm and in times of challenge, Americans have gathered for this ceremony. The simple story we remember during this season speaks to every generation. It is the story of a quiet birth in a little town, on the margins of an indifferent empire. Yet, that single event set the direction of history and still changes millions of lives. For over two 3)millennia, Christmas has carried the message that God is with us - and, because Hes with us, we can always live in hope.
In this season, we celebrate with our families - and dee*** miss family members no longer with us. Thousands of families in our nation are still grieving over the terrible losses that came to them last year on September the 11th. We pray for their comfort. We pray for the comfort for everyone who has lost a life this year.
Our entire nation is also thinking at this time of year of the men and women in the military, many of whom will spend this Christmas at posts far from home. They stand between Americans and grave danger. They serve in the cause of peace and freedom. They wear the uniform proudly and we are proud of them. (Applause)
Laura and I wish every American family the blessings of this season, happy holidays, and a merry Christmas. And now we have the honor of lighting the National Christmas Tree. And joining us, weve got two new friends, Samara Banks and Ben Schneller, to help us light this tree.
Now, if everybody - you all step up here - (laughter) - get ready. Please join us in the 4)countdown: Five, four, three, two, one. (Applause)
Nowadays more and more parents are eager to send their children to study abroad before they finish high school by whatever means and at whatever cost.It is quite understandable for parents to send their children to study overseas because they place high expectations on their children. They are encouraged by the success stories of those who have completed their overseas study.
With the development of economy, companies and institutions at home are giving more and more emphasis on overseas experiences, too. Consequently, pursuing overseas study became a kind of short cut in gaining a better future. Moreover, there is still one underlying reason for this rush-economic reason. The rapid economic progress in the past few years in China has enabled more and more parents to afford the huge cost for their children’s overseas study.As for me, overseas study is surely a helpful way to get both advanced knowledge and necessary experiences, but overseas study at an early age is neither necessary nor benef1cial. The students may be too young to either tend for themselves or think for themselves. I do think that overseas study can contribute to one’s self-improvement, but it’s better to be pursued after one has finished his college study at home, when he is more capable of learning and living on his own.
During the SXSW trade show, which ran from March13 to 15, ofo reportedly received a lot of interestfrom potential collaborators among the USexhibitors, users or even governmental agencies.
据报道，在今年的`西南偏南大会上(3月13日-15日)，许多美国参展商、用户甚至**机构都对ofo共享单车表现出了极大的兴趣。
The company plans to adopt localization measures inaccordance with regional laws and regulations, as wellas the preferences of local users.
该公司计划将共享单车引入美国，并按照当地法律法规以及用户的偏好采取本土化战略。
A low price of 50 cents for half-hour and the convenience of being able to "pick up and parkbikes wherever you want", have given the company the edge on its American compe***s, suchas BCycle and Spin.
半小时仅需50美分的低收费、可以“随时随地取车停车”的使用便捷性，使得ofo公司在与BCycle和Spin等美国企业竞争时占据优势地位。
The founder of Mobike, another Chinese bike-sharing leading company, also attended a sharingsession at the SXSW Trade Show to introduce the enterprise to overseas audiences.
中国另一家著名共享单车企业摩拜单车也出*了西南偏南大会的一场分享会议，向海外观众们介绍了自己。
Unlike ofo’s ambitious overseas plan, Mobike is being more cautious, expressing no intentionof entering the US market for the time being.
和ofo踌躇满志进军海外不同，摩拜单车要更加谨慎一些，该公司表示目前还不打算进入美国市场。
As for the bigger picture, the company expects to steadily and gradually operate in Singapore,beginning with a "soft-landing" first, said Mobike founder Hu Weiwei in an interview with ThePaper.
摩拜单车创始人胡玮炜在接受《澎湃新闻》的采访时表示，关于未来发展计划，该公司希望在新加坡稳步经营，首先实现“软着陆”。
In recent years, with the increasingly fierce competition, more and more people are bearing great pressure from study, work and life. Under great pressure, many people begin to become sad, hopeless and finally suffer from depression.
