Unit 1Translation of Text如何应对恭维H·艾伦·史密斯尽管我确信蓄胡子会使我更加气度不凡，走在大街上会使女性发笑，但我从不留胡子，原因是我不敢冒险，因为哪怕蓄一点点胡子也很危险，它会招来别人的恭维。
例如，如果一位女士走到我跟前，说道：“你的胡子最迷人，”我会无所适从，不知怎样回答才好。
我可能会惊慌得脱口而出：“我也喜欢您的胡子。
”在社会交往中，应对恭维比对付辱骂要艰难得多，这话听起来有点矛盾，却有一定的道理。
闲聊时来句恭维话，往往让我们大多数人不知所措。
例如，有人对我们说上一句动听、赞美的话，我们就慌得说不出话来，膝盖开始瑟瑟发抖。
如果别人称赞不是真正属于我自己的东西时，我根本无法欣然接受。
我家住在一个小山上，俯瞰山下一片宽广的谷地。
来访者惊叹道：“天哪！你这儿的景色太美了！”整个山谷原本就在那里，不是我造的，也不属于我。
然而我傻乎乎地笑着说：“噢，没什么——无非是过去留下的一片土地而已。
”我在接受这种特定的恭维时，表示最能完全接受的说法就是“嗯，我们喜欢。
”采用这种答话必须得小心谨慎。
就某样东西说“我们喜欢”，言外之意就是，还有许多其他人都认为它很令人讨厌。
不久前，我和一批人在一起时，其中有位来自澳大利亚的地球物理学家在滔滔不绝地谈论宇宙中的奇观。
“我们生活的这个地球，”他说道，“是个了不起的、生机勃勃的、旋转的行星，是由一些不可思议的奇观组合而成。
”随后便是长时间的停顿。
这时，一位被他的这种极度夸张的恭维话所吸引的妇女，禁不住说道，“嗯，我们喜欢这个地球。
”我认为，对待恭维采取否定和贬低的态度是错误的。
“多漂亮的礼服啊！”你的朋友赞美道。
“噢，这么破的旧衣服！”你回答道。
这种情景，与我上述提出的观点非常相似。
别人赞美你的礼服，你无权为此感到羞愧或恼怒——除非这件礼服恰好是你自己亲手缝制的。
如果你这么说，“我是在麦茜商场的地下室和另一个妇女经过一番争抢才买下来的，”你可能会感觉更好些。

研究生英语综合教程第二章课后答案作文解析与拓展In the second chapter of the comprehensive English textbook for graduate students, the post-lesson essay assignment serves as a valuable tool for enhancing students' writing skills and critical thinking abilities. The essay topic, often tied to the chapter's key concepts and themes, encourages students to delve deeper into the subject matter, analyze it from various perspectives, and express their thoughts and ideas in a coherent and logical manner.Upon completing the chapter, students are presented with an essay prompt that challenges them to apply the knowledge they have gained. This prompt might ask them to analyze a particular text, discuss a relevant issue, or argue a point of view. The key to a successful essay lies in understanding the prompt, researching the topic thoroughly, organizing ideas effectively, and writing clearly and concisely.For instance, let's assume the essay prompt asks students to analyze the impact of technology on moderncommunication. To approach this topic, students would needto identify the key elements of the technology-communication nexus, such as the evolution of communication tools, the rise of social media, and the changes in how people interact with each other. They would then need to research these elements, gather relevant examples and statistics, and evaluate their significance in shaping modern communication patterns.In writing the essay, students should begin by introducing the topic and stating their thesis or main argument. They should then proceed to develop their ideas, providing evidence and examples to support their assertions. Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that summarizes the main idea of the paragraph, followed by supporting details and evidence.To ensure coherence and logical flow, students should use transitional words and phrases that connect ideas and paragraphs. They should also avoid redundant or repetitive language, striving for clarity and brevity in their writing. In conclusion, the essay should summarize the mainpoints and restate the thesis. It should leave the readerwith a clear understanding of the topic and a sense of closure.The post-lesson essay assignment in the second chapter of the graduate English textbook is not just an exercise in writing; it is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding of the chapter's content, their ability to think critically about real-world issues, and their proficiency in expressing their thoughts in English. By taking the time to analyze the prompt, research the topic, and craft a well-structured essay, students can gain valuable skills that will serve them well in their academic and professional careers.**研究生英语综合教程第二章课后答案作文解析与拓展** 在研究生英语综合教程的第二章中，课后答案作文作为一个重要的练习环节，有助于提升学生的写作技能和批判性思维能力。
要善于恭维他人，重要的一步就是要懂得为什么恭维会有助于你建立更好的人际关系。
恭维之所以奏效,最根本的原因是恭维符合了人类行为的一个基本原则：人们渴望得到赏识。
尽管文化背景各不相同，但绝大多数人都有类似的想法。
在业洲文化屮，人们对群体赏识的渴求一般要强于对个体赏识的渴求。
但不管怎样，人们渴望赏识是普遍存在的。
An important step in becoming an effective flatterer is to understand why flattery helps you establish better relationships with others. The root cause of the power of flattery gets at a basic principle of human behavior: People crave being appreciated., The vast majority of people are of the similar idea despite different cultures・In Asian cultures the desire for group recognition is generally stronger than the desire for individual recognition. Nevertheless, the need for recognition is present.很多人认为，工作本身带来的乐趣要比外界赏识包括恭维更要重要。
工作的乐趣也许是i种巨大的动力，但是即使是那些从工作中得到极大乐趣的人如科学家、艺术家、摄影师也渴望得到恭维和认可，，否则他们就不会去竞争诺贝尔奖或在重要的展览会上展示他们的作品了。
