专八作文范文 第一篇

Nowadays, food has bee easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

The twentieth century has brought with it many advances. With those advances, human lives have changed dramatically. In some ways life is worse, but mostly it is better. Changes in food preparation methods, for example, have improved our lives greatly.

The convenience of preparing food today is amazing. Even stoves have gotten too slow for us. Microwave cooking is much easier. We can press a few buttons and a meal is pletely cooked in just a short time. People used to spend hours preparing an oven-cooked meal, and now they can use that time for other, better things. Plus, there are all kinds of portable, prepackaged foods we can buy. Heat them in the office microwave, and lunch at work is quick and easy.

Food preparation today allows for more variety. With refrigerators and freezers, we can preserve a lot of different foods in our homes. Since technology makes cooking so much faster, people are willing to make several dishes for even a small meal. Parents are more likely to let children be picky, now that they can easily heat them up some prepackaged macaroni and cheese on the side. Needless to say, adults living in the same house may have very different eating habits as well. If they don’t want to cook a lot of different dishes, it’s mon now to eat out at restaurants several times a week.

Healthful eating is also easier than ever now. When people cook, they use new fat substitutes and cooking sprays to cut fat and calories. This reduces the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol. Additionally, we can buy fruits and vegetable fresh, frozen or canned. They are easy to prepare, so many of us eat more of those nutritious items daily. A hundred years ago, you couldn’t imagine the process of taking some frozen fruit and ice from the freezer, adding some low-fat yogurt from a plastic cup and some juice from a can in the refrigerator, and whipping up a low-fat smoothie in the blender!

Our lifestyle is fast, but people still like good food. What new food preparation technology has given us is more choices. Today, we can prepare food that is more convenient, healthier, and of greater variety than ever before in history.

专八作文范文 第二篇

第一部分讲座(Mim-lecture)历来是最为复杂的听力测试项目，是考生的难点所在，将其放在听力考试第一部分更增加了考生的紧张度，必须保持良好的心态和过硬的综合素质才可以轻松应答。

1. 听前——稳定情绪，放松心情

讲座部分的一大难点就是考生在听前没有任何可参看的试题信息， 考生不能根据试题预测听力材料的内容，而是要完全依靠听音时捕捉信 息，记录细节，以此为依据来答题。在这种情况下，考生的心理压力可想 而知，但听力的效果很大程度上取决于考生是否有一个良好的心态。因 此，在听音前，对自己的紧张情绪做适当调整，是本部分听力成功的第一 步。

2. 听中——手耳并用，捕捉主旨细节

1) 抓主旨

根据讲座结构上的特点可知，开头部分往往会对全文的主题和分 述的要点加以说明，即使不是第一句，也会是紧随其后的几句，因 此要格外留意。

2) 抓关键词

由设题的特点可知，考点主要集中在主题、分论点或结论句中出现 的关键性名词、动词和形容词等，或对某一事物特点的描述以及分 述各点时的细节描述性词汇。这些关键词都是基于整个问题要点 及其重要细节的实词(即除去介词、连词、冠词、语气词等虚词)。

另外，各类表顺承、因果等关系的逻辑词，可提示文章的具体细节，帮 助考生把握文章的整体走向，考生在听的过程中要对这类词格外注意。

3) 注意讲话人的语音、语调

从听力材料中讲话人的语调与重音中能很大程度上推测出其心理 活动、观点以及态度，可以说，语调和重音是暴露考点的关键线索。 通常升调表示疑问、怀疑或者观点还未表述完;而降调则表示肯定 以及对观点阐述的完成。

4) 以提纲为基础，适当记录

5) 顾全大局，不纠缠于部分难懂细节

3. 听后——综合考虑，准确填写

第二部分会话(Conversation or Interview)

1.听前——速读题干.把握主题

听力会话部分有五道多选题.会活录音播放前会有一小段答题指令，考生对此一般都很熟悉，可以利用这段时间快速预览一下该部分的五个 问题，做到在听录音前对所听内容有一个方向性的认识，明确听的目的与 方向，在很尺程度上会帮助答题。

2.听中——抓大放小.理解大意

3.听后——注意同义转述项.谨慎敌答

第三部分 新闻听力

1. 听前仔细审题是关键

在新闻部分，每条新闻短小精悍，可供推理的语境较差，且语速较快， 因此首先要对试题进行快速预览，对新闻内容进行推断。

2. 听中——获取细节是重点

新闻试题选项偏短，考査重点往往都是数字、地名、人名等具体的细 节，所以要特别注意。

3. 听后——迅速作答，准备下一篇

每篇新闻听力之后有10秒的时间答题，所以要果断迅速作答。

A Factory near the Neighborhood

Having a factory near where one lives brings with it both advantages and disadvantages. An obvious advantage is an increase in the number of available jobs, and many people in the community might find employment in the new factory. The factory would bring money into the community in other ways as well. It would have to pay some taxes to the local government, and workers might go shopping or eat at a restaurant in the area before or after their shifts.

However, the factory would bring some disadvantages, too. Depending on what kind of factory it is, it might pollute the environment and bring down property values. It would be sure to increase traffic in the area, causing congestion and making it unsafe for children to play outside. Finally, the neighborhood would become a noisy, busy place. For all of these reasons, I would be opposed to the construction of a new factory near my community. While the employment opportunities would help the community, I believe it would be better for residents to commute to work and preserve the peace of our neighborhood.

*的礼仪文化

Throughout most of China’s long history,therelationships between people were based on carefullyprescribed forms of behavior,that is, and following etiquette is soimportant that people are always judged by howclosely they follow these rules of thosewho do not follow those prescribed rules of conduct,they are regarded as .

However,as China has been increasingly entangled in the global village,many Chinese people,especially the young,have lost some traditions because of the influences of Western to a famous professor,the majority of Chinese college students have not hadsystematic training on traditional Chinese etiquette. As for me, traditional etiquette shouldbe taught in class.

