My Dream Everyone has his own dream, which can be realized or not and which can be different from time to time.However, there must be a long –term one in one’s mind.In other words, it is not easy to be realized.I have a dream: to pa CET-6 before I graduate from the university.It’s maybe easy for most of my clamates, but to me it is as difficult as cracking the hardest nut in the world.I have been studying English for about 10 years.It should not be the No.1 task in my university agenda, but too many failures forced me to do so.I entered one of the most famous universities in China with the almost lowest English mark among all my students.I was really disappointed about that.Although I was not good at English when I was in the middle school, it was not at least about the average.I had no strength to face the frustration.After a semester’s study I was the lowest indeed.I have never cried for study before, but this time I shed tears.Since then I made up my mind to pa CET-6 before my graduation.Glanced back to my English studying experience, I realized that interest is one of the key factors to grasp knowledge.I study English only for the examination before, but not the language itself.That is the weakest point of me.I must overcome it so as to realize my dream.I made a plan: read one story until I can recite it each day;listen to the tapes related to the books as well.English is not so disgusting for me now.I will persist in doing so even after I pa CET-6.I wish my English would be as good as my native language in the future.2.What Is Happine What is happine? Perhaps different people have different views on happine.Some people think that material satisfaction would bring happine.But in fact they have overlooked the fact that true happine comes from the realization of what you have done in your part in advancement of other people’s life as well as your own.Some people try every means to make money at the expense of others interests.These people harm others to benefit themselves.They think the great sum of money they make, the happier they will be.On the contrary, some people think that spiritual satisfaction is the greatest happine.They do everything for the people.They live, work, and sacrifice their life for the people.In my opinion, I believe, one’s value lies in the value of serving the people, the country and the whole society.I am sure those who make contributions, big or small, to our country will be regarded as the happiest people.They should be recognized and respected.The point is what you can do, but not how people look on you.It is how much you contribute, not how much you gain.I think this is the true meaning of life that everyone of us should have.3.My View on Honesty Honesty is the long-lasting virtue of people all over the world.Likewise, it is also one of the deeply-held values of the Chinese people.Some people believe that in the market economy, honesty tends to be obsolete.In my opinion, honesty will never be out of date no matter what the situation might be.Firstly, honesty has been treasured and honest people have been respected throughout history in all parts of the world.People everywhere would regard honesty as a virtue and hate a dishonest person.Secondly, honesty is the basis of interactions among people.People should treat each other sincerely and open their hearts to each other.Only in this way can the relationship among the people be natural.Thirdly, in the market economy, some people try to get more money at the cost of honesty.To them, a best busineman is one who can cheat most tactfully.Even in this kind of society, honesty is deeply valued by most people.We can see that not only in history, but also at the present day, honesty was and is valued by the majority of the people and the virtue will not perish so easily.4.Preserving Our Environment Man is slowly polluting his environment.He dirties the air with waste gases;he poisons the water with chemical wastes;he damages the soil with fertilizers.Pollution does great harm to man.As we know, air, water, and soil are neceary to man’s survival.Polluted air, water and soil make people sick and even cause deaths.Environmental pollution is becoming one of the most serious problems that mankind faces.Now it’s high time that drastic action be taken.First we should make the public aware of the dangers caused by pollution.Second, we should take pollution control measures to reduce pollution.Third, we should keep our pollution under control.After all, the earth is our home.We must take care of it for ourselves and our descendants.5.Foreign Investment Thanks to the open policy in China, more and more foreign businemen have come to invest, building new factories, mines and other busine enterprises, or enlarging and improving old ones.Foreign investment is important in that it supplements the economy of our country.It has the advantage of importing foreign capital, technology, talents, advanced equipment and methods of management.Ours is a country of vast territory, abounding in natural resources and labor force.Foreign investment can help to explore the resources and make use of the labor force, thus giving our strong points to play.In a word, foreign investment may improve our economy.Of course foreign investment is of mutual benefit.The foreign businemen can also reap profits, otherwise they would not come to invest.To attract more foreign investment, we must maintain the country’s political stability to bring about a good investment environment.Meanwhile we should carry out some good policies, which makes the foreign businemen believe that to invest in China does pay.6．