Many people hold that the joy of work itself is more important than external recognition, including flattery. The joy of work may be a powerful motivator, but even those who get the biggest joy from their work—such as scientists, artists, and photographers 一・crave flattery and recognition. Otherwise they wouldn't compete for Nobel Prizes or enter their work in important exhibitions.恭维之所以奏效，还因为它与人们对认可的正常需要有关。
Can Harry Potter wave his magic wand and revive a dead language? Publishers of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, who plan to translate the adventures of the schoolboy wizard into Latin and ancient Greek, think it might help, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported. Author J.K. Rowling and her publishers Bloomsbury hope the translations will help children overcome the dread of studying the two ancient languages, the newspaper said. “We aren’t under any illusions that the Latin and Greek will be best-sellers but we think that it will mean much more fun lessons for anyone studying Latin and Greek,” said Emma Matthewson, Rowling’s editor at Bloomsbury. Peter Needham, who taught Latin and Greek at top boy’s school Eton College, was translating the first of Rowling’s books. “This is going to be a wonderful thing for children. It has got very witty dialogue…”he was quoted as saying. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is not the first children’s book to be translated into Latin. Paddington Bear, Alice in Wonderland and Winnie the Pooh have all had the Latin treatment, the newspaper said.哈里·波特的魔杖能让已死的语言起死回生吗？《哈里·波特与魔法石》的出版商认为这有可能。

研究生英语综合教程第二章课后答案作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Awesome Summer Vacation!Hey everyone! I'm so excited to tell you all about my amazing summer vacation. It was the best summer ever and I had the craziest adventures! Buckle up because this is going to be an epic tale.It all started on the last day of school. I was super pumped because not only was school finally over, but my parents had a huge surprise planned for me and my little sister Lily. They said we were going on an incredible trip for the whole summer! Can you believe it? A whole summer of fun and no school. I could barely sleep that night thinking about where we might go.The next morning, bright and early, we piled into the car with our suitcases. After a bunch of hours of driving, we finally made it to the airport. I had never been on a plane before so I was a little nervous, but also really thrilled. When we got on the plane, I quickly realized flying is awesome! You get your own little TV,snacks, and you get to look out over the clouds. It's like being a bird up there!After what felt like no time at all, the plane landed and we arrived in...Hawaii I had seen pictures, but it was even more beautiful in real life. The second we stepped outside, I was hit with the warm tropical air and could smell the ocean. Palm trees lined the roads and the sky was the brightest blue. This was already shaping up to be the trip of a lifetime.We got to our amazing beach resort and I instantly ran out and dipped my toes in the ocean for the first time. The water was so clear, warm, and saltier than I expected. I spent the rest of that day just splashing around and playing in the waves. That night we had an incredible luau on the beach with a massive buffet, hula dancers, and a huge bonfire. I stuffed myself with kalua pork, pineapple, and coconut shrimp. It was all so delicious!Over the next few weeks, we went on so many epic adventures all around the different Hawaiian islands. We went snorkeling and saw massive sea turtles, colorful fish, and vibrant coral up close. We hiked through a rainforest to towering waterfalls that we could swim in. We took a helicopter ride over an active volcano that was bubbling with bright orange lava. It felt like we were on another planet!One of the coolest things we did was go night snorkeling with these special lighted visors. The ocean looks completely different at night and we got to see these incredible creatures called manta rays up close. They were huge but totally gentle as they glided through the water. We even got to watch them doing barrel rolls which was so majestic.Another day we went whale watching on a boat and got to see massive humpback whales breaching out of the water. It was insane to see something so big come completely out of the ocean like that. The tour guides said we were really lucky because we even got to see a whale give birth to a little baby calf! The whole pod was super protective and kept