大学英语作文1
From the various houses we can see candlelight but no electricity. There's a quiet that blankets the whole area, disturbed only by the almost whispered of the people as they stand around. CHARLIE stares across at GOODMAN's house.
Sally (a little timid): It doesn't seem right, though, keeping watch on them. Why, he was right when he said he was one of our neighbors. Why, I've known Ethel Goodman ever since they moved in. We've been good friends—
Charlie: That doesn't prove a thing. Any guy who'd spend his time looking up at the sky early in the morning—well, there's something wrong with that person. Maybe under normal circumstances we could let it go by, but these aren't normal circumstances.
(STEVE, from several yards away, walks down the steps of his porch, and down the street over to LES GOODMAN's house. He stops at the foot of the steps. GOODMAN stands there. MRS. GOODMAN stands behind him, very frightened.)
Goodman: Just stay right where you are, Steve. We don't want any trouble, but this time if anybody sets foot on my porch—that's what they're going to get—trouble!
Steve: Look, Les—
Goodman: I've already explained to you people. I don't sleep very well at night sometimes. I get up and I take a walk and I look up at the sky. I look at the stars! Mrs.
Goodman: That's exactly what he does. Why, this whole thing, it's... it's madness.
Steve (nods): That's exactly what it is—some kind of madness.
Charlie's voice (shrill, from across the street): You'd better watch who you're seen with, Steve! Until we get this all straightened out, you aren't exactly above suspicion yourself.
Steve (whirling around toward him): Or you, Charlie. Or any of us. From age eight and up!
Woman: What I'd like to know is—what are we going to do? Just stand around here all night?
Charlie: There's nothin' else we can do!
Steve (raising his voice): There's something you can do, Charlie. You could go
home and keep your mouth shut. You could quit walking around like a self-appointed hanging judge and just climb into bed and forget it.
Charlie: You sound real anxious to have that happen, Steve. I think we'd better keep our eye on you, too!
Don: I think everything might as well come out now. (He turns toward STEVE.)
Your wife's done plenty of talking, Steve, about how odd you are!
Charlie (picking this up, his eyes widening): Go ahead, tell us what she's said.
(STEVE walks toward them from across the street.)
Steve: Go ahead, what's my wife said? Let's get it all out. Let's pick out every unusual habit of every single man, woman, and child on the street. And then we might as well set up some kind of a kangaroo court. How about a firing squad at dawn, Charlie, so we can get rid of all the suspects?
Don: There's no need getting so upset, Steve. It's just that... well... Myra's talked about how there's been plenty of nights you spent hours down in your basement workin' on some kind of radio.
(By this time STEVE has reached the group. He stands there defiantly close to them.)
Charlie: Go ahead, Steve. What kind of "radio set" are you workin'on? Who do you talk to on the radio set? And who talks to you?
Steve: I'm surprised at you, Charlie. How come you're so dense all of a sudden? (a pause) Who do I talk to? I talk to monsters from outer space. I talk to three—headed green men who fly over here in what look like meteors.
(MRS. BRAND steps down from the porch, bites her lip, calls out.)
Mrs. Brand: Steve! Steve, please. (Then looking around frightened, she walks to ward the group.) It's just a ham radio set. A lot of people have them. I can show it to you. It's right down in the basement.
Steve (whirls around toward her): Show them nothing! If they want to look inside our house—let them get a search warrant.
Charlie: Look, man, you can't afford to—
Steve (interrupting): Don't start telling me who's dangerous and who isn't, and who's safe and who's a menace. (He turns to the group and shouts.) And you're with him, too—all of you! You're standing here all set to find a scapegoat—all desperate to point a finger at a neighbor! Well now, look, friends, the only thing that's going to happen is that we'll eat each other up alive—
(He stops abruptly as CHARLIE suddenly grabs his arm.)
Charlie (in a hushed voice): That's not the only thing that can happen to us. (A figure suddenly materializes in the darkness. In the silence we can hear the slow, measured footsteps on concrete as the figure walks slowly toward them. One of the women lets out a stifled cry.)
Tommy (shouting, frightened): It's the monster! It's the monster!
(The people fall back in a group, staring toward the darkness and the approaching figure. DON MARTIN joins them, carrying a shotgun. He holds it up.)
