2014年12月英语六级作文题目及范文2014年12月英语六级作文真题及范文:学历歧视【参考范文】From the cartoon given above, we can observe that there is a recruiter talking with an interviewee. When looking at the resume submitted by the candidate, the interviewer says,“Sorry, kid… Your resume looks good, but you only have a Master’s degree…All the other applicants are Ph.D. ! ” Having heard these words, the applicant seems to be quite helpless and embarrassed.The cartoon reveals that the society has been placing a higher value on educational degree. What factors might contribute to this phenomenon? Answers to this question may involve many aspects, and here are a few guesses: for one thing, from the subjective aspect, quite a few employers hold that the higher educational degree people have, the more competent they will be. For another, from the objective aspect, with the professions in modern society becoming increasingly segmented, employees are required to acquire higher degree to fulfill their tasks efficiently.Definitely, higher degrees enjoy obvious advantages. However, it is not advisable that employers judge a person only by his/ her educational backgrounds. Let alone “Degree Discrimination”. As for ourselves, we should not only attach a great importance to educational degree, but also spare no efforts to enhance our comprehensive abilities.【简评】2014年12月20日六级真题,写作部分打破了2014年6月14日六级写作的出题风格,具有以下四大大特点:1. 反押题:此次作文,不再考察2011年12月、2012年12月、2013年6、13月和2014年6月共5次“全英文引语、名言警句”作文的惯例,继2012年6月之后,第二次考察漫画作文;2. 易审题:依旧没有考察考生“审题能力”以及“跑题偏题”的可能性,作文的主题非常开放而明显,所有考生都有话好说;相对2014年12月上午四级作文而言,六级的作文相对“不够接地气,不够生活会化”,而是与“络、文化、心态”等这样传统话题有关,看似题目很大,其实难度较小;3. 重语言:主题明确,不会跑题,考生比拼的就是“语言质量”本身了。
2014年12月英语六级作文范文(友版)As is shown in the picture, a teacher is asking a student a very easy math question of 2+2, but surprisingly, he answers that he is going to use technology to solve this problem. Simple as the picture is , it makes us consider whether technology is necessary in education.As far as I am concerned, the technology is useful in our education. There are several reasons responsible for my arguments. First and foremost, it can help students have access to the wide range of information. For example, the teacher not only can present the contents through PPT but also show students pictures and videos, and let students accept and understand what they learn easily. Secondly, we can save a lot of paper. The teachers just need to put the contents in the PPT ,in order to protect our environment. Last but not least, the teacher can use long-distance(LD) education to teach, and other teachers can join in the class and share a wealth of useful information with students.From what I said, we can safely draw the conclusion that technology is good if we use them in a correct way in a certain extent.。
2014年12月大学英语六级精选作文(二)一Hiring Celebrities as Visiting Professors1. 目前有不少大学请明星当客座教授2. 对这一现象人们看法不同3. 我的看法参考范文:Hiring Celebrities as Mating ProfessorsVia Internet or other means of mass media,it is commoE to teamthat some super stars are employed as a guest professor of a universityT Whether it is helpful to hire personages for a university's development onhot debate from the very beginning.There are two voices: Some people think that stars’ social in fluence can do good to the enrollment of a university and raise its social degreesof approval. Besides, universities should open to society and take advantage of various social resources,inclusive of celebrities1 life experience and struggling adventure. However, others hold the opposite viewpoint. They think that a professor under a star's name is just ai)advertising stunt, and has no practical meaning to the development of the imiversity. It also diverts students* attention from their academic study.In my view, just as a coin has two sides, the inviting of celebrities as guest professors has both good and bad efFecU. Thus I think colleges should evaliiate the possible results thoroughly, and their choices should be based on the improvement of teaching standards and students, development. Universities should also take the features of their relevant disciplines into consideration before hiring some celebrity as a visiting professor.二Equality of Education Opportunity1. 近年来出现一些教育不公平的现象2. 出现这些现象的原因和后果3. 为了改变这种状况,我认为…【作文范文】Equality of Education OpportunityThe recent years the problems which are caused by the inequality of education opportunity have attracted the public's attention. For instance,the backward teaching facilities and dilapidated school buildings tn rural areas are in sharp contrast to those advanced facilities and well-equipped classrooms in urban areas, students from poor families can,t go to universities because of the high tuition.There are several factors which contribute lo these problems. First, the distribution of resources is unbalanced between rural and urban schools- Second, educational loans for poor students are far from enough. Third, the inequality in some schools* admission policies also turns many studeats away. The education inequality can have many bad impacts. On the one hand, it can affect people’s future employment. On the other hand,it is the root of many social problems.To change this situation, I think, we should take the following measures. Firstly, the government spending on education should be increased and the allocation of public resources gives prbrity to rural and weak urban schools. Secondlyj the implementation of the government financial aid system for students should be accelerated. Thirdly, the government should speed up education reforms to ensure everyone has equal access to schools.三读经典书的重要性The importance of reading classicsAs many people say, reading classics plays a significant role to one's growing. because all of the classics are the positive results of wisdom. we can learn much knowledge and become more intelligent by reading them. especially, when we are during our growing time, it helps us get many right minds to reading more famous books.however, now people who enjoy reading those classical books are getting less and less. there are a lot of reasons for this phenomena. to begin with, there are many other leisure activities in the modern society, young men go to do these things instead of reading. what's more,many people prefer some other books to classics because they think classics are useless.I think, we university men should take some effective actions to prevent the situation. we should read classics as many as possible in our spare time, and we shouldn't just scan those words and phrases over our minds but to use your head to think more about those.四电视广告Advertisements on TVNowadays there are more and more advertisements on TV ,they appear either before a tv program or after it ,and sometimes even inserted between episodes of a tv serial plays,and the time of which is becoming longer and longer ,which is so boring ,and many watchers cannot wait but switch to other channels. but why this phenomenahas appeared ,the reason may be two .at the first place ,it is a methodforbusinessmen in such a highly competitive market to make their goods known by customers ,which will improve the sales amounts .At the second place ,it is a chance for the tv station to earn money to support their programs .if i am given the chance to meet the leader of tv station ,i would like to suggest them decreasethe amounts of the advertisements relatively .maybe doing this will lose some profits, but instead,the audience rating will be improved largely.五领导力Leadershipwhat is leadership?its qualities are difficult to define. but they are not so difficult to identify. leaders don ' t force other people to go along with them. they bring them along.leaders get commitment from others by giving it themselves, by building an environment that encourages creativity, and by operating with honesty and fairness.good leaders aren' t"lone rangers. "they recognize that an organization' s strategies for success require the combined talents and efforts of many people. leadership is the catalyst for transforming those talents into results.successful leaders are emotionally and intellectually oriented to the future--not wedded to the past. they have a hunger to take responsibility, to innovate, andto initiate. they are not content with merely taking care of what' s already there. they want to move forward to create something new.leaders provide answers as well as direction, offer strength as well as dedication, and speak from experience as well as understanding of the problems they face and the peopie they work with.leaders are flexible rather than dogmatic. they believe in unity rather than yielding. and they strive to achieve agreements out of conflict.leadership is all about getting people consistently to give their best, helping them to grow to their fullest potential, and motivating them to work toward a common good. leaders make the right things happen when they're supposed to.a good leader, an effective leader, is one who has respect. respect is something you have to have in order to get.a leader who has respect for other people at all levels of an organization, for the work they do, and for their abilities, desires and needs, will find that respect is returned. and all concerned will be motivated to work together.六汽车的利与弊Advantages and Disadvantages of Private Carsadvantages and disadvantages of private cars with the fantastic spur both in industry and in economy in china, the number of people who own private cars is on the rise. some people have bought cars of their own, and others are planning to buy cars. but there have been two quite different views on this phenomenon.some claim that there are many advantages brought about by cars. first, the automobile industry provides jobs for countless workers and strong support for other industries. second, ifconditions permit, owning a car can make us work more efficiently. finally, life will become more convenient.a car allows one to move freely and with a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the cold or under the burning sun. however, others strongly object to the increase in developing private cars. they hold that automobiles will give rise to a series of problems. in the first place, as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere and causing actual harm to the health of people. next, private cars contribute to traffic congestion so greatly that the advantages gained in comfort and freedom are often cancelled out by the frustration caused by traffic jams. the last problem is the increasing number of car accidents that have killed and will kill a lot of people in a friction of a second.in my opinion, although automobiles have been playing a vital part in the daily activities of our society, they also bring us numerous troubles such as more serious environmental pollution, more traffic accidents and more energy consumption. they drink up huge amounts of fuel and throw out huge amounts of pollutants. traffic accidents kill thousands and thousands of people each year and cripple more. jams waste our precious time. therefore i am against developing private cars.。
