A Letter to the University President
about the Goods Promotion on Campus April 21, 2006
Dear Mr.President，Nowadays the goods promotion on campus is on the rise.When you are taking a nap on the dormitory, you will be disturbed by knocks on the door by a salesman.Most of those goods promoted are of poor quality.Worse still, this poses a potential danger on the security of the dormitory.Why is the goods promotion so pervasive on campus? Firstly, many salesmen believe that college students are naive and can be easily deceived.Secondly, a number of students, especially the freshmen, are in great need of various necessities at the beginning of each semester.Thirdly, some students want to take part-time jobs and earn some money.As for this kind of phenomenon, I’d like to put forward some suggestions.On the one hand, those professional salesmen should not be allowed to enter the dormitory to promote their goods.On the other hand, no promotion activity should be allowed during noon break.I hope in this way our campus life will be left undisturbed.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Letter of Application for a School Loan.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

College Graduates Work as Village Officials
Nowadays many college graduates choose to work as village officials in the remote areas.To this, people’s attitudes differ sharply.Some hold the positive view while others are against it.As far as I am concerned, I believe that it is a wise choice.Above all, college graduates can contribute a lot to the development of the countryside.First, they can apply their professional knowledge there.Secondly, they can introduce new concepts to the countryside and speed the development of rural culture.As a result, the gap between the city and the countryside can well be bridged.In addition, these graduates can benefit a lot from working as village officials.While too many college graduates are fighting for the handful of positions in big cities, these graduates can find themselves a wider stage of development and realize their value.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: How to Keep Psychologically Healthy.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

One in four people will experience some kind of mental health problem in the course of a year.When you fail to manage to control these problems, they are likely to cause various mental illnesses and, as a result of physiological imbalance, physical illnesses.You may not be able to live a normal life, let alone a fulfilling one.The causes of mental health problems often vary a lot from one case to another.In today’ society, a good number of people are suffering from heavy pressure.Others are lacking in communication skills and feel they are living in an isolated world.In addition, a lot of people are ignorant of psychological knowledge about how to keep mentally fit.There are a lot of ways to curb mental health problems and keep psychologically healthy.Firstly, find the real cause of your mental health problem and see whether you can do something to make a change.Secondly, learn to relax yourself and take exercise to release the pressure.After all, your health is what counts most.Lastly, you may find it helpful to talk to your partner, a relative or a friend about your problems, or seek support and advice from a psychological consultant.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On a Harmonious Dormitory Life.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

【范文】
On a Harmonious Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life.But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory will be disturbed in one way or another.For example, some members listen to music late into the night and make those light sleepers restless.Worse still, the smell of some students socks is powerful enough to drive other members out of the room.As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members.On one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study.On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.In contrast, an unharmonious life will be depressing and counterproductive.There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life.Firstly, you have to evaluate your life style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any.Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and coexist.Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the purpose of good study and good life.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic How to Deal with Sub health.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

How to Deal with Sub health