Don: We may need this.
Steve: A shotgun? (He pulls it out of DON 's hand.) Will you people wise up? What good would a shotgun do against—
(CHARLIE pulls the gun from STEVE's hand.)
Charlie: No more talk, Steve. You're going to talk us into a grave! You'd let whatever's out there walk right over us, wouldn't you? Well, some of us won't!
(He swings the gun around to point it toward the sidewalk. The dark figure continues to walk toward them. CHARLIE slowly raises the gun. As the figure gets closer, he pulls the trigger. The sound explodes in the stillness. The figure lets out a small cry, falls forward first onto his knees, and then on his face. DON, CHARLIE, and STEVE run over to him. STEVE is there first and turns the man over. The crowd gathers around them.)
Steve (slowly looks up): It's Pete Van Horn.
Don (in a hushed voice): Pete Van Horn! He was just going to go over to the next block to see if the power was on.
Woman: You killed him, Charlie. You shot him dead!
Charlie (looks around at the circle of faces, his eyes frightened): But. . . but I didn't know who he was. I certainly didn't know who he was. He comes walkin' out of the darkness—how am I supposed to know who he was? (He grabs STEVE.) Steve—you know why I shot! How was I supposed to know he wasn't a monster or something?
(He grabs DON.) We're all scared of the same thing. I was just tryin'to. . . tryin'to protect my home, that's all! (He looks down wildly at the body.) I didn't know it was somebody we knew! I didn't know...
(There 's a sudden hush in the group. Across the street all the lights go on in one of the houses.)
Woman (in a very hushed voice): Charlie... Charlie... the lights just went on in your house. Why did the lights go on?
Don: What about it, Charlie? How come you're the only one with lights now?
Goodman: That's what I'd like to know.
(There's a pause as they all stare toward CHARLIE.)
Goodman: You were so quick to kill, Charlie, and you were so quick to tell us who we had to be careful of. Well, maybe you had to kill. Maybe Pete there was trying to tell us something, to tell us who there was amongst us we should watch out for—
(CHARLIE backs away from the group, his eyes wide with fright.)
Charlie: No... no...it's nothing of the sort! I don't know why the lights are on. I swear I don't. Somebody's making a joke or something.
(He bumps against STEVE, who grabs him and furns him around.)
Steve: A joke? Charlie, there's a dead man on the sidewalk, and you killed him!
Does this thing look like a gag to you?
(CHARLIE breaks away and screams as he runs toward his house.)
(A man breaks away from the crowd to run after CHARLIE. The man tackles him and lands on top of him. The other people start to run toward them. CHARLIE gets up on his feet, breaks away from the other man's grasp and jumps up on his front porch. A rock thrown from the group smashes a window alongside of him. The broken glass flies past him. A couple of pieces cut him. He stands there, blood running down from a cut on his cheek. His wife breaks away from the group and throws herself into his arms. We can see the crowd moving in on the porch.)
First Voice: It must have been him.
Second Voice: He's the one.
Third Voice: We've got to get Charlie.
(Another rock lands on the porch. CHARLIE pushes his wife behind him and faces the group.)
Charlie: Look, look, I swear to you... it isn't me... but I do know who it is. I swear to you. I know who the monster is here.
Don: All right, Charlie, let's hear it!
Second Man (screaming): Go ahead, Charlie; tell us.
Charlie: It's...it's the kid. It's Tommy.
Sally: That's crazy. He's only a boy.
Woman: But he knew! He was the only one who knew! He told us all about it. Well, how could he have known?
(People in the crowd take this up and repeat the question aloud.)
First Voice: How could he know?
Second Voice: Who told him?
Third Voice: Make the kid answer.
(Sally grabs TOMMY and starts to run with him. The crowd starts to follow, at first walking fast, and then running after them. Suddenly CHARLIE's lights go off, and the lights in another house go on.)
Man (shouting): It isn't the kid...it's Bob Weaver's house.
Woman: No, it's Don Martin's place.
Charlie: I tell you it's the kid.
Don: It's Charlie. He's the one.
(Various people shout, accuse each other, scream. House lights go on and off.)
Scene Two
In a nearby field sits a space craft in darkness. An open door throws out a beam of light from the inside. Two figures appear.
