Just as youtake care of your body by eating right and exercising, you can do things to protect your mental health. In fact, eating right can help maintain good mental health. You don't automatically have good mental health just because you don't have mental health illness. You have to work to keep your mind healthy.The food you eat can have a direct effect on your energy level, physical health, and mood. A "healthy diet" is one that has enoughof each essential nutrient, contains many foods from all of the basic food groups, provides the right amount of calories to maintain a healthy weight, and does not have too much fat, sugar, salt, or alcohol.By choosing foods that can give you steady energy, you can help your body stay healthy. This may also help your mind feel good. The same diet doesn't work for every person. In order to find the best foods that are right for you, talk to your health care professional.Some vitamins and minerals may help with the symptoms of depression. Experts are looking into how a lack of some nutrients — including folate, vitamin B12, calcium, iron, selenium, zinc, and omega-3 — may contribute to depression in new mothers. Askyour doctor or another health care professional for more information.2 Transportation and TrafficYou need to travel from your home to a place 40 miles (64 kilometers) away. Compare the different kinds of transportation you could use. Tell which method of travel you would choose. Give specific reasons for yourchoice.If I had to travel 40 miles away from my home I would be considering the following means of transportations: a car, bicycle and bus. Every of this methods of transportation has advantages as well as disadvantages. In this essay I will analyze all of them and present my view in favor of traveling by a car.Traveling by bus brings many benefits. First of all, one does not have to drive. So, I can just relax and enjoy the view from my window. Second of all, it is cheaper. I will not have to buy gasoline or pay for the car insurance. However, traveling by bus has a few disadvantages as well. For example, I will have to follow the bus schedule. Another important aspect, I will not be able to arrange the speed or make a stop when I need to.From the other hand, traveling by bicycle is a great exercise. Secondly, it is pollution free. However, It can take too much time and at the end of my trip I will be tired and exhausted. In addition, I will most likely need a shower and some rest.In contrast, traveling by car brings many advantages. First of all, I can arrange my speed as I want to. If I am in a hurry I will speed up a little. Otherwise, if I am not in a hurry, I can make some stops and enjoy the surroundings or have a lunch in the nearest bar. Second of all, I do not depend on a schedule like with traveling by bus. So, I can start my trip when and where I want to. In addition to those practical benefits, traveling by car is the fastest way. Another important aspect of this if I am traveling with my friends, we can talk, listen to the radio we like and discuss everything we want. A car can give us privacy. Of cause, I will have to pay for gasoline and traveling by car is not as save as traveling by bicycle or bus but I think it can not change my mind.To sum up, I think that I would choose to travel by car. It is more convenient and offers a great amount of advantages.3 Job and CareerDifference Between Job and CareerWhile both a job and a career involve getting up and going to work in the morning, there is a huge difference in the mindset of a person holding a job and the mindset of a person with a career. The differences don’t necessarily come from salary or benefits. They might not even come from the difficulty of the work. The major difference between a job and a career comes from howyou look at your work and how much you like doing your work.Job ‘“ People with a job may plan to hold it for a fixed amount of time or indefinitely. A job is a means to earn money either for schooling, family, travel, etc. Once the need for that income is eliminated, most people are more than happy to quit their job. They may later take up a new job in a similar or different field.Career ‘“ People view their career as a life-long endeavor. While they might not plan to be at the same company, they hope to do the same type of work until they retire. Many career people continue with their career as a consultant or advisor after they officially retire.Summary:1.A job and a career both involve going to work.2.The mindset of a job holder is focused on security and money while the mindset of a career person is focused on innovation and risk-taking.3.Most people see their job as a means to an end while most people see their career as an end in itself.How to Find a Good JobNowadays, more and more university graduates complain that graduation does not equate to employment. They experience great difficulties finding satisfactory jobs. But the saying goes