Translate the following paragraph into English using the words and expressions in the box below.▆ Answer for reference:That was a time when life was difficult for everyone. My family could barely get by on my small income from driving a cab. One late night I responded to a call for a cab ride. To my surprise, when I arrived at the address, I found it was a frail old lay who was awaiting me. After she got into the cab, I engaged her in conversation. I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well. I did take pride in that small favour.Theme-Related Writing▆Do one of the following writing tasks after class.1)Suppose you were Frannie, the head waitress, in Text A. Write a short story about Stevie fromyour perspective.2)Read the following newspaper clipping and write a short essay on the question:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus during Rush Hours?▆Sample Essay for Task 1:We all knew Stevie was mentally handicapped, so everyone, especially our boss himself, doubted whether he would be a capable busboy in the truck-stop restaurant where I worked as the head waitress. However, our worries were gradually removed one week later. Smiling and hard-working, Stevie won over all our trucker regulars as well as us employees.Later we learnt that Stevie badly needed the job because the money he earned made it possible for his mother and him to live together; otherwise he would be sent to a group home. So you can imagine how worried Stevie was when he had to take sick leave for heart surgery. He was afraid that he would lose his job. After the operation, in the week before he returned, he called 10 times to make sure that he could still have the job back. At that time, what concerned me most was how Stevie could handle the huge medical bills.But something happened which completely caught me unawares. Our regular customers, those warm-hearted truckers, were so generous that they, together with their companies, contributed over $10,000 for Stevie. That Thanksgiving Day was a big day when Stevie was back to work and when the money was presented to Stevie as a surprise gift. I cried a bit while people were cheering for the occasion.Now, Stevie is still working here. Our boss thinks that Stevie is the best worker he has ever hired. (240 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush Hours?I am amazed to read what a blogger says about of fering bus seats to the elderly. He claims that “it’s the young who need it more” because they go to work early in the morning and feel exhausted after a day’s work. The blogger also argues that it is unfair to offer seats to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides, and further suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment.I could never bring myself to agree with the blogger. Taking good care of the elderly is a universally accepted standard of conduct. In my opinion, offering seats to our elders is not just an indication of good manners; it is a moral issue. I always consider it my moral obligation to help others. Yes, you may feel comfortable for a while by remaining in your seat, but you will lose your character and moral values in the long run.Respecting the elderly is also our social convention. It is precisely out of our love and respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are offered to them. No one can deprive senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they like, and what’s more, we should make sure that they get special care when the bus is fully packed with passengers.Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved. It is through performing such small acts as offering seats to the needy that we learn to contribute to the building of a harmonious society. (268 words)。

However, a lot more people long for "soul pals"—those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call "true and perfect friendship".THEME-RELATED WRITING1. Bob and I became brother-like friends in our childhood. We played, dined and discussed our ambitions together. Once grown up, he started for the West to make his fortune while I became a policeman in New York. Before his departure, we had dinner together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come.Then came the day we were supposed to meet. I was on my beat then. Walking up to the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, I saw a man standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. Before I could speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of Jimmy Wells. When he struck a match to light his cigar, I saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. I recognized him immediately. It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the Chicago Police. For a moment I felt like telling him to escape right away. After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! But then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. I said good-bye to him and con tinued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “I’ll wait for half an hour. Jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” I then sent for a plain clothesman and had Bob arrested.Important Friend in My LifeLi Qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. He is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever "sunshine and butterflies". One day, I revealed to him my worries and anxieties: I, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. I thought no boy would like to date me. Besides, I was very poor at my academic courses.He suggested that I should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university. Encouraged, I decided to change myself. After a 3-month training program on weekends, I could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, I could concentrate on the required academic courses as well. The applauses I won at each fashion show and the scholarship I earned proved that being myself was terrific. Since then, my life has changed a lot. Thus, Li Qiang became an important friend of mine.Last semester, we began to help young people who suffer pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems. We set up a Confidence Club. Those who come to us for help find our work definitely beneficial. Our friendship has led me into a sparkling, rewarding life.Unit Two LoveChecking Your Vocabulary1)1. engaged2. grief3. manipulate4. agonizing5. maximum6. fascinate7. silverware8. grace2)1. moist.2. fit into3.

Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion and romance. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.THEME-RELATED WRITING1. Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as it was, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take. By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships.Do Girl Students Look for in Love and LifeIn order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities —Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend What’s the mostimportant thing for a happy lifeAbout one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard upon marriage and family life as central to a happy life.Unit Three HappinessChecking Your Vocabulary1)1. purchase2. temporary3. inform5. rewarding6. scale7. cultivate8. conscience2)1. a fact of life2. wear out3. suggests4. other than5. has something to do with6. working out7. attractive8. taken … painsChecking Your Comprehension1)1. We feel happy, but only for a short time. Over time, we get bored with the thing we’ve got.2. Material happiness is derived from our purchasing power while spiritual happiness means something else altogether, like good friends, a loving spouse, well-raisedchildren, a home built on love, a clear conscience, a worthy goal and a satisfying job. Such things bring us contentment that lasts and has meaning.3. His philosophy is: No matter how much money you make, you always want more. So, one should break free from this cycle and find time to do what he wants.4. The author lists seven "scales" by which we can measure wealth: friends, health, strength, family, knowledge, skill and character.5. They are not taxed.6. They are good friends, a loving spouse, well-raised children, a home built on love, a clear conscience, a worthy goal and a job you truly enjoy. All these things can bring us lasting and meaningful happiness.7. Take a look at the world around you and think about what it is that you enjoy and what makes you truly happy.2)1. If you excel in the skill you practice daily, you will get a sense of achievement and pride, which will bring you lasting happiness.2. If money or anything else has brought you some happiness in life, you have to give it up when you die. But it is not true of knowledge, because the contentment and happiness that knowledge brings might be with you forever even when you die.3. We only appreciate such things when we are older, and not as thoughtless teenagers.4. Try to find out what really makes your life enjoyable and meaningful. Then you will understand what is most important in life and what is meant by happiness.5. Material happiness is not the only happiness we need. We should have spiritual happiness as well.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in actionWorking with Words and Expressions(1)1. inform2. evaluate3. attractive4. depression5. leisure6.

A life that is too easy / smooth may also be destructive because it offers no opportunity for one to learn how to deal with / handle failures / frustrations / setbacks. That / This in part explains / accounts for the high rates of suicide among young people.(2)Happiness must have much to do with money. After all, a hard life will wear out one’s sense of joy. However, happiness doesn’t derive from money alone. Today’s society as a whole has seen dramatic improvement in the standard of living, and the majority of people are decently fed and clothed. However, are people happier today In fact, when the mass media and commercial advertisements are still reinforcing the notion that to be happy is to possess more, people find themselves longing more earnestly than ever for a happy and healthy spiritual life: being loved, respected, feeling safe and proud of realizing their self-value. As a wise man once pointed out, happiness lies in the positive attitude one holds towards life other than how much money one earns. Those millionaires who view life as boring and empty serve as good negative examples.THEME-RELATED WRITING1. Man Does Not Live by Bread AloneNo one would doubt the truth that man’s existence relies essentially on material things. We need them to get fed, clothed and sheltered. Once we are living near the breadline, we’ll feel frustrated and miserable.However, our contentment does not merely lie in material things. This is especially the case in modern times. The fast-developing economy has noticeably improved our lives and fulfilled most of our material needs. Then there comes theneed of spiritual satisfaction, which is derived from good health, close friends, a loving spouse, well-raised children, a home built on love, a clear conscience, a worthy goal and an enjoyable job. While material things may lose their charm over time, spiritual satisfaction will bring us lasting happiness.Therefore, to live a happy life, we should focus more on those things that meet our spiritual demands. After all, when our need for bread is met, happiness will not come unless we feel spiritually satisfied.2. I Really Made ItI will never forget the awful feeling in my first Oral English class at college.I tried hard to listen to every word the teacher spoke, but what she was saying made no sense to me. Bitterly, I admitted that I was so poor at listening and speaking in English.I wept several times, cursing my middle school for failing to provide adequate listening and speaking practice. But finally I calmed down because the familiar words rang in my ears: There must be a way out. I had a rather solid foundation of English vocabulary and grammar. What was left for me to do was to increase my listening input and speaking output. I made it a rule that every morning I would do reading aloud by the campus lake for 40 minutes, and every evening I would stay in the language lab, listening to English for at least an hour.Then at the end of the second year came my happiest moment: I got the Scholarship for Academic Excellence. I wore a broad smile when the president granted me the award.I then came to realize that happiness can only be gained through hard work.Unit Four HealthChecking Your Vocabulary1)1. isolate2. issue3. contract4. ignorance5. broken6. segment7. applause8. prejudice2)1. bring … to an end2. infect3. threats4. leading5. at risk6. wept7. tolerate8. set aside9. make room for10. appealingChecking Your Comprehension1)1.

She calls on the HIV positive to have the courage to fight it out. She calls on the healthy people to set aside prejudice and show compassion and support for AIDS patients.2)1. To act on the proposal I made, I have to break the silence myself tonight. It is time to speak out the truth about the deadly disease — AIDS.2. AIDS has become so widespread that those who have been infected come from every part of society.3. This question reveals the essence of the AIDS issue: Since AIDS poses a threat to humankind, every one of us, irrespective of race, age or sex, may contract HIV and become a victim of AIDS for the simplest reason that we are all human.4. Because people with HIV have not turned into some strange kind of creature that is totally different from us. They are just as human as anyone else. We have no reason to practice prejudice against them.5. Then the future generations will face the problem in an honest and frank manner. Only in this way can they deal with the disease effectively and make the world safe and free from this deadly disease.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in actionWorking with Words and Expressions(1)1. indifferent2. prejudice3. appealing4. rendered5. threats6. respect7. isolate8. sucked9. infected10. ignorance11. namely12. probable13. reluctantly14. applause15. wept16. issued17. shelter18. contracted19. cheated20. tolerated(2)1. guard against2. concern yourself with3. make room for4. bring … to an end5. in the hope of6. on the ground(s) that7. at risk8. set aside9.

