大二上册基础英语unit1--unit8 翻译和听写
第一单元听写A generation ago, children in many Western countries moved out of home when they left school for work or college study. They would rent a room or share a flat with other teenagers. Today’s young adults are not in such a hurry to leave. It is often more comfortable to live at home than to rough it in cheap accommodation. There are two reasons for this change. The first reason is the depressed job market, which makes it more and more difficult for young school-leavers to get a good job. Besides, many governments have made severe cuts in educational funding. Students are required to pay fees or part of the fees for college education. The second reason is a change of attitude toward life. Today’s young people have more spending power than their parents and they are more prepared to use it. They tend to live for the present rather than prepare themselves for the future.翻译：1. She doesn’t seem to get along with her new classmates.2.

However, at the same time, a period of life has passed, which makes one sad when he thinks something will never come back. It is not silly to feel a certain regret, for when one gets something, he may meanwhile have lost something else. Many things really begin at the age of twenty, and certainly all is not over then. One begins to see more and more clearly that life is only a kind of sowing time, and the harvest is still far away.翻译：1. He resolved to work on the complicated project immediately.2. They saw an old man knocked over by a car coming from the opposite direction.3. He walked unsteadily/stumbled along in the dark, groping for the light-switch.4. After three month’s illness, he found it difficult to rise to his feet again.5. Owing to the staff shortage, the task could not be fulfilled on schedule.6.

We were close friends in primary school, but I dare not greet him because I was not sure whether he would recall our friendship after so many years. The thing that struck me was my own reaction to meeting him. From day to day I often see men who went to school with me and who have, in the common way of speaking, done well for themselves. They are now doctors, lawyers, important officials and even very successful businessmen. They are wealthy and famous figures in our city. Sometimes, they see me too and nod a greeting or turn their eyes to a shop window as the case may be. Whenever I encounter one of these people I always feel a burning shame and self contempt, but George was different because we were special friends. I used to protect him from the bullies around our school. He noticed me and our eyes met, but he soon noticed the worn, old clothes I was wearing. He greeted me warm-heartedly from a distance and said quickly afterwards: "Billy nice to meet you, but I must run. "I can't understand why I replied" Yes, Sir."翻译：• 1. There is a road on our left leading straight to thefoot of the mountains.• 2. In order to lose weight, she eats nothing but vegetables.• 3. We are sorry to inform you that we cannot employ you right now. If there is a vacant position / a vacancy in the future, we will contact you.• 4.

She burst out crying when she heard that her lost daughter had been found.•7. If you have any difficulties, don’t hesitate to come to see me.第五单元听写：An important relationship exists between food and comfort. In times of stress, when one is depressed, anxious or hurt, the temptation may be to turn to food—soft, smooth, sweet, soothing food. Many people turn to food that reminds them of their childhood, of being loved and cared for. Others find as much comfort in the distraction offered by the act of preparingfood—the smells, sensations, and physical work in the kitchen. Scientists researching the link between foods and moods believe that some sweet and starchy foods trigger an increase in a certain chemical substance in the brain, making us sleepy and less sensitive to pain. However, there is a problem with using food as a source of comfort— the problem of over-eating and overweight.翻译：1.She looks very beautiful when she piles up her hair ontop of her head.2.The cases and bags being sold in the shops are stuffedwith paper so that they look more attractive.3.The teacher handed out a pencil to each student beforethe exam as the questions were to be answered in pencil.4.The house is totally devoid of furniture.5.He managed to win her trust by taking advantage of herignorance.6.When evening approaches, the vendors would lay out anassortment of small articles on the ground for people tobuy.7.It is said that a new lock has been invented that canidentify its owner by the smell of his or her body.8.Out of gratitude for the help of his teachers andclassmates, he is determined to work hard and score highly.第六单元听写：In general, children in primitive societies are much loved, and when their childhood is not overshadowed by disease or famine, they grow up free and lively. Their education is based on an imitation of adult life, and on the teachings of their elders. Children learn about their own family and its place within a group of other families. Primitive children are a good deal freer in everyday life than are children in the “civilized” world. Their relations with others in their village are controlled less by rules and regulations than by their own knowledge of what is proper and improper that will be important to them throughout their lives.翻译：• 1. At the sight of the general walking towards him, he got to his feet at once and saluted.• 2. “What’s this money for?”“It’s for helping those children who have lost the chance for schooling to returnto school again.• 3. The knock at my door night sent me quivering with fright.• 4. I can assure you that he is a most reliable person.• 5. Everybody hopes that he will take over as dean of the department when Mr. Martin retires.• 6. She tried her best to hide her feelings, but eyes betrayed her longing for the prize.•7. It is said that people increase their risk of skin cancer if they are exposed to the sun too much.第七单元听写：Women’s low social position is a serious problem. It is evident in almost every aspect of social life. Even our language often gives us the false impression that women simply don’t exist. For example, once the word man meant person or human being. But the word man has gradually become more specific in meaning and is now a synonym for an adult male human being only. In the words of a popular dictionary for children, a boy grows up to be a man. Father and Uncle George are both men. This is the meaning that we understand because we hear the word man used in everyday speech in this way from childhood.Later we learn that the word man has another meaning, but we do not accept it with the same certainty. Studies of college students and school children show that phrases like economic man and political man or man is a dreamer create an image of males only, not females or males and females together. Furthermore, we have become aware that conventional English usage often minimizes the achievements, the contributions and sometimes the very presence of women.翻译：1.I prefer spring to autumn though I love both seasons.2.I believe that electric cars will one day supplantpetrol-driven ones.3.They warned him of the danger of climbing the Himalayas,but he wouldn’t listen.4.The teacher told his students that their future prospectshinged on their education.5. Everybody thinks that she deserved the award Best Actress of the Year.6. Every time the girl came across a problem, she would turn to her mother for solution, rather than trying to solve itherself.7. After her husband died, she continued to nurture her three daughters.8. It seems that a lot of people learn English less as a practical language than for its grammar.第八单元：听写：Language is the commonest means of communication for human beings, //but if people speak different languages,// they usually turn to other means. //Gesture, then, is often the first choice. //Gestures in most cases help people a lot in getting their meanings across. //However, since the same gestures may be used for different ideas in different cultures, //failures in communication often happen. //Sometimes this may lead to terrible consequences. //Several years ago, some European sailors were swimming near a coastal area in a foreign country, //which was closed to outsiders. //Seeing these unknown swimmers, the guards on the coast wanted to question them. //The guards shouted to them to come nearer, //and made at the same time their usual “come here” gesture. //The sailors did not understand the language //and took the gesture to mean “go away”, //and they realized they might be nearcoastal defenses, //so they swam off. //The consequence was that the guards who were now highly suspicious, //opened fire, with tragic results. //翻译：。

