1、1. Preserving Our EnvironmentMan is slowly polluting his environment. He dirties the air with waste gases; he poisons the water with chemical wastes; he damages the soil with fertilizers. Pollution does great harm to man. As we know, air, water and soil are necessary to mans survival. Polluted air,
2、water and soil make people sick and even cause deaths. Environmental pollution is becoming one of the most serious problems that mankind faces. Now its high time drastic action was taken. First, we should make the public aware of the dangers caused by pollution. Second, we should take pollution cont
3、rol measures to reduce pollution. Third, we should keep our pollution under control. After all, the earth is our home. We must take care of it for ourselves and our descendants.2.Job-hopping（跳槽）You quit again? Whats your new job? Job-hopping has become a hot topic among people, especially the young,
4、 and has caused many heated debates. Many people like to do one job in their lifetime. In their opinion, people who change their job frequently are superficial. They believe that the only way to success is to stick to one job. Constant practice in a professional field helps make an expert. But there
5、 are many people who dont agree. They agree that change makes progress. If you are not satisfied with your present job, of course you have the right to replace it with a more challenging and better paid one, every change is a step toward further success. For my part, I think it reasonable to change
6、your job if you have a better opportunity, but once you have found a position where you can fully display your ability, you should settle down and put you whole heart into it. Only in this way can you get the true joy of achieving your goals.3. Study AbroadIn recent years, studying abroad has flouri
7、shed （活跃，兴盛） .Thousands of scholars and students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are sparing no effort不遗余力in applying for going abroad. Attending schools abroad has many advantages. In the first place, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators （调停者；传递者；）between peopl
8、e of different cultures so as to promote international understanding. Secondly, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from the foreign countries. Thirdly, we can enjoy the contact with new and different cultures so as to increase the awareness of our own culture. Fourth
9、ly, we can learn a foreign language more quickly. However, studying abroad may have disadvantages such as language barrier in the first few months or financial difficulties before getting a scholarship. In spite of these, the advantages greatly outweigh（比重要）the disadvantages. It is advisable to atte
10、nd schools abroad.4. Private SchoolsMore and more private schools are being set up in China these days, ending the state monopoly（垄断者） of the countrys education system. Although private schools are still in the experimental stage and are much more expensive as compared with public schools. There is
11、no lack of application for enrollment. People welcome private schools for good reasons. First of all, those schools are relieving our government of part of the burdens of financing so many schools. Secondly, parents are willing to send their only child to better schools even if it costs more. And ha
12、ving more money than the government-funded public schools, these private schools can attract better teachers. They can also offer better environments, including superior living facilities and more advanced teaching equipment. However, adequate money doesnt guarantee good education. If not well guide
13、d and properly disciplined, the privileged young children might turn out to be new aristocrats, and therefore unfit for our highly competitive modern society.5. The Internet in ChinaWith the arrival of the knowledge economy age, the Internet, as a new media, has come into our life. Nowadays, getting
14、 on line and using the Internet has become popular in China, especially in some big cities. Why is the Internet getting so popular in such a short time? The popularity of the Internet results from its great utility. With the Internet, it is convenient and fast for people to get a variety of informat
15、ion and what the need is just to press key buttons. E-mail is another popular use. It can transmit your letter quickly, safely and accurately. Besides, the Internet can have some other uses. Doctors may use it to diagnose and treat their patients by discussing or exchanging experience with doctors i
16、n other parts of the world. Students may obtain new knowledge from a national-long-distance-educational-system via the Internet. Finally, businessmen can conduct E-commerce or E-business on the Net. With so many uses and advantages, there is no doubt more and more people will be wired to Internet-th
17、e information expressway. In short, with its high speed and efficiency, the Internet will be more popular in China in the near future.6. The Positive and Negative Aspects of ExamsAs everything has two sides, the existing examination system is not all bad. It certainly has many positive aspects. To b
18、egin with, exam is an effective means to assess students knowledge and proficiency and to evaluate teachers teaching level. Besides, it can help students find out their strong and weak points in learning and make their knowledge permanent. Most important of all, its often served as a motive to drive
19、 students to study hard, and get well prepared academically for the future competition. However, its often blamed for its obvious defects. First, exams are always over-stressed as the aim of both learning and teaching. Thus the exam system is often blamed for the formation of the traditional exam or
20、iented education system. Second, exams are always associated with promotion to a higher grade or admittance to college. Therefore, they are heavily responsible for the present exam-assessment system. Finally, because the system leads to students heavy study load and it mainly produces students with
21、high scores and poor abilities, its always the target of criticism and focus of reform. In a word, the disadvantages do outweigh advantages. Its urgent to reform the existing examination system in the new century.7. OpportunitySome people regard opportunity as the most important part of their life.