First Figure: Understand the procedure now? Just stop a few of their machines and radios and telephones and lawn mowers... throw them into darkness for a few hours, and then just sit back and watch the effect.
Second Figure: And this effect is always the same?
First Figure: With little difference. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find. . .and it's themselves.
Second Figure: Then I take it this place...this Maple Street...is not an exception.
First Figure: By no means. Their world is full of Maple Streets. And we 'll go from one to the other and let them destroy themselves. One to the other...one to the other...one to the other...
各家各户都亮起了蜡烛，没有电。寂静笼罩了整个社区，只能听到人们站在那里小声说话的声音。夏利的目光越过街道，盯着古德曼的房屋。
萨莉（有点儿害怕）：看起来不对劲儿，盯紧他们。为什么，他说他是我们的邻居，这是对的？为什么，从他们搬来我就了解埃塞尔.古德曼的，我们一直是好朋友...
夏利：这说明不了什么。这个总是大清早盯着天空看的家伙...他有点儿问题。或许一般情况下我们会忽略这一点，但是现在不正常。
（史蒂夫从几码之外走下门廊的台阶，沿街走到勒思.古德曼的房前，他在台阶前停下来。古德曼站在那里，古德曼夫人害怕地站在他身后。）
古德曼：就站在那里别动，史蒂夫。我们不想有什么麻烦，但是这次如果有人踏上我家门廊...他就会有麻烦的！
史蒂夫：听着，勒思...
古德曼：我已经跟你们解释了，有时候晚上睡不好，我会起来散步，看看天空，我看的是星星！夫人。
史蒂夫（点头）：确实是...有点疯狂。
夏利的声音（尖叫，从街对面传过来）：你最好清楚大家是怎么看待你的，史蒂夫！在所有的事情澄清之前，你根本不是无可怀疑的！
史蒂夫（转向他）：或者是你，或者我们中的哪个，八岁以上的哪个人！
妇女：我想知道的是--我们在这里做什么？站一整夜吗？
夏利：除此之外没什么可做的！
史蒂夫（抬高嗓音）：你有事做的，夏利。你可以回家，闭上嘴。你可以像个自己做主判处绞刑的法官那样爬到床上，忘掉这件事。
夏利：看来你真的希望这样，史蒂夫。我想我们最好也盯住你！
顿：我希望最好现在就真相大白。（他转向史蒂夫。）你妻子总说你如何的古怪！
夏利（听到这里，他瞪大双眼）：快说，她怎么说的！
（史蒂夫从街对面走向人群。）
史蒂夫：说，我妻子怎么说的？一切都说清楚，让我们找出街上每个男人、女人、孩子的不寻常的习惯。我们还可以设立个私设法庭之类的。天亮时成立个行刑队怎么样，夏利？这样我们就可以免受怀疑?
顿：没必要这么紧张，史蒂夫。只是...麦拉很多个晚上你总在地下室摆弄些无线电什么的。
（这时史蒂夫走到人群跟前，挑战地站在他们面前。）
夏利：说吧，史蒂夫。你在摆弄哪种“无线电”呢？你在无线电里跟谁说话呢？谁在跟你说话呢？
史蒂夫：我对你感到吃惊，夏利。你怎么突然变得这么愚蠢呢？（顿了下）谁跟我说话？我在跟太空的怪物说话，我跟三个...飞来的绿色脑袋、流星一样的人说话。
（布兰德夫人从门廊上走下，咬了下嘴唇，叫道。）
布兰德夫人：史蒂夫，史蒂夫，请...（她害怕地看着四周，避开人群。）那只是个业务无线电，很多人都有的，我可以给你们看，就在地下室里。
史蒂夫（转向妻子）：什么都不要给他们看！如果他们想看我们的房间...让他们拿搜索证来。
夏利：看，家伙，你承担不起...
史蒂夫（打断他的话）：不要告诉我谁危险，谁不危险，谁是安全的，谁是威胁。（他转向人群，叫道。）你们跟他一样---所有的人都是！你们站在那里只是找一个替罪羊...拼命地在邻居间找一个人出来！现在，看吧，朋友们，唯一要发生的事就是，我们要相互咬死对方...
