Dear Sir or Madam,
As a faithful reader of your newspaper, I would like to express my gratitude for your endeavor to promote the development of our city. And now, I want to discuss the phenomenon about the restriction on the use of plastic bags.
As we all know, the plastic bags cannot be used for free now, but I find that there are still some shops offering free plastic bags to their customers without charging any fees. Seeing that the plastic bag is the main cause of white pollution, it’s imperative to take stricter measures to implement the restriction. First, more severe punishment should be imposed on the shops if they violate the regulation. Secondly, our newspaper’s publicity of the concept of environmental protection will be an effective way to stop the worrying situation.
I would be grateful if you can take my suggestion into consideration, and I hope we will have a clean city in the near future.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
The Significance of the Immaterial Culture Heritage Education in Improving University Students’ National Spirit
Immaterial culture heritage refers to various forms of traditional culture including traditional performance, folk activities, and a lot of national ceremony and celebration, which is close related to the life of common people and passed on from generation to generation. Against the background that China’s traditional culture is facing an unprecedented challenge propelled by and modernization, it’s imperative to educate graduates with China’s immaterial culture heritage to strengthen their national spirit and national identity. Firstly, being a part of the conveyors of immaterial culture heritage, university students will naturally be proud of their nationality. Secondly, such education can motivate them to love their history, culture motherland and compatriots. Finally, university students can bring innovative spirit into the process of learning and strengthen their national spirit in practice.
A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a 100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this 100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “I am going to give this 100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter (无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth l00!”
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.
You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!
As is vividly depicted in the picture, in the first picture there are a lot of books besides a boy, but he doesn’t read any of them. By contrast, the second one portrays that another boy makes a plan of reading: 20 books one year. In fact, the phenomenon in the picture doesn’t surprise us at all. Simple as it is, the intended meaning of the picture is worth our reflecting.
Undoubtedly, the cartoonistaims at reminding us of the significance of readingand knowledge . At the top of the list, we should attach importance to reading mainly due to that it can enable us to ameliorate ourselves so we can bequalified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming ’s more, we ought to place a high value on the role played by knowledge in personal growth. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, knowledge accumulation is to personal growth what water is to fish. To sum up, if reading and knowledge missour attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.
Hence, it is vital for us to derive positive implications from the above picture. For one thing, we should frequently use it to enlighten the young. For another, we should cultivate the awareness of teenagersthat reading isvery vital. Only by doing so,can we become winner in the face of difficulties.
In the pictures above are a father and her beloved son. In the left cartoon, smoking a cigarette and sitting in a sofa comfortably, the father is watching a football match on TV and shouting, “Son, study hard for me!” On the contrary, in the left portrayal, at 9 . , the father is studying together with his son, both totally absorbed in their books. The caption indicates, “Instead of merely making a request, setting an example.”
The purpose of the pictures is to show us that utmost significance should be attached to practicing what you preach. On the one hand, parents teach much more by their actions, than by their words. Some of them may say to their children, “don’t say nasty things about so and so”, and then the children will hear them criticize their friends and neighbors. On the other hand, parenting is such a crucial responsibility, yet there are no required courses to prepare one to undertake this role in life. The only learning is the example from one’s own parents.
To sum up, parents are the best teachers.
Obviously, if parents’ actions don’t conflict their own words, they would have the opportunity to be outstanding examples of their children. Just as an old saying goes, “Action speak louder than words.”
在上面的图片中是一个父亲和她心爱的儿子。在左边的卡通,抽着烟,舒适的坐在沙发上,父亲在电视上看一场足球赛,大喊一声:“儿子,给我努力学习!“相反,在左边的描述,在9点,父亲和他的儿子一起学习,完全沉浸在他们的书。标题所示,”而不是仅仅发出请求,树立榜样。”
图画的目的是告诉我们,最大的'意义应该练习你所说。一方面,父母教更多的行动,而不是他们的话。他们中的一些人可能会对他们的孩子说,“不要说坏话某某”,然后孩子们会听到他们批评他们的朋友和邻居。另一方面,父母是这样一个至关重要的责任,然而没有必修课程准备一个在生活中承担这个角色。唯一的学习例子从自己的父母。
总之,父母是最好的老师。
显然,如果父母自己行动不冲突的话,他们将有机会成为优秀孩子的例子。正如那句老话,“行动胜于言语”。
As is vividly depicted in the picture, many young people are standing together when they find that there are so many ways to of them are stopping there and waiting for help. Obviously, it is the shortage of confidence for their future that makes it impossible for them to get the attainment they want to.
Simple as it is, what the picture conveys to us is thought-provoking. With the development of economy and society, competition is increasingly fierce and there are more and more chance for us to get. But it is impossible for the ones to achieve attainments if the ones have no striving spirit to surmount the difficulties. Hence, people in mounting numbers put great emphasis on the striving spirit. In fact, it has been universally acknowledged that the ability of fighting is the most essential qualification that anyone who wants to achieve success should possess.
To my way of thinking,the problem that all of the college are just stopping and waiting but no fighting and thinking will generate severe consequences .Measures should be adopted before things get worse. It is high time that all of us ,parents, educators,and the authorities, make combined efforts to make young people change their outlook of life and acquire determined spirit. Only by this way is it reasonable for us to believe that this problem can be perfectly solved in the near future.