With the modernization of the world, people’ standard of living has improved a lot.Then there appears a state of sub health among people which poses a new threat to them.There are some typical symptoms for people who are in a state of sub health.First of all, those who suffer from it often have a headache or backache.Secondly, they feel like having a rest frequently.What upsets us most is that, the situation is spreading countrywide.As a result, more and more workers in big cities are harassed by it, with a percentage of 75 in Beijing, 72 in Shanghai and 70 in Guangzhou respectively.Then how can we solve this problem effectively? Experts suggest that the best way to keep us healthy is to do exercises.It is also very important that people should form a good living habit, for example, getting up early and going to sleep early.Only doing so can we keep us healthy.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Study under a Work study Program.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

Study under a Work study Program
Nowadays more and more college students are taking part time jobs as they have more time at their disposal.Some are eager to gain experience and improve their practical skills.Others want to earn some money and relieve the financial burden on their families.But every coin has two sides.On the one hand, part time jobs do much good for us.We can develop our skills and improve our material life as well.On the other hand, we may not be able to put our heart into study in the “gold rush”.Worse still, those who fail to resist the temptation from society will take a wrong road, and even end up in prison.In conclusion, the outcome of study under a work study program depends on how we handle it.We should allot plenty of time to our study, keeping in mind that study should have priority over anything else for us college students, and money is not our purpose but a means to provide us with comfort.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Job searching Experience.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese:

A Job searching Experience
Last Friday my English teacher told me that one of her friends was looking for an English governess.I asked for her friend name and phone number and determined to seize the chance.I was a little bit nervous when I went to the woman house.I was told that the talk between us that day would decide whether I could take the job.However, when the woman, Lucy as she was called, welcomed me into her house, I felt much relaxed.I thought as long as I was sincere and friendly I would perform well.The conversation went on smoothly.She seemed much more interested in my habits and hobbies than how good I was at English.Then it seemed that I did the most talking that day.I told her about my family and school life.Obviously I succeeded and from then on I went to teach her English every weekend.Lucy told me later that it was my sincerity that makes her willingly accept me.It is true that there are many tips while seeking for a job, but remember to be sincere.It’s the secret of my success.7

大學英語四級作文練習-記敘文
距離2012年6月份的英語四級考試越來越近，考生應在有限的時間內做好大學英語四級作文練習，在此為大家整理記敘文的思路及大學英語四級作文范文。
大學英語四級作文練習之記敘文的思路與練習
記敘文是以敘述人物的經歷和事物的發展變化過程為主要表現形式的一種文體。記敘文既可以以寫人為主，又可以以寫事為主。寫記敘文要注意記敘文的“六大要素”即：
時間(When)—— 何時發生，有沒有具體時間?
地點(Where)—— 何地發生，有沒有地點變化?
人物(Who)—— 何人參與，誰是主角?
事件(What)—— 發生了什么，有何特點?
原因(Why)—— 事件的起因?
結果(How)—— 事件的經過及結局?
一般說來，在一篇記敘文中這六大要素是缺一不可的。記敘文的思路就圍繞這六大要素充分展開。
【例】四級考試中，只出現過一次專門的記敘文體裁的寫作，即“An Early Morning Walk”(1988.6.)，2003年6月出現過包含記敘文的作文，即“An Eye-Witness Account of a Traffic Accident”。
對于“An Early Morning Walk”，知道命題要求后，我們就要開始構思了。
When：題目已規定了是“清晨”，在這個時候，“我”去散步。Where：到哪兒散步?去公園?在校園里?在街上(街上空氣不好，還是不去!)。
Who：在公園里看到晨練的人：中老年人、年輕人、小孩子;在校園里看到讀書背單詞的學生。
What：人們熱火朝天地做操，隨音樂跳舞，打球，等等。
Why：清晨空氣清新，適合鍛煉;一日之際在于晨，背背書，讀讀單詞。
當然，由這個題目可以令人想到很多東西，因篇幅所限，我們做了刪減。
大學英語四級作文范文
An Early Morning Walk
One morning I got up very early，and everything around was very quiet.The sun had just risen，shining brilliantly and everything seemed to be covered with a layer of golden silk.There were only some birds singing occasionally in the tall trees.I strolled along the street toward the park，breathing the fresh air and feeling extremely happy.When I arrived at the park，I found，to my surprise，that there were so many people there.Men and women，boys and girls，all were enjoying themselves in their various activities.Some were doing morning exercises，some were playing badminton and some old people were having their tea while talking to each other cheerfully.I wandered around the park.To my delight，I found a few
middle-school students talking to each other in English in one corner of the park.I went up and spoke to them in English.We soon became friends.I was very glad to find another opportunity to practice my spoken English.On the way home，I realized that an early morning walk really was good and healthful.Taking early morning walks makes one healthy and wise.