CET6答案:2014年12月英语六级作文范文(友版)There is No Shortcut to LearningAs is vividly demonstrated in the cartoon, a librarian, pointing to her right side, is telling a student looking for a book informing people how to avoid studying that it belongs to the fiction section. The cartoonist is implying to us that there is no shortcut to learning.Admittedly, there are a few smart people around us who are doing well at school without spending much time in study. However, it is widely known that no pains no gains, which means the common people, just like us, have to devote all their efforts in their study to hit a high score in examinations and get perpared for their future careers. For example, President Mao Zedong, our great leader and founding father, was always a good students because he spent every possible minute in reading, which is why he became so resourceful to conduct the revolution successfully.According to the discussion above, we students should not dream about an easy pass in exams. On the contrary, to study hard is the only way to success.。
2014.12六级作文范例Test 1The Influence of Mobile Phone on Students As is described in the picture, a teacher asks a student to listen carefully. Instead of putting down his mobile phone immediately, the student thinks that he needs to send a message. Nowadays mobile phones are becoming more and more popular among students. They have been affected a lot from these gadgets.Apparently, the impacts of mobile phones on students are diverse. F or one thing, it’s convenient for students to get in touch with their parents, who want them to carry mobile phones for the sake of safety. In the parents’minds, mobile phone is a tracking tool to know the whereabouts of their children. For another, using mobile phone is a distraction to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Sometimes students even use mobile phones to cheat in tests.In conclusion, mobile phones could have both good and bad effects on students. Therefore, parents need to think it over before making a decision to purchase mobile phones for their children. Moreover, students should learn how to use the mobile phones in a proper way.Test 2On the Importance of Real-name Ticketing System As graphically depicted in the above picture, Zhang San used his ID card to buy the train ticket and the scalper couldn’t resell him a ticket at an inflated price. With the emergence of real-name ticketing system, we are supposed to ponder its impacts.New as the system is, it is a good way to regulate ticket saleand crack down on scalpers. Moreover, the system makes tickets easier to buy and helps solve the problem of ticket shortages. In addition, losing train tickets no longer means losing seats with the adoption of thissystem. Those who lose train tickets can regain new tickets to use the seats they originally booked after showing their ID cards and ticket information. However, we should not turn a blind eye to the flaws of the system. For instance, the real-name system for ticket may lead to the information disclosure of ticket buyers.In short, China Railway Corporation still needs to roll out the measures to improve the real-name ticketing system as well as to protect the interests of real-name ticket holders.Test 3Writing“There isn’t anything noble about being superior to another person. True nobility is in being superior to the person you once were.”That means meaningless comparison with other people is not nobility; the true one is comparing with oneself. Based on this, I think modesty is true nobility.People have various kinds of life, so being superior to another person makes no sense, let alone being noble. For example, our late respectful leader Liu Shaoqi often interacted with workers and farmers, saying that the difference of various kinds of work lay in different task allocations, not in that one is superior to another. Although he was in high authority, he still stayed modest, treating everybody equally, no matter which class they belong to. This is why he has been, up to now, respected and commemorated by Chinese people and even people in some other countries.If you are modest, you can be respected by others. If youthink yourself as a Mr. know-it-all, you may become short-sighted and conceited. Modesty is the secret to make progress. One that is modest is not necessarily noble, but modesty surely is a principal quality for a nobleman.Test 4WritingAs for life, it is how you react to it rather than what happens to you that counts. This c an be best echoed by the saying “Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it.”Indeed, it is more often that you are defeated by yourself than by your life.We are living in an ever-changing world and we may encounter some unexpected situations, including natural disasters and personal hardship. We’ve heard about many cases that some miners miraculously survived several days after being trapped underground due to worksite accidents. It is their strong will to live that has supported them to hold on until the rescuers come to help them. By contrast, there are some people who are not brave enough to face the failures or difficulties in their life. Whenever they meet with a setback, they just shrink back. Therefore, it is often impossible for those people to get over the difficulties and learn.Generally speaking, life treats everyone fairly. You may lose something at a time and then you will gain something else at another time. No matter what life changes happen to you, what you should do is just to react to it in a positive way.Test 5My View on CooperationThere is a Chinese saying that “Two heads are better than one”, which means that two people are cleverer than one. Thisproverb indicates that we can make things simpler with others’he lp than by ourselves.In other words, it aims at informing us of the importance of cooperation. In the modern society, we should learn to cooperate withothers. It is generally believed that cooperation is of great importance to the final success of both a team and its members. Since a man’s energy is too limited, it is cooperation that can integrate the strengths of each member in a group and contribute to the achievement of their target. If every individual in a group can cooperated with each other actively, their objects can be efficiently accomplished through their shared efforts.Without cooperation, however, a person or a group is unable to accomplish much. We should always bear in mind that in such a competitive world, no individuals or organizations can achieve success without cooperation. Only when we know how to cooperate with others can we achieve our objectives more smoothly.Test 6Writing“Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.”This remark reminds me of the lines written by a prominent Chinese poet Su Shi: “The true face of Lushan is lost to my sight, for it is right in this mountain that I reside.” Indeed, in order to see things clearly and avoid one-sided and inadequate conclusions, we must take a step back to have a panoramic view.I still remember when I was a little boy, I used to get blamed when I made a mistake. At that time, all I did was crying and shouting “bad dad” or “bad mum”. Only when I grow up doI realize that the blame was intended to prevent me from making the same mistake again. It is a period of time later that I see the “blames”through. The heart once filled with anger is now full of gratitude.Just as another proverb goes, “Those closely involved cannot see as clearly as those outside.”The position we take is important for observing things. To see things through, we need to focus on theessence of things, try not to be trapped by the false appearance, and learn to change the perspective of observation occasionally.On Taking CET Repeatedly1. 现在许多考生为了得高分,多次参加大学英语等级考试2. 有人对这种做法不赞成3. 我的看法In recent years, many college students are laying great stress on CET exams. In order to get high marks in the exams many students are taking CET time and time again although they have passed it. When “CET season”approa ches, campuses are filled with students occupied with CET preparations.However, some people disapprove the idea of taking CET repeatedly for high scores. Although CET application fee is not high, taking the exams constantly can be a considerable financial burden. Moreover, it’s a waste of time to prepare for it every year, when you can do something more meaningful during the golden time in college. In addition, rather than focusing on CET, students should strive to develop other kinds of abilities.As far as I’m concerned, it’s understandable to take CET repeatedly for higher marks to be more competitive in the job market. If our future job requires a good mastery of English, wecan step further to take high-level exams such as TOEFL or IELTS. But if it doesn't, we should not waste our lime and energy to take CET repeatedly.。

