Internet

Everything lives with opposite forces.The same can be said about modern technology, such as Internet.At first glance Internet offers us excitement and a worl of promise.Frankly speaking, people who have some ideas of it can not deny the merits born with the system.For instance,it can improve proficiency in scientific research, for by means of it scientists and researchers can get a global look at the latest development in the field concerned and accordingly they need spend no time doing what has already been done.In view of personal communication, the most convenient means could be peculiar to Internet, too.While people speak highly of Internet,its drawbacks shouldn＇t be neglected.Sometimes, alittle fatal breakdown of the system, or a disastrous error could bring us an enormous amount of damage an。Meanwhile, with lnternet＇s replacement of hooks or the written work as the main source of information, human＇s writing abilities are weakened and relations between people are desalinated.However, every country on this planet should work hard to

因特網

任何事情的存在都有負面影響?？梢哉f科技也是如此，例如網絡。初看起來，網絡帶給我們興奮的一個有前途的世界。坦白地講，既使對此有些想法的人也不能否認網絡與生俱來的優點。舉個例子，它可提高科研效率，因為科學家們觀察它們借此能夠獲得對相關領域最新發展的全面了解。并且他們無需費時做已做過的事情。對于個人交流溝通，最便捷的方式恐怕也是網絡。

當人們高度評價網絡時；應忽視它的缺欠。有時系統小有一點致命的故障或一點災難性的錯誤都會帶來巨大的損失。同時隨著作為主要信息來源的各種書籍和書寫工作逐漸被網絡替代，人類的寫作能力變弱，而且人與人之間的關系也淡漠了。

盡管如此，這個星球上的每個國家都應努力發展這個網絡系統以便更高效服務于人類。因為在網上，所有的國家都是相互聯系的。

人類生存Man Is to Survive

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition about: Man Is to Survive.You should base your writing on the following outline:

1．人類面臨的問題(如能源、疾病、污染、人口等)；

2．悲觀的看法(如人類將無法生存)；

Man is finding himself confronted with more and more problems which threaten his existence on this planet.For example, some resources are beginning to be exhausted.Many diseases are getting difficult to be cured.Various kinds of pollution are becoming worse and worse.Moreover, population explosion is always on the rise...Therefore, there comes the problem: will man survive these problems?

Faced with，so many problems, pessimists hold that man is destined to die out.Their reasons are as follows.With population explosion, food will be scarce;space will shrink;resources will be used up.Moreover, pollution will threaten our health;

incurable diseases will endanger our lives...Obviously, man has only one way out——complete destruction.Admittedly, these people have their reasons to think in this way, but I don＇t think they are altogether right.I believe that man is bound to overcome these difficulties and survive a into the future because man is endowed with wisdom.With this wisdom, he came up with solutions to problems he came across in the past.With this wisdom, he will surely work out solutions to the problems which will arise in the future.學生求職為何難?

Why It Is Difficult ron College Students to Find Jobs?(大學生求職為何難?)

1．描述現狀；

2．分析原因；

3．給出辦法。

[寫作導航]先陳述現實，即雖然從理論上講不應如此，但大學生找工作確實很難；第二段分析原因，一方面來自大學生自身，如有些人不能溶入社會，目標過高等，另一方面是所學專業過窄，難以找到合適的工作；第三段給出“我”的觀點：大學生應了解自己的長處和短處，不要太看重物質利益，而是要著眼于長遠發展，另外還要注意繼續深造。

[范文]

More and more college students, in recent years, are finding it difficult to find jobs.This may sound strange since college students used to be the “most favored” people in society.They have received a higher education, hence they are more intelligent, knowledgeable than their counterparts who failed to attend college.But chances are that some of them

can hardly find jobs after graduating from colleges.There are two reasons that account for this strange phenomenon.One is that some college students cannot come to terms with themselves and with the world around them.They pursue too high goals and are too particular about such factors as working conditions, salary, and so on.Therefore, they are reluctant to accept the job when they are offered to them.Another reason is that the majors some students pursue do not match with the demands of the job market.As a result, they canonly sit and miss opportunities.To solve this problem, I think college students should know their own strengths and weaknesses and have the right attitude towards themselves and the job vacancies.In addition, they should not attach too much importance to material aspects of the job.They

should put priority to their future development and their contributions to society in stead.Furthermore, they should think of receiving some further training to meet the demands of society.課外活動之我見

My Views on Extracurricular Activity(課外活動之我見)

1．有些學生熱衷于課外活動；

2．有些學生從不參加課外活動；

3．我的觀點。

[寫作導航]第一段先指出，積極參加課外活動的同學對課外活動的看法是積極的；第二段再寫不積極參加課外活動的同學的看法；第三段陳述我的看法，可分別從大學生活的性質、書本知識與課外實踐以及廣交朋友等方面論述積極參加課外活動的好處。

[范文]

Some students like to participate actively in after class activities.They think after class activities are an integral part of school life.By going in for such activities, they can learn what they can＇t learn from books, which will be beneficial to them in the future.Others, however, don＇t like after class activities at all.They think that a student＇s work at school is learning theoretical knowledge and nothing else.Taking part in after class activities is a waste of the valuable time at school.In my opinion, every student should engage in some after class activities because from these activities we can learn many valuable things that we won＇t learn in classrooms.School is not just a place for learning the difference between “lie” or “lay”, or what caused the hours of the daily schedule.Finally, after class activities broaden our circle of acquaintances.No amount of ordinary school work can take the place of friends acquired in the informal familiarities of activities.分數之我見-My Ideas on Soores

My Ideas on Soores(分數之我見)

