Cherish the love from othersAs a college students ,I think ,it is a must and necessary event for our everyone in the world . Because , we live in the world ,we can receive the love and the help from people around us from time to time . Even though , some love can not play important role when we are in difficult . We also should cherish their love for us . It is not only our reward to the people who help us but can see one person quality to others . All in all , I think ,we should cherish the love for others .Be aware of mental healthAbstract with the development and changes of the modern society, the future society put forward higher requirements for the quality of people, requiring every person to have the spirit of facing the reality, not being afraid of difficulties having the pioneering spirit, with the ability to co-operation, communication and the innovative spirit. This means that the cross-century generation not only should have good intelligence quality, but also have a healthy psychology. So we can say, kindergarten education is the foundation of the quality education of our people, it is not only the preparation for the primary stage of learning and living, more importantly, the preparation for their lifelong development and health psychology.Therefore, we should be aware of mental healthyMy success strategiesFirstly, set a goal for myself. Secondly, make up my mind to achieve my goal and spare no effort. Thirdly, seize every chance you meet. At last, keep attitude of continuous study. grasp never say neverWhat I want to do before dieNow, I am a college student ,if I receive the bad news that I will die ,I think ,the first I want to do is to accompany my parents and enjoy the time with my parents to express my love to them . The second is that ,because I am young ,the life for me is too short to do some thing meaningful ,and to do something I haven’t ever do to realize the value of my life .Besides , I want to tell people to be aware that the life is very fragile, and make them think about the value of their lives and encourage them to make full use of each day to pursue their dreams .5. Great acts are made up of small deedsEvery thing, there are so many little composition. Naturally, the big things also cannot leave the small behavior. For example, obeying your parents will startfrom things, housework and beat back, wash clothes, etc. We must keep a healthy will starts from the minor matter, exercise, eat vegetables, drink milk, etc. Begood friends with good study will starts from the minor matter, starts homework or before the preview, during the recitation, etc. Therefore, to do every event, begin some ordinary small start!翻译：每一件事，都有许许多多的小东西组成。