No Pains, No Gains It is obvious to everybody that the only way to achieve one’s goal is to work hard.Just as the old saying goes ― no mill, no meal‖.Have you ever seen a man who succeeds just by idling about? Of course, the answer is ―No‖.So we know if you want to gain something, you will have pains.The farmers harvest by a year of arduous work;the scientists gain achievements by years of devoted researches;students get good marks by working hard;even the little ants have their food by working hard day and night.I know there are always some people who wait for the opportunities falling on them.They may attribute their failures to lack of good chances.Therefore, there are so many people gaining nothing at last.Clever men know that the more effort they make, the bigger chance they will have to be succeful.So, when others achieve their aspirations and you will gain nothing, don’t complain about the unfair fate and don’t give up, either.Remember: no pains, no gains.7.Practice Makes Perfect The saying that ―practice makes perfect‖ means that after you have plenty of practice in what you are doing, you will be perfect in it.He who practices a lot will master the skill more quickly than he who seldom or hardly practices.For example, when we learn English, we have to learn grammar, words, expreions and so on.The most important thing may be how to put what we have learned into practice.If you only learn the grammar rules by heart and don’t do enough exercises, it is certain that you can’t understand them perfectly.But if you practice a lot, maybe you will understand them more deeply and you can find some good methods of applying them.Memorizing English words whenever time permits, we can easily memorize them and can even find a way to memorize them more quickly.There is another example.A famous singer can sing very well.Of course, his talent is very important, but practice is neceary.It is neceary to practice to make the singer sing better and better.It is evident that practice is important for everybody.If you want to improve you study and work, you should remember that practice makes perfect.8.My View On Following The Fashion Nowadays more and more young people prefer to follow the fashion.On this phenomenon, different people have different views.It is held that one should follow the fashion so as not to be despised or considered eccentric.But it is also held that one should have one’s own judgment.Those who hold the first opinion think that society is progreing and one should adapt oneself to the constant change.In their opinion, if everyone always sticks to the old fashion, there won’t be any change and naturally there won’t be progre.In contrast, those who hold the second view think that one shouldn’t follow the fashion without discrimination and one should have one’s own judgment and characteristics.As for me, I agree with the latter opinion.Admittedly, one should be flexible and adapt himself to the situation, but this is not to say that one should follow the fashion without discrimination because the fashion may not be beneficial.We should consider whether the fashion is favorable or unfavorable.Moreover, one should have one’s own characteristics.If everyone follows the same fashion, there will not be variety and the whole society will be monotonous.9.Why Do We Learn English The English language has become an international language, because it is used by people in the most countries in the world now.In the open times, if you want to do busine with foreigners, you must learn English because most of them speak and write in English, English is one of the working languages at international meetings today, most of valuable books are written in English, if you know much English, you will read newspapers and magazines in English and learn a lot of knowledge about interaction better.You also can do what you should do for the world peace.English is very important to us, but many students don’t know why he should learn it.I hope that all the students should pay more attention to English study and use it freely.10.On talents
Why did some people become world-famous and admired by millions of others? Were they really mote talented than other people? Or did they succeed through hard work?
In my opinion, talents play a le important role than hard work in people’s studies or work.First of all, if we work hard, we can make good use of our talents.As is known to all, Madame Curie won the Nobel Prize twice for her great scientific discoveries.She achieved her succe by making experiments one after another.Besides, hard work can cultivate our talents.Edison, the inventor of light, was said to be stupid when he was young.By making great efforts in his work, he become more and more clever and succeeded in his work.in fact, we can all get ahead in our studies or work through hard work.In short, in our studies and work, talents are not so important as hard work.Working had, our talents can be fully made use of and well cultivated.11.A Famous Speech I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed----we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today!When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children----black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants----will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual.―Free at last, free at last.Thank God Almightly, we are free at last.‖
By Martin Luther King,JR(US)参考译文: 我有一个梦：有一天，这个国家将站起来，并实现他信条的真正含义：我们将捍卫这些不言而喻的真理，即所有人生来平等。我有一个梦：有一天，在佐治亚洲红色的山丘上，从前奴隶的子孙们能和奴隶主的子孙们像兄弟一样坐在同一张桌旁；我有一个梦：我的四个孩子有一天将生活在这样一个国度，在那里，人们不是以肤色，而是以品格来评价他们。当自由的钟声响起的时候，当我们让它在从每一个村庄，每一个州，每一个城市响起的时候，我们将能够加速这一天的到来。那时，上帝所有的孩子，无论是黑人、白人，还是犹太人、异教徒，天主教徒或是新教徒，他们都能手挽手歌唱那古老的黑人圣歌：―终于自由了，终于自由了，感谢上帝，我们终于自由了！‖ ——[美] 马丁 路德 金
12.How to Make Friends Everyone needs friends.A friend can give us help and share our difficulties and happine.But how can we make friends? First, to make friends, you must be friendly to others.Smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return.You should try to make a stranger feel at home wherever he happens to be.Think more of others than of yourself and never judge a person by his appearance and clothes.Second, friends should negotiate instead of quarrel.When you don’t agree someone, please discu with him.Finally, never believe in those who leave you when you are in trouble.And never leave your friend when he is in trouble.Remember, a friend in need is a friend indeed.Friends should be faithful to each other.So long as you can put your friend’s interests in front of yours, you will have a lot of good friends.13.Habits Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.When a person does a certain thing again and again, he’ll be obliged to do it in the same way by some unseen force.Thus habit is formed.Once a habit is formed, it is difficult and sometimes almost impoible to get rid of it.Therefore, it is very important that we should take care in the formation of habits.Good habits have many advantages.Going to bed early and getting up early makes us healthy.Diligence helps to succeed.Honesty helps win the respect and trust of others.If we form bad habits, such as rudene, lazine, lying and stealing, we might be mined by them.We ought to keep away from bad habits and try to acquire habits good for ourselves and others.14.On Confidence As we all know, ―failure is the mother of succe.‖ But I just want to say ―succe is the baby of confidence.‖