2014年12月大学生六级英语作文第二套The global landscape has undergone significant transformations in the past decade, marked by the rapid advancement of technology, the increasing interconnectedness of nations, and the evolving demands of the modern workforce. As a college student, I find myself navigating this dynamic environment, constantly seeking ways to enhance my skills and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. The 2014 December CET-6 College Student English Essay Set 2 provides a thought-provoking platform to explore the multifaceted nature of these changes and their implications for our future.One of the most striking features of our modern world is the ubiquity of technology and its profound impact on our daily lives. From the way we communicate and access information to the manner in which we conduct business and engage with our communities, the digital revolution has ushered in a new era of possibilities. As college students, we are at the forefront of this technological transformation, leveraging digital tools and platforms to enhance our learning experiences, collaborate with peers, and stay connected with the global community.However, the integration of technology into our lives also presents a unique set of challenges that we must navigate with care. The constant influx of information and the pressure to remain constantly connected can lead to feelings of overwhelm and a lack of focus. Moreover, the rapid pace of technological change requires us to continuously update our skills and knowledge, lest we fall behind in a highly competitive job market.To address these challenges, it is essential that we develop a well-rounded set of skills that transcend the confines of our academic disciplines. Effective communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities are not only vital for success in the classroom but also essential for thriving in the workplace and beyond. By cultivating these transferable skills, we can position ourselves as adaptable and versatile individuals, capable of navigating the ever-changing landscape of the 21st century.In addition to the technological advancements that have transformed our world, the increasing interconnectedness of nations has also had a profound impact on our lives as college students. The globalization of education, the rise of international exchange programs, and the growing demand for cross-cultural competencies have all contributed to the need for a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and perspectives.As we engage with peers from different backgrounds and immerse ourselves in international experiences, we are challenged to step outside of our comfort zones, to embrace new ways of thinking, and to develop a greater appreciation for the richness of human diversity. This exposure not only broadens our intellectual horizons but also equips us with the skills and mindset necessary to thrive in an increasingly globalized world.Moreover, the interconnectedness of nations has also given rise to a new set of global challenges, such as climate change, economic instability, and public health crises. As college students, we have a unique opportunity to contribute to the search for solutions to these complex issues, leveraging our knowledge, creativity, and passion to drive positive change.By engaging in cross-disciplinary collaborations, participating in international research initiatives, and advocating for sustainable policies, we can play a crucial role in shaping a more equitable and resilient future for all. This sense of global citizenship and social responsibility is not only a valuable asset in the job market but also a deeply fulfilling aspect of our personal and professional development.Finally, the evolving demands of the modern workforce have alsohad a significant impact on the educational landscape, requiring college students to adapt and acquire a diverse set of skills to remain competitive. The days of pursuing a single career path are long gone, and the modern job market is characterized by a high degree of fluidity and flexibility.As a result, college students must be prepared to embrace lifelong learning, continuously updating their knowledge and skills to stay relevant in an ever-changing job market. This may involve pursuing additional certifications, engaging in internships and apprenticeships, or exploring entrepreneurial opportunities that allow us to develop a unique set of competencies.Moreover, the growing emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and the need for employees who can seamlessly navigate complex problems and work effectively in diverse teams have also transformed the way we approach our studies. By fostering a culture of cross-disciplinary learning and encouraging students to explore the intersections between different fields, colleges and universities can better prepare us for the challenges of the modern workplace.In conclusion, the 2014 December CET-6 College Student English Essay Set 2 provides a valuable platform to reflect on the multifaceted changes that have shaped our world and the implications for our future as college students. From the rapidadvancement of technology to the increasing interconnectedness of nations and the evolving demands of the modern workforce, these transformations present both challenges and opportunities for us to navigate.By cultivating a well-rounded set of skills, embracing global perspectives, and preparing for the dynamic nature of the job market, we can position ourselves as adaptable and resilient individuals, ready to tackle the complex issues of our time and contribute to the creation of a more sustainable and equitable future.

You should start your essay with a brief descripti on of the picture and the n discuss whether tech no logy is indispensable in education. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more tha n 200 words.From this cartoon, we clearly see that the student is asking his teacher about whether or not he can use some tech support to figure out the problem in his math class. W'ts beh ind the carto on is the fact that no wadays stude nts become in creas in gly depe ndenton tech no logical devices to help them with their school work.In my opi nio n, with the adva nces in tech no logy, stude nts can lear n more efficie ntly. First of all,technology provides infinite resources for learning. When our parents were students, they could only learn from their teachers, while nowadays, we can learn much more from the Internet. Second, it 's more convenient to learn with tech support. For example, I got enrolled in a Spanish class in an online school called Hujiang Online Class. All it requires is a PC or a smartphone, and I can learn the lectures anytime and anywhere. Lastly, it 's more economical to learn online. Besides the courses, free Apps are also easily accessible.As for me, tech support has become an important part in my daily study. I will continue to learn in this way, and I believe that we can learn more efficiently if we are able to utilize the technologies around us.2014年12月英语六级作文真题范文2:科技与学习参考范文:The picture vividly depicts that a teaching is asking a pupil to answer a simple math-related question——what' s two plus two? Unfortunately, the child cannot answer such an easy question without tech help. In fact, the phenomenon conveyed in the picture does not surprise us, because as the science and technology develops, the topic concerning the side effects of technological advancement increasingly arouses peop'le s attention.Undoubtedly, the drawer of the picture aims at reminding us that we should use technology in a proper way and not be too tech-dependent to solve the simple problem independently. It is well known that thanks to the development of human civilization, many formerly unimaginable things come into reality. But, while enjoying the convenience produced by tech, we must alert its harm. Being over-addicted to technology will cost our health, independence, wisdom,creativity and even our ability to live.Weighing the pros and cons of the technology, perhaps the best policy is to apply it properly. At the same time, we must avoid its harmful part. Furthermore, young people should be advised that depending too much on technology is hardly beneficial for them at all and more importantly they are expected to acquire the capacity to think independently.范文译文:这幅图形象地描述了一位老师正在让一名小学生回答一个简单的数学问题:2 加2 等于几?然而不幸的是,这个小孩在没有计算器的帮助下居然无法回答一个如此简单的问题。
2014年12月大学英语六级考试真题(三)答案详解作文范文:On Diploma Discrimination in Job InterviewAs is vividly shown in the cartoon,an applicant with a master's degree was rejected in a job interview by an interviewer because all the other applicants are Ph.D.s.The applicant seems quite helpless and embarrassed. Simple as the cartoon may seem,it conveys a thought-provoking message that people are exaggerating the significance of educational degrees excessively,which inevitably exerts a negative influence in society.What factors might contribute to diploma discrimination?Answers to this question may involve many aspects,and here are a few guesses:on the one hand,quite a few employers hold that the higher degree people have,the more competent they will be.Of course this is not necessarily a logical viewpoint,because certificates cannot prove one's capability.On the other hand,due to increase of enrollment,too many students graduate from universities and colleges year after year,and the number is still growing;however,society fails to provide adequate posts,whichresults in the companies'too picky attitude on diploma since they don't worry about lacking candidates.In my opinion,the public should realize that real ability speaks much louder than a piece of paper.Only in this way can China's economy keep booming.Section C26.floating【精析】句意推断题。

And it’s much too expensive.W: I can just imagine a scene with a typist sitting on an old-fashioned typing chair, her back aching, exhaus ted, then we show her in one of your chairs. Her back properly supported filling full of energy, typing twice as quickly.M: Before you get carried away with your little scene, Ms. Wezmore, I regret to have to tell you again that we are not planning to go into television.W: That’s a shame.

Few foreign universities put much emphasis on the cozy communal life that characterizes American campuses from clubs and sports teams to student publications and drama societies. “The campus and the American university have bec ome identical in people’s minds,” says Brown University President Vartan Gregorian. “In America it is assumed that a student’s daily life is as important as his learning experience.”F oreign students also come in search of choices. America’s menu of options—research universities, state institutions, private liberal-arts schools, community colleges, religious institutions, military academies—is unrivaled. “In Europe,” says history profes sor Jonathan Steinberg, who has taught at both Harvard and Cambridge, “there is one system, and that is it.” While students overseas usually must demonstrate expertise in a specific field, whether law or philosophy or chemistry, most American universities insist that students sample natural and social sciences, languages and literature before choosing a field of concentration.Such opposing philosophies grow out of different traditions and power structures. In Europe and Japan, universities are answerable only to a ministry of education, which sets academic standards and distributes money.While centralization ensures that all students are equipped with roughly the same resources and perform at roughly the same level, it also discourages experimentation. “When they make mistakes, they make big ones,” says Robert Rosenzweig, president of the Association of American Universities. “They set a system in wrong directions, and it’s like steering a supertanker.”问题:16.