Firstly, if college students can receive a systematic education in traditional etiquette inclass,they can get more prepared for the future. As is known,college students usually havelearnt some traditional etiquette through daily interaction with friends and relatives,but theprocess is time-consuming. They have to be sensitive enough to observe other people’sbehaviors and then know what proper behaviors in different social situations are. Sometimesthe learning process is by trial and error. They can only form right behaviors after breaking therules of conduct and being corrected by the costly consequence. If they have already taken asystematic etiquette course in college,they can follow proper etiquette and have a moreguaranteed future.

Secondly, as these meticulous rules of conduct have been formed throughout Chinesehistory,they are unique Chinese characteristics and are inseparable to Chinese advent of globalization ,western culture is so influential that many young people often lookto Western customs and etiquette as being fashionable. For example, nowadays most youngwomen in China would like to wear western-style white dresses and veils at wedding whiletraditional Chinese weddings feature red gowns for brides and white is an absolute taboo. Inthe long term,if the trend to adopt western etiquette can not be curbed,the Chinesegenerations in the future will lose their cultural identity.

Furthermore, the extinction of Chinese etiquette will be to the detriment of the diversity ofglobal culture. To some extent,the course can serve to arouse college students’ cultural prideand help to preserve and further develop Chinese conclusion,taking traditionalChinese etiquette in college will not only make graduates more prepared for their future,butalso can constitute an important measure for college studentsto form Chinese culturalidentity and therefore to preserve Chinese tradition and further develop it.

Faced with the question whether it is worthwhile to spend a year or two voluntee?ring in western China, many college students would probably shake their heads, seeing it as a waste of valuable learning time. However, I will give an affirmative answer without hesitation, because this experience can apparently benefit us in many ways.

First, it is a great opportunity for us to ap* the knowledge we have acquired at college. Different from temporary part-time jobs, a longer volunteer work experience is truly fulfilling and rewarding. As English majors, we can learn to use and teach the language effectively in real classes; as education majors, we can experiment with those textbook theories in helping manage a school or instruct the younger; those who study engineering can take this chance to turn their ideas and skills into running machines, new bridges and broad roads. From this experience, we will better understand our schoolwork and even build up considerable expertise in our chosen fields.

Second, we can gain a great sense of satisfaction by making contributions in an underdeveloped region. Right now, the western China is suffering from both the short?age of resources and that of talents in its course of development. If we can step into the needed roles by sim* sacrificing a year or two, we will be able to make some differ?ence to the situation as a whole. Imagine how proud you will be when telling your fami?ly and friends how you have taught the illiterate to read, and how you have helped to change the look of a backward town. Compared with the great sense of pride you feel, a year's time is just a small price to pay.

Third，we can establish a deep friendship with local people. On the one hand, if you truly love and help the people you work with, they naturally love and help you back. Take a senior I know for example, who served two months as a teacher in a dry northwestern town. During the period of water shortage, both his students and their parents voluntarily kept water for him, sometimes despite their own need. Recalling his days there, he said they were not easy but he could not help missing them. Probably many volunteers would feel the same as him. While we are giving care, support and help, we often get back more including a lasting friendship.

Therefore，I will readily sign up to volunteer in the western China despite various challenges I may meet. Think of the differences we can make there and the changes this experience can make to us, why not walk out of the ivory tower and step onto the promising land of our country?

Is a sound social environment necessary for people to be good to others

Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture, but nowadays many people dare not offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble. The issue has aroused public debate over the climate of morality and credibility, and many people sigh over the moral degeneration. In my opinion, while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, each individual should try his or her best to do good deeds and be sympathetic with others, instead of waiting for the environment to improve.

There is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions, so people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits. some people even wonder, ‘Is our society hostile to good people?’ The question may sound ridiculous but many people apparently think so. They believe that our current society provides a bad environment for good people doing good things, and good people pay a high price for being compassionate. In fact, such kind of things only accounts for a pretty small percentage, but massive media coverage makes the situation seem serious. Actually, most people around me are kind, warm-hearted and helpful, and I am quite delighted in their company. So I believe media should pay more attention to publicizing good people and exemplary deeds to enhance our confidence, rather than exposing disgusting behaviors.

At the same time, as John Donne puts it, “No man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” Since everyone of us is a component of the society, it is each individual’s conducts that form social morality. Just imagine it is you who need help, what would you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously? So, put yourself in other’s position and be sympathetic. If we do nothing but wait for the environment to improve, nothing will happen. Only by removing the fence around our kind consciousness can we reverse the regress of social ethics, and make our world full of warmth and happiness. Therefore, if help is needed, never hesitate to lend a helping hand. It will make you happy and feel better about life.

In sum, I contend the idea that while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, it is each individual’s responsibility to offer help to those in need, and together we build up a more harmonious society.

专八作文范文 第八篇

Although Chinese people have gradually become wealthy more or less due to the reform andopening-up policy，they have oftentimes been troubled by a lack of friends that they can takeinto their confidence. Thisobservation manifests itself most vividly in a line cited from You Are the One，that is，“Ido not lack money but friends”.Ironically，in the cellphone contact list of an average person，the number of cell phone numbers may reach a coupleof can not help wondering if modern people become lonelier ，I hold the opinion that modern people do become lonelier than before.

由于改革开放政策的实施，中国人民变得比以往更加富有，但是，有时他们也会因为缺少朋友而困扰，朋友能够为他们带来自信。我们能从电影台词中清晰可见。电影非诚勿扰中有一句台词：“我不缺钱，只缺朋友。”具有讽刺意味的是，在人们的电话薄中，我们存储了上百个电话号码。人们不禁会想现代人是否比以往更加孤单。我认为，现代人比以往更加孤单。

Firstly，due to the urbanizing process at an unprecedented speed，the society became moremobile，for more and more people migrate from one city to another to seek in cities are consisted of migrate workers from rural areas，college graduates in pursuitof their dreams， businessmen across the country and the local. Given the fact that peoplefrom different regions have different subcultures，people tend to reject people with ，as people are more interested in making money， they are more likelyto conflict in wonder that circle of confidants has shrunk dramatically and thenumber of people with whom to discuss important matters has spirally increased.