1.Do you have a good memory? Why do you say so?No, I don’t think I have a good memory. Because I think having a good memory means learning everything quickly . People who have a good memory can remember things clearly. When they have had a class , they can remember the important points what teacher have emphasized. What’s more , They are also good at reciting, they can recite books well and easily . So they have good performance in study. At last, people who have good memories means they can arrange everything perfectly, everything in their mind .But I don’t have these talents. I can’t learn things quickly, I can’t remember things clearly , either. When I am in junior middle school , I read my lessons many times until I can recite them completely. I usually forget things in my dormitory. To avoid forgetting important things, I have a note book and write everything on it.. after all ,my bad memory haven’t had any influence on my life. It makes me study hardly and have a colourful life.2.What measures would you like to take to improve your memory?To improve my memory, I will make a detailed plan and obey it.First, I will carry a notebook. I will write down the important things on it and refer to it to see if I have forget something important.Secondly, I will ask favors of my roommates. They will remind me of what I have forget to do.Thirdly, I will take exercise regularly to keep my brain active. What’s more ,taking exercise is also good for our health.Fourthly, when I am sleepy, I will go to the garden and breathe the fresh air, which is really good to relax our mind. As we all know , getting plenty of sleep is the best way to rest our brain.Lastly , Success belongs to the persevering . I will keep working hard to improve my memory.3.What do you think are the qualities of a good teacher and a good student?A good teacher have many fine qualities. First , They respect their student. When the students make mistakes, they will talk to them instead of swear at them. They will tell the students where have they gone wrong and how to make up the mistakes. What’s more, a good teacher will make friends with their students. They can communicate with each other freely. Topics are variedwithout limited.Well as a good student, he or she should work hard on their study. This is the basic standard of a good student. Secondly, they should respect their teachers and classmates. What’s more , they will be enthusiastic to help each other. Last but not the least, a good student should be innovative.4. Have you ever skipped a class? Why?Yes ,I have skipped a class. Because I have to take a driving test.5. What do you think are the important factors to make a successful marriage?A successful marriage is making up of many aspects. First, the couples should respect each other. How to respect each other? Having trust in each other is the most important thing. When the husband return home late some day, the wife shouldn’t have a distrust of the husband without an evidence. Second ,the couples should care for each other. When one of them is tired or ill, the other one should attend the sick one. Third, both of the couples have to learn to look the other’s parents as their own parents. Last but not the least, the couples should always talk to each other. By communicating to each other they can solve the problems at once.As far as I am concerned, if the couples really love each other, there is no difficulty solving any problems.6. What do you think are the reasons for a divorce?There are many couples divorce nowadays. Why do they divorce? I think there are three main reasons. First , the couples have different disposition. Any shortcomings of disposition can be forgiven when they first fall in love with each other. But things get worse when they get married and live together. They can’t put up with each other. Second , different people have different living styles. When two sweethearts become husband and wife, they will live together. That’s the begin of contradiction. The couple most likely go to divorce if one of them can’t bear the other’s living style. Third , some couples divorce because of financial problems. When the family become so poor that the couple can’t live together, they always choose to get divorced. Last but not theleast, I think the most probable reason for a divorce is the couples don’t love each other as deeply as they can solve any problems.7. What do you prefer: a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond in the case of job seeking?As far as I am concerned, I prefer a small fish in a big pound to a big fish in a small pound. A big fish in a small pound can be number.1. and they can do many things easily. But the restrictions will limit its growth. It can only remain the same and can’t become bigger.Well a small fish in a big pound is a different thing. The small fish have to work hard to become stronger to survive in the big pound. In the big pound , there are many great fishes or some other things. The small fish have many teachers to learn from. In this environment, the small fish can develop fast and become a great one. Even it can’t become a great fish, it will become better than the big fish in a small pound.I want to be a small fish in a big pound. Although it is dangerous , I also want to work hard to fight for my own life.8. What courses are useful for one’s job? How do you prepare in college for your future career?We stay in the university and have courses everyday. As we all know ,we study so many years to find a good job when we graduate. But do you know what courses are useful for our job.First, we spend many years on studying English. English is surely important for our jobs in the future. We can’t find a good job without an English certificate. What’s more , your English must be really good if you want to work in a foreign company. Second ,math is used in everywhere ,we should learn math good. Third, we need to learn more practical courses. Because most of the time we stay in the school and have little connect with the society. We should spend more time learning the society.As far as I am concerned, to find a good job in the fture, I have a long wayito go. On one hand ,I should work hard to won a better achievement which is the base to find a good job. On the other hand, I have to learn to innovate. Innovation is a big advantages in job market nowadays. I think I can find a good job in the future.9. If you wanted to start a business, which factors would you consider? Running a business successfully needs lots of preparation. You should consider many factors to solve the problems you likely meet. So what factors would you consider? Listen to me first.First ,you need a lot of bright people. People with special skills is the most important factor to start a business. These people have good ideas and good qualities. They can help you achieve you goals.Second ,you need to cling to your purpose. You can’t give up when you meet a difficulty. If you want to be successful at last . you should hold on till end. You should believe in the words: He who laughs at last laughs best. Third, you should study everyday. Know ledge is the power. Reading books and newspapers everyday. Talking with people of wide information. You can learn a lot from them. Plenty of knowledge may help you a lot in the future. Last but not the least, you should be a kind and stay on the right side of the law.10. Would you like to be a boss or a well-paid employee? Why?Would you like to be a boss or a well-paid employee? Different people have different ideas. The two jobs both have their advantages and disadvantages. However I want two be a boss. These are my reasons.First, as a boss I will work for myself. I can make decisions which is the most important thing. If I work for others. I have to obey the command. I can’t refuse to follow the order even the boss is making wrong decisions. Second, when I work for myself I will always approach things enthusiastically.I will set goals and work hard to reach them.Third, I can learn much more things as a boss. If I am a employee I have towork in the company for the boss. But as a boss I will meet different people and go to kinds of places. I will hold negotiations with many people. I think be skilled in negotiation in the future.Last, I like a challenging life. Apparently be a boss is more challenging thana employee.11. What should be done to help unemployed people?Unemployed people don’t have any income and they can’t provide food and clothes for their family. This situation may lead to divorce. What’s more , people without a permanent job is very likely to do something that is illegal. This phenomenon will have a very bad influence on the public stability. So what should we do to help unemployed people?First, the government should carry out some policies to help the unemployed people find good jobs.Second , the unemployed people should learn new skills to develop themselves. New skills are very useful advantages in job market.Third, the company should provide more jobs for the unemployed people.Last but not the least, we shouldn’t look down upon the unemployed people. Instead of laugh at them we can support them find jobs which are really fit them.12. What are the causes for juvenile delinquency?There are more and more juvenile cases nowadays and juvenile are showing a tendency to increase. Juvenile delinquency is becoming serious social problem in our country. Do you know what are the causes for juvenile delinquency? Here are my opinions.First ,I believe nobody born bad. Everyone is kind and have the possibility becoming great people. I think the living environment is a very important factor for a child. If he live in a poor village and a poor family he is likely have no chance studying in school.Second , parents are children’s first teachers. They teach children talk ,walk ,etc. what’s more, children’s qualities are also come from theirparents. The son is very probably honest if he has a father who never lies. Third, friends have a big influence on children. A boy play with a well-educated friend always grows better than another plays with bad friend. Children always learn from each other.Fourth, teachers play an important role in children’s life. A good teacher pay more attention to student’s growth will help more students success.。

