U.1.What is the best way to educate our children？Who gives them more influences, teachers or parents?Nowadays, more and more teachers focus on the education for their students, they are eager to find a best way to solve this problem, as well as the parents.Importantly, we have to consider the students themselves. What we do will benefit them?We must enhance their knowledge and wisdom to solve kinds of problems and questions, so if we want to educate for success, we must make sure that what the students need. Unlike the past days, nowadays the students not only need knowledge in book, but also need something innate. They need to study, and to study in a very healthway and with a very relax heart. Here we can get some information that is to give the students the knowledge and happiness both.I think that the parents are more influential than the teachers. The first reason is that it helps a student identify himself/herself through the parent‟s role modeling. Secondly, the parent‟s positive influence provides a secure environment for proper developmentof a student. Lastly, the importance of a parents influence on a student can be recognized by the impact it has on society.Unit1.2 Do you think it important to cultivate students’ creativity?I think it is important .The standardization of thinking is the leading factor that kills Chinese innovative thinking. American education focuses on cultivating self-confidence, and Chinese students often lack self-confidence. American students are often arrogant, and Chinese students are often humble. Education in the west is different from ours: it trains students' problem consciousness and critical thinking from primary school. but we often cultivate students' obedience to what the teacher says.Unit1 .3 What are the problems with the educational system of China? Is the system quality-oriented or test-oriented?In China, there are so many problems with the educational system. But the three problems about education must be paid much attention at least. Firstly, the entrance-exam problem, youngsters have to bury themselves in book stacks in order to pass the entrance exam, completely divorced from social reality. Secondly, the quality problem, there is no denying the fact what the students learn in university cannot meet the need of the rapid development society. Finally, the employment problem, as I have said in the above that the quality has declined, so high-education and employment are obviously incompatible. How to solve these problems? In my opinion, the governmentmust relax its unnecessary controls on the universities, and give schoolsfull autonomy to pilot their own reforms. Only in this can we solve the problem of education. In light of this, we can find that the educational system of China is thetest-oriented.Unit1,4What kind of teacher is an ideal one?can you describe a teacher who give you most influences? will you become a teacher when you finish your graduate program?Ideal teachers must be patient and they can express their own meaning clearly. They should have good professional knowledge about the course they teach and they like the course they teach. What‟s more, they can teach students in accordance of their aptitude The teacher is my Chinese teacher when I was in third grade. Sheknew our advantages and disadvantages, and she could praise and criticize us properly.I want to become a college teacher. Because college teachers‟ work has more free time, I can have more time to care for my family.Unit1 ,5Is it necessary for the graduating students to write and defend graduation theses?I think writing and defending graduation theses is necessary. Completing the graduation theses is the basic condition for college students to graduate.At the same time, defending graduation theses can urge the students to write their papers independently. So this is a meaningful learning process and a conclusion of what we have learned during the past four years. It can train and increase the ability to scientific research and cooperate with others. What‟s mo re, it also can improve work efficiency and let us feel the sense of responsibility. It is the key to open the door of our later success.Unit2,1In these days ,job hopping is avery common phenomenon.what are the reasons for the job_hopping?should stay in one career the whole life or change job frequentenly?I think the following factors contributing to people‟s job-hopping. First, when some employees suffer limitation in promotion and there is no space for them to develop, job-hopping becomes common like potluch. Second, some people are different, they are in the habit of job-hopping, for they always pursue what is new and stimulating. Finally, when you stay in one career for a long time, you will lose your interest. In my opinion, we should not change our job frequently. because every job is a chance for us to gain wider experience .And you will lose this opportunity if you change job frequently.If you change youjob,you would have to start all over again from the beginning.So ,you‟dbetter not change your job frequently.Unit2,2Do you want to be a small fish in a big pond or a big fish in a small pond?With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization such as General Motors. You will have the opportunities of learning from experienced executives and knowing about the standard working process. There is no doubt that the experience here will widen your horizon and youwill gain access to the latest information which could help you enhance your competitiveness in your major. With the latter, you will have great responsibilities and your decision may bring immediate effect. Normally, you are exposed to various experiences and expected to do a great many things without much help or guidance. And here I can control more resources than what I can in big company. However, the mechanisms of small company lack of flexibility, which will hinder the people‟s promotion. Personally, I prefer to work in a big enterprise when I was young, because I could get a good position as long as I work hard.Unit 2 ,.3if you are a boss,do you like to recruit experienced people or green hands?If I am a boss,I am inclined to recruit those experienced ones . First of all, I think ,when faced the work , the experienced will be better to understand the process of the job, and complete the work more efficiently . As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. They may have new techniques and methods.Secondly, they know how to communicate and get along with related persons.This is good to fewer conflicts between employees. Finally , the company do not spend too much energy to train them,so they will be able to create value for the company when they entered the company.Unit2,4With the soring house price in big cities,would you still choose to work in first_tier cities upon grauation?No, I would not choose to work in first-tier cities upon graduation, although there are more working opportunities. The reasons are as follow. The first, the house price is so high that I can‟t afford it. The second, comparing with medium-sized cities, the living expenses in first-tier cities is much higher, the pace of life is much faster and the the living surroundings are worse. While in a medium-sized city, the living expenses is suitable, then I can save money. The living surroundings are more comfortable. The most important is that I will have more time with my family and more chances to display my potential. So, I prefer working in a medium-sized city.Unit3.1What are the usual / popular ways of getting refreshed?You can exercise all the time and sweat it out. Or have a good sleep. Listen to some relaxing music and talk to your family.Unit3.2Find out all the reasons why people spend so much time with their computer both atwork and at home.I think there are 3 reasons for the question. First, internet improves our life quality and work efficient. At work, we use computer to deal with files. For example, when we facea large amount of numbers, before the invention of computer, people must use pens, which spend a lot of time, but now we can do it by computer, maybe it just spend a few minutes. At home, we can buy everything through computer.Second, computer enhances the communication of people. At work, especially some international companies, people can talk with foreigners and make business bycomputer. At home, as we all know, parents are often on business trips, they can talk with their children face to face through computers; we can also acquire some latest news in the