Releasing The ReignsChanging OthersOur perception of humanity as a whole is, to a large extent, dualistic. We paint people with a broad brush—some are like us, sharing our opinions and our attitudes, while others are different. Our commitment to values we have chosen to embrace is often so strong that we are easily convinced that our way is the right way. We may find ourselves frustrated by those who view the world from an alternate vantage point and make use of unusual strategies when coping with life's challenges. However ardently we believe that these people would be happier and more satisfied following our lead, we should resist the temptation to try to change them. Every human being has been blessed with a unique nature that cannot be altered by outside forces. We are who we are at any one point in our lives for a reason, and no one person can say for certain what another should be like.The reasons we try to change one another are numerous. Since we have learned over time to flourish in the richness of lives we have built, we may come to believe that we are qualified to speak on behalf of the greater source. The sum total of our knowledge will never compare to what we do not know, however, and our understanding of others’ lives will forever be limited. The potential we see in the people who are a part of our lives will never be precisely the same as our own, so we do these individuals a disservice when we make assumptions about their intentions, preferences, and goals. Our power lies in our ability to accept others for all their quirks and differences and to let go of the need to control every element of our existence. We can love people for who they are, embracing their uniqueness, or we can love them as human beings from afar.Your ability to influence people may grow more sophisticated because others sense that you respect their right to be themselves, but you will likely spend more time gazing inward, into the one person you can change: yourself.。

Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.High School Sports Aren’t Killing AcademicsA)In this month’s Atlantic cover article, “The Case Against High-School Sports,” Amanda Ripley argues that school-sponsored sports programs should be seriously cut. She writes that, unlike most countries that outperform the United States on international assessments, American schools put too much of an emphasis on athletics, “ Sports are embedded in American schools in a way they are not almost anywhere else,” she writes, “Yet this difference hardly ever comes up in domestic debates about America’s international mediocrity(平庸)in education.”B)American student-athletes reap many benefits from participating in sports, but the costs to the schools could outweigh their benefits, she argues, In particular, Ripley contends that sports crowd out the academic missions of schools: America should learn from South Korea and Finland and every other country at the top level of international test scores, all of whom emphasize athletics far less in school. ”Even in eighth grade, Americankids spend more than twice the time Korean kids spend playing sports,” she writes, citing a 2010 study published in the Journal of Advanced Academics.C)It might well be true that sports are far more rooted in American high schools than in other countries. But our reading of international test scores finds no support for the argument against school athletics. Indeed, our own research and that of others lead us to make the opposite case. School-sponsored sports appear to provide benefits that seem to increase, not detract(减少)from, academic success.D)Ripley indulges a popular obsession(痴迷)with international test score comparisons, which show wide and frightening gaps between the United States and other countries. She ignores, however, the fact that states vary at least as much in test scores as do developed countries. A 2011 report from Harvard University shows that Massachusetts produces math scores comparable to South Korea and Finland, while Mississippi scores are closer to Trinidad and Tobago. Ripley’s thesis about sports falls apart in light of this fact. Schools in Massachusetts provide sports programs while schools in Finland do not. Schools in Mississippi may love football while in Tobago interscholastic sports are nowhere near as prominent. Sports cannot explain these similarities in performance. They can’t explain international differences either.E)If it is true that sports undermine the academic mission of American schools, we would expect to see a negative relationship between the commitment to athletics and academic achievement. However, the University of Arkansas’s Daniel Bowen and Jay Greene actually find the opposite. They examine t his relationship by analyzing schools’ sports winning percentages as well as student-athletic participation rates compared to graduation rates and standardized test score achievement over a five-year period for all public high schools in Ohio. Controlling for student poverty levels, demographics(人口统计状况), and district financial resources, both measures of a school’s commitment to athletics are significantly and positively related to lower dropout rates as well as higher test scores.F)On-the-field success and high participation in sports is not random-it requires focus and dedication to athletics. One might think this would lead schools obsessed with winning to deemphasize academics. Bowen and Greene’s results contradict that argument. A likely explanation for this seemingly counterintuitive(与直觉相反的)result is that success in sports programs actually facilitates or reflects greater social capital within a school’s community.G)Ripley cites the writings of renowned sociologist James Coleman, whose research in education was groundbreaking. Coleman in his early work held athletics in contempt, arguing that they crowded out schools’ academic missions. Ripley quotes his 1961 study, The Adolescent Society, where Coleman writes, “Altogether, the trophy(奖品)case would suggest to the innocent visitor that he was entering an athletic club, not an educational institution.”H)However, in later research Coleman would show how the success of schools is highly dependent on what he termed social capital, “the social networks, and the relationships between adults and children that are of value for the child’s growing up.”I)According to a 2013 evaluation conducted by the Crime Lab at the University of Chicago, a program called Becoming a Man-Sports Edition creates lasting improvements in the boys’ study habits and grade point averages. During the first year of the program,students were founds to be less likely to transfer schools or be engaged in violent crime. A year after the program, participants were less likely to have had an encounter with the juvenile justice system.J)If school-sponsored sports were completely eliminated tomorrow, many American students would still have opportunities to participate in organized athletics elsewhere, much like they do in countries such as Finland, Germany, and South Korea. The same is not certain when it comes to students from more disadvantaged backgrounds. In an overview of the research on non-school based after-school programs, researchers find that disadvantaged children participate in these programs at significantly lower rates. They find that low-income students have less access due to challenges with regard to transportation, non-nominal fees, and off-campus safety. Therefore, reducing or eliminating these opportunities would most likely deprive disadvantaged students of the benefits from athletic participation, not least of which is the opportunity to interact with positive role models outside of regular school hours.K)Another unfounded criticism that Ripley makes is bringing up the stereotype that athletic XX are typically lousy(蹩脚的)classroom teachers. “American principals, unlike the XX XX of principals around the world, make many hiring decisions with their sports teams in mind, which does not always end well for students,” she writes. Educators who seek employment at schools primarily for the purpose of coaching are likely to shirk(推卸)teaching responsibilities, the argument goes. Moreover, even in the cases where the employee is a teacher first and athletic coach second, the additional responsibilities that come with coaching likely comes at the expense of time otherwise spent on planning, grading, and communicating with parents and guardians.L)The data, however, do not seem to confirm this stereotype. In the most rigorous study on the classroom results of high school coaches, the University of Arkansas’s Anna Egalite finds that athletic coaches in Florida mostly tend to perform just as well as their non-coaching counterparts, with