剑桥雅思9口语Test4参考答案－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－答案编辑者：上海环球雅思名师李宁（英国剑桥国际考试委员会IGCSE & A Level口语考官）Sam(British), Maria(American)微博：环球雅思李宁Part1The examiner asks the candidates about him/herself, his/her home, work or studiesand other familiar topics.EXAMPLEBicyclesHow popular are bicycles in your home town?[why?]Unfortunately, bikes are not very popular in my home town. I think this is a result of a few things. Firstly, my home town is too far away from the other local townsand cities to travel by bicycle so instead people choose to travel by car. Secondly, my hometown is very hilly, and many people are too lazy to cycle around the steephills. Most people are also fairly well off, so they can afford a car. They thinkcars are faster and more convenient, so bicycles are not so common.How often do you ride a bicycle? [ why/ why not?]I ride my bicycle everyday. I ride my bike to work everyday from Monday to Friday,and I like to go on bike trips into the countryside on the weekend. I find cyclinga relaxing way to exercise and stay healthy.Do you think that bicycles are suitable for all ages?[why/ why not?]I do not think cycling on the road is not suitable for all ages. Some y oung children, and even some very old people, are not aware enough to cycle on the road. Similarly, people who have not passed their driving test may not be aware of the rules of theroad, and could cause an accident. I am in full support of introducing a cyclingproficiency exam to improve to standards of cyclists on the road, and to reduceaccidents and fatalities.What are the advantages of a bicycle compared to a car?[why]Cycling is far cleaner for the environment. Admittedly, bicycles are slower thancars, but with so many cars on the road, it is actually sometimes faster to travelby bike than by car, especially at rush hour when there are lots of traffic jams!In London, new 'Cycle Superhighways' have been introduced, where cars cannot go.By allowing cyclists this space, it is often faster to cross the city by bicyclethan by car!PART 2Describe a person who has done a lot of work to help people.You should say:Who this person is/wasWhere this person lives/livedWhat he/she has done to help peopleAnd explain how you know about this person.You will have to talk about this topic for one to two minutes.You have one minute to think about what you are going to say.You can make some notes to help you if you wish.My brother has done more to help other people in his life than anyone else I know.He has good moral standards; if there is an old lady trying to cross the road, hewill always stop to help her. If a pregnant lady is standing up on the bus, he will always offer her his seat. In school, he would always offer to help and explain things to his classmates if they didn't understand.Not only is he kind and thoughtful in everyday life, but on top of this he completed a charity walk from Lands End to John O'Groats, over 1,500 kilometers across Britain.This is a fantastic achievement in itself, but he also managed to raise over ￡1000 for charity!Furthermore, he volunteered every Saturday for a year at a local charity shop, Oxfam, which raises money for people living in poverty. He is an extremely selfless person, who gets the most pleasure in life from helping other people rather than himself.PART 3Discussion topics:Helping other people in the communityExamples questions:What are some of the ways people can help others in the community?which is most important?I think one of the best ways to get involved and help in the community is to volunteerat a local charity. I volunteered at a wildlife conservation trust when I was 15.Everyday in the summer holiday, I would be outside in the woods and the countryside, helping to build eco-friendly footpaths, fences and bridges, so people could enjoy the forest park without damaging the local wildlife and habitats. It was a greatway to stay active, have fun, make friends and help the community.Why do you think some people like to help other people?Helping other people makes you feel good about yourself, especially when they show their thanks and gratitude. You get a sense of pride and fulfilment, knowing thatyou did something worthwhile to help change someone else's life.If more people were generous with their time and helped other people, the world would be a better place.Some people say that people help others in the community more now than they didin the past. Do you agree or disagree?I am not sure, I will have to ask my Dad about that one! He is much older than meso he is in a better position to compare society from 40 years ago to society today! Over the past 20 years, I know the British government has encouraged schools to play a more active role in the community, and to encourage students to take part involunteering and community activities, so I would like to think that there has been a rise in community kindness.Community servicesExample questions:What types of services, such as libraries or health centers, are available to thepeople who live in your area? Do you think there are enough of them?In my hometown, in England, there are lots of libraries and health centres inthe local area that offer a wide range of free services. The libraries have modernised and now offer computer and internet services, as well as ebooks and CD's for loan.These are useful for lots of people, especially poorer people who maybe cannot afford to buy books and CD's, or who don't have access to computers or