First of all, confidence makes us happier in our life.Life is like a wonderful song, a bright and colorful painting.If confidence is with us in our life, we will find that life really becomes richer and more interesting.Then, confidence makes us brave and courageous.If we lack confidence in ourselves, how can we overcome difficulties we meet with? If we have no confidence in ourselves, how can we succeed in developing ourselves in the future? Without confidence, nothing can be accomplished.Finally, I would like to use the following words as our mutual encouragement: ―if you think you can, you can.‖
15.Train Travel or Air Travel Air travel has two advantages over train travel.First, it can save much time.We can fly from Beijing to Guangzhou just in two hours, but by train, we have to spend 24 hours or more.Second, air travel is more comfortable, because the plane flies so smoothly that we can rest well during the trip, while the train is crowded sometimes and paengers have to sit for a long time, which makes them tired.But train travel also has its advantages.For example, traveling by train costs only 250 yuan while traveling by air will cost 900 yuan.Besides this, outside of the train’s windows, we can enjoy the views of many big cities, such as Zhengzhou, Wuhan, and Changsha.So I think different people like different ways of traveling.16.Social Practice in Education It is a common weak point among today’s college students that the majority of them have little knowledge of social reality.Social practice is a bridge between their theory and reality.Timely participation in social practice will benefit them all through their life.Social practice must become an organic component of the nation’s higher education.If so, students are sure to learn more than their textbooks.Their participation in social practice and knowledge of society they learn and national conditions might strengthen their sense of social responsibility;their close contact with the working people might help them to apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problem.In recent years, many college students have been sent to the basic level to keep in contact with workers and farmers.The proce has proved effective in enriching their knowledge of reality.So social practice is very important for college students.17.The Importance of confidence Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence.If one has no confidence, there is little poibility that one would ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships.This truth seems to be evident.However, in reality we do see a lot of people who complain that they like the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to be overcome.For someone, this might be true.But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.Why do people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? There are, among others, two main reasons.First, these people do have a correct estimate of themselves.Second, they overestimate the difficulties.It is poible to build up faith in oneself by having the right attitude towards one’s abilities.We should never underestimate one’s abilities.But believe in the proverb: ―Where there is a will, there is a way.‖ Confidence is the promise for fulfilling a task succefully.18.Making good use of time
A famous American poet says well, ―Life is short, art is long.‖ Everyone should work hard and study well.Never waste any time.Now we are young, it’s high time for all of us to make up our minds to study for our county.Youth time is like a happy bird.If it flew away, it would never return.Nothing is more precious than time.Today some students spend too much time enjoy their lives such as eating, clothing, traveling and so on.Others spend too much time reading books of small value and little importance.A lot of time has been wasted.They have no idea that waste of time means wasting of one’s life.While we are young and full of vigor, let’s work hard.19.Failue and succe Failure is a common thing in one’s life.Almost everyone experience failure in his life.When one fails in his attempt in doing something, he often feels upset.Some people may yield to failure and flinch from it.But others will stick to and achieve the final succe.Succe is what everyone expects.It may lead to fame and glory.When one succe in doing something, he gets so excited that he often neglects all the succeful attempts he has done.As the old saying says, ‖Failure teaches succe.‖ It is true that failure is an important factor towards succe.The way to succe is full of various difficulties and obstacles.Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failure.And only those succees which have been achieved after many failures are really valuable and praiseworthy.20.Travel A succeion of beautiful scenery makes one feel delighted.A long stay in the same surroundings seems to make everything the same.Routine work often makes one bored.But if you take a trip or a long journey on your holidays to some scenic sports or historic sites, that will make great difference.Travel can widen one’s knowledge.The farther you go, the more you will learn about different politics, economics, customs as well as geography.If you travel the whole world some day, you will fully understand the globe on which we live.However, too much travel causes tiredne.You get on a taxi or a bus, you travel on a train or in a plane, being patient with the hours needed on your route from one place to another, that will make you exhausted after a while.21.Smile Before you do everything, smile first.When you need some help, you should say:―Excuse me.‖ At the same time, if you show your unhappy face, he will be unhappy too.How can you get the help while he has no pleasure? So show your smile, and you will get his help.In fact, smile is a difficult job.It seems very difficult for you to smile when you are sad.Don’t be afraid.Make up your mind to try once, only once, and you will find that you are much better in heart.Smile is also a kind of language which cannot be heard by anyone, but persons always know its meaning.When you meet your friends in the morning, smile means ― Good morning!‖ When you fail, the friend’s smile means ― Have another try!‖ So when you smile.Although you don’t say any word, you can understand each other.Remember to smile, and happy life you’ll get, I think!
