When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university. Then when eventually I got into the university, my dream wasto ...graduate~~~A:How pathetic! When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic. Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so in order to let it be "fulfilled"? Why do we have to surrender to the so-called "reality"? What IS the reality actually?B：For me ,I think the reality is not real. It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies. Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years. A hundred years ago, "man could not fly" was still regarded as the "reality". Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of us like me get to UK? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.A:Yes, I think that our future is a battle between the reality and ourdreams. And if, unfortunately, Mr. Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all. AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality; people living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality; disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the reality.B: many of us have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Actually, this is not a dream, but a task. Every one of us has to make a living,6、Immigration /EmigrationA：Since we opened our door outside, there are more and more people going to immigrate overseas recently.

Nowadays, more and more people, especially plenty of intellectuals, migrate to some developed countries, such as America, England and Canada. In addition, there are still many people studying and working in foreign countries struggling for “green cards”. There are many reasons accounting for this phenomenon. Among all these factors, pursuing high-quality life plays a critical role.A:I hold the view that most of them migrate to some foreign countries with a view to making their children receive good education there.B:yes,I think so. There are still some people that just want to experience a different culture they like.Do you want to immigration?A: I …m afraid not.T hough I enjoy various cultures all over the world, I won‟t migrate to another country. For one thing, I don‟t like to live far from my friends and relatives. For another, I can‟t bear to speak and listen to a foreign langu age from day to night. In a word, everyone has his right to decide where to live, and everyone‟s choice should be respected.B: Yeah ,Generally speaking, people move out with their dream and hope to make theirdream come true.Some people feel isolated due to communication. some people don't feel happy due to different culture. Some people feel hard to build up family due to different religions. Actually not all people settle down very well, they can not find their own ways. Sum up these reasons, they can not get used to working and life enviroment instantly. But eventually people will work and live by their favourite methods, and then they will settle down.7、Computer ethicsA: Good moring, everyone. Today we plan to discuss about computer ethics.

In the past decades or so, many more people have started using computers and the internet, so these issues have become important.

And prevent us from unconcious harm.B: Yes, we should not do wrong things using our pc or internet, but some things are hard to dicide whether it's wrong. For example, as we use information from the internet, we couldn't tell what is plagiarism and what isn't. Here, i have an example, and do you think it's plagiarism?

And, Xioaming hands the homework which he edited a little to teacher.