Yet evidence suggests that most of us don’t use the learning techniques that science has proved most effective. Worse, research finds that learning strategies we do commonly employ, like rereading and highlighting (突出标示), are among the least effective.Although highlighting and underlining are common practices, studies show they offer no benefit beyond simply reading the text. Some research even indicates that highlighting can get in the way of learning; because it draws attention to individual facts, it may interfere with the process of making connections and drawing inferences (推断). Nearly as bad is the practice of rereading, a common exercise that is much less effective than some of the better techniques you can use. Lastly, summarizing, or writing down the main points contained in a text, can be useful for those who are skilled at it, but it is also rated as being of low utility as there are far better ways to spend your study time.In contrast to familiar practices like highlighting and rereading, the learning techniques with the most evidence to support them aren’t well known outside the laboratory. Take distributed practice, for example. This technique involves spreading out your study time, rather than engaging in one marathon (马拉松). Rote (死记硬背) at the last minute may allow you to get through that test or meeting, but the material will quickly disappear from memory. It’s much more effective to dip into the material at intervals over time.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times.

Is this a good thing? It’s definitely not a good thing when the celebrity concerned is doing nothing but set a bad example.Celebrities and those in the public eye have a responsibility which few appear to acknowledge. Their behavior, the way they dress, the way they conduct themselves when out on the town, the cars they drive and the places they go on holiday are all seen by fans and followers as goals worth pursuing. It’s therefore not surprising that so many young people routinely use illegal substances, drink too much, are preoccupied with their appearances and care so little for the environment.I’m reminded that celebrities are people too. They are subject to the temptations, the anxieties and mental strain that everyone has to bear. But I think that it is high time that celebrities woke up to their responsibilities. If they want to be applauded for their work they must assume responsibility for the role model that they provide.Many celebrities are guilty of setting bad examples at one time or another. When will these people become aware of the fact that whatever they do will be copied by countless hundreds, thousands, even millions of people?While most people are sensible enough not to be overly influenced by such stories there are plenty who will hear these tales and see them as a green light. They’ll believe that it is perfectly OK to drive an environment killing car at breakneck speed on public roads because some thoughtless, selfish celebrity has bragged (吹嘘) about doing it.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times.

Whether it is through social position, culture, interests, achievements, or beliefs, children derive from their social identities a sense of pride, self-worth, and consistency. So, when it is rapidly changed, threatened, or questioned, it is no wonder that a child may become vulnerable (易受伤害的) to depression.Not all children who undergo changes of their social identities will experience depression. Instead, it is thought that those who identify with a limited number of social roles are more at risk of developing depression when a role is lost. This is not to say that a child cannot develop a new social identity, but it simply highlights the importance of how a child views himself in relation to the world around him.In order to have a social identity, we need people around us to confirm or deny. The people around us also influence our social identities and the way we feel about ourselves. If a child is very shy and withdrawn, it is likely that other children will pick up on her social cues and leave her alone, thus confirming him social identity as shy and withdrawn. In turn, she may lack satisfaction in her social role, feel lonely, or become frustrated trying to break free from that identity.As a parent, you can support your child’s social roles by acknowledging what and who is important to her. Try not to put too much emphasis on any one single social role. Instead, encourage him to try new and different things, and remind him of the other important roles that she plays in life.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times.

Hundreds of universities across the country are turning to email’s overactive younger brother –text messaging –to bridge the digital divide between administration and students. 90 percent of students carry cell phones and 70 percent use Short Message Service (SMS) technology, more commonly known as text messaging, on a regular basis, according to online statistics. Most university chief information officers agree that it makes sense to send urgent alerts to devices that students have with them all the time. And in addition to having a far reach with college kids, text messages are delivered fast; unlike email, thousands of messages can be transmitted within a few minutes.But this hailed technology is not without problems. Getting students enrolled in a voluntary (自愿的) program is never easy. Students say that they’re reluctant to share their cell phone number with their institution for fear of receiving junk mail. Also, without unlimited message plans, messages can cost a cell phone owner 10-15 cents each, which hinders the program. Besides, students might also withdraw from the program or, if they get a new number, may not update their number in the school’s system.Meanwhile, technology has its share of problems – like the fact that messages are limited to 160 characters. A shorthand alert, brief instructions, and perhaps an indication to check the school’s website for more details is all that a text message can afford. Despite limitations, three text message alert companies formed in 2005 and are leading today’s higher education SMS market.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times.

When the financial markets fall, companies of all sizes announce plans to reduce their workforce, and job-seekers tend to get a bit worried about the job search they may face. It almost goes without saying that job-hunting in a boom economy is much easier than job-hunting in a slumping (暴跌) economy.What’s the most important aspect of job-hunting? Not resume building nor interviewing skills ... but networking. Networking is the perfect way to meet the professionals in your field who can offer you new perspectives on your industry and assist you in seeking new job opportunities. If you use your network properly, you will hear of multiple job opportunities, often before they are even listed.Some job-seekers shy away from networking because they think networking is equal to taking advantage of people, but if done correctly, networking can be a rewarding experience for all parties involved. Networking is not asking everyone you know for a job. Networking means developing a broad list of contacts and using them to your advantage when you look for a job. People in your network could be your family, friends, and people you’ve met through social and business situations. They may be able to give you job leads, offer you advice and information about a particular company or industry, and introduce you to others so that you can expand your network. When you have a network of professional contacts with whom you interact on a regular basis, your employment opportunities will grow greatly.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times.