22.The Value Of Reading Books People often say that gold and silver are the most valuable things in the world.But I don’t think so.In my opinion, to read books is more valuable than anything else.The old saying : ―To open a book is always helpful ‖ clearly shows us how good it is to read a book.Books are our friends.They introduce us different kinds of knowledge.They lead us down the road to succe.Books are our teachers.They teach us truth, science, literature, and philosophy of life.Besides, they increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience, strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.We have to learn as long as we live.But our life is limited, and the knowledge is boundle.There are many things which are very neceary to learn and there also many things which should be avoided.Books tell us what is good and what is evil.And only books can tell the good from the bad.Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students.23.An Opening Speech Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls，We are very happy to gather here to hold an English evening party.First of all, let me introduce our distinguished guest tonight: Mr.Chen, the secretary of the CPC, Committee of our school.And I would also like to take this opportunity to wish Mr.Smith to enjoy his stay at our school and all present to have a wonderful time tonight.Now let’s invite Mr.Li to say a few words to us.(Li’s speech)
Thank you, Mr.Li.Now it’s time for us to have performance.For this evening party, all the claes have made careful preparations.So I’m sure we’ll be able to enjoy many excellent performances tonight.The first item is a group dance given by Cla 3.Senior 2.Now let’s give them warm applause.24.My Friend One of my friends is a beautiful and clever girl whose name is Li Hua.With rosy cheeks, she has a pair of bright eyes, which shine below her arch eyebrows.Within her small mouth there are two lines of white teech.Her hair is straight and long, hanging down to her shoulders.She is healthy and attractive.She is very diligent in her leons.She always gets good marks in the examinations.Her teachers like her very much.She can also play the piano and sing sweet songs.In every new year’s party in cla she is always asked to play for her clamates.She is loved by her clamates.25.The Greatest Love It was a bit cold today.It kept raining from noon.Some students looked at the heavy rain and said some angry words in the claroom because they didn’t take raincoats with them.The rain got heavier and heavier.There were still many students left in the claroom.When I was going to home I found a familiar umbrella in the rain.I cried, ― Mother, I am here.‖ Mother ran into my claroom with several raincoats in her hands.―Don’t be afraid, kids.There are some raincoats here.I’ve borrowed them from my neighbors.‖ All of my clamates cheers.I couldn’t help kiing my mother’s face.I am proud that I have such a good mother.Her love is the greatest love in the world.26.A Pleasant Memory Of My Childhood I am eighteen years old now, but the recollection of the fun and amusement is like a sweet dream.One Sunday, our family went to climb the beautiful Shushan Hill.My father told my elder sister and me that the first one to get to the top would be given a toy.We jumped with joy.We started to run up.At first I took the lead.A few minutes later I was breathle and my sister was ahead of me.The soft maes of the waving gra, and the drowsy, balmy air all sent their warm invitation for me to rest.But I followed my thirst for the toy and continued climbing.At last I reached the top first.There we enjoyed the fascinating view and have a picnic.At about two o’clock we danced our way down the hill with joy in our hearts, and I felt happier than the other because I got a toy train.27.Quiting Smoking Father used to be a heavy smoker.He always smoked when he was watching TV, reading newspapers and so on.Mother and I had advised him to quit smoking many times.Though he knew smoking was harmful to health, he still said that smoking could make his head sober when he was sleepy.This lasted for a long time until one thing happening one day changed his mind.One day, when we were having supper, a loud cry from our neighbor’s house reached us.We didn’t know what had happened, so father decide to go to the neighbor’s room to have a look.After a while, he came home and told us in an upset voice, ― Mr.Wang died several minutes ago.‖ ―Why?‖ mother asked.Father didn’t answer but picked out all of his cigarettes and threw them away.Later on, we knew Mr.Wang died from over smoking.This evening, father promised to us, ―I will never smoke again.‖
28.My Beautiful Home Village My home village is a beautiful ancient village far from the town.There is no hill, but a clear brook arcs around the village, making half of the village like a peninsula.When I am away from home, my village is always in my mind.On one side of the brook, there are farmlands stretching as far as the eyes can see with farmers busy in the fields.The sun shines brightly through the pure, fresh air.After dark, I like to roam around the fields along foot-paths.The feeling was excellent.On the other side of the brook, there are many trees that are old and tall.There are lots of green bamboo groves that are young and full of life.The trees offer nice shade in the summer, and birds like singing in them.The bamboos sway gently in the fresh sunny breeze.The brook runs calmly and quietly through all this greenne, making a very nice picture.This is my home village, with the brook, trees, bamboos and farmlands so beautifully knit together.It is far