Everything is difficult to begin. In my opinion, before finding a job, they should do some preparations.First, when they are in school, they should make good use of their time and put their heart into their studies. They can hold part-time jobs in their spare time to get some work experience. Second, They should take part in some social activities and provide themselves with special training so that they are more confident and courageous enough to face fairly good jobs or certain positions require.Do those things above, I believe once they go out of the campus, they won’t feel bewildered. However, that’s not all. To find a good job, a good application letter and a job interview which are also important. On the other hand, they can ask for jobs by E-mail, friends and the other ways. In a word, want to find a good job, they should catch every chance and keep learning. At last but not least, more confident more chances.In a word, The more prepared you are, the more likely you are to start well in your career.4 Interpersonal RelationshipThe Importance of Interpersonal RelationshipWith the development of our society, the connection between people becomes inevitable. People need to communicate with others as long as they are in the world. As a result, the interpersonal relationship becomes more and more important.随着社会的发展，人与人之间的沟通变得不可避免。

翻译(1)科学科学是一门知识，是解决工业、农业、战争和医疗方面技术问题的非常有用的工具。
要了解科学在解决个人和国家面临的物质和精神方面可以达到什么广度和深度，就必须了解科学的真正含义是什么。
Science is a kind of knowledge which is a very useful tool in solving the technical problems of industry, agriculture, warfare and medicine. To understand the width and depth to which science can be applied to the material and spiritual problems that confront individuals and nations requires and understanding of what science really is.科学一词来自拉丁语Scire,它的意思是“知道”。
所以，从广义上讲，科学不过是指我们所知道的事情，是人类知识的总和。
但是，把科学定义为人类的全部知识是不切实际的，因为很明显，有各种不同门类的知识。
这些知识根据其获得的方法以及它所适合的经验范围而有所不同。
我们要了解的艺术、文学、法律、宗教和专门技术知识等都不同程度的分属于各种独立的知识财富，与我们通常所说的科学没有什么联系。
The word science comes to us from a latin word, scire, which means “to know”. Then, in a broad sense, science is simply what we know; the total of all human knowledge. But the definition of science as all human knowledge would not be a workable one, for it is obvious that there are different types of knowledge. The kinds differ according to how the knowledge was obtained, and also according to what frame of experience it fits. What we know of the arts, literature, law, religion, and technical know are more or less separate funds of information. They have little to do with what we commonly call science.科学也称为自然科学，以区别于其他知识门类。

1.Please talk about your consuming habits with concrete examples. Do you preferthe old brands or the new ones? And why? And also explain how you usually manage your money.刘:Today we’re going to talk about consuming habits.As consumers,we need to buy many brands of goods.how do you make a choice when you consuming?Do you prefer the old brands or the new ones? And why?王：Compared with the new brands, I prefer to buy some old brands. The main reason is that I have been accustomed to use the products I have been using. In addition, the quality of old brands are reliable.朱：I’m afraid I can’t agree with you. I always choose some new brands instead of old brands. I think the new brands may increase more functions than the old ones. That’s To say ,new brands are better than the old brands in the terms of quality.刘：What you said is reasonable. But I prefer the old brands than the new ones. Then, how do you usually manage your money?王：I usually make a spending plan and budget before buying anything. In addition, I also take accord of each a sum of money. Only by this way can I know all the money where are used and control the cost to achieve the management of money.2Please introduce the educational system in China briefly. Do you think academic excellence will necessarily lead to success in the real life? If not, what else do you need?刘：As we all known ,China has adopted a nine-year compulsory schooling system ,which means all children are required to attend school for at least nine years. Higher education is only for those students who have passed the examination for admission to universities. University education is very important for a person and a country, so most of people think highly of university education.王：Really ,we have to admit, to a large extent, elite education promotes the development of country and person. However, in my perspective, some people misunderstand it , and it makes little or no difference to whether or not he or she is successful in other areas of life. What’s your opinion ,Zhujiahua ?朱：I agree with you. For example, without work-related experience, a higher degree can not realize one’s aspiration. There is no exaggeration in saying that a graduate is still a freshman in society with no-working experience and can not survive in this complicated community.