I would not know whether the student submitting th e work was the same person who registered for the course.Online teaching also required rethinking how I deliver the subject matter. Withou t face-to-face communication, can I, via computer, make the students feel the same ki nd of enthusiasm and appreciate my sense of humor?My shy daughter’s experience proved to be very inspiring. She never spoke in cl ass, but in the two online courses she took, she dived into discussions and posted her o pinions.The online course began and things ran better than I had expected. The students a ll followed the directions well, and the discussion board was lively. I’ve never met an y of my students but I got to know them by their work and I saw their learning attitude s develop before my eyes.I found that online education worked best with students who were very comforta ble with the computer and willing to become part of a community built around the sub ject matter. And it required teachers to be willing to help build that sense of communit y and make the students feel the teacher was always there.UNIT 2WORD1)He was merely a boy;I wouldn't have expected him to understand those abstract formulas.2)Though leading a frugal life,Charles is very generous,contributing time and money to a number of charitable organizations.3)He wasn't the sort of person who kept things for sentimental reasons;he threw them away immediately after use.4)The fire had destroyed most the building,but we managed to salvage a few valuable items.5)He was looking through a pile of old newspaper clippings for the report on the 100th anniversary of the university.6)Reclining in a comfortable chair,David idly flipped througha sports magazine.7)How can you expect an 'A' for this course when you turn in an essay as sloppy as this?8)The project needs to be meticulously planned as we havea tight deadline and only a limited budget.EXPRESSION1)Due to the cleaners strike,the rubbish in my house had been left unattended for days and it began to pile up against the wall.2)I was thinking of giving away those baby clothes of my daughter's,but for sentimental reasons I couldn't bring myself to part with them.3)First apply shampoo to your hair and leave the shampoo for two minutes,then rinseit off with warm water.4)After months of preparation,Kate and her parter finally set up their own printing business.5)I put forward a number of suggestions to improve working efficiency,but the management just toyed with ideas for a while and then rejected them.6)When questioned about the high oil price at present,nearly all interviewees claimed they had been forced to cut down fuel and many reported inconvenience in their lives.7)Have you finished with scissor?We're waiting to have our paper-cutting done.8)Buried in mounds of files,I just wanted to get the whole thing over with sooner so that I could go away and enjoy my holiday with all my heart.9)The global financial crisis is cutting a swath through the country's economy,with companies going bankrupt and individuals cutting down on their expenditure.10)Paul is an easy-going fellow at heart though sometimes he is very harsh and strict with his students.CLOZEThe distinction between neat people and sloppy people boils down to this:neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people.For one thing,neat people are bums and clods at heart.They like results and do not care about process.Instead of carrying in their mind's eye a heavenly vision,they just handle everything once and for all and everything that is of no immediate use goes into the trash can.They are incredibly wasteful and put neatness before all else,even economics.By contrast,sloppy people take pains to develop ambitions plans.They may not be neat now but someday they will straighten out the world.Besides,neat people have cavalier attitudes toward everything,including such possessions as family heirlooms.And they are especially vicious with mail.They throw ads catalogs,and coupons into the trash can without opening them.They are so insensitive that people,animals,and things are all one to them.They would toy with the idea of throwing the children out of the house just to cut down on the clutter.On the other hand,sloppy people give loving attention to their possessions and find it impossible to part with anything.TRANSLATIONSloppy people are not really sloppy. It is just that the plan they carry in their min d’s eye is too precise, too stupendous and too perfect to be achieved in this world or th e next. They aim too high and wide. They save everything, planning someday to file a nd order. When they finally set about handling things, sloppy people just can’t bear to part with anything. After hours of work, the place looks exactly the same. So sloppy never get neat.Neat people place neatness above everything else. They like results and don’t car e about process. T hey have cavalier attitudes toward possessions. If anything collects dust, it’s got to go. They are incredibly wasteful. Anything that is not of immediate us e goes into the trash. They are insensitive and there is no sentimental salvaging of birt hday cards or the last letter a dying relative ever wrote. Neat people operate on two un varying principles: Never handle any item twice, and throw everything away. So the o nly thing messy in a neat person’s house is the trash can.So neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people. The distinction betwee n them is moral.UNIT 3WORD1)Every year George gives his wife Gigi a huge bunch of red roses on her birthday.2)I tried to give up smoking several times