What has caused this situation in your opinion?Nobel Prize, an international award given for achievements in various academic fields, has been a great honor to people from different countries. However, China, with the greatest population and a large number of research workers, has not produced a single Nobel Prize winner so far. In my opinion, various contributing factors can be identified as follows.First of all, though the educational system in China has fostered many researchers, it somehow hinders indivi duals’ creativity. Children are usually not valued by their unique way of thinking, but are encouraged to be obedient. Especially in the traditional cramming method of teaching, schools lay particular stress on memorization at the expense of comprehension, which has a very bad influence on students’ ability to solve difficult problems.Furthermore, for a long period in Chinese history, China had been isolated from the outside world. In ancient times, we were self-contained for self-pride, believing that China was at the center of the whole universe. In modem times, we were self-fettered for self-protection, afraid of the invasion of other countries. As a consequence, China has lagged behind in many fields including science development. Researchers in China have little idea about the research interests of their own areas. At the same time, discoveries by Chinese researchers cannot be made known to foreign countries. For instance, the clone technology was first explored by scientists from Chinese Academy of Sciences decades ago, but their research did not arouseinternational concern simply due to lack of communication.Fortunately, the situation mentioned above has been changing. Our educational system has improved a great deal and more and more opportunities to communicate with the external world have been offered. Therefore, I am sure that in the near future China will have one or more Nobel Prize winners.

In my opinion, however, the meaning of work is more than a good salary. To me, the kind of job worthy of devotion means creation and contribution.Work means new creations to the society. As science and technology progress, computers and robots are used widely. We might sometimes doubt the necessity of our very existence. Yet creative jobs, such as teaching, writing, scientific research, and management, which require a lot wisdom and imagination or involve many understandings, will build up self-confidence in ourselves and help to push our civilization further. During the process of creation, our work will constantly provide us with challenges so that we can develop and improve ourselves.Work also means the contribution one can make which will lead our country to prosperity. I remember that the first time I came to Beijing, on the train I was shocked with some shabby huts, which were actually people’s dwelling places. Those huts kept flashing into my mind, reminding me of our duty to help people out of such a life. Therefore, work does not only mean something about one’s own life, but something about a bright future for our country and our people.People can gain enjoyment from creative and contributive work. If you do not enjoy your work, even if it brings you a very good salary, you are not really leading a happy and meaningful life (248 words)2005年10月B卷英语作文题目Is a job seeker’s previous work experience important？if so, in what sense and to what extent? If not, why not？There is no denying that in the job market those with rich previous work experience will often be preferred. Some argue that this trend is not fair or rational. In my opinion, however, previous work experience definitely counts for much for a job seeker.To begin with, an enterprise likes to have employees who can enter the working process immediately. Employees with enough experience will help a company, especially a small or private company, to operate properly as soon as possible. Usually, private companies are unwilling to invest large amount of money in training new employees, which they believe will waste time and energy.Furthermore, through several times of job-hoppings, people can make up their minds firmly and clearly about where exactly their passions and interests lie, which is very important for their future success. In their previous work experience, employees have already learned how to communicate and cooperate with their co-workers. Therefore, with adequate work experience, an employee can no doubt make himself familiar with his new place so as to get a promotion easily in his or her new job.Considering the aspects mentioned above, if I were a boss, I would choose a job seeker who has previous work experience.

As a consequence, traffic accidents gradually become a serious problem and bring great inconveniences to people. In my opinion, this problem can be solved from three aspects.Firstly, our government should take drastic measures and enforce a series of effective traffic rules, which must be well acknowledged and understood by every person. Those who do not obey the rules will be punished according to the actual situation.Secondly, the Ministry of Communications should make every effort to better the poor traffic environment. We need traffic police to be responsible for their job. If our policemen can be committed to what they are doing, the traffic condition will surely be improved.Thirdly, every member of the society should realize the seriousness of traffic accidents, which not only bring mischief to the drivers themselves, but also lead their families into bitterness. As drivers, they should not drink alcohol before driving. As walkers, they should not cross the street when red light is still on.In a word, it is the task of the whole society to solve the traffic accidents. I believe the traffic accidents will be reduced through the endeavor of everyone, and our society will have a nice traffic order and environment.