This is especially true when the abuse is emotional, rather than physical. Noticing and acknowledging the signs of an abusive (虐待的) relationship is the first step to ending it.Domestic abuse occurs when one person in an intimate relationship or marriage tries to gain total control over the other person. Domestic violence and abuse does not discriminate. It occurs within all age ranges, ethnic (民族的) backgrounds, and economic levels. And while women are more common victims, men are also abused—especially verbally and emotionally, although sometimes even physically as well.When people talk about domestic violence, they are often referring to physical abuse, which is the use of physical force against someone in a way that injures that person. Physical abuse is a crime, and the police have the power and authority to protect you from physical attack. But not all abusive relationships involve violence. Many men and women suffer from emotional abuse, which is no less destructive, but often neglected—even by the person being abused.Emotional abuse includes verbal abuse such as yelling, name-calling, blaming, and shaming. Isolation, intimidation, and controlling behavior also fall under emotional abuse. Additionally, abusers who use emotional or psychological abuse often throw in threats of physical violence if you don’t do what they want.You may think that physical abuse is far worse than emotional abuse, since physical violence can send you to the hospital and leave you with scars. But emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse—sometimes even more so because the scars of emotional abuse are real and run deep.。
大学英语听力1Unit2文本和答案
大学英语听力1Unit2文本和答案《现代大学英语听力2》unit2 Weather 听力原文及题目答案Task 1【答案】1) b 2) a 3) d【原文】Texas was the biggest state before Alaska became the forty-ninth state in 1959. One good way to understand the size of Texas is to learn about its weather. Different parts of the state have very different kinds of weather.Laredo is one of the hottest cities in the United States in summer. The best time to visit Laredo is in winter, when it is pleasantly warm.Amarillo gets very cold in winter. Sometimes there is more snow in Amarillo than in New York, which is a northern city. Summers are better, but sometimes it gets quite hot. The best time to visit Amarillo is in the autumn when it is cool.If anyone asks you about the weather in Texas, ask him, “What part of Texas do you mean？”Task 2【答案】A. 1) T 2) F 3) FB. 1) d 2) c 3) cC. climate, reputation, extraordinary, unreliable, dry, wet, clear,dull, hot, cold, bad, mild【原文】Our friend, Nick, whose English gets better and better, declared solemnly the other day that he thought that the Britishclimate was wonderful, but the British weather was terrible. He went on to explain by pointing out that the British climate was a temperate one. This meant, he said, "that you could always be certain that the weather would never be extreme —at any rate not for any length of time — never very hot and never very cold." He quite rightly pointed out that the rainfall in Britain, according to the statistics, was not very heavy. "Why then," he asked, "has the British climate such a bad reputation?" He answered by saying it was because of the extraordinary, unreliable weather. There was no part of the year at which you could be certain that the weather would be dry or wet, clear or dull, hot or cold. A bad day in July could be as cold as a mild day in January. Indeed you could feel cold at almost any time of the year. Nick blamed drafty British houses for this, but agreed you could also blame the small amount of sunshine and a great amount of dampness. He advised every student coming to Britain to bring an umbrella and to understand the meaning of that splendid word "drizzle".Task 3【答案】I.the country; Trees, grass, lakes and steamsII.A.1. concrete, iron, steel2. take in the heat during the day and throw off heat into the air at nightB. Warmer winters, car engines; electrical applianceⅢ.A. air pollution may stop sunlight from reaching the earthB.1. Ice near the North and South poles to melt2. to be slowly flooded and people living in these cities to move to higher land【原文】Cities change the climate around you. In the country, there are trees, grass, lakes, and streams. In hot weather, the trees and grass cool the area around them. Lakes and rivers also cool the area around them.But cities are not cooled in these natural ways. Cities are built of asphalt, concrete, iron, andsteel. There are few trees and usually not much grass. Rain falls onto the streets and into the sewers.When the summer sun shines, streets and buildings take in the heat; after the sun sets, the streets and buildings throw off heat into the street. Once the sun sets, the countryside cools off, but a city may stay hot all night.Cities are hotter than the countryside in winter, too. Standing near a car with its motor running, winter or summer, you will feel the heat thrown off by the engine. The heat comes from the gasoline burned by the engine. This heat warms the air and the ground around the car. Thousands of running cars are almost like thousands of small fires burning.Carefully put your hand near a light bulb or television set. As you can see, electricity creates a lot of heat. This heat from electricity warms the house and the outside air.The heat given off by cities can affect the climate. Some experts even believe that cities can change the climate of the whole world. They think that air pollution may stop sunlight from reaching the earth. If less sunshine reaches the earth, the earthmay become cooler.Still other experts think the world will get warmer. If the world did get warmer, great changes would occur. Ice near the North and South poles would melt. This would make the oceans rise. Cities near oceans — like Los Angeles, Boston, and Miami —would slowly be flooded. People living in these cities would have to move to higher land.Task 4【答案】A. 1) b 2) cB. night, delight; morning, warning; gray, way, red, headC. 1) F 2) T 3) F【原文】A red sky at either dusk or dawn is one of the spectacular and beautiful weather predictors we have in nature. By closely observing this phenomenon,you can achieve short-range accuracy of the weather as good as, or better than your local weatherman. In the Bible, Jesus in Matthew 16, 2-3 is quoted as saying, “When it is evening, it will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning it will be foul weather today: for the sky is red” when speaking to the Pharisees. An old English weather proverb based on this passage is:Red sky at night, sailors delight.Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.OrEvening red and morning gray,Sends the traveler on his way.Evening gray, morning red,Brings the rain down on his head.At dusk, a red sky indicates that dry weather is on the way. This is due to the sun shining through dust particles being pushed ahead of a high pressure system bringing in dry air. A red sky in the morning is due to the sun again shining through dust. In this case however, the dust is being pushed on by an approaching low reassure system bringing in moisture. Don't confuse a red sky in the morning with a red sun in the morning. If the sun itself is red and the sky is a normal color, the day will be fair.Task 5【答案】1) c 2) b 3) d 4) c 5) c【原文】Mark: I am an avid fly fisherman and frequently find myself on the river in a raft during lightning storms. We always have a debate at these times on where we are safest —pulling into shore or staying on the water. Since I have heard one is safe in a car when lightning strikes I wonder if the raft floating on the water is insulated, and therefore the safest place to be.Meteorologist A: We spoke with some scientists about your question, and they all agreed that under no circumstances should you remain on the waterduring a lightning storm. If your raft is made of rubber, you might feel that you're .well insulated, but don't kid yourself. Typical lightning flashes travel 10 to 15 kilometers and can deliver as much as 100,000 amps of current. In comparison, a toaster uses about 10 amps of current. If lightning strikes the water near you, it will have no trouble traveling through a few extra centimeters of rubber.Meteorologist B: So, if you're on the water and athunderstorm approaches, get to the shore and seek shelter on land. Try a building or car. If neither is available, look for a cave, cliff, wall, or a group of trees. Never take shelter under an isolated tree-it's also a good target for lightning.Task 6【答案】A.1) F 2) T 3) F 4) T 5) F 6) TB. Incredible, one minute, one kilometer, destroyed, lifted up, carriedaway, killed, injured【原文】Every spring and summer many inland areas are hit by tornados. A tornado is a kind of storm. It's a revolving, funnel-shaped column of air that moves through the sky at very high speeds. A tornado looks like a huge, black ice cream cone whirling through the sky. The speed of a tornado is very fast-it is believed to be between 200 and 700 kilometers per hour.Tornados form under very special weather conditions, and these special weather conditions occur most often in inland areas, such as the central United States. A tornado forms when a layer of warm, dry air is on top of a layer of cooler, moist air. This combination of dry, warm air above wet, cool air creates a condition that causes the lower layer of air to lift up. As the lower air rises, both layers of air begin to rotate, to turn around and around. The air begins to rotate faster and faster because of centrifugal force. The tornado has a center called an “eye” and the air rotates quickly around this eye.As the air begins to rotate faster and faster, the tornado cloud begins to grow downward; that is, it begins to form a funnel or cone, and this cone goes down toward the ground.The cone of air is dark because it develops from a dark rain cloud. As the cloud gets longer, as the cloud gets closer to the ground, it begins to pull up dirt from the ground. Then the funnel ofrotating air