The purpose of education is not only to train youngsters for the employment market, but to prepare them for tomorrow’s society.Because of the rapidly changing world, one can argue that changes will be continuous, which will make lifelong learning necessary for those who expect to handle the changes successfully.While some may argue that their education commenced when they began school and concluded when they had completed it, modern reality suggests that education is a lifelong process, and the classroom is merely the beginning of the education process.The very nature of its definition implies that education is lifelong.Lifelong education builds on and affects all existing educational providers, and extends beyond the formal educational providers to include all bodies and individuals involved in learning activities.Lifelong education means enabling people to learn at different times, in different ways, for different purposes at various stages of their lives and careers.Unit 6 I often find myself trying to explain the attraction traveling holds for me.Traveling, according to many people, is often uncomfortable and even, at least sometimes, dangerous.But one benefit of traveling is that it creates a perfect atmosphere for the observation of life, an environment that can lead to better understanding and enlightenment.Many wonderful people and places lie on the road ahead.The fact that there are obstacles as well only makes the journey more rewarding.My life and my memories will be improved after encountering these people and places.That’s a pretty big benefit!

Of course I could also enrich my life without traveling very far at all, but there is something about foreign lands that provides an additional fascination.I think most non-travelers are simply too distracted by things such as work, home, and friends to devote their full attention to observation of life.I'm more observant when I'm on the road and therefore, more alive.I talk to more people and listen to them carefully.I keenly notice everything about my strange new environment.I see a lot of humor that can compensate for the misery of moving about.Unit 7

Depending on the drug, many people report feelings like happiness, confidence, or peace when they take drugs.But even when they’re feeling these things, there’s a sense that it’s not real, that the happiness is going to disappear any moment.And unfortunately, in most cases these feelings are followed by depression, anxiety, guilt, embarrassment, loneliness and wanting more drugs.Generally, drugs interfere with the nervous system’s basic functions.Sometimes they alter the muscles and how they function too.Besides, almost all drugs can make it tougher to sleep.Some drugs can cause immediate death, and some can give even healthy people a heart attack on the spot.Using drugs over and over for a long period of time can cause lots of medical problems, from lung cancer to liver problems to brain damage.In addition to the physical problems, drugs cause major long-term brain issues.Depression is a serious problem for many addicts.Also, they can really hurt people — telling lies, stealing money for drugs, sometimes even getting violent with people they love.Their biggest ambition becomes getting high, instead of setting high goals.Unit8 Wars between States have become less frequent.But in the last decade internal wars have claimed more than 5 million lives, and driven even more people from their homes.At the same time weapons of mass destruction continue to cast their shadow of fear.The threat of deadly conflict must be tackled at every stage:

Pursuing arms reductions.The Secretary-General urges Member States to control small arms transfers more rigorously;and to re-commit themselves to reducing the dangers both of existing nuclear weapons and of further proliferation.Strengthening peace operations.While traditional peacekeeping had focused mainly on monitoring ceasefires, today’s complex peace operations are, in essence, to assist the parties engaged in conflict to pursue their interests through political channels instead.Prevention.Conflicts are most frequent in poor countries, especially in those that are ill governed and where there are sharp inequalities between ethnic or religious groups.The best way to prevent them is to promote balanced economic development, combined with human rights, minority rights and fair political arrangements.Also, illicit transfers of weapons, money, or natural resources must be focused.Protecting the vulnerable.We must find better ways to enforce international and human rights law, and ensure that gross violations do not go unpunished.Part II Reciting materials from CET-4 Writing 第一篇：圖表作文（2012-12 CET-4 真題）Education pays...Education pays in higher earnings and lower unemployment rates

Note: Data are for persons age 25 and over.Earnings are for full-time wage and salary workers.Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Current Population Survey.范文一：

Education Pays

What is shown in the chart above is that those people with high degree earn more than those with lower.For example, staff with master’s degree receive a better payment than those with bachelor’s degree, according to a survey of the payment to the employee.These survey indicates that education degree does have a relationship with earnings, contrary to the recent theory of useless education.Recently, there is a heated discussion about the significance of the education.Some people hold a view that higher education is useless since college education cannot mesh with the social needs.Some think that higher education is indispensable if you want to go far in both your studies and life.Now that survey has proved which part is wiser.As for me, I definitely support the view that education is necessary for people’s life.Reading can not only make me survive well in this society with fierce competitionbut also help me make sense of life.I pursue for it for my whole life.范文二：