1．有人認為分數重要；

2．有人認為分數不重要；

3．我的看法。

[寫作導航]第一段從不同的人對分數有不同的看法引入主題，然后分述這些看法。有人認為分數是衡量學生掌握知識程度的唯一標準，分數還可決定一個學生是否可以上大學、讀研究生，甚至是否被工作單位錄用；而有些人則認為分數高的學生不一定工作能力強，實際能力更重要。最后給出“我”的看法，即在我看來，兩種看法都有片面性，其實兩者缺一不可。

[范文]

People＇s ideas on scores vary from person to person.Some think that scores are very important.They think in this way because scores have always been the only means to tell whether a student has a good command of the subject they have learned.To illustrate, they say scores are often used to determine whether a student should go to college or not.Scores are also used to decide whether he can further his study after graduation.Scores are still used to decide whether he can get a job in the job market.Others, on the other hand, holdthat scores are not so important as practical knowledge.They suggest that students with high scores at school are not necessarily competent in their work after graduation.Our society does not need those who can perform very well in examinations;instead, it needs those with practical skills.I think both of the above views have their limitations.Having lots of theoretical knowledge without enough practical skills is no good, nor is having lots of practical skills without enough theoretical knowledge.Only when we have a combination of both, can we be called qualified students of new China.學生評價老師

Students＇ Rating of Their Teachers(學生評價老師)

1．學生給老師打分已很普遍；

2．人們對其持不同態度；

3．我的看法

[寫作導航]第一段宜寫高校改革所帶來的變化使得學生評價教師很普遍，在有些高校學生的評價甚至成為教師教學好壞的惟一尺度；第二段應寫對這一做法，人們有不同的看法，有人贊成，認為學生最有發言權，而有人則反對，認為學生不具備評價教師的素質，對諸如教學材料、教師業務水平等的評價應由教師的同事來完成；第三段寫我的看法，我認為，學生評價教師有必要，但要切實做到對教師的教學有幫助，例如可讓學生評價在某門課上所學到的知識如何，興趣如何等等。

[范文]

A great change is now taking place in higher education throughout our country.Teachers are being held responsible as never before for how well they serve their students.It has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students.In some universities students＇ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.This, however, has caused great controversy.Some are in favor of the rating system.They hold that since students attend the teachers classes everyday, they should have their opinion about their teachers＇ effectiveness.Others, on the contrary, are

strongly against it.They think that students＇ rating is easy to administer and score, but it also is easy to abuse.They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students＇ rating forms.Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject.These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers＇ colleagues.I think students＇ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers＇ performance.Instead of rating the teachers＇ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they themselves have leaned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher＇s ability to communicate with students, his relationship with students, and his ability to arouse interest in the subject.就業時選擇高薪還是好的職業

Do You Prefer High Salary or A Promising Job?(觀點題材)

When it comes to the choice of career, some people prefer the job with high salary.Why? Their reasons run as following: to begin with, high salary can bring them happy life;in addition, with high salary, they can do whatever they want.But some others prefer to choose a job with promising future.They base their choice on the following reasons: on one hand, a promising job itself means a raise and promotion in the future;on another hand, job with a bright future will bring them honor and sense of pride.As for me, if I’m left to make the choice, I’ll not hesitate to choose a promising job.First of all, I appreciate the honor and challenge it brings to me.At the same time, if I work hard, it will offer me a lot of opportunities including high salary, good position, etc.現代社會中的女性

Woman in Modern Society

Title: Woman in Modern Society

Outline: 1)Role of women in modern society

2)Prejudices and discrimination against women

3)My comments

Women play an important part in modern society.Now many women are going into professions, such as medicine, law and engineering.They comprise a large part of the workers in businesses and factories.In addition, they are working up to important positions which used to be held mainly by men.There are even some businesses which are run completely be women.Clearly, women are making outstanding contributions to the progress of modern society.There are, However, still some people who assert that men are superior to women in many ways.First, many jobs men do can hardly be done by women, who are physically not strong enough.Second, most of the world-famous scientists and statesmen are found to be males.Finally, the whole society seems to have always been dominated by men only.In their opinion, men should enjoy more rights than women do.Personally, I'm firmly standing on the side of those woman right defenders.Since both men and women are equally important in human activities, they should be on an equal footing.(173 words)

【內容提示】

你是李華，申請到一家外資企業工作。對方要求你用英語寫一篇文章，介紹自己的基本情況。文章應包括下表所列全部內容。

注意：1．情況介紹必須采用短文形式；

2．詞數100左右；

3．文章第一句已為你寫好。

生詞：競賽——competition

【作文示范】About Myself

My name is Li Hua.I was born in the city of Dalian, Liaoning Province.I studied in Guangming Primary School from 1984 to 1990.Then I entered

NO.6 Middle School where I mainly learned the subjects like Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry and computer.I have been very fond of and good at English and computer ever since.Therefore I placed first in the school computer competition last year.My hobbies include swimming in summer, skating in winter as well as collecting stamps and listening to popular music in my spare time.【寫法指要】

1）本文是根據1996年高考英語“書面表達”題寫成的，屬介紹說明文中的自我介紹。所謂介紹說明，是指對所要說明的對象作概括扼要而又比較全面的介紹，所以介紹說明又稱概說。這種文體很有用處，比如正式求職信或自薦信的第二段介紹個人履歷時就經常這樣寫，在應聘或投考時的面試（interview）中也要作這樣的口頭表述。

2）個人簡歷這樣的介紹說明文要按照時間順序（time order）安排文章結構。所以，在文章中多用像“from 1984 to 1990”，“then”，“ever since”等這樣的表示時間順序的銜接詞語（cohesive words／transitional words）達到文章在連貫（coherence）。雖然文章在整體上是以時間順序寫的，但也不排除使用其他邏輯關系的銜接詞語。例如，本文倒數第二句開頭用的就是表因果關系的銜接詞“therefore”。這樣，就把由于“I have been fond of and good at English and computer．”，因此“I placed first in the school computer competition last year．”之間的因果關系表達出來了。所以，在安排文章的結構時，說明順序詞語的運用應根據具體情況靈活掌握，不能死搬硬套