Because,no matter how clever they may become, computers are no more than an extension([ex·ten·sion || ɪk'stenʃn]延伸）for human brain.2.What study habits seem to be common among successful students?A: I'm glad to see you. Recently I met a very difficult problem; perhaps you could solve it.B: really?! W e‘re glad to answer your questions.A:Thank you, my question is‖What study habits seem to be common among successful students?‖B:Oh, I think this question should be answered by C. After all, he‘s suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and he used to be a bottom-of –classstudent just like me.C:Er...Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific magazine that is about how to study more effectively, based on recent research into the brain.D:Oh, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.C:Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talking about principles like ―Put first things first‖,following up on the priorities you have set for yourself, and don't let others, or other interests, distract you from your goals.B:Ok,that sounds different. Is ―Association‖ a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?C:Right on(正确）! ‗Consolidation([con·sol·i·da·tion || kən‚sɒlɪ'deɪʃn巩固）‖is another.I review my notes right after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new material into what I‘ve already learned.A:That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me? I‘ve got a memory like a sieve([sɪv]).C:Y ou‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.3.

Although many employers lay emphasis on candidates' educational background and work experience, some believe that candidates' character is equally important for a successful career.C:I agree with you. In contemporary society, many projects are so large that they require the coordination of a group of people rather than a single person's effort.Therefore, a good team player is often welcomed. Professionally skilled people may not be able to accomplish a large project if they are easily angered and cannot get along with their colleagues.D:Right on.One's character will determine whether you are adequate to the job.In addition,one will maximize his value only when he is the right people for this job.In a word,One's character is playing important role in the course of finding a job.5.What do you think can be done to improve older people’s lives if their children do not live with them?A:Nowadays, the aging phenomenon has been more and more serious.

Although the old man own big house, the days that look ing forward to children's return torture([tor·ture || 'tɔrtʃə(r) /'tɔː-]折磨) them.C:What should we do for that? As an adult, we have been children of our parents and we will become parents of our children.Therefore, it is responsible and obligated to make some suggestions to help elderly people.D:in fact,Great majority of elderly people do not require how rich in the material conditions and what is most essential for them is psychic gratification.A:I can‘t agree more.I think,firstly, children should visit them more often, if they are very busy they should also call their parents to say hello at least. Secondly,government should set up some nursing house for these older people. At last,children also can hire people to take care of their parents if they do not live with them.B:And when one go home, he should have enough patience to talk to your parents and listen to them even though he may be hear what they have said many times,and one could educate his child to look after their grandparents, which is good for children’growing.D: In short, there is no doubt that we also will become elderly people one day.