*年来，随着竞争的日趋激烈，越来越多的人正承受来自于学*、工作和生活的巨大压力。许多人在巨大的压力下开始变得悲伤、绝望，最终患上抑郁症。
Depression has brought great bad influence on ones study, work and life. In fact, depression affects not only ones mind but also his body. Those with severe depression even are unable to continue their work or carry out normal activities. The symptoms mainly include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, not wanting food and trouble sleeping. Besides, depression is linked to many other diseases, like heart disease. Whats worse, depression is one ofthe main courses of peoples ***.
抑郁症给一个人的学*、工作和生活带来了严重的不良影响。事实上，抑郁症不仅影响一个人的心理，而且还影响到他的身体。那些患有严重抑郁症的人甚至无法继续工作或从事正常的活动。其症状主要包括悲伤、绝望的情绪，以及食欲差和失眠。此外，抑郁症与其他许多疾病有牵连，例如心脏病。更糟的是，抑郁症是有些人自杀的主要原因之一。
Considering the bad effects of depression, it must be taken more seriously. For those patients with depression, first of all, it is important to accept treatment timely instead of covering or ignoring the disease. Besides, people should learn to release pressure and keep a pleasant mood. ActuaUy, the best treatment is a combination of medication and psychological help. Only in this way can people reduce the chance of suffering from depression or get rid of it.
鉴于抑郁症的不良影响，必须加以认真对待。对于那些抑郁症患者而言，首先，重要的是要及时接受治疗，而不是遮盖或忽视这种疾病。此外，人们应该学会释放压力，保持愉快的心情。其实，最好的治疗是将药物治疗与心理帮助相结合。只有这样，才能够减少患抑郁症的可能性或摆脱抑郁症的困扰。
With the development of national economy, a worrying social problem also arises――people can trust each other less and less, especially strangers.
This phenomenon will bring many unfavorable consequences. First and foremost, peoples life will lose a lot of fun since they become cautious all the time. What makes *** worse, the general expense of doing things rises abruptly as a result of the fact that people dont want to help strangers. FinaUy, if this matter is not properly settled, it will pose a threat to national education.
It is high time that we called on the efforts from all sides to deal with this problem properly. For one thing, the government should make all efforts to create a harmonious social atmosphere. For another, teachers should seize every chance to stimulate affection and unselfishness in the hearts of the students. FinaUy, the mass media should also play a positive role in restoring mutual trust.