刘：In my perspective, the determining factors in the final success of one’s career is his ability. Only the true ability will lead to the ultimate success and the high degree doesn’t necessarily equal to high ability.王：Yeah, I can’t agree more with you. So academic excellence isn’t equal to success in the real life. We should look at education objectively. Everyone has the power and possibility to achieve success. In a word, we should take a rational and objective attitude about the education system of our country.3What does happiness mean to you? Please explain your understanding of it, and the road to happiness.朱：Moning , teather . Today we will talk about the happiness . Everyone has their own definition of happiness. So, 王，What does happiness mean to you?王：Happiness is what everyone always pursues .A lot of people envy the happiness of others , but ignore the happiness of their own. Some believe what they can’t get or haven’t got is happiness. In my eyes, happiness is just a feeling from heart. Actually, it is always in our side, just not easy to be found. What about you ,刘？刘：You are right ! From my perspective, happiness means every time I go back home calling mom and dad, I can get response .Happiness is when I am in bad mood, my fri ends can give me a big embrace. Happiness is when I am in trouble, someone can tell me go ahead strongly, everything will be all right.朱：Certainly ，both of you are right ! Life is not what other people's thinking, but is your inside feeling. Do you know how to get happiness? Let's discuss this issue. First of all , I think health is the key to happiness. Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life王：Yes.We should try to keep health by doing some exercise every day. Besides, In my opinion , happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress. Thus ,we need to try to enjoy what you have and don’t long for what you can not obtain.刘：Additional,the hope is the way that you pursue in your life. You can not have a dream beyond your reach but you must always have hope and try to make it come true. In sum,you will feel happy if you try to keep these in your mind.朱，王：Yes, certainly!4What’s your understanding of beauty? What do you think of plastic surgery?Would you like to have one? What are the benefits and possible risks of plastic surgery?朱：Moning , teather . Beauty is God-given, but everyone wants to have a perfect face，and the development of science and technology and the change of the ideas created the conditions for plastic surgery. In recent years, more and more people, especially some young girls choose to take plastic surgeries.王，What do you think of plastic surgery?王：In my opinion , I do believe that plastic surgery bring people beauty ,confidenceand benefit for ones who need it. Here I mean the ones who need it. I t just can’t be denied .But at the same time ,there is no doubt that disadvantages can also be found in it .刘：Yes ,you are right! On one hand, plastic surgery costs people a lot. Many people can’t afford the huge charge of it , thus may causing people’s breaking up with their families . At the same time , there is a high risk in plastic surgery. The government figures shows that many people have become the victim of plastic surgery in the past 10 years. They don’t become beautiful as they once dreamed ,but unfortunately, become ugly opposite['ɑpəzət].朱：Wow ，that’s so terrible ! It is not advisable for people to take plastic surgeries. 王：Yes，we can get what we want by improving our inner qualities, such as our personality and ability, and there is no need to endure the pains and economic loss of a plastic surgery.刘：Certainly, the natural beauty plays a more and more important role in our real life. Though , plastic surgery can fix a person's body and improve a person's life, but it can't replace it just like all the other things. Your fortune is in your hand, and just do your best to seize it!5Do you like reading literature? Who is your favorite? Why do you like him/her?May you please introduce one of his/her works to us?朱：Moning , teather . Our topic is my favorite writer. So ，王，do you like reading literature in your sparetime ?王：(海伦凯勒，假如给我三天光明)Do you know the book If I had the power of sight for 3 days? It was written by an American writer. Her name is Helen Keller. Because of illness, she became blind and deaf when she was only 19 months old. Even worse, it was so difficult for her to speak because she couldn’t hear. Luckily, her parents didn’t give up. Soon Helen learnt to explore the world by using her other senses. Before her seventh birthday, a tutor called Anne Sullivan came. With the help of Anne, Helen learnt to smile to life. And then she grew up to become a world-famous writer and public speaker. Later, many books were written about her and lots of plays and films were made about her life. Her unusual story made me moved. And it taught me to be braver and more confident in the life.