首先，由于城市化进程的飞速发展，社会就像是一种移动的团体，为了挣钱，越来越多的人从一座城市迁移到另一座城市。如今，城市有许多从农村来的农民工，以及那些追寻梦想的大学毕业生，来自当地和其他国家的商人。由于人们来自不同的地区，有着不一样的次文化，人们往往会由于背景的不同而相互排斥。此外，人们对挣钱的欲望越来越大，他们更有可能因为利益而发生争执。难怪人们的朋友正在急剧减少，与他人谈论重大事宜的人却越来越多。

Secondly，while people are able to benefit from the advancement of new technologies， theyare likely to depend more upon technologies instead of friends. Communication technologiessuch as the Internet and phones let people stay in contact with other people who are fromremote areas， and spend time on the phone and the Internet communications instead ofdealing with people face to face. Network games have gained their popularity to such anextent that many spend most of their spare time in playing network games and hencetheybecome apathetic to have a good time with friends face to face. That face time seems morelikely to develop friendships.

As a result，the reduced face time would translate into a loose network between ，urbanization has reduced the intimacy between human beings and makes them lesslikely to make friends than in the past and the advancement of modern technology also makespeople more apathetic by reducing face-to-face contact with hope people canregain the intimacy between friends as before.

所以，面对面交流的减少将会导致朋友之间的疏远。总结，城市化减少了人与人之间的亲密感，比起以往，人们交朋友的可能性正在降低，由于技术的不断发展，人们对于面对面交流更加冷漠。我希望人们之间的关系能够像从前那样亲密。

专八作文范文 第九篇

Some people like to eat out at food stands and restaurants, while others like to prepare food at home. Often it depends on the kind of lifestyle people have. Those with very busy jobs outside the house don’t always have time to cook. They like the convenience of eating out. Overall, though, it is cheaper and healthier to eat at home. While eating in restaurants is fast, the money you spendcan add up. When I have dinner at restaurant with a friend, the bill is usually over twenty dollars. I can buy a lot of groceries with that much money. Even lunch at a fast-food stand usually costs five or six dollars for one person. That’s enough to feed the whole family at home.

Eating at home is better for you, too. Meals at restaurants are often high in fat and calories, and they serve big plates of food--much more food than you need to eat at one meal. If you cook food at home, you have more control over the ingredients. You can use margarine instead of butter on your potatoes, or not put so much cheese on top of your pizza. At home, you can control your portion size. You can serve yourself as little as you want. In a restaurant, you may eat a full plate of food xxxbecause you paid for itxxx. It’s true that eating out is convenient. You don’t have to shop, or cook, or clean up. But real home cooking doesn’t have to take a lot of time. There are lots of simple meals that don’t take long to make. In fact, they’re faster than eating out, especially if you think of the time you spenddriving to a restaurant, parking, waiting for a table, waiting for service, and driving home.

Both eating at restaurants and cooking at home can be satisfying. Both can taste good and be enjoyed with family and friends. I prefer cooking at home because of the money and health issues, but people will make the choice that fits their lifestyle best.

Although the grand ceremony of Oscar was over this year, the attention and discussion linger in the Chinese movie munity and out. Some insiders hold that following global trends is the only way to develop China’s film industry. Others insist, however, that the Oscars are sim* one the many awards that Americans like to crown themselves. Domestic films should maintain their distinct flavors. As a movie fan myself, I think we should strive for it to gain international recognition.

Firstly, the Oscars Award is an international recognition in terms of both artistic performance and box office revenue. With live broadcast in 50 languages, it plays a huge role in shaping the global film industry. It is no wonder that so many people around the world pay much attention to it. The reality is that Hollywood movies account for more than 90 percent of global market shares-this has inevitable worldwide impact. Obviously, the Oscars Award has bee something that we can not afford to ignore it.

Moreover, we live in a global, multicultural world where different cultures interact. China’s movie industry needs to realize it and sharpen its petitive edge. If Chinese films are to make a global impact, then movie production, distribution and marketing organization need improving. Chinese films should adjust to satisfy the variety of social demands. The introduction of foreign successful formulas and technology is a must for Chinese film industry. It is parochial to think that China can only use its national characteristics to define domestic movies. Conservatism will hinder the progress of film industry. If China does not develop its film industry through embracing innovative multiculturalism, Chinese movies will have little opportunity to gain a share in the international market.

Last but not least, the Hollywood films also conform to specific cultural demands. Take this year’s Academy Awards as an example, nominated movies include both high-cost productions like The Lord of the Rings and subtle, more moderate budgeted projects like Lost in Translation, these films suggest that Hollywood movies maintain a basic balance in keeping the style of its own and absorbing diverse cultures. Hence, the Chinese filmmakers should spare no efforts to present original domestic films to foreign viewers. We will be left behind if we stick to the so-called orthodox. For instance, Couching Tiger Hidden Dragon was acted by Chinese actors and through cultural icons, but actually its style and structure of the movie all conform to a Hollywood formula. This partly explains why it appeals to a wider range of audiences from different cultural background.

In a word, the Oscars are very important to Chinese filmmakers. Nominations are a kind of approval by international peers of their achievements. As China’s market improves, its movie industry will get stronger and will eventually cash in on the Oscars.

The Role of Luck in Success

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 simply 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.

Nuclear Technology: Benecial or Disastrous?

One question that has caused a great deal of controversy over the years is nuclear technology. Although it offers a number of advantages in world peace and green power, it is also a dangerous technology. Nuclear weapons pose the greatest threat to life. Even the use of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes also carries some serious risks. In this essay, however, I intend to show how the benets of such technology counterbalance its disadvantages.

The opponents of nuclear power generally base their arguments on the danger it presents to the world. There are two main dangers: the risk of nuclear warfare and the nuclear disasters. The danger of nuclear war is obvious and if one thinks about Chernobyl, it is easy to understand why people are worried about nuclear power, as it can cause major suffering.

There are, however, good reasons for believing that nuclear technology is generally advantageous. The first of these is that there has not been a major world conflict since the invention of nuclear weapons. Although nuclear weapons have enlarged the mechanism of war by threatening to kill more people more secretly and more horribly than those of the past, it is generally agreed that such weapons should be the last thing to be thought of as a means to win a war because there would be no winner in any nuclear conflict. If anything goes wrong, the scale of destruction on human lives and civilization is beyond imagination. The nightmare of Hiroshima is a vivid memory, so nuclear weapons hidden in stock somewhere serve to maintain world peace by theory of counter-attack .