the internet at home.Which groups of people generally need most support in a community?why?Likewise, lots of government funded community health centres have also openedup to offer support and increase awareness about issues such as sexual health,pregnancy and domestic violence, as well as offer guidance and treatment for diseases such as cancer and AIDS. These are especially useful for young people, who maybehave questions about sex and relationships but are too embarrassed to ask theirparents, or who are worried about older relatives with a terminal illness.Who do you think should pay for the services that are available to the people ina community? Should it be the government or individual people?In the UK, the government pays for all community services such as libraries,hospitals and schools. While I fundamentally agree that governments should offerthese services for free to all its citizens, I also understand that in other countries,this issue can be very complicated. I think everyone needs to sit down together and vote on how to prioritise national budgets and tax levels.感谢阅读，欢迎大家下载使用！。

大学体验英语4口语考试题目及答案
Unit 1 Men and women’s prejudicesPart I Read the following passage aloud.The very language we use to discuss men‟s roles (i.e., deadbeat dads) shows a lack of appreciation for the majority of men who quietly yet proudly fulfill their family responsibilities. We almost never hear the term “working father,” and it is rare that calls for more workplace flexibility are considered to be for men as much as for women. Our society acts as if family obligations are not as important to fathers as they are to mothers —as if career satisfaction is what a man‟s life is all about.Even more insulting is the recent media trend of regarding at-home wives as “status symbols” — like an expensive car — flaunted by the supposedly few men who can afford such a luxury. The implication is that men with at-home wives have it easier than those whose wives work outside the home because they have the “luxury” of a full-time housekeeper. In reality, however, the men who are the sole wage earners for their families suffer a lot of stresses. The loss of a job — or even the threat of that happening — is obviously much more difficult when that job is the sole source of income for a family. By the same token, sole wage earners have less flexibility when it comes to leaving unsatisfying careers because of the loss of income such a job change entails. In addition, many husbands work overtime or second jobs to make more money needed for their families. For these men, it is the family that the job supports that makes it all worthwhile. It is the belief that having a mother at home is important to the children, which makes so many men gladly take on the burden of being a sole wage earner.Part II. TOPIC Men and women’s prejudicesSection One Each of the students will be asked one question on the topic “Men and women‟s prejudices and roles”.1.What‟s the division of labor like in your family?Ans: Thanks for your question. So, my mom and dad shoulder different parts of family work. My dad mainly do the earning kind of work and usually makes the biggest decision of family issues. Meanwhile my mom main keep the house clean and tidy and help me with school education when I was young. And I appreciate my mom‟s years of doing tasty dishes for me, and I appreciate my dad‟s years of offering me the finance for education. Thank you.2.Many people hold the view that men are different from women in many ways. What‟s your opinion about it?Ans: Thanks for your question. So, basically, I do agree that men and women are not exactly the same. Take the division in families as example. My dad mainly do the earning kind of work and usually makes the biggest decision of family issues. Meanwhile my mom main keep the house clean and tidy and help me with school education when I was young.. They do different parts, but they work together to make me have a good family.3.How to be a good father?Ans: Thanks for your question. So, at first, I appreciate my dad‟s years of help to me. I do think he is a good father. No matter how busy he is, he could make it being present at my parenting meeting. Not matter how tired he is ,he could play basketball with me, not to let me alone. Well, I think that‟s a good father-behavior.4.Some people say women are born to be homemakers. Do you agree or disagree? Why?Ans: Thanks for your question. I do agree that women are born to be homemakers. Since almost all of us are brought up directly by mom, and we are fed up by mom when we were little, and we are taught what is one plus one and what is ABC. Those facts, however, tell us that women are born to have a special ability that men can‟t have. They could raise kids and help keep the house more like a home. Thank you.5.Do you think a “househusband” is an easy job?Ans: Thanks for your question. I do not think that househusband is an easy job. Actually, it is hard. Because here in Chinese society, men are usually considered to work outside and to earn the bread for family. Once a man work inside ,to keep the house ,to shoulder the work that women used to do, he would be considered somehow a weirdo. Suffering the spiritual stress is the most hard for a man. That‟s the reason. Thank you.6. In business world, there are more male top managers than female ones. How would you explain this phenomenon? Ans: Thanks for your question. It is quite easy to explain. I have watched a TED class about