1. The band had been having a rest. Now they started again. And what they played was warm, sunny, yet there was just a faint chill-a something, what was it? –not sadness-no, not sadness-a something that made you want to sing. The tune lifted, lifted, the light shone; and it seemed to Miss Brill that in another moment all of them, all the whole company, would begin singing. The young ones, the laughing ones who were moving together, they would begin, and the men‘s voices, very resolute and brave, would join them. And then she too, she too, and the others on the benches-they would come in with a kind of accompaniment -something low, that scarcely rose or fell, something so beautiful-moving… and Miss Brill‘s eyes filled with tears and she looked smiling at all the other members of the company. Y es we understand, we understand, she thought-though what they understood she didn‘t know.
2. The answer is emphatically: No. For real beauty is as much an affair of the inner as of the outer self. The beauty of a porcelain jar is a matter of shape, of color, of surface texture. The jar may be empty or tenanted by spiders, full of honey or stinking slime—it makes on difference to its beauty or ugliness. But a woman is alive, and her beauty is therefore not skin deep. The surface of the human vessel is affected by the nature of its spiritual contents.
I have seen women who, by the standards of a connoisseur of porcelain, were ravishingly lovely. Their shape, their color, their surface texture were perfect. And yet they were not beautiful. For the lovely vase was either empty or filled with some corruption. Spiritual emptiness or ugliness shows through. And conversely, there is an interior light that can transfigure forms that the pure aesthetician would regard as imperfect or downright ugly.
3. Old age is neither inherently miserable not inherently sublime-like every stage of life it has problems, joys, fear and potentials. The process of aging and eventual death must ultimately be accepted as the natural progression of the life cycle, the old completing their prescribed life spans and making way for the young. Much that is unique in old age in fact derives from the reality of aging and the imminence of death. The old must clarify and find use for what they have attained in a lifetime of learning and adapting; they must conserve strength and resources where necessary and adjust creatively to those changes and losses that occur as part of the aging experience. The elderly have the potential for qualities of human reflection and observation which can only come form having lived an entire life span. There is a lifetime accumulation of personality and experience which is available to be used and enjoyed.
4. Americans are at last realizing that the acquisition of goods is not the whole of life. Consumption, on one level, is turning insipid, especially as the quality of the goods seems to be deteriorating. Planned obsolescence is not conducive to pride in workmanship. On another level, consumption is turning sour. There is a growing guilt about the masses of discarded junk-resting automobiles and refrigerators and washing machines and dehumidifiers-that it is uneconomical to recycle. Indestructible plastic hasn‘t even the grace to undergo chemical change. America, the world‘s biggest consumer, is the world‘s biggest polluter. A wareness of this is a kind of redemptive grace, but it has not led to repentance and a revolution in consumer habits. Citizens of Los Angeles are horrified by the daily pall of golden smog, but they don‘t noticeably clamor for a decrease in the number of owner-vehicles. There is no worse neurosis than that which derives from a consciousness of guilt and an inability to reform.

1. My Comment on the Fourth Choice.
My Comment on the Fourth Choice
The fourth comment is to change the world gradually, one clod at a time. Maybe at the first glance it is not inviting. It lacks glamour. It has no quick result. It demands patience. It depends on the exasperating and uncertain instruments of persuasion and democratic decision making.
I think the author is right. Reforming the world is a little like fighting a military campaign in the Apennines, as soon as you capture one mountain range, another one looms just ahead. The problems are the same, too. Once some problems are brought under some kind of rough control, new problems take place. So we can‘t solve all the problems at a time. We have to deal with one problem each time and change the world gradually and steadily. So problems can be handled in the same way that hard problems have been coped with before –piecemeal, pragmatically, by the dogged efforts of many people. So I think in this partic ular time and place the fourth choice offers a better chance for remedying some of the world?s outrages than any other available strategy.
2. Do Y ou Think Television Is Decivilizing or Enlightening?
1. A statement of your points;
2.two arguments;
3.a supporting example for each argument.
Do you Think T elevision Is Decivilizing or Enlightening
Television is very popular in our daily life. An investigation shows that the only things Americans do more than watch TV are work and sleep. So it is very difficult to escape the influence of television.
Just as each coin has two sides, the television has both advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how you use it. If we don‘t use it properly, it will have bad impact on us, such as decivilizing people. Peopl e will have less concentration and just use it for a amusement. People have calculated what can use that time to get a bachelor‘s degree, or learn several languages fluently or walk around the world and write a book about it.
On the other hand, if we make good use of TV, we can benefit a lot of from it. Some programs on TV can broaden our views and give us more knowledge. We can know more things about the world. We are enlightened by the television.
3. Do you like to be a Salesman in Big Company? Why or Why Not?
1. A statement of your position;
2.the first reason why you like or do not like to be a salesman;
3 . The second reason why you like or do not like to be a salesman.
Do you like to be a salesman in a big company?
With the development of economy, more and more salesmen are needed in all kinds of companies, big or small. Meanwhile, more and more people like to be salesmen. As for me, I like to be a salesman in a big company for the following reasons.