before I realized I was addicted to it.3)Young people who abuse drugs regularly often end up as very immature adults because they never learn to cope with their problems.4)After long separation we finally had a family reunion whereI saw relatives I hadn't seen for 20 years.5)He catches cold easily because his body's immune system is suppressed by the virus.6)His words have sown the seeds of suspicion in our minds and we are going tore-examine the evidence he has given in court.7)Miss Walker's father had gone bankrupt owing to a failed business venture with his dishonest partners.8)The invention of modern appliances such as washing machines and plug-in conveniences has liberated women from household chores and enabled them to enter the workforce.9)The Smiths adopted a poor little girl who had been starved of affection since her parents died in an accident.10)According to official statistics,there are 58 deaths per 1000 children born in that remote area of the country.EXPRESSION1)A reputation for quality,coupled with very competitive prices,has made these cars very popular.2)Many officials have been wondering aloud about the Prime Minister's competence in handling the current financial crisis.3)You can lose five pounds a week on this diet.And best of all,you never have to feel hungry.4)The doctor advised those with heart problems to put a first-aid kit close at hand the time.5)Several times it had crossed his mind to check on the car,but he never actually did it.6)I'm not going to sit by and watch a man go to prison for something I've done. CLOZETobacco smoking has been a popular practice for centuries.The tobacco industry,coupled with Hollywood movie inwhich both hero and heroine puff away,has successfully established a glamorous image of smokers.As a result,people take up smoking with the illusion of looking either dapper or fashionable and most of them end up hopelessly addicted to cigarettes.In some Third World countries,as in American ghettos and on reservations,money that should be spent for food goes instead to the tobacco companies.Indeed,smoking is nothing but self-poisoning,and watching their loved ones dying of smoking,family members are often overwhelmed with a feeling of futility.Meanwhile,we must feel empathy for the tobacco plant itself.Though for centuries the plant has been venerated by Native Americans as a sacred medicine to heal wounds and cure diseases,it has been captured and abused to enslave the world.And with its true nature suppressed,the tobacco plant has become deadly.Indeed,we should redeem tobacco's soul,restore its self-respect right away and promote the slogan:"Every home a smoke-free zone."TRANSLATIONHer daughter smoked and she felt a deep hurt as her mother. She remembered ho w as a child she sat by, through the years, and watched her father, who smoked like a chimney, wheeze through most of his life feeling half his strength, and she remembere d how carefully she ate when she was pregnant, how patiently she taught her daughter how to cross a street safely. She had a feeling of futility when she saw her daughter r epeating the mistake of her grandfather.She did not want to see in the family another victory for the tobacco companies, but she was faced with powerful rivals: the tobacco industry and Hollywood. The two collaborated to winover completely people like her father and made them hopelessly addicted to cigarettes.It is not easy to quit smoking, but things may become easier of smokers realize th at smoking is s form of self-battering that also batters those who must sit by, and if we can really make “every ho me a smoke-free zone.”UNIT 4WORD1)Smart and hardworking,Germen seemed destined for a successful career ahead.2)At 31,Peggy feels trap in the boring job of an office secretary and she has a yearning to escape.3)Yesterday a storm blasted the Florida coast with 75 m.p.h.winds and left two tourists missing.4)The couple hardly ever reach an agreement---their conversations often erupt into quarrels and shouting.5)The ballet company's new performance successfully blended tradition and creative innovation,which won great admiration from critics.6)Repeated exam failures had eroded her confidence and exerted an influence onher---she started to skip classes more often.7)Ever since our secretary resigned,our office has been in a state of total chaos.8)Parents are usually inclined to impose their own moral values on theirchildren,which might bring on rebellion from teenagers.9)Some fathers are jealous of the attention a newborn baby receives from its mother,even if they won't admit it.10)I have this strong yearning for open spaces from havinglived in a crowed city for too many years.EXPRESSION1)The result of the survey is quite alarming---half the marriages in this country end in divorce.2)Being addicted to betting on horses,he had gambled away most of his inheritance by the time he was thirty.3)We cooked too much for lunch and had to take what was left over for supper.4)Many companies are now suffering from a chronic shortage of funds brought on in recent years by the financial crisis.5)She didn't quarrel with her husband when she found out about his infidelity,but her annoyance showed itself in her look.6)Inflation nibbles away at people's savings and reduces their value considerably.7)To show my affection for the little girl,I bent down and tried to kiss her on the forehead,but she pulled away in time,which made me rather embarrassed.8)As the advancing soldiers closed in on the town,people started running into the underground shelters for safety.CLOZEThe causes for marital