The other most significant benefit relates to the environment. Perhaps the greatest danger facing our world today is a combination of global warming and the greenhouse effect. This danger is caused partly by burning fossil fuel, which leads to our polluted atmosphere. Nuclear power, however, is a much greener alternative which does not have such negative effects.

Already power plants have been in operation in a number of countries. These are successful examples to be followed. All in all, although it is true that nuclear weapons pose the greatest threat to life, the use of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes is really bene cial. In all appearances, the fear of war is overcome by the need for economic development.

Are dialects just as acceptable in public places?

China’s State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) recently issued a notice banning domestic radio and TV stations from translating foreign radio and TV programmes into any local dialect. The notice said that such dialect translation contradicts the national initiative to promote Putonghua, or Mandarin, around the country. Foreign programmes that have been translated into dialects must be removed from television and radio immediately. The notice evoked a mixed response from experts and audio and video producers, as well as the general public. Many voiced their concerns that local dialects would be fornidden in public places. Mandarian, which means xxxcommon languagexxx, is the country’s predominant language and is widely used by more than 70 percent of the population. However, local dialects still enjoy popularity for relatively less-educated people in some occasions. The dialects do make unique role and should be tolerated for existence in public places. Though promoted widely in public places, dialects are acceptable in public places. First, it is more than a mere tool for communication. It is, most importantly, the messenger of its respective culture. If the dialect was eliminated from daily use, the culture will be broken. Second, Mandarian can absorb the elite part of local dialect to enrich its vocabulary and usage. This is the perfection of Mandartian from thousands of years blend and contact. The dialects can also be popular in the public. Along with the famous short play by comic actors in NE China, the local dialect came into the spotlight, and enjoyed more popularity throughout China. Such a cultural phenomenon represents the audience an attitude to local dialects which cater to the taste of the majority. Third, dialect is the only mean of communication to some undereducated local people. If local dialects are forbidden in the public places, they can not sum up, local dialects should be tolerated in public places for its unique role which Mandarian can not substitute. We should guartee its survival because dialects stand for our spiritual land. From a long-term perspective, dialects should not and would not be wiped out. There is no need for any purposeful and deliberate attempt to protect dialects. Just let dialects take their natural course. The best way to protect a dialect is to use it in daily life and pass it down from generation to generation.

A Major Advantage/Disadvantage of the Information Age

As everyone knows, the information age has brought us countless benefits, but when it comes to its major advantage, people may hold different views. As for me, the major advantage of the Information Age is that it makes it easy for individuals to have instant access to all kinds of information. In the past, for instance, if a student was meant to compose a thesis, he was supposed to bury himself in piles of books in the library, and probably after several days’ or even several months’ searching, he still could not find the materials he wanted. But now it is a totally different story. The advanced techniques of the information age have spared us all those troubles. What we need to do is just sit in front of the com*r and search for our target information on the Internet rather than struggle painfully in numerous books. More excitingly, we don’t have to waste several days or even months waiting. Usually the information we need will be transferred to us in seconds. The information age can not only bring convenience to students in searching of materials, but also help people in all walks of life, save their energy and enhance their efficiency. Now since we’re in an economy based around the manipulation of information, I have every reason to believe that this advantage of the information age will play an even greater role in the future.

Campus politics has improved the quality of students’ life on campus and is playing an important role in college life. While we may advocate it because of the benefits,we cannot ignore its problems.

On the positive side ,college students will grow mature and develop their abilities from participation in campus politics. For one thing,by attending campus political activities,students will learn how to handle relationships with all sides in a more mature way,which will better prepare them for life after graduation. For another,they can develop their sense of responsibility as well as practical capabilities,especially management and coordination capacity,because the campus political activities provide students with a stage to show themselves and bring their abilities into full play.

On the negative side,campus politics might bring some problems. Too much participation in campus politics might influence study. Besides,some students’ being keen on campus politics is for fame and gain,which is harmful to the healthy development of mentality . Therefore,schools and teachers should give necessary instructions to students on their participation in campus politics.

All in all,we cannot deny the benets campus politics brings to college students,but we should also be aware of the potential danger it may hold for them as well. With necessary guidance,campus politics can be a good stage for students to grow.

The last several decades have seen a decline in parental influence on their children. In fact,it seems that the more children watch movies and television and get influenced by people outside the home,the more their parents lose control over them. Nowadays,children and teens are often searching for role models other than their parents to imitate.

They naturally look to celebrities like singers,movie stars,and athletes to be their guides. For example,many high school students like to dress in the latest fashions that have been made popular by various celebrities. They even cut their hair like famous people or say the same things as them. Parents sim* cannot complete with these stars when it comes to influencing their children.

Many television shows,movies,and video games have high levels of violent content and bad language,which greatly influence young people watching them. Children have begun acting badly based upon what they have seen on various media.

My younger cousin got in trouble at school for kicking some other students. When asked why he did it, he responded that he had been imitating his favorite cartoon character. He had seen this behavior and decided to act similarly. His parents had enormous difficulties getting him to stop. This showed me that TV shows can be more influential than parents. Finally, young people often feel like they have nothing in common with their parents, so their parents influence in their live decreases.

Young people think their parents do. For example, many parents are not as proficient as their children are at using modern technology. They might not even know how to surf the Internet or use an MP3 player. This gap in knowledge makes it very hard for them to find common ground with their parents. In conclusion, modern media and the world of technology have much stronger influences on young people than their parents do. As young people get more absorbed in television, movies celebrities, and their friends, parents should expect to continue losing more control over their believe that outside influences have stronger effects on young people than their parents do. This, however, is a mistaken belief.

Faced with the question whether it is worthwhile to spend a year or two voluntee?ring in western China, many college students would probably shake their heads, seeing it as a waste of valuable learning time. However, I will give an affirmative answer without hesitation, because this experience can apparently benefit us in many ways.