this. It is not unfair, nor it is strange. Here are two reasons. The first, maybe ,well, the male are born to be a little smarter than women on average, such as the Geography and business. The last, the male can often leave a trustworthy expression and can hold the atmosphere of a meeting easily. Thank you.Section Two Please have a group discussion on the following topic:Topic for Group DiscussionIn today’s China, the boundary between the traditional social roles played by men and those played by women is becoming increasingly blurred. Please identify some driving factors behind this dramatic change.During the discussion you may argue with each other or ask each other questions to clarify a point. Your performance will be judged according to your contributions to the discussion.Ans:Yes,Indeed,we are now going through an amzing and unprecedented moment where the power of dynamics between men and women are shifting very rapidly and in many of the places where it counts the women are ,in fact ,taking control of everything.In my mothe‟s day ,she didn‟t go to college .not a lot of women did ,and now,for every two men who get a colleage degree three women will do the same .Women ,for the first this year became the majority of the American workforce.So the global economy is becoming a place where women are more successful than men ,believe,it or not. The phrase …first born son‟ i s so deeply ingrained in our consciousness, that this statistic alone shocked me ,In American fertility clinics 75%percent of couples are requesting girls and not boys And in places you woundn‟t think such as South Korea ,India and China the very strict patriarchal societies are starting to break down a little and families are no longer strongly preferring first born son.A leader is somebody who can foster creativity ,who can get his get the employees to talk to each otherand get them to be creative and those are all things ,that women do very well .So do child care ,elder care and food preparation.Unit 1 Men and women’s prejudicesPart I Read the following passage aloud.The very language we use to discuss men‟s roles (i.e., deadbeat dads) shows a l ack of appreciation for the majority of men who quietly yet proudly fulfill their family responsibilities.

Statutory damages for infringing on copyright can hit $20 000 per violation, and they can go as high as $100 000 in some circumstances of willful violation —and that‟s above and beyond the fine for actual damages. Furthermore, commercial copyright violation involving more than 10 copies and a value of more than $2 500 is now a felony in the United States.In one recent case, a corporation paid a seven-figure settlement for its unauthorized photocopying of articles from a trade journal and archiving those copies for internal distribution. With similar violations occurring almost daily in corporate America, and with an increase in piracy on the World Wide Web, licensing organizations, performing-rights societies and other copyright cops have stepped up activity to enforce their rights.The Training Media Association, a watchdog for training-video vendors, offers a $10 000 bounty for reporting illegal copying or unauthorized “public performance” of off-the-shelf training videos. A temporary-employment agency recently paid a six-figure out-of-court fee after one of its employees reported it to the TMA for making illegal copies of four videos (the agency had no license to do so) and sending the copies out for use in its 50 offices.Part II. TOPIC CopyrightSection One Each of the students will be asked one question on the topic “Copyright”.1.Is downloading music from the internet ethical? Why or why not?Ans: Thanks for your question. Well, I think downloading music from the internet with pay is ethical, downloading music from the internet without pay is unethical. There are many examples which can support my idea. First of all, the whole society of the U.S. is based on the copyright. Everyone can read acdemic essays on Google, but they have to pay. And here in China we have copyright law to protect the work of intelligence. Music is a kind of work of intelligence, the musicians spend their time and talent to make a piece of music, if we download music for the internet without pay, it‟s a kind unfair f or them. And the brilliant musicians would leave the country because their works aren‟t protected. So, we can down m usic form the internet, but we have to pay. Thank you.2.Do you download anything from the Internet? What kind of things did you usually download?Ans: Thanks for your question. I often download something form the Internet ,because it‟s so convenient. The resourses on the Internet are huge, abundant, and available. There easy to obtain, just with a single click by the mouse and a power searching engine such as Baidu and Google, I can get what I want. Actually ,I often download some academic articles to read because I am carring on a certain subject studying a king of huge sea plants. It helps me a lot. Thank you.3.Have you ever bought a pirated product? Why did you buy it?Ans: Thanks for your question. I do have ever bought a pirated product, and still I am using it. Mabe a Chinese word which is very famous actually, the symbol of China, Shanzhai can replace the word pirated product. I bought a cell phone named Daxian which is very similar to the Sumsung NOTE 3. And as we can see ,the sumsung Note 3 is very expensive, maybe 5000 RMB, but Daxian , the Shanzhai product only cost me