internet. Third, we use the Internet for entertainment and study, when we are tired, we open the computer, and find out some exciting programs, and then we will be happy. For the study, we can learn English, write thesis and look up data, and so on.That’s all.Unit 3,4what benefits can you derive from doing exercises regularly?Physical exercise can make people healthy. It can help people to postpone aging. exercise is beneficial to the growth of human bones and muscles. Psychologically: exercise has the function of regulating the tension of the human body, and can improve the physiological and psychological state and restore the strength and energy. exercise can improve the health of the body, make the tired body get a positive rest, so that people energetically put into study and work;stretch the body and mind, help to sleep and eliminate the pressure of reading5. What’s your favorite sport? And Why? / “What’s your hobby?As we all become health conscious, we realize the importance of strict and regular physical activity. Why so many people love exercise? Since it has many functions that are good and efficient for us. Firstly, it is good Swimming is a healthy low-lost activity that you can continue throughout you life. Swimming is a low-impact activity that has many physical and mental health benefits. I like swimming best, because swimming can help maintain a healthy weight, healthy hearts and lungs. Plus, its also an ability of surviving.4.11. How does modern technology bring an unprecedented change to people’s lives? The third technical revolution obviously brings an unprecedented change to peoples life. Digital has given rise to a variety of new technology. Factories are more effective with less workers. More and more smart machines are appearing, such as smart robot which can do some dangerous work and housework. The internet brings us a lot of conveniences. We can communicate with other easily no matter how far away from each other. Secondly we can get much information to tell us how interesting the world is. Even we don‟t go out home we can buy what we need on net. And so on. Our life will be better and better with advanced technology, such as clear energy and a better environment.Unite4.2. What can you do with your cell phone in your daily life?Mobile phones are becoming more and more widely used in daily life, not just on the phone. Mobile phones can also be used to watch news, watch programs, play games, pay, shopping online, etc.3. Talk about the merits and demerits of online shopping.1. The development of the Internet market is becoming more and more mature, with rich network resources and various kinds of commodities. The search function is powerful, i.e. the dot is available.2. There are various payment methods in the onlinemarket, which are not limited to bank card payment, cash payment, alipay, etc., and the security level is improved. 3. There is a massive online shopping website with promises of quality assurance, so long as Internet users choose a legitimate and legitimate website to network shopping, it must have benefited a lot. Disadvantages:You can't see the object.Although the goods are not satisfactory, we can refuse to accept them, but there is also a delay in the intangibles.Home delivery is subject to local restrictions and will be charged accordinglyUnit4.5. Can students play videogames? What are the disadvantages of playing video games?Videogames, as a popular way of entertainment, has largely changed our ways to spend our leisure time. But everything has two sides, we should coordinate it well so it can play a good important role in our development.Playing games may provoke our most powerful positive emotions. So as a student, when you are tired with study, you can have a rest by playing it, but not spend much more time on it. Because taking much time on it will play an opposite effect .As your tutor, I also want to tell you, if you are a person who is lacking of master yourself, you'd better not touch it.Unit5,2Why are both doctors and patients expressing their frustration? How can we improve doctor-patient relationship?Doctors always express their frustration because of thestrained relations between patients. Doctors complain that their salary are low and they are overworked in most time. However, patients insist that it is difficult to get a well treatment in hospital. The medicines is so expensive that they cannot afford them. In addition, doctors often take patients as experiment subjects, they prescribe excessivemedicines to patients in order to make money. Takinga look around, one can find numerous examples with ease, such as one doctor killed by his patient in Wenling Zhejiang province not long ago. The problem mentioned above is bound to generate dsevere consequences if we keep turning a blind eye. To my way of thinking, some measures must be taken to solve this problem. For one thing, It is essential that laws and regulations should be worked out and enforced to put an end to this trend, such as government makes some laws to forbid doctor to collect money from patients. For another, patients should aslogive more respect to doctors and coordinate with doctors during surgery. Only in this way, can we make the society more harmoniously.Unit5,3What are the positiv e and negative effects of china’s single child policy?In my view, there are many positive effects o f china’s single child policy. Fist it can reduce the pressure of employment. Because china has much people we cannot find a good job. Second it can do good for the environment. Much water is wasted and the air is polluted as people do not cherish. If people is less and less we will own enough water and air. Everything has two sides. Some negative effects are existed. The military powerwill be weaken. The single children will not understand the importance of sharing. Theywill have few friends and feel lonely. They will have much pressure to support their parents when they grow up.Unit5,4We have entered an age of ageing population. How and who to take good care of the elderly people?Nowadays, we have entered an age of ageing population, and how and who to take good care of the elderly people, which is a hot point that we are talking about resently. Considering the severity of issue, we have no choice but to take effective measure to deal with this problem. In my opinion, not onlythe son or daughterbut also the society have responsibility to take care of the elderly people. On the one hand, undoubtedly, according to some sociologist opinion, the elderly people are more eager to children's love. We are glad to see that the son and daughter should often go back home and make telephone calls to their parents. And they also should give money to their parents. Because they are too old to work, they can‟t make enough money to live. Moreover, when they are sick, they should take care and stay with them. On the other hand , there is no doubt that the government should improve the social welfare system ,raise the retirement age and set up many old people‟s home to guarantee the old people‟s life.So in a word, only in this way this bad situation can be solved.Unit 5 .5Nowadays, a buzzword “urban diseases” is frequently heard.What is meant by that? And what are the causes ang cures for those “illness”?I think “urban diseases” is about that more and more peo ple are flocking to the big cities, which has caused many problems like traffic jams ,environment pollutions and the declining feeling of happiness .such problems are even more serious in Beijing ,shanghai ,Shenzhen .most of the people like to live in the cities because the big city has more work opportunities, exciting life and a sense of urbanite ,besides ,the big city is good for children‟s education. This is what has caused the “ citydiseases ”.I think it is the time that w e should take some measures to handle with those problems. We should establish the proper value on big city .everywhere has its advantages and disadvantages. even the big city has its convenient ,it is also has its demerits. the living expenses is much higher,the pace of life is much faster ,its surroundings are worse and has more traffic congestion.I don’t like live into the big cite .I think the medium city like Qingdao ,Suzhou are very good, it can catch up with the big cities ,has many hot places for investment form both home and aboard ,lots of priority policies to attract talents ,and more chances to display one’s potential .besides, I can have more time to stay with my family .I enjoy the silent