Education Pays

As we can see from the picture that nowadays, the phenomenon of Education Pays has aroused wide concern among the people who care about the young people’s future.Especially to the young generation living in the big cities, they tend to put the pays to the first place but not the degree, ignoring the fact that this behavior may pose underlying threat to their present career and may even endanger futures.Ample reasons can account for the issue of Education Pays，the following one might be the most critical.For the majority of young people, they have been always considering the education as a bothering thing to do or not a opportunity that can add color to the dull routine of every day life.So,they want to get a job as early as possible.But, as matter of fact, as the picture described, the people who have learned more earn more than others And,in the picture, the ones who have the doctoral degree earn more than the ones who have only a degree as bachelor.To my way of thinking, the issue mentioned above will bound to generate more consequences if we keep turning a blind eye and deaf ear to it.We should appeal to the relevant administration departments to strengthen supervision over it.And，it is high time that all of us ,parents，educators，and the authorities, make combined efforts to tell the young people the fact about the Education Pays.With this measure taken, it is reasonable for us to believe that this problem can be perfectly solved in the near future.第二篇：議論文（立論）（2012-6 CET-4 真題）

On Excessive Packaging

Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, to name but a few.There are several causes of excessive packaging.The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits.On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging.In my point of view, excessive packaging has disastrous consequences, including the loss of precious resources, excessive consumption of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scarce land for landfill.To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures.First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging of companies.In addition, we need to raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging does not equal to high quality and advocate packaging recycling.范文二：

On Excessive Packaging

In recent years, with the economy growing, all kinds of goods are flowing into our life.The packaging of goods becomes more and more attracting our eyes.However, the problem of excessive packaging has aroused people’s wide concern.This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons.For one thing, the business has seen through the mind of most consumers who are face-saving, for they thought that the more beautiful the packaging of goods is, the best people like.For another thing, excessive packaging can make the majority of merchants get high profit for the cheap commodity by improving price.Perhaps the primary reason lies that the form far outweighs the content.In my opinion, it is more advisable to focus on the quality of goods than to decorate its appearance.So, it is urgent that immediate measures should be taken to stop the situation.Only in this way can we reduce unnecessary waste and have a rational and pure shopping condition, making our money cost worthwhile.第三篇：應(yīng)用文（歡迎詞）（2007-6 CET-4 真題）Welcome to our club 1.表達(dá)你的歡迎；

1、美好生活從學(xué)會(huì)感激開始

If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive thoughts.When we are stressed, depressed, upset, or otherwise in a negative state of mind because we perceive that “bad things” keep happening to us, it is important to shift those negative thoughts to something positive.If we don't, we will only attract more “bad things.”

It is often very hard to think positive when so many things are negative, but I can assure you that someone somewhere is worse off than you.We can choose to think differently by beginning with the smallest of steps.If you start with one small, positive thing and repeat it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation: positive thoughts, feelings, opportunities and people will start showing up in your life.With practice, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, irregardless of the events around you.2.Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself(悟透＂自己＂)In all one's lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a sober realist: aware of both one's strength and shortage.You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for ideals can never be fully realized.You may be courageous to meet challenges, but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.To get a thorough understanding of oneself requires doing oneself a favor when it's needed.In time of anger, do yourself a favor by giving vent to it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames;in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one;in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep，and show yourself loving concern about your health and daily life.3.Autumn Autumn is easily my favorite time of the year.The days have cooled down, the leaves have turned yellow, and the world is busy preparing herself for winter.There's something magical about the clear brisk days, the first smell of the woodstove or the fireplace, the first frost, the canning of the late fruits and vegetables, the pumpkin and cider stands on the roadways.There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen.Fallen leaves lying on the grass in the November sun bring more happiness than the daffodils.School has started, and there's newness in the air.Even though the season is the precursor to winter, somehow, the world knows that winter is necessary, and the long preparation for the cold of winter--the preparation that is autumn--is a beautiful, necessary part of the world.4.How to Grow Happiness