Dear editor:
I am writing the letter in purpose of drawing your attention to the fact that some people still use plastic bags in spite of restrictions on the use of them. and I will try to make some conducive recommendations concerning the write pollution.
In my humble opinion, to eradicate the phenomenon of widespread write pollution, it would be wise to take the following actions. Above all, the public should keep in mind to foster consciousness of the negative influence of frequent use plastic bags. Besides, there is no doubt that the authorities should strengthen the enforcement of the laws to completely ban the improper use of plastic bags.
I hope you will find these proposals useful, and I would be ready to discuss this matter with you to further details. Your prompt attention to my recommendations will be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely
Li Ming
the first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
then it gradually dwindled down. he discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the the day came when the boy didnt lose his temper at all. he told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
the days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. he said, _you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. the fence will never be the same. when you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. you can put a knife in a man and draw it out. it wont matter how many times you say im sorry, the wound is still there. a verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. they make you smile and encourage you to succeed. they lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. show your friends how much you care.
Hi David,
嗨，大卫，
I hope this email finds you well!
我希望这封邮件能让你一切顺利！
This Sunday, you have two exciting options: an art exhibition and a robot show. While both events promise a unique experience, I recommend attending the robot show.
这个星期天，你有两个激动人心的选择：一个是艺术展，另一个是机器人展。虽然这两项活动都有望带来独特的体验，但我建议参加机器人展。
Here’s why:
原因如下：
Cutting-Edge Technology: The robot show will showcase the latest advancements in robotics. From humanoid companions to AI-driven creations, you’ll witness the future in action.
尖端技术：机器人展将展示机器人技术的最新进展。从人形同伴到人工智能驱动的创造，你将见证未来的行动。
Interactive Fun: Unlike static art, robots engage with the audience. You can interact, ask questions, and even see them perform tasks. It’s an immersive experience!
互动乐趣：与静态艺术不同，机器人与观众互动。你可以互动，提出问题，甚至看到他们执行任务。这是一种身临其境的'体验！
Inspiration: Robots inspire innovation. Who knows, you might leave with fresh ideas or a newfound interest in robotics.
灵感：机器人激发创新。谁知道呢，你可能会带着新的想法或对机器人的新兴趣离开。
So, grab your curiosity and head to the robot show—it’s where science fiction becomes reality!
所以，抓住你的好奇心，去看机器人秀吧——在这里，科幻小说变成了现实！
Yours sincerely,
谨上，
Li Ming
As is portrayed in the picture, a boiling hotpot contains various forms of both domestic and alien cultures. The hodgepodge could be categorized as a mixture of literature, moral values and performing arts. It reveals to us that our modern culture is netplicated and diverse.
I cannot help relating this picture to reality and wondering why this happened in reality. For one thing, the globalization has made it possible that the cultures from all over the world can meet and mix together and we can enjoy the benefits of alien cultures without going abroad. For another, the harmonious coexistence between the traditions and modern cultures gives us a rich identity and spiritual wealth.
What is right attitude we should take toward the phenomenon? First of all, we should get lost in face of the diverse cultures and values. We must remember we must preserve our own national and local cultures in which we take root. Secondly, in the mixture of cultures and values we must learn to distinguish the good from the harmful. We should absorb the nutritious good cultures and values but at the same time we must defend ourselves against the danger of being polluted by the bad cultures and values.
如图所示，一个沸腾的火锅包含了各种形式的国内和国外文化。大杂烩可以被归类为文学、道德价值观和表演艺术的混合体。它向我们揭示了我们的现代文化是复杂多样的。
我忍不住将这张照片与现实联系起来，想知道为什么会在现实中发生这种事。首先，全球化使来自世界各地的文化能够相遇并融合在一起，我们可以在不出国的情况下享受外来文化的好处。另一方面，传统文化与现代文化的和谐共生给了我们丰富的.身份认同和精神财富。我们应该对这种现象采取什么样的正确态度？首先，我们应该迷失在多元文化和价值观面前。我们必须记住，我们必须保护我们扎根的民族和地方文化。第二，在文化和价值观的混合中，我们必须学会区分好坏。我们应该吸收营养丰富的良好文化和价值观，但同时我们必须保护自己免受不良文化和价值观念污染的危险。
The picture presents a touching sight to us. Two handicapped men are walking quite quickly by binding their disabled legs together and holding fast to each other’s shoulders, with their crutches left behind. What respectable persons they are! They have surpassed their own physical deficiency and explored a smoother and easier way of advancing by drawing strength and support from each other. Obviously, what is highlighted in the picture is cooperation.
这张照片给我们带来了一个感人的画面。两个残疾人把他们残疾的腿绑在一起，紧紧抓住彼此的肩膀，留下拐杖，走得很快。他们是多么受人尊敬的人啊！他们已经超越了自己的身体缺陷，通过相互汲取力量和支持，探索了一条更顺畅、更容易的前进之路。显然，画面中突出的是合作。
In modern times, cooperation has become an efficient and effective way to solve many problems. To begin with, through cooperation, we can heighten our strength so as to accomplish the things that are impossible to be done only by one person. We all have our own limitations and with the fast development of science and technology, we are facing a world that is more and more sophisticated.