life and it can enhance my understanding of life .Unit6 ,1Should we limit the use of private cars in first tier cities to reduce caremissions?Beijing has been limited the private car by limiting its number in some appointed days However, as far as I see it, we should not put a limit on private cars in first-tier cities. First of all, the private car is a symbol of freedom and wealth. The private car has given us a freedom and convenience our ancestors could not dream of. We can travel to relatively remote places that it is hard to reachon foot or public transport rarely goes to. A car enables an individual or a family to travel at any time they wish. With a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the bitterly cold or under the scorching sun. Further more a c ar can serve as a symbol of one’s wealth, which makes him or her proud of his or her accomplishments and glorious past.Secondly, a car can make our work more efficient and life more convenient. Nowadaysmany Chinese can enjoy the comfort and luxury of owning a private car. Having a car of one’s own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains; no more waste of time for waiting at the bus stop or train station. With a car one does not have to worry about the possible danger their child suffers when they are elbowing theirway through the crowd, instead they can drop off the children at school on the way to work. In the case of illness, the car takes its owner or other sick person to hospital without any delay. Last but not least, lifting bans on private cars will stimulate the automobile industry, which provides jobs for a large team of workers. Known as a sunrise industry, Chinese automobile industry needs strong and continuous fueling from domestic demand. If more people buy cars, the industry will embrace continued growth, thus contributing more to the national economy. Moreover, its growth will trigger the boom of related industries like iron and steel production and energy. In conclusion, theadvantages of private cars convince us that we should not put a limit on the number of private cars. What we should do at the moment is to perfect the transport infrastructure to ensure private cars to go faster and more safely.Unit6,2How can we strike a balance between economic development and environmental protection in poor areas?In the past thirty years, our country seen great development and thorough changes in the aspects of economy, society and construction. However, some problems, like environmental pollutions, appeared in some regions ,especially in poor areas. Therefore, balancing matual connection between economic improvement and environmental protection should be put on agenda immediately.On one hand, economic progress in some remote zones deserved to be focused on by our wise government and intelligent citizens, who should try their best to help the poor to pursue a better life. On the other hand, it is indeed essential to make a considerate combination between economy and surroundings for a profound and sustainable development, instead of just chase economic productivity and GDP .Only by these two can we help the poor areas to get on the path of getting rich and happy .Unit6 ,3It’s urgent for us to reduced our carbon footprint. What can we do to live a low carbon life?Now more and more people has realized that a low carbon life is related with daily life. we have to take some measures to reduce our carbon footprint. For government, they should take some policy to control the number of privated car. We should plant more trees to make the carbon absorbed. To our common people, we should ride bike or by bus to go to work other than driving privated car. We also should try to avoid using disposable tableware. We should reduce to use free or charge a plastic bag when we are going shopping. We should develop the habit of turning off electrical power to avoid wasting electricity. Trying to reduce to use refrigerators, air conditioners, fans, we can keep cool by using Pushan . Only in this way can we live a low carbon life and can we have a healthy life.Unit6,4 What is white pollution? how to deal with it?The so-called "white pollution" is a kind of appellation that plastic garbage pollutes environment. It is made of all kinds of life plastic products .That has caused urban severe environmental pollution phenomenon. The most polluted of white garbage is thewaste plasticbags. If we continue using plastic lunch boxes, shopping bags and other unrecyclable plastic products what would happen that one day they might bury us in an ocean of white rubbish To prevent this nightmare from coming true, governments need to work closely with each other and back up their verbal commitment by actions. However, it is not enough only to ask the government to get rid of white pollution, We must ask everybody beautification green earth instead of white.Unit 6,5How do you understand the role of forests playing in our planet?As we all know, forests always play an important role. Many scientists even regard the forests as the lungs of our earth. In my opinion ,forests help to clean the air. The plants ,as all kinds of trees ,can absorb most of carbon dioxide and at the same time ,they release the oxygen. It is a good way to plant forests to reduce the greenhouse gas. On the other hand,lacking of the protection of forests, many cities, like Beijing is under the threatening of the sand storm. Without doubts , if we plant more trees in the northwest of China,the environment of Beijing will be much better.All in all, the forests are irreplaceable in our planet.Unit7,1Are Chinese different from people of other cultures in the way of greeting and eating? Because of the different culture, I think we have some of different from other people. Firstly, in China, when two people greet each other we shake hands instead of hugging and kissing. Secondly, Food is a special phenomenon, people having knowledgeofFood from one side of the study of different cultural backgrounds, customs and historical environment by study. Western food culture in this thesis is mainly concerned with the British one due to the fact that its cultural pattern and influence have become dominant in the west, which is generally recognized by the world. Thirdly, Chinese people would like to take the style of “sharing” when they have adinner together, whether at home with family members or outside with friends. But in western food culture Western food culture is characterized by the “separated‟ style because of the great influence of the individualistic orientation. For example, westerners do not take the ts’ai dishes from the public plate, but have separate individual plates.Unit7,2What are some taboos or superstitions you know in Chinese culture and other cultures?What is superstition?A belief, practice, or rite irrationally maintained by ignorance of the laws of nature or by faith in magic or chance. Some Chinese taboos and superstitions: A baby with wide and thick ears will live prosperously. The luckiest number is eight because its pronunciation is like "prosper". The unluckiest number is four as it sounds like the Chinese word to death. A boy,preferably born indragon year, may roll over the newlywed's matrimonial bed, which will bring good luck and a baby boy to the couple.When your upper teethfalls down, you should throw it down. And if your lower teeth falls down, you must throw it overhead, maybe on the roof. When your left eye shocks, it means that something good will happen. Conversely, if your right eye shocks, perhaps you will be unlucky. If so many bad things happen to you recently, you could invite a wizard or witch to help you. Get a table and put some candles on it. Then the "GOD" you invited waves his/her wood sword and say some magic words, afterwards the bad things will get away from you. Some western taboos and superstitions: Jesus Christ died on Friday, while the number 13 is unlucky. The combination of people believe that the unfortunate things will happen that day. Friday and the number 13 represents thebad luck the last two unfortunate individuals together to form super-sad day. Therefore,no matter what the occasion of the 13th month on Friday called "Black." In England, black cats are regarded as lucky.If a black cat crosses your path, you will have good luck all day. But in other western countries, black cats are connected with witches or the devil. A leaning ladder was thought to resemble the gallows and so by walking underneath a ladder, you are playing out your own execution.3.