becomes very dark because of the dirt in it. As the tornado funnel gets longer, it begins to drag along the ground.When the tornado touches the ground, it does incredible damage. It usually touches the ground for only about one minute, and it usually travels along the ground for only about one kilometer, but during that one minute, buildings are destroyed, trees are lifted up out of the ground, small objects are carried away, and sometimes people are injured or killed.Task 7【答案】A. 1) b 2) a 3) bB. 1) It has been nice weather during the day, but it is going to changeat night.2) Fine weather in southern Europe and not so nice in northern EuropeFor todaySoutheast England---26 degrees Celsius by mid-afternoon Southern Scotland---Maximum temperatures of around 21 degreesBrighton---15 hours of lovely sunshineMidlands---23 degrees Celsius by early afternoonNorthwest of Scotland---Light showers around middayFor the weekendSpain---34 degrees CelsiusGreece---32 degrees CelsiusFrance---Cloudy with rain, maximum temperatures of 22 degreesNorthern Ireland---Heavy rain, 17 degrees CelsiusMost of England---Cloudy but mainly dry with sunny periods, 23 degrees Celsius【原文】Radi o Announcer: You’re listening to Radio Metro. It’s two minutes to nine, and time for the latest weather for cast from Dan Francis at the London Weather Centre.Francis: Hello. It's been another warm and fine day for most of us. Temperatures in southeast England reached 26 degrees Celsius bymid-afternoon, and Brighton had 15 hours of lovely sunshine. Further north it was a little cooler with maximum temperatures of around 21 degrees in southern Scotland, and in the far northwest of Scotland there were some light showers around midday. But the rest of the country, as I said, has been warm and dry with temperatures in the Midlands reaching 23 degrees Celsius by early afternoon though it was a little cooler along the west coast and in Northern Ireland. But already the weather is beginning to change, I'm afraid, and during the night showers will slowly move in from the Atlantic to reach south-west England and the southern coast of Wales by early morning.The rest of the country will have a very mild, dry night with minimum temperatures no lower than 15 degrees in the south, a little cooler —11degrees or so —in the north. Any remaining showers in northwest Scotland will pass quickly to leave a mild, dry night there too.And now the outlook for Friday and the weekend. Well,southern Europe will, once again, get the best of the weekend weather, and if your holiday starts this weekend, then southern Spain is the place to go, with temperatures of 34 degrees along the Mediterranean coast. At the eastern end of the Med, too, you can expect uninterrupted sunshine and temperatures of up to 32 degrees Celsius in Greece and southeast Italy, but further north the weather's not so settled. Much of France, Belgium and the Netherlands will be cloudy with occasional rain, and maximum temperatures will be around 22 degrees —very disappointing for this time of the year.Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much of the weekend and temperatures will drop to a cool 17 degrees. Across most of England the weather will be cloudy but mainly dry with sunny periods. And when the sun does come out, temperatures could rise to a maximum of 23 degrees.Task 8【答案】【原文】As the air pressure around you either rises or falls, many changes in nature occur. Most of these are very obvious changes while others are of a more subtle nature.Mountains and other far away objects will appear to be much closer and more sharply focused as wet weather approaches and the air pressure drops. The dust particles in the air begin to settle to the ground and the air clears, allowing you to see more details of faraway objects. As a high pressure front approaches and the air becomes “thicker,” more dust particles become suspended in air and things take on their normal somewhat hazy appearance.“Sharp horns on the moon threaten bad weather.” This anda bright, clear moon are good indicators that wet weather is on the way. As the air clears of dust particles ahead of a low pressure system, the moon appears to come closer and be more sharply focused due to the lack of dust.Sound also becomes sharper and more focused prior to stormy weather. Instead of traveling upward and outward into the atmosphere sound waves are bent back to the earth and their range extended. Bird calls soundsharper, and, at my house, we can hear the blowing of the train horn as it rumbles through the valley below.If you find yourself out in a marsh or swamp and the air really seems to stink more than normal, expect rainy weather. This happens when the pressure drops and the methane trapped on the bottom of the swamp is released in greater quantities. In reverse, as fair weather approaches and the pressure rises, things won't smell quite so strong.Birds and bats have a tendency to fly much lower to the ground right before a rain due to the “thinning” of the air. They prefer to fly where the air is the most dense and they can get greater lift with their wings. With high pressure and dry air, the atmosphere becomes denser and they can easily fly at higher altitudes.Smoke rising straight into the air means fair weather and smoke hanging low means rain is on the way. This is pretty much the same as with the birds and methane in the swamp. When high pressure approaches, smoke will rise whereas with low pressure it can't rise and tends to lay low.Remember a grandparent talking about how their corns, bunions, or joints ached right before a rain? Again, this is due to the decreasing atmospheric pressure allowing the gas in ourbodies to expand.Task 9【答案】A. Statements 3, 6, 7 are true.B. f—c—a—d—b—eC. 1) F 2) T 3) F 4) FD. 1) d 2) b【原文】It was 1974. Richard Nixon was still president. Kidnapped heiress Patty Hearst was still missing. In Xenia, a pretty spot of 25,000 people amid fields of soybeans and corn, American Graffiti was held over at the Cinema. The Xenia Hotel offered a chicken and dumpling dinner for $2.25, but everyone flocked to the A&W drive-in for burgers and root beer floats. That's where five of the bodies were found after the storm.In all, 33 people died in Xenia's tornado, the deadliest of 148 storms that raged through 13 states during the infamous "Super Outbreak'' of tornadoes April 3 to 4, 1974. In 16 hours and 10 minutes, 330 people were killed and nearly 5,550 were injured from Illinois to Georgia.Though the Xenia death toll has been matched by other killer storms, the degree of devastation makes the city's tornado among U.S. history's most destructive. The storm still is studied in colleges by aspiring meteorologists, a textbook case of a rare Category F-5, the most intense of tornadoes.On that fateful day, I was a young boy of 8 years old. We lived in the Arrowhead Subdivision. That afternoon I was around the corner playing with some neighbor kids. I thought I could hear my father calling me, so I ran back to the house. Thinking back now, there is no way I would have been able to hear him. I wastoo far away for a voice to have traveled in the afternoon noise. Besides, Dad had a very bad case of tonsillitis that day. Like I was saying, I went back home and got through the door just in time to answer the ringing phone. On the other end of the phone was my Mother. Mom was working. She told me she heard a bad storm was on the way. She told me to make sure the garage door was shut and to stay inside. After I hung up the phone, I settled down to watch The Dennis Show. To this day I can vividly remember the electricity going out. I looked out the large window in the living room and didn't have a clue as to what I was looking at.Dad was asleep on the couch, so I woke him up to look. Dad looked and said to get into the bathroom. We sat on the floor. Dad had his back to the door and his feet pushing against the wall opposite the door. I remember that as soon as we sat down, the windows broke. Glass blew under the door, and the sound was tremendous. I know it really didn’t take too long for the tornado to go past, but I do remember the conversation we had in the process. I could feel the cool air rushing under the floor through the crawlspace vents. I asked if we were flying. He said he wasn't sure, but he didn't think we were. He said the house was tearing apart. I asked him how he knew. He said he just knew it was.When things calmed down, we opened the door. The odd feeling I had, looking up the street from inside what once was my hallway, is still with me today.I think back often to that day. I think back and wonder what would have happened if my Dad hadn't been sick that day. Like a lot of kids, I stayed home by myself after school back then. I seriously doubt I would be able to tell you my story, if I had beenalone that day. I still live in Xenia and wouldn’t trade this town for any other.Task 10【原文】Undoubtedly, Tibet is one of the harshest places for human existence. It is cool in summer but freezing cold in winter. In Lhasa, the mildest city temperature may exceed 29C in summer while plummeting to -16C in winter! Sun radiation is extremely strong in Tibet. The sunlight in Lhasa is so intense that the city is called Sunlight City. The thin air can neither block off nor retain heat so that the temperature extremes can be met in daytime and the same night respectively in Tibet. However it is not impossible to visit the holy snow land. April to October is the best time to visit Tibet, out of the coldest months, which are from December to February usually. The average temperature in north Tibet is subzero and winter arrives in October until the following May or June. July and August are the best time to visit the area, enjoying warm temperature, intense sunshine, beautiful scenery and festive events. May, June and September is the tourist season in east Tibet. In winter, roads are all blocked by heavy snow. Landslides and rock falls frequently occur, which will make travel difficult.。