despair are varied.Some marriages fail because of the outside weather:pressures such as job loss,illness,care of aging parents and all the other plagues of life may harshly hit marriage.Some other marriages fail because of a changed inner climate.At the tender beginnings of romance,each of us selects with unconscious accuracy a mate who will recreate with us the emotional patterns of our first homes,a mate who will help us rediscover both the psychological happiness and miseries of our past lives.And all marriages rely on the basic myth ofmeaning everything to each other,of merging together and solving all of life'sproblems.Yet,realities of life erode the visions of marital bliss.Now many marriages fall apart because those in the commitment are unwilling to exercise theself-discipline that marriage requires.Besides,an essential element for a good marriage,i.e.,communication between partners,is often missing.TRANSLATIONMarriage has always been difficult. Why has it become so hard for couples to sta y together in today’s societ y?On the one hand, our modern social fabric is thin, and the permissiveness of soci ety has created unrealistic expectations and thrown the family into chaos. On the other hand, marriage requires sexual, financial and emotional discipline, but people today a re unwilling to exercise the self-discipline that marriage requires. Besides, couples tod ay must also deal with all the cultural changes brought on in recent years by the wome n’s movement and sexual revolution. These and other realities of life erode the visions of marital bliss. If we lack adaptability, flexibility, genuine love and kindness, and an imagination strong enough to feel what the other is feeling, if we cannot bring difficu lties out into the open, then marriage may come to the end of the road.Of course, divorce id not an evil act. For some people, it provides salvation and it can be a step toward a good life. However, marriages that do not fail but improve, tha t persist despite imperfections, offer a wondrous shelter for our mutual humanity.UNIT 5WORD1)The police are constantly searching for new ways of steering young people away from criminal activities.2)The audience were thrown into a panic after a bomb exploded in the theatre.3)He explained later that he had refrained from commenting on hisopponents'anti-constitutional claims in order to avoid open confrontation at the meeting.4)Corporate executives should not be given the right to intrude into employees'private lives by monitoring their phone calls.5)To protect intellectual property rights,the governments is making a great effort to unify the KTV system in karaoke bars.6)As the factory is faced with the danger of being shut down,many workers are suffering from an inner sense of desperation.7)It is totally nonsense to assert that smoking can help prevent bird flu or swine flu.8)The bus was already full up but the old lady managed to squeeze in.9)Using too many pieces of electrical equipment at once may overload the circuit and cause power cut or fire.10)Despite all the treatment he has had over the past few months,Ashby is still suffering from skin rashes and recurring respiratory problems.EXPRESSION1)As I was shopping one day,a girl mistook me for the well-known actor Jackie Chan and asked for my autograph.2)The box has been left unattended in the cellar for years,andit came apart as we tried to lift it up.3)The government promised to the public that they shall keep close watch on the latest developments in relation to the disease.4)I can put up with your room being cluttered with paintings and prints,but I hate it if it's not clean.5)To prepare food for the elderly,make sure to cut out the fat and bone before you cook the meat.6)The pain of losing his only daughter still sweeps over him in waves though it has been two years since the traffic accident occurred.7)The people who got hurt in the collision were rushed to the only hospital in the vicinity of the scene of the accident.8)Detectives were searching the scene of the crime closely,being careful enough not to leave any details out.9)For some days he had been mulling over the new plan,trying to come up with something more constructive.10)According to the latest survey,only 5% of American adults engage in regular annual physical check-ups,which health scientists consider quite worrying.11)All of your achievements for the week should be gathered up in a ten-minute talk with the manager every Friday.12)Of the 88 locomotives on this railroad line,35 are out of commission,either awaiting repairs or being replaced.CLOZEWhen your mind is out of commission,desperation writing can help you write something usable.The first thing is to admit your condition:for some reason,your mind is incapable of considering anything in relation to anything else though it can put a simple feeling or perception into understandablewords.Then try to write as much as possible.Don't refrain from writing about whatever that is on your mind.When you feel you have enough of it,read over what you wrote and every time you come to anything that could be squeezed into one sentence or one assertion,write it by itself on a little slip of paper.After you have done this,play solitaire with those littleslips,shifting them around and looking through in various sequences and getting them to distribute themselves in different piles.Often at this point,your sanity begins to return.And then you can finally come up with something workable. TRANSLATION Do you have this lingering doubt that you won’t be able to write something when you need to? Do you feel