视频11.What are the diseases that are rather genetically determined than developed because of unhealthy lifestyle?Everyone will get sick in his or her lifetime. Some diseases are genetically determined which we can not change, while others are developed because of unhealthy lifestyle. Just like the smokers and obese people. Cigarettes have a hold on some people; others can't say no to alcohol, sweets or a life on the couch in front of the television. 2．People are born differently. What kind of person do you think you are, and what kind of life do you want to live?I am a cheerful, optimistic girl, and laughter is my greatest feature. I believe that life is full of hope. I'm quite active and energetic. I am a stable personality with high sense of responsibility. I am a highly-motivated and reliable person with excellent health and pleasant personality. I love my parents, friends and all people cared me, although I have bad temper sometimes. I have many friends and I love all the wonderful things faced in my life.I wish that I can be a person with good mood every day. I want to improve some aspects such as the learning ability and the level of thinking. I wish that I can be a girl everyone appreciates.3. Do you believe that a person’s potentialities are limite d by his/her genes? Gene is the most important genetic material, from the biological theory, gene determines the external physical characteristics of a person, determines a person's intelligence, character, but I think a person's potential is not only determined by genes, gene is just the intrinsic reasons, a person's potential and acquired the living environment, growth environment related4. Anything we can do to better/upgrade ourselves?Every man is the architect of his own fortune. We should try our best to build a healthy lifestyle. Change is hard, but it's not impossible. People first have to recognize that the benefits of changing their lifestyle will outweigh the investment of time and energy. We should say “NO” to the bad lifestyle. As we all know, a good mood will keep the doctor away. So everyone should learn to smile. Please slime to your parents, friends and everyone you meet. The roses in her hand, the flavor in mine. So take action right now! We will be better!视频21. Imagine that you were one of the passengers on a hijacked plan, what would you do?If I was one of the passengers on a hijecked plan,I will massage my parents at first to tell them my situation in case I would be killed in the hijeck.And then I will try my best to search for help from outside word.2、W as there somebody or something in the incident that makes you moved?Y eah,there are so much moving things.Take this for example,A man tell his wife helove her very much at his dying time.I think this activity is the most moving incident to a girl.3、In your opinion, what’s the meaning of “God helps those who help themselves”?From the video,we not only see different performance,but also we are moved by love,by care and we are shocked by fearness. I guess everybody will feel frightened in this terrible situation.so the sentence tell us nobody could help us unless we help ourself.视频31.To what extent do you think your life and work depends on a computer?I use the computer on many aspects of my life, I surf the internet for everyday news, I keep in touch with my friends through QQ or renren-internet, I obtain all kinds of materials about my profession. What’s more important, I can use it finish many things which are very complex for manual work. For example, I use the A TUO CAD to draw a mechanical drafting, I use the PROTELL to draw PCB which is used in almost everywhere, I use the Photoshop to embellish my candid photos. That’s all.2.Do you believe that computer or artificial intelligence will one day be able to replace human brain?No, I don’t think computer can replace human being. Computer only can finish the work which is installed or seted off by human. It can’t do something by itself. The software is also established by human labour. Although, may be the computer can be very intelligence in someday, but what it will do in next moment also need human to guide.3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having and using a computer? One side, using computer make our life very convenient, we can keep in touch with another one face to face without going out the door, learn all things in every aspects without getting many thick books, buy clothes and daily necessities at home, finish your homework without writing a word and learn your class without going to school and so on. But in another insight, computer makes human more and more lazy. When writing a paper, one can be very easy to forget how to write the word even for many learned person. Because the computer game, most youth will choose to stay beside the computer instead o f going to sport. It’s not a good phenomenon for human’s blossom.4. What are the dramatic changes that hi-technology has brought about to our life?I can do many things by using computer. I surf the internet for everyday news, I keep in touch with my friends through QQ or renren-internet, I obtain all kinds of materials about my profession. What’s more important, I can use it finish many things which are very complex for manual work. For example, I use the ATUO CAD to draw a mechanical drafting, I use the PROTELL to draw PCB which is used in almost everywhere, I use the Photoshop to embellish my candid photos. It make my life more convenient, more beautiful and more effective.视频41. Figure out some ways to save water resources in our daily life.It is very important and essential for us to save water in our daily life. Here are some tips on how we can save water in our daily life.1. We can use the water at home repeatedly. For example, we can use the rinse rice water to wash vegetables. Then the water can be used to water flowers.2. Reduce the number of using water. We’d better wash the family’s clothes together. If we use the washing machine, we should improve its water-saving technology and put moderate detergent to reduce the use of water. Starting from the small things to improve the efficiency of water use.3 When we use the toilet bowl, it’s better to use the one which displacement volume is small. The smaller one is better to save water.4. We can get rid of bad habits of using water in order to save water, such as exchange the TV channel without close the faucet, open the door or pick up the phone with water, use the toilet bowl to wash away cigarette butts and fine waste.2. Pollution is a problem that is attracting more and more people’s at tention in the world. Give some examples of water pollution and give some suggestions to the solution to the problem.Problem：1 Domestic pollution2 Industrial waste3 Oil pollution4 Radioactive waste5 Underground storage leakages6 Marine