First, it is a great opportunity for us to apply the knowledge we have acquired at college. Different from temporary part-time jobs, a longer volunteer work experience is truly fulfilling and rewarding. As English majors, we can learn to use and teach the language effectively in real classes; as education majors, we can experiment with those textbook theories in helping manage a school or instruct the younger; those who study engineering can take this chance to turn their ideas and skills into running machines, new bridges and broad roads. From this experience, we will better understand our schoolwork and even build up considerable expertise in our chosen fields.

Second, we can gain a great sense of satisfaction by making contributions in an underdeveloped region. Right now, the western China is suffering from both the short?age of resources and that of talents in its course of development. If we can step into the needed roles by simply sacrificing a year or two, we will be able to make some differ?ence to the situation as a whole. Imagine how proud you will be when telling your fami?ly and friends how you have taught the illiterate to read, and how you have helped to change the look of a backward town. Compared with the great sense of pride you feel, a year's time is just a small price to pay.

Third，we can establish a deep friendship with local people. On the one hand, if you truly love and help the people you work with, they naturally love and help you back. Take a senior I know for example, who served two months as a teacher in a dry northwestern town. During the period of water shortage, both his students and their parents voluntarily kept water for him, sometimes despite their own need. Recalling his days there, he said they were not easy but he could not help missing them. Probably many volunteers would feel the same as him. While we are giving care, support and help, we often get back more including a lasting friendship.

Therefore，I will readily sign up to volunteer in the western China despite various challenges I may meet. Think of the differences we can make there and the changes this experience can make to us, why not walk out of the ivory tower and step onto the promising land of our country?

What Kind Of Life To Live-Realistic Or Romantic?

There has always been an argument between the young and the old about what kind of life to live-realistic or romantic. Young people tend to think real think that real lofe is as dramatic and fascimating as it is in the novels and movies while more experiened adults think this na?ve daydream is certain to be broken by later experiences and everyone should learn to get used to the dull routine of his everydy life.

However, there are some inadequacies in the opinions on the part of both sides. Life will be unimaginable if everything we do is only for realistic purpose, and the same is true if what we do everyday is just to enjoy ourselves. So it’s not difficult for us to see that neither way can ensure a happy life.

In my opinion, a real happy life can never be separated from either of the two ways. On the one hand, let’s enjoy life-enjoy the excitement of sports. On the other, let’s not forget our work. Happy life can never go without hard work.

Laozihao is not only the commercial phenomenon, but also the history in miniature. It is popular for its unique arts and crafts. However, some of these enterprises have become outdated or are operating in red dueto a rigid conventional thinking, loose management or have different opinions about whether the Laozihao should be preserved or not. As far as I’m concerned, the critical point is not only toremain but also to preserve and develop the Laozihao. Laozihao is important to the traditional culture andthe national commerce. As a time-honored brand, Laozihao enjoys the extensive reputation in the society. It is of golden opinion, and carries the trust of the customers. Moreover, it is the precise non-material cultural heritage. The city without Laozihao will lose the unique scene as a famous historic city.

In the market-oriented economic society, Laozihao satisfies the emotional need of people for the national it cannot be denied that now Laozihao are paying their way. Affected by the market-oriented economy, Laozihao are taking the shine off. The out-dated concepts, old-fashioned products and backward management are all the factors for the fall of Laozihao. As for the fact, we should not only remain the Laozihao, but also have to preserve and develop it.

First, the support system of Laozihao should be built up. The advanced technology, automatic intellectual property rights and modern organization are key points in the development of Laozihao. On the basis of keeping its traditional features, it should work out new products, which are more suitable for the modern society, so as to extend the market share. Second, Laozihao should have the priority in the policy and finance. It is the most important embodiment of a historic city. So In the urban planning, the original locationshould be preserved. And the government would finance them to improve their technology and equipments. Third, it is suggested that Laozihao should be preserved as the intangible assets of the country. In this way, Laozihao will do good to the cultural landscape as well as develop its own commercial function.

In conclusion, Laozihao is the carrier of the traditional culture and arts. It’s a symbol of the nationalhistory. We should preserve it and use effective ways to develop it. It is not only the demand of the market, but also the requirement of the culture.

China’s economy is not immune to the influence of the global economic crisis. As China’seconomy is heavily dependent on global trade and investment flows, the global economicslowdown has already had a negative impact on China’s export sector and industries. Thereare some observations that our economy is alreadyslowing down. In response, many scholarscall on Chinese people to spend more money to create domestic demands in various magazinesand newspapers. They even equal consumption with being patriotic. In my point ofview, weshould hold the strings of purse tight, instead of spending more.

中国经济受到了全球经济危机的影响。由于中国非常依赖全球贸易和投资，全球经济的下滑已经对中国的出口市场和产业造成了严重的影响。人们观察到中国经济已经有所下滑。所以，在各种杂志和报纸上，我们看见学者呼吁中国人用消费来创造国内需求。他们甚至把消费和爱国划等号。我认为，我们应该勒紧裤腰带，而不是大把花钱。

Firstly, as even some economic big shots acknowledge that they can not see the bottom of theglobal economic crisis, we should get prepared by holding the strings of our purse tight incase that the crisis lasts longer than anticipated. In terms of traditions, Chinese people haveformed the habit of saving money for long-term consideration. While many foreigners accuseChinese of being conservative, it is time-honored wisdom to save money for emergencies inthe future.

首先，甚至有许多经济学家都承认他们还没有看到全球经济危机的谷底。我们应该勒紧裤腰带，以防经济危机持续蔓延。从传统上来说，中国人已经习惯了存钱。然而，许多外国人都认为中国人保守，省钱救急是传统智慧的一种表现。

As a matter of fact, many foreign countries are characterized by their advanced welfaresystems, so that they can still make their needs meet in times of crisis. In China, while weadmit that the government has made progress in the establishment of social securitysystems, there are still many members of our society that are not included in social securitysystems. Therefore, it is impractical to call on those excluded members of the social securitysystems to spend more money.