This passage is mainly about ________.A)the benefits of exerciseB)the advantages of joggingC)some useful tips for joggingD)ways of keeping fit▇ Key:1. C2. B3. A4. D5. CSection C Task Two: Zooming In on the DetailsListen to the recording again and fill in each of the blanks according to what you have heard.1) Most __________________ are capable of jogging without extra help.2) Pushing yourself too hard can be _________, especially if you are jogging alone.3) Running downhill is actually worse for your _________ than running on a flat surface.4) To start jogging, wait ____________________________________ after eating.5) Be careful if you jog in _________ heat or cold. If it is hot, drink __________________ and stop to _________ if you feel faint. If it is cold, protect your ___________________________.▇ Answers for reference:1) Most healthy individuals are capable of jogging without extra help.2) Pushing yourself too hard can be dangerous, especially if you are jogging alone.3) Running downhill is actually worse for your knees than running on a flat surface.4) To start jogging, wait at least thirty minutes after eating.5) Be careful if you jog in extreme heat or cold. If it is hot, drink extra water and stop to rest if you feel faint. If it is cold, protect your hands and feet.These days it is not easy to find the time to exercise. Nonetheless, doing exercise regularly can help you live a healthier and happier life. Jogging is a great way to get at least part of the exercise your body needs, and most healthy individuals are capable of jogging without the need to buy special exercise equipment.There are a few jogging tips to keep in mind if you plan to take advantage of these benefits. The first tip is that running should ideally be an aerobic exercise. Starting off, you should find a pace at which you can jog for about half an hour. Try to keep this pace each time you jog until you have worked your way up to a full hour. Then, if you still want to keep building endurance, begin to increase your pace. Always be careful not to push yourself too hard; doing so can be dangerous, especially if you are jogging alone.Once you have gained enough strength and endurance and started to consider increasing your pace, however, you should consider other options first. Anyone who knows great jogging tips can tell you that jogging, though great exercise, is not always good to your knees. Consider jogging on a route that takes you up more hills if you are looking for a more intense workout. Running downhill is actually worse for your knees than running on a flat surface.In addition, it is important to be hydrated when you jog, but you should not have a stomach full of water. Wait at least thirty minutes after drinking any fluids or eating to start jogging. Also be careful jogging in extreme heat or cold. If it is hot, drink extra water and stop to rest if you feel faint. If it is cold, make sure your hands and feet are protected and try to breathe through your nose as much as possible to warm your breath before it reaches your lungs. Jogging can be a great form of exercise, but you should always do it safely.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main IdeasExercise 1: Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why wasn’t Owens worried in the face of Hitler’s ―master race‖ theory?2) What made Owens angry with Hitler? What was the consequence of his anger?3) How did Luz Long help Owens?4) How was it that Owens and Long formed a real friendship during the Games although theywere rivals in the competition?5) Why did Owens think Long was the perfect example of what Pierre de Coubertin hadconceived of as the spirit of the Games?▇ Answers for reference:1) He had been well-prepared and had performed very well especially in the running broadjump. In fact, a year before, as a sophomore at Ohio State University, he had set the world’s record of 26 feet 8-1/4 inches. That’s why he was confident and very sure of his success in this event.2) Hitler had intentionally kept the world in the dark about an excellent athlete by the name ofLuz Long, who had a good chance of winning the running broad jump. If Long won, Hitler would prove to the world that Aryans were better than any other races. Hitler’s intention angered Owens. The consequence of his anger was that he made mistakes twice in the three qualifying jumps.3) Long reassured Owens that he didn’t believe in Hitler’s theory. Then he offered Owens auseful tip to avoid fouling again in the third qualifying jump.4) Despite the fact that they were fierce competitors, Long helped Owens qualify for the finals,which meant Long himself might miss the gold medal. Then they poured out their hearts, sharing their views on life and sports. When Owens won, Long congratulated him heartily and sincerely. Their friendship was thus forged.5) Because what Long did for Owens well illustrates the Olympic spirit advocated by Pierre deCoubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games. According to him, the important thing in the Games is not winning but taking part. This spirit is also true of life, the essence of which is not conquering but fighting well.Exercise 2: Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Para(s). Main IdeaOne1-5 Jesse Owens was determined to get gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games, especially in the running broad jump where he had already set the world record. Due to his anger with Hitler and the tension arising from it, however, he fouled twice in the first two qualifying jumps. He would probably fail to qualify for the finals.Two6-18 With Luz Long’s help, Owens overcame his tension. He qualified for the finals and won the gold medal eventually. Major rivals as they were, they formed a true friendship despite the anger of Hitler.Three 19 Owens cherished his friendship with Long dearly and in the meantime he realized that Long perfectly symbolized the Olympic spirit—not winning but taking part.Section B In-Depth StudyAt the 1936 Olympic Games, Jesse Owens, a black athlete from America, amazed the world by winning four gold medals, including the one for his achievement in the broad jump. Now Owens tells this