swimming around the baby. I had never seen anything like it.Whenever we weren't out on an adventure, we just relaxed on the beach all day. I perfected my sandcastle skills and even entered a few competitions. Lily and I had the best system of digging a moat and making detailed windows and turrets. We didn't win but we had an awesome time.I also took some surfing lessons and eventually could ride "Mike" waves...that means the smaller ones that are perfect for beginners. By the end of the summer, I could ride some bigger waves for a few seconds which felt like flying! I spent hours justbobbing around in the turquoise waters waiting for the perfect wave to come along.Before we knew it, our summer in paradise was coming to an end. I was really sad to leave behind the warmth, beaches, and aloha spirit, but I had so many incredible memories to take home. That plane ride home felt twice as long knowing I wouldn't be back by the beach in the morning.Now that I'm back in school, I dream about those Hawaiian beaches every day during class. I can't wait until my next vacation when I can have another amazing adventure! I just hope it's somewhere as fun and beautiful as Hawaii was. I'm already working on my tan so I'm ready whenever summer comes again!篇2Hi! My name is Timmy and I'm in 5th grade. My teacher Mrs. Miller asked us to practice writing essays for our English class. We had to read Chapter 2 from this really big book called "Comprehensive English for Graduate Students" and then answer the writing prompts from the exercises. Here are my answers:Prompt: Write a descriptive essay about your favorite place. Use detailed sensory descriptions to help the reader imagine being there.My Favorite Place - The TreehouseMy ultimate favorite place in the whole universe is my treehouse! It's the most awesome place ever. To get there, you go out the back door of my house, down the steps, hang a left and walk through the little gate into the backyard. Then you have to look up reeeeally high into the giant oak tree and there it is - my treehouse!It's made out of wood planks that are kind of greyish-brown and a little splintery in some spots. It has four walls, a roof, and two windows with shutters that open and close. The roof is slanted and covered in bumpy shingles. You climb up using the wooden ladder that's nailed into the trunk. The rungs have lots of grooves carved into them from years of kids' sneakers scuffing up and down.Once you're inside, it smells like a wonderful mixture of fresh-cut grass, must from the oak tree, and the cherry Tootsie Pops I've stashed in the corner. In the summertime when the windows are open, you can smell honeysuckle from the bushes in the yard too. It's not a huge space but it feels roomy since the ceiling angles up to a point in the center.There's an old braided rug that scratches bare feet and a beanbag chair that's rock-hard after being squished for so manyyears. Thumbtacks line the walls where we've hung drawings, photos, fortunes from cookies, and other treasures we've found. Dust motes float in the rays of sunshine beaming through the windows. Spiderwebs cake the corners but we leave them since they're homes for the little spiders.I love sitting up there reading comics, shooting rubber bands at squirrels, eavesdropping on neighborhood conversations, and watching the zillions of leaves on the oak tree swaying. On windy days it sways and creaks like it's going to blow over. In storms, rain pounds on the roof in a deafening roar. My treehouse is my ultimate fortress of solitude away from rambunctious little brothers and chores.That's why the treehouse is my happy place - the sights, smells, sounds, and feeling of being up in the trees in my own tiny kingdom far from the worries of this world. Just me and my thoughts amongst nature. Aahhh I can't wait for the next sunny day so I can climb back up there with a Baby Ruth candy bar!Prompt: Write a narrative essay telling the story of the most fascinating person you know.The Most Fascinating Person I KnowThe most fascinating person I know is my grandpa Clarence. He's 92 years old which is really really old. Like ancient! He has thin wispy white hair, crinkly lines all over his face from squinting in the sun too much, and a little hunched back. But he still gets around pretty good with his metal cane that has a tennis ball on the bottom.Grandpa grew up during the Great Depression when there was no money and people had to live off the land. His family