about 300RMB, almost 6 percent of the real one. That cell phone I am using is with a big screen 5.3,it‟s large, and because I wanna know how would I feel if I use a big screen cell phone and so I bought it. Thank you.4.Have you ever faced a situation where you violated copyright, if you have, what is the consequence and what did youdo?Ans: Thanks for your question. Well , I do have ever faced a situation, actually many situations. Where I violated copyright. One day , when some book sellers selling their books with very low prices, actually ,I know, the books were fake, but I still bought a book named Da Vinci‟s Code. What is the consequence, the consequence was I got a book, I viola ted copyright without punishement.. And what did I do? I read that book with joy. Thank you.5.What kind of activities are considered as violating copyright?Ans: Thanks for your question. Well, there are so many activities in real world that is unethical. For example, A software,you know, Kuaibo, recently punished by the government ,it offers many new-filmed movies without pay to the makers. Baidu, a very large company, offers many articles to its viewers without pay to the writers. Music-downlaoders ,we download without pay to the music-creaters. I do hope this kind of situation can be improved. Thank you.6.What is the purpose of the copyright law?Ans: Thanks for your question. Well, the purpose of the copyright law is obvious to see, to protect the copyright. But, if we think deeply ,we will find it‟s profound effect to the entire society. It forces everyone to obey the law, not to violate copyright. And therefore, everybody knows that his or her copyright is under protection, once he or she makes a master-piece, he or she would be rich, not to worry about copyright violation. So the entire society would continue to develop with everyone‟s progress. Thank you.Section Two Please have a group discussion on the following topic:Is copyright infringement theft? How should we protect copyright? Give some examples.During the discussion you may argue with each other or ask each other questions to clarify a point. Your performance will be judged according to your contributions to the discussion.Ans: Is copyr ight infringement theft? Yes, obviously it‟s kind of theft. I think the most efficient way to protect copyright is to punish. For example, A software, you know, Kuaibo, recently punished by the government ,it offers many new-filmed movies without pay to the makers. Baidu, a very large company, offers many articles to its viewers without pay to the writers. Music-downlaoders ,we download without pay to the music-creaters. I do hope this kind of situation can be improved. Thank you. If once they were punished, others won‟t do it anymore. The other way which I think is also efficient is the education. We educate our children not to violate other‟s copyright or make the school set up some courses to educate the children and test them until they the how important the copyright is and how hard the punishment would be if they commit copyright infringement.Unit 4 Language and EconomyPart I Read the following passage aloud.As for medical schools, the main requirement for admission is only thirty-two hours of science courses. This requirement is certainly no impediment to a major in English. Moreover many medical schools require a minimum score on the Medical College Admission Test (M.C.A.T.), another test which offers an advantage to the well-rounded liberal arts student.The M.C.A.T. evaluates four areas of competence: skill with synonyms, antonyms, and word association; knowledge of basic mathematics from fractions through solid geometry; general knowledge of literature, philosophy, psychology, music, art, and the social sciences; and familiarity with those fundamentals of biology, chemistry, and physics taught in high school and in introductory college courses.The English major with a solid, basic grounding in science is well prepared for this test and for medical school, where his or her skills in reading, analysis, interpretation, and precise communication will equip him or her to excel. The study and practice of medicine can only benefit from the insights into human behavior provided by the study of literature.Such insights are obviously also valuable to the student who plans a career in commerce. Such students should consider the advantages of an English major with an emphasis in business: this program is designed to provide a liberal education, as well as to direct preparation for a business career. The need for such a program is clear: graduates with merely technical qualifications are finding jobs in business, but often failing to hold them. Both the Wall Street Journal and the Journal of College Placement have reported that increasing numbers of graduates from reputable business schools find themselves drifting from one job or firm to another, unable to hold a position for longer than twelve months.Part II. TOPIC Language and EconomySection One Each of the students will be asked one question on the topic “Language and Economy”.1.Do you think English is very important to you? In what way?Ans: Thanks for your question. Well, I do think English is very important to me. And I can explain its importance in three ways. First of all, English is always a kind of course in primary school, middle school, high school and university. Finish the English courses or I can’t graduate. Besides, I have to pass the CET-4, and CET-6, so that