在现代，合作已成为解决许多问题的.有效途径。首先，通过合作，我们可以增强我们的力量，以完成仅靠一个人不可能完成的事情。我们都有自己的局限性，随着科学技术的快速发展，我们面临着一个越来越复杂的世界。
Therefore, we often need to combine others’ abilities and resources to gain success. What’s more, cooperation is not the simple addition but fusion of all partners’ strength. Making use of different members’ strong points, offsetting the weaknesses, supporting mutually and sharing resources with each other, we can then attain to a capacity that is much stronger than the sum of all partners.
因此，我们往往需要结合他人的能力和资源来获得成功。更重要的是，合作不是简单的补充，而是所有合作伙伴力量的融合。我们可以利用不同成员的长处，弥补弱点，相互支持，共享资源，从而达到比所有伙伴的总和强大得多的能力。
Given is a pie chart, clearly illustrating the striking contrasts in college students’ reading purposes on mobile phones in a certain university. Overall, the aim of learning ranks the first, accounting for 58%. Then, the next is searching for information, with 28%, followed by entertainment, at 12%.
These statistics above can be associated with the importance of mobile phones in students’ learning and daily life, but what result in the differences? On the one hand, smart phones are characterized by the diverse and powerful functions, which brings them great convenience and enhance their learning efficiency. A typical example is that they, with cell phones, can take online courses and look for useful information anywhere. On the other hand, compared with others, university students suffer greater mental stress, so they relax by listening to music or watching videos on phones.
As a youngster, I believe that we should use mobile phones in a rational way. Meanwhile, it is not advisable for anyone to be addicted to online games or social networks.
所给是一幅饼图，清晰地展示了某高校学生手机阅读使用目的对比。总的来看，学习的目的占最大比例，达到了58%。其次是查资料，占28%，紧随其后是娱乐，占比12%。
以上数据使人想到手机在学生的学习和日常生活中的重要性，但是，是什么导致了这些差异？一方面，智能手机有多样和强大的.功能，给他们带来了极大的方便并提高了他们的学习效率。一个典型的例子是，他们可以使用手机在任何地方上在线课程、查询有用的信息。另一方面，与其他人相比，大学生承受着更大的精神压力，所以他们通过用手机听音乐或看视频来放松。
作为一个年轻人，我认为我们应该合理使用手机。同时，任何人都不应该沉迷于在线游戏或社交网络。

For over a decade, the craze of Chinese college graduates taking qualifying examinations to become civil servants has remained unabated. An important proportion of graduates view civil service as their top priority in job selection and they spare no efforts in preparing for those examinations, sometimes years before their graduation.
十多年来，中国大学毕业生参加公务员资格考试的热潮有增无减。很大一部分毕业生认为公务员制度是他们选择工作的首要任务，他们不遗余力地为这些考试做准备，有时甚至在毕业前几年。
To some extent, this craze is a modern revival of the ancient notion that “those who excel in academics end up in officialdom.” In the present-day China, however, there are complicated reasons underlying this phenomenon. The jobs in sectors other than civil service are insecure and unstable, and employees have to work under greater stress faced with growing competitions in the workplace and the industry.
从某种程度上说，这股热潮是对古代“学而优则仕”观念的现代复兴。然而，在当今中国，这一现象背后有着复杂的原因。公务员以外部门的工作不安全、不稳定，面对工作场所和行业日益激烈的竞争，员工不得不在更大的压力下工作。
Some government departments are related to monopolized industries and civil servants can enjoy unusually high salaries and welfare benefits. Finally, government officials are usually regarded as occupying the highest rung of the social hierarchy and a student who succeeds in becoming government official is considered the pride of the family, adding prestige and glory to the entire clan.
一些政府部门与垄断行业有关，公务员可以享受异常高的工资和福利。最后，政府官员通常被视为社会等级的最高阶层，成功成为政府官员的学生被视为家族的骄傲，为整个家族增添了威望和荣耀。
For all the apparent attractions of the officialdom, the craze of entering the civil service is a distorted one. In the United States, truly ambitious students enter the industry instead of civil departments, where they apply their individual initiative to achieve personal success. It has already been pointed out that, with so many best minds of the nation fighting their way into the civil sectors, the consequences are catastrophic.
尽管官场表面上很吸引人，但进入公务员队伍的.热潮是扭曲的。在美国，真正有抱负的学生进入行业，而不是进入民事部门，在那里他们运用个人主动权来取得个人成功。已经有人指出，由于国家有这么多最优秀的人才在为进入民用部门而奋斗，其后果是灾难性的。
The civil servants system, with its inherent bureaucracy and rigid rules, would inevitably turn the otherwise energetic and aggressive young people into docile followers of their superiors’ instructions and dutiful but mediocre implementers of executive orders. This will considerably undermine the vitality of a whole generation and the competitiveness of the entire country in the international arena. All forms of craze are accompanied by elements of irrationality and abnormality and, the sooner this craze vanishes, the better.
公务员制度固有的官僚主义和僵化的规则，不可避免地会把原本精力充沛、好斗的年轻人变成服从上级指示的顺从者和尽职尽责但平庸的行政命令执行者。这将大大削弱整整一代人的活力和整个国家在国际舞台上的竞争力。所有形式的狂热都伴随着不合理和反常的因素，这种狂热越早消失越好。
Shown in the picture is an eye-catching scene ofdrag-boat race in a Chinese traditional festival. Obviously, the two group members are rowing with all their efforts, in the meantime, a lot of young people on shore are cheering onthe race. And there is not be ignored, a comment from elderly couples who are appreciating the more and more wonderful activities in recent years.