dumpingSolution：Take Domestic pollution for example，Toxic products like paints, automobile oil, polishes, and cleaning products should be stored and disposed off properly. As a matter of fact, it is better to produce non-toxic products for the house as far as possible. Non-degradable products like tampons, sanitary napkins, and diapers should not be flushed down the toilet, for these can end up damaging the process of sewage treatment, and usually end up as litter on beaches. Refrain from throwing litter into streams, lakes, rivers, or seas. If you do spot litter on beaches or in water systems, after ascertaining that it is safe, collect them and dispose them off in any nearby waste disposal system.3. Global warming may cause the melting of the ice in the polar areas which may cause a radical change in the global climate. So what can we do about it?we should carry out actions to prevent Global Warming.1 reduce waste.Most products we bury cause greenhouse gas emissions in one or another way, for examples, during production and distribution. By taking our meals in a reusable box instead of a disposable one, we can save energy needed to produce new boxes.2 choose products that come with little packaging and buy refills also help against global warming.3 Taking a shower instead of a bath, which takes up to four times energy than a shower , can maximize the energy saving.4 Plant trees as many as we can,when a single tree can absorb ton-of carbon dioxide over its lifetime and provide shade to help reduce air conditioning.5 Taking the bus, the train, the subway or other forms of public transportation lessens the load on the roads and reduces one's individual greenhouse gas emissions.6 We can extend our positive influence on global warming well beyong our home by actively encouraging others to take action. We can encourage neighbors, supervisors, colleagues, and businesses to recycle more by using recycling bins, composting, etc.4. W ater is indispensible for our life and work; give some examples to illustrate it.Water covers 70 percent of the surface, and about 3 percent of it is drinkable (or potable) water. Our bodies are made up of about 60 to 70 percent water, and if you focus even further on specific organs, our need for continual hydration makes sense. Water acts as a messenger within our systems, carrying nutrients to cells and flushing waste and toxins out of our bodies. It also regulates our body temperature -- when it's too hot outside or we exercise, we sweat. As sweat evaporates, our bodies cool down to a manageable temperature.In the same way a car needs oil to run smoothly, our bodies need water. Just like oil, however, water needs to be replaced. Our bodies lose about 250 milliliters of water every day, and doctors recommend drinking at least eight glasses every day. If we don't, we become dehydrated, leading to headaches, fatigue and lack of concentration. And, although we can survive for weeks without food, it only takes a few days before a lack of water becomes fatal.视频51.W ould you take an active part in the price war if you were a retailer?I think it depends on the scale of my business.If I were a small online retailer,I would have no choice but to join the wave of price cut.In fact , in the price war,without making a profit, it is difficult to sustain.(However), if I were a online giant,I will fully prepare for battle,even initiate new price wars by creating festivals ou of nothing,such as "Double Twelves Festival".2.What is your viewpoint of the price war? Is it a beneficent cycle or vicious cycle?(In my opinion),it is a vicious cycle.As more and more online retailers joining the price war reluctantly or willingly,on one hand,it will cause conflicts with the current online shopping,on the other hand,the price war of such high frequency will hurt the whole industry.For many smaller business,without making a profit,price war would become a battle for survival.3. How can individual retailers maintain their position in the competitive online market?As price war breaking out fiercely,many customs has realized the truth of the price war.It is just a stunt that attractive people to deliver their purchase.So I think the quality of goods and the credit of individual retailers are more important than the price.For instant,many customs are frustrated by the delayed delivery,if you can guarantee your service is on time,you will get some regular customs,of course,if you can bring warmth to customs when you send the goods, it will be better.视频61.What measures do you think should be taken to balance food allocation? How to balance food allocation remains a thorny issue.While many in China leaves dishes practically untouched, a large number of people are still suffering from undernutrition.In my opinion,sufficient nutrients,different kinds of types and right proportion are very important.There is no need to have meat and fish in every meal,light food is better to health.In addition,eating more frequent,smaller meals helps keep health and curb food waste.2.Should we enforce laws to ban food waste?The answer is yes.It is necessary also important to condemn food waste and take measures to fight it.Just as the father of hybrid in China,Yuan Longping said:"our country has large population and relatively little arable land.We make great efforts to enhance rice output,but not for it to go to waste.The government should take measures to punish food waste.Waste is shameful,and should be seen as a crim. "3.Is it possible to change littered food into fertilizer?It is possible.In fact, recycling littered food need a lot of technical support,which includes the relevant equipment and workers.During the littered food processing,it will need a lot of time.In addition,food waste is critical, which increases the difficulty in processing the littered food.The video said:"recycling worker Sun Weihan drives a truck capable of carrying five tons of kitchen waste. He makes two journeys a day. But he says it’s not enough to collect all the kitchen waste from restaurants located on his assigned route." So changing littered food into fertilizer is not equal to we can waste food arbitrarily.In my view,using the least littered food to create the most fertilizer is the best choice.视频71.At the UN Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen in September,2009, the low-carbon life was mentioned for the first time. How do you understand the concept and why do we need to advocate the low-carbon lifestyle?howThe low-carbon life means that we should reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and live a life with low energy, low consumption and low spending. It will deeply influence the strategic choice of our human beings in the future. Everyone of us have the responsibility to have this healthy life style.低碳生活（low-carbon life）可以理解为：减少二氧化碳的排放,就是低能量、低消耗、低开支的生活。