I can prove my English ability and the company would hire me. Most importantly, I major in aquaculture, and only when my English become good enough ,I can read the English academic articles. I can study abroad, I can communicate with the foreign scientists and acquire their ideas to promote Chinese aquaculture. Thank you.2.How popular is English?Ans: Thanks for your question.The world has a new mania, a mania for learning English. Listen as Chinese students practice their English by screaming it. How many people are trying to learn English worldwide? Tow billion of them. In Latin America, in india, in Southeast Asia, and most of all in China. If you are a Chinese student, you start learning English in the third grade, by law. That’s why this year, China will become the world’s larg estEnglish-speaking country. So ,that’s the evidence that English is so popular.3.In what ways will English help you surf on the Internet, or can you tell us the importance of English on theInternet?Ans: Thanks for your question. English is very important on the Internet. Without English, there would be no internet because if we know internet a little more, we would know that the resource code of it is made by English. So English is the base of the Internet. And English is much more important for my personal use on Internet. I often search for some information on Wikipedia, English version to get the support for my English class. Without it, many of my work can’t be finished. Thank you.4.Now more and more foreign people start to learn Chinese. Why is Chinese learning getting popular these days?Can you think of the possible reasons?Ans: Thanks for your question. Well, yes, I do have some reasons that can explain these phenomenon. As we can see, china is getting stronger and stronger these days, the market in China is getting larger and larger. With the investment coming for businessmen in many fields, their employers come with the investment. So ,to make a good trade with China, they have to learn Chinese. And here is another possible reason. With the opening process of China getting faster, the beautiful senic spots attract foregners’ eyes, they come and visit the places, in order to communicate well and know more about the local culture ,they would learn about Chinese. Thank you.5.Which language may be used as the lingua franca in the 21st century, English or Chinese? Why?Ans: Thanks for your question. Well, I do love Chinese, but of course it’s English. Lingua franca, in other words, international language. Although there are 1 billion people who speak Chinese as their mother language but only China one country take Chinese as its official language, as we all know , there are 40 countries which take English as their official language. And still, the US is the most powerful country worldwide, China wont’ get strong as the US in 100 years. So , English is still the international language. Thank you.6.Do you think English major graduates have better chances to secure careers in English--speaking countries? Ans: Thanks for your question. Well , I do not think English major graduates have better chances to secure careers in English-speaking countries than us. Actually, they have fewer chances. In fact, their career is English, they don’t have other professions, but we have. It is rare to see that A job in English-speaking countries requires only the ability to speak English. If we can speak English as good as they are, then we have better chances to secure careers, because we can do they do, we can also do what they can’t do. Thank you.Section Two Please have a group discussion on the following topic:Is it necessary for everyone to speak English? How should we learn English？During the discussion you may argue with each other or ask each other questions to clarify a point. Your performance will be judged according to your contributions to the discussion.Ans: At the very beginning ,we should be clear about the question , is it necessary for everyone to speak English? In what place? In English-speaking countries? I think we are talking about the necessity to speak English in China. I dobelieve that it’s not necessary for everyone to speak English here in China, we just speak Putonghua. (we are not everyone , we are somebody) Tell me your point. I think we everyone should know a little about English, the need for normal life. For example, the W.C, if we don’t know the meaning , it would be quite interesting.How should we learn English? For us fishery college students, it’s quite necessary to learn English well, especially the speaking and reading ability because most of the best technology come from developed countries. What do you usually do to learn English, tell us some approaches you use in your life. For me , it’s quite easy, because I always focus on the ability to speak, not to read or something. So , the best tool for me to learn English is the Open Class form Wangyi, a small Application, its’ very convenient, we can use it on our cell phones, pads, and personal computers. The TED class, I think, is of great help. It tells me some knowledge I’ve never hear d about, If I find it interesting and helpful, I would put it down and listen everyday and recite everyday until I repeat it well. May be that’s how I learn English. Reciting words is a kind of way that we all need to take, it’s no use to talk about it mor e. Thank you.Unit 5 Business EthicsPart I Read the following passage aloud.It’s a message that says: you can’t just