away in the country, but always with me, wherever I am.29.The Great Wall The Great Wall of China is considered to be the only man-made project visible from the moon.Although it was once built entirely during the Qin Dynasty between 221 and 208 BC, it is now believed to have started earlier.The 15-foot-high, 25-foot-wide, 1500-mile-long structure was undoubtedly built to keep out invading enemies.To the common people of the empire, who had been forced to build the wall, it was not worth it, As a result, an angry population rose up in rebellion against the Qin Dynasty, and in 207 BC the Han Dynasty began.Because of its rich history and magnificent appearance, the Great Wall attracts tourists, scientists, and historians to this day and will continue to do so for generations.30.Work and Rest Jack, a middle school student, used to work hard at all his leons.Every day he got up earliest and went to bed lastest of the family.He never accepted his clamates’ invitation to outdoor activities.Sometimes , his parents, worrying about his health, advised him to have a rest and relax himself by watching TV, but he wouldn’t follow them, being bent on his books.Finally he fell ill and had to stay in hospital for several weeks.Now Jack is in poor health.Though he comes to school every day, he doesn’ t do so well as before in his studies.From Jack’s story, we can see that health is very important.We can even say that nothing is more valuable than health.It is the foundations of one ’s succe.If you become sick, it is nearly impoible to go on with your education, much le make your dreams come true.On the other hand, if you are strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles lie ahead of you.Now that we know health is very important.How to keep fit? First, we should spare some time to take exercise every day to strengthen our muscles.Second, we must go to bed earlier and get up earlier.If we get up early, we can breathe fresh air and make our heads wiser.In conclusion, health is no le important than working hard for a man.So we should, on one hand, work hard, and on the other hand, pay attention to health.31.A Happy Family I have a happy family.Though there is only a little furniture in my home and everything in the rooms seems rather disorderly, but I love my home very much.My father is an engineer, nearly fifty years old.As a party member, quite often he works late into the night.He simply forgets himself when he is reading.Once when having supper, I found that the soup tasted watery.It soon became clear that my father being deep in his reading, had forgotten to put salt in the soup.I have a kind mother.She is a primary school teacher.She loves her pupils and her job very much, putting all her heart into her work.All our clothes were made by tailors, for she is too busy to sew for us.As a housewife, she has to do almost all the housework.So she is the busiest one in our family.We all keep a lot of books and we love reading.During our leisure time, reading is our main hobby.Evening is the happiest hour in our family.We usually sit in my parents’ room, reading and discuing everything we’re interested in.I love my family.It not only gives me much happine and warmth but also teaches me how to be a real man.32.Application Ms.Lili P.O.Box 222 Bejing Jun 6, 2005
Dear Sirs, I have just read in the newspaper that a secretary of the English language is wanted in your company.I am therefore writing to introduce myself to you.I’d like to get the Part-time job.I am female senior student of 17 years old.My name is Lili.I am studying in the language department.I can speak, read and write English well.As a second foreign language, I can read and speak a little Japanese.I have some working experience as a typist during my spare time at school, and as a tourist guide during summer holidays.The boes I worked for all satisfied with my work.I am sure I’ll satisfy you as well.You can get more information about my study and work from the college.I can visit your office at any time for a talk or a test.Faithfully, Lili 33.Computer As we all know, the computer was one of the greatest and most advanced inventions of the 20 the century.It has been widely used in almost every field.It has come into our life.I have a computer and I like it very much.Every day I use my computer to search for information that is useful for my study.I can find information about all subjects and it is also of great help to my English study.Besides, from the computer I can get the latest news and enjoy popular songs.In my spare time, I use it to send E-mails to my friends who are far away.It makes me feel that they are close to me.In a word, the computer can offer me great help in my life and my study.It is my best friend.34.Autumn
Autumn is the third season of the year.The days in autumn are getting shorter and shorter, and the weather is getting cooler and cooler.Only second to spring, autumn is a very pretty season.These is a touch of romance in the glorious hues of falling leaves and the ripened colour of Nature!The fields are waving with yellow corn, and the trees change their colour from a bright green to muddy brown.The country is full of red and gold in the autumn.Even the sun seems to veil nature with more glorious lustre in the autumn days.There is a touch of sadne in autumn too.Towards the end of the season, the trees begin to lose their foliage, and the branches gradually become bare;all around, the ground is strewed with withered leaves.So autumn may be compared to old age.Autumn is the time for us to gather the fruits of our labor, it reminds us of the saying ― As a man sows, so he shall reap!