respect to raising student test scores. We do not doubt that teachers who also coach face serious tradeoffs that likely come at the expense of time they could dedicate to their academic obligations. However, as with sporting events, athletic coaches gain additional opportunities for communicating and serving as mentors(导师)that potentially help students succeed and make up for the costs of coaching commitments.M)If schools allow student-athletes to regularly miss out on instructional time for the sake of traveling to athletic competitions, that’s bad. However, such issues would be better addressed by changing school and state policies with regard to the scheduling of sporting events as opposed to total elimination. If the empirical evidence points to anything, it points towards school sponsored sports providing assets that are well worth the costs.N)Despite negative stereotypes about sports culture and Ripley’s presumption that academics and athletics are at odds with one another, we believe that the greater body of evidence shows that school-sponsored sports programs appear to benefit students. Successes on the playing field can carry over to the classroom and vice versa(反之亦然). More importantly, finding ways to increase school communities’ social capital is imperative to the success of the school as whole, not just the athletes.46.Stunets from low-income families have less access to off-campus sports programs.47.Amanda Ripley argues that America should learn from other countries that rank high in international tests and lay less emphasis on athletics.48.According to the author,Amanda Ripley fails to note that stunents'performance in exams varies from state to state.49.Amanda Ripley thinks that athletic coaches are poor at classroom instruction.50.James Coleman's later resrarch make an argument for a school's social capital.51.Reaearchers find that there is a ppsitive relationship between a school's commitment to athletics and academic achievements.52.Aa rigorous study finds that athletic coaches also do well in raising students'test scores.53.According to an evaluation,spograms contribute to students's academic preformance and character building.54.Amanda Ripley believes the emphasis on school sports shuold be brought up when trying to understand why Aamerican students are mediocre.55.James Coleman suggests in his earlier writings that school athletics would undermine a school's image.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. . You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage oneIt is easy to miss amid the day-to-day headlines of global economic recession, but there is a less conspicuous kind of social upheaval(剧变)underway that is fast altering both the face of the planet and the way human beings live. That change is the rapid acceleration of urbanization. In 2008, for the first time in human his tory, more than half the world’s population was living in towns and cities. And as a recently published paper shows, the process of urbanization will only accelerate in the decades to come—with an enormous impact on biodiversity and potentially on climate change.As Karen Seto, the led author of the paper, points out, the wave of urbanization isn’t just about the migration of people into urban environments, but about the environments themselves becoming bigger to accommodate all those people. The rapid expansion of urban areas will have a huge impact on biodiversity hotspots and on carbon emissions in those urban areas.Humans are the ultimate invasive species—when the move into new territory, the often displace the wildlife that was already living there. And as land is cleared for those new cities—especially in the dense tropical forests—carbon will be released into the atmosphere as well. It’s true that as people in developing nations move from the countryside to the city, the shift may reduce the pressure on land, which could in turn be good for the environment. This is especially so in desperately poor countries, where residents in the countryside slash and burn forests each growing season to clear space for farming. But the real difference is that in developing nations, the move from rural areas to cities often leads to an accompanying increase in income — and that increase leads to an increase in theconsumption of food and energy, which in turn causes a rise in carbon emissions. Getting enough to eat and enjoying the safety and comfort of living fully on the grid is certainly a good thing — but it does carry an environmental price.The urbanization wave can’t be stopped —and it shouldn’t be. But Seto’s paper does underscore the importance of managing that transition. If we do it the right way, we can reduce urbanization’s impact on the environment. “There’s an enormous opportunity here, and a lot of pressure and responsibility to think about how we urbanize,” says Seto. “One thing that’s clear is that we can’t build cities the way we have over the last couple of hundred years. The scale of this transition won’t allow that.” We’re headed towards an urban planet no matter what, but whether it becomes heaven or hell is up to us.56. What issue does t he author try to draw people’s attention to?A. The shrinking biodiversity worldwide.B. The rapid increase of world population.C. The ongoing global economic recession.D. The impact of accelerating urbanization.57. In what sense are humans the ultimate invasive species?A. They are much greedier than other species.B. They are a unique species born to conquer.C. They force other species out of their territories.D. They have an urge to expand their living space.58. In what way is urbanization in poor countries good for the environment?A. More land will be preserved for wildlife.B. The pressure on farmland will be lessened.C. Carbon emissions will be considerably reduced.D. Natural resources will be used more effectively.59. What does the author say about living comfortably in the city?A. It incurs a high environmental price.B. It brings poverty and insecurity to an end.C. It causes a big change in people’s lifestyle.D. It narrows the gap between city and country.60. What can be done to minimize the negative impact of urbanization according to Seto?A. Slowing down the speed of transition.B. Innovative use of advanced technology.C. Appropriate management of the process.D. Enhancing people’s sense of responsibility.Passage TwoWhen Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg launched in Feb. 2004, even he could not imagine the forces it would let loose. His intent was to connect college students. Facebook, which is what this website rapidly evolved into, ended up connecting the world.To the children of this connected era, the world is one giant social network. They are not bound — as were previous generations of humans — by what they were taught. They are only limited by their curiosity and ambition. During my childhood, all knowledge was local. You learned everything you knew from your parents, teachers, preachers, andfriends.With the high-quality and timely information at their fingertips, today’s children are rising normally tame middle class is speaking up against social ills. Silicon Valley executives are being shamed into adding women to their boards. Political leaders are marshalling the energy of millions for elections and political causes. All of this is being done with social media technologies that Facebook and its competitors set free.As does every advancing technology, social media has created many new problems. It is commonly addictive and creates risks for younger users. Social media is used by extremists in the Middle East and elsewhere to seek and brainwash recruits. And it exposes us and our friends to disagreeable spying. We may leave our lights on in the house when we are on vacation, but through social media we tell criminals exactly where we are, when we plan to return home, and how to blackmail(敲诈)us.Governments don’t need informers any more. Social media allows government agencies to spy on their own citizens. We record our thoughts, emotions, likes and dislikes on Facebook; we share our political views, social preferences, and plans. We post intimate photographs of ourselves. No spy agency or criminal organization could actively gather the type of data that we voluntarily post for them.The marketers are also seeing big opportunities. Amazon is trying to predict what we will order. Google is trying to judge our needs and wants based on our social-media profiles. We need to be aware of the risks and keep working to alleviate the dangers. Regardless of what social media people use, one thing is certain: we are in a period of accelerating change. The next decade will be even more amazing and unpredictable than the last.