世界貿易組織成立于1995年1月1日，目的是確保一個穩定的全球和貿易經濟環境。在當今世界上的190多個國家中，世界貿易組織的成員國(member country)有158個。在處理國家之間的貿易規則方面，世界貿易組織是唯一的全球性國際組織。世貿組織的事務應該引起我們的關注，因為世貿組織制定的規則對我們國家的經濟和國民生活都有一定的影響。The WTO(World Trade Organization),established on January 1, 1995, aims to ensure a stable trade and economic world environment.The WTO is an association of 158 member countries, of more than 190 countries in the world today.The WTO is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations.The business of the WTO should be of interest to us because the rules that are being decided therein have an impact on our national economy, and peoples lives.2 奧運會是國際性的體育盛會(sporting events)，體育項目種類繁多，分為夏冬兩季，均是每4年舉辦一次。最初有記載的奧運會于公元前776年在希臘的奧林匹亞(Olympia)舉行。奧運會是最大的媒體活動之一。2000年悉尼奧運會上，有超過1.6萬名播音員和新聞記者參與報道。據估計，有38億觀眾通過電視收看了此屆盛會。然而，奧運會的發展也是奧運會面臨的一個大問題。
The Olympic Games are an international multisport event subdivided into summer and winter sporting events.The summer and winter games are each held every four years.The original Olympic Games were first recorded in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece.The Olympics are one of the largest media events.In Sydney in 2000 there were more than 16 000 broadcasters and journalists, and an estimated 3.8 billion viewers watched the games on television.However, the development of the Olympics is one of the largest problems the Olympics face today.3 《三國演義》由羅貫中創作于14世紀，是一部中國歷史題材小說。小說以漢朝末年和三國時期的歷史演變為背景，敘述了在這個動蕩(turbulent)時期發生的一系列重大事情。整個故事情節從公元168年開始一直到公元280年領土統一(reunification)時結束。小說篇幅長達80萬字，分為120個章節，共描述了1 191個人物角色，堪稱中國文學史上四大經典小說之一。
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written by Luo Guanzhong in the 14th century, is a Chinese historical novel based upon events in the turbulent years near the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, starting in AD 168 and ending with the reunification of the land in AD 280.It is acclaimed as one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature, with a grand total of 800 000 words, 1 191 characters, and 120 chapters.4 秧歌舞(Yangko)是中國漢族的一種傳統民間舞蹈，通常在北方省份表演。秧歌舞者通常穿上明亮多彩的表演服裝(costume)，他們的表演動作有力而迅速。在農歷春節、元宵節等節日期間，人們一旦聽到鑼(gong)鼓聲，不管外面天氣有多冷，他們都會蜂擁到街上觀看秧歌舞表演。近年來，中國東北某些城市的老年人自發組織了秧歌隊，隊員常年通過跳秧歌舞來保持健康，同時他們也樂在其中。The Yangko dance is a traditional folk dance of the Han Chinese, commonly performed in the northern provinces.Yangko dancers usually wear bright and colorful costumes, and their movements are vigorous and quick.During holidays such as lunar New Year and the Lantern Festival, as soon as people hear the sound of drums and gongs they swarm into the streets to watch Yangko dance performances, no matter how cold it is outside.In recent years, elderly people in some cities in Northeast China have been organizing themselves into Yangko teams, with the dancers mostly enjoying themselves while keeping fit all year round.5 中國人喜歡在一起吃飯，這個傳統可以追溯到很久之前。這反映出中國人喜歡團圓、不愿分離的觀念——圓桌、圓盤、圓碗都象征著團圓和美滿。盤子通常放在桌子的中央,這樣坐在桌子面前的所有人都可以吃得到。一鍋熱湯尤其可以增加和諧、團圓的氣氛。朋友們也喜歡在一起吃飯、生活。最近一位美國漢學家(Sinologist)的著作認為，中國人的集體觀念(collective tradition)就是從一同吃飯發展而來的。