Let’s TalkStudent: Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I’m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazi ne. Many students have difficultly memorizing things. Since you‘re an outstanding psychologist, could you give us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that’s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I’m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up several items at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you can create a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, a banana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student: Hmmm. I’d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky.Professor: There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there’s another technique that is very useful.Student: What is it?Professor: Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with those keys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student: How will that help?Professor: You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then in a drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them.Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It’s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks, Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.Ways of Improving One’s MemoryExamples: Creating imagesTo remember the items to buy sat the grocery store such as carrots, eggs, bananas, and milk Images that you may help:giant carrot and a banana hanging from it2. a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana3. an egg-shaped UFO flying across the skyEstablishing associationsTo find your lost keysAssociations with sound touch that may help:1. The sound of the keys might remind you of y\having placed then in a drawer.2. The cold touch of the keys might remind you of them in your jacket.SAMPLEA: As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B: And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A: Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A: But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.U2 IV.

I have yet to write a term paper. Can you recommend any articlesand books? You’d better find me the exact pages where I can find what I want.Nora: You could borrow ideas from references, but if you quote without giving the sources, you’re plagiarizing.Chris: The quiz next week will be a headache.

Well, how about PE? What are you doing this semester?Chris: That’s the worst part. In PE, we’re learning t’ai chi. I’m bored to death.Nora: Ha-ha!

She failed me last semester.MODEL3 Publish or perishChris: Tell us, Professor Grant, What are your primary duties as a professor?Professor Grant: Well, I do a lot of research and writing. It’s rough being an associate professor. It’s publish or perish.Chris: So you spent a lot of time in your office?Professor Grant: Yes, but I also have to prepare class motes, give lectures, hold office hours.

But being a professor sounds pretty competitive.B: That’s true. A lot of young teachers want to be promoted to a professorship.A: What you said has given us a fairly clear picture of a western professor’s primary responsibilities. Thank you very much for your time.B: You’re welcomeV. Let’s TalkHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.There are a lot of things in our educational system that I don’t agree with. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could’ve had, had they been educated in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are focused to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students who are believed to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, for example, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called “weak students” are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class id their grades are lower then others. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that th ey are expected to act. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pretty sad to me. I think that many of the kids in those classed are intelligent, but never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated very early on in their education.Problems ResultsEducators just want to give standardized tests. They only focus on academic performance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas.Kids lose interest in learning.Educators often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible.Some intelligent kids can’t enter good colleges.“Weak” students are separated from the rest of the school.Their grades go from bad to worse.Debate SAMPLEA: Many ads about English classes for children say, “Don’t let your kids lose the competition just because they start later.” I quite agree. I hear young children often learn a foreign language faster then adults.B: It’s hard to say. Kids may learn the pronunciation better than adults, but adults usually learn vocabulary and grammar faster.A: You can learn vocabulary and grammar later on; but when you grow up, you can hardly change your pronunciation.B: But if they learn the wrong pronunciation from the beginning? If they don’t learn English when they are young in the right way, it’ll affect their English studiesA: Anyway, some good or “key” schools give English tests to kids before admitting them.B: English is important, bur other subjects like Chinese and math ate equally important. If kids spend too much time on English, they have little time left for other subjects.A: Some people say that learning a foreign language can help develop children’s mental abilities such as memory, attention span and concentration, which will e of help in learning other subjects.B: But too much time for studying and too little left for playing, children’s moral and physical development will be affected.A: Well, it’s difficult for me to convince you, and vice versa. Let’s agree to disagree.U3 IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Is youth wasted on the young?Amy: I’d like to talk to you, so stop what you’re doing for a minute.Bill: What is it, Amy?