2014年12月大学英语6级考试真题及答案(整理总结版)单词填空:If you are attending a local college, especially one without residence halls, you'll probably live at home and commute to classes. This arrangement has a lot of advantages. It's cheaper. It provides a comfortable and familiar setting, and it means you'll get the kind of home cooking you're used to instead of the monotony (单调) that characterizes even the best institutional food.However, commuting students need to go out of their way to bec ome involved in the life of their college and to take special steps to meet their fellow students. Often, this means a certain amount of initiative on your part in seeking out and talking to people in your classes whom you think you might like.One problem that commuting students sometimes face is their parents' unwillingness to recognize that they're adults. The transition from high school to college is a big one, and if you live at home you need to develop the same kind of independence you'd have if you were living away. Home rules that might have been appropriate when you were in high school don't apply. If your parents are reluctant to renegotiate, you can speed the process along by letting your behavior show that you have the responsibility that goes with maturity. Parents are more willing to acknowledge their children as adults when they behave like adults. If, however, there's so much friction at home that it interferes with your academic work, you might want to consider sharing an apartment with one or more friends. Sometimes this is a happy solution when family tensions make everyone miserable.答案:26. advantages27. characterizes28. go out of their way29. seeking out30. transition31. appropriate32. reluctant33. acknowledge34. interferes with35. tensions(二)选词填空部分:36-L-inquiring37-O-unfortunately38-C-assumptions39-M-passion40-B-acquiring41-K-impart42-D-convenience43-F-exclude44-E-eventually45-H-exploration其他版本1:(讲解基因工程的,多利羊)36-M-surrounding37-J-ordinary38-K-overturning39-G-increasingly40-O-tempting41-D-duplication42-I-nothing43-B-completely44-L-separated45-F-identical其他版本2:36 M throne37 C environmentalist38 F notions39 H originally40 N unnaturally41 O urging42 E impact43 I recognition44 B eccentric45 J respond(三)长篇阅读部分:(这个很难记起来)46-D47-N48-H49-F50-J51-C52-E53-R54-L55-B(四)仔细阅读部分:(试卷不是一样的,只要找到你对应的那篇文章即可)这一篇是关于公司和企业使用绿色能源获利的。

On the one hand, many coilege English teachers underestimate the role interest plays in English learning and keep preaching in class. On the other h^nd,under the current system, most Chinese students tend to separate vocabulary memorizing, grammar, Hsteniiig, speaking, reading, and writing ftom each other and therefore their English is also “broken” in this way. This has also greatly contributed to the “dumb English” of many Chinese students.In my view, to reform English education, colleges and universities should encourage students to speak English in class and hold more activities to promote students' oral English. Teachers should focus on attracting students with vivid teaching and arouse students* enthusiasm in learning English. With the collaboration, the reform of college BngHsh education will surely yield pleatifu] fitiits.三Self-help TVaveling1.越来越多大学生选择“自助游”,原因是…2.也会带来一些问题3.你的看法【参考作文】Self-help TravelingMore and more college students choose self-help trayelijig rather than arranged tours when they plan to travel. The reason inay be that by ananging the route, booking cheaper hotels and taking cheaper transportation means 2.W by themselves, they can save a lot of money.Convenient and economical as self-help traveling sounds, it still has some potential problems Perhaps the most important one is the safety hazard. Being alone without a group or a tour guide, a traveler may be helpless in face of danger, i.e. robbery, wild animal attacks, etc. In addition, they are more Eikely to be at risk of getting lost when traveling alone in a strange city or in the remote countryside.In my view, self-help traveling can be exciting and challenging which is worth trying. However, before setting out alone on a tour, travelers should make good preparations. Besides, they should hear security in mind all the time and keep ia touch with their friends or relatives. By doing soa they can enjoy the pleasure of exploring a strange city safe and sound.四Limiting the Buying of Cars or Not?1. 对于北京限制购车,有人赞成2. 也有人表示反对3. 你的看法参考范文:Limiting tbe Buying of Cars or Not?Beijing has placed strict restriction on the number of newly purchased car in the city and the policy bas sparked heated discussion. Some people support the policy, saying it,s a powerful method to cope with the severe traffic congestion in the capital. With cars increasing drastically in the past few years, severe traffic jams occur not only in rush hours but at any time of the day now.Others, however, aie strongly against the limitations. They argue that the great number of official cars,which are frequently used, is a big factor causing traffic congestion. But the policy mainly aims at private cars and has no dear restrictions on the use of official cars. Besides, car purchase limitation would hinder the development of China's automobile industry,and more people would lose their jobs as a result.Personally, I think the restriction of buying and use of cars, official cars incladed, is inevitable and just a matter of time for Beijing. If the number of cars is not limited, there will be a huge disaster for theenvironment, road resources, the travel demands of normal people and the improvement of living standards.五The Definition of Priceprices determine how resources are to be used. they are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. the price system of the united states is a complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. the interrelationships of all these prices make up the "system" of prices. the price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else. if one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words that price is the money values of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. this definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes.for a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and paymentwill be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. in other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors thatcomprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.六Publicizing Lists of Uncivilized Residents1. 目前某市政府在媒体上曝光不文明的市民2. 人们对这种做法反应不一3. 你的看法参考范文:Publicizing Lists of Uncivilized ResidentsTo improve tbe behavior of its citizens, the government of X City has teamed with local media to release lists of uncivilized behavion. The lists have photos and basic information of offenders e. g, drivers brealdng traffic rules have their license-plate nurabers listed along with the time and location of the infraction. This has attracted particular public attention.Some welcome the policy, believing it will deter people ftom poor behavior They say it will force people to behave themscives, or they will risk being named and shamed in the media. However, critics have complained that the initiative is an abuse of administrative power and is irresponsible* Citizens should certainly be held responsible for misconduct, they say, but the government should also create an environment to help people exercise self-discipline.Personatlyt I agree that citizens should be responsible for their improper behavior but governments also do have a responsibility to improve their management. Besides, according to laws, law enforcement departments are entitled to give the proper punishments to violators of public regulations. It is, however, groundless for these governmental organs to publicly disgrace the rule- brcakcis.。

You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss whether technology is indispensable in education. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.范文:From this cartoon, we clearly see that the student is asking his teacher about whether or not he can use some tech support to figure out the problem in his math class. What’s behind the cartoon is the fact that nowadays students become increasingly dependent on technological devices to help them with their school work.In my opinion, with the advances in technology, students can learn more efficiently. First of all, technology provides infinite resources for learning. When our parents were students, they could only learn from their teachers, while nowadays, we can learn much more from the Internet. Second, it’s more convenient to learn with tech support. For example, I got enrolled in a Spanish class in an online school called Hu jiang Online Class. All it requires is a PC or a smart phone, and I can learn the lectures anytime and anywhere. Lastly, it’s more economical to learn online. Besides the courses, free Apps are also easily accessible.As for me, tech support has become an important part in my daily study. I will continue to learn in this way, and I believe that we can learn more efficientlyif we are able to utilize the technologies around us.2014年12月英语六级作文真题二:学无止境题目:Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss whether there is a shortcut to learning. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.范文:The comic is an ironical illustration that it is unadvisable to search for a shortcut to learning. The student tries to find a book about how to do well in school without studying in the library, only to be told that it is unrealistic and impractical.The discussion of whether there is a shortcut to learning is essentially the requesting for a supreme learning method – a panacea every learner wishes for. In my opinion, the shortcut to learning does exist. It is the combination of diligence and intelligence. As Thomas Edison says, “Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.”On one hand, hard work is the premise and prerequisite for achieving academic success. Even the most resourceful ones have to devote their timestudying and reading, because knowledge does not go automatically into the brain. All efforts will be futile if we idle away our time.On the other hand, it is undeniable that there are ways to improve learning efficiency, especially with the support of technology like the Internet. Better learners are always the ones with cleverer learning skills.To sum up, only when we diligently and skillfully can we achieve academic success.2014年12月英语六级作文真题三:学历歧视题目:Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss what qualities an employer should look for in job applicant. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.范文:According to the picture, an employer turns down a job applicant, for his degree is less advanced than the other applicants, even though he has a goodresume. Actually, what’s behind the cartoon is the tendency that employers focus on academic performance when hiring.No one disputes that a college or higher degree opens doors. Despite that, as far as I’m concerned, academic degree should not be the primary criteria in selecting talents. First of all, academic degrees only represent the applicants’ proficiency in their school work, and cannot demonstrate their personality or other abilities. For instance, the responsibility of a human resources manager is to deal with people, and thus it requires advanced people skill which is by no means shown in the diploma. Second, emphasis on degrees may stall the development of the company. They will lose real talents if they judge people only by their educational background, while it is often the case that college drop-outs like Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, etc., run wildly successful enterprises.Therefore, instead of running after applicants with higher degrees, companies should become more concerned about what it takes to do the job and what a college education actually provides.。