Firstly, in terms of income, salesmen in a big company often earn big salaries. It goes without saying that salary is an important consideration when one chooses a job. Generally speaking, a big company offers a better pay to its salesmen that a small company does. As a breadwinner, I certainly prefer to work as a salesman in a big company. Secondly, in terms of self –development, salesmen in a big company often get better chances to further develop themselves, .Nowadays, earning a large sum of money is not the only purpose of salesmen, they also want to improve their abilities and enlarge their knowledge as well. A big company usually provides in –service training to its salesmen which few small companies are able to provide. Thus, I like to be a salesman in a big company for this reason.
In short, for the two reasons I mentioned above, I want to be a salesman in a big company.
4. ―Stanley Sanders ?‖ Attitude towards the Ghetto ―.
1. What you know about Stanley Sanders , the author of the article ;
2. why many black youths left Watts ;
3. why the author decided to return to Watts .
“Stanley Sander’s Attitude towards the Ghetto”
Before the graduation from high school, Stanley Sander, a black, was born and grew up in Watts (the famous ghetto in New Y ork). Then he left for Whittier College where he achieved great academic success. Later, he continued to study in Oxford and Y ale University. He was the example that the ghetto children should follow. As a successful man, his returning to watts shocked all the people there.
At that time, many young blacks left Watts in droves. To them, Watts is a hopeless place and they can make a career only outside the ghetto. Thus the ambitious, talented young people left and never returned.
By contrast, Stanley Sander returned to Watts by choice. He decided to build his career in his home town which was supposed to be impossible. He wanted to demonstrate that it could be done more than anything else. The difference between him and other successful blacks who left Watts and never returned is that he knows that one or two blacks‘ success can‘t be hailed as the success of all Negroes and if there is no future for the black ghetto, the future of all Negroes is diminished.

1、Do you Agree that Rock Is the Music of T eenage Rebellion?
1 A general statement of your position;
2 two or three arguments with a supporting example for each.
Rock music began in America in the late 1950‘s. It was not only a new musical form, but a forum for the American youth to express their ideas of the world and life.
Music expressed its times. Rock music was a sociological expression rather than a musical force. It embodied the frustrated teenage spirit of the 1950s. At that time young people might be dissatisfied with the society or they had some hatred toward the adult world, but they could not protest it openly. So they would use music as an outlet. Then they could get some balance in their minds.
Another aspect is that the young people could make their ideas and beliefs known to the world through music. By music, they could show their felling and dreams. So all in all, young people combined invention and exaggeration, reason and motion, word and sound, music and politics as a whole.
2、Comme nt on the Doctor’s Behavior
1. Why he wanted to examine the girl‘s throat;
2. How he tried to coax her to open her mouth;
3. What made him decide to use force to see her throat?
4. Y our opinion of the doctor‘s behavior.
After the doctor arrived at the gi rl‘s home, he wanted to see her throat. As there had been a number of cases of diphtheria in the school to which the girl went during that month, the doctor also thought that of the girl. So he smiled to the girl and asked her to open her mouth and let him have a look at her throat. No matter how the doctor coaxed, the girl shut her mouth firmly.
Thinking that the girl might have diphtheria and possibly die of it, the doctor decided to use force to open her mouth. He had seen at least two children lying dead in bed of neglect in such cases. He felt that he must get a diagnosis now. So he grasped the girl‘s head with his left hand and tried to get the wooden tongue depressor between her teeth. But when the doctor got the wooden spatula behind her last teeth, she gripped the blade between her molars and reduced it to splinters. In the final unreasoning assault the doctor outer powered the girl. He forced the heavy silver spoon back of her teeth and down her throat till she gagged. Her both tonsils were covered with membrane.
From that the doctor had done, I thought he was a responsible person. In order to save the lives of the patients, especially those children who did not know how to co-operate with the doctor, he had to take some measure. Otherwise a good or suitable time of treatment would be missed.
3、How Is Euthanasia Handled in Different Countries？
1. How euthanasia is practiced in Holland;
2. The situation in America, Britain and many other countries;
3. What the biggest worry is if euthanasia is legalized.
In Holland, mercy-killing is accepted by the medical establishment and openly practiced a few thousand times each year. The government has rules for euthanasia and so doctors can police it effectively.
But in America, Britain and many other countries, euthanasia is condemned by the medical establishment, secretly practiced many times more often, and almost never comes to light. Now it is going over the arguments about euthanasia once again. The doctors in America can rarely discuss euthanasia openly with patients ----even when those patients beg them for it ----doctors tend to kill only when the dying are too far gone to consent . The doctors have to make decision themselves. That is one price of keeping euthanasia secret. Fortunately most Americ an states have ―living-will‖ legislation that protests doctors from prosecution it they do not try to save someone who has said he does not want life prolonged.
Some people suggest legalizing euthanasia. But other people worry that if government permits the doctors to comply with a dying man‘s request in prescribed set of circumstances, it might pose dangers for society by setting a precedent for killing. But if the government set up some rules, there will be no problems. In Holland, the tenacious respect for individual liberty stop them killing healthy people but lets them help dying people.