Besides the three Du Pont entries, only 43 of the 400 entries on the most recent Forbes list represent people who got __8__ through inheritance.

The passages are followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of the questions and unfinished statements there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice ticking the corresponding letter before the choice.Passage 1When your parents advise you to "get an education" in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully drop out in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B.A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master's degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and is famous law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was '24000. While the full professors managed to earn just '23030.A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future. there are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or-worst of all-in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.1. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ______.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation's demands as a source of manpower2. Many Ph.D.s are out of job because ______.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money3. The nation is only interested in people ______.A. with diplomasB. who specialize in physics and chemistryC. who are valuable to the gross national productD. both A and C4. Which of the following is not true?A. Bernard Shaw didn't finish high schools, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you'll be overeducated for society's demands.5. The writer sees education as ______.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country's demands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one's horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should havePassage 2The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. "In Europe", said Thomas Jefferson, "the object is to make the most of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor, lard being abundant". It was in America, there fore, that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came. At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crudeplow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs: by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1990 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would home none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869, James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.6. The word "here" (Para. 1, line. 4) refers to ______.A. EuropeB. AmericaC. New JerseyD. Indiana7. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The reed for labor helped the invention of machinery in America.B. The farmer rejected Charles Newbold's plow for fear of ruin of their field.C. Both Europe and America had great need of farm machinery.D. It was in Indiana that the first chilled-steel plow was produced.8. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the agricultural revolutionB. the invention of labor-saving machineryC. the development of scientific agricultureD. the farming machinery in America9. At the opening of the nineteenth-century, farmers in America ______.A. preferred light toolsB. were extremely self-reliantC. had many portable toolsD. had very few tools10. Implied but not stated ______.A. There was a shortage of workers on American farmsB. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plowC. After 1869,many people devoted their attention to the plowD. Charles Newbolt had made a fortune by his cast-iron plowPassage 3We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as "regular" coffee and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity and many brands wereintroduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline). The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called market modification. It means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally designed for the military? Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new market sections. Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.11. According to the passage, when people grow fond of one particular brand of a product, its sales will ______.A. decrease graduallyB. become unstableC. improve enormouslyD. remain at the same level12. The first paragraph tells us that a new product is ______.A. usually introduced to satisfy different tastesB. often more expensive than old onesC. often inferior to old ones at firstD. not easily accepted by the public13. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to ______.A. work out marketing policiesB. increase its popularityC. promote its productionD. speed up its life cycle14. The author mentions the example of "backpacks" (Line 4, Para.2) to show theimportance of ______.A. increasing usage among studentsB. exploring new market sectionsC. pleasing the young as well as the oldD. serving both military and civil needs15. In order to recover their share of the world market, U.S. auto makers are ______.A. improving product qualityB. re-positioning their product in the marketC. modernizing product styleD. increasing product featuresPart four: TranslationSection A: (15%)Directions: In this part of the test, there are 5 sentences from your textbook. Translate the sentences into Chinese and write your Chinese versions of the sentences in the space provided below.1.Engineers should be curious about the “how” and “why” of natural andmechanical things and creative in finding new ways of doing things, able to analyze problems systematically and logically and to communicate well, and willing to work within strict budgets and meet tight deadlines.2.I acquired a very strong work ethic from my parents, both of whom lived throughthe Great Depression.3.It is estimated that the new interaction between computers and Net technologywill have significant influence on the industry of the future.4.Eventually, you may reach the point where you can afford to spend the rest ofyour life at the side of a swimming pool with a drink in your hand, but you probably won’t.5.Two people may choose different brands of toothpaste with the identical price,amount, and quality; each person believes that he or she is expressing his personality by choosing that brand.Section B: (10%)Directions: In this part of the test, there is a short passage.