图为中国传统节日龙舟赛的精彩场面。很明显，两名队员正在全力划桨，与此同时，岸上的许多年轻人正在为比赛加油。这也是不容忽视的，这是老年夫妇的评论，他们正在欣赏近年来越来越多的精彩活动。
What behind the picture is clear: the increasing number of younger is participating in and paying more attention to traditional culture and can find that the considerableways of celebrating traditional culture has gone viral on Chinese social media platform, such as Sina Weibo, Xiaohongshu, with millions of users. Also, the education of cultural heritage is welcomed by students from primary level to college students. Our treasure, such as moon cake festival, spring festival, will be explored further if Chinese young generation are active in joining rather than just sending a message or red envelope.
背后的情况很清楚：越来越多的年轻人参与并更加关注传统文化和节日。人们可以发现，庆祝传统文化的各种方式已经在新浪微博、小红书等中国社交媒体平台上疯传，拥有数百万用户。此外，文化遗产教育受到从小学到大学生的欢迎。如果中国年轻一代积极加入，而不仅仅是发信息或红包，我们的宝藏，如月饼节、春节，将得到进一步探索。
Of course, our accepted belief--- cherished traditional culture,is the essential cornerstone of revitalizing our nation. For the most of the elderly, they would be glad to witness our growth on awareness of our own traditional days, and wait for the coming future, with great confidence. For the most of young generation, we will be willing to receive more traditional cultural education and be a part of these activities.
当然，我们公认的信仰——珍视的.传统文化，是振兴我们国家的重要基石。对于大多数老年人来说，他们很高兴看到我们在意识到自己传统日子的基础上成长，并满怀信心地等待即将到来的未来。对于大多数年轻一代来说，我们将愿意接受更多的传统文化教育，并成为这些活动的一部分。
Nowadays, _environmental protection_ seems to have become a very popular topic. Whether in cities or rural areas, we can see various warning signs calling for people to protect the environment; There are countless columns, reports, and advertisements on this topic on television and newspapers; With just a click on this topic on the internet, there is a lot of response... People seem to be in favor of protecting the environment and giving the earth a fresh face, but environmental protection cannot be achieved with just a word or action.
_Protecting the environment, starting from me_ is a well-known classic environmental term, but how to _start from me_? Perhaps at the beginning, we may adhere to ourselves for the sake of a better home, but when people around us do not do so and instead mock our own _immaturity_, and it seems difficult for us to immediately see that because of our good behavior, the surrounding environment becomes beautiful and moving, a persons _persevering_ heart begins to be confused, and there is a voice questioning in their heart: is it useful? As this idea grows, how many people still dont go back to their old _habits_? Yes, its _habit_.
People have become accustomed to using fast cars instead of walking, using lightweight and convenient plastic shopping bags instead of cloth bags, and using clean and inexpensive disposable tableware to eliminate the hassle of washing after meals... We have become accustomed to the various conveniences and benefits that modern life brings us, and we are no longer willing to return to the life of _working at sunrise and resting at sunset_; We are accustomed to the flickering neon lights at night, forgetting the peaceful moonlight in the lotus pond under the moon... These complex and intertwined modern _convenient_ lifestyles have also brought great troubles to the environment.
Of course, there are also many people who are willing to devote themselves to the cause of environmental protection, such as Zhang Zhengxiang, who is chilling, lonely, and stubborn, and known as the _madman_ in peoples eyes. Faced with the greedy, ignorant, and brutal environmental disruptors of Dianchi Lake, he bravely tied his life and the fate of Dianchi Lake tightly together, and with his indomitable persistence, he closed down 33 large and medium-sized mining, quarrying, and soil collection points in the Dianchi Nature Reserve.
And Wang Chengji, a farmer with only elementary school education, has transformed 3700 acres of barren mountains into a famous willow ditch with trees and water, thanks to his perseverance, indestructible courage, and perseverance. In our lives, there are still many people who want to do so, but environmental protection is definitely not a matter of two people, it is the responsibility of all of us humans. Perhaps we may not achieve the results of Zhang Zhengxiang and Wang Chengji, but as long as each of us takes good care of the environment, I believe that the earth will become increasingly pure and beautiful.