（夏利猛地抓住他的胳膊，史蒂夫突然停下来。）
夏利（低声地）：这不是唯一要发生的事。（黑暗中突然出现一个人影，人影慢慢走进时，寂静中人们听到水泥地上的缓慢、有规律的脚步声，一个妇女发出一声被抑制的叫声。）
汤米（害怕地叫）：是怪物，怪物！
（人群往后退，盯着黑暗中走来的人影。顿.马丁带上一支，加入人群，他举起枪。）
顿：我们可能需要这个。
史蒂夫：？（他把枪从顿手中夺过来。）你脑子昏了吗？枪怎么能用来打...
（夏利从史蒂夫手中夺过枪。）
夏利：别说话，史蒂夫。你会把我们弄死的！你会让任何不明的东西逼近我们吗？我们有的人不会的！
（他摆动枪，对准人行道。黑色人影继续走向人群。夏利慢慢举起枪，人影走近时，他开动扳机。枪声在寂静中响起。人影发出轻微的`呼叫，膝盖首先着地，然后是脸。顿，夏利和史蒂夫跑上前。史蒂夫第一个把这个人翻过身，人群把他们围起。）
史蒂夫（慢慢地看了看）：是皮特.范.合恩。
顿（小声地说）：皮特.范.合恩！他只是去临近街区看有没有电。
妇女：你杀了他，夏利，你杀死了他！
夏利（看看四周的面孔，眼神中露出害怕的神情来）：但是...我不知道是谁。我当然不知道他是谁。他从黑暗中走来...我怎么能知道他是谁呢？（他抓住史蒂夫。）史蒂夫--你知道我为什么开枪的！为什么我会认为他不是怪兽什么的呢？
（他抓住顿。）我们都害怕同一样东西。我只是想试图...试图保护我的家，就是这样！（他疯狂地看着地下的尸体。）我不知道是我认识的人！我不知道...
（人群突然安静下来，街对面一家的每个灯都亮起来。）
妇女（低声说）：夏利...夏利...你家的灯亮了。为什么会亮呢？
顿：怎么回事，夏利？为什么只有你家的灯亮了？
古德曼：我也想知道这个。
（顿时人们盯着夏利。）
古德曼：你下手这么快，夏利，你这么快就告诉我们应该提防谁。或许你不得不杀人，或许皮特想告诉我们什么，告诉我们应该提防我们中的哪个人---
（夏利后退几步，眼睛睁大，满是恐惧。）
夏利：不...不...根本没这回事！我不知道灯为什么会亮？我发誓我不知道。有人在开玩笑什么的。
史蒂夫：玩笑？夏利，人行道上有人死人，使你杀的！你是在杀人灭口吗？
（夏利突然挣脱开，尖叫着冲回家去。）
（一个人从人群中跑开，追向夏利。他扭住夏利，把他推到在地。其他的人向他们跑过来，夏利从地上站起，挣脱另一个人，跳向他家前门廊。人群中扔出的石头打碎了他
旁边的窗子，碎裂的玻璃从他身旁飞过，几个碎片划伤了他。他站在那里，鲜血从脸上的伤口留下。他的妻子从人群中跑出来，扑向他的怀抱。人群向门廊走来。）
第一个声音：肯定是他！
第二个声音：就是他！
第三个声音：我们抓住夏利了。
（另一块石头扔到门廊上，夏利把妻子拉到身后，自己面对着人群。）
夏利：听着，听着，我对你们发誓...不是我...但是我确实知道是谁。我对你们发誓。我知道这里谁是怪物。
顿：好的，夏利，说来听听！
第二个男人（尖叫）：说吧，夏利，告诉我们。
夏利：是...是这个孩子。汤米！
萨莉：你疯了，他只是个孩子！
妇女：但是他知道！只有他知道！他告诉我们一切，他怎么知道的呢？
（人们听到这里，再一次大声反复地问。）
第一个声音：他怎么知道的？
第二个声音：谁告诉他的？
第三个声音：让这小孩说话！
（萨莉抓住汤米，开始跟他一起跑。人群开始追起来，起初跑得很快，后来就被甩在后面。突然夏利家的灯熄了，另一家的灯亮了。）
男人（大叫）：不是小孩家的...是鲍勃.韦弗家的。
妇女：不，是顿.马丁家的。
夏利：我告诉你是这小孩家的。
顿：是夏利，就是他。
（很多人大叫起来，互相指责着，尖叫着，房子里的灯亮了又熄了。）
场景二
附近黑暗中的田野里，是一艘宇宙飞船，一束光从一个打开的门中射出，两个身影出现了。
第一个身影：现在知道程序了吗？只要停掉他们的少数机器、收音机、电话和割草机...让他们在黑暗中呆上几个小时，然后坐在这里看结果吧。
第二个身影：结果总是一样的吗？
第一个身影：会有一点儿区别。他们找出能找到的最危险的敌人...就是他们自己。
第二个身影：那么我觉得这里...枫树街...并不是个例外。
第一个身影：根本不是。这个世界到处都是枫树街这样的地方。我们将去一个又一个地方，让他们自己毁掉自己。一个又一个...一个又一个...一个又一个...