35.China
China is in the east of Asia.Its neighbours in the landma are twelve countries, such as Ruia, India, Vietnam, etc.It faces the Pacific Ocean.It covers more than 9.6 million square kilometres.There are many large rivers in China.Among them the Changjiang River and the Yellow River are the longest and most important.China has twenty-eight provinces and autonomous regions and four cities directly under the central government.There are two Special Administrations-the HongKong Special Administration and the Macao Special Administration.Besides Taiwan will be unified in the future.China has the largest population in the world.The number of people living there is already over 1.3 billion now.The Chinese nation is made up of 56 nationalities.Among them Han is the largest, making up 94% of the whole.It has a long history of more than 5000 years.China is a developing country.The Chinese people are working hard to realize the four modernization in the future.36.The City I Like Best
I have been to several cities.Hangzhou is the one I like best.Hangzhou is a beautiful city.The West Lake with mountains all around is the prettiest part.It takes on a different look with the change of seasons.In spring, the path around the lake is lined with green trees and pink peach flowers.It fills me with strength and energy.In summer, sitting by the quiet and peaceful lake with green lotus leaves and white or pink lotus flowers everywhere, I forget all my worries.When I step on the golden leaves in autumn, it gives me a feeling of good harvest.In winter, the trees and paths covered with white snow bring me a pure and noble feeling.The whole city is just like a big garden.No wonder it’s compared to the paradise on earth.In addition, there are many places of interest worth visiting.Therefore, I like Hangzhou better than any other city.37.Water
Water is very important for living things.Without water there can be no life on earth.All animals and plants need water.Man also needs water.Water is found almost everywhere.Even in the driest part of the world there is some water in the air.Water, which you have found out, may be a solid, or a liquid or a gas.When it is a solid, it may be as hard as a brick.When it is a liquid, you can pour it out from a container.When it is gas, you cannot see it or feel it.Although about 70 percent of the earth’s surface is covered by water, there are many places in the world still running out of water.So we should make good use of water on earth.38.The Telephone
The telephone is one of the most welcome and useful inventions.No wonder more and more families have got to use their own telephone today.The telephone makes things easy in many ways.Especially, after the mobile telephone appears, communication becomes easier and rapider.To students and people going out for busine far away from their homes, the telephone can shorten the distance between them and their families.Thus they will get comfort whenever they are homesick or they run into trouble.With the help of the telephone, people can keep in touch with anyone at any time and in any place for urgent help.In such a case, the telephone is especially important.When we read an advertisement in a newspaper or watch it on TV, we can ask for more information about the product through the telephone and even place an order.All in all, the telephone is so helpful that we can say that nowadays we can not live without the telephone in our daily life.We will further improve the performance of the telephone so as to create better conditions for its development.39.The Happy Summer Holidays
August 28 the Saturday Fine On July 5 th I went to my hometown for the summer holidays.My hometown is a small village in Yanjin.Only my grandpa and my grandma live there.When I got home that day, they were very happy to see me.―You have grown so tall.When a handsome boy!‖ they said with a smile.The next day, some friends of my age came to our house to see me.They liked playing games with me.One day, they followed me to the orchard by the village.The owner gave us some apples which tasted fairly delicious.We had a good time.There was a river in the west of the village.Because of the hot weather, I often went to swim in it with other boys.We ran after each other in the water.What a wonderful time we had!Often in the morning, I read my English texts and in the evening I sat on a fallen tree outside, telling stories to the children.They all listened to me very carefully.But how time flies!I had to leave.I was going to do further study in a high school.I like countryside.It has bright sunshine and clean air.I love my grandpa and grandma, and they also love me very much.I promised them that I would come here next summer!40.Where to live----in the city or in the country Many people appreciate the conveniences of the city.People in the city can see films, visit exhibitions and watch games every day if they like to.Furthermore, if they want to become scholars, scientists or artists, they can find what they need in the city: libraries, colleges, museums, and so on.The last but not the least important thing I’d like to say is that they can get to know as many people as they want in the city.But some other people are attracted by the beauty of the country.First, if one is in the country he feels he is closer to nature: small streams, high mountains, fresh air, green gra and so on, all this makes people happy and stirs up the love of life.Second, in the country, people seem to have more freedom.They can sing high in the field, ride horses along a brook and do some interesting farm work.Of course, both the city and the country have their disadvantages.As for the city, there is pollution, noise and heavy traffic.And as far as the country is concerned, its inefficient transportation, delayed news always make people feel isolated.Compared with cities, the country is relatively backward, but nothing can be compared with the clean atmosphere and the gentle pace of living.Living in the country is very good for your health.With the development of economy, it is a trend that people will migrate from the city to the country.41.Haste Makes Waste There is an old saying,―Haste makes waste.