事实上，国外许多国家都有着先进的福利系统，所以，遇到危机时，国家依然能够满足民众的需求。在中国，国家在制定社会保障制度方面取得了巨大的成功，但是，许多民众还没有列入到社会保障制度之中。所以，让这些民众花钱是不现实的。

Secondly, though Chinese people earn more money than before in the aggregate, themajority of us still do not amass enough wealth to live a guaranteed life. According to thelatest release of national incomes, urban citizens earn a per capita income of 15, 781 yuanwhile people in the rural areas earn only 4, 761 yuan. However, we must bear in mind thatwealth amassed by relatively limited number of millionaires and billionaires contribute a largeshare of the per capita income growth. Many people in the rural areas and those laid-off andunemployed workers can not even earn an average income. I think everyone wants to live aluxurious life, but without enough money how can they make it?

第二，尽管中国人比从前挣得多了，但是，绝大部分人还没有真正富有起来。根据最新的国家收入，城市居民的人均收入是1万5781元，而农村居民的收入只有4761元。但是，我们需要记住的是那些为数不多的百万富翁和千万富翁贡献了人均收入增长的绝大部分。许多农村居民以及失业工人都达不到平均收入水平。我认为每个人都想过上富裕的生活，但是这些都是需要金钱来实现的。

To sum up, in a time of economic slowdown, we should hold the strings of our purse tight sothat we can tide ourselves over in case of it is impractical to call on spendingmore when China is still a developing country. As an alternative, I think we can boycottexports of foreign goods so that we can still create domestic demands.

总结，在经济减缓期间，我们应该勒紧裤腰带，这样我们才能以防危机的发生。中国还是发展中国家，呼吁民众大把花钱是不切合实际的。我认为我们能够抵制外货，这样我们才能创造国内需求。

Going to class also teaches students responsibility and discipline. Having to be at a particular place at a particular time prepares them for getting a job. Being at a place on time with an assignment completed prepares them for a career.

In short, by going to class students learn more than just information from the teacher. They also learn how to learn, how to work with others, and how to work responsibly. These are not optional skills in life, so attending classes should not be optional in college.

Clear Your Mental Space

Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion-like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?

The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.

Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute---but only one minute---to do nothing else but feel that emotion.

When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I wiling to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”

Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really fell it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.

If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.

When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.

This exercise seems simple---almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.

Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens. Keep a piece of paper with you that says the following:

Stop. Immerse for one minute. Do I want to keep this negativity? Breath deep, exhale, release. Move on!

This will remind you of the steps to the process. Remember; take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion. Then, when you feel you’ve felt it enough, release it---really let go of it. You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!

As is revealed in the cartoon, a boy is contemplating(认为) the true meaning of happiness. It is indeed a tough question for him: what is happiness? Making a huge sum of money, or winning true love, or keeping good health, or what? The picture is fairly thought-provoking(发人深省), which intends to convey to us this message: Due attention should be paid to the constant topic of human—happiness.

We can easily recognize the significance of attitude in terms of happiness. On the one hand, some have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Take the victims of Wen Chuan earthquake as an example, they lost their families and even something more precious, but they eventually stepped out of the pain to rebuild their home. On the other hand, people who have a relatively easy and comfortable life, and yet are essentially unhappy. Without a positive attitude or the determination to find the little happiness of life, you are destined to(注定) be grievous, no matter what kind of situation you are in.

Considering all the points discussed above, it is advisable that we highly value optimism and ap* it in our studies and work. We are, therefore, supposed to take a rational attitude. Happiness is an attitude, not a condition, which lies in the unswerving efforts(坚持不懈的努力) to complete one’s life.

In some countries, teenagers have jobs while they are still students. Do you think this is a good idea? Support your opinion by using specific reasons and details.

In many countries it is common for teenagers to take part-time jobs while they are still in high school, while in other societies this is virtually unheard of. In the latter situation, students are expected to spend all of their time on their studies and consider schoolwork their xxxjobxxx. In my opinion, students benefit more from a more balanced lifestyle, which may include working at a part-time job. Therefore, I believe that it is a good idea for students to work while studying.

While it is true that a student’s most important goal must be to learn and to do well at his studies, it does not need to be the only goal. In fact, a life which consists of only study is not balanced and may cause the student to miss out on other valuable learning experiences. In addition to bringing more balance to a student’s life, part-time work can broaden his range of experience. He will have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and will be faced with a wider variety of problems to solve. Furthermore, work helps a student to develop greater independence, and earning his own pocket money can teach him how to handle his finances. Finally, a part-time job can help a student to develop a greater sense of responsibility, both for his own work and for that of the team he works with.

For all of these reasons, I firmly believe that most students would benefit from taking a part-time job while they are in high school. Of course, they must be careful not to let it take up too much of their time because study is still their primary responsibility. In sum, living a balanced life is the best way to be successful.

Some people are committed to their dreams and work hard to achieve their goals． What is guiding them is a kind of illusion．Some people think that illusion is good for success while others argue that it is not so good because it may get people unrealistic． As far as I am concerned， illusion is necessary in our life only if it is encouraging and realistic．

There are several reasons．First of all， there is power in illusion． The illusion can lead people to the path they want to go on and it gives us passion． We need to live each moment wholeheartedly， with all our senses so that we can find pleasure in the fragrance of backyard garden， the crayoned picture of a six－year－old， and the enchanting beauty of a rainbow． The illusion can be enthusiastic love of life that puts sparkle in our eyes， a lilt in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls．

Secondly， we are born with wide－eyed， enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle． It is this childlike wonder and illusion that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air， no matter how old they are． For example， the famous cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. Music， for him， was an elixir that made life a never－ending adventure． As author and poet Samuel once wrote， “Years wrinkle the skin， but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”

Lastly， people with illusions also love what they do， regardless of money or power or title． If we cannot do what we love as a full－time career， we can as do a part－time vocation， like the head of state who paints， the nun who runs marathons and the executive who handcrafts furniture． We cannot afford to waste tears and energy and time on “might－have－beens”． We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what－can－be”．

To sum up， God gives each bird its food， but he does not throw it into its nest． Wherever you want to go， just cherish your precious illusion and let your dream be realized．

TREAT STUDENTS AS ADULTS, NOT CHILDREN

Some time ago, China’s Ministry of Education banned university students from renting private accommodation during their studies. This has given rise to a heated discussion. Some people, especially school management and most parents, embrace such a ban, while others criticize it fiercely. Personally, I am against the ban.