2019-2020学年第二学期听力练习-听力原文Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In a world as fast-changing and full of information as our own, every one of us needs to know how to learn well. Yet evidence suggests that most of us don’t use the learning techniques that science has proved most effective. Worse, research finds that learning strategies we do commonly employ, like rereading and highlighting (突出标示), are among the least effective.Although highlighting and underlining are common practices, studies show they offer no benefit beyond simply reading the text. Some research even indicates that highlighting can get in the way of learning; because it draws attention to individual facts, it may interfere with the process of making connections and drawing inferences (推断). Nearly as bad is the practice of rereading, a common exercise that is much less effective than some of the better techniques you can use. Lastly, summarizing, or writing down the main points contained in a text, can be useful for those who are skilled at it, but it is also rated as being of low utility as there are far better ways to spend your study time.In contrast to familiar practices like highlighting and rereading, the learning techniques with the most evidence to support them aren’t well known outside the laboratory. Takedistributed practice, for example. This technique involves spreading out your study time, rather than engaging in one marathon (马拉松). Rote (死记硬背) at the last minute may allow you to get through that test or meeting, but the material will quickly disappear from memory. It’s much more effective to dip into the material at intervals over time.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times.

Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.People have always been interested in the lives of the wealthy and famous, but in recent years that interest has developed into widespread obsession (沉迷). Is this a good thing? It’s definitely not a good thing when the celebrity concerned is doing nothing but set a bad example.Celebrities and those in the public eye have a responsibility which few appear to acknowledge. Their behavior, the way they dress, the way they conduct themselves when out on the town, the cars they drive and the places they go on holiday are all seen by fans and followers as goals worth pursuing. It’s therefore not surprising that so many young people routinely use illegal substances, drink too much, are preoccupied with their appearances and care so little for the environment.I’m reminded that celebrities are people too. They are subject to the temptations, the anxieties and mental strain that everyone has to bear. But I think that it is high time that celebrities woke up to their responsibilities. If they want to be applauded for their work they must assume responsibility for therole model that they provide.Many celebrities are guilty of setting bad examples at one time or another. When will these people become aware of the fact that whatever they do will be copied by countless hundreds, thousands, even millions of people?While most people are sensible enough not to be overly influenced by such stories there are plenty who will hear these tales and see them as a green light. They’ll believe that it is perfectly OK to drive an environment killing car at breakneck speed on public roads because some thoughtless, selfish celebrity has bragged (吹嘘) about doing it.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times.

Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Every child has a social identity, which is how we perceive our various roles in society in relation to others. Whether it is through social position, culture, interests, achievements, or beliefs, children derive from their social identities a sense of pride, self-worth, and consistency. So, when it is rapidly changed, threatened, or questioned, it is no wonder that a child may become vulnerable (易受伤害的) to depression.Not all children who undergo changes of their social identities will experience depression. Instead, it is thought that those who identify with a limited number of social roles are more at risk of developing depression when a role is lost. This is not to say that a child cannot develop a new social identity, but it simply highlights the importance of how a child views himself in relationto the world around him.In order to have a social identity, we need people around us to confirm or deny. The people around us also influence our social identities and the way we feel about ourselves. If a child is very shy and withdrawn, it is likely that other children will pick up on her social cues and leave her alone, thus confirming him social identity as shy and withdrawn. In turn, she may lack satisfaction in her social role, feel lonely, or become frustrated trying to break free from that identity.As a parent, you can support your child’s social roles by acknowledging what and who is important to her. Try not to put too much emphasis on any one single social role. Instead, encourage him to try new and different things, and remind him of the other important roles that she plays in life.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times.