Chinese like to eat together, which is a tradition that can be traced back a long time ago.It reflects the Chinese notion of union versus division—round tables, round dishes, and round bowls all symbolize union and perfection.Dishes are usually placed at the center of the table so that everyone around the table can share them.A hot pot, in particular, adds to the atmosphere of harmony and union.Friends also like to eat and live together.A recent book by an American Sinologist held that the Chinese collective tradition developed out of the practice of eating together.6 川劇(Sichuan Opera)就像四川火鍋以及其他的名菜一樣動人、豐富。變臉(Face Changing)是川劇中的一大亮點。據說古人在他們的臉上作畫，[JP2]以便趕走野生動物。川劇吸收了這一古老的技藝并將其升華為一門藝術。變臉是一門神奇的藝術。演員在不到20秒的時間內要換十多次臉譜。通過舉手、擺袖或搖頭，演員使用不同的臉譜來表現不同的情緒，并通過看得見摸得著的臉譜表達出看不見摸不著的感情。
Sichuan Opera(Chuan Ju), like hotpot and other famous Sichuan dishes, is exciting and rich.Face Changing is the highlight of Sichuan Opera.It is said that ancient people painted their faces to drive away wild animals.Sichuan Opera absorbs this ancient skill and perfects it into an art.Face Changing is a magical art.Actors change more than 10 masks in less than 20 seconds.By raising the hand, swinging a sleeve or tossing the head, an actor uses different masks to show different emotions, expressing invisible and intangible feelings through visible and tangible masks.7 長城作為世界上最偉大的奇觀之一，是古代中國在不同時期為抵御北方游牧民族（nomadic tribe）侵襲而修筑的規模浩大的軍事工程的統稱。如同巨龍一般，長城自東向西綿延8 800多公里。距今已有2 000多年歷史的萬里長城很多地方已經變成了廢墟，但是它仍然是世界上最具吸引力的地方。1987年，長城被聯合國教科文組織（UNESCO）列為世界文化遺產。The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders in the world, is the general name of a series of largescale military constructions during different periods in ancient China, hoped for the defense against the invasion of nomadic tribes from the north.Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall stretches over 8 800 kilometers from east to west of China.With a history of more than 2 000 years, many sections of the Great Wall have been in ruins now.However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world.In 1987, the Great Wall was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.8 光棍節，又稱“雙十一”，最初是由大學生發起的單身人士的情人節，現在已經從最初的慶祝單身變成了中國人的一個網購狂歡節。過去六年里，中國的電商（ecommerce）巨頭們開始利用這一商機，通過打折促銷吸引顧客，提高銷售收入。天貓(Tmall.com)雙十一一天的銷售額從2009年的5 000萬飆升至2013年的350億。郵政部門（the State Post Bureau）表示由于準備充分，盡管訂單增加，快遞業務仍然運行正常。
Singles Day, also named the Double 11 Day, which originated with college students as an alternative to Valentines Day for single people, now has transformed its original function as a day of celebration for the great unloved into a day of crazy online shopping for the Chinese people.Over the past six years, Singles Day has been taken advantage of by Chinese ecommerce giants by offering discounts and launching sales campaigns on that day to attract customers and boost sales income.Sales at Tmall.com on Singles Day have snowballed from 50 million yuan in 2009 to 35 billion yuan in 2013.The State Post Bureau said that thanks to adequate preparation, express deliveries were running on schedule despite the increase in orders.9 對于中國人來說，“面子”十分重要，它指的是一個人根源于自尊的名譽觀。大部分中國人都認為，有面子是最重要的事情之一，丟面子則會帶來巨大的痛苦。因此，人們必須了解并遵守面子規則，如果違反就會受到嚴厲的懲罰。然而，有時候一個人丟面子不僅僅是因為他們的行為不符合社會的要求，還可能是由于別人的行為沒有符合他個人的期待。