我的理想職業

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Ideal Job.You should write no less than 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:

1．人們對職業各有不同的理想；

3．我怎樣為我理想的職業做準備。

Remember to Write your composition neatly.My Ideal Job

There are various kinds of jobs in the world, such as writing, nursing, teaching and engineering.But different people choose different jobs as their ideal careers.This is because everyone has his own interest.As for me, I have made up my mind to be a teacher.I choose to do so mainly for three reasons.First, I want to teach because I like the pace of academic calendar.Two long vacations offer me an opportunity for reflection, research and writing.Secondly, I want to teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lesson, to stimulate myself and my students.And I can have the opportunity to keep on learning.Finally, I want to teach because, being around the students who are beginning to grow and change in front of me, I will grow and change with them too.But teaching is no easy job at all.I must study cleverly to obtain more knowledge.And, at the same time, I will make every effort to purify my soul so that I can become an architect of man＇s soul.我的大學生活

My college life

As a sophomore, I am feeling the time flies.Recalling about the past one year, so many thoughts are flooding in my mind.At this time, I just can’t tell my real idea.The memory is just like so fresh, and all the things happened yesterday!

When first day I came to University, I really feel that the school is very good, but at the first sight of the dormitory, something disappointing come up to me!The condition of the dormitory is really very poor with only one room, no lavatory!I saw something sad in my father’s eyes, maybe that time he thought of the poor condition!So with a big smile on my face, I told my father” it doesn’t matter, Dad.In this kind of condition, I will get myself better!” My father felt better.But when he was coming back, seeing his back, I just wanted to cry!I felt in this city I was just isolated, from that time, I said to myself, “ you have no others who can help you here, just depend on yourself”

And then I came to my dormitory 303.I considered that I would spend four years here(in fact I moved to another one year later)and my dorm mates are all there.Most of them came from Sichuan and they were chatting with a happy voice, but I can’t understand them!Again, I felt myself isolated!I hated that kind of feeling, and then I said to hello to them!To my surprise they are very friendly to me and warm-hearted!I no longer felt afraid.And I got along well with them.But at the first night here, I burst out to tears for that I was missing my family.I don’t know why.Everyday when I was at home, I was just eager to go to school, to experience the wonderful college life but when coming here, I am just eager to go back!It’s quite strange though, you must know this kind of feeling!

Just spending about 2 days here, we were on our way to military train.To us, it’s a fresh train and a kind of experience to know the life between the classmates.But to me, I was nervous but excited.This was my first and precious train life because before going to school I have been staying with my family.So, you know, it’s just this kind of feeling I can’t convey it clearly!The train life is impressive on everybody;we had a lot of activities, for example giving a speech on a stage or singing together or playing basketball.At that time, I felt myself so little among them.All of them have a special talent but not me.I admired them but meanwhile jealousy.Why don’t I have this kind of talent? Am I stupid? I always said to myself.So that time I was also very ambitious, just eager to catch up with them.Except the classmates, the trainer in our team also left a deep impression on me!He was not very handsome and very kind.Just because of his kindness results in my laughter when training.He always said to me that I should be serious in the team but I didn’t listen to him.So after a long time, when investigating the training result, I gave them a disappointing answer.The highest trainer

如何保持健康

How to keep healthy

What is the most important thing in the world? I think it is health.You can take away our money, house, car, or even our clothes and we can survive.But if our health was taken away, we would surely die.That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies.I also eat little meat.I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins.Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body.Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.What＇s more, I think friends are an important part of one＇s health.Many studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts get sick less than those who don＇t.I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone.When I am with my friends, I always laugh.Laughing is also an important part of health.I like to laugh with my friends.By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy.By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy.These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them.I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.

Coffee Culture

作者: 雙語時代|發布日期: 2008-3-12 6:37:20

“Give me a decaf triple vente, 2 pump vanilla, non-fat, extra hot, stirred, no foam caramel macchiato with whip cream and caramel sauce top and bottom.”

“給我一杯熱的、無咖啡因和泡沫的香草糖漿脫脂加奶油濃縮式焦糖瑪奇朵咖啡。”

If you happen to be standing in one of the ubiquitous Starbucks or Coffee Bean chains in the US, chances are pretty good you might hear someone order something like this.The advent of big business coffee powerhouses like Starbucks has transformed

coffee-drinking into an extremely popular and profitable industry that is quickly spreading across the globe.Like other successful consumer-oriented businesses with a stranglehold on modern culture(iPod and Google come to mind), big coffeehouse businesses have made their product increasingly user-friendly, highly customizable, and readily accessible to people all around the world.如果你碰巧在隨處可見的星巴克或者香啡繽之類的咖啡連鎖店附近，你會經常聽見有人這樣點咖啡。像星巴克這樣的大型商業咖啡連鎖店的出現已經將傳統的咖啡飲品轉變成一種盈利的流行產業，并且在全世界范圍內迅速發展。不同于其它的一些以消費者為導向的知名成功產業束縛了現代文化的發展（馬上就想到了iPod和Google），大型商業咖啡連鎖店使他們的產品更具親和力、更適合消費者、更接近全球大眾。

Coffee has a history dating back to at least the 9th century and has been a catalyst for social interaction across cultures and eras.Originally discovered in Ethiopia, coffee beans were brought into the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Egypt, Yemen, Persia, Turkey, and North Africa by the 15th century.Muslim merchants eventually brought the beans to the thriving port city of Venice, where they sold them to wealthy Italian buyers.Soon, the Dutch began importing and growing coffee in places like Java and Ceylon(largely through slave labor), and the British East India Trading Company was

popularizing the beverage in England.Coffee spread across Europe and even reached America.咖啡的歷史可以追溯到9世紀，并被看成是一種超越文化和時代限制、促進社會交往的催化劑。最初埃塞俄比亞人發現了咖啡豆，阿拉伯商人將其帶往中東地區，并在15世紀傳播到埃及、也門、波斯、土耳其和北非。接著穆斯林商人把這些豆子帶往繁榮的港口城市威尼斯，并將其賣給富有的意大利商人。很快，荷蘭引進咖啡豆并在爪哇、錫蘭（大多是奴隸勞動）等地開始種植。大不列顛東印度貿易公司將這種飲料在英國普及開來。經過這一系列的不斷傳播和發展，咖啡遍及歐洲，并最終來到美國。