blame the system for the bad things you’ve done. Yet to the world’s dismay, thousands of men and women entrusted with our economic well being systematically failed to meet this minimum standard of civilized behavior. They did not capably discern right and wrong. They either did not judge, or they did not act on their judgment. This failure defines the raw heart of the public’s outrage at each fresh disclosure of outlandish bonuses. It is less a thirst for revenge than it is a rebellion against this banal evil.The public’s indignation reflects a sense of morality that points deeper and truer than the laws devised to protect self-serving business practices. The call now is to take back our community, to return to a place where people are capable of telling right from wrong because they recognize themselves in one another. The public demands — no, commands — that our leaders reassert their capacity, their duty, to judge what is right, even if that means standing up to lawsuits and angry bankers.By now the existential security of millions of people has been threatened or destroyed. No one is safe from the waves of value destruction set into motion by the banal evil of this self-centered business model and the unquestioning participants who failed to assert their own moral judgment. The urgent lesson for capitalism’s heirs redounds through every headline: There is no “other;” there is only us. The damage that was supposed to be “theirs” is now shared misery on a global scale.The economic crisis has demonstrated that the mounting evidence of fraud, conflicts of interests, indifference to suffering, repudiation of responsibility, and systemic absence of individual moral judgment produced an administrative economic massacre of such a proportion that it constitutes an economic crime against humanity.Part II. TOPIC Business EthicsSection One Each of the students will be asked one question on the topic “Business Ethics”.1.Have you or your friend ever been cheated by a manufacturer? Describe your experience to your partner. Ans: Thanks for your question. Well ,I do have ever once been cheated a manufacturer, and on that product, it says “made in China.” Of course I was not cheated by the Chinese government, but those bad manufacturers leave others a bad expression that china is a country full of fake goods. That day I bought a pad, of course, not ipad, some unknown pad made by Colorfly, it’s a small company aiming to make cheap pad. Yes, cheap and cheated. Only after one month, the hole used to charge is broken naturally, and the expert tells me that they often break down because of bad, cheap special industrial paste to put the main board and the electricity models together. I do hope these phenomenon can be improved. Thank you.。

大学英语4口语答案
2012—2013学年第二学期大学英语（四）期末口语考试答案1. What makes you happy? Are you happy when others are happy? Give examples to illustrate the second question.The greatest pleasures seem to come from hard-won achievements. For example, if after a lot of hard work, you passed an important examination, finished a big project, or got a promotion, you would feel incredibly happy.Human happiness is not limited to one’s good fortune or success. If you help someone in need, you’ll probably feel wonderful. This accounts for the success of Project Hope, through which people volunteer time and donate money to help people in need.2. How can one strike a balance between low costs and high fashion in clothes？People who don’t have much money can also make themselves look fashionable. There are many ways to buy fashionable clothes without spending much money. For example, people can buy clothes that are on sale or sold in discount stores. It’s smart to buy winter clothes at the end of the winter. Clothes are cheaper at the end of a season and can be stored until the next season. Some people are good tailors, and they can alter their clothes to make them fashionable. They may even create original styles.3. What damage could an earthquake cause and what can human beings do to deal with it?An earthquake damages poorly-built structures. A powerful earthquake can destroy even well-constructed buildings. When the buildings fall down, human lives and property are ruined. Aftershocks may cause additional casualties. A heavy death toll, if not dealt with promptly, may be followed by an epidemic.It is difficult to predict earthquake, so we can only take preventive measures. For example, in an area prone to earthquake, we should construct strong, quake-proof buildings. We should also prepare emergency kits that include a torch, first-aid medicines and bandages. We should move out of dangerous quake zones. When an earthquake strikes while we are in a building, we should move outside. If there is no time to leave, we can hide under a strong table or bad to avoid being hurt by failing objects. Don’t forget to turn off the electricity and gas to avoid accidents.4. Some bosses employ and promote only relatives or those who come from their hometown. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this hiring practice.Hiring people he is familiar with does offer the boss advantages .those people are usually willing to work hard and are loyal to the boss ,who often entrusts them with such important responsibilities as being a financial mangers or human resources manger.However, the disadvantages inherent in a family business outweigh the advantages. To begin with it is not always easy to find a relative who can take up a highly technical position such as software development engineer or an in-house lawyer. perhaps none of the boss's relatives is even a competent electrician .then, too, there are problems if the boss's sister-in-law is chief financial officer .a top-notch accounting graduate will quickly realize her chances of promotion are slim and will work for anther company .worse still, if relatives turn against the boss, they may be able to dealhim a deadly blow since they often know many company secrets.5. After finishing undergraduate studies, would you like to find a job or pursue a postgraduate degree? Why?Some students prefer to look for a favorable job, through which they can gain useful experience that they can’t get from books. When they move on to a higher level job one day, then, they will already have experience in that field. At work, they can give full play to their practical abilities, and may be promoted to department manager by the time their classmates complete their Master’s degree programs.On the other hand, some students are not eager to take up a job and prefer to continue to study towards a Master’s degree or even a PHD. And as we all know, knowledge is power. Although not everything you learn will be directly applicable at work, knowledge does improve your character overall. In the long run, those who acquire more knowledge will benefit from it.6. What is the relationship between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate? Does the former determine the latter or is it the other way round?Since the world is complex and mysterious, it is not easy to arrive at a definite conclusion. Some scholars, including a British psychologist, suggest that there exists a correlation between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate. But more research is needed before we can be sure of such a correlation. Moreover, the cause-and-effect relationship has not been clearly identified, and we are uncertain which causes which. In real life we can find counter examples: some optimistic people aren’t very lucky, while some pessimistic people are quite lucky. Perhaps we should try to find out which case is more frequent: optimistic people with good luck or optimistic people with bad luck. Judging from my personal observations, the former is more common. I can even supply the reason: optimistic people have more self-confidence, which facilitates their success in life. A survey involving many people is required to discover what most people think about this issue.7. What do you think about the computer and the Internet as sources of entertainment?With the advent of the computer and the Internet, we can play all kinds of games in the virtual world; we can play chess and cards with people we have never met, even a chess master. We can travel to all parts of the world on the Net. We can send and Moreover, we can make use of the Net as a way of learning.But we should be careful not to get too much of a good thing. If we sit in front of a computer all day long, there will be many negative effects. Our eyes may get cause disease. Too much sedentary work is bad for our health. We may because physically week and develop a weight problem. Worse still, if we get addicted to the computer, we may neglect human relationships and communication between one another. In the end we would rather talk to a computer than to a human.8. Should genetically foods be sold? Why or Why not?Some people do not like GM crops and food for various reasons. If transgenic crops are planted in a field, they may overrun it and eliminate other crops, for they are especially powerful. Some genetically altered plants and animals can be abnormally large, and people cannot be sure that they will not be harmed from eating such foods. Moreover, we don't know whether abnormal geneswill be passed on to the next generation. No wonder some people demand that GM food be labeled.But on the whole people are increasingly accepting GM food. Since we have not solved the problem of hunger in the world, GM food should be introduced to us. As the world population continues to expand, perhaps we have to depend more on GM crops in the future. So far, people eating GM food look just as healthy as those who do not, but scientists should monitor any possible dangers to health.9. What are the similarities and differences between Hitler’s offensive against the Soviet Union and Napoleon’s campaign against Russian?The similarity of the two wars is that both Hitler’s offensive against the Soviet Union and Napoleon’s campaign against Russian failed because of the severity of Russian winter. The differences are as follows. Firstly, their tactics are different. Napoleon’s campaign against Russian focused to capture Moscow, the capital city. But, Hitler’s offensive against the Soviet Uni on divided forces into three parts. They separately captured Moscow, Ukraine and Leningrad. Another difference is that Napoleon directly restricted after a frustration, however, Hitler counter attacked for many times. Lastly, Napoleon’s campaign against Ru ssian was the imperialist war between empires, and there was no justice and injustice. But Hitler’s offensive against the Soviet Union is totally injustice.10. If you were asked to help design a smart car, what would it be like?Firstly, smart cars can see, hear, feel, smell, talk and act. Secondly, they can eliminate most of car accidents. A smart car can sense if a driver is drunk via electronic sensors that can pick up