2014年12月大学英语六级写作范文精品汇聚1、A Matter Of PrioritiesLetting Go Of The Little StuffWe experience numerous disappointments each and every day. Our expectations go unmet, our plans are blocked by circumstance, our wishes go unfulfilled, and we discover that our lives are subject to a myriad of forces beyond our conscious control. In some cases, our response is powerful because we must invest ourselves and our resources to overcome genuine hardship. In others, our reactions are far more passionate than our circumstances likely warrant. The tension that permeates our bodies and minds when we are late for an event, interrupted at work, or sitting in traffic is not inappropriate, but it can interfere with our well-being in profound ways. When we stop worrying about relatively unimportant matters, we can be at peace and devote so much more of ourselves to what is truly important.The small frustrations and irritations wield such power over us because they rob us of the illusion of control. But every problem is a potential teacher—a confusing situation is an opportunity to practice mindfulness, and difficult people provide us with opportunities to display compassion. There is a natural human tendency to invest copious amounts of emotional energy in minor dilemmas and frustrations in order to avoid confronting those more complex issues that are largely outside the realm of our control. The intensity of our response provides us with a temporary sense of personal power that helps us cope with challenges that might otherwise overwhelm us. But it is only when we let the little stuff go that we discover that the big stuff is not really so devastating after all.In the stress of a singularly tense incident, differentiating between an inconsequential annoyance and a legitimate challenge can seem a monumental task. Ask yourself whether the emotions you are feeling will be as vivid in a year, a day, or even an hour. As focused as you are on this moment in time, your reward for letting go of your emotional investment may be the very happiness and harmony of being whose loss you are lamenting. Needless aggravation is seldom worth the cost it exacts. You cannot distance yourself from life's inconsistencies, irritations, and upheavals, but you can relinquish your desire for perfect order and gain peace of mind in the process2、Releasing and WelcomingEnergetic SweepingIn some of our lives, sweeping has become an activity performed without much thought. In many cases, sweeping is a lost art, replaced by the noisy, efficient vacuum cleaner. But in several cultures and religions, sweeping the front and back porch every morning is regarded as an important cleansing ritual that prepares the ground for new energy on every level—physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. It is often employed to sanctify a space and prepare it for a ceremony. This seemingly simple action has the power to clear away the old and make space for the new. It stirs up the energy in a place, clearing out the astral buildup that is the natural by-product of the presence of humans.This kind of sweeping is not about cleaning the area of dust. In fact, the broom doesn’t have to actually touch the ground to be effective. You might want to consider having two different brooms, one you use for cleaning dust and dirt, and one you use for energy clearing. If you are so inspired, you could decorate your broom by carving its handle, painting it, decorating it with gemstones and ribbons, or any other creative adornment that appeals to you. You can also make your own broom outof tree branches and twigs, or choose a naturally appearing broom from nature, such as a pine bough.Sweeping each morning prepares the ground for the new day at the same time as it deepens our awareness of the importance of letting go of the past to welcome the present. As we clear the energy of our space, we clear our own energy systems. In addition, we create a space that feels clean, clear, and open to all who enter. Be sure to think welcoming thoughts as you sweep, manifesting what you need for the day. Making sweeping part of our daily ritual tunes us into the continuing cycle of releasing the old and welcoming the new that is the hallmark of a healthy energy system.3、The Music Of LanguageWords Are EnergyWhen we speak or write, we use the vehicles of words to carry meaning, as well as energy, from ourselves to another person or group of people. We may be speaking to our baby, our boss, or to an audience of 500 people. We may be writing a love letter, a work-related memo, or an entry in our own diary. Whatever the case, each word we speak or write has a life of its own, a vibratory signature that creates waves in the same way that a note of music creates waves. And like musical notes, our words live in communities of other words and change in relation to the words that surround them. When we are conscious of the energy behind our words, we become capable of making beautiful music in the world. If we are unconscious of the power of words, we run the risk of creating a noisy disturbance.Some of us know this instinctively, while others come to this understanding slowly. Most of us, though, speak without thinking at least some of the time, blurting out our feelings and thoughts without much regard for the words we choose to express them. When we remindourselves that our words have an impact on the world at the level of energy, we may find within ourselves the desire to be more aware of our use of language.A fun way to increase our sensitivity to the power of words is to simply make a list of our favorite words and notice the energy they contain. We can write them down and post them where we can see them, or we can speak them aloud, feeling them reverberate in our bodies and in the air around us. This is like learning to consciously play an instrument that we have been playing unconsciously for most of our lives, and the effect can be startling and delightful. As we grow more comfortable and confident playing the instrument of language, we will begin to compose beautiful messages, creating positive energy every time we write or speak.4、Avoiding Your True PowerAfraid To MeditateThere are times when we feel the pull to meditate but are swayed from it by the excuses that spring to mind. We may think that we are too busy, have no time to ourselves, or that we do not have the right place to meditate. Our minds can think of dozens of reasons to put off meditation. But those are even stronger reasons to look past the illusion of the hustle and bustle of daily life and to connect to the place within that intersects with the timeless power and limitless potential of the universe. From that place we can experience that potent stillness that exists at all times, and it is only as far as away as our breath.It might be useful to ask yourself why you would put off something so beneficial to your peace of mind and general well-being. There may be fear that if you were to stop your frantic pace, your world might fall apart, and then you would have to face the undeniable reality of who you really are and the results of the choices you have made. You might be afraidthat you will be forced to make huge changes in order to align yourself with the universe and harness your true potential. Sometimes the frustrations of the known world seem less scary than the possibilities of the unknown. But the truth is that when we cooperate with the universe by creating our lives from the truth of our being, life becomes less of a struggle and more of a process of living blissfully on purpose.Finding yourself alone for a few moments can give you the opportunity to turn within to infuse a sense of calm wisdom to your work. Whenever you can take the time to recenter and refocus, it will remind you how beneficial it is to connect to your source. Then you will make the time for longer sojourns of spirit, because once you are rejuvenated and enlivened by knowing that you are made of energy and light, you can channel the power to create your life in alignment with the highest potential of your soul.5、Letting Go Of UnderstandingDeeper MeaningsAll of us who seek to be conscious and aware regard our experiences as teachers, and we try to discern what lessons we are learning from the things that happen in our lives. Sometimes the lesson is very clear from the get-go, and other times we have to really search to understand the deeper meaning behind some event. While this search often yields results, there also comes a point in the search where what we really need to do is move forward. It is possible that we are not meant to know the deeper meaning of certain occurrences. Answers may come later in our lives, or they may come as a result of letting go, or they may never come.We are all part of a complex system of being, and things work themselves out in the system as a whole. Sometimes we are just playing a necessary part in that process with a result larger than we can understand. It may have very little to do with us personally, and while that can behard to understand, it can also free us from overthinking the matter. Sometimes it is best to see it in terms of karma, a past debt we have been able to repay in this way, or as the clearing of energy. We can simply thank the event for being part of our experience and let it go. This completes the process that the occurrence has made possible.To make this letting go official, we can perform a ritual, make a final journal entry on the subject, or sit in meditation with the intention of releasing the event from our consciousness. As we do so, we summon it one last time, honoring it with our attention, thanking it, and saying good-bye. We then let it go out the door, out the window, out the top of our heads, or into the earth through the bottoms of our feet, liberating ourselves from any burden we have carried in association with it.6、Softening And ExpandingBeing Receptive To What You WantIn order to get what we want in life, we have to be willing to receive it when it appears, and in order to do that we have to be open. Often we go through life with defenses we developed early on in order to protect ourselves. These defenses act as barriers, walls we needed at one time to feel safe, but that now serve to shut out desired influences, like intimacy or love. So an essential part of being receptive to what we want is to soften these barriers enough to let those things in when they show up. For example, we may spend a lot of time alone as a way to protect ourselves from being hurt by other people, but we can see how this is now preventing us from meeting new friends.Another obstacle to our receptivity can be our tendency to believe that we have to act aggressively in order to achieve our desired goal. This can cause us to become mono-focused and to fail to see, and be open to, opportunities on the periphery of our vision. So becoming receptive involves a softening of our defenses and a willingness to remain open topossibilities outside our immediate realm of vision. If we are looking for love or friendship, it means first looking within ourselves to see where we are shut down, and second, not getting too fixated on where we might find the love we want. In this way, we become more open as individuals and more expansive in terms of what we see as possible.Often, the things and people we want to draw into our lives elude us because we are unconsciously blocking them out, either with our defenses, or with tunnel vision that causes us to not see them when they appear. When this is the case, we can take action