Where there has been coffee, there has been the coffeehouse.From the 15th century Middle Eastern establishments where men gathered to listen to music, play chess, and hear recitations from works of literature, to Paris' Cafe le Procope where luminaries of the French Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot came to enjoy a hot cup of joe, coffeehouses have traditionally served as centers of social interaction, places where people can come to relax, chat, and exchange ideas.哪里有咖啡，哪里就有咖啡屋。從15世紀人們聚集在一起聽歌、下棋、講述文學作品的中東地區，到法國啟蒙運動中的文化名人聚集的巴黎普洛各普咖啡館，比如伏爾泰、盧梭、狄德羅就曾經來這里品嘗熱咖啡，咖啡館自古以來就是一個供人們休息、聊天、交流思想和進行社會交往的中心。

The modern coffee shop is modeled on the espresso and pastry-centered Italian coffeehouses that arose with the establishment of Italian-American immigrant

communities in major US cities such as New York City's Little Italy and Greenwich Village, Boston's North End, and San Francisco's North Beach.New York coffee shops were often frequented by the Beats in the 1950's.It wasn't long before Seattle and other parts of the Pacific Northwest were developing coffee shops as part of a thriving counterculture scene.The Seattle-based Starbucks took this model and brought it into mainstream culture.現代咖啡館借鑒意大利咖啡館的濃縮咖啡和圓心餡餅模式，以至于在很多美國的大城市出現了一系列意大利裔移民聚集區，比如紐約的小意大利、格林威治村、波士頓北極、舊金山北灘。在20世紀50年代，“垮掉派”也是咖啡館的常客。不久在西雅圖和太平洋西北部的城市也出現了越來越多的咖啡館，并且迅速發展成為了反傳統文化的中心。源自西雅圖的星巴克利用這種模式，并將其帶入主流文化。

Although coffeehouses today continue to serve their traditional purpose as lively social hubs in many communities, they have noticeably adapted to the times.Rediscovering their purpose as centers of information exchange and communication, many coffee shops now provide their customers with internet access and newspapers.It has become

extremely common to see someone sitting at a Starbucks listening to music or surfing the web on his or her laptop.Coffee stores today also maintain a fairly identifiable, yet unique aesthetic: wooden furniture and plush couches, paintings and murals drawn on walls, and soft-lighting combine to give coffee shops the cozy feeling of a home away from home.盡管今天的咖啡館仍然像過去一樣，在很多地方扮演著社會活動中心的角色，最顯著的特點是它們的時間適應性。重新作為信息交換和談論的中心，咖啡館為客人提供上網的途徑和報刊雜志。在星巴克看見有人聽歌或用筆記本上網是極為平常的事情。直到今天咖啡館仍然保持其清晰獨特的審美品味：木制的家具、舒適的沙發、以及墻上的彩繪和壁畫。所有的一切包括柔和的燈光，都給咖啡館營造了一種舒適安逸的氛圍，仿佛置身于自己的另一個家中。

Today, big business retail coffee shops are expanding quickly all over the world.Starbucks alone has stores in over 40 countries and plans to add more.Despite its popularity, Starbucks has been criticized and labeled by many as a blood-sucking

corporate machine, driving smaller coffee shops out of business through unfair practices.This has even spawned an anti-corporate coffee counterculture, with those subscribing to this culture boycotting big business coffee chains.Increasingly popular coffee stores such as The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf are also giving Starbucks some stiff competition.In any case, it seems pretty clear that coffee has weaved itself into the fabric of our

consumer-oriented culture.今天，大型商業咖啡零售店在全球迅速發展。僅僅是星巴克就已經遍及全球40多個國家并且還在不斷擴展中。盡管受歡迎，但星巴克還是被有些人指責或標榜為“吸血鬼機器”，因為它的壟斷使得許多小型咖啡企業破產。甚至造成了一種反企業壟斷的非主流文化和與其相呼應的抵制大型商業咖啡連鎖店活動。像香啡繽這樣的咖啡館的興起也增加了星巴克的競爭壓力。無論如何，可以肯定的是，咖啡已經將自己置身于以消費者為導向的文化結構中。Coffee, it would seem, is more than just a drink.From early on after its inception, coffee has been tied closely with cultural trends and has been indicative of important periods in history.It was poured into the cups of the giants of the French Enlightenment as they changed the course of human thought, it was placed on the backs of Brazilian slaves in the era of Imperialism, it's fragrance was in the air as Beat poets like Kerouac and

Ginsberg wrote of their alienation, and it is here now as the world continues to change in this era of technology and globalization.So the next time you enjoy your latte or your ice-cold caramel frappuccino, appreciate the fact that you are connected to countless numbers of people spanning many different cultures and eras through your love of that wondrous beverage: coffee.可以說，咖啡已經不僅僅是一種飲料。自始至終，它都和文化發展緊密相聯并且成為歷史重要時期的象征。咖啡在改變了人類思想進程的法國啟蒙運動巨人們的杯中緩緩流動；咖啡是帝國主義時代巴西奴隸肩上沉重的負擔；咖啡在“垮掉派詩人”凱魯亞克和金斯堡描寫孤獨寂寥的空氣中肆意飄香。到了今天，它依舊在這個科技和全球化的時代里隨著世界不斷地發展和改變。所以下次，在你享受熱鐵拿或冰卡布奇諾時，可以想象一下，你正在穿越文化和時空的界限與無數的偉人進行思維的交流和碰撞，都是由于對這種美味飲料的熱愛：咖啡。