Face is immensely important for the Chinese.It can be defined as a notion of ones reputation rooted in selfesteem.Most of the Chinese people believe that to have face is one of the most valued things, while to lose face is a cause of great anguish.Thus, people are expected to know and abide by the rules of face and are penalized harshly if they break them.However, sometimes a person could lose face not only because of his failure to match up to societys obligations on him, but also from the failure of others to act in accordance with his expectations of them.武術在我國源遠流長，是中國傳統文化的瑰寶(gem)。我們知道，一個民族的優秀文化遺產不僅僅屬于一個民族，它會逐漸傳播到世界的其他地方而成為人類的共同財富。為了更好地推廣武術，使其與奧運項目接軌，中國武協和國際武聯(the Chinese Wushu Association and the International Wushu Federation)做了艱苦卓絕的工作。現在武術已被列為一種與保齡球(bowling)和國際標準舞(international standard dance)有同等地位的奧運表演項目。
With a long history in China, wushu is a gem of Chinese traditional culture.As we all know, the excellent cultural heritage of a nation doesnt belong to the nation alone but will be spread to the rest of the world gradually to be shared by all humanity.The Chinese Wushu Association and the International Wushu Federation have been working very hard to popularize wushu and move it closer to the Olympic events.Now, wushu has been accepted as an Olympic demonstration event with the same status as bowling and international standard dance.11 旗袍(Qipao)是中國獨特的傳統服飾。旗袍原本是滿族(Manchu)婦女的服裝，穿在身上非常寬松，直上直下，中間沒有腰線。后來一些漢族的女性對這種服飾進行了改造，使它更加合身、性感。20世紀20年代，旗袍在上海的女學生中變得非常流行。旗袍一般是由絲綢制成，領口、袖口和腋襟上都繡有精細的花邊。旗袍體現了中國女性的端莊、溫柔和美麗。
Qipao is a unique kind of traditional Chinese attire.Originally worn by Manchu women, Qipao fitted loosely and hung straight down the body with no waistlines.And then some Han Chinese ladies carried out some improvements on the design, making it more fitting and sexier.When it came to the 1920s, Qipao became very popular among the girl students in Shanghai.Qipao is usually made of silk, and embroidered with delicate laces at the neckline, cuffs and edges.Qipao embodies Chinese womens modesty, softness and beauty.中國石窟(grotto)主要反映的是佛教文化藝術。敦煌莫高窟、大同云岡石窟、洛陽龍門石窟、天水麥積山石窟，號稱中國四大石窟藝術景觀。佛教石窟隨山雕鑿、彩繪，形象生動自然，將崇高美(sublimity)與世俗情(secular feeling)融為一體，把天然造化與人工創造有機結合，是由建筑、繪畫、雕塑等組成的博大精深、絢麗奪目的綜合藝術殿堂。其藝術成就為世界所矚目，已成為重要的世界文化遺產。
Chinese grottoes mainly reflect the art of Buddhist culture.In China, there are four major art landscapes of grottoes: the Mogao Grottoes at Dunhuang, the Yungang Grottoes at Datong, the Longmen Grottoes at Luoyang, and the Maijishan Grottoes at Tianshui.Carved and painted on mountains, the Buddhist grottoes mingle both sublimity and secular feelings together, presenting us a vivid and natural appearance.They embody the systematic combination of both the exceptional artistry of great nature and the extremely fine craftsmanship of mankind.The Chinese Buddhist grottoes are regarded as a profound and stunning general art gallery, displaying the art of architecture, painting, sculptures and etc.The artistic achievements of Chinese grottoes have attracted the attention of the world, and have become an important international cultural heritage.13 中國古典文學包括詩歌、散文、小說及詞(ci)、賦(fu)、曲(qu)等多種文體，藝術表現手法豐富各異。小說歷史悠久，并在明清時期達到巔峰。小說中的《三國演義》《水滸傳》《西游記》《紅樓夢》被稱為中國四大古典文學名著，至今在國內外都有著廣泛而深遠的影響。研讀四大名著能夠了解中國傳統人文社會、民俗，是汲取古代文明精粹、處世為人策略與智慧的重要途徑。