Someone says that Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, and to be needed.I have no objection to that, only wondering how to grow happiness.Step one: Plant yourself deep in a bed of faith, and pack it down solid and tight.Drench daily with positive thinking, and keep saturated just right.Mulch often with forgiveness, for this will help you grow.Quickly remove any seeds of worry, for they will soon germinate, and keep out the weeds of despair.Nourish disappointments with hope whenever it is needed, and always stay cool and shaded when you feel irritated or heated.Trim away guilt or depression, for they create decay, and cultivate with happy memories as often as every day.Step two: Harvest the lessons of the past;just dig, pick, and hoe.And nurture the roots of the present, for now is when you flourish and grow.Start planting for the future;set your goals in a row.Spade the bed well for all your dreams to grow.Step three: Remember that grief is a natural predator, so learn to tolerate some damage.Protect your garden with daily prayers, for this will help you manage.Bury the criticism and complaining, for they are injurious pests.Sow the seed of love wherever you may go--for joy, love, and laughter are surely bound to grow.Although the thorns of life may be here to stay, just sprout a smile along the way...and be thankful for what you have.

第七周星期一湖北文理學(xué)院理工學(xué)院 英語樂園晨讀材料A friend told me this story.He can stretch the truth a bit, so I’m not sure whether to believe him.But on the other hand, truth can be stranger than fiction!What do you think?

Two brothers were watching a horror film on video late one night.One brother dozed off and dreamed that he was being chased by the crazy man from the movie, who was trying to kill him.In the dream, he hid in a cupboard.There was no sound except his heart pounding, and he had no idea where his crazed captor was.He was terrified!At that moment, the video finished, and his brother put his hand on the shoulder of his sleeping sibling to wake him.The shock at that tense moment was enough that that the sleeping brother suffered a massive heart attack and died instantly.參考譯文：

第四篇：大學(xué)英語第二學(xué)期期末作文

1.Developing Economy or Protecting the Environment

發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)還是保護(hù)環(huán)境

Some people think that the urgent task is to develop economy on a large scale.First, they hold that many people, especially in rural areas, are living in poverty.As a result, many children drop out of school（輟學(xué)）and can’t afford even the compulsory education.Second, they believe only by further balancing and developing our economy can we get rid of poverty and gain the overall prosperity.On the other hand, many people insist that environmental protection should be a top priority.First, they claim that we have only one mother earth.If our ecological environment is heavily polluted or ruined, we could not even survive on this planet.Second, they believe, it’s the rapid and advanced development of economy that leads to the present situation that most parts of the world are polluted.If the problem left unsolved, one day we may have nothing to drink, let alone develop our economy.In my opinion, both economy and environmental protection are our urgent tasks now.Without economic development, we would remain backward.Moreover, we might be conquered or bullied（欺侮、威嚇）by other powerful countries.And without environmental protection, we would lose our home.Therefore, the best solution is to develop environmental-protection-oriented industries and agriculture so as to kill two birds with one stone.2、Advantages and Disadvantages of the Cell Phone

手機(jī)的利與弊

Nowadays, with the rapid development of IT(Information Technology: 信息技術(shù))and information industry, cell phones play a dominant role in townspeople’s life.But, like everything else, they have both favorable and unfavorable aspects.First, it’s useful.As a wireless mobile telephone, it’s easy and handy to carry it wherever one goes and call the callee however far away he is.Therefore, it greatly facilitates people’s life.Second, it’s convenient.whenever one meets trouble or something urgent, one can make a call immediately.Most important of all, it’s a very helpful companion.With a multifunction cell phone in hand, one can easily get on the Net（上網(wǎng)）, browsing the useful information, conducting e-commerce（電子商務(wù)）and doing whatever one can do via Internet.However, just as everything has two sides, the cell phone also has many disadvantages.To begin with, it’s expensive to buy and costly to pay the bills, esp.that of global service.To make matters worse, it’s also easy to lose and costly to get it repaired.Worst of all, it’s not as clear as a family telephone and sometimes the number dialed is often not available.Last but not least, it’s alleged the micro-waves in it might do harm to people’s health.In my opinion, with its expenses greatly reduced after China’s entry into the WTO, it will face an ever brighter future in its development.Someday most of them will be developed into new Internet-enabled mobile phones, which will be as useful as pocket computers.And I believe its advantages will not only offset（抵銷、彌補(bǔ)）its disadvantages, but also far outweigh them.Useful expressions: wireless mobile telephone: 無繩移動(dòng)電話 cellular phone users: 手機(jī)用戶 multifunction: 多功能