第三篇：英語文章

大學已經不再特別了

一 有這么一種說法：“要是你能記得20世紀60年代的任何事情，你就沒有真正經歷過那段歲月。”對于在大麻煙霧中度過大學時光的那些人，這話可能是真的。但是，20世紀60年代有一件事人人都記得，那就是：上大學是你一生中最激動人心、最刺激的經歷。

二 20世紀60年代，加州的高校把本州變成了世界第七大經濟實體。然而，加州大學的主校園伯克利分校也以學生示威、罷課以及激進的政治氛圍而著名。1966年，羅納德?里根競選加州州長，他問加州是否允許“一所偉大的大學被喧鬧的、唱反調的少數人征服。”自由派人士回答說，大學之所以偉大正是因為它們有能力容忍喧鬧的、唱反調的少數人。

三在歐洲的大學校園里，大學生以新的姿態和激情投入到爭取自由和正義的事業中去，大規模的社會主義或共產主義運動引發了他們與當權者之間日益升級的暴力沖突。許多抗議是針對越南戰爭的?？墒窃诜▏?，巴黎大學的學生與工會聯盟，發動了一場大罷工，最終導致戴高樂總統辭職。

四20世紀60年代大學生活的特點并不僅僅是激進的行動。不論在什么地方，上大學都意味著你初次品嘗真正自由的滋味，初次品嘗深更半夜在宿舍或學生活動室里討論人生意義的滋味。你往往得上了大學才能閱讀你的第一本禁書，看你的第一部獨立影人電影，或者找到和你一樣癡迷吉米?亨德里克斯或蘭尼?布魯斯的志同道合 者。

那是一段難以想象的自由時光，你一生中最無拘無束的時光。

五 可如今那份激情哪兒去了？大學怎么了？現在，政治、社會和創造意識的覺醒似乎不是憑借大學的助力，而是沖破其阻力才發生的。當然，一點不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英國，布萊爾首相幾乎實現了到2010年讓50％的30歲以下的人上大學的目標（即使憤世嫉俗的人會說，這是要把他們排除在失業統計數據之外）。不過，大學教育已不再是全民重視的話題了。如今，大學被視為人們急于逃離的一種小城鎮。有些人輟學，但大多數已經有些麻木，還是堅持混到畢業，因為離開學校實在是太費事了。

六 沒有了20世紀60年代大學生所發現的令人頭腦發熱的自由氣氛，如今的大學生要嚴肅得多。英國文化協會最近做了一項調查，研究外國留學生在決定上哪所大學時所考慮的因素。這些因素從高到低依次是：課程質量、就業前景、學費負擔、人身安全問題、生活方式，以及各種便利。大學已變成實現目的的手段，是在就業市場上增加就業幾率的一個機會，上大學本身不再是目的，不再是給你提供一個機會，讓你暫時想象一下：你能夠改變世界。

七 童年與大學之間的距離已縮小了，大學與現實世界之間的距離也縮小了。其中的一個原因可能和經濟有關。在一個沒有保障的世界里，現在的許多孩子依賴父母資助的時間比以前的孩子更長。21世紀的學生大學畢業后根本無法自立門戶，因為那太昂貴了。另一個可能的原因是通訊革命。兒子或女兒每學期往家里打一兩回電話的日子一去不復。如今，大學生通過手機與父母保持著臍帶式聯系。至于尋找癡迷無名文學或音樂的同道好友，沒問題，我們有互聯網和聊天室來幫助我們做到這一點。

八 “幸福啊，活在那個黎明之中

九年輕更是如進天堂！”

十 華茲華斯的詩句說的可能是法國大革命，但是對于20世紀60年代的大學生而言，這樣的詩句同樣真實生動。可是為什

么對于如今的大學生來說，它們就不真實了呢？

這位是桑迪

一 我的朋友向生人介紹我的時候，雖然我嘴上從不說什么，但我心里喜歡得很。我喜歡他們說―這位是桑迪——她是聾子‖的時候臉上那副驕傲和榮耀的表情，就好像我證明了他們的仁德善心一樣。我也喜歡生人臉上那瞬間的震驚表情、匆忙的微笑和他們竭力裝出的―正常臉色‖。如果他們這套儀式做得夠好，我就會微微轉過頭，把頭發掖到離他們較近的那只耳朵后面。他們總會說些好話，夸我的粉紅色助聽器，我的朋友們則在一旁燦爛地微笑。

二實際上，我在考慮開始收藏助聽器。它們是比耳環更好的首飾。我曾經看到過一款―一夾得帶罩助聽器的廣告圖片，產品有各種 各樣的形狀和顏色，絕對時髦。那就像我們上高中的時候，埃斯特的爸爸給她買的精美昂貴的手提包一樣。那時，我們其他人只有羨慕的份兒，卻無法仿效，因為我們的老爸沒那么多錢去嬌慣我們。而現在，只有我能戴助聽器。朋友們也就只有羨慕的份兒了。

三 說實話，我挺喜歡耳聾的。在那次車禍和愚蠢的安全氣囊破裂之后的頭幾年，日子不好過，但是現在，耳聾讓我在朋友中顯得很特別。我的好朋友沒有一個是聽力殘障的，因為我不是天生耳聾，在我失去聽覺的時候，我已經有了一個固定的朋友圈。他們中的多數人都熱心積極地參加這場―表演‖。

四 你知道，在你談論朋友時，你會把稱他們為―酒吧侍者德魯‖、―女權主義者卡羅爾‖、―能用舌頭給櫻桃梗打結的家伙格雷格‖等等。我是―聾女桑迪‖。我喜歡這個稱呼。我沒有任何其他突出的個性或能耐。從來沒有過。