Chinese classical literature includes poetry, prose, fiction, and ci(new lyrics written to preexisting tunes), fu(“descriptive poems” of prosepoetry), qu(a freer form based on the new popular songs and dramatic arias), and many other styles.Its artistic expressions are various in techniques.Chinese fiction has a long history, reaching its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Four classics of Chinese literature are Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Pilgrimage to the West, and A Dream of Red Mansions, which have extensive and farreaching significance both on a national and international level.Through reading “the four famous novels” carefully, you can understand traditional Chinese society and human culture, and its folklore.And it is an important way to absorb the quintessence of ancient culture as well as to pick up strategies and wisdom on how to get along with others.14 泰山(Mount Tai)位于山東中部，占地426平方千米，最高峰“玉皇頂(the Jade Emperor Peak)”海拔約1 545米。泰山以恢宏的自然景觀著稱于世，山上點綴著寺廟、石碑和石刻(stone inscription)。身為中國五大名山之首，泰山備受佛教(Buddhism)和道教(Taoism)的推崇。中國的很多皇帝都曾到泰山敬拜天地。傳統觀念認為泰山是每天太陽最先升起的地方。因此為了到泰山之巔看日出，成千上萬的人午夜就開始攀登泰山。
Located in central Shandong Province, Mount Tai covers 426 square kilometers with its highest peak, the Jade Emperor Peak, reaching about 1 545 meters above sea level.Mount Tai earns a reputation for its imposing natural scenery festooned with a chain of temples, stone tablets and stone inscriptions.As the first of the “Five Great Mountains” in China, Mount Tai is revered both in Buddhism and Taoism.Many emperors in China visited it to hold the Heaven Worship ceremony.Traditional belief maintains that each day begins with the sun rising at Mount Tai, thus thousands of sun worshipers climbed it from as early as midnight in order to appreciate sunrise at its peak.中國古代四大藝術中的“畫”特指國畫。其繪畫形式是用毛筆蘸墨、顏料作畫于絹或宣紙之上，古代稱之為水墨丹青(inkpainting)。為區別于西方的油畫而稱之為中國畫，簡稱“國畫”。其題材有人物、山水、花鳥等。技法可分為工筆(fine brushwork)和寫意(freehand brushwork)。國畫的藝術特質在于“筆墨”，強調以形寫神，畫盡意在。國畫在藝術創作上反映了中華民族的審美意識和情趣。
Painting in the four art forms in ancient China particularly refers to traditional Chinese painting.Traditional Chinese painting is done with a brush dipped into black or colored ink and is painted on spun silk or xuan paper.In ancient China, it was called inkpainting.In order to distinguish it from Western oilpaintings, the Chinese people term their works “Chinese painting”, short for traditional Chinese painting.The subject matters of Chinese paintings are typically figures, landscapes, birds and flowers.The drawing skills and techniques employed by the Chinese painters can be divided into two forms: fine brushwork and freehand brushwork.The artistic characteristics of Chinese painting lie in “the writing brush and ink”.Chinese painting emphasizes using the shape to convey the feelings of the painter.Even though a painting is a finished product, it endlessly conveys a meaning.In terms of the artistic creation, Chinese painting is a reflection of the aesthetic consciousness and artistic sentiment of the Chinese people.16 瓷器(porcelain)是中國最為重要的手工藝品之一。中國瓷器有3 500多年的歷史，明清時期尤其繁榮。瓷器不僅可以用作日常餐具(dinnerware)、花瓶等，精美的瓷器更是常常被人們用來裝飾家居。作為高檔藝術品的象征，真品瓷器常常具有極高的藝術價值和經濟價值，因此，常被很多人視為珍藏品。中國瓷器受到各國人民的歡迎，經常被用作表達中外友誼的禮物。