While there may be quarrels, you love each other and care for each other. For instance, although there is generation gap between parents and children, given that they consider things from the viewpoints of each other, obstacles can be overcome and the gap be bridged.Harmony could be seen in the respectful relations in the workplace/dorm room. In spite of occasional disagreements, you respect each other and still get along with each other. People from different family/education backgrounds tend to hold different attitudes to a certain issue. If they show their tolerance, problems can be solved.Moreover, harmony also exists in the mutual respect between teachers and students. On the one hand, a teacher adheres to a certain syllabus and teaching procedures, while at the same time, he/she also takes the learner’s needs into consideration and makes adjustments when necessary. On the other hand, the students should follow teachers’instructions and provide feedbacks and suggestions to them.In brief, when we live in harmony with each other, we live a happy life.•CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、D3、C4、B5、D6、AReading Comprehension1-5: ECGIA6-10: DGFHBParagraph Translation（翻译参考）Couplets of the Spring Festival are couplets hung on the columns of a hall in the Spring Festival’s Eve.

He was a successor of Confucius and has been called the “Second Sage" after Confucius. He spent his life traveling from country to country, lobbying the rulers from one feudal court to another, debating among the politicians, in the hope of finding some rulers who would follow his teachings. His philosophical thoughts were established in the process of his political activities and were compiled in a book bearing his name. The theory of benevolent governance is based on Mencius' belief that human beings are good by nature. He held that this goodness is innate and can be acquired without learning or thinking.•Unit TestsUnit Test - I1-5: ADBCC6-10: BCAAB11-15: CBBCB16-20: BDACCUnit Test - II1-5: CADBD（6）G. medieval（7）C. trusty（8）F. predecessors （9）N. absorbed（10）H. inquiry（11）I. misleadingly （12）K. systematically （13）M. mysterious （14）B. faculty（15）E. nervesTest II、CACDBCABDA•Textbook StudyListening1）through a different cultural lens2）serve you well3）an investment in your future4）perseverance and commitment5）will last a lifetime6）more sensitive and wiser international citizensText B1）22）1/113）34）45）56）67）88）79）910）12Writing（范文示例）(Before the party)I still remember the moment when I saw the poster of a Halloween Party on campus.

In the middle hall was the platform where teachers gave lectures. On both sides were then classrooms and dormitories, including a Temple of Confucius on the right. At the back stood the three-story Royal Library.Leaving from the back door, we climbed up to Yuelu Mountain. The famous Aiwan Pavillion, named after a poem by Dumu in Tang Dynasty, was hidden amid the green trees in the valley.The next stop:Descending from Yuelu Mountain, we had lunch and then took the bus to the next stop, the Orange Island in the middle of Xiangjiang River. The island was big and we had a sightseeing tour by bus. The driver also acted as the tour guide and introduced the attractions on the way, dropping us off occasionally to walk around and take pictures.Along the bank were green willow trees, and in the middle orange trees, flowers and grassland. At the southern end, there was a huge statue of Chairman Mao in his late 20s, together with some stone inscriptions of his poems.The end of the tour:When it was getting dark, our city tour also came to an end.

Almost every village in Southern China is surrounded by bamboo groves. The drooping bamboo leaves cross one another, as if they are composing the Chinese character "An" (tranquility). In the order of the Four Gentlemen (the seasons of the year), the bamboo represents the spirit of summer. But since the bamboo lasts through all seasons, it is frequently associated with pine and plum as the "Three Winter Friends”. The bamboo is considered a gentleman with perfect virtues. It combines integrity with accommodating flexibility; it has the perfect balance of grace and strength, or the Yin and the Yang. When the storm comes, the bamboo bends with the wind. When the storm ceases, it resumes its upright position. Its ability to cope with adversity has always been admired by Chinese people.•Unit TestsUnit Test - I1-5: ADCDC6-10: BCBAC11-15: CBBCB16-20: BCCBCUnit Test - II1-5: BACDB（6）F. carefree （7）C. southwest （8）D. quaint（9）K. upon（10）N. pedestals （11）I. spectacular （12）L. dressed （13）A. filled （14）H. species （15）M. embroidered16-20: BAADC21-25: BDCDDU7•Textbook StudyListening1）undergoing dramatic change2）digital media culture3）embracing the new technologies 4）valuable target market5）new-media content6）digital marketplace7）academic research8）holds both promiseText BA：31B：a b c e f hgdWriting（范文示例）Concession: Despite some criticism, E-learning is changing our way of learning and even the form of education.Argument: More and more people, including researchers, teachers and of course students, hold the opinion that E-learning, instead of traditional classroom settings, should be a dominant approach to education.Reason 1: E-learning is convenient in that students can study anywhere they have access to a computer and Internet connection, thus reducing travel time and travel costs for off-campus students.Reason 2: E-learning offers the flexibility that the traditional classroom can not. Class work can be scheduled around work and family. Self-paced learning modules allow students to work at their own pace. Moreover, E-learning can accommodate different learning styles and facilitate learning through a variety of activities.Reason 3: E-learning, through developing knowledge of the Internet and computer skills, will help learners throughout their lives and careers.Conclusion: E-learning can be a good choice to supplement the traditional classroom and can also be a major form of adult education and lifelong education.•CET-Oriented StudyListening1-5: CCAACBanked Cloze（1）E. multiple（2）J. combing（3）G. fingertips（4）A. reliant（5）L. capitalize（6）N. previously（7）M. stuck（8）I. neglected（9）H. strength（10）K. respondsParagraph Translation（翻译参考）China intended to issue a digital currency as soon as possible, the central bank said Wednesday, a move that could help the yuan offset the global dominance of the US dollar and limit capital outflows.