五還不僅僅是與眾不同。我確信，假如我不戴粉紅色助聽器的話，我生活中的許多重大事件就不會以同樣的方式發生或產生同樣的結果。例如，跟柯林之的事兒。

六 我初次遇見柯林是在一次公寓派對上。女權主義者卡羅爾給我們彼此做了介紹之后，我把頭發攏到兩耳之后，湊得更近些，不是因為他把那套儀式做得特別好，而是因為他是個情種。誰都能注意到在不可避免的驚訝之后他臉上恢復的微笑。

七 握手后之，我們去拿喝的。在臨時搭建的吧臺和沙發之間的某個 地方，卡羅爾不見了。

八 ―你通常都像這樣讀唇語嗎？還是也用手語？

九 過了一會兒他問。我告訴他說：―我多數時間只讀唇語，因為這比用手語更容易，但這不是我一直盯著你的嘴唇的唯一原因。

十 他大笑起來。我們又說了一會兒話。后來，主人放大音樂的音量，調暗―舞池‖的燈光；我不得不湊近他，很近很近，以便能在昏暗中接著讀他的唇語。我的確讀到了他的唇語。我們照例交換了電話號碼。

十一 一周之后，柯林做了件不可思議的事：他打來了電話。我們出去玩了，發現對方在大白天依然好看，因此彼此感覺滿意。我又讀了更多的唇語。在兩個月之內，柯林和我就開始約會了

上頭條

一 世界各地的媒體都以頭條報道同一新聞的情形并不很常見。這樣的事件得具有巨大的國際影響力。但是這正是2001年9 月恐怖分子襲擊紐約世貿中心雙塔之后發生的情形。從那一刻起世界改變了模樣，這樣說也許并不夸張。

二 但是，使9/11 值得紀念并（用媒體喜歡的話來說）具有新聞價值的不僅僅是它的歷史性和國際性。還有震驚和恐懼。這一消息極度震撼，極具爆炸性。事發多年以后，許 多人還能清楚地記得他們第一次聽到這一消息時身在何處和當時正在做什么。他們能記得自己的反應：對全世界許多人來說，他們的第一本能是去把這一消息告訴別的人。這就證實了那句老話：“壞 事傳千里”。

三 一切重大新聞都是如此。我記得上小學的時候，老師臉色煞白地向一班吃驚的七歲孩子通報說，肯尼迪總統死了。我并不知道肯尼迪總統是誰，但是我聽到這一消息后非常不安，后來就跑回家去告訴了父母（當然，他們已經知道了）。事實上，這是我最早的記憶之一。

四 那么，新聞到底是什么？一個事件光有客觀重要性顯然還不夠——世界上有大量全球性的大問題，都會造成戲劇性的后果，從貧困問題到全球變暖問題——但由于它們都是進行中的，并不都集中在同一天上頭條。對比之下，9/11 不僅具有國際性，而且奇特怪異、出人意料，還（可能使讀者對身陷那場悲劇中的人們的困境感同身受，從這個意義上講）極具人性。

五 奇特怪異并不意味著重大。就拿今天的《中國日報》上關于一只老鼠延誤了一架從越南飛至日本的航班這條消息為例吧。在河內機場有人發現那只老鼠在一架飛機的過道里奔跑。它最終被12 名技術人員合力逮住，他們怕它會咬破電線，造成短路。飛機晚點了四個多小時才起飛。

六 你也許會說，這并不是具有重大國際影響的事件（除了少數乘客到另一國赴約遲到以外）。但是全球卻頗有反響，從亞洲經蘇格蘭到美洲的電子版報紙都有轉載（《愛丁堡晚報》的標題是“捉老鼠延誤航班”）。

七 另一個新聞價值的元素是即時性。這是指事件發生的時間近。一周前發生的事件一般來說就不是新聞了——除非你剛剛讀到它?！昂螘r”是受訓記者常被教導用以勾勒新聞故事的五Wh（何）”問題之一（其余是何人、何事、何地和何故）；今天、今晨、昨天很可能在新聞報道所使用的時間副詞中名列前茅。同樣，即將發生的事件（今天、今晚或今夜）也可能具有新聞價值，雖然，從定義上講，它不出人意外，也就不那么聳人聽聞了。

八 說到即時性，能夠實時播報新聞的媒體，如電視、廣播和互聯網，就比報紙的優勢大多了。眼看著事件在你眼前展開與次晨早餐時在報上讀到它的感覺大不相同。但是，電視新聞未必比報紙報道更客觀或更可靠，因為你在屏幕上看到的圖像是經記者或編輯根據特殊的目的，或至少是按照預定指示篩選過的；它們是從一個獨特的視點展現給觀眾的。

如果把相機移到別的地方，你就會看到另一番景象。這就是為什么人們通常會談到“媒體霸權”——或多或少隱蔽地影響公眾的權力。

九 但也許到了30 世紀，這種權力將有所減弱，或至少下放給普通民眾。個人博客的大量出現，通過像“任你漂流”這樣的網站自我廣播的可能性，以及權限開放網頁（wiki 網）的增長都意味著任何人有任何話要說——或有任何東西要展示——現在都能立刻讓全世界的觀眾看到。

十 當然，這并不意味著報紙和電視即將在一夜之間消失。但是，在永不休止的搜尋有趣新聞——奇特怪異、出人意外和極具人性的新聞——的過程中，它們將越來越多地轉向網站收集資料，為全球信息網提供令人稱奇的具有地方色彩的消息。

第四篇：英語文章

NEWSCASTER:

Humans can be impatient sometimes.We just can't wait to see what will happen in the future, so we're constantly trying to predict it.Wouldn't you like to know what the world will be like in the year 2100?Will technology have changed people's lives for the better or worse?Who knows?