4、Why Does the Author Say that America Needs More Women in Politics ?
1. Problems that need to be solved in the U.S.;
2. Women‘s special qualities that the country needs.
The author is the first black woman elected to Congress. In her opinion, being blac k is much less of a drawback than being female. V ery Few woman works in political World in American .Most women predominate in the lower ---paying , menial , unrewarding , dead ----end jobs .
The author thinks more women are needed in politics. There are many problems that need women to solve. In this rich nation there are many children going to be hungry .There is not enough good schools for every child. The government spends the wealth on hardware to murder people. The people have prejudice against minorities. And there are unfair housing and unfair employment practices in America. These are the problems that need to be solved in this country.
So the author thinks the American political world needs more women because women can make special contributions. Women can bring empathy, tolerance, insight, patience and persistence to government. The women of a nation mold its morals, its religion, and its politics by the lives they live. So the country needs women‘s idealism and determination.
5、What do the People in the Story Think of Magpie?s Opportunity of Study in the University? Why?
The narrator has got some good news for Magpie. He has his poems and a letter of acceptance from a university in California where they want him to come and participate in the Fine Arts Program they have started for Indians. So first the narrator goes to Magpie‘s wife. She thinks Magpie would not go to California because he is happy now and he is in good spirits, handsome and free and strong. She thinks he no longer needs the things that people like the narrator wants him to need.
Then the narrator goes to Salina. She doesn‘t think he has those worthless, shitty dreams anymore. After the narrator insists Magpie have the right to know, she leads him to see Magpi e‘s best friend Elgie . At first Elgie doesn‘t think Magpie would go. But the narrator insists that it be a chance for him to study, to write and that should be a satisfying isolation. Then Elgie changes his mind. He also thinks it is good for Magpie because he needs some relief from this constant surveillance, constant checking up. So he admits to let the narrator see
Magpie. But before the narrator sees Magpie, he has been shot.
6、A Description of Miss Brill
Miss Brill taught some English pupils an Sunday afternoons. She also read the newspaper for an old man four afternoons a week while he slept in the garden. She also had a habit of going to the park every Sunday afternoon. The band played all the year round on Sundays. She liked sitting on the bench and watching the people around her.
This Sunday only two people shared her ―special ―seat. They did not speak. This was disappointing, for Miss Brill always looked forward to the conversations. Fortunately there was always the crowd to watch. This Sunday she had a special feeling. It was like a play and they were all on the stage. They were not only the audience, but they were acting. She was part of the performance. That was why she started from home at just the same time each week so as not to be late just the same time each week so as not to be late for the performance .
Just at that moment a boy and a girl came and sat down where the old couple had been. They regarded Miss Brill as the stupid old thing. They said not one wanted her silly old mug and her fur was like a fried whiting, although it was carefully chosen for this Sunday. Miss Brill was very unhappy and angry. It was a blow to her. So she returned home. She went into the little dark room and sat down on the red eiderdown for a long time, with tears coming down her face.
7、The Lesson Mrs. Flowers Teaches Marguerite
For nearly a year, Marguerite stopped round the house, the store, the school and the church. But everything changed when she met Bertha Flowers. Mrs. Flowers was the aristocrat of Black Stamps. One summer afternoon, she stopped at the store to by provisions and then invited Marguerite to the home. She prepared cookies and lemonade for her when they had a little chat.
Mrs. Flowers appealed to Marguerite because she was one of the few gentlewomen and remained the measure of what a human being could be. She told Marguerite that language was man‘s way of communicating with his fellow man and language alone separated him from the lower animals. She said words might mean more than what was set down on paper and human voice could infuse them with deeper meaning. Mrs. Flowers also read a book for her. It was like poetry to her. She gave her some books and asked her to read them aloud.
Mrs. Flowers also taught her a lesson in living that day. She told her she should be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. She encouraged Marguerite to listen carefully about what country people called mother wit.
What Mrs. Flowers had done made a big difference. For the first time she realized she was liked and respected. She was happy that she was allowed and invited into the private lives of strangers. When she left Mrs. Flowers‘ home, she ran down th e hill and had the good sense to stop running before she reached the store.
8、The Death Draw
It was three in the afternoon. A German officer came into the cell. He said there had been murders cast might in the town. so three men would be shot in this camp. The funeral rites would begin at seven the next morning.
After the German officer made the order, the people in the camp began to discuss who should go to die. Some suggested volunteers. Some suggested going by ages ----------the oldest first. Some thought the unmarried should go to die. At last they all agreed to draw lots. And everyone must draw lots. So the clerk prepared the draw, using one of his letters from home. Then he tore it into thinly pieces. He made a cross in pencil on three pieces. At last they decided to draw in alphabetical order.
V oisin was the first to draw the death lots. He sat down and felt for a cigarette, but when he got it between his lips he forgot to light it. Then lenotre drew the second slip. He went over to his roll of bedding and drew out a writing pad. Then he sat down next to V oisin and began to write. Chavel was the cast. He implored others to die for him. He would like to give a hundred thousand francs to the person who was willing to die for him.