didn't have running water or electricity back then! They heated their house by chopping up logs and burning them in a fireplace. He helped His dad grow crops and raise livestock like cows, pigs, and chickens on their little farm.For fun as a kid, Grandpa says he would whittle wood figures, fish for catfish and bluegill in the creek, and play mumbly-peg with his brothers. That's some kind of game where you throw a pocket knife to stick it in the ground. It sounds kind of dangerous if you ask me! On Saturday nights the whole family would gather on the porch and drink ice cold lemonade while listening to the battery-powered radio shows like The Shadow and Little Orphan Annie.When World War 2 started, Grandpa lied about his age so he could enlist in the army. He was only 16 but he told them he was18. Can you believe that?? The army didn't even check! So he got shipped across the ocean to fight in Europe as a soldier.Grandpa says some of the most fascinating and scary things he's ever witnessed happened during the war. He saw dead bodies, got shot at by Nazis, watched his friends die right in front of him, and one time he even had to take cover in a massive crater that was made by one of the big rocket bombs that篇3Hi there! My name is Timmy, and I'm a 4th grader at Oakwood Elementary School. Our teacher, Miss Johnson, gave us a really fun writing assignment last week, and I'm so excited to share my essay with you!The prompt was all about describing our favorite place. At first, I thought about writing about the awesome new playground they just built at the park down the street. It has these gigantic tube slides that make you feel like you're flying through the air, and a really cool climbing wall that's shaped like a pirate ship. But then I remembered my absolute favorite place in the whole wide world – my treehouse!You see, last summer, my dad and I built this amazing treehouse together in the big oak tree in our backyard. It took usforever to make because we wanted it to be perfect. We had to measure and cut all the wood pieces just right, and then haul them up into the tree using a pulley system. I got to help with hammering in some of the nails and painting the walls a bright green color that I picked out myself.When we were finally done, our treehouse turned out even better than I imagined! It has two levels connected by a ladder, with a little roof on top to keep the rain out. The bottom level is like a cozy living room, with bean bag chairs, shelves for my books and toys, and even a tiny wooden table where I can color or play board games. But the best part is the top level – that's the lookout deck!From up there, I can see everything – our house, the neighbors' yards, the park in the distance, and even the mountains on a really clear day. It's the perfect spot for spying on birds or squirrels scampering around in the trees. Sometimes I'll pack a snack and drink, climb up to the lookout deck, and just hang out for hours, taking in all the sights and sounds of nature.Whenever my friends come over, the first thing they always want to do is check out my treehouse. We'll make pretend it's a fortress, and I'll be the brave knight defending it from the evil dragon (who's really just my friend Jake making monster noises).Or we'll bring up our walkie-talkies and play like we're secret agents on an important mission, sending coded messages back and forth from our "headquarters" in the trees.One of my favorite memories from last summer was when we had a sleepover up in the treehouse. My dad set up a little tent on the bottom level, and me, Jake, Emma, and Michael all brought our sleeping bags. We told scary stories, playedtruth-or-dare, and eventually fell asleep while watching the moon and stars through the window. I'll never forget waking up to the chirping birds and sunlight peeking through the leaves. It was magical!The treehouse is my happy place – a secret hideaway where I can have adventures, daydream, or simply enjoy being surrounded by nature. No brothers or sisters to bother me, no parents telling me to clean my room, just peace and quiet (and the occasional squirrel friend, of course). Whenever I'm feeling sad or overwhelmed with schoolwork, I know I can escape up to my special spot for a little while.Even though I'm getting older and some of my friends say treehouses are "for little kids," I don't think I'll ever outgrow mine. It's not just a place, it's a connection to my imagination and all the fun I had as