it’s like a constant fog or static that clouds the mind and yo u can never get out of its clutches?As a matter of fact, it is possible to write something ---- not something great or pleasing but at least something usable, workable ---- when your mind is out of commission.The trick is to do all your cooking out on the table because your mind is incapable of doing any inside.Try simply to steer your mind in the direction or general vicinity of the thing you are trying to write about and start writing and keep writing. Be as loose, drifting, quirky and jerky as pos sible when you write. Don’t think about what you are writing or what you have written or else you will overload the circuit again.Then take some little pieces of paper and simply read over from the beginning of what you wrote, and see if you can gather up something useful into one sentence and write it by itself on a little sheet of paper. Then, read through the little slips of paper a number of times and build a relationship among them until they get into different piles. At this point, you find you can finallybegin to think, and that lab report which has been occupying your mind is no longer unreachable.。

新世纪大学英语综合教程2作文答案
新世纪大学英语综合教程2作文答案Unit 1 p271) In my middle school years, I had a best friend. We talked about everything. And we loved singing songs together. Once, however, there was a bitter quarrel between us and we stopped talking to each other. It was obvious that both of us wanted to keep the friendship, but neither had the courage to break the ice. It went on like this for months. Then, one day we were asked to write about friendship. I wrote in my composition what friendship meant to me and the misunderstanding that had separated us. It was given the top mark, and I was asked to read it in class. When I ended my presentation with the words from our favourite song, my friend was singing along. All misunderstanding was cleared and once again we were best friends. To break down the walls between people is easy; all it takes is a little forgiveness! (150 words)2) We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold security bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go out of our way to help them; we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of insecurity fill the environment we live in. All this greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated and care about ourselves only. If things go on like this, “trust”, “teamwork”, and “harmony” will eventually become terms unheard of. In my opinion, trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human relationships. We may not be in a position to change others, but we can change the way others see us by winning their trust in us. Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society. (151 words) </font>Unit 2 p591)Today, many college students are from single-child families. Growing up in suchenvironments, they tend to take for granted what they have. Some even develop bad habits and character flaws such as self-will, lack of responsibility and selfishness. In my opinion, taking a listless attitude toward life is extremely harmful to them. With such a negative attitude, they fail to appreciate the advantages they enjoy. They waste away their precious time, seeking pleasure in running after pop stars or indulging in computer games. In the end, they may have to leave college without having acquired any useful skills or knowledge. Sometimes I think it is good for us to think more of the young people who are still struggling for their lives and education. Such an attitude would certainly impel us to cherish more our college life. And life would be more meaningful if we treat it with a gentleness, a vigor and keenness of appreciation.(155 words)2)Being admitted to college was an important turning point in my life. I would neverhave been able to make it without the help and support of my parents, teachers and classmates. Throughout the time I was preparing for the entrance examination my parents were always there to back me up. They allowed me to make my own decisions about which major I wanted to pursue. What’s more, they had full confidence in me. I was lucky enough to have had fine teachers and kind classmates.My teachers were patient and competent to explain the problems I did not understand;my classmates helped me and encouraged me all the time. We shared our hopes and anxieties to gether. That was a memorable time in my life! I didn’t achieve everything alone. I owe a lot to those who have helped me to get where I am. （147 words）Unit 3 p941) Li Hui, my friend in high school, was born into a worker's family. She began to dreamof becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood. To her disappointment, her parents strongly opposed her career choice, because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family, and they were worried about the job opportunities for a cartoon artist. However, Li Hui would not change her mind. She worked hard to perfect her skills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream. Just before she finished high school, the chance came: a famous art school was holding a cartoon drawing competition. The first three winners would be given a scholarship to study cartoon drawing at the school. Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through her fingers. She readily participated and won the second place. She is now studying there and I feel certain that her dream will come true. (156 words)2) In my opinion, before a person becomes successful, he or she should fully understand the basic elements of success: competence, determination and optimism. For a person to succeed, he or she has to face great competition and excel in his or her chosen career. The person needs to demonstrate and prove his or her competence in dealing with problems. Without competence, the person can neither stand out among the crowd nor attract the attention of those who hold the keys to the doors of opportunity and advancement. Y et ability alone cannot guarantee success. Often enough, things do not go the way we have planned and failure is unavoidable no matter how intelligent or capable we may be. In such cases one needs to remain firm and optimistic, always believing that hard work will eventually pay off. If the person gives up halfway, success will never knock at the door. (149 words) </font>Unit 4 p1251) Dear Weihua, I know you are still feeling upset about your results in the college entrance examination. I've just read an article about how pessimistic and optimisticthoughts can affect our behaviour and I'm now sending you a copy, hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows.• Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell on the past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what is more important for now and the future. Life is full of trials and anyone may suffer setbacks. We must take an optimistic attitude towards the things we have to deal with. Optimism and positive thinking are powerful forces. Good things do come true if we picture them often. Please do have confidence in your potential. Just work hard and prepare for another chance. Y ou will make it. •Y ours,• Janet• (152 words)2) Thinking positively means allowing your mind to be filled with optimistic feelings, and always hoping for the best though still aware of the difficulties that might be involved. The human mind is powerful; thoughts of optimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Though it mightseem impossible to some, positive thinking and success actually have a cause-and-result relationship. The reason is that a person with positive thinking will always broadcast goodwill and confidence and that kind of radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody. Gradually, people’s attitude will shift towards more trust and respect. This not only opens up more opportunities for the individual, but it also feeds back emotionally, and the cycle continues. Though the shaping of a positive or negative personality often happens subconsciously, it is possible to control such processes consciously. A person can try visualizing favourable situations, whether it is remembering a contest won as a child or imagining getting that job offer so long sought after. Over time circumstances will change accordingly. （169 words）Test1 p128My View on Opportunity Different people have different views on opportunity. Somehold that there are not enough opportunities because there are far too many people. Y et others believe that there are opportunities everywhere. They say that opportunity favors the prepared mind. I agree with the latter. It is true that there is really intense competition for limited opportunities, but one can always create opportunities. Actually, most opportunities are created by people themselves. For example, when people lose their jobs, some will wait in vain and complain about the lack of opportunities, while others choose to set about creating opportunities for themselves and taking responsibility for their own lives. They become self-employed and may even lead a better life eventually. Therefore, to some extent, our destiny is in our own hands. (130 words)Unit5 p1751) A widespread belief in modern society is that with talent, personal effort and luck alone a person can succeed, regardless of character. However, history has proven over and over again that the morally defective cannot be truly successful, even if they at times enjoy some temporary glory. A typical example is found in the story of four brilliant Cambridge students. They were all talented and eventually worked their way up to very important positions in the British government, with one even ending up working in Buckingham Palace. During and after World War II, however, they betrayed their country by giving away national secrets to the Soviet Union, which damaged the interests of Britain in many ways. Eventually what they had done was uncovered. Three of them fled the country and ended up in exile; the fourth lost his knighthood in disgrace. “Intelligent” and “successful” as they once were, they are now remembered as traitors to their country. (157 words)2) As modern society advances, we are growing more suspicious of each other. This is clearly reflected in our reaction to advertisements. Instead of seeing advertisements as asource of reliable information, we tend to doubt the truth they claim and always assume that the producers are trying to trick customers into buying their products. One of the most serious consequences of such absence of mutual trust is the constant doubt and anxiety within our own minds. If we see everyone else as a potential enemy, we can no longer make new friends; if we regard all information passed on to us as lies, how can we make use of such sources effectively? Mutual trust is the glue that holds human society together. As students, we should try to foster mutual trust and help build up a moral society by our own deeds. If we are honest to others and foster mutual trust, we shall soon see the difference. (158 words)Unit6 p2091) A Creative Person My physics professor is a very creative person. His research