NEWSCASTER:

But it's fun to imagine..We're going to look at three people from history who did just that, visionaries whose imaginations were far ahead of their time and whose predictions, although not always accurate, were certainly always interesting.Leonardo Da Vinci is most famous for works of art such as the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper.However, Da Vinci wasn't just a painter, he was also an engineer, a musician, a biologist, a writer, a mathematician and an inventor.Despite living in the sixteenth century, Da Vinci was able to predict some of the twentieth century's major inventions, even though it would have been impossible, at the time, to have built them.NEWSCASTER:

By studying the flight of birds, Da Vinci designed rudimentary（基本的，初步的）'flying machines'' which, in the twentieth century, would become airplanes, hang gliders（滑翔機）and helicopters（直升機）.In his efforts to help defend the cities in which he lived, he came up with the idea of a tank, a machine gun and a cannon（大炮）.Four hundred years later, as the Industrial Revolution（工業革命）completely changed the face of the western world.HG Wells had only to look around him to think of the possible implications for the future.Regarded as the Father of Science Fiction, Wells became famous for his futuristic（未來主義的）stories, such as The War of the Worlds, in which Martians attack London, or The Time Machine, about a man who time travels to the year AD 802701.NEWSCASTER:

It was in his 1901 book Anticipations（預測，期待）, however, that HG Wells made his more realistic, and accurate, predictions about the future.He wrote, for example, that in the future every country in the world would have huge highways on which thousands of cars and trucks drove back and forth.This prediction has certainly come true.Another writer who predicted the impact technology would have on the world was Philip K.Dick.NEWSCASTER:

Since his death in 1982, Dick has become famous due to many of his stories being made into science fiction movies.In the film Blade runner, for example, robots who look just like humans, begin to learn human emotions and try to find out about the origin of their life.In Total Recall, travel companies give you an adventure holiday by implanting（移植）synthetic（人造的，合成的）memories into your brain.And, in A Scanner Darkly, the government uses state of the art surveillance（監督）equipment to monitor the lives of its people.It seems unlikely that we'll see UFO's invade（侵略，入侵）the earth, a time machine, or robots that look exactly the same as humansbut as the drawings of Da Vinci prove, given enough time, and the right technology, even the most fantastic of ideas can come true.POLITICIAN:

Around eight hundred million people on the planet don't have enough food.Every minute you listen to me speak, ten children under the age of six will die of hunger.A solution to this problem has existed since the end of the twentieth century, but the solution has been highly controversial in some parts of the world: genetically modified, or GM food.There is a solution to world hunger, but it's not GM food.To end world hunger, First World countries like America, Britain, France and Germany have to consume less, and give the surplus to Third World countries.POLITICIAN:

Genetic modification on the other hand, presents so many dangers that, if we're not careful, it could destroy the world as we know it!By modifying a plant or animal's genomes, genetic engineers can increase or decrease qualities already inherent in the DNA.Crops for example can be altered to become more resistant to drought or more resistant to attack from insect thereby reducing the need for pesticides.GM crops could be useful in the fight against world hunger, but the issue is: are these 'Frankenstein foods'' safe?If you alter the genetic makeup of a plant, how do you know that it's safe to eat?

POLITICIAN:

There is absolutely no proof to say that genetically modified foods are dangerous.In fact, ninety per cent of soya sold in the US, for example, is genetically modified.Another issue of concern is that of the impact a genetically modified plant or animal could have on our environment.Consider this: what if the GM plant or animalescapes into the wild?Some governments already permit GM crops to be grown and are carefully controlled and monitored, genetically modified animals or plants should therefore pose little problem.POLITICIAN:

Some years ago, over a hundred thousand genetically modified salmon escaped from a fish farm in the US.Can you imagine these 'Super Salmon'?Bigger, faster, stronger, eating everything and destroying all the natural animal and plant life in the rivers..GM technology allows us to produce cheaper and better food.Furthermore, we can produce food in greater quantities than ever before.GM foods provide us with a viable solution to deal with the demand of climate change and population growth.POLITICIAN:

Tinkering with nature and unleashing super weeds and super salmon onto the planet may ultimately lead to one of the biggest man made disasters ever.Immigration

ADVENTURER:

During the twentieth century, the world underwent(經驗)continuous change as empires crumbled（崩潰，破碎，粉碎）and small nations asserted（宣稱）their independence.In the twenty first century, however, we're faced with a different kind of change and with this change comes a difficult and controversial（有爭議的）question: as our world becomes increasingly globalized can a country still maintain some kind of 'national identity'?'National identity'' can be thought of as the rituals（典禮，宗教儀式）, traditions and beliefs of the people of a nation.However, as the demographics（人口統計資料）of countries change due to immigration and emigration, the concept of national identity is itself undergoing a complex change.On the one hand, those who leave their home and move to another country have an already well established（確認）identity（身份）, based on race, language, religion, history, food, clothing and music that they bring to their new country.ADVENTURER:

On the other hand, residents（居民）of a country feel their nation's identity changing due to the different customs and beliefs of immigrants.This mixing up of different kinds of people living in the same country is called 'multiculturalism'.And the topic of debate in many

multicultural societies is that of national identity when so many cultures do exist side by side.What is it that really defines our national identity?Think of the country where you live or in which you were born.ADVENTURER:

What would you say were the things that define it, define you?Language, food, tradition?Yet, is there anything deeper than these factors that could bring people together?Is there a way of looking at different cultures, different kinds of people, and seeing the similarities, instead of the differences?The French national flag is made up of red, white and blue, colors which represent the values 'liberty', 'equality'' and 'fraternity'.ADVENTURER:

If these are truly taken to heart then we can see how different people with different lifestyles, behaviors can begin to coexist（共存，和平共處）.Think about the nation where you live or in which you were born.What are the values that bind everyone together?Are they changing?What values would you like your new, 21st century national identity to include?