Soon we’ll be too old to enjoying having a ba by.Bill: You know, you have a good point. This report can wait. I’ll do it tomorrow morning. Let’s open a bottle of wine and enjoy ourselves.SAMPLE DIALOGA: I’ve got something important to tell you: I’m pregnant.B: What? You’re pregnant?

We’ll be busier in future.A: There is something in what you said. Four years is a long time to wait. But I really like my job. What’s more, I’m very close to getting promotion.B: But a baby borne by a woman in her 30s may be physically and intellectually less healthy. If we wanted to hold onto your job, we would wait forever. Soon we’ll be too old to enjoy a baby.A: You really have a point. I’ll choose the baby over the job.B: Good, I’ll try harder to make both ends meetMODEL2 So many people in the United States get divorced!Kim: Hi Amy.Amy: Hi! Look at this headline, Kim.Kim: Wow!

In my country, some marriages break up, but most couples stay together.Amy: Do people get married young?Kim: Not really. Not many people get married before the age of 20.Amy: Hmm.

Let’s TalkIf you want me to tell you why I remarried, that’s my story.Remarried is the last thing I’d consider for two years after my divorce. I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failure. More importantly, I wondered how remarrying would affect my 10-year-old son. My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wife and me holding hands, with sadness on our faces. Since my parents have married and divorce eight times altogether, I hope my son would not have to go through the same pain I had experienced. As a result, my primary focus after divorce was my relationship with my son John, not finding a wife.As time went by, my son gradually grew up, and he became of my loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating. The first timer he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria. As our relationship developed over the following year, I was concerned about my son would actually respond to her. At first, John’s affection for Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several times, he warmed up to her. Seeing that the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry me. She accepted, so our family of two smoothly became a family of three. Thinking back, I believe my remarrying was the right choice.Some single-parents are still besitant about remarrying. Now that you’ve heard my story, I hope you won’t hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fingers.Changes in the Speaker’s Attitude to RemarriageReasons or Detailed DescriptionFor two years after my divorce, remarriage was the last word I’d consider.1. High rate of remarriage failure.2. Remarriage would affect my son.①He drew a picture of the three of us.②My parents married and divorced eight times and I hope my son would have no such pain.③My primary focus was my son, not a wife.I ignored my son’s suggestion that I consider dating.He grew up and became conscious of my loneliness and anxiety.I reconsidered m reservation about dating and began to date MariaThe second time he brought the issue up.I was concerned about my son’s respond to her.At first his affection for her was lukewarm: his hug was mechanical; but several months later he warmed up to her.I asked Maria to marry me and she accepted.Seeing time was ripe.Our family of two became a family of three.I believe my remarrying was the right choice.Debate SAMPLEA: On the whole I don’t support remarriage. Too many remarriages have turned out to be unsuccessful and end in divorce.B: If you say many remarriages have failed, that means other remarriages have survived, or even bloomed. We should not only look at the dark of the issue.A: But there’re too many factors contribute to the failure of a second marriage. For example, as you become older, you may find it increasingly difficult to adjust to a different pattern of life with a new mate. Once there’s a conflict neither is willing to give in.B: There’re conflicts everywhere, but you should not neglect that an adult has psychological and physical needs. Without a companion, one may feel lonely and anxious.A: In a new family the husband tends to compare his new wife’s weak point with his ex-wife’s strong point. And the wife does the same.B: I wish you’d seen the film The Sound of Music. The governess Maria blended so smoothly into the Captain’s family.A: It is not easy for children to accept the new mother or father. It is simply impossible for them to forget their birth-mother’s loving care and the happy moments in their childhood.B: But how happy are the Captain’s seven children with their adopted mother Maria! If the new mother shows genuine care for the kids, they will gradually warm to her. On the other hand, many children in a single-parent family are under psychological pressure and suffer from anxiety attack. So, the single life is not the right choice.U4 IV.