project for his doctoral dissertation dealt with a very complicated physics problem at a time when many others thought it was impossible to solve it. But he creatively introduced a new concept and finally resolved the theoretical and experimental contradiction. He possesses many unique traits. He is very energetic and hard-working. He chairs the Physics Department and teaches many hours a week. Meanwhile, he is in charge of the university’s technology research. Obviously he is a efficient worker. My professor can be eccentric, once he shocked the whole class by saying “Good physics, everyone” instead of “Good morning, everyone”. But above all, my professor has a sincere interest and a strong passion in his research field. No wonder he is highly respected by both his colleagues and his students. (140 words)2) Popular Say ings May Become “Mental Locks” To cultivate a creative mind, one needs to chip away at one’s “mental locks”. Some of the “mental locks” are shaped by popular sayings, which sound so familiar to us that we tend to take them for granted.Instructive as they may be, these common statements may restrict our freedom to think. “Look before you leap!” We make this remark to caution someone to think carefully before making a decision or taking an action. It may seem sound advice, but it may also put him or her in a passive position. He or she may just keep “looking” round and without making a “leap”. Similarly, we may say to the same person, “Don’t let the chance slip through your fingers!” Then, the person may be motivated to act promptly, regardless of the consequences. In either case, the personal may fall victim to popular sayings. So, if we want to come up with a new idea, we must break up the “mental locks” that close our minds. (166 words)Test2 p272In our society there are some people who employ dishonest means to get what they want. To make more profits, some businessmen sell fake products. To get better scores, some students cheat in exams. But dishonesty does not pay in the long run. Those who sell fake products end up losing customers. Students who practice cheating in exams are cheating themselves. By contrast, honest people gain a clear conscience and also win the trust and respect of others. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a better job. After all, who would want a dishonest employee? By sticking to the principle of honesty, we can help make the world a better place to live in. Honesty is the best policy and it really pays to be honest. (135 words)。

Write an essay in about 100–120 words based on your discussion in Optional Classroom Activities. You can take either of the following titles:1) I like to study on my own2) I like to study in a group2. If you didn’t do Task 3 in Optional Classroom Activities you can write an essay of around 120 words on the following topic.College Is Not an Ivory Tower▆Sample Essays for Task 1:I like to study on my ownMany of my classmates like to study together. However, I always like to study on my own, with good reasons. First, I feel that I can concentrate better when I study alone. When I have to work together with other people, I often get distracted and more often than not, I end up chatting with them without completing the task at hand. Second, when I study on my own, I can work at my own pace, choosing to spend more time on certain difficult sections and less time on less challenging parts. I can also check my class notes or reference books whenever I feel the need to. One final good advantage of studying alone is that unlike group work, self study is not restricted by time and space. In other words, if I feel like studying, I can do so at any time and anywhere. (146 words)I like to study in a groupAccording to a recent study, students who study together by discussing homework and problems usually score higher than those who work on their own. I am happy to hear that because I like to study in a group. I think we can reinforce our understanding of what we have learned in class by asking each other questions. Besides, it is always enjoyable working with someone else. A discussion on questions we don’t understand very well will help clear up any possible confusion. Last but not least, we should not ignore the importance of cooperation in our society. Working with others helps develop our team spirit, which has become essential in this modern world of ours. After all, two heads are always better than one.(125 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:College Is Not an Ivory TowerPeople often say that college is an ivory tower and life on campus is cut off from the harsh realities of the real world. College may have been an ivory tower before, but it is not so any more. We college students are under various kinds of pressure. First of all, most of us are burdened with a heavy tuition fee, which keeps on increasing every year. So some of us have to work over ten hours every week. Life for those who can get financial help from their parents is not easy either, as they very often have to follow their parents’ advice and take a major they don’t like. Finally those who are abo ut to graduate suffer from a different kind of pressure: hunting for a job. It is no longer easy for a college student to get a decently paid job these days.(134 words)。

She scolded me for being selfish (批评我自私自利)and inconsiderate （不会体谅他人）and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on （反思）my own behavior. I couldn’t believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew afraid, I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards.