PROFESSOR:

Confucius a man known around the world for his philosophies and teachings may also be credited with how countries around the world operate.The Confucian attitude towards education was that there were no class distinctions-education was for all.This fundamental belief of

fairness for all paved the way for the revolutionary idea of meritocracy.In Ancient China, following periods of war, the need for governance was crucial.Thousand's of bureaucrats were needed to carry out

administrative duties.PROFESSOR:

It was at this point that the Imperial Exam was set up, to identify those who could read and write and carry out administrative duties and best suited to a life in the civil service.At its peak, the highest level Imperial Exam was a nine day and night ordeal, examining candidates on their understanding of the Chinese Classics, Confucian values and strict writing styles.Because of the demands of the exam, those who sat it were held in high regard and were awarded with a certain degree of power.In the reign of Emperor Kang Xi, candidates questioned the examiners'' marking methods and how impartial the examiners had been.The Emperor became dissatisfied with the Chief Examiner's methods and assigned Prince Yong Zheng to assist with remarking.PROFESSOR:

This led to the reinstatement of a rigorous method insuring against favoritism.Once completed, a bureaucrat was assigned to write an ID number on the exam paper.Another was attributed with the task of sticking paper over the name.Once copied word for word in red ink, another bureaucrat had to check to see that the two exam papers were identical.Once it was certain that the papers were identical, the original copy was filed and the red ink version was passed to one of two examiners.PROFESSOR:

That's quite a lot of work.The effect of the exam on Chinese society was huge, encouraging cultural conformity at many levels of society.In some cases, people re sat the exam right up into their 70's and 80's.Various countries, including Korea, Japan, England, France and the United States, adopted this system in different forms.The paperwork involved would have been inordinate.PROFESSOR:

From 1646 until 1904 more than 26700 candidates sat the very highest level exam and some records show that around a million people sat the different level exams held every three years.If you multiply these numbers by the people required to administer the exam, as well as the paper work involved, the number of man hours needed for the selection of civil servants really begins to escalate.It's a matter

Best Way to Know a Strange City熟悉陌生城市的最好方法（14日周一）

I was in a strange city and I didn't know the city at all.What is more, I could not speak a word of the language.我在一個陌生的城市里并對這座城市一無所知。更糟糕的是當地話我一句也不會說。After having spent my first day in the duanwenw.com center, I decided to lose my way on the second day, since I believed that this was the nearest way of getting to know the strange city.第一天我在市中心待了一天,第二天我決定迷路,因為我相信迷路是了解一座陌生城市的最快辦法。

I got on first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops.Then got off it and walked on.The first two hours passed pleasantly enough.Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch.After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way.The trouble was that the only word I know of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that I pronounced badly.我上了第一輛路過的公交車,坐了幾站地后下車步行。前兩個小時非常愉快地過去了,然后我決定返回旅館吃午飯。走了一段時間之后我想我還是問問路吧?？蓡栴}是我唯一會說的一個詞就是我所住的街道的名稱,并且發音還很糟糕。

I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller.He smiled and handed me a paper.I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands.I gave him some money and went on my way.The next person I asked was a policeman.The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm.There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and duanwenw.com left again.I nodded politely and began walking in the point.我停下來去問一個長得比較友善的賣報人,他微笑著拿給我一份報紙,我揺揺頭又重復了一遍我住的街道的名稱,他卻把報紙放到我手里,我給了他錢,繼續走我的路。我同的第二個人是個警察,他仔細聽我說,微笑著并很溫和地拉起我的胳膊,他的眼里流露出一種奇怪的神情,他指左指右又指左。我禮貌地點了點頭按他指的方向走去。

About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer And green fields were appearing in either side of me.I had come all the way into countryside.The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.大約一小時以后我發現周圍的房屋越來越少,兩邊開始出現一片片綠野,我一路來到了鄉下?，F在我唯一能做的事就是找到最近的火車站了。

母愛英語短文：Side Stepping躲到一邊(18日周五)

The photo album worn and old is sitting on the pile.She flips the cover open just to reminisce awhile.On the first page there she is, a baby in her lap, her son when he was one year old;she smiles as she thinks back.That was taken in the park where she took him to play.Funny how it sometimes seems like only yesterday.But other times it seems those days are distant memories.And all we have reminding us are pictures such as these.雜物上放著一本陳舊的相冊。她輕輕地翻開,僅僅是打算回憶片刻。第一張是她一歲的小寶寶坐在她的腿上。她面帶微笑地回想著。這張是她帶他在公園玩時照的,奇怪的是,這笑容依稀是在昨天,但那些日子卻已是遙遠的記憶。能讓我們再次回味的也只有這些照片了。

She sees a picture of him with his second birthday cake, duanwenw.com and smiles as she remembers of the face that he would make.When trying to blow out the candles he would have a fit.He tried so hard to blow them out but they would all stay lit.So Mom came to the rescue with a waving of her hand.The same time that he blew on it she waved a little fan.She smiles as she thinks back at all the things when he first tried, when she would lend a helping hand and then just step aside.她看到一張兒子和他兩歲時的生日蛋糕的相片,記起他常常做的鬼臉。當他準備好使勁吹蠟燭時,卻怎么也吹不滅,于是媽媽過來幫助他,揮了一下手。在他又吹蠟燭時,她輕輕煽了一下。她微笑著回想著他所有的第一次,她幫助了他,又躲到了一邊。

She sees a picture of him standing holding his first bike, and smiles when thinking how he said, “It’s harder than a trick.’’ But she would run behind him holding on while he would ride, until he got his balance and then she would step aside.她又看到一張兒子緊握著他的第一輛自行車的照片,當她想到兒子說’這比惡作劇難’時不禁笑了。但是當他騎車時,她就跟在他的后面扶著他跑,直到他掌握了平衡,她才躲到一邊。