“保护环境，从我做起”是一句人尽皆知的经典环保用语，但是，该怎样“从我做起”呢？也许，一开始我们会为了美好的家园而恪守自己，可是，当身边的人都不这样去做，反而嘲笑自己的“迂腐”，而且我们似乎也难以一下就看到因为自己的良好行为周围环境就变得美丽动人时，一个人“死撑”的心便开始迷茫，开始在心底有一个声音质疑：有用吗？当这个想法越来越大，试问还有几个人不去重拾旧日那些“习惯”来？对，就是“习惯”。
人们已经习惯了用快速拉风的汽车代替了走路，用轻巧便捷的塑料购物袋代替了布袋，用光洁便宜的一次性餐具消除了餐后洗涤的烦恼……我们已然习惯了现代生活为我们带来的种种便捷与好处，我们已不甘回到“日出而作，日落而息”的生活；我们习惯了夜晚霓虹灯的闪烁，忘记了月下静谧的荷塘月色……这些繁杂交织的现代“便捷”生活也给环境带来了极大的困扰。
当然也有很多人不顾一切投身到环保事业之中，比如那个让人胆寒、孤独执拗的、人们眼中的“疯子”——张正祥，面对贪婪、愚昧、凶残的滇池环境破坏者，他勇敢地把自己的生命和滇池的命运紧紧地绑在一起，以他不屈不挠的执着封停了滇池保护区内33个大、中型采矿、采石、取土点。
而只有小学文化的农民王成吉，凭借坚忍不拔的毅力，坚不可摧的勇气和吃苦耐劳的精神将3700亩寸草不生的`荒山治理成了有树有水、远近闻名的柳沟……在我们的生活中，想这样的人还有很多，但是环保绝对不是一个两个人的事情，这是我们全人类的事。也许我们得不到张正祥、王成吉那样的成绩，但是，只要我们每个人都去用心呵护环境，我相信，地球会越来越纯净，越来越美好的。

The Media and Famous People
媒体与名人
In almost every form of media, including television, newspapers and magazines, a great deal of attention is paid to the personal lives of celebrities. It seems that the public cannot get enough of this kind of news. However, I believe that the media have a responsibility to present a balanced view of the world, as well as respect the lives of public figures. Therefore, I believe that the media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people.
在几乎所有形式的媒体中，包括电视、报纸和杂志，都非常关注名人的个人生活。公众似乎对这类新闻看得不够。然而，我认为媒体有责任呈现一种平衡的世界观，并尊重公众人物的生命。因此，我认为媒体过于关注名人的个人生活。
For people who are fascinated with the lives of public figures there are some forms of media devoted exclusively to this topic. They can satisfy their curiosity by buying fan magazines and watching TV shows devoted to entertainment news. The general media should present all types of information because people have different interests.
对于那些对公众人物的生活着迷的`人来说，有一些形式的媒体专门报道这个话题。他们可以通过购买粉丝杂志和观看娱乐新闻电视节目来满足自己的好奇心。一般媒体应该呈现所有类型的信息，因为人们有不同的兴趣。
Furthermore, the practice of dwelling on the private lives of celebrities can lead people to pay more attention to these matters than they otherwise would. Perhaps most importantly, the media should respect the privacy of every individual, including public figures. They may have chosen to be in the public eye, but that does not give the public the right to know everything about them.
此外，关注名人私生活的做法会导致人们比其他情况下更关注这些问题。也许最重要的是，媒体应该尊重包括公众人物在内的每一个人的隐私。他们可能选择了出现在公众视线中，但这并不能让公众了解他们的一切。
Moreover, many stories about celebrities are untrue; they are only gossip reported to increase sales of magazines and other media. They are unfair to the famous and mislead the public.
此外，许多关于名人的故事都是不真实的；它们只是为了增加杂志和其他媒体的销量而被报道的流言蜚语。他们对名人不公平，误导公众。
For all of these reasons, I believe that the media should pay more attention to matters other than the private lives of public figures. In this way, they can appeal to a wider audience and encourage people to develop other interests. In my opinion, the media currently pay too much attention to the private lives of public figures.
基于这些原因，我认为媒体应该更多地关注公众人物私生活以外的事情。通过这种方式，他们可以吸引更多的观众，并鼓励人们发展其他兴趣。在我看来，目前媒体过于关注公众人物的私生活。
This is a tremendously interesting and thought－provoking picture. From the left picture, it describes a young mother holding a little girl’s hand. However, when you look at the right part of the drawing, you will see another picture which stands in marked contrast to the right part: an adult female supporting an old mother’s with her hand. As is vividly shown by the picture, the issue of the aging population in China has become a major concern around our society, which is increasingly serious.
The picture is attempting to convey a thought-provoking message.
Filial piety has been advocated as a traditional Chinese virtue throughout history. In the first place, every step of a child’s growth, from birth to death, bears so much time and energy of the parents and above all, their unselfish love. So our parents rightly deserve our reward—love, respect, care and support. Whatis more, family relationship is very much like a mirror. If you smile upon it, it will smile back upon you. By treating our parents kindly, we will set an example for our sons and daughters and gain their respect and love in return.
In a word, it is our innate obligation to be filial to our parents.
这是一幅非常有趣和发人深省的图画。从左图中，描述了一位年轻的母亲牵着一个小女孩的手。然而，当你看这幅画的右边时，你会看到另一张与右边形成鲜明对比的照片：一位成年女性用手支撑着一位老母亲的手。如图所示，中国的人口老龄化问题已经成为我们社会关注的.一个主要问题，并且日益严重。
这张照片试图传达一个发人深省的信息。
孝道历来被视为中国的传统美德。首先，孩子成长的每一步，从出生到死亡，都承载着父母如此多的时间和精力，尤其是他们无私的爱。因此，我们的父母理应得到我们的回报——爱、尊重、关心和支持。更重要的是，家庭关系就像一面镜子。如果你对它微笑，它也会对你微笑。通过善待父母，我们将为我们的儿女树立榜样，并获得他们的尊重和爱。
总之，孝顺父母是我们与生俱来的义务。
Bacteria are extremely small living things. while we measure our own sizes in inches or centimeters, bacterial size is measured in microns. one micron is a thousandth of a millimeter: a pinhead is about a millimeter across.