‖It’s the experience of our forefathers, however, it is correct in many cases even today.Usually, if you act faster, you can reach your goals earlier.But it isn’t always the case.If you emphasize only on speed but ignore the quality of your work, your effect will be the opposite.The more hasty you are,t he slower you achieve completene and succe.Suppose you are preparing for your final examination.There are a lot of exercises to do and many notes to memorize.The fact that you have not enough time makes you very worried.So you have read and write continuously ,without rest, without sleep, without relaxation.The result is that your brain is le and le efficient, your proce is slower and slower.The situation goes from bad to worse.All your efforts lead to nothing.On the contrary, if you do your preparations with a calculated plan and carry out the plan step by step, your work will be effective.Consequently, you will take part in the exams confidently with good preparations.Whatever you do, please remember the saying----Haste makes waste.If you understand it and apply it to your study or work, you’ll benefit a lot form it.42.Health It is clear that health is the foundation of one’s future succe.If you get sick, it is nearly impoible to pursue your career effectively, much le make your dreams come true.On the other hand, if you are stout and strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead of you.Now that we know that health is the source of our energy, what should we do to maintain and enhance our health? First, we should exercise every day to strengthen our muscles.Second, we should keep regular reasonable hours.If we get up early, we can breathe fresh air.This habit can do wonders in our life.Third, there is a proverb that says, ―Prevention is better than cure.‖
In short, health is more important than wealth.Those who are rich but lose their health are no more fortunate than those who are poor.If you want your wish to come true, you should do exercise and keep fit.Health is the most important of your succe.43.How To Spend Spare Time Physical activities and intelletual pastimes are the two basic ways for us to spend our spare time.Different people may have different ,means of spending their leisure time.Some people prefer taking part in physical activities, such as playing football or tennis, boating, fishing, walking, and so on.Physical recreation affords them the opportunities to strengthen their bodies and satisfy their competitive nature.Some other people enjoy doing intellectual activities.They take a lot of pleasure from reading, or listening to music.They believe that books are a neceary nourishment for mind and spirit.I prefer a balance of these activities to provide both the physical conditioning and mental relaxation.For me, physical recreation is neceary for good health but intellectual activities such as reading books provide the most pleasure.44.Exercise A state of physical and mental health allows you to take part in exercise comfortably and enjoyably so that it doesn’t hurt, so that you look forward to it, laugh, and feel good afterwards.Working out helps you deal with stre in your job, relationship or any area of life—poibly because exercise is a form of stre itself and helps condition your body to deal with it.Even a little exercise can make you think le anxiously.Studies have shown that any amount of exercise, from a brisk 10-minute walk to an intense aerobics or weightlifting seion seems to decrease feelings of anxiety.Working out regularly may make you smarter now and leen the poibility that you’ll lose brain function as your age.According to a recent animal study at the University of Illinois, exercise can actually help the brain develop new cells.In several studies, regular weight training or aerobic exercise was shown to improve the quality and duration of sleep.Naturally, this can make you le tired and be able to function better during the day.Finally, there’s one more reason to keep exercising.When you work out regularly, your body simply functions better—you are better, healthier and le likely to suffer painful physical condition.45.Football One of the most surprising things about football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have.He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams.He has photographs of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches.He will tell you, with a great air of authority, who he expects will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.Most schools in England take football seriously—much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where leons are all-important, and games left for private arrangements.In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in a claroom;education also means character training;and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working selfishly for himself alone.Football is a good team game.It is good exercise for the body.It needs skill and a quick brain.It is popular and cheap.As a result, it is the school’s favorite game in winter.46.Can Money Buy Happine Can Money Buy Happine? Yes, claim the authors of a new study—but only up to a point.Nowadays, whether the rich are happier as a whole than the le well-to-do persons is becoming an increasingly hot topic for debate.It’s investigated that richer people are happier because money can purchase goods and services and it is the consumption of these materials that increases one’s enjoyment of life and one’s sense of well-being.As incomes in the U.S.tend to rise over the course of our lifetimes, individuals may find themselves on a sort of treadmill, consuming more and more just to maintain a constant level of happine.Firebaugh and his colleagues measured the age, total family income, and general happine of individuals aged 20 to 64, generally considered the working life span for most Americans.Regardle of such criteria as physical health, education, and marital status, people’s happine was affected by what others earned.The higher the income of others in one’s age group, the lower one’s happine.47.Perseverance Napoleon declared, ―Victory belongs to the most persevering.