by exploring and softening our barriers, and expanding our vision to encompass new possibilities. These actions are the essence of receptivity.7、Simple Gestures Of SolaceOffering ComfortSometimes it is difficult to see someone we love struggling, in pain, or hurting. When this happens, we might feel like we need to be proactive and do something to ease their troubles. While others may want our help, it is important to keep in mind that we need to be sensitive to what they truly want in the moment, since it can be all too easy to get carried away and say or do more than is really needed. Allowing ourselves to let go and simply exist in the present with another person may actually provide a greater amount of comfort and support than we could ever imagine.Perhaps we can think back to a time when we were upset and needed a kind word, hug, or listening ear from someone else. As we remember these times, we might think of the gestures of kindness that were the most healing. It ma y have been gentle words such as “I care about you,” or the soothing presence of someone holding us and not expecting anything that were the most consoling. When we are able to go back to these times it becomes easier for us to keep in mind that giving advice or saying more than is really necessary is not always reassuring. What is truly comfortingfor another is not having someone try to fix them or their problems, but to just be there for them. Should we begin to feel the urge arise to offer advice or repair a situation, we can take a few deep breaths, let the impulse pass, and bring our attention back to the present. Even though we may want to do more, we do not have to do anything other than this to be a good friend.The more we are attuned to what our loved ones are feeling, the more capable we are of truly giving what is best for them in their hour of need. Keeping things simple helps us give the part of ourselves that is capable of the greatest amount of compassion—open ears and an understanding heart.8、Without A NetLiving Life With TrustAs we create the life of our dreams, we often reach a crossroads where the choices seem to involve the risk of facing the unknown versus the safety and comfort of all that we have come to trust. We may feel like a tightrope walker, carefully teetering along the narrow path to our goals, sometimes feeling that we are doing so without a net. Knowing we have some backup may help us work up the courage to take those first steps, until we are secure in knowing that we have the skills to work without one. But when we live our lives from a place of balance and trust in the universe, we may not see our source of support, but we can know that it is there.If we refuse to act only if we can see the safety net, we may be allowing the net to become a trap as it creates a barrier between us and the freedom to pursue our goals. Change is inherent in life, so even what we have learned to trust can surprise us at any moment. Remove fear from the equation and then, without even wondering what is going on below, we can devote our full attention to the dream that awaits us.We attract support into our lives when we are willing to make those first tentative steps, trusting that the universe will provide exactly what we need. In that process we can decide that whatever comes from our actions is only for our highest and best experience of growth. It may come in the form of a soft landing, an unexpected rescue or aneye-opening experience gleaned only from the process of falling. So rather than allowing our lives to be dictated by fear of the unknown, or trying to avoid falling, we can appreciate that sometimes we experience life fully when we are willing to trust and fall. And in doing so, we may just find that we have the wings to fly.When we believe that there is a reason for everything, we are stepping out with the safety net of the universe, and we know we will make the best from whatever comes our way.9、Power, Beauty, And WarmthKeeping The Sun InsideAnyone who has endured a long, dark winter can attest to the power the sun has to both invigorate and relax body, mind, and soul. It can be daunting to begin the months of fall and winter, knowing that we may not see as much of the beautiful sun for quite some time. But it is important to remember that even during the darker days of fall and winter, the sun is still there shining, as beautiful as ever. Just because it is hidden behind clouds or setting early in our part of the world, does not mean that we cannot access its power, beauty, and warmth.One way to do this is to find a warm spot in our house where we can sit or lie down in peace. Closing our eyes, we allow our breath to come and go easily, progressively lengthening each inhale and exhale until we feel very relaxed, peaceful, and warm. We imagine that it is a very warm summer day and that the sun is shining on us, allowing it to warm our body. In particular, we may feel as if a small sun has taken up residencein the area of our solar plexus or our heart. We do not need to think about which one too much and can simply trust our body to let us know where it is. Spend some time just experiencing this sensation, allowing the heat to radiate from inside your body.If you live in a part of the world that loses a lot of light in the winter, you might want to do this exercise each night before retiring. You could also do it at the beginning of each day, giving yourself a chance to plug into that great source of energy. Keeping the sun inside of you when you are missing it on the outside is a way to say hello to the sun and let it warm your soul.10、Empowered ForgivenessApologiesIn life there will always be times when we are affected by the actions of another person. When this happens, we often receive an apology. More often than not we say, “It’s alright,” or “ It’s okay,” and by saying this we are allowing, accepting, and giving permission for the behavior to happen again. When we say “thank you,” or “I accept your apology,” we are forced to sit in our feelings rather than ignore them.There are many of us who feel that it is easier to brush off how we really feel than to express our discomfort with something that has happened to us. While this may initially seem like the best thing to do, what it really does is put us into an unending pattern of behavior; since we are not honest with another person, we continue the cycle of letting them overstep our emotional limits time and time again. By doing this we place ourselves in the position of victim. We can put an end to this karmic chain by first acknowledging to the other person that we accept their request for forgiveness; often a simple “thank you” is enough. To truly create a greater sense of harmony in our relationship, however, we need to gently, and with compassion, express our innermost concernsabout what has transpired. By taking a deep breath and calling upon the deepest parts of our spirit, we can usually find the right words to say and verbalize them in a way that lets the other person recognize ! the consequences of what they have done.If we can remember that our response to others is important, we can begin to realize that trust and forgiveness go hand in hand. And when we react in a way that engenders a greater amount of honesty and candor, we will establish a more positive and empowering way of being and interacting others.。

Firstly, being able to speak another language opens up a world of opportunities.It allows me to communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds, which enhances my understanding and appreciation of diversity.

Studies have shown that bilingual individuals have better problem-solving skills and are more creative.

2014年12月英语六级作文真题范文2014年12月英语六级作文真题一:科技题目:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss whether technology is indispensable in education. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.范文:From this cartoon, we clearly see that the student is asking his teacher about whether or not he can use some tech support to figure out the problem in his math class. What’s behind the cartoon is the fact that nowadays students become increasingly dependent on technological devices to help them with their school work.In my opinion, with the advances in technology, students can learn more efficiently. First of all, technology provides infinite resources for learning. When our parents were students, they could only learn from their teachers, while nowadays, we can learn much more from the Internet. Second, it’s more convenient to learn with tech support. For example, I got enrolled in a Spanish class in an online school called Hu jiang Online Class. All it requires is a PC or a smart phone, and I can learn the lectures anytime and anywhere. Lastly, it’s more economical to learn online. Besides the courses, free Apps are also easily accessible.As for me, tech support has become an important part in my daily study.

You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss whether there is a shortcut to learning. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.范文:The comic is an ironical illustration that it is unadvisable to search for a shortcut to learning. The student tries to find a book about how to do well in school without studying in the library, only to be told that it is unrealistic and impractical.The discussion of whether there is a shortcut to learning is essentially the requesting for a supreme learning method – a panacea every learner wishes for. In my opinion, the shortcut to learning does exist. It is the combination of dil igence and intelligence. As Thomas Edison says, “Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.”On one hand, hard work is the premise and prerequisite for achieving academic success. Even the most resourceful ones have to devote their time studying and reading, because knowledge does not go automatically into the brain. All efforts will be futile if we idle away our time.On the other hand, it is undeniable that there are ways to improve learning efficiency, especially with the support of technology like the Internet. Better learners are always the ones with cleverer learning skills.To sum up, only when we diligently and skillfully can we achieve academic success.2014年12月英语六级作文真题三:学历歧视题目:Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss what qualities an employer should look for in job applicant. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.范文:According to the picture, an employer turns down a job applicant, for his degree is less advanced than the other applicants, even though he has a good resume. Actually, what’s behind the cartoon is the tendency that employers focus on academic performance when hiring.No one disputes that a college or higher degree opens doors. Despite that, as far as I’m concerned, academic degree should not be the primary criteria in selecting talents. First of all, academic degrees only represent the applicants’ proficiency in their school work, and cannot demonstrate their personality or other abilities. For instance, the responsibility of a human resources manager is to deal with people, and thus it requires advanced people skill which is by no means shown in the diploma. Second, emphasis on degrees may stall the development of the company. They will lose real talents if they judge people only by their educational background, while it is often the case that college drop-outs like Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, etc., run wildly successful enterprises.Therefore, instead of running after applicants with higher degrees, companies should become more concerned about what it takes to do the job and what a college education actually provides.。