story about putting differences aside for the spirit of the Games. His well-cherished friendship with the German broad jumper Luz Long bears out the Olympic spirit, which is, in Pierre de Coubertin’s words, “The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.”My Greatest Olympic PrizeJesse Owens1 It was the summer of 1936. The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin. Because Adolf Hitler childishly insisted that his performers were members of a ―master race,‖ nationalistic feelings were at an all-time high.2 I wasn’t too worried about all this. I’d trained, sweated and disciplined myself for six years, with the Games in mind. While I was going over on the boat, all I could think about was taking home one or two of those gold medals. I had my eye especially on the running broad jump. A year before, as a sophomore at Ohio State University, I’d set the world’s record of 26 feet 8-1/4 inches. Everyone kind of expected me to win that Olympic event hands down.3 I was in for a surprise. When the time came for the broad-jump trials, I was startled to see a tall boy hitting the pit at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps! He turned out to be a German named Luz Long. I was told that Hitler had kept him under wraps, evidently hoping to win the jump with him.4 I guessed that if Long won, it would add some new support to the Nazis’ Aryan-superiority theory. After all, I am a Negro. A little hot under the collar about Hitler’s ways, I determined to go out there and really show Der Fuhrer and his master race who was superior and who wasn’t.5 An angry athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes, as any coach will tell you. I was no exception. On the first of my three qualifying jumps, I leaped from several inches beyond the take-off board for a foul. On the second jump, I fouled even worse. ―Did I come 3,000 miles for this?‖ I thought bitterly. ―To foul out of the trials and make a fool of myself?‖6 Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked disgustedly at the dirt. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of the tall German broad jumper. He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt. He offered mea firm handshake.7 ―Jesse Owens, I’m Luz Long. I don’t think we’ve met.‖ He spoke English well, though witha German twist to it.8 ―Glad to meet you,‖ I said. Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, ―How are you?‖9 ―I’m fine. The question is: How are you?‖10 ―What do you mean?‖ I asked.11 ―Something must be eating you,‖ he said—proud the way foreigners are when they’ve mastered a bit of American slang.―You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed.‖12 ―Believe me, I know it,‖ I told him—and it felt good to say that to someone.13 For the next few minutes we talked together. I didn’t tell Long what was ―eating‖ me, but he seemed to understand my anger, and he took pains to reassure me. Although he’d been schooled in the Nazi youth movement, he didn’t believe in the Aryan-supremacy business any more than I did. We laughed over the fact that he really looked the part, though. An inch taller than I, he hada lean, muscular frame, clear blue eyes, blond hair and a strikingly handsome, chiseled face. Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he pointed to the take-off board.14 ―Look,‖ he said. ―Why don’t you draw a line a few inches in back of the board and aim at making your take-off from there? You’ll be sure not to foul, and you certainly ought to jump far enough to qualify. What does it matter if you’re not first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts.‖15 Suddenly all the tension seemed to ebb out of my body as the truth of what he said hit me. Confidently, I drew a line a full foot in back of the board and proceeded to jump from there. I qualified with almost a foot to spare.16 That night I walked over to Luz Long’s room in the Olympic village to thank him. I knew that if it hadn’t been for him I probably wouldn’t be jumping in the finals the following day. We sat in his quarters and talked for two hours—about track and field, ourselves, the world situation,a dozen other things.17 When I finally got up to leave, we both knew that a real friendship had been formed. Luz would go out to the field the next day trying to beat me if he could. But I knew that he wanted me to do my best—even if that meant my winning.18 As it turned out, Luz broke his own past record. In doing so, he pushed me on to a peak performance. I remember that at the instant I landed from my final jump—the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5-5/16 inches—he was at my side, congratulating me. Despite the fact that Hitler glared at us from the stands not a hundred yards away, Luz shook my hand hard—and it wasn’t a fake―smile with a broken heart‖ sort of grip, either.19 You can melt down all the gold medals and cups I have, and they couldn’t be a plating on the 24-carat friendship I felt for Luz Long at that moment. I realized then, too, that Luz was the perfect example of what Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, must have had in mind when he said, ―The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.‖▇课⽂参考译⽂我最珍贵的奥运奖牌杰西·欧⽂斯1 那是1936年的夏天。

the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to be so highly honored? the champions who have mounted the winners’ stand can offer an answer based on their own experiences. first, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. once their dreams of becoming champions take shape, they will cling to them courageously. what’s more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. they discipline themselves and squeeze in every possible minute to practice every day. despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimes fail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. they are ready to take on the most psychologically and technically challenging tasks or competitions. in reality, all champions have experienced lots of hardships on their way to the vital break of their lifetime. so we won’t and can’t say that a champion is lucky. after all, luck only strikes those prepared to capitalize on it.theme-related writing1.