No matter whether this problem is a natural result of social development, it is important that we find a satisfactory solution to it in this social transformation era. (181 words)
随着国民经济的发展，一个令人担忧的问题也同时产生了:人们对彼此的信任越来越少，尤其是对陌生人。
这一现象会带来许多不好的结果。首先，人们的生活会缺失掉许多乐趣，因为他们变得一直很谨慎。更糟糕的是，由于人们不想帮助陌生人，做事的总体成本突然地上升了。最后，如果这一问题得不到合理解决，会对国民教育造成危害。
我们早就应该号召四面八方的努力，来正确地解决这一问题。一方面，**应该通过各方努力来创造一种和谐的社会氛围。另一方面，老师们应抓住每个机会来激发学生心中的感情和慷慨。最后，大众媒体也应该在恢复相互间的信任上发挥积极的作用。
不管这一问题是否是社会发展的必然结果，在这个社会转型的时代，我们找到一个满意的解决方法很重要。

作文是决定语文考试成绩的“半壁江山”，因此作文的成败往往决定了整个语文考试的成败。那么怎样让考试作文得高分呢?我觉得以下几点必须注意。
1、题和立意凡考试作文必须审题，原因是考生要在同一环境下，作公*的竞争。审题，就是要对试题展现的所有内容作全面、准确的审读和理解，把命题者的意图读出来，把题目的各种限制审清楚，明确要我写什么，怎么写，写到什么程度，真正做到全面领会，深刻把握，不偏不漏、不折不扣地按要求写作文。高考作文评判明确规定，凡审题有问题的试卷最后得分一般都不超过二类卷最低分。由此可见，审题的准确与否是作文成败的关键因素。立意，就是要作者站在时代的高度，去观察、认识生活，提炼主题，使主题体现时代的精神，既反映时代，也作用于时代，跳动时代的脉搏，推动着时代的前进。文章的“意”， 其实就是作者在体验生活中逐步孕育而成的一种思想，是作者的主观认识与客观实际相“撞击”的产物，它反映作者的思想水*、认识水*以及在社会生活中形成的世界观、人生观、价值观等。*两年的作文教改提倡学生写真实生活、真实自我，有些同学忽视了对文章思想倾向的把握，看问题不全面，观点偏激，更有甚者由腐败现象而怀疑党的领导和党的政策。尽管当今的中国社会政治清明，言论自由，话说错了不会追查什么政治问题，但作为未来社会的建设者，正确的是非观还是应该有的。这一点必须注意。
2、标题和段落标题是文章的眼睛，也是阅卷老师对文章的第一印象，特别是自拟题目写作，阅卷老师很看重考生所拟的标题。俗话说：“秧好一半谷，题好一半文”，可见题目的重要性。有些考生先写正文再拟标题，文章写好后也许是没有时间写标题，也许是忘了补写标题。虽然评分规定无标题扣2分，但实际结果却远非2分。有人曾做过这样的实验，将几篇写得较好的作文，按保留标题和隐去标题两种类型请两组老师分别予以阅卷，其分数差别一般都在5分以上。这是因为阅卷老师对无标题作文产生了一种心理距离，不知不觉便降低了分数等级。至于如何拟题，我觉得应做到这样几条：①确切。指符合文章内容，也指遣词造句符合规范)。②精练。指标题字数恰当。③生动。指题目能体现出一种活力，具有可读性，饶有情趣。④新颖。指有新视角、新思路、新感悟，能够给人一种新鲜感。⑤有意蕴。指有内在的含义。拟题方法多种多样，可以运用修辞拟题，可以引用俗语拟题，可以化用古语拟题，可以借用成语拟题，可以套用流行语拟题，也可以巧用其他学科公式或符号拟题等等，考生可以根据自己的情况灵活运用。段落：考试作文最忌首、腹、尾三段式的结构。把文章分为几段更好?千字以内的作文，我觉得分为5-8个自然段就可以了。因为自然段分得越自然，越显得你成熟老练。另外，要把每一段的'首句写好。每一段的首句犹如人的眉目，把首句写好，“眉清目秀”，整个段落都显着精神。
3、文体和内容高考作文试题对文体的要求有两类：一类是规定必须写某种文体，如“写一篇议论文”;另一类是排除写某种文体，如“除诗歌外，其他文体不限”。考生必须按规定的文体去写。*几年高考作文题中“文体不限”，让考生自由选择文体，这里要特别注意，文体不限不是不要文体，而是要你在选择了一种文体后，一定要按这种文体特点写作，要写什么象什么。不可随心所欲，写成不伦不类的“四不像”文章。文章内容方面：不假思索就能想到的东西，绝对不要写;稍加思索想到的也不要写;花上几分钟，想别人想不到的内容来写。记叙文最好将主人公设定为自己，用第一人称入文，让“我”的激情在文章中闪光，情真意切，引起共鸣。议论文切忌大话、套话、废话，要避免空发议论，无病**，滥提口号，乱发号召，空表决心等等。作文可以虚构，“允许”编写故事，但不等于提倡“编写故事”，编写故事要做到“大胆想象，自圆其说”。滥编、胡编，绝对不会得高分。