alcohol vapor in the air, and refuse to start up the engine. The car could also alert the police and provide its precise location if it is stolen. And they can also monitor one's driving and the driving conditions nearby. Small radars hidden in the bumpers can scan for nearby cars. Should you make a serious driving mistake, the computer would sound an immediate warning. In addition, they can alert the driver who feels drowsy. At last, a smart car can locate your car precisely at any moment and warn of traffic jams.11. What would you do before a job interview when you are ready to graduate?It is not easy to prepare for a job interview. When I am ready to graduate, I’ll do the following things. First of all, I will have a full list of the process in my mind. According to the list, I can figure out what I need to prepare and what the problems and situation I’m likely to come across in the interview. Secondly, I can ask the predecessors in the same major or my friends, teachers for advice. Besides, I have to prepare a formal suit to show my respect. At last, I will recheck the information I’ve gotten and apply the principles and tips into my resume before I send it to the company. With the adequate preparations, I believe that I can get the offer successfully.12. Some differences between Chinese and American Culture.Firstly, the history of these two kinds of culture is different. The history of China can be dated back to 5,000 years ago. So the Chinese culture is long-standing and well-established. But the history of America is much shorter. Secondly，the manners are different between Chinese and American culture. For example, it is impolite to keep silence when you eat meal in an American family, but itis a ceremony at Chinese table. Thirdly, eating habits are different, too. There are various kinds of food in China, such as Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine. However, American food is monotonous. We usually see American eat fast food like KFC. There are certainly many differences between Chinese and American culture, but we should respect each other to get along well.13. Do you think there is some truth in the saying, “You can’t judge a book by looking at its cover”? Explain.From the perspective of me, this saying means that it is not wise to judge things and people just by appearance. It is no easy job to judge people, for they are not always what they appear to be. A person can be kind and gentle judging from his appearance, but cold-blooded inside. Edward Burton, a wealthy merchant, appeared as if he could not bear to heart a fly. As it turned out, however, Edward Burton was hardhearted enough to send his friend, Lenny Burton, to certain death.14. Has technology made our lives easier or more burdensome? Give examples to illustrate your view.As far as I’m concerned, technology did make our lives easier. For example, you can not buy things without going out in the past. But now, we can do shopping online, which is convenient. Besides, with the development of medical field, we can cure disease better than before and live longer. But there are also problems, because modern technology accelerated the pace of life, which keeps people under more pressure. In a word, we should attach importance to the advantages of technology but avoid its disadvantages.15. Today terrorism is a serious world problem. Do you have any suggestions for coping with it?How to deal with terrorism? Firstly, I think the various countries should strengthen cooperation with each other, putting an end to the root causes of terrorism. Secondly, to fight against terrorism, the State should enhance people’s safety education and s trengthen people’s safety awareness. Thirdly, it should also strengthen security precautions. In short, terrorism is a long and arduous task. Counter-terrorism efforts should be gradual. Otherwise, it will be counter-productive.16. If you have both time and money, what places would you like to visit most? Why?If I have both time and money, I would like to visit France. France lies in the Atlantic as well as the Mediterranean regions of Europe and hence has a drastically diverse climate. The country has a rich history and cultural heritage, drawing in an estimated 70 million tourists a year and it ranks as the number one tourist destination. There are many places of interest in France. Paris, with its romantic landscapes and world famous monuments like the Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower offers the new-comer a truly magical experience with the food, language, art and culture only enhancing the pleasure of the senses.。

These dreams may be things we want to accomplish, places we want to go, or feats we must attempt. Whatever they are, dreams give us a purpose in life and a meaning to live, and allow us to fight for what we believe in. however, we should not let our dreams control our life and become a slave to them. In fact there are other things we should work for apart from our own dreams, such as our family and our friends. So don’t be afraid to let go our dreams if we have to.The second quote tells us that we should always strive to attain our dreams in life. Dreams push us to move forward, to struggle, to strive all the time. Without dreams, life is a life without hope; without dreams, we are as lost as a bird which has lost the gift of flight. Sofollow our dreams and let our ambition fuel us to surpass our limits. Never quit and always think of different ways to win.。