a kid. And who knows, maybe one day when I'mall grown up, I'll build an even bigger and better treehouse for my own kids to enjoy! A treehouse is a childhood dream come true, and my favorite place in the universe.Well, that's my essay! I hope you liked reading about my awesome treehouse as much as I liked writing about it. Thanks for letting me share a little bit about my favorite篇4My Awesome FamilyHi! My name is Jamie and I am 8 years old. I love my family so much! They are the awesomest. I am going to tell you all about them.First there is my mom. Her name is Susan and she is the best mom ever. She takes really good care of me and my little brother Tommy. Every morning she makes us yummy breakfasts like pancakes or eggs. She packs delicious lunches for us to take to school too. After school she helps us with our homework. If we get stuck on a really hard math problem, she knows just how to explain it so we understand.My mom works really hard but she always has time for us kids. On weekends she takes us to the park to play on the swingsand slides. Or sometimes we go to the movies and get popcorn and Swedish fish candy which are my favorite. She reads me bedtime stories and gives the best hugs and kisses goodnight. I just love my mom so much!Then there is my dad, Henry. He is tall and has brown hair and a big smile. My dad is really funny and makes me and Tommy laugh all the time. He does these crazy goofy dances around the house and makes silly faces. But he is also really smart. He knows so many things! If I ask him how airplanes fly or what makes a rainbow, he explains it all to me. He helps me with my science fair projects too.My dad works hard at his job, but as soon as he gets home from work he plays with me and Tommy. We go outside and he throws balls for us to catch or we go on family bike rides. For my birthday last year he rented a huge bounce house and all my friends came over and we jumped around for hours! It was the best ever. I love doing fun things with my dad.And I can't forget about my little brother Tommy! He just turned 5 years old. Tommy has blonde hair and big blue eyes. He is so cute and sweet but also really loud and crazy! We share a room and he is always jumping on his bed or running around.Tommy makes me laugh but he can be annoying too when he won't be quiet and let me read my books.Still, we have a lot of fun playing together. We build big towers and cities out of his legos. Or we have jumping contests to see who can jump the highest or the farthest. Tommy cheats though by getting a running start! In the summer we run through the sprinklers in our yard and have picnics with our stuffed animal friends. Even though Tommy drives me nuts sometimes, he's the best little brother.My family also has two pets, a dog and a cat. The dog's name is Biscuit and she is an old yellow lab. She is really lazy and sleeps pretty much all day. But when we come home from school Biscuit goes crazy running around so excited to see us. She loves to chase after tennis balls and give us sloppy kisses.Our cat is named Oreo because she is black and white. Oreo is pretty shy and likes to hide from everyone. But sometimes late at night she sneaks into my room and cuddles up next to me to sleep. I love burying my face in her soft fur. Having pets makes our house feel extra cozy.On the weekends, my whole family likes to go on adventures together. We pack a picnic lunch and all pile into the car. We drive out to parks or hiking trails and spend the day exploringoutside. Mom makes us leave our phones and tablets behind so we can unplug from screens. Instead we look for cool bugs or bird nests. We play hide and seek or tag running through the trees. When we get hungry we sit together and eat our sandwiches. Sometimes we even have a contest to see who can find the most interesting leaf or rock!In the evenings we like to have family movie nights. We make popcorn and snuggle up on the couch under warm blankets. I get to pick the movie sometimes, and I always choose something silly and fun. But other times my parents pick movies they think will teach us something. Either way, I love cozying up with my family to watch together.That's my awesome family! We have our ups and downs of course, like when Tommy or I fight over what TV show to watch. Or when I don't want to go to bed on time. But even with the little squabbles, I feel so lucky to be part of this funny, loving, adventurous family. We have a blast just being together. I love the traditions and bond we share. My mom, dad, brother, and pets make every day an exciting memory. I'm one lucky kid!