Hundreds of universities across the country are turning to email’s overactive youn ger brother –text messaging –to bridge the digital divide between administration and students. 90 percent of students carry cell phones and 70 percent use Short Message Service (SMS) technology, more commonly known as text messaging, on a regular basis, according to online statistics. Most university chief information officers agree that it makes sense to send urgent alerts to devices that students have with them all the time. Andin addition to having a far reach with college kids, text messages are delivered fast; unlike email, thousands of messages can be transmitted within a few minutes.But this hailed technology is not without problems. Getting students enrolled in a voluntary (自愿的) program is never easy. Students say that they’re reluctant to share their cell phone number with their institution for fear of receiving junk mail. Also, without unlimited message plans, messages can cost a cell phone owner 10-15 cents each, which hinders the program. Besides, students might also withdraw from the program or, if they get a new number, may not update their number in the school’s system.Meanwhile, technology has its share of problems – like the fact that messages are limited to 160 characters. A shorthand alert, brief instructions, and perhaps an indication to check the school’s website for more details is all that a text message can afford. Despite limitations, three text message alert companies formed in 2005 and are leading today’s higher education SMS market.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times.

When the financial markets fall, companies of all sizes announce plans to reduce their workforce, and job-seekers tend to get a bit worried about the job search they may face. It almost goes without saying that job-hunting in a boom economy ismuch easier than job-hunting in a slumping (暴跌) economy.What’s the most important aspect of job-hunting? Not resume building nor interviewing skills ... but networking. Networking is the perfect way to meet the professionals in your field who can offer you new perspectives on your industry and assist you in seeking new job opportunities. If you use your network properly, you will hear of multiple job opportunities, often before they are even listed.Some job-seekers shy away from networking because they think networking is equal to taking advantage of people, but if done correctly, networking can be a rewarding experience for all parties involved. Networking is not asking everyone you know for a job. Networking means developing a broad list of contacts and using them to your advantage when you look for a job. People in your network could be your family, friends, and people you’ve met through social and business situations. They may be able to give you job leads, offer you advice and information about a particular company or industry, and introduce you to others so that you can expand your network. When you have a network of professional contacts with whom you interact on a regular basis, your employment opportunities will grow greatly.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times.

This is especially true when the abuse is emotional, rather than physical.Noticing and acknowledging the signs of an abusive (虐待的) relationship is the first step to ending it.Domestic abuse occurs when one person in an intimate relationship or marriage tries to gain total control over the other person. Domestic violence and abuse does not discriminate. It occurs within all age ranges, ethnic (民族的) backgrounds, and economic levels. And while women are more common victims, men are also abused—especially verbally and emotionally, although sometimes even physically as well.When people talk about domestic violence, they are often referring to physical abuse, which is the use of physical force against someone in a way that injures that person. Physical abuse is a crime, and the police have the power and authority to protect you from physical attack. But not all abusive relationships involve violence. Many men and women suffer from emotional abuse, which is no less destructive, but often neglected—even by the person being abused.Emotional abuse includes verbal abuse such as yelling, name-calling, blaming, and shaming. Isolation, intimidation, and controlling behavior also fall under emotional abuse. Additionally, abusers who use emotional or psychological abuse often throw in threats of physical violence if you don’t do what they want.You may think that physical abuse is far worse than emotional abuse, since physical violence can send you to the hospital and leave you with scars. But emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse—sometimes even more so because the scars of emotional abuse are real and run deep.。