and blocks, and their never-ceasing courage and faith in winning the match. there are times when they lose the game, sometimes with embarrassing result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer a lot of injuries and new players do not match up to the veterans, yet, one must admit that the chinese girls have been practising very hard all the way.recent years have witnessed a difficult period for the team as russian, american, cuban, and brazilian teams have been rising in ranking and winning championships, but i still have faith in our team and give them my support. i wish them good luck in the coming olympics.(196 words)2. write an essay entitled “the meaning of winning a prize”. you may base your writing on what you have learnt from the two texts. the following hints may be of some help.1) what is a prize?2) what does a prize bring about?3) what is the fundamental meaning of wining prizes?▇ sample essay 2:in today’s society, competitions, contests and games are held virtually every day and everywhere. these activities put the participants into two categories: winners and losers. as symbols of public recognition, prizes are awarded to those who mount the winners’ stand.a prize brings about fame, prestige and good fortune. winners are constantly in the spotlight and attract admiring attention. their friends and colleagues come to congratulate them and their families take pride in them. more often than not, prizes simultaneously bring wealth to the winners as in the case of an olympic gold medal or a nobel prize. therefore, winners harvest both a good reputation and material rewards.however, this is not the essential meaning of wining a prize. winners are worthy of respect, admiration and good fortune because they embody some outstanding qualities that are worthy of a prize: perseverance, diligence and optimism. an athlete undergoes years of training and takes hundreds of highly demanding challenges before he steps onto that podium; a writer becomes popular overnight after he has spent years writing relentlessly in poverty and anonymity. what’s more, optimism in the face of adversity also contributes a lotto their success. they believe in themselves and have great passion for what they are engaged in. they endeavor to dotheir best,enjoying the process of fighting well. therefore, the fundamental meaning of winning a prize does not merely lie in the rewarding fame or wealth, but in the process of presenting the best part of oneself.(249 words)【篇二：新世纪大学英语3 cloze及答案】t 1what is genuine friendship? some c_______(1)views may help us

from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions. such is what we call true and perfect friendship.theme-related writing1. bob and i became brother-like friends in our childhood. we played, dined and discussed our ambitions together. once grown up, he started for the west to make his fortune while i became a policeman in new york. before his departure, we had dinner together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come.then came the day we were supposed to meet. i was on my beat then. walking up to the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, i saw a man standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. before i could speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of jimmy wells. when he struck a match to light his cigar, i saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. i recognized him immediately. it was bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the chicago police. for a moment i felt like telling him to escape right away. after all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! but then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. i said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “i’ll wait forhalf an hour. jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” i then sent for a plain clothes man and had bob arrested.2.an important friend in my lifeli qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. he is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever sunshine and butterflies. one day, i revealed to him my worries and anxieties: i, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. i thought no boy would liketo date me. besides, i was very poor at my academic courses.he suggested that i should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university. encouraged, i decided to change myself. after a 3-month training program on weekends, i could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, i could concentrate on the required academic courses as well. the applauses i won at each fashion show and the scholarship i earned proved that being myself was terrific. since then, my life has changed a lot. thus, li qiang became an important friend of mine.last semester, we began to help young people who suffer pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems. we set up a

I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well.

Write a short story about Stevie from your perspective.Read the following newspaper clipping and write a short essay on the question:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus during Rush Hours?▆Sample Essay for Task 1:We all knew Stevie was mentally handicapped, so everyone, especially our boss himself, doubted whether he would be a capable busboy in the truck-stop restaurant where I worked as the head waitress. However, our worries were gradually removed one week later. Smiling and hard-working, Stevie won over all our trucker regulars as well as us employees.Later we learnt that Stevie badly needed the job because the money he earned made it possible for his mother and him to live together; otherwise he would be sent to a group home. So you can imagine how worried Stevie was when he had to take sick leave for heart surgery. He was afraid that he would lose his job. After the operation, in the week before he returned, he called 10 times to make sure that hecould still have the job back. At that time, what concerned me most was how Stevie could handle the huge medical bills.Now, Stevie is still working here. Our boss thinks that Stevie is the best worker he has ever hired. (240 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush Hours?I am amazed to read what a blogger says about offering bus seats to the elderly. He claims that “it’s the young who need it more” because they go to work early in the morning and feel exhausted after a day’s work. The blogger also argues that it is unfair to offer seats to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides, and further suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment.Respecting the elderly is also our social convention. It is precisely out of our love and respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are offered to them. No one can deprive senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they like, and what’s more, we should make sure that they get special care when the bus is fully packed with passengers.Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved. It is through performing such small acts as offering seats to the needy that we learn to contribute to the building of a harmonious society.(268 words)Unit TwoLoveEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▆ Working with Words and ExpressionsIn the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Study the following data on love and marriage based on a survey with girl students. Write a passage on the topic “What do girl students look for in love and life?”▆ Sample Essay One:Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as they were, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships. (196 words)▆ Sample Essay Two:What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities — Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life?As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard marriage and family life as central to a happy life.

I recognized him immediately. It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the Chicago Police. For a moment I felt like telling him to escape right away. After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! But then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. I said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “I’ll wait for half an hour.

every day and everywhere. these activities put the participants into two categories: winners and losers. as symbols of public recognition, prizes are awarded to those who mount the winners’ stand.a prize brings about fame, prestige and good fortune. winners are constantly in the spotlight and attract admiring attention. their friends and colleagues come to congratulate them and their families take pride in them. more often than not, prizes simultaneously bring wealth to the winners as in the case of an olympic gold medal or a nobel prize. therefore, winners harvest both a good reputation and material rewards.however, this is not the essential meaning of wining a prize. winners are worthy of respect, admiration and good fortune because they embody some outstanding qualities that are worthy of a prize: perseverance, diligence and optimism. an athlete undergoes years of training and takes hundreds of highly demanding challenges before he steps onto that podium; a writer becomes popular overnight after he has spent years writing relentlessly in poverty and anonymity. what’s more, optimism in the face of adversity also contributes a lotto their success. they believe in themselves and have great passion for what they are engaged in. they endeavor to dotheir best,enjoying the process of fighting well. therefore, the fundamental meaning of winning a prize does not merely lie in the rewarding fame or wealth, but in the process of presenting the best part of oneself.(249 words)【篇二：新世纪大学英语3 cloze及答案】t 1what is genuine friendship? some c_______(1)views may help us

新世纪大学英语综合教程3课本参考译文第一单元友谊的真谛米歇尔·E·多伊尔马克·K·史密斯我们探讨友谊这个概念时，遇到的第一个问题是，没有社会公认的择友标准。
在某一情境下，我们会把某个人称为朋友；然而，情境一旦变迁，朋友这个称呼就显得没那么贴切了。
因此，人们对友谊的真谛的理解往往是非常肤浅的。
为了帮助我们理解友谊的真正含义，我们需要回顾有关友谊的几种传统的看法。
一种传统的友谊观在古希腊著名的哲学家亚里士多德的著作里得以阐述。
他将自己心目中真正的友谊同另外两种友谊截然分开。