State your opinion with solid support.“Have you ever cheated on exams？” Facing such an abrupt question, can you give an assertive answer that you have never desired or attempted to peek at others’ test paper？Cheating on exams has actually become a popularly concerned problemin China. It is now necessary for us to figure out the reasons behind the cheating behaviors.Our current educational system and testing method, which have remained unchanged for decades, might be one of the causes for students’ cheating behaviors. Students are not supposed to develop their independent thinking all through the process of education. If students cannot memorize their textbooks, they might either fail the exams or cheat on exams. Besides, the present tests have turned into fixed patterns, which can be convenient for students to duplicate the answers by looking at others’ paper.The current social environment somehow encourages cheating for it has become a widely held principle that “any means is acceptable so long as one can a chieve the goals”. People care nothing about how one makes success but will admire the celebrities, whose experiences are generally glorified after they become famous and rich. Honesty is not essential for judging a success.In conclusion, the phenomenon of cheating can only be stopped by the joint efforts of both the educational authorities and our whole society. (218 words)2004年3月英语作文题目Some people think that material wealth is a sign of success in China today. Do you agree or disagree? State your opinion and give good reasons.With the rapid development of our national economy, more and more people have become rich. They have luxurious cars and big houses. Some people believe this great possession of material wealth is a sign of success, while others strongly hold that wealth cannot be the only measure of success. In my opinion, whether a person is successful or not cannot be solely judged by his material wealth.It is true that many wealthy people are successful businessmen, but many other successful people are obviously not rich. Yand Liwei, the space hero,is a good example. He works hard and has brought great glory to our country, but still he draws a modest salary. Another example is the bus conductress Li Suli. She distinguishes herself for her eagerness to help the ordinary people and provide better service so that she has been honored as a national model worker. No doubt, working as a bus conductress, she could never compare with those business people in material wealth.Measuring success by wealth alone will make people neglect the spiritual side of life. If one's only goal in life is to become rich, doing nothing like serving other or making any worthwhile achievements to the society, then he certainly cannot be regarded as successful. In the public eye, those who spend their lives only striving for bigger house, expensive clothing and entertainment are the biggest losers of all.In conclusion, making money is indicative of success, but it doesn't mean to be the only way to success. The most important thing to achieve succes is to work hard and make contributions to our society.2003年10月英语作文题目My Idea of professional Ethics for a Scientist.There is no denying that a distinguished scientist should not only be learned and creative but also have good professional ethics for the good of both society and the scientist himself. But what are good professional ethics for a scientist?In my opinion, a scientist should possess the following qualities. First of all, an eminent scientist should make sure that his knowledge is used to bring benefits to the general public rather than to make his personal gains. He should devote himself to the advancement of technology, with the aim of raising the living standards of people and making our world a better place to live in. Secondly, as a respectable scientist, he should be on good terms with other scientists. Cooperation and mutual trust between scientists are very critical for scientific achievements. Thirdly, a good scientist should be honest and respect the work of others. Never should he copy from others or falsify research findings. Last but not the least, a scientist should be a responsible person. He should not make any hasty decisions. Once a decision is made he should shoulder its consequence.In a word, an excellent scientist should have good professional ethice to win the respect of the people and contribute more to people's benefits.2003年3月英语作文题目Good management can help the organization achieve its desired results. This is particularly true of the management of an organization full of scientists and research worker. What is your idea about a good management or good manager of such a group of people?Good management can help an organization achieve its desired results. But for any organization, managing human resources is never an easy job. To manage well a group of scientists and research workers could be even more challenging.First, since research staffs are all learned and highly opinionated individuals with independent thinking, the manager should never adopt simple and rather straightforward approaches that may otherwise be effective for other people. The manager himself should be highly educated, knowing what the researchers are doing, thinking and talking about, and then find appropriate ways to settle the differences. He also needs to have strong coordination competence in dealing with these independent people in fulfilling a collective task.Secondly, the manager should be aware that his scientific staffs are decent people, sensitive to the way of treatment. Therefore, he must show his sincerity whenever talking with them about anything serious.Thirdly, scientists are assets wherever they are and some of them may even be the backbones or pioneers in certain fields of research. If they are not satisfied whit the management, work environment or living conditions provided for them, they may choose to leave the organization and find jobs elsewhere. This would definitely be agreat loss to the organization. Therefore, a good manager should also take good care of these scientific staff, trying to solve their problems and improve their working and living conditions.To make it short, a good manager of a research institution must do his utmost to provide the best possible environment for research.2002年10月英语作文题目As a young scientist, which life would you prefer to live: common or uncommon? Why?As a young scientist, I prefer to live a common, rather than uncommon life. That is, I would rather have a life as ordinary as most people around me.Like most others, I enjoy staying with my family. Whenever I need help, my parents give me support. Now I'm alone in Beijing. But whenever I am in low spirit, my parents would write to encourage me. Conversely, when I have some new research findings, the first people I would like to share my happiness with are my parents.For most people, recreational activities serve as an important part of life. To me, a person always busy with research, they are all the more needed. Watching TV, playing games on the Internet and practicing Karaoke during my spare time are not only a lot of fun but also make me forget all the fatigue and become energetic again with my work.There is one more important reason that I prefer to live rather ordinarily. I found I often drew inspiration from ordinary scenes that helped a lot with my research. As it's well known, Newton found the law of gravity when he was sitting under a tree.As a young scientist, though I am busy with my research, I always get much pleasure from my common way of life. It is the source of my energy.。