篇5My Favorite AnimalsHi there! My name is Johnny and I'm 8 years old. Today I want to tell you all about my favorite animals. Animals are just about the coolest things ever! I love learning about different creatures and watching nature shows on TV.My absolute favorite animals are big cats like lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars. They are so strong and fast and powerful. Lions are the kings of the jungle with their bright yellow fur and mighty roars. Tigers have beautiful orange stripes and can run super fast to catch their prey. Leopards are spotted and like to lurk in trees before pouncing on unsuspecting antelopes. And jaguars are excellent swimmers that live in the rainforests.I just think big cats are amazing hunters. Their skills at stalking and chasing down other animals is incredible. They are the perfect predators. With their sharp teeth and claws, they can take down zebras, gazelles, wild pigs, and even buffaloes! I've seen videos of lions working together as a pride to surround their prey. It's awesome teamwork.My next favorite animals are primates like chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. I think it's so cool how similar they are to humans. Chimpanzees are highly intelligent and can use tools. They live in family groups with complex social structures. Gorillas are the largest primates and the males will beat their chests toshow dominance. And orangutans are expert climbers swinging through the trees of the rainforest.I find primates fascinating to watch because you can see hints of human-like behavior. How they communicate, take care of their young, and solve problems. Jane Goodall was a famous scientist who studied chimpanzees in the wild for decades. She saw them making tools, having friendships, and waging warfare on rival groups! So much like early humans.Another group of creatures I love are the birds of prey, especially hawks, falcons, and eagles. These raptors have incredible eyesight and flying abilities to hunt small mammals, reptiles, and other birds. Hawks will soar high in the sky scanning the ground until they spot prey, then dive down at lightning speeds. Peregrine falcons are potentially the fastest animals on earth when they go into their bullet-like hunting stoop.And bald eagles are just majestic and powerful. The way they soar over forests and lakes looking for fish to snatch out of the water. I've been lucky to see some bald eagles in real life when I went camping with my parents. Watching them fly overhead with their huge wingspans is awe-inspiring.Predatory birds make use of their razor-sharp talons, hooked beaks, and incredible vision to be expert hunters from the skies.Falconers have trained hawks, falcons, and eagles for thousands of years to hunt small game with them. I think that's such an ancient and cool tradition connecting humans with these magnificent raptors.I could keep going on and on about other amazing animals, but I'll stop here. From the oceans to the grasslands to the forests, Planet Earth is home to such an incredible diversity of life. Animals have evolved the most spectacular traits and behaviors to survive and thrive in their habitats. As a kid, I'm in awe of nature's wonders. I dream of maybe becoming a zoologist, wildlife photographer, or conservationist when I grow up so I can spend my life learning about animals. This world is a real-life Animal Planet!篇6My Awesome Summer Vacation!Hi! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I just had the best summer vacation ever and I can't wait to tell you all about it!It all started on the last day of school. I was so excited because I didn't have any more homework or tests for three whole months! My teacher Mrs. Jenkins gave us our summerreading lists, but I wasn't too worried about that. I knew I'd have plenty of time.The first week of summer, my parents let me sleep in as late as I wanted. I loved lounging around in my pajamas and watching cartoons. Around lunchtime, my friends Tyler and James would come over and we'd play outside all afternoon. We had epic Nerf gun battles in the backyard and raced our bikes up and down the street.One day, we made a lemonade stand and sold cups for 25 cents each. We made 7 before my mom made us pack it up for dinner! I felt like a real businessman. With my profits, I went to the arcade and won a bunch