Unit 8 Right and Wrong on the NetIntroductionTEACHER: Good morning. Did anyone hear the news about the teenager in New York who hacked into a bank’s database and stole about 30,000 credit card numbers over the weekend? Hacking is related to computer ethics－that’s our topic today. Computer ethics deals with the proper use of information technology, such as computers and the Internet. By proper use, I mean socially responsible use. We’ll first talk about what ethical behavior is and how this applies to computer use.Body: Part 1First, I want to make sure we all know what ethics is. Anyone? Yes, John.STUDENT l: It’s about right and wrong.TEACHER: Yes. OK, Jennifer.STUDENT 2: And it’s about being a good person, doing what’s right.TEACHER: Yes, ethics includes both of these ideas. It deals with moral judgments, with what is acceptable or unacceptable to do. Now we learn ideas about what is right and wrong from our families, our friends, and from the culture we live in. Because of differences in our backgrounds, we may not always agree on what is right and wrong. However, for our discussion today, I will define for you what I mean by an ethical action. An ethical action is something someone does that benefits someone and doesn’t hurt anyone. So, for example, if you see a man drop some money, and you pick the money up and give it to him, this is an ethical action. On the other hand, if you pick up the money and don’t give it back to the man, this benefits you, but hurts the man. This is not an ethical action.Body: Part 2Now what about computers? What are the ethical boundaries for using computers and the Internet? Most people agree that it is wrong to steal from a store. Would they also say it’s wrong to copy music files from the Internet? Or, to take another example, most people agree that it is wrong to open an envelope and read a letter to someone else. Would they also say it’s wrong to read someone else’s e-mail? In the past decade or so, many more people have started using computers and the Internet, so these issues have become important. In 1992, the Computer Ethics Institute was founded in the United States. This is a research, education, and policy study group whose goal is to increase awareness of the ethical issues that are likely to come up as technology develops. One concept the Computer Ethics Institute has developed is the Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics. These rules are important guidelines the Institute thinks all computer users should follow. Now some of you may be familiar with the Ten Commandments from the Bible, like, uh, “Thou shalt not kill” or “Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother.” The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics have been written in the same style of language used in the Ten Commandments from the Bible. For example, they use the phrase “Thou shalt not.” “Thou shalt not” means don’t or you shouldn’t.Body: Part 3Let’s look at each commandment or rule. The first commandment says: Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people. Simple enough, right? Number Two. Thou shalt not interfere with other people’s computer work. I interpret this to mean don’t use a computer in any way that will affect or change the work someone else is doing. Don’t move or edit someone else’s files without telling them. Number Three. Thou shalt not snoop in other people’s files. To snoop means to try to find out something without another person knowing it. If you look at someone else’s files on the computer or read their e-mail, you’re snooping. Respect other people’s privacy. Number Four. Thou shalt not use a computer to steal. There are situations on the Internet in which you have to decide if you are stealing or not, like downloading music files, as I mentioned earlier. Number Five. Thou shalt not use a computer to say things that are untrue. It is up to you to be truthful in your website, in your e-business, and in your e-mail. Number Six. Thou shalt not use software for which you have not paid. In other words, if the software is free on the Internet, it’s okay to download and use it. However, it is not okay to copy software from a friend, because you didn’t pay for it. Number Seven. Thou shalt not use other people’s computer resources without telling them, or without paying them. For example, you shouldn’t use someone else’s computer, password, or Internet connection without asking them first. Number Eight. Thou shalt not appropriate someone else’s ideas. Appropriate is spelled A-P-P-R-O-P-R-I-A-T-E. . . . It means to take words someone else wrote and say they’re yours. Uh, for example, you have to write a report for school. If you copy a term paper from the Internet and hand it in, you’re breaking the rule. Copying even a few sentences off the Internet and presenting them as your own is breaking the rule. Number Nine. The ninth commandment says: Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you are writing. Now, this applies mostly to computer programmers. Social consequences means how the program you’re writing might affect others in society. Could hackers possibly use your program to illegally gain access to a computer system? Skillful hackers can hack into banks and into credit card companies; they can alter accounts and steal money. They can also create viruses that can cause billions of dollars of damage worldwide. Number Ten. The tenth commandment says: Thou shalt always use a computer in ways that are respectful of others. For example, sending unfriendly e-mail to someone or about someone or creating websites with negative messages are examples of breaking this rule.Body: Part 4OK, the Computer Ethics Institute has sent these guidelines to many large companies and to schools across the United States. However, there’s no way to enforce these rules. Nevertheless, they would like to see schools, in particular, utilize these rules to help students develop a strong sense of computer ethics. OK, any questions or comments at this point?STUDENT 1: How are we supposed to remember all those rules?TEACHER: Well, there are a lot of rules, but they all boil down to a couple of principles: respect and fairness. Respect what belongs to others and use resources fairly. Does that help?STUDENT 1: Yeah, I guess so.TEACHER: Good. Let’s go back to ethics. Now increasingly, schools are seeing that students need to be taught computer ethics as part of the school curriculum. Some schools have come up with acceptable-use policies, or rules about what is or isn’t OK for students to do regarding computer use. This is how the Computer Ethics Institute would like to see schools utilizing the rules. Generally, it’s considered wrong to steal someone else’s password or to read someone else’s e-mail. It’s also considered unacceptable in college classes for a student to download a term paper off the Internet and pretend that he or she wrote it. This is called “plagiarism,” and it’s a good example of breaking rule number eight. Students are permitted to use the Internet for research, but are instructed to write the information in their own words and to explain where they got the information.ConclusionNow the ten rules are guidelines for us to follow. These rules help us to be aware of the ethical uses of technology. Let’s stop here for today. Think about these rules this week and we’ll talk about them. And read the next two chapters for next week.。
大二上学期英语口语
大二上学期英语口语My name is Liu Jianing, and my school number is 1513032095. My question is……and my answer is……1.Who is the person that made a big impression on you?The person that made a big impression on me is Brad Pitt. He is a famous Hollywood actor and has got several prizes for his superb work in movies. I am a huge fan of his movies.Honestly he is a good actor who is known world-wide. He is around 50 years old now. For his excellent performance in acting he has received a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and three Academy Award up to now. He has done some film production works as well. He is a fine actor with a natural gift of depicting the characters. Often his performance in movies gets very high applauses and because of that he was nominated for Oscars more than once.I have enjoyed most of the movies acted by him and his performance in movies like Seven, Interview with the vampire, The legend of the falls, 7 years in Tibet, Meet Joe Black was simply excellent. I find him to be a very high class actor and a superb person with his tremendous activity in social welfare works. All these reasons make him to be the most impressive person in my eyes.2.What are the ways to bridge the generation gap?There is no denying that the generation gap remains for a long time. At first, let’s learn more about the generation gap. The generation gap is differences between people of younger generations and their elders, especially between children and their parents.The gap remains for many reasons. Chidren want to be free to choose their own things and generally run their own life in a more independent way than many parents allow. Also, young children wish to be understood by their parents, but most parents don’t quite understand their children.But what can we do to bridge the generation gap? In my opinion, most problems between parents and children could be solved by joint efforts of both sides to enhance mutual understanding. Both parts should try to understand and show respect to each other. Besides, parents should spare more time to communicate with their children so that they can learn about their children’s personalities and ideas. At the same time, a looser educational environment should be created and free speech should be advocated. What’s more, from the perspective of chidren, they should put themselves in their parents’ shoes and listen to the advice of parents appropriately.Only in these measures can the serious problem be solved step by step , and the generation gap can be bridged successfully.3.What is your most treasured possession?Many people believe that money is the most important thing in life. It seems impossible to live without money in contemporary society. Just like the old Chinese saying goes, money makes the mare go. Making more money has become a major goal in the eye of some people. They value money more than anything else in the world.But from my perspective, my most treasured possessions are books. As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. I think reading is important in the whole life for people. There are many benefits of reading. Firstly, reading increases our knowledge and we can learn the world affairs without going out. Secondly, reading is a good way to improve reading and writing skills. Before you learn to write, you must know how others write. Thirdly, reading can broaden our knowledge and horizon, which is important to job hunting in the future. Finally, reading helps us become self-cultivation that would be beneficial to our whole life. Therefore, start to reading, no matter how old you are and what you are doing. Then, you may find the great charm and benefits of reading. Reading is a good thing,but we must pay great attention to the choice of books.This is the reason why I think books are my most treasured possesions.4.What is the most challenging thing you’ve ever done?