4、开头和结尾应试作文的开头结尾，就是文章的刀刃。*时在课内外所学的各种开头结尾的方法完全可以用在应试作文上。不管你使用什么方法开头和结尾，必须做到开头起笔入题，结尾点明主旨。为了给评卷老师一个好的印象，开头结尾千万不要涂抹。有道是：良好的开端是成功的一半。可有些考生犯“入题慢”的毛病：有的把大段的原材料全部照搬;有的把本来简洁的原材料进行扩展;有的开篇摆材料，古今中外，慢慢道来。开篇松散，占去了大量的篇幅，后面的真正应该说的内容却“千呼万唤不出来”，有的只是一笔带过，草草收兵，比例严重失调，使老师难以衡量其实际写作水*。古人写文章讲究“凤头”、“猪肚”、“豹尾”，这是有一定道理的。可有些考生作文来不及刹尾，或用一句话硬断，或点上一串省略号，这样即使你雕出了“凤头”，壮大了“猪肚”，也会因为没有“豹尾”而不成其好文章，得不到高分。阅卷老师衡量一篇文章的好坏，首先是看其整体。所以，考生交给老师的无论如何也应是一篇完整的作文。
5、语言和字数考试作文语言要规范准确，具有个性和活力。不要文白夹杂;不要使用别人看不懂的方言和词汇;少用长句多用短句;可引进部分时代新词汇，引用名言警句，引用流行的通俗歌曲歌词，引用百姓口头民谣，但取向一定要积极向上，真正让语言亮起来。照理说，文章是表情达意的工具，有话则长，无话则短，似乎不应有字数的限制。但考试作文，作为一种特殊形式的作文，为了达到一定的考查目的，并考虑到考试时间等因素，一般对字数都作了规定。我们必须按照规定去做。限最低字数的，一定要写够数量或稍微超过50―100字才好。如果字数不足，虽然评分标准规定，不足字数的，每少50字扣1分，但实际情况是，字数不足往往被认为文章内容单薄，分数很难上档次。限最高字数的，不要超过。否则，给人一种臃肿的感觉，再说，作文写得长，花的时间多，解答前面的题用的时间少，必定会受到影响。如果没有限最高字数，一般就是以作文纸为限，即要在作文纸格子内行文。千万不要自作多情，超出作文格子，以免出力不讨好。
6、书写和卷面*年高考作文评分标准中，书写都占相当的比分。一般不要求写得好看，但要求书写整齐易辨认，一笔一画清清楚楚，不写草字。标点符号书写也要规范，特别是格式要正确，句号、逗号、问号、叹号、顿号、分号不要出现在一行之首;引号、括号、书名号前半不出现在一行之末，可以在这些符号后面挤着写一个字;引号、括号、书名号后一半不出现在一行之首，可以把这些符号挤在上一行之末。省略号、破折号占两个格，不能断开，写不下时挤在一行之末。至于作文的卷面，正如人的容貌一样，给人的印象是重要的，尤其是高考作文，卷面整洁与否直接影响着阅卷老师的心理和情绪，书写工整，卷面清洁，让人一看心中先喜三分，其结果是可想而知的。
7、检查与修改考试作文试题和其他试题一样，做完后也需要认真检查，看有没有笔误的错别字，有没有不通顺的句子，有没有需要调整的内容。审查发现了错别字、错用了词语一定要修改过来，对于句段该删的要删掉，该增的要增补，只是要改得清楚、整洁，使人一目了然。不能因为修改而影响了卷面的整洁。

In the current world, college students become morally more tolerant to the phenomena such as examcheating, academic dishonesty and default on loans. In this case, it’ s urgently important that we conduct moral education in college.
Moral education is beneficial in the following aspects. To begin with, it makes us aware of our personal responsibility. We must com*** with social moral standards and learn to behave and conduct ourselves in society. Secondly, moral education teaches us to shun evil and do good, turning the uncivilized to the civilized. Thirdly, with higher moral standards, we will be more considerate towards others and avoid quarrels or conflicts, which contributes to maintaining a harmonious society.
As for how to conduct moral education in college, on one hand, theoretical moral education should be integrated into all aspects of campus life, including classroom teaching and extracurricular activities. On the other hand, we should encourage students to take part in moral practices such as volunteer activities. Through these measures, they will know better about the meaning of life and shoulder their social responsibilities.