of tickets to trade for prizes. I got a cool miniature basketball hoop for my room.The next week, my parents took me and my little sister Lily on a camping trip. We drove five hours to Lake Arrowhead and set up our tent in the woods. I had never gone camping before, so everything was new and exciting! We hiked to a waterfall, caught fish in the lake, and made s'mores over the campfire at night. One night, we heard a bear sniffing around our campsite! That was scary but also kind of cool.My dad taught me how to set up the tent, start a campfire with flint and steel, and follow a map and compass. I felt like ajunior Boy Scout earning all these new outdoor skills. Lily wasn't as into the "roughing it" lifestyle as me. She complained about not having WiFi and nearly got poison ivy. But I thought camping was awesome and I can't wait to go again.After camping, we visited my grandparents in Florida for a week. I love going to their house because they have a pool, a home theater, and always take us to fun places. We went to Disney World one day and saw all the classic rides and characters.I got my picture taken with Mickey Mouse! We also went to the beach and I learned how to body surf in the waves. My grandpa taught me the perfect way to skim a rock across the water too.My grandma makes the best home-cooked meals. We had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and pecan pie. My favorite! She let me help bake a cake for my grandpa's birthday too. We decorated it with colorful icing and candles. I felt so grown up baking in the kitchen with her.For the Fourth of July, we watched fireworks at the stadium and I got to stay up way past my bedtime. I was so tired the next day but it was totally worth it to see the amazing fireworks show! I've never seen such huge colorful explosions in the night sky. My dad showed me how to spell out words with my mini handheld sparklers too.The last few weeks of summer, I went to day camp at the recreation center. We did so many fun activities like arts and crafts, swimming, field games, talent shows, and even a camp musical at the end! I made a ton of new friends and didn't want camp to end.One of the highlights was the big camp sleepover under the stars. We told scary stories around the campfire, roasted marshmallows, and went on a night hike. Our counselors taught us cool things about the constellations and planets in the night sky. Even though I had been camping already, it was my first time sleeping outside in a sleeping bag. A raccoon tried to steal our snacks in the middle of the night and woke us all up! It was both terrifying and hilarious.On the last day of camp, we had an awesome party with a DJ, dancing, pizza, and ice cream sundaes. I got tons of kids' autographs in my camp notebook as a memento. Camp was so fun that as soon as I got home, I begged my parents to sign me up again for next summer!Now that I'm back in school, summer feels like it was just a dream. But I have so many amazing memories and can't wait to make more next year. Between the adventures, activities, vacations, and time with family and friends, it was the bestsummer ever! Second grade is going to be hard after such an awesome break, but at least I have fun stories to tell my classmates. I just hope next summer is even half as exciting!。

高速通讯肯定会对作曲者产生影响。
如今各种风格如此快速地为人所了解和模仿，“风格跨越”可能成为新世纪里音乐界的时髦词。
人们可以在家里下载任何作品。
昨天地球另一边的人作了什么，明天你就可以知道。
古典音乐，爵士乐和其他音乐形式之间的屏障将会继续崩溃，听众将会从许多不同风格的作品中获得同样的快感。
可以预见，人们的欣赏口味将会更加多元化。
一个很大的未知数是，新技术对音乐的音响效果而不是其形式和结构会产生什么影响。
本世纪我们已经看到打击乐在管弦乐作品中的潜力发挥到了令人无法辨认的程度，而且我们也已习惯了电子音乐。
因此可以预见，未来的发展不久就会给我们所听到的音乐带来巨大变化。
The speed of communication is bound to have an effect on composers——styles are now known and imitated so quickly that “crossover” may be the buzzword for music in the new century. People can download anything in their home, and you know tomorrow what someone on the other side of the world did yesterday. Barriers between classical music, jazz and other forms will continue to break down and audiences will derive equal pleasure from lots of different styles. I foresee a greater plurality of taste. The great unknown is the effect new technology is going to have on the soundworld of music, as opposed to its forms and structures. In this century we have seen the potential of percussion in orchestral work develop out of all recognition, and have become accustomed to electronic music. So I anticipate developments around the corner that will produce huge changes in what we listen to.