Rod-shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns long, while rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter. thus if you enlarged a rounded bacterium a thousand times, it would be just about the size of a pinhead. an adult human magnified by the same amount would be over a mile( kilometer) tall.
even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. using a magnification of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots. one cannot make out anything of their structure.
using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have attached to them wavy-looking _hairs_ called flagella. others have only one flagellum. the flagella rotate, pushing the bacteria through the water. many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power, while others can glide along over surfaces by some little-understood mechanism.
From the bacteria point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans. to a bacterium water is as thick as molasses is to us. bacteria are so small that they are influenced by the movements of the chemical molecules around them. bacteria under the microscope, even those with no flagella, often bounce about in the water.
This is because they collide with the watery molecules and are pushed this way and that. molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a second the molecules around a bacteria have all been replaced by new ones; even bacteria without flagella are thus constantly exposed to a changing environment.

This pie chart clearly illustrates the purposes of students’ touring in a certain university. As is reflected by the diagram, 37 percent of college students travel in a bid to appreciating the scenery, next comes the aim of relieving pressure, accounting for 33% percent. By contrast, the percentage of students travelling aiming at others, making friends and cultivating independence account for 15%, 9% and 6% respectively.
Several primary factors could contribute to this phenomenon. In the first place, travel can offer us a wide range of experiences. In travelling, we may join tourists marveling at the incredible power of Niagara Falls, mingle with the happy throngs strolling in the Paris boulevards and experience the bitterness and joy of people on different lands and in different times. In the second place, college students, who have to juggle academic work, romantic relationships and a busy social calendar, are particularly susceptible to pressure. By touring, they can successfully manage and reduce stress.
Taking all these factors into consideration, we may predict that with the quickening pace of campus life and ever-increasing pressure, the number of university students touring will keep growing in the forthcoming decade.
For over a decade, the craze of Chinese college graduates taking qualifying examinations to become civil servants has remained unabated. An important proportion of graduates view civil service as their top priority in job selection and they spare no efforts in preparing for those examinations, sometimes years before their graduation.
To some extent, this craze is a modern revival of the ancient notion that “those who excel in academics end up in officialdom.” In the present-day China, however, there are complicated reasons underlying this phenomenon. The jobs in sectors other than civil service are insecure and unstable, and employees have to work under greater stress faced with growing competitions in the workplace and the industry. Some government departments are related to monopolized industries and civil servants can enjoy unusually high salaries and welfare benefits. Finally, government officials are usually regarded as occupying the highest rung of the social hierarchy and a student who succeeds in becoming government official is considered the pride of the family, adding prestige and glory to the entire clan.
For all the apparent attractions of the officialdom, the craze of entering the civil service is a distorted one. In the United States, truly ambitious students enter the industry instead of civil departments, where they apply their individual initiative to achieve personal success. It has already been pointed out that, with so many best minds of the nation fighting their way into the civil sectors, the consequences are catastrophic.
The civil servants system, with its inherent bureaucracy and rigid rules, would inevitably turn the otherwise energetic and aggressive young people into docile followers of their superiors’ instructions and dutiful but mediocre implementers of executive orders. This will considerably undermine the vitality of a whole generation and the competitiveness of the entire country in the international arena. All forms of craze are accompanied by elements of irrationality and abnormality and, the sooner this craze vanishes, the better.
十多年来，中国大学毕业生参加公务员资格考试的热潮有增无减。很大一部分毕业生认为公务员制度是他们选择工作的首要任务，他们不遗余力地为这些考试做准备，有时甚至在毕业前几年。
从某种程度上说，这股热潮是对古代“学而优则仕”观念的现代复兴。然而，在当今中国，这一现象背后有着复杂的原因。公务员以外部门的工作不安全、不稳定，面对工作场所和行业日益激烈的竞争，员工不得不在更大的压力下工作。一些政府部门与垄断行业有关，公务员可以享受异常高的工资和福利。最后，政府官员通常被视为社会等级的`最高阶层，成功成为政府官员的学生被视为家族的骄傲，为整个家族增添了威望和荣耀。
尽管官场表面上很吸引人，但进入公务员队伍的热潮是扭曲的。在美国，真正有抱负的学生进入行业，而不是进入民事部门，在那里他们运用个人主动权来取得个人成功。已经有人指出，由于国家有这么多最优秀的人才在为进入民用部门而奋斗，其后果是灾难性的。
公务员制度固有的官僚主义和僵化的规则，不可避免地会把原本精力充沛、好斗的年轻人变成服从上级指示的顺从者和尽职尽责但平庸的行政命令执行者。这将大大削弱整整一代人的活力和整个国家在国际舞台上的竞争力。所有形式的狂热都伴随着不合理和反常的因素，这种狂热越早消失越好。
To Whom It May Concern,
As a student of our university living in the dormitory, I am very grateful for the accommodation provided by our university. Generally speaking, the living environment is good, but now I have to express my dissatisfaction.