Today, it seems that nearly everyone is studying English, especially students. But what do they study English for? A survey made by a teacher at a university gives us some hints.
The results of the survey suggest that students need English for different purposes. Most students learn English because they need to read English textbooks or journals or attend English lectures, while only a few students use it to talk to Englishspeaking visitors.attend seminars.and write letters, etc. There are also some differences between economics students and engineering students. Compared with engineering students, economics students need to read English business textbooks and write reports in English.
Therefore,from the result of the survey,we can see that the purposes students learn English for vary with the academic field students study in. Whatever the purposes are, one thing is certain: Students need English, and English teaching should be strengthened in universities.
【译文赏析】
学生为什么需要学*英文?
如今似乎人人都在学英文，尤其是学生。但他们为什么学英文呢? 一位大学老师所做的调查给了我们一些暗示。
该调查的结果表明，学生学*英文是出于不同的目的。大部分学生 学*英文是因为他们需要阅读英文教材或报刊、或听英文授课，而只有 小部分学生用它来与英语国家的来宾交流、参加研讨会、写信等等。财 经类的学生与工科学生十分不同。与工科学生相比，财经类的学生需要 读英文的财经教材，并用英文写报告。
因此，从调查结果可知，学生学*英语的目的随着他们专业的不同 而不同。但无论出于什么目的，有一点确定无疑：学生们需要英文，大学英语教学应有所加强。
In recent years, there are people in expanding numbers who have participated in the test for civil servants. Millions of students choose civil servant as their most ideal occupation after graduation. And among them, the high-educated, like masters and doctors, take quite a large percentage. The craze in civil servant test has attracted widespread attention.
The following fundamental causes can account for this kind of craze. First and foremost, nowadays college students face great employment pressure. Civil servant, as one of the most stable professions in today’s China, becomes their preferable choice. Moreover, recently, the welfare and salary of civil servants have been improved greatly, which undoubtedly attracts many people. Last but not least, the high social position of civil servants is a crucial factor drawing many people to take part in the civil servant test.
In my opinion, this craze in civil servant test will continue in the following years. However, from the long run, it does not do good to the development of our nation. If most high quality talents gather in the government departments, it might lead to a waste of resources. Accordingly, both the individuals and the government should have a more objective recognition of the civil servant test craze.
Can money buy happiness? Various people have various answers. Some people think that money is the source of happiness. With money, one can buy whatever he enjoys. With money, one can do whatever he likes. So, in their minds, money can bring comfort, security, and so on. Money, as they think, is the source of happiness.
But there are still a lot of others who think that money is the root of all evil. Money drives people to steal, to rob, and to break the law. A lot of people became criminals just because they were in search of money. And in the Western countries, there is nothing that can’t be bought by money. Many people lose their own lives when hunting it.
I think that money is essential to life and we cannot do without money. But even though money is necessary to life, it can’t buy happiness. Happiness is not something that can be measured by money. It is a state of mind. One can have plenty of money, with which he can buy whatever he wants, and at the same time he is not happy because he is never satisfied or he is troubled by various kinds of problems. Therefore, although money is necessary for a happy life, it can’t buy happiness.

As a famous saying goes,"Never go out there to see what happens,go out there to make something happen." Simple as the saying is,its meaning is profound and thought-provoking,which is meant to tell us that we are supposed to be creative instead of acting as the onlooker.
Conspicuous are the impacts of being creative and I would like to explore the following aspects.To begin with,it is to leading a team to make constant progress what water is to fish,which can be best illustrated by an example concerning an extraordinary basketball player,Yao Ming.Moreover,this kind of innovation also makes it possible for a nation to promote its international status and improve the comprehensive competitiveness.
From my perspective,keeping creative is so essential that adequate importance must be attached to it.Only when we literally realize the key role it plays can we become better selves in the foreseeable future.
In my memory,there are so many unforgettablemen who have rendered me assistance.Amongthem,the most impressive one is Lucy,myroommate.During the freshman year with her,it hasexerted considerable influence on me.