这两种友谊分别是：基于互利的友谊；基于愉悦的友谊。
因此，根据亚里士多德的观点，我们可以将友谊分为三类：建立在功利之上的友谊。
|功利并非永恒，它依照环境而变化。
友谊的根基一旦消失，友谊也随之破灭。
这类友谊似乎在老人之间最为常见，因为上了年纪的人需要的不是愉悦而是实用。
基于功利的友谊也同样存在于追逐个人利益的中年人和青年人中。
这些人不会在一起消磨时光，因为他们有时甚至不喜欢对方，因而觉得除非可以互相利用，否则没有交往的必要。
只有当他们认为彼此有希望相互利用的时候，才会乐于呆在一起。
建立在愉悦之上的友谊。
|年轻人之间的友谊常被看作是建立在愉悦基础之上的，因为年轻人的生活受感情支配，他们感兴趣的主要是自己的快乐和眼前的重要机会。
然而，他们的情趣随着自己日渐成长也会变化，他们交友容易，分手也干脆。
年轻人的态度变化无常，甚至一日数变，难怪他们的友谊总是迅速地开始，又匆匆地结束。
建立在美德之上的友谊。
|完美无瑕的友谊立足于美德。
只有那些品德高尚而且拥有相似美德的人之间建立的友谊才是最完美的。
品行高尚的人，其行为是相同的，或者是类似的。
爱和友谊多半在品行高尚的人之间发生，而且以最高雅的形式出现。
这种友谊是罕见的，需要时间，需要交往。
常言道，真正的朋友必须同甘共苦，历经风雨。
只有当两个人互相证明自己值得爱并获得对方的信任之后，彼此方能接受对方为朋友。
交友的意愿可能倏忽而至，但真正的友谊却要慢慢培养。
另一种传统的友谊观可以在古罗马政治家、演说家西塞罗的著作里找到。
西塞罗认为，真正的友谊只能在好人之间发生。
他进而将“好人”定义为“那些行为和生活无损于自己的荣誉、纯洁、公平和开明的人；那些摆脱了贪婪、欲念和暴力的人；那些敢于依照自己的信念说话和做事的人。
”好人之间建立的这种友谊立足于美德，它确实可以带来物质利益，但决不以追求物质利益为目标。
人类生活在以共同的理想为基础的社会。
因此，在处理朋友关系和其他人际关系时，优越于他人的人必须平等地对待那些没那么幸运的人。
美德创造友谊，美德使友谊之树常青。
我们由此可以看出，传统的友谊观由三个要素构成：朋友以相伴为乐；朋友必须彼此受益；彼此都有志于崇高的事业。
这些传统的友谊观告诉我们，两个品德高尚的朋友是永不分离的，因为彼此认同对方的高尚品德。
因此，认识朋友就是认识自我，了解朋友就是了解自我。
可以说朋友就好比是一面镜子，每个人都可以从朋友身上看清自己。
置身于品德高尚的朋友之中，我们会对美德达成共识，共同为之不遗余力。
这样的友谊是永恒的，因为朋友应该具备的一切品质都凝结在这种友谊关系中。
二十年之后欧·亨利将近夜里十点，巡逻警察来到这条街上，样子威严，不时地看看街道两边的店铺，警惕的目光落在店铺的大门和橱窗上。
身材魁梧的他，俨然一副和平卫士的模样。
在一个街区走到一半时，他突然放慢了步伐。
只见一个光线黯淡的五金店门口，站着一个人，嘴里叼着没有点燃的雪茄。
他走了过去，那人赶紧开腔：“没事儿，警官，”他说道。
“我只是在等个朋友。
这可是二十年前的约定。
听起来有点好笑吧？我跟你说，二十年前这里曾经是个饭店。
”“五年前才拆的。
”警察说道。
门口那人划了根火柴，点燃了雪茄。
火光中可见一张苍白的脸，方下巴，目光敏锐，右边眉毛附近有一道白色的细小伤疤。
“二十年前的今晚，”那人说，“我和我最好的朋友吉米·韦尔斯就在这里吃的饭。
他可是个再好不过的家伙了。
我俩在纽约这儿一起长大，好得像兄弟俩，那年我十八，他二十。
第二天早上我就要动身去西部发财。
唉，要想让吉米离开纽约可是比登天还难哪！在他眼里人世间就只有纽约这么一个地方。
不过我俩那天晚上约定，二十年后的今日此刻，无论各自的境况如何，无论各自远在何方，都要在这里相聚。
我们当时认为，二十年后，不管各自做什么，有什么样的命运，发多大的财，一切都该成了定局。
”“听起来还真有意思，”警察说道。
“那你离开后就再没有你朋友吉米的消息了？”“不，我们通过一阵子信，”那人答道，“可一两年后就断了音信。
要知道，西部幅员辽阔，荒蛮原始，我又一直四处奔波，东跑西颠。
不过，我确信，吉米只要活着，他会来见我的。
他是这世界上最信得过的人。
他绝对不会忘记。
我千里迢迢来到这儿就是为了今晚站在这门口，只要我那老伙计露面，我也就不虚此行了。
他是不会食言的。
”那守候的人掏出一只精致的怀表，表盖上缀满了小粒钻石。
“九点五十七分，”他说道，“我们是十点整在饭店门口的这个地方挥手告别的。
”“在西部混得不错吧？”警察问道。
“那还用说！吉米干得有我一半好就不错了。
”警察转了转警棍，迈出了一两步。
“我走了，但愿你的朋友会按时赴约。
”“我至少会等他半个小时，”那人说，“吉米要是还活着，他会在我走之前来的。
再见，警官。
”“晚安，先生，”警察说完，又继续巡逻，边走边检查店门。
这时，天下起了蒙蒙细雨，冷冰冰的，起风了。
为了履行和少时好友的约定，那个不远千里来到这里的人还站在五金店的门口，抽着雪茄。
约二十分钟后，一个身着大衣、衣领立起的高个子男人从街对面匆匆走了过来，径直走向那守候者。
“鲍勃，是你吗？”他狐疑地问道。
“你是吉米·韦尔斯？”门口那人高声叫道。
“天哪！”新来者高兴地大叫了起来，一把握住了那人的双手。