First, most college students are adults and should enjoy the right to choose where to live. In banning off-campus housing, the education authorities seem to believe that college students, most aged 18-22, should be treated as children, rather than adults. Some administrators claim that students lack self-control and cannot make proper decisions for themselves. This is surely not fair treatment for such a bright young generation. If these students didn’t attend colleges, but worked in companies or joined the army, they would be treated as adults.

Secondly, private accommodation is indeed preferable to living on campus for many students. It is true that living on campus promotes a sense of belonging by being closely connected with other students. This could truly be a valuable part of the four-year college education. Students living on campus also have easier access to vast school resources, such as libraries, computer rooms and various evening seminars. But crowded dormitories, high noise levels, early electricity curfews and other strict codes also make dorms less attractive. At least dorms are not the right home for everyone. Off-campus housing, meanwhile, offers a greater degree of freedom. That is especially true for self-motivated students, students studying late for important tests or working late on academic projects. Many students living off-campus also share rooms. They have to negotiate contracts, pay utilities and probably cook for themselves. All help prepare students to better manage their study and life. In fact this also conforms to most schools’ creed that students should be in touch with the real world as much as possible.

One of the motives for the housing ban is that education authorities hope this will help prevent students from cohabitation and having sex during school years. But since students can now legally marry in schools, why should they be banned from having sex? Reality tells us that this is wishful thinking. Banning sex among students has been and will be a mission impossible. This is probably why some schools have installed condom vending machines on campus or provide free condoms in school clinics, which tells students to have safe sex, rather than no sex.

To sum up, we should treat students as adults instead of children. Though there might be problems in allowing students to leave off campus, we should not give up eating for fear of choking, as the Chinese idiom says. In today’s diversified world, schools should show respect to students in making their own choices. After all, schools are not military barracks and students are not soldiers.

If I could change one thing about my hometown, I thinkit would be the fact that there's no sense ofcommunity here. People don't feel connected, theydon't look out for each other, and they don't get toknow their neighbors.

People come and go a lot here. They change jobsfrequently and move on. This means that they don't put down roots in the community. They don'tjoin community organizations and they're not willing to get involved in trying to improve thequality of life. If someone has a petition to put in a new street light, she has a very hardtime getting a lot of people to sign. They don't feel it has anything to do with them. They don'tget involved in improving the schools because they don't think the quality of education isimportant to their lives. They don't see the connection between themselves and the rest of theircommunity.

People don't try to support others around them. They don't keep a friendly eyes on theirchildren, or check in on older folks if they don't see them for a few days.

The twentieth century has brought with it manyadvances. With those advances, human lives havechanged dramatically. In some ways life is worse, butmostly it is better. Changes in food preparationmethods, for example, have improved our lives greatly.

The convenience of preparing food today is stoves have gotten too slow for us. Microwave cooking is much easier. We can press a fewbuttons and a meal is completely cooked in just a short time. People used to spend hourspreparing an oven-cooked meal, and now they can use that time for other, better things. Plus,there are all kinds of portable, prepackaged foods we can buy. Heat them in the office microwave,and lunch at work is quick and easy.

Food preparation today allows for more variety. With refrigerators and freezers, we canpreserve a lot of different foods in our homes. Since technology makes cooking so much faster,people are willing to make several dishes for even a small meal. Parents are more likely to letchildren be picky, now that they can easily heat them up some prepackaged macaroni and cheese onthe side. Needless to say, adults living in the same house may have very different eating habitsas well. If they don’t want to cook a lot of different dishes, it’s common now to eat out atrestaurants several times a w...

People attend college or university for manydifferent reasons (for example, newexperiences, career preparation, increasedknowledge). Why do you think people attendcollege or university? Use specific reasons andexamples to support your answer.

People attend colleges or universities for a lot ofdifferent reasons. I believe that the three mostcommon reasons are to prepare for a career, to havenew experiences, and to increase their knowledge ofthemselves and the world around them.

Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is theprimary 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 asinformation 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 havingthe 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, thisis the first time they’ve had to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increasestheir knowledge of themselves.

It has been said, “Not every thing that islearned is contained in books.” Compare andcontrast knowledge gained from experience withknowledge 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 sometimesthe hardest, lessons we learn in life come from ourparticipation in situations. You can’ learneverything from a book.

Of course, learning from books in a formal educational setting is also valuable. It’s inschools that we learn the information we need to function in our society. We learn how to speakand write and understand mathematical equations. This is all information that we need to livein our communities and earn a living.

Nevertheless, I think that the most important lessons can’t be taught; they have to beexperienced. No one can teach us how to get along with others or how to have self-respect. Aswe grow from children into teenagers, no one can teach us how to deal with peer pressure. As weleave adolescence behind and enter adult life, no one can teach us how to fall in love and getmarried.

This shouldn’t stop us from looking for guidelines along the way. Teachers and parents arevaluable sources of advice when we’re young. As we enter into new stages in our lives, theadvice we receive from them is very helpful because they have already bad similar exp...

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 have.

我们生活在全球化的世界中，跨文化交流越来越常见。换句话说，在人类历史中，我们还没有如此紧密地链接在一起。就如一位哲学家所说的，没有人与外界孤立。如果我们想拥有广阔的未来，我们需要合作。所以，团队的精神非常重要。为了重大目标的完成，我们需要互相协作。在全球化的背景下，我们需要某种特殊的能力。

First of all， team spirit offers us a platform where we can operate our collective talent towork out thebest. Only when we work effectively together can we have the best chance to getthe success. Taking the 2008 Beijing Olympics for example， I think the success of the eventfirst goes to the superb team spirit of the organizers and millions of manypeople work hard and cooperate well for the single aim and the solitary goal： anexceptional Olympics for the whole world. A lot of student volunteers in Beijing arecommitted and work tirelessly during the hot summer. History has witnessed their brilliantteamwork and valuable is more，team spirit is quite useful for personalcareer.

首先，团队精神提供了我们一个平台，这个平台能够集聚所有人的力量。只有我们努力协作，我们才有可能成功。就拿2008年北京奥运会为例，我认为事件的成功来源于上百万志愿者的协作和团队精神。所以，许多人为了单一目标而协作努力：为全世界奉献了精彩的奥运会。在炎热的夏天，许多志愿者努力工作。历史见证了他们的团队合作，以及卓越贡献。更重要的是，团队精神对于个人的发展也是有意义的。

As young students，we must learn the core and sharpen our skills in the you work ina company，most of the time you have to finish or design a huge project with your person can contribute their wisdom to the completion of the task. You cannot do it sowell single-handedly. When we watchthe Olympic Games on TV， we are so amazed by theexcellent performances of the players. If they want to win the gold medals， they mustcompete as one person and exercise their own part well for the whole we can saythe team spirit is the secret of success.

作为一名年轻学生，我们必须学会在团队中锻炼自己的能力。如果你在一家公司工作，那么绝大部分的时间你都必须与其他同事完成重要的设计任务。每个人都为这一目标献出了自己的智慧。你不可能单枪匹马。当我在电视机前观看奥运会比赛时，我们对运动员的出色表现而惊叹不已。如果他们想夺取金牌，为了目标，他们必须通力合作。所以，团队精神是成功的秘诀。

Finally，team spirit is the symbol of national power and strength. As we all know，theChinese delegationhas won the most medals during the 2008 Olympics and all Chinese peopleare so proud of our country. Another example is the touching power of the team spirit in theSichuan earthquake. We were moved by the perseverance and persistence of the rescueworkers， who were eager to help their compatriots.

最后，团队精神是国家富强和力量的象征。众所周知，中国代表团在2008年奥运会上奖牌总数第一，中国人无不为此而骄傲。另一个体现团队精神的例子是四川地震。我们被救援人员的坚韧和顽强品质所感染，他们不惜生命的代价抢救伤员。

In conclusion， team spirit is an important ability and skill in the 21th century because we areall facedwith the globalization and the question of how to live better. Therefore， we mustlearn to work well in the team and let the team spirit guide us to success.

总结，团队精神是21世纪最重要的能力和技能，因为我们都处在全球化的大背景之下，我们的问题时如何生活得更好。所以，我们必须通力协作，只有团队精神才能让我们取得成功。

TREAT STUDENTS AS ADULTS, NOT CHILDREN

Some time ago, China’s Ministry of Education banned university students from renting private accommodation during their studies. This has given rise to a heated discussion. Some people, especially school management and most parents, embrace such a ban, while others criticize it fiercely. Personally, I am against the ban.

First, most college students are *s and should enjoy the right to choose where to live. In banning off-campus housing, the education authorities seem to believe that college students, most aged 18-22, should be treated as children, rather than *s. Some administrators claim that students lack self-control and cannot make proper decisions for themselves. This is surely not fair treatment for such a bright young generation. If these students didn’t attend colleges, but worked in companies or joined the army, they would be treated as *s.

Secondly, private accommodation is indeed preferable to living on campus for many students. It is true that living on campus promotes a sense of belonging by being closely connected with other students. This could truly be a valuable part of the four-year college education. Students living on campus also have easier access to vast school resources, such as libraries, com*r rooms and various evening seminars. But crowded dormitories, high noise levels, early electricity curfews and other strict codes also make dorms less attractive. At least dorms are not the right home for everyone. Off-campus housing, meanwhile, offers a greater degree of freedom. That is especially true for self-motivated students, students studying late for important tests or working late on academic projects. Many students living off-campus also share rooms. They have to negotiate contracts, pay utilities and probably cook for themselves. All help prepare students to better manage their study and life. In fact this also conforms to most schools’ creed that students should be in touch with the real world as much as possible.

One of the motives for the housing ban is that education authorities hope this will help prevent students from cohabitation and having sex during school years. But since students can now legally marry in schools, why should they be banned from having sex? Reality tells us that this is wishful thinking. Banning sex among students has been and will be a mission impossible. This is probably why some schools have installed condom vending machines on campus or provide free condoms in school clinics, which tells students to have safe sex, rather than no sex.

To sum up, we should treat students as *s instead of children. Though there might be problems in allowing students to leave off campus, we should not give up eating for fear of choking, as the Chinese idiom says. In today’s diversified world, schools should show respect to students in making their own choices. After all, schools are not military barracks and students are not soldiers.

Laozihao is not only the commercial phenomenon, but also the history in miniature. It is popular for its unique arts and crafts. However, some of these enterprises have become outdated or are operating in red dueto a rigid conventional thinking, loose management or have different opinions about whether the Laozihao should be preserved or not. As far as I’m concerned, the critical point is not only toremain but also to preserve and develop the Laozihao. Laozihao is important to the traditional culture andthe national commerce. As a time-honored brand, Laozihao enjoys the extensive reputation in the society. It is of golden opinion, and carries the trust of the customers. Moreover, it is the precise non-material cultural heritage. The city without Laozihao will lose the unique scene as a famous historic city.

In the market-oriented economic society, Laozihao satisfies the emotional need of people for the national it cannot be denied that now Laozihao are paying their way. Affected by the market-oriented economy, Laozihao are taking the shine off. The out-dated concepts, old-fashioned products and backward management are all the factors for the fall of Laozihao. As for the fact, we should not only remain the Laozihao, but also have to preserve and develop it.

First, the support system of Laozihao should be built up. The advanced technology, automatic intellectual property rights and modern organization are key points in the development of Laozihao. On the basis of keeping its traditional features, it should work out new products, which are more suitable for the modern society, so as to extend the market share. Second, Laozihao should have the priority in the policy and finance. It is the most important embodiment of a historic city. So In the urban planning, the original locationshould be preserved. And the government would finance them to improve their technology and equipments. Third, it is suggested that Laozihao should be preserved as the intangible assets of the country. In this way, Laozihao will do good to the cultural landscape as well as develop its own commercial function.

In conclusion, Laozihao is the carrier of the traditional culture and arts. It’s a symbol of the nationalhistory. We should preserve it and use effective ways to develop it. It is not only the demand of the market, but also the requirement of the culture.

Providing physical exercises should not be the schools 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 sim* 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 gry facilities, playing fields, and athletic equipment for their student. 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.