“What is the most challenging thing you’ve done in your life?” The question was put to me during the preparation for English oral examination. The answer came to me in an instant. It’s not because of my superb memory, but the experience is quite unforgettable. Here is the true answer:The most challenging thing I’ve ever done occurred on October 8,2015.I participated in the school English speech contest on behalf of my class. As to take part in the speech competition, I prepared much for a month. Firstly, I asked my English teacher about her advice to my topic. Then, I searched the Internet for the material. Also, I asked for help to perfect my speech after I have finished it. At last, I recited and practised my performance before my classmates again and again.With the competition day coming, I got more and more nervous. And my parents kept encouraging me. When I stepped on the stage. I was frightened at first. For a moment I just stood there, paralyzed. Then I tried to figure out what I should do. Leave the stage? There was nothing I could accomplish then, I convinced myself. I almost cried out, with my blank brain. At this moment, I saw my parents and other kind people, and then I became confident. I tried my best to think of the words I want to say, and finally I got the third prize.This is the most challenging thing I have done.5.What do you think is the secret of a successful marriage?There is no doubt that everyone dreams of having a successful, happy marriage, is there? But how can we do to develop a successful marriage? Below, I am going to give you some of my tips on the secrets.As far as I’m concerned, it’s not diamonds and flowers that make a relationship remain as warm, loving and intimate as it was at the start. It’s the little things. Just take our partners for example. If there is something you appreciate about your partner, from the way he or she makes scrambled eggs to how hard he or she is working on decorating the bedroom, speak up. Praise provides a reminder of your love.Besides, communication and trust also plays important roles in the development of a successful marriage. That’s to say, no relationship can succeed without these two. You need to be able to talk to your partner about anything right from small things to your future plans. And trust is just as important. Not just to trust your partner but to be trustworthy. Please bear in mind, once lost, trust is hard to win back.In conclusion, only when we bear love in mind, can we master the secrets of a successful relationship.6.What is the most unforgettable place you’ve visited?I’m really fond of visiting different places. It can enlarge my horizon. If we go in a package tour, we will never get lost. We can eat a lot of local food, and buy some local merchandise. We can breathe fresh air in the forest. But it will take us much time and money to travel. And we will face many dangers in the wild. Also we will be very tired after the tour.But to be honest, the most unforgettable place I have visited is saierde youth hostel in Xi’an province. Though I am a picky tourist, the youth hostel can make me satisfy. The youth hostel is home to all tourists from different places and it provides an opportunity to meet many like-minded friends. Besides, the youth hostel is accessible by several buses and subway lines and it hence can be reached within ten minutes from downtown. It is convenient, isn’t it? The owner of the hostel is very enthusiastic and talktaive, and more importantly, he is a Tibetan, you can understand different culture of different nationalities by communicating with him. Last but not least, the cost of the hostel is quite reasonable, so that you can save more money to visit this city.After all,as a famous city with profound historical and cultural significance in China, Xi’an enjoys a history that can be dated back to several thousand years ago.It is worthy of visiting.I’m absolutely keen on staying at the hostle.7.What do you think contributes to good health?The desire for good health is universal. Especially nowadays, the possession of good health is regarded by nearly everyone as essential to a happy life as well as a successful one. Only in good shape can you expect to live comfortably or work effectively. In contrast, without good health, ambitious and promising as a person may be, he will eventually turn out to be a wreckage of modern life.So, what can we do to stay healthy? From my perspective, enough time should be set aside for perse vering in exercises in addition to sleep and rest. Second,you must give up the habits that damage your health, such as smoking and drinking too much alcohol. Finally, be sure to have your physical checkup regularly. Whenever you are found to haveany disease,you should have it timely treated.Just take me for example, since it is harmful for our health to play cell phones on the bed, I have remembered to turn off the phones before sleep. Besides, it is important for us to have a balanced diet. In addition, I have participated in a Taekwondo community and stick to training. Because of these exercises, the circulation of blood has been increased and my immune system has been enhanced.It is not difficult for us to stay healthy . Try to get to bed earlier, eat proper food and do exercises everyday, and you will possess a healthy body.8.Do you think it necessary to involve parents in the education program?First I think that the answer of the question is yes. Teenagers sometimes do not behave themselves so well, so they need their parents to join in. They have their own thoughts of things and they can share the same topic or subjects when they make a conversation or chat with each other.In a word,it is neccessary to involve parents in the education program.Just take me for example, I’m really fond of my family education. All this reminds me of my mother who has done whatever she could to let me have the best. But she never gives unlimited allowance to satisfy my requirements. Besides, as other families, my parents also want me to become somebody or to live better when I grow up, but they pay more attention to the training of behaviors and manners instead of studies. In addition, one-child family let my parents have more time and energy to accompany with me.Because of my family education, my learning abilities improved and I knew more about the world. And more importantly, I always think that I am not good enough, so I show a big patience to learn from everything,. All these qualities make me develop friendships with many people. I’m grateful to grow up in my family.9.How do you treat a disabled friend?Disabled people are normal people, except that they can not see as much as we can, or they can not walk as fast as we can. Since they can not see as much, or they can not walk as fast, they need our help.We can immediately do a long list of ways in which we can help them, for instance, Each student finds some one to help, in the neighborhood or the community. You can help them to cross the road. You can help pushing their wheel chairs. l Set up kind of organization. Collect some money. Use this money to help them, to buy them daily necessities, to help their children finish school. As they are disabled, it is more difficult for them to earn as much as normal people do. That’s why they usually need help in physical things. As they are disabled, they feel lonely. They think they are not as good as normal people. They easily become lonely, sad, disappointed. They easily lose hope of life. They need help more in spiritual things. They need people to chat with. They need people to encourage them to continue their lives. They need people to get rid of prejudices over them. Now, I would suggest, do whatever we can to help them. We can donate our pocket money. We can walk up to help the disabled to cross the street. We can make friends with the disabled by visiting them, by calling them, by emailing them, by whatever means. However, don’t always think we are better than the disabled. As normal people, we always make normal mistakes10.Is there any relation between one’s academic performances at school with their future achievement?YES.Academic performance is the outcome of education-the extent to which a student, teacher or institution has achieved their educational goals. Academic achievement is commonly measured by examinations or continuous assessment, including daily class work, course related projects and papers, and practical work. As we all know, academic performance is an important measure of a student’s ability to learn. Although people’s academic achievement can not explain everything, but their ability to learn, telling them the future development plays decisive role in. One’s exellent habits of study and his ability to think independently are developed at the age of being a student. The extrodinary academic achievement could show these abilities and motivate them to achieve better results.I believe such performance may contribute to the final achievement indeed, but it is not that wise to judge a person only by his academic display. Everybody could be talented, but not always on those subjects that we learn in school. Thus, what we should do is not only check the paper of school only, but also find out whether the person really fits the job or the subject.Is there any relation between one’s academic performances at scool with their future achievemetn? Different experience will give us different answers. From my perspective, the answer is that the road of success is a tough process supported by what you’ve abtained from school, especially the whole age of being a student. Extrodinary academic achievement is one of the greatest power we can get bravery and courage. Because all of them put together would remind us of something about dreams, hope, the essential qualities we ought to have and wonderful experiences whatever it is successful or not.。