美国和其他国家的公司都在中国有大幅度增加投资的机会。

现有的及近来签订的合资项目总数已达40个，价值约两亿美元。

这个数字正在迅速增加。

还有许多合资项目正在谈判之中。

中国已经采取了新的步骤以明确其法律和其他规章制度，以便为外国的投资者创造一个稳定的环境。

中美双边税务条约、新专利法；稳定的、组织良好的经济计划进程和正在谈判中的中美双边投资条约将为新的投资改善气候。

在原有的4个经济特区基础上再对外开放14个沿海城市，将进一步激励投资者。

我相信我们在座的各位都有兴趣来了解更多的这类情况以及它们的潜力。

潜在的美国投资者将继续想确保能获得足够的利润、满意的汇回利润条件，以及具有足够数量和合格的劳力。

近来的发展应当有助于使他们得到上述的保证。

当然，每个公司必须自己作出决定，正如中国当局也希望自己决定要哪些公司投资一样。

随着这些问题逐步解决，新的、前途远大的合资项目就会发展起来。

归根到底，今后是拥有资源和技术的美国私商而不是美国政府对中国有利。

美国公司同中国官方之间达成的谅解是这些公司发挥作用的关键。

1. In the 90s, with the international situation going through tremendous changes, it is very important for the two countries to step up their consultations and improve their mutual understanding in international affairs.2. We are very glad that Mr. Heath, an outstanding British statesman, has come to China for a friendly visit at the invitation of the Chinese Government.3. As we are both developing countries, having a common aspiration in improving the standard and quality of life of our people, I look forward, in the next few days, to the opportunity of learning something from your endeavors and experience in promoting economic and social development in the service of your people.4. Asia, a major component of the world economy, has witnessed robust economic growth which has in turn instilled vitality into the world economy and has opened vast markets for international trade and investment.。

谈到健康问题，我就没有什么可说的了，因为我没生过病。

我想吃什么就吃什么，想喝什么就喝什么，眼睛睁不开了就睡觉，从来不为对身体有益而搞什么活动，然而实际上我喜欢做的事大都是有助于增进身体健康的。

从心理方面来说，到了老年，有两种危险倾向需要注意防止。

一是过分地怀念过去。

老想着过去，总觉得过去怎么好怎么好，或者总是为已故的朋友而忧伤，这是不妥的。

一个人应当考虑未来，考虑一些可以有作为的事情。

要做到这一点并非总是很容易的；自己过去的经历就是一个越来越沉重的包裹。

人们往往会对自己说，我过去感情多么丰富，思想多么敏锐，现在不行了。

如果真是这样的话，那就不要去想它，而如果你不去想它，情形就很可能不是这样了。

另一件事要避免的事情就是老想和年轻人呆在一起，希望从青年的活力中汲取力量。

孩子们长大之后，就希望独立生活，如果你还像他们年幼时那样关心他们，你就会成为他们的累赘，除非他们特别麻木不仁。

我不是说一个人不应当关心孩子，而是说这种关心主要应该是多为他们着想，可能的话，给他们一些接济，而不应该过分地动感情。

动物，一旦它们的后代能够自己照顾自己，它们就不管了；但是人，由于抚养子女的时间长，是难以这样做的。

1.This newspaper believes that global warming is a serious threat, and that the world needs to take steps to try to avert it. That is the job of the politicians. But we do not believe that climate change is a certainty. There are no certainties in science. Prevailing theories must be constantly tested and refined. That is the job of the scientists. When they stop questioning orthodoxy, mankind will have given up the search for truth. The skeptics should not be silenced.2. Having been an athlete, coach and a sport administrator—and in particular having served as a technical delegate at the Olympics—I have learned that nothing in the Olympics Games is more important than the interest of the athletes.3. My fellow countrymen, for their part, share a strong desire to stage an excellent Olympic Games in Beijing, which as they see it, is a great contribution to the Olympic Movement. I therefore hope, from the bottom of my heart, that you, distinguished IOC members, will help them realize their long-cherished aspiration.。