Porcelains are one of Chinas most important handicrafts.Chinese porcelains have a history of more than 3 500 years, their most prosperous period being Ming and Qing Dynasties.Porcelains can be used as daily dinnerware and vases, and delicate porcelains are even commonly used for home decorations by people.As the symbols of highend works of art, authentic porcelains are often of extremely high artistic and economic value and therefore they are often regarded as precious collections by many people.Chinese porcelains are popular with people around the world, and they are often used as presents for expressing friendship between Chinese and foreign people.17 酒是中國人生活中的重要飲品之一。中國制酒源遠流長，享譽中外。在中國最具有代表性的酒莫過于白酒(liquor)了，從某種角度上來說，中國的酒文化就是白酒文化。酒在中國人眼里更多的是一種交際的工具。酒在中國人生活中占有重要的位置，滲透于(permeate)整個中華五千年的文明史中，包括文學創作、娛樂、烹飪、養生保健等各方面。
Alcohol is one of the important drinks in Chinese peoples life.Chinese alcoholmaking has a long history and has been renowned at home and abroad.In China, no alcohol is more representative than Chinese liquor and at some point, Chinese alcohol culture is Chinese liquor culture.Alcohol is more of a communication tool in Chinese peoples eyes.Alcohol has permeated 5 000 years civilization of the whole Chinese history, which plays an important role in every aspect of Chinese peoples life, from literary creation and entertainment to cooking and health preservation.18 11月11日由四個1構成，因此每年此日就是光棍節(Singles Day)。20世紀90年代，南京眾多大學首先開始慶祝光棍節。正如其名，這個新節日是專門為單身人士設立的。近年來，中國成為世界上互聯網用戶最多的國家，而單身人士是網購的主力軍(main force)，許多電子商務平臺(platform)就在光棍節當天開展促銷活動以吸引中國不計其數的單身人士前來購物。目前，光棍節已成為中國人瘋狂網購的日子。
Singles Day falls on every November 11th because the date is comprised of four “ones”.It was initially celebrated at many universities in Nanjing during the 1990s.As the name indicates, this new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living a single life.In recent years, as China has become a country with the worlds biggest population of Internet users and the single people are the main force of Chinas online spending power, many ecommerce platforms launch promotion campaigns on the day in order to attract countless single people around China to their websites.Singles Day has become a day of crazy online shopping among the Chinese now.19 隨著城市化(urbanization)進程的加快，越來越多的農民工(migrant worker)在城市里安頓下來。他們把子女接到城里來，希望孩子能接受到更好的教育。然而，這些農民工發現現實并不像他們預期的那么美好。城市公立學校的設施和師資遠遠不能滿足大批農民工子女的需求。幸運的是，農民工子女的教育已成為政府議事日程上優先處理的問題。
With the acceleration of urbanization, an increasing number of migrant workers settle down in the cities.They bring their children along with them to the cities, with the hope of their children receiving better education.However, the migrants find the reality is not as promising as theyve expected.The facilities and faculties in the urban public schools are far from enough to meet the needs of the big group of migrant children.Luckily, the education problem of the migrant children has become a priority on the governments agenda.20 杭州市擁有世界上最大的公用自行車系統(bike sharing system)。目前杭州市共有2 700個公用自行車租賃站點，共計66 500輛車。計劃至2020年，公共自行車的數量將增至175 000輛。租用自行車需要智能卡(smart card)，可在任意站點租車、在任意站點還車。租車騎行1小時內免費，1小時以上則按每小時1元收費。公用自行車系統對緩解杭州市的交通擁堵(congestion)起到了很大的作用。
With 66 500 bikes in 2 700 renting stations in the city now, Hangzhou owns the largest bike sharing system in the world.It plans to increase to 175 000 bikes by 2020.For renting a bike, one needs a smart card.One can rent a bike and return it at any station.Bike users can ride for free for the first hour and pay 1 yuan per hour for the extra time.The system is of great help to relieve the traffic congestion in Hangzhou city.