１ around the global service: 全球通訊服務(wù) pocket computer: 袖珍電腦、Positive and Negative Aspects of Internet

因特網(wǎng)的利與弊

With the development of computers, Internet has widely entered our daily life.It’s a fantastic information expressway（信息高速公路）that connects every corner of the world.However, like everything else, it has both positive and negative aspects.On one hand, Internet has many favorable aspects.To begin with, it provides tremendous most updated and useful information and greatly enriches our knowledge.Besides, it brings much convenience to us and greatly facilitates our daily life.To illustrate, we can almost do everything online by just staying at home.We can not only get all kinds of useful information or the educational programs from the long-distance educational system（遠(yuǎn)程教育系統(tǒng)）, but also shop on the website, order books, reserve hotel rooms.And we can even buy and sell stocks on the Net and do E-business and send E-mails.What’s more, it can help our country keep up with others in the outside world.But on the other hand, Internet also has many unfavorable aspects.First, computer viruses bring us many troubles.Besides, useless information and games are sent to us unavoidably which take us much time and waste us much money.Worst of all, there’s always unavoidable pornography（色情內(nèi)容）and obscenity（淫穢）on the Net, which will do much harm esp.to the youngsters.To sum up, in my opinion, Internet is like a double-edged sword.We should make the best use of one edge and try not be hurt by the other.5、A Teacher-centered Class or a Student-centered Class?

課程是以教師為中心還是以學(xué)生為中心？

Today in China there exist side by side two different teaching patterns: a teacher-centered class and a student-oriented class.Yet the differences between them are enormous.A teacher-centered class is a typical traditional passive class.No doubt it is a natural product of the deep-rooted examination-oriented education（應(yīng)試教育）.And there are several characteristics in this kind of class.To begin with, a teacher is the only actor on the stage and all the students are passive audience.Besides, he imparts（傳授、給予）knowledge to his students in the same way he pours water into a container, never bothering to ignite the sparks or enthusiasm in students.Therefore, the class is often like a pond of dead water.In contrast, a student-centered class is a kind of new active class, resulting from the quality-oriented education system（素質(zhì)教育）.Naturally, it’s a newcomer of the educational reform.The first characteristic of this kind of class is that the teacher and students are all actors and all the students are actively involved in the classroom activities.The second is that the teacher always tries to instill（慢慢灌輸）a love of learning in students and stimulate their interest.As a result, students, always find it a pleasure to learn in class, by asking

２ questions, discussing or even arguing with the teacher.Therefore, this kind of class is often like a boiling sea.However, I prefer an active student-oriented class not simply because it’s fun, but because it can make knowledge permanent.Besides, it can develop my creative mind and my leaning ability.6、Computers in China

中國(guó)的電腦

With the development of science and technology, computers are getting very popular in modern cities.As a result, computers have been found a wide application not only in offices, but also in many families.Moreover, they have entered thousands and thousands of banks, schools, companies and families.And they are now making their way（一路前進(jìn)、向前）for the country.Why are computers so popular? The answer is that the powerful machines have many uses.To illustrate, first, as the most powerful brain in the universe, computers can do computation(計(jì)算)very quickly and accurately.Besides, they can gather and store information for later use.Finally, if joining Internet, they can exchange E-mails and chat with people throughout every corner of the world.In a word, these wonderful machines can create almost all the wonders of the world now.With so many advantages and uses, computers will be even more popular in the coming century.On the one hand, more and more people will buy computers and get on the information expressway.On the other hand, computers will continue to perform wonders.Doctors may use them in a long-distance medical treatment（遠(yuǎn)程診治）;teachers may start a long-distance educational program;business people may all conduct E-business and most customers may shop on the Net.Eventually, I firmly believe computers will revolutionize（徹底改變）our life in every aspect in the near future.7、Education: Examination-oriented or Quality-oriented