attitude to our life
i have been shocked many times by some accidents in my life through which i find human＇s life is like a delicate vase that will break into pieces for some unepected incidents.
one day in the summer of last year, wang, my friend, was watching a football match with his father.the match was too eciting for his father＇s heart to bear so he suddenly fell down to the ground for the heart attack. 120 was soon dialed but wang＇s father passed away at last. it was too cruel for wang to see his father die in front of him, and also too difficult for me to accept the fact, because just several hours before his death, he picked wang and me up at pu dong airport and sent us back home. at that time, he was so healthy that no one would epect that he would die a few hours later.
a few days later, i found something wrong with my body.it was a cyst as big as a coin found under my cheek. i felt very worried because, as i know, a cyst in that place was very dangerous. i was put into hospital after the doctor decided to remove it. after i entered the room of patients, i was jaw dropping because the looks of the patients were frightening, one person has a lump as big as a baseball on his face; another patient＇s eyes were bruised too badly to be seen and an old man＇s teeth had been all knocked off because the doctor would do an operation in his throat. i felt lucky and was even satisfied with my illness in this situation.
life is really precious and delicate.some people are bornblind or deaf. some pass away in a minute. some live in great pain even they are alive. we have no qualification to complain about some little unfairness in our life if we are healthy.we should care for our lives and make use of it as plentifully as possible.

flowers and coconut leaves are daily necessities in balinese life. along with cooked rice, they are normal gifts to gods as the natives of bali, xsland of sacrifices set offerings in front of their houses every day, not to mention on special dates.
you get a glimpse of the islanders carefree lifestyle from the common scene of small clusters of farmers enjoying a leisurely chat by the paddy fields, having laid down their hoes. a recess could easily last two or three hours, according to our guide.
on my recent visit, i noticed automobiles festooned with designs woven out of coconut leaves on their fronts. it turned out that sacrifices had just been offered with a prayer for road safety. the fast growth of tourism and traffic had brought about frequent accidents on the island, prompting the natives to add afe driving to their sacrificial calendar.
the balinese entrust everything in life to divine providence. even when a house is virtually burnt down, our local guide told us, people would celebrate their good fortune if any part of it were spared by the fire. such contentment is what leads the islanders through life in their peculiar happy-go-lucky manner.
once at nightfall, when passing the swimming-pool at my hotel, i caught sight of some balinese dancers in ethnic costumes getting ready for their performance. with delicate care, the girls picked their head adornments from the flower-bed and fied the blossoms on to their hair. what grows in nature comes natural to them as the need arises.
presumably, flowers bloom from heaven and leaves sprout from mans heart. to the accompaniment of the jingling lutes and babbling brooks, they embellish this world for the balinese, and lend wings to their imagination for an even sweeter net world.

【写作思路】
当今社会，公司的发展越来越正规化，而公司掌舵人的作用也显得尤为重要，这也是众多公司不惜重金竞相聘用得力高管的重要原因。那么，公司高管究竟要起到哪些作用呢？是不是只要想方设法为公司盈利就可以了呢？我们认为不是这样的'，公司高管还应担负起许多其他责任，包括为全球环境和人民造福、塑造良好公司形象、保障公司长足发展等。
Multiple Responsibilities of Corporate Executives
Corporate executives do have a responsibility to make money for their companies. For publicly owned companies, this means that they must ?nd a way to maximize shareholder value. But it would be wrong to say that, without quali? cation, making as much money as possible is an executive’s only responsibility.