刘：I want to tell something about a legendary woman named Sanmao. Do you know her? She is my favorite writer. In my eyes, she was a rare extraordinary woman, who had the courage of the explorers, the romance of the travelers and the quality of the artists. Here are some of her works. <Plays hooky for Studies》, 〈Lonely Long-distance race〉, 〈Sob Camel》,《Back》, 《Straw Manpower Records》, 《Delivers You a Horse》Her works deals mainly with her own experiences studying and living abroad. And her stories are always vivid and moving. She herself was just a legend. However, she chose to kill herself with a pair of silk stockings in Taibei in 1991. She didn't give any reasons so a lot of people didn't believe that's a suicide. But for me, I think Sanmaowas a special woman, she had different attitude toward life. Her limited life was much more colorful than others who can live longer. There must be her reasons for her to choose suicide. Anyway that may be a great chance for her to meet her darling Jose again.朱：(徐志摩，再别康桥)I’ve read all kinds of books which are written by many famous writers from all over the world. But I like a Chinese writer best. His name is Xu Zhimo. Xu Zhimo still kept on reading in all his life, because he always believed that “Reading makes a full man, a ready man and an exact man.”In his time, not only Chinese but also people from other countries worshiped Xu Zhimo. His writing was enjoyed by all the people. Everybody thought that Xu’s works were s o nice and great. From his writing, people can understand a lot. I have learnt that if someone wants to be a great person, he must work hard!Now, let’s enjoy one of Xu’s verses:On Leaving Cambridge Again Quietly I leave, Just as I quietly come, I quietly wave, Saying goodbye to the bright clouds of the western sky.6Do you think English is a global language? Why or why not? And please state why you should study English and how to learn it well.朱: Moning , teather . Our topic is English as a global language . As we known, we have learn English for many years. So , 王, do you think English is a global language?王: I think English is a global language. People all over the world use to communicate, and that it is gradually replacing other languages. When people need a common language , they often use English .Think about it . English is often used at tourist information centers, in international hotels, at airports, and international sports events. 刘: Well ,I don’t agree with your opinion .There are about three times as many people who speak Chinese as their first language . And people all over the world may use some English for work or other situations. Nevertheless , this doesn’t mean they are fluent in English . They still use their first language for daily communication. English is not their main language. Exactly , I think it’s safe to say that English is a common language in the world ,which is the dominant language of business, travel, and science .朱: Certainly , what you have stated are indeed very reasonable. Besides, every year about 1 billon people study English , which also support that the English is a global language . Why do so many people learn English , they don’t use them all day ?王: Many people study English for all reasons. For example, someone want to be in international business , someone just think it will be helpfull in the future. In sum , people want and need to learn English because it offers them opportunities.刘: Yeah ! In order to study further knowledge , we----the younger generation ,need to learn it well.And the best way to improve our English is to improve our English skills-listening,speaking, reading ,and writing. Don’t you think so ?朱，王: Yes , obsolutely.7Do you like watching TV? What programs do you like most? Please describe your favorite TV program and then talk about the advantages and disadvantages of watching TV.王: Nowadays, TV is a popular entertainment tool which is favored by all people around the world. With a television connected to some channels such as CCTV, we can easily access available programs that surely matches our own hobbies. So ,朱，what TV programs do you like most ?朱：In terms of my interests, I concern about life of wild animals, and like the beauty of nature in remote places, as well as want to improve my English skills by listening to records spoken in English; therefore, “Discovery” seems to be the most favorite TV program to me. In the first place, usually watching “Discovery” will help us to have wide knowledge about wild nature in all over the place .Besides, “Discovery” deserves to be one of the best TV program for people to improve their English skills, especially listening skills. And how about you ,liushan?Well, News Report is my favourite TV programme. From this programme I learn what is going on in the world. The programme tells me important news of the day about our city, our country and the world. With this News Report availabe at any time of the day, I can get well informed, and can have a lot to talk about with my friends.