22、Its the way to success. So when they see their friends succeed, they will complain that they are not lucky enough to have the opportunity. But other people think that opportunity is luck, with their hard work, knowledge and skill, opportunity will be waiting for them everywhere. Although the attitud
23、es towards opportunity are different, opportunity is important indeed, and no one should neglect. It can make a person successful. We should grasp every valuable opportunity and make good use of it; otherwise nothing can be left with us but regret and disappointment. But I think it is not opportunit
24、y itself that decides a persons success or failure. It is fair to every person, I think. To grasp the opportunity, we need knowledge, methods, skill and experience. In a word, opportunity is important but not decisive.8. HackersNowadays, hackers, the terrific cyber criminals often hack into Websites
25、 for various purposes. Some malicious hackers execute assaults on computers chiefly for financial purposes. Still some others hit Websites either to test their skills or to tease the cyber experts for fun. Hackers have various targets of their Web attacks. Some super hackers can penetrate almost all
26、 the sites on the Web. And they enjoy hacking into the safest Websites and government agencies on the Web. Therefore, their first target is the Pentagon, which is visited by unwelcome guests for about 20,000 times a year. Interestingly enough even White House can fall victim to hackers. Other hacker
27、s aim at attacking the big-guest E-commerce sites. A case in point is that Sian. Com has been harassed by hackers. Another case in point is that even the largest World-wide Website, Yahoo was once forced to shut down. As a result, they cause great financial losses each year. However, its high time f
28、or us to take all the effective measures to hunt and battle hackers. First, we should deprive them of their tools, such as scans, sniffers etc., with which they can spot out some weaknesses on the Web and make the attacks. Besides, we should work out and enhance the law management on the Web and inc
29、rease the punishment of hackers. Finally, we should further develop encryption and try to build more firewalls in order to lock the hackers out.9. on Birth ControlAfter two decades of a baby boom, China made it a practice in the early 1970s that one family can only have one child. It is quite necess
30、ary considering the greater pressure the country feels from the fast increasing number of people. Yet ever since then, people at home and abroad have voiced different opinions about it. Most people say that we should turn to strict birth control, as we are approaching the limit of the number of peop
31、le the nation can support adequately. But there are others who argue that if birth control is imposed on the population, the future of the Chinese would be seriously endangered. They think that very intelligent people would be more likely to have fewer children, and this would bring about a lowering
32、 of the general level of intelligence in the population. This argument, however, does not hold water. For they fail to recognize that in addition to gene, intelligence also depends on an adequate diet, a good education and a decent home environment. And all these things are in danger of being denied
33、 as our population is increasing faster than job opportunities. If we want to improve the quality of our lives; everyone to be healthy, wealthy and happy; and if we want to see a prosperous, powerful nation in the world, strict birth control is quite essential.10. The InternetThe later part of the 1
34、990s finds the words the Internet become fashionable in people daily life. The Internet is a network of thousands of networks, linking schools, universities, businesses, government agencies, libraries and millions of individuals. Something like Information superhighways, the Internet can bring many
35、conveniences into the school, home and office. College students can check the card catalogue of Library of Congress in the United States to finish their papers. Housewives can do shopping and pay bills without leaving their homes. Businessmen can sign a contract and land an order through electronic
36、media. Patients can reach the worlds leading authorities and experts on the disease they may suffer from. Men and women can have a conversation with people all over the world by sending and receiving E-mail. With a basic computer and modem any individual can call up information about almost anything
37、 from almost anywhere and almost anytime. The Internet exerts such a profound effect on our life, that it revolutionizes the way of peoples living and thinking.11. Fake CommoditiesNowadays, more and more fake commodities appear on the market, a problem which has attracted a lot of attention. Fake co
38、mmodities are very harmful to consumers. There are different types, ranging from food and clothes to radios, and TV sets. Even some medicines are fake too, which has caused a lot of trouble. In addition, fake commodities have affected the manufacturers, too. Those who have fallen victim to fake comm
39、odities will never buy them again. There are many ways to get rid of fake commodities. First, laws should be passed to punish those who produce fake commodities. Second, people should be educated to tell the original from the fake. They shouldnt buy something just because the advertisements tell the
40、m to do so. In a word, the whole society should pay close attention to the problem of fake commodities and fight a battle against them. Only in this way can fake commodities be driven out of our daily life completely in the future.12. Foreign Language LearningLearning foreign language is of great si
41、gnificance today. The mastery of foreign languages enables us to communicate with people of other countries, achieve mutual understanding and further our trading contact, economic cooperation, and cultural and academic exchange with other countries. By means of foreign languages, we read foreign boo
42、ks, documents and data in original, draw new ideas and fresh thoughts, and introduce advanced science and technology into our country. So foreign languages are playing an important role in our efforts to enlarge Chinas influence and make greater contribution to mankind. There is great popular intere
43、st in foreign languages learning in our country. More and more people start to learn foreign languages. Everywhere we can see people reading aloud English and listening to a tape recorder. And there are English corners and clubs where language learners seize the chance to practice speaking. To satis
44、fy peoples need, many foreign textbooks and references have been introduced into our country. Equally remarkable are foreign language programs on TV that attract a large audience. The mastery of a foreign language needs painstaking efforts. One can never have a good command of it overnight. One the
45、contrary, he has to spend enough time and take great pains before he can make real progress. It is not unusual that in the face of difficulties, a person gets so frustrated as to give in. But where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you persevere in your learning and practice hard, you will
46、 surely bring your study to fruition.13. The ComputerThe computer is widely used in all phases of society. In industry, business, education, medicine, nearly all walks of life, computers have made their appearance, providing great speed and accuracy for our work. Computers have been used in the home
47、, offices, laboratories and research institutions, functioning as the most efficient and versatile instruments for calculating, sorting, filling, recording. Computers are indispensable to modern civilization. Without computers, our life and our society will suffer a big regression. During the past f
48、ive decades the computer has been rapidly advanced. Ever since the computer came into being, it has experienced the development of several generations, which are based respectively on vacuum tube, transistor and integrated circuit. Early computers were of great size, and had no match for the latest
49、electronic computers in speed and accuracy. The latter is capable of processing the most complicated information and reaching solution to problems in a fraction of time. At present, efforts are being made not only to bring the hardware to perfection, but also to improve the quality of the software. Computers must be instructed and programmed by people. In spite of the remarkable skill of the computer, men can never become its slave. Computers are not creative. They work according to mens instr