First and foremost,when I entered theuniversity,Lucy set good examples to me in terms ofindependence.She adapts the new environmentquickly.Moreover,she has a cheerful personality,and participates in the Students'Union soon .With her advice,I soon follow her step and joinmore activities.Last but not least,what I have learnt most from her is the self-study ability.She spends much time in reading and mastering a new language in the library and oftenrecommend me useful books and information.
In a word,I really appreciate it for her modeling power.I wish I can be excellent like herand have a great friendship with Lucy.
In recent years,there are people in expanding numbers who have participated in the test for civil servants.Millions of students choose civil servant as their most ideal occupation after graduation.And among them,the high-educated,like masters and doctors,take quite a large percentage.The craze in civil servant test has attracted widespread attention.

We often see there is a book,a bottle of water or something else on the desk in the classroom or library,indicating the seat is taken.This kind of phenomenon is very usual in almost all colleges and universities.Strangely enough,most of students seem to take this for granted,and few will protest it.
Though most of students'taking seats in advance is for better study,this kind of phenomenon has great negative effects.On the one hand,it is a selfish behavior,which damages other students'interests.Sometimes even if many students come to the classroom very early,they can not find a seat.On the other hand,reserving a seat violates the rule of fairness.No matter how late you come to class,the seat is still reserved for you even though many others are eager for that seat.
Considering the above-mentioned,I think,it is high time that we college students took a good look of our behavior.Indeed,only if all of us can improve our consciousness,it is not a difficult task for us to get rid of this kind of phenomenon"reserving a seat".
From the picture given above,we can observe that there are two young men using different ways to show admiration towards their role model.By writing"Beckham"on his face,the man on the left picture expresses his intense enthusiasm for Beckham.Meanwhile,to make himself resemble his idol,the man on the right picture spends 300 RMB making a Beckham’s hairstyle.
The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon that many adolescents admire their role models in an excessive and blind way.Quite a few reasons can account for this: for one thing,with the mass media spreading the positive image of superstars,young people can hardly resist the charm of them.They regard superstars as their examples and desire to be people like them.For another,youngsters'craze for superstars can also be attributed to the influence of the force of“group dynamics":when members of their social networks show great enthusiasm for some idols,young people are so easily influenced by their friends or classmates and then imitate the behavior they see.This could be a subtle form of peer pressure.
We cannot draw an absolute conclusion whether idol-worship is good or bad.Sim*** imitating role model’s dresses or behaviors,youngsters may lose themselves and it will definitely interfere with their personal life or studies.However，when learning idols'diligence,spirit and ambitions,young people can transform their worship towards idols into the passion for life,the stimulus to success and the driving force of struggling.Hence,whether idol worship is positive or negative is up to youngsters themselves.

At the picture depicts, a father told his son that he should read dee*** rather than merely pursue the quantity of reading materials. It reflects that people tend to browse and scan e-books without stopping to ponder even one question. The way we read is so superficial that it arouses great concern in modern life.
To be a better reader, we had better do as follows. For one thing, take notes about crucial details as we used to do. Taking notes can avoid the phenomenon that the more we read online or on smart phones, the less we seemed to memorize. For another, classics deserve to be savored by the contemporary people. For example, some classical novels can be read free on Kindle, which makes them popular among youngsters again. What's more, if we did not make summaries from time to time, nothing that we learnt from e-books would truly be ours.
In conclusion, when we enjoy digital reading, we should consciously conducts deep reading. Try our best to keep those good habits which are acquired in the process of paper reading, such as intensive reading and deep thinking.
As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students. Many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games. But as we see, some students lacking self-discipline are too much indulged in these games so that their health and academic performances are affected. This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.
However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful. They can train the ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly. Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science. More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.
From my point of view, online games are a wonderful entertainment if you play them in a clever way. When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once. But if you have enough self-control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.
A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors.Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents, for various reasons, missed the chance of obtaining a good education. When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless. Private tutoring is the only solution. As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil clearly.