First of all, corporate executives have a duty to protect our natural environment and to not exploit human resources, particularly in lesser-developed countries. These poorer countries sometimes have poorly developed legal systems and laws that can be used unfairly by companies, even though the companies are actually operating within the limits of the law in that country. As an example, a pharmaceutical company should not be allowed to test new drugs on people in a poor country even though it is perfectly legal under that country’s laws. Corporate executives must take it upon themselves to ensure that it operates ethically in all countries and that the corporation does not exploit lax operating laws in underdeveloped parts of the world.
Secondly, a related responsibility of corporate executives is to make sure that the company re?ects a positive image to the rest of the world, thus giving stockholders and owners a sense of pride in being a part of that company. Most people do not want to be associated with a company that is seen as greedy or exploitive. If corporate executives focus solely on making as much money as possible, there can be a backlash against that company for appearing too materialistic and uncaring. Executives at multinational companies such as McDonald’s and Wal-Mart have recognized this problem in the past and have now become heavily involved in the communities in which their stores are located through charitable programs.
A third and also related responsibility of corporate executives is to ensure the long-term viability of their companies. Employees, as well as other stakeholders, need to know that the company executives are interested in building an enduring institution. A good example of this responsibility not being honored is that of the Enron Energy Company and Arthur Andersen bankruptcy and accounting scandal. In this case, corporate executives abdicated their responsibilities to both companies in order to maximize short-term pro?t and possibly their own bonuses and stock options.
Corporate executives do have a responsibility to make as much money as possible. But they also have the responsibility to do so in a manner that helps to protect the world’s environment and people, that re?ects a positive corporate image, and that will guarantee the long-term survival of the company.
【亮点回放】
用词亮点
lesser-developed：欠发达的，同下文中的underdeveloped。
take something upon somebody：承担起……职责。
exploitive：剥削的。
backlash：后坐力，强烈反对。
viability：生存能力，可行性。
abdicate：正式放弃，退出。
句式亮点
Corporate executives must take it upon themselves to ensure that it operates ethically in all countries and that the corporation does not exploit lax operating laws in underdeveloped parts of the world.
lax operating laws意为“现行法律中的漏洞”；两个that均作为ensure一词的宾语从句。全句句意为：“公司高管必须承担起责任，确保公司在任何国家的运作都不会有违道德规范，同时在世界欠发达地区，也不钻现行法律的空子”。
A good example of this responsibility not being honored is that of the Enron Energy Company and Arthur Andersen bankruptcy and accounting scandal.
a good example of this responsibility not being honored在此处表示“一个不那么光彩的例子，反面教材”。此处作者以安然公司（Enron）和安达信会计师事务所（Arthur Andersen）为例，充分证明了只图眼前利益而忽略公司长足发展的下场。
篇章亮点
文章采用的是开门见山的开头方式，直接提出作者观点——为公司多赚钱不应是公司高管的惟一职责。紧接着，作者采用了分总的行文结构，在主体部分层次分明地论述了公司高管应当承担的其他责任。逻辑信号词first of all，secondly，a third清晰地对文章做出了划分，使读者一目了然。结尾部分概括全文，同时采用了与正文不一样的表达方式，显示出作者扎实的文字功底。

First let us see the dark side, the disadvantages:
It is obviously that a private can load only from 5 to 8 person, to be more precise, the private car we talk about limited to five passengers, the eight passenger type is what we called MPV (multi-purpose vehicle). To travel limited quantity of people we consumed significant high amount of resources in contrast to the Mass Transist system such as bus, train or underground railway. The frequently use of private car also occupy lot of space on the road and result in traffics. Accidents are proportional related to number of vehicles on the road and obviously private car owns a relatively high percentage of them.

Modern medicine is saving millions of lives with such wonder drugs as penicillin and the mycins and such advanced techniques as radioactive treatment. At the same time, more and more Chinese and a growing number of westerners place greater confidence in the prescriptions of herb medicines and acupuncture therapy.
Herbs used in the aromatic but often bitter brews are not limited to the vegetable kingdom. Materialsand animal substances are also ingredients. Moreover, not all the concoctions are to be drunk. Many medicines are in the form of pills, ointments and powders.