Now I share a room with another student, but it’s for this reason I feel rather inconvenient, because my roommate constantly invite his friends to visit our dorm, making great noise. The situation is so disturbing that I cannot concentrate on my study and work. I wonder if you could arrange a single room for me next semester, as I prefer to live alone to get a favorable living condition to study.
I would appreciate it if you could take my request into consideration, and I am looking forward to you reply.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
This cartoon depicts an ironic scene: a man is walking dangerously on a wire with a pole in his hand. On one end of the pole hangs a box which is named _the convenience of jobs_ while on the other end hangs a box which is labelled_illegal profits_. The man is trying hard to reach the end of the wire, where a piece of papar is attached which says _you should be responsible for what you have done. _ However, the man believes that he will not be blamed since he has taken just a little. The sobering aspect of this cartoon is corruption always happens on those who think they are the lucky ones.
Human nature being what it is, most people have a kind of fluke mind that they may not be punished since the amount they take illegally is small. However, this idea could not be more wrong in our contemporary society. Let's assume that all the government officials in China hold this idea. If this assumption comes true, it will definitely exert a butterfly effect: the appetite of these officials will become even bigger. The amount of money they take may end up as astronomical figures. One day their behavior will be revealed as severe crime and they will spend the rest of their lives in jail.
So it can be justified without any exaggeration that when we look at the consequences of curruption, we may find it very difficult to assess the costs. But these costs can be very considerable and may even hurl the whole society system into a occurs to many that the most effective solution is to appeal to the authorities, or to take legal means. But that is just a passive wayand only works on extreme cases. Therefore, I recommend that massive media, school education and family cultivation should be activated to call for self-discipline on this matter.
这幅漫画描述了一个具有讽刺意味的场景:一个人走路危险与钢管线在手里。在杆的一端挂一盒被命名为“工作”的便利而在另一端挂一盒贴上“非法利润”。男人努力达到线的结束,在一片分析附加说“你应该为你的所作所为负责。“然而,男人认为他不会指责,因为他一点点。这幅漫画是腐败的发人深省的方面总是发生在那些认为他们是幸运的。
人性就是这样,大多数人有一种侥幸心理,他们可能不会受到惩罚,因为他们非法量小。然而,这一想法不能更多的错误在我们的现代社会。假设所有的政府官员在中国持有这个观点。如果这种假设成真,它肯定会产生蝴蝶效应:这些官员的胃口将变得更大。他们的钱最终可能是天文数字。有一天,他们的行为将会发现是严重犯罪,他们将在_度过他们的余生。
所以可以证明没有任何夸张,当我们看的'后果,我们可能会发现很难评估成本。但这些成本是非常可观的,甚至可能把整个社会系统陷入混乱。发生很多,最有效的解决办法是吸引当局,或采取法律手段。但这只是一个被动的学汉语只有在极端情况下工作。因此,我建议大规模媒体,学校教育和家庭培养应该激活呼吁自律在这个问题上。
Dear Bob:

Dear Sir or madam,
I am the chairman of the Student Union of Tsinghua University, and our union is organizing a social survey project on Chinese history. So it’s necessary for us to have a visit to your historical exhibition to get some material about the local tradition. I would be grateful if you could supply me with the following information.
Firstly, I need detailed information concerning the contents of the exhibition, for example, what’s the theme of the exhibition? Secondly, I would also like to inquire if there is any discount available on the entrance tickets for students. About 100 students will take part in the visit, and I would appreciate it if you could give us discount.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I am looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.

The cartoon is simple but thought-provoking. As is vividly shown in the picture, there are two passengers sitting in a bus. One of them is a male, who is sitting cross-legged and smoking. The whole bus is filled with the black smoke. While the other one is a female, who is sitting in front of the man and covering her nose with a tissue to prevent the harm of the secondhand smoke. There is no doubt that the picture implies that the secondhand smoke exists everywhere and it is hazardous.
This phenomenon has an undesirable impact on our daily life. Firstly, it does harm to and sacrifices our physical and mental health. What’s worse, it is the main cause of lung cancer and about 10% people die of it every year. In addition, our environment and ecosystem will be severely polluted and thus it hinders our sustainable and scientific development. Were the situation to continue, we would pay a high price.
Accordingly, it is imperative for us to take drastic and effective measures to control this situation. Firstly, we should appeal to the government to make strict laws and regulations to ban smoking in public places. As for ourselves, we should take practical actions to stop smoking and protect our living environment. Only in this way can we have opportunities to expect a beautiful world and a bright future to come.
How concise but thought-provoking the picture is! What is clearly depicted in the picture is that a boy,sitting in front of a computer, is selecting courses through the system of selecting courses, who takes a considerable number of factors into consideration ,which include the emphasis of innovation, the updating of knowledge and the level of difficulty as well as the scoring, the qualified rate and burden of assignment. Apparently，it is how to make the best courses for college students that is what the author intends to convey to us.
It is not uncommon to find that with the development of society and economy,the competition is becoming increasingly intense and the updating of knowledge is getting quicker and some courses are easy to learn and get high scores，it may be out of addition ，it has been universally acknowledged that the awareness of innovation will not only be beneficial to our personal growth and success but also contribute to the development and progress of society and economy ，which is the most essential qualification that anyone who wants
to achieve success should ，the courses stressing innovation should be , the way to success is full of obstacles and hardships. Anyone who is eager to get successful must realize that there is no shortcut to success at all because all achievements come from laborious trial and effort. Accordingly ，young students are supposed to choose some courses with great difficulties to improve their abilities.