“是鲍勃，真的是鲍勃！我就知道，只要你还活着，我就会在这里找到你。
哎呀呀，二十年啊，时间可真不短！老兄，西部待你怎样？”“西部给了我想要的一切。
你变了很多啊，吉米！没想到你长高了二三英寸呢。
”“哦，二十岁后我又长了点个子。
”“在纽约混得不错吧，吉米？”“马马虎虎。
在市政部门做事。
走吧，鲍勃，咱们到我熟悉的一个地方去，好好地叙叙旧吧。
”两人手挽着手，沿街前行，西部来的这位开始讲他的发迹史，另一位饶有兴致地听着。
拐角处有一家药店，灯光明亮。
来到通明的光线里，两人同时转身盯住对方的脸。
西部来的人突然停下来，抽出手臂。
“你不是吉米·韦尔斯！”他突然喊道，“二十年时间是很长，但也不至于把鹰钩鼻变成了塌鼻梁。
”“可是有时二十年会把一个好人变成恶棍，”高个子说道。
“十分钟前你就已经被捕了。
芝加哥方面认为你可能到我们这里来了，他们要和你谈谈。
还是老老实实地跟我们走吧，放聪明点！不过，我们去警所之前，你先看看这张字条，是一个人托我交给你的。
你就在橱窗边上看吧。
”西部来的人展开小字条。
开始读的时候手握得很稳，可读完时，手微微地抖动了起来。
字条很短：“鲍勃：我准时赴约了。
当你划亮火柴点燃雪茄时，我发现你正是受到芝加哥警方通缉的人。
可我自己无论如何动不了手，所以就走开，找了个便衣行使职责。
吉米。
”第二单元你的爱有多深有人认为爱如浮云有人认为爱坚强如铁有人认为爱是一种生活方式有人认为爱是一种感觉有人说爱要执着有人说爱不要约束有人说爱是生命的全部有人说不知道爱为何物在我们生命中的某个阶段，我们会经历难以名状的情感。
这种情感只能体会，无法用语言描述。
莫大的喜悦伴随着丝丝的伤感一同降临，这就是爱。
在紧张忙碌的生活中，我们竟能找到时间，沉湎于感情之中，这的确令人感佩。
然而，此时我想知道：我们是否懂得爱到底有多么深刻。
记得上学的时候，我迷恋的对象真是数不清：我的数学老师、邻居的儿子、好朋友的弟弟，还有另外一些因为眼睛的颜色、胡子的形状或走路的姿势而让我倾慕的人。
年少时的爱慕，不会带来伤害，如肥皂泡一样转瞬即逝。
那些稚气、大胆的想法和行为，现在想来大可一笑了之。
但是，在那时，对我来说，没有比恋爱更重要的事了。
接着就进入了真正“谈”情“说”爱的阶段。
我在女子学校学习，和男孩子交往的机会寥寥无几，因此，我热切地期待着我们学校和男子学校举办的交谊会。
交谊会上，一群精心打扮的年轻男子毫无顾忌地盯着我们。
这三个小时中的点点滴滴，成了我们在以后四个星期中足够的谈资，我们在议论时，心情澎湃。
即使是在那个时候，我也没有真正交男朋友的需要。
在我的成长岁月中，不知何故，我相信爱情该来的时候自然会来。
事实果真如此。
当我有了稳定的工作，有了长期的计划和比较安定的生活（我现在还不到25岁呢！）时，爱情降临了。
我也比较成熟了，能够步入不贪图许多回报而需要大量付出的感情关系。
我的爱情是在友谊这块地基上建起的高楼大厦。
爱情经过旷日持久的培养才开花。
我和我的恋人相互理解、同甘共苦、相互关心，投入了丰富的感情，才使爱情发展到今天。
爱情意味着情投意合。
你也许会说，我属于浪漫的传统派。
但是，依我看，爱情需要培养。
我们必须把爱情同强烈而短暂的激情或身体的愉悦区别开来。
我们的父辈，接受了理想爱情的灌输。
那是一个约束、压抑、崇敬、仰慕和十足浪漫的年代。
长裙、娴静质朴的外表、卷曲的长发、恬静的气质、羞怯的目光——这一切常使人想起一个消逝久远的年代。
那个年代，男女之间的距离无论如何都有助于维持爱情以及恋爱关系的神圣性。
年轻的一代人，由于观念开放，随着男女之间交往界线的消退，他们便急于赶浪头，匆忙恋爱，以至于难以区分身体的互相吸引与心灵的相投。
我们从媒体中接触到的人和事，使我们的感情历程大大加速，要想慢慢地体会自己的感受，确实需要付出努力。
学校里的青少年在全然没有感情的关系中所背负的感情包袱，令我深感难过。
也许有些人会把他们目前的感情状况归结为同龄人之间所施加的压力。
但是，可曾有任何人停下来想一想同龄人之间的压力来自何处？我们是否尝试着弄清楚是谁造成了这样的转变？可曾有人费神去研究青少年的心理呢？从这一代人处理个人生活的方式上，我们很容易看出他们的思想倾向。
跟从前相比，现在有更多的情感在欲望的压力下扭曲。
他们更注重外表的美丽而忽视内在的魅力。
两性交往随便了，亲密无间却少了；激情多了，感情却少了；个人获得的多了，相互间分享的少了；寻机获利的现象多了，无私的奉献少了。
简而言之，“自我”多了，爱的分享少了。
在这个竞争激烈的年代，我们已经变得麻木不仁，将恋爱的实质抛于脑后。
作为恋爱中的人，不只是意味着把红色的玫瑰花和五毛钱一张的卡片送给恋人，我们要做的事情还很多。
我们将自己的时间、陪伴、支持和友谊作为礼物送给自己的恋人了吗？我们是否确定了生活中最重要的事情，而后真诚地做好每一件事？我们是否先在情感上成熟起来，再尽情地追求爱情？我们是否给自己、给他人足够的时间和空间以巩固恋情的发展？我们是否为了追求有意义的、永恒的友谊而不遗余力？我们是否履行了自己的承诺？我们是否将自己的精力和感情倾注于终生不渝的关系而不是浪费在朝秦暮楚的关系中？人的生命只有一次，我们必须去体验能使我们更为坚强的每件事。