However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages. For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupils’ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health. For another, some teachers, busy “shuttling” from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties. What’s more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test, offering the so-called tips for test-taking rather than help them acquire what is more meaningful.
Generally speaking, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of pupils’ potentials. Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up.
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.
In recent years, all kinds of electronic dictionaries and translation software have been developed. With the development of technology, these electronic dictionaries and software can help us translate not only words and phrases but even sentences and paragraphs. So some people come to the conclusion that machine translation will replace traditional human translation. However, I couldn’t agree with this argument.
Admittedly, translation machines and software bring much convenience for our study and our work. With them, we needn’t bother to leaf through the heavy dictionaries. However, machine translation has its disadvantages. First, generally speaking, translation software only can give direct translation, which is sometimes not in accordance with the original articles in logic and meaning. Second, some people depend on electronic dictionaries and software too much, which is unfavorable to their improvement in language ability.
Considering the above-mentioned, I think that machine translation cannot replace human translation, but it is a good

Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay. Suppose you have two options upon graduation: one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school. You are to make a choice between the two. Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
Facing the two options, I will choose to take a job in a company. There are mainly two reasons for my choice.
On one hand, I am eager to ap* what I’ve learned to practice since I have got so many years’ schooling. Moreover, I am somewhat tired of the “ivory tower” life and ready for the “real world” life, for I assume that I can learn more from getting in touch with society. On the other hand, my family needs my financial support, because my parents are getting older and older and making less and less. Though it doesn’t take much to pursue my further study, I cannot support my parents financially if I choose to go to a graduate school.
To sum up, to take a job in a company meets my desire of learning from practice and support my parents financially, which is a better choice for me.
【参考译文】
面对两个选择，我会选择去公司工作。作出这个选择，主要有两个原因。
一方面，因为接受了这么多年的学校教育，我急于把自己的所*用到实践中。另外，我有些厌倦象牙塔生活了，准备迎接现实生活，因为我认为从接触社会中会学到更多。另一方面，我的家庭需要我的经济支持吗，因为我的父母变得越来越老，挣得越来越少。虽然继续学业并不会花多少钱，但是如果我去读研究生我就不能从经济上支持我的父母。
总之，在公司工作，既满足我从实践中学*的愿望，也满足我从经济上支持我的父母的愿望，对我来说是一个更好的选择。

studying the english language in an english-speaking country is the best but not the only way to learn the language.do you agree or disagree with this statement?
learning english in an english speaking country has many advantages.it is,therefore,a good idea to learn english in britain or america.however,i believe it is not the only way to learn the language.
to begin with,most students in non-english-speaking countries learn english in high schools or universities.although their spoken english is not usually of a very high standard,their knowledge of grammar is often quite advanced.this is certainly useful when later they come to an english-speaking country to perfect the language.
however,it is obviously advantageous to learn english in english speaking countries where,every day,students will have ample chance to practise listening and speaking.in addition,students can experience the foreign culture,which greatly helps understand the language.this is especially true if they choose to live with an english or american family.still,since students are taught by native speakers,their reading and writing skills will improve as well.
as every coin has two sides,learning english at home also proves effective.at home students will have less stress and fewer problems in accommodation,expensive tuition and living costs.
in conclusion,it is preferable to study english in an english speaking country,but a reasonable level of english can be achieved at home,if a student is gifted and dedicated to study.
It has been said that when people succeed,it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with success.Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people,I must disagree with this statement.It cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in success.For example,many important discoveries have been made by accident.There have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device.
Furthermore,there is something to be said for sim* being in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity.And of course,there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success.
While the influence of luck cannot be ignored,this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard work.If one is willing to work hard,I believe that success will eventually be achieved,with or without the added benefit of luck.Moreover,hard work is often an essential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky encounter.If the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills,he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it comes along.Therefore,my suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you success.Instead,work hard and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity.

Everybody is good! My name is Chen, a sixth-grade student of Hongwei University in Fugou County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. Let me introduce myself to you.

Before, I was a tomboy who didn't like beauty. At that time, I like to run, like to jump, like to play with boys, so dress casually. If you dress well, you will be tied up and unhappy to play. For example, wearing long skirts and small shoes makes it difficult to run and jump around.
But one day, I changed. Now I can be angry with my gym teacher for beauty. The gym teacher won't let me wear heels, but I'm gonna wear them. For beauty, I can wear a miserable headband for a day.

When it used to rain, I used to run straight through the rain. Now when it rains, no matter how small the drizzle, I have to hold an umbrella or wear a raincoat and act like a little lady. Before there were mosquitoes, I was directly with the hand to beat it to death, and then trampled it to death with the sole of the shoe, and now found mosquitoes, I was carefully wrapped with paper towels to flush it into the sewer.
"My daughter has changed," she says. "The tomboy is gone."

From the chart above, we can definitely get a conclusion that the more you learned, the higher your salary would be. The figures in the chart denied the claim that knowledge is useless. However quite a few people still hold the opinion that a higher education does no good to a better job since that there are many university students who can not get an ideal job.
What I want to point out is that there is more than one factor that contributes to the failure of finding an ideal job for those who got a higher education. While those who failed to get a better education will hardly succeed in getting a good job because they didnt get the knowledge systematically and scientifically.
As the proverb goes like this, Knowledge is power. Education pays, sooner or later.
The conception of green consumption has gradually become popular in China. More and more green foods are making their appearance on the market and more and more
people are becoming conscious of environmental protection.
However, there still exist quite a few difficulties in the further promotion of green consumption. On the one hand, many people are still not quite clear of the advantages of green foods. On the other hand, due to high profits, many fake green foods are found in the
market. Moreover, many consumers don’t want to pay extra money for green foods.
There may be several ways to solve these problems. Firstly, the government should supervise the good quality strictly to protect consumers’ interests. Secondly, the conception of green consumption should be further promoted and emphasized. Thirdly, the government should work together with manufacturers to make the price more reasonable.
绿色消费的概念在中国已逐渐成为流行。越来越多的绿色食品市场上出现了越来越多
人们越来越意识到环境保护。
然而,仍然存在不少困难,进一步促进绿色消费。一方面,许多人仍不太清楚绿色食品的.优点。另一方面,由于高额利润,许多假的绿色食品中发现的

可能有几种方法来解决这些问题。首先,**应严格监督质量来保护消费者的利益。其次,绿色消费的概念应进一步提升和强调。第三,**应与制造商共同努力,使价格更加合理。
A test of spoken English has been included as an optional component of College English Test (CET). Some people argue that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because we have been informed frequently that a Chinese student who has been learning English for over ten years cannot even communicate with a native speaker. A test of spoken English will bring the college students an awareness of the importance of oral English, and will thus help them with their communicating skills.
On the other hand, some others still maintain that a good command of reading and writing skills will be enough for the English learners. To some extent their opinion derives from the fact that students are already under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden.
In my opinion, a test of spoken English does more good than harm. Since China will continue its policy of opening and reform, the ability to speak English fluently is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the test or not, I shall spare no efforts to practice oral English in the remaining years of my college study.

The Internet
In the era of information and technology, the Internet plays an important role in our society. However, people’s opinions are still divided on this point. Those who are in favor of the Internet claim that it has a lot of advantages. Firstly, information searching is no longer a tough job with the help of all kinds of search engines. Secondly, we can contact friends or business partners via e-mails or software such as Internet Meeting and Yahoo Messenger.
Those who are opposed to the Internet hold that its disadvantages are numerous. In the first place, using the Internet costs considerable time, money and energy, especially for those with poor self-control. In the second place, increasing young people are indulged in online games and unhealthy information, which are extremely harmful to their development.
In my opinion, its pros outweigh the cons. The past twenty years have witnessed the fast development of the Internet along with the national economy. A brighter future is awaiting us if we make good use of the Internet.