I find it easy to make new friends and I enjoy the company（陪伴）of people who share similar characteristics as I. When I am at a party, many people including those I do not know, will talk to me. I am not a great beauty, neither am I rich and intelligent. In fact, I am just a very simple person who is happy and smiles a lot. Maybe being happy is the attraction, I like bright colours, especially red. It is said that people who like red are passionate and have a lot of energy. I agree that I am enthusiastic about(对、、、很热衷) many things and like doing many things at he same time. So it seem there is some truth after all in what color says about a person’s personality2)Think of the person you admire most, Write two personality traits that you likemost about this person. Remember to give an example for each personalitytraits.Sample EssayThe person I admire most is my father’s younger brother. He is known to us as ba shu because he is the eighth son in a family of eleven. He is a high achiever(志存高远).Since young, he has done well in his studies and work. For example, he received a prestigious（优等的）scholarship （奖学金）to study at a well-known medical school in England. Today, at the age of 62, he is still as outstanding. He is a well-respected surgeon and has won many awards（获得奖励）. What I like most about ba shu Iis his sensitive nature, especially towards children who are born unlucky. He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to（为、、、、作出牺牲）help those in poor and developing countries. His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impressed me a lot.3）Imagine that you had been given a wish to change your life. Write about two personality traits that you would like to have and give your reasons.Sample EssayIf I were given a wish to have two personality traits, I would choose to be an optimistic and creative person. I would like to be an optimistic person because those who are optimistic are usually satisfied and contented with (对、、、满意)what they have. They seldom let sadness be a part of their life. I want to be happy and being optimistic is one way to remain happy. I also would like to be creative. I think thatcreativity is inherited.Some may disagree and say that we can learn to be creative.However, no matter how hard one learns, it is those born with the talent of creativity who will make a great name for(成就名声) themselves like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.4）Write about a person whom you dislike most and give one or two reasons or example why you dislike him or her so much.Sample EssayThere is no one person I dislike most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate(忍受): aggressiveness( 有攻击性的，很强势的) and selfishness.Aggressive people do not consider others’feelings and will not think twice about hurting even those closest to them. I once had a neighbor who would beat his wife one day and appear loving the next. His wife lived I fear constantly but could do nothing because he was in control of her, another personality trait I dislike is selfishness. Like aggressive people, selfish people only think of themselves. There are many everyday examples of selfishness such as those not willing to lend things to others and those not wanting to share exam tips even with their best friends. If you know someone with a combination of aggressiveness and selfishness you should consider whether to call him or her a friend.Unit 4 Write a short passage of about 100-120 words on the topic:living in a Nursing Home : A Plan for the Future?”.Sample Essay:Thanks to medical advances(医疗进步) and better living conditions, most of us can live longer. The issue of where we will stay when we get to old has become a concern for（成为大家关心的问题）everyone. I did a survey last week on “ Are you willing to go and live in a nursing home when you grow old?”. Of the ten people surveyed, seven said”yes”. According to them, living in a nursing home would enable them to meet people of similar ages, get instant medical care, and have their meals and laundry taken care of. The three who don’t want to stay in a nursing home think living in a nursing home would make them feel lonely and abandoned on the one hand and would have their privacy intruded (侵犯)upon on the other. Nonetheless, the survey does suggest that more people would be willing to live in a nursing home in the future.Unit51) In about 100-120 words, write about an incident of misunderstanding betweenyou and your mother/father. Tell us about how it all started and what happened in the end.Sample essayOne afternoon, I was wandering along（闲逛）the main street of our small town with a friend. Suddenly I saw my mother. She was behaving very strangely. She looked around before going quickly into a shop. When she came out, she had a box in her hand. I was terrified; I knew some of my villagers resorted to（求助于）theft because they were poor.The thought that my mother could be one of them drove me crazy. I was determined to (决心去) find out the truth form her. When I questioned her, tears filled her eyes. She told me she was collecting beer cans from some kind shop owners who offered them to her, but would feel embarrassed if she was seen by others. I cried and hugged her and felt sorry that I had misunderstood my own mother.3)In about 100-120 words, describe the similarities and differences in the way your fatherand mother show their love for you. Be sure to give examples.Sample EssayMy parents differ greatly in showing their love for me. while my mother appears more anxious and depressed if anything goes wrong with me, my father tends to be silent and expresses his concern for me mainly through actions rather than words. I still remember the day when I left home for university. When my mother was in tears and kept giving me endless advice, my father remained silent. But when he saw an ice-cream man on the platform(月台), he rushed towards him and got me an ice-cream just before the train started to move. I learned from my mother later that father locked himself up in his room after returning home and cried for the first time in his life.

You can see pretty seasonal decorations everywhere, Christmas lights, flowers, and pictures of Father Christmas with a smiling face. You may even meet a “real” Father Christmas on the street busy handing our candies to kids. The atmosphere does lift everybody’s spirits, since joy and excitement seem to be contagious（有感染力的）;everyone around us looks happier and is more patient with each other during the festive season.We send each other Christmas greetings and give Christmas gifts to our friends and relatives.Even friends who have not been in constant touch a lso” appear” again at this time to send their regards.2）I don’t like Christmas because today’s Christmas has been entirely commercialized. Shops try all sorts of tricks to attract customers, by putting up fanciful Christmas decorations, by offering seasonal discounts and even by asking somebody to play Father Christmas to give out gifts. Behind all the smiles and the beautiful decoration, I do not care of a spirit of giving. I only see one word, which is “profit”. Everybody does Christmas shopping at this time to get Christmas gifts for their family members or friends. As for me, I believe it is more important to show care and concern for my family members and friends all year round than just give them a “once a year’Christmas gift.。