After what we have discussed above，we can reasonably come to the conclusion that whatever the prospect is，however difficult the situation is，we ，young students ，should have the courage to face difficulties ，be willing to absorb new knowledge and cultivate the consciousness of am strongly convinced that only by doing so,can our promising future be guaranteed.
The bar chart clearly indicates the turnover of online shopping and its growth rate in China from 2001 to 2008. During that period, there was a dramatic increase from billion to 125 billion in its turnover. Meanwhile, the growth rate decreased from 200% to at the same time.
Why dose this phenomenon take placeThere are generally three factors accounting for it. First and foremost, due to the fast economic and social development, people enjoy a sharp improvement in their living standards. Accordingly, they can afford to buy computers and mobile phones: the common tools for shopping online. Besides, e-shopping is extremely convenient and efficient. It is available 7/24 and this means people can buy what they want anytime without going out. Last but not least, the price of the goods online is much lower than those in the stores, which greatly caters to the consumer’s needs.
From what has been discussed above, we can predict that the turnover of online shopping will continue to increase at an alarming rate and it will give a huge boost to our national economy. However, we should also be aware of its drawbacks, such as fake commodities, personal financial security, illegal ads and so on. Thereby, we should take a reasonable and scientific attitude towards it.
From the picture above,we can see a spical _hotpot_,which contains many unique ingredients,stand for _LAO SHE_,_KONG FU_,_Decompostion_ and some things to that the bottom of the picture,a sentence stands there extremely prominent,which can be brielf interpreted by this way：culture _hotpot_ is not only good tasting but also strongly good for one`s health.
从上图中，我们可以看到一种五香“火锅”，它含有许多独特的成分，代表“老舍”、“功夫”、“分解”和一些类似的东西。在图片的底部，有一句话非常突出，可以简单地解读为：文化“火锅”不仅味道好，而且对健康有很大的好处。
A bit exggerating picture is,however,through careful observation,we may discover that behind this strange senario,what the cartoonist intends to show us is extremely obvious：the significance of integration between Chinese culture and other countries` culture.
然而，有点夸张的是，仔细观察，我们会发现，在这个奇怪的`故事背后，漫画家想要向我们展示的是极其明显的：中国文化与其他国家文化融合的意义。
With the implementation of the China`s reform and opening up,an emerging tendency is that more and more foriegners are getting fascinated with our Chinese come to China to learn Chinese language,taste delicious Chinese foods,make friends with Chinese people,and these make them pretty comfortable and the same time,however,this phenomenon also stirred a heated dated in our society,so,how to render the other countries` culture be more compatible with our Chinese culture has caused wide public concern.
随着中国改革开放的实施，一个新的趋势是越来越多的外国人对我们的中国文化着迷。他们来中国学习汉语，品尝美味的中国食物，与中国人交朋友等等。所有这些都让他们感到非常舒适和愉快。然而，与此同时，这一现象也在我国社会引起了热议，因此，如何使其他国家的文化与我国的文化更加兼容，引起了公众的广泛关注。
As far as I am concerned,before giving my opinion I think we should take closely look at the culture`s function should be more aware of that culture integration not only benefits to our making a further development but exerts a great contribution to the world peace.
就我而言，在发表我的观点之前，我认为我们应该广泛地仔细研究文化的功能。政策制定者应该更加意识到，文化融合不仅有利于我们的进一步发展，而且对世界和平有着巨大的贡献。
In the black and white drawing above, a youth gravely contemplates a narrow winding path heading into a forest. Perhaps he thinks that his own future may be much like this path; full of bends and curves, thorns and traps. The road to success is never anything but uneven and difficult.
In fact, one could even say that the more successful one's life is, the more problems and hardships one must have overcome. The ability to work through difficult situations and unfortunate events only makes one stronger and more capable. Given that the road to happiness always contains obstacles and setbacks, we should be well prepared for the hardships that life inevitably brings, and abandon the idea that life is smooth or easy. We must accept the fact that failures are unavoidable, whether they are failures in examinations, in finding a job, or carrying out a task. People who accept that their life will not always be simple or calm are better able to handle problems when they arise. Those who are upset by each and every small setback — and there are many people with such attitudes— do not have much potential. Failure is mother to success as it can strengthen one's will. Those who can draw lessons from failure are destined for success.
Nowadays, with the development of technology, many young people stay indoors and play computer all the time. Especially for those who stay up very late or go out to play for fun until midnight, then they wake up at noon the next day. This is the unhealthy lifestyle, and they need to make some changes.
First, having regular break time and enough sleep is the basic way to keep healthy. Some young people hang out for fun after work. They need to release their pressure and have fun with their friends. They go home very late and then next day get up, preparing to work. In the long run, they not only have low efficiency, but also damage their bodies.
Second, keep the balanced diet. Most people are picky about food. They only choose the food they like and lose the balance of nutrition. For most kids, they like to have meat and refuse of the vegetables and fruit. It is not good for the growth of their bodies.
The healthy lifestyle helps people live the harmonious life. Besides having enough sleep and keeping balance diet, taking exercise is also in need.