研究生英语口语期末考试(1)
Oral TestUnit 1Living a full lifeI think a good job is vital for everyone to live a full life. A good job is not only a source of income for daily necessities; it also brings out one’s potential. If one is good at his job, he can obtain personal satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. It can help him to develop a good interpersonal relationship with his colleagues, which in turn adds to his confidence.A good appearance is essential for a full life. I have read a report about a girl who was extremely ugly. She went through hundreds of job interviews, but no company would give her an offer. As a young adult, she still had to depend on her parents. She had neither self-confidence nor income and she couldn’t pursue her hobby. You can image what a life she was leading. However, she was luckily, because after the news report, some kind people donated money to her for a plastic surgery so now she has a chance to get a decent job.I believe a happy family is the key to live a full life. You may have millions of dollars, and you may have a beautiful big house, but if there is no one to share with you the money and the house, what’s the meaning of life, not to mention a full life? When you are sick, it is your family who take care of you. When you are getting older, it is your family who stay with you.How to cope with sicknessDon’t isolate yourself; try to reach out to others;Stay as physically active as you can.Manage your breathing;Stick with your treatment plan.To change for the betterI think the writer means people change for the better in the sense that theybecome wiser and more tolerant, forgiving, grateful If they had troubled relationship in the past, now they are able to cope with them and bring peace to the relationships. They are more confident so they can handle anything that comes in their way. They can bring pleasure to other people as well.A built-in capacity to flourish under the most difficult circumstancesI agree with the writer. Human beings have a tremendous potential in themselves that they may not recognize. The potential may never have a chance to be realized. But a crisis in life or a most difficult circumstance may trigger the potential and people will find themselves capable of more things. I once read a report about a nine-year-old boy who lived with his grandmother who is blind. His parents left him and never came back to see him. However, the boy was not only a good student at school; he also took good care of his grandmother on her little pension. He often went to school with an empty stomach, as he wanted to save the meal for his grandmother. It hard to imagine how a nine-year-old boy does all the homework, takes care of someone, and goes to school at the same time. It’s the circumstances that made him capable of doing so.What doesn’t kill you actually makes you strongerI think it is true that what doesn’t kill you actually makes you stronger. We have seen some cases in which some people were struck by misfortune and were never able to stand up again. They became hopeless and helpless. However, some other people became stronger once they came out of the misfortune. For instance, a strong earthquake hit Sichuan province of china. Thousands of people died, and many more got injured. But now people have re-established their families, built new houses and started their new life. The survivors eventually will become stronger than they were. Going through a very difficult situation and coming out as a better personYes, I have. When l first came to the university, I found I had a hard time understanding what a professors were saying in classes, especially in English classes because I left my ever university for seven years. I had so much pressure that I wanted to quit. Fortunately, my supervisor noticed the pressure that I was facing and he encouraged me to hold on. He also asked a upperclassman to help me with my study. Now I am a confident graduate student. I think with the past experience, I can handle any difficult situations. I am confident, optimistic and ready for any opportunities and challenges.Why do people take adventures or challenges, like extreme sports, to push themselves to limits and what can they obtain from these experiences?I think these people are born that way. They don’t like average life that everybody is leading and they expect themselves to be different from others. They want to do something special.Those are the people who know they have the potential to be the strong person, they take part in those activities just to prove to themselves or others that they are the best.Some people do this to attract the public attention for one purpose or another. Some of them are business people and they want the public to be aware of their products.These people have too much money and nothing else to do. They are bored with their life and nothing ordinary can arouse their interest. Only the extreme adventures can make them feel they are still alive.To develop a good mind a student must learn how to cultivate and develop a taste for learningI agree with the writer that to develop a good mind the student must learn how to cultivate and develop a taste for learning. To have a good mind, one must be educated. One must have a strong desire to learn new things and learn the right things, something that have a transfer value. He must learn things that will empower him with the faith in the future, and to be creative and flexible.Those learning experiences that have high transfer value to varied life situationsI think fine arts and literature have high transfer value. They give people hope, inspiration, imagination and faith. they can be applied to every aspect of life. They have the power to let people believe in themselves and hope for the best for the future. How important is one’s attitude to changes in his lifeOne’s attitude to changes is vital in his life. It affects his attitude toward his life, too. If he holds a favorable attitude to changes, he is an optimistic person and welcomes any change in his life. He is flexible, tolerant, and can cope with the unexpected.