‖ Upon careful study we find perseverance depends upon three things—purpose, will, and enthusiasm.Life is in a sense battle.The man who thinks to get on by mere smartne and by idling meets failure at last.Perseverance is the master impulse of the firmest souls.Great men never wait for opportunities;they make them.They seize whatever is at hand, work out their problems, and master the situation.The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most poible out of the stuff that has been given to him.This is succe and there is no other.One of the important leons of life is to learn how to get victory out of defeat.This measures the difference between those who succeed and those who fail.We cannot measure a man by his failures.We must know what use he makes of them.The man who has not fought his way upward does not know the highest meaning of succe.48.What is a good student What is a good student? Different people have different answers to this question.Someone thinks that a good student should be good at academic work.Others claim that a good student should be one who has all round development of morality, intelligence and physique.But I think.In addition to the above mentioned, a good student, above all, should be capable of doing practical work, and must be competent in the future work.First, a good student must cultivate good morality.Good manners and noble ideas make up a true man.Such bad habits as smoking and drinking should be got rid of.Whenever he finds something wrong, correct it boldly.In short, he should everything right.He should also study diligently and put his knowledge into practice.Knowledge is power.One would not reach the rich storehouse of knowledge unle he studies carefully.To apply knowledge to practical use is more important.He should apply his learning to something practical to benefit the people.Last but not least , he should make his body strong and healthy.Health is the key to succe.The healthier your body is, the brighter your mind will be, and the higher learning can be attained.In a word ,the competition is becoming fierce.In order to meet the future challenge, students should be better prepared with not only academic excellence but also various virtues and skills.49.My View on College Students’ Part-time Jobs Nowadays, an increasing number of college students are doing part-time jobs.People hold different opinions on that.Some people think that there are many advantages for college students to have part-time jobs.Firstly, part-time jobs offer them opportunities to apply what they have learned in school and demonstrate their family and builds up their self-confidence.Thirdly, part-time experiences may be of great help to their future careers.Finally, part-time jobs can broaden their school lives and help them know more of themselves and society.However, some other people hold that doing part-time jobs has more disadvantages.The main job of college students is to study, not to work.If they have part-time jobs, they may have to reduce their time for sleep, rest, study and activities.Working several hours a day consumes a lot of time and energy and may affect their studies.As a result, they may find it hard to adjust to what the college expects from them as well as their employers expect, and finally, they may fall behind or fail in their studies.In my opinion, students can choose to take up a part-time job according to their own situation.The most important thing for him is to keep a good balance between part-time jobs his study.50.Telephone or Letter? Communication is very important both in the past and at present , and it tends to be more eential in modern society.Telephone and letter are two main means of communication, they both have advantages and disadvantages.Communicating with other people by telephone is very convenient, especially when you have something urgent.For example ,if one of your family members is seriously ill at night, and you don’t know how to deal with it and where to find a doctor or a taxi.What can you do? A telephone is the answer.Dial 120 and you will get services from the doctor very soon.In addition, with the quick rhythm of life, people usually don’t have as much time to write letters as before, again telephone solves the problem.Friends can chat through the wire.it seems that telephone shortens the distance between people.Men can keep in touch with each other more easily.However, still some people prefer writing letters to communicate with friends.First sending a letter is much cheaper than having a telephone call.Now 6 jiao will be enough to send your letter to your friends living in another city ,while maybe at least 2-3 yuan a minute will be cost for a distant telephone.Second, people can not only greet each other but also exchange their thoughts in letters.Because when a person writes, he must organize his mind and expre his ideas and feelings more logically, while telephone often makes people lazy.Finally, people easily keep secret in the letter and say whatever you want to say, while they sometimes can’t do that in a telephone.In my opinion, you can combine these two ways together: Some unimportant things can be expreed by a telephone , while some important or unspoken things can be done by a letter.