Unit 5At staff room1. What day is it? Who found the office door unlocked over the weekend, and when? Who was thought to be responsible? What might be the consequence he has to face, and why does it have to be so serious a penalty?It’s Monday.Johnson found the office door unlocked over the weekend when he came in earlier this morning.Look(音是这个，但我不知这个名字怎么拼) was thought to responsible. He might be fired because of this.Because he has messed up some phone messages and he has come late a few times.2. Why is Steve certain that it was him rather than anyone else who is to blame for the whole thing? If you were Steve, what would you do and why? If you were Steve’s boss, what would you think of Steve and what would be your decision and why?First of all, Look definitely left before he did because he stayed a little late on Friday to finish some work. Second he recalled that he was worried about being late for the date which he almost forgot, so he left in a hurry. He didn’t even think about locking the door.If I were Steve, I would do the same. On one hand, if I don’t tellthe truth, someone innocent maybe punished on my account. On the other hand, if they finally find out that it was me other than some one else, the result will only be worse. As it says, the truth will go on. So I choose to be honest.I will think of Steve as the kind of person you can trust. Because he honestly told the truth knowing that he might be fired.Maybe I’ll only cut down his wages instead of some serious penalty to let him learn the lessons and be more careful in the future.Panel discussion: a drop in values?1. Are people on the panel in agreement that there is a drop in values? What does each speaker say to support that view?Tom doesn’t think the human nature has changed a lot. He thinks that most people still have essential moral values. But when people are face with situations where they could lose something or have something tremendous to gain by being honest, the human nature is tend to fudge the truth a little. Also when he was in school he lived in a town where that everybody was very friendly. They can trust each other. They never locked their house.Linda don’t say her opinions directly. But we can learn from her words that she doesn’t agree. But there are still time when you prefer not to tell the whole truth. She thinks it’s important for someone to come out and say maybe what other people don’t want to hear or to say somethingthat is against the concept of the office and present a new point of view.Adrain agrees. Because about 3.5 years ago, a stranger who had found his lost credit card returned it to him without hesitation.2. To what extent do you agree on the view “human nature tends to fudge the truth a little bit when it is beneficial to do so”? Do you think it is part of human nature to be tolerated or discouraged, and is it possible to discourage it? Why and how? (at least 150 words)I think the view “human nature tends to fudge the truth a little bit when it is beneficial to do so” does make sense. We have to admit we can’t find a person who is always telling the truth. There can be kinds of reasons, either good or bad. For example, you may say “well done” to your partner while actually he does have made a lot of mistakes. But you try not to discourage him. It explains a lot. Sometimes we have to fudge it a little in order not to hurt his self respect. So I think it’s part of human nature to be tolerated. In some occasions the truth hurts and can be very hard to accept. But we can’t do like this every time regarding of the results. Maybe only by telling the truth can we help him realize his own problem and correct it. So use it properly.Unit 6Time traveler1. What was the guy doing when he suddenly found himself in a completely different world? What are some of the cultural shocks he’sexperienced in this world?He was giving his wife a red boa for her birthday.First, he has a problem communicating with them because there are many words that he has never heard before such as an ID card, driver’s license, a credit card an ATM card and something like t hat.

Some science fictions on time travel are mainly about cultural shocks. Can you conceive of a time traveler of our time going back to 1960’s or even earlier, or vice versa? What would be some of the cultural shocks the traveler would encounter? Make a list of them or conceive a conversation as the traveler first sets foot in the different world.(1)He might be shocked that women and men seldom talk to each other unless they’re married.(2)A mother can give birth to 10 babies or even more.(3)Learned people are not as welcomed as today. People are encouraged to go to the fields.(4)Many people go to the countryside while people of our ages are making every effort to live in the city.Panel discussion: cultural shock or feeling of going back home?1. Tom went to Japan back in the 70’s, yet felt like being home, with noexperiences of cultural shocks. Does Tom explain why? What do you think may be an explanation for this? What does Peter think is a shame for tourists? Why?No.He said that he felt familiar and felt like at home. The reason might be that he had learned a lot about the Japanese culture before he went there. Perhaps he had seen many videos or read some books related to Japan.Peter thinks it is a shame for tourists that when they go abroad, they just stayed in a restrict instead of going out or venturing out to experience the customs and the traditions of the people who live there.He thinks that in such a big world we have l lot of things to learn. So we shouldn’t just lie in the swimming pool.2. What would you anticipate being in a different culture? Would it be a smooth transition or a difficult one? Does knowing the local language help? Would it make any difference if you were a visitor or someone intending for a much longer stay? What do you think could help to make the transition easier? (at least 150 words)If I were in a different culture, I could be totally freaked out because people can do things in a contrary way. Maybe I even don’t know which way to go.I guess it will be a very difficult transition for I’m the kind of person whohas a big problem getting used to the changes.Knowing the language helps a lot.It can be so different for a visitor and a person intending for a much longer stay. Visitors don’t contact with the natives as much as the longer To make the transition easier, you need to be fully prepared. You can take a language class if only to make sure that the local people can understand you when you are asking for help. You should also learn the customs there in case you make cultural mistakes and give them a wrong message that you do not respect them.Unit 8Describing a person’s qualities1.