教育應(yīng)是應(yīng)試教育還是素質(zhì)教育

From primary school to college, students, teachers, parents---all are struggling for high scores.This is because the current education system is not aimed at students’ quality, but at developing their ability to perform well on the test.As a result, many students, even those with high scores, often do poorly when it comes to the practical application of the knowledge（當(dāng)涉及到理論知識(shí)的應(yīng)用時(shí)）they have learned.Therefore, China is challenging examination-oriented education by advocating quality-oriented education（提倡素質(zhì)教育）.The alternative will focus on the students’ ability and quality as a whole.And the exam results will no longer play a key role in evaluating the academic achievements（評(píng)估學(xué)業(yè)成績(jī)）that a student gains in school.My comment is that we should quicken the transition from exam-oriented to quality-oriented education.Personally, I firmly believe in the magic force of the new education policy, and eagerly look forward to enjoying the great benefits the program will bring about.It seems that I have seen in my mind’s eye a more colorful life, the looser environment, yet the more creative minds of the future students.Our education, so to speak, will not be making a “robot” or a “computer” out of the students, but bringing up a new generation that are masters of the robot and the computer themselves.8、Develop Our Creative Mind

提倡創(chuàng)新精神

３

Most Chinese students are accustomed to teacher-centered passive education（被動(dòng)教育）.From primary school, to college, bound to the teacher-centered, exam-oriented education, they are always encouraged to obey teachers’ instructions, but discouraged to argue with teachers about what is being taught, let alone（不管）to form their own original ideas.However, this passive educational pattern（被動(dòng)教學(xué)模式）has caused many problems and produced a lot of side effects（副作用）, First, as students tend to follow the beaten track（走老路、按照慣例行事）and dare not challenge what is conventional, they gradually form the passive way of thinking.To make things worse, as they are so dependent on others, most of them lack the ability to solve practical problems.Worst of all, this puts out any sparks of inspiration（靈感）in their mind and render them to have no creativity at all.Admittedly, it will do great harm in their future.But now, with the arrival of the globalization of economy（隨著全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化的到來）, it’s advocated that we should develop students’ creative mind and cultivate their innovative learning habits.I believe, only those with break-new-ground spirit, creative mind and proper skills will succeed in competing in the global job markets.9.My View on a Part-time Job

兼職工作

Nowadays more and more college students are crazy about conducting business（做生意）or doing part-time jobs.It’s estimated that no less than 20 percent students are busy themselves with part-time jobs.What’s more, the tendency still seems to be on the rise.However, people have different opinions about it.Some people think of it positively.They believe doing a part-time job can earn them pocket money（零用錢）and release the financial burden（經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān)）on their parents.Besides, it’s necessary for them to take some real-life courses and learn more about the society so as to keep up with the outside world.Others have a very different opinion and they think of it negatively.They hold doing a part-time job does more harm than good.In fact, they are actually selling themselves out as cheap unskilled labor and wasting their precious time in college.Besides, it will influence their study and lead them fail to live up to（辜負(fù)）the expectations of the country and of their parents.In my opinion, as a college student, our priority is to study.Halfhearted（半心半意的）efforts can’t make us more competitive in the future job markets.Therefore, we should make full use of every minute in college or at least keep a good balance between study and part-time jobs and give more weight to our studies.10、Blood Donation Without Repayment

無償獻(xiàn)血

Today blood donation without repayment is widely advocated.In fact every year, millions of people gather together in different areas to donate their blood.Their voluntary donation is esteemed（尊重）by other people who will follow their example and do the same later.Blood donation without repayment is a noble action.It’s of some importance.First, it’s necessary for National Defence and the development of modern medicine.With adequate store in blood bank（血庫(kù)）we can save lives of wounded soldiers during a war and those of the dying and seriously ill in everyday life.Second, it can cultivate one’s unselfishness and love for the mankind.４

However, blood donation would do no harm to donators’ health.As we all know, only healthy people are allowed to donate blood.And every time only a small amount of blood is drawn out from a donator.After blood donation, the donator’s body will make a quick adjustment to let the mechanism（人體機(jī)制）operate in its normal way.５