Hundreds of millions of people in China, East Asia and overseas Chinese communities have been cured of diseases which western prescriptions failed to do so.
Herbal medical treatment is mild and tonic, and its curative processes slow. The objective is to find the seat of the trouble or obstruction and then work to counteract its effects.
Surprisingly enough, Chinese herbs also include such strange things as insects, deer horn, tiger bones, cicada shells, frogs, and toads. Liquid concoctions usually thick,brownish or black, and.often taste bitter.
A proverb says "Efficacious remedies are i bitter in the mouth but beneficial to the body," and I think Chinese herbs bear the best proof.

Life Is A Box of Chocolate
--macfee
Strictly speaking, I never took a sentence as my proverb until I heard the classic words in <> that “Life is a box of chocolate, you never know what gonna get.” Although it is not profound enough, it does change my life by giving me hope, it does inspire me by showing me various possibilities or consequences.
I still remember the astonishment when I went though our college gate. This old, sherry school would be my campus where I would spend my golden years. I lay on my bed thinking of my college life. To be honest, I totally couldn’t accept the disparity between the reality and my dreaming university. At that time, I felt my whole world was gray. Certainly, I did nothing meaningful in my first year.
Occasionally, I heard the sentence from my friend’s letter answering my endless complain. He draw a delicate card writing “Life is a box of chocolate, you never know what gonna get.” Initially, I paid little attention to that, but I did remember it. At the same time, I realized that something changed inside me. After I had watched the movie <>, changes became clear. Having heard this sentence again, it severely shocked me. Gump’s mother was not somebody important. However, she never despaired though she encountered many difficulties. She strongly believed that life is not so bad, and there is still hope. I really convinced she not only told Gump, but also said to me “Life is a box of chocolate…”
For quite a long time, I kept turning it over in my mind. How could I so sure I would get a bitter chocolate at the very beginning of my college life! How could I deny myself without trying best! How could I ignore the various possibilities of my magic world! How could I give up myself just because of disparity of reality! How could I!
From then on, I kept going my own way, despite, frequently, I felt lonely, aggrieved and worn-out.
Frankly, university life is much more complicated and harsher than previous life. During my growth, I had to face up to strange people and various and unfamiliar surroundings by myself. I scared, I cried. But, finally, by telling myself “Keep going, keep looking for your chocolate!” I got thr

children of the future age,
reading this indignant page,
know that in a former time
love, sweet love, was thought a crime.
in the age of gold,
free from winters cold,
youth and maiden bright,
to the holy light,
naked in the sunny beams delight.
once a youthful pair,
filled with softest care,
met in garden bright
where the holy light
had just removed the curtains of the night.
there, in rising day,
on the grass they play;
parents were afar,
strangers came not near,
and the maiden soon forgot her fear.
tired with kisses sweet,
they agree to meet
when the silent sleep
waves oer heavens deep,
and the weary tired wanderers weep.
to her father white
came the maiden bright;
but his loving look,
like the holy book,
all her tender limbs with terror shook.
ona, pale and weak,
to thy father speak!
o the trembling fear!
o the dismal care
that shakes the blossoms of my hoary hair!

It is a common phenomenon that when people go to find jobs, they usually need to take their diploma with them since most vacancy have certain requirements, especially they demand certain diploma. Some people think that we should pay attention to diploma because they think people with diploma can be competent to do certain jobs. However, some people don’t think so. They believe people with experience can do jobs better than those people with diploma. In my opinion, I think diploma do nothing difference.
当我们去找工作的时候，通常需要带学历过去，因为很多职位都会有一些要求，特别是关于学历的要求。一些人认为我们应该关注学历，因为他们认为有学历的`人可以胜任某些工作。但是，一些人就不这样认为。他们认为经验比学历更重要。就我来说，我认为学历并不重要。
First of all, diploma proves nothing. Diploma is a certification that people have attended some classes while it can not prove that they have practical experience. It is said by many people that some students only know how to study while with no ability to deal with things.
第一，学历证明不了什么。学历只是一个证明，证明这些人参加过相应的一些课程，但是不能证明他们有实际的经验。很多人说一些学生只是知道怎么学习，而不知如何做事。
Secondly, diploma can be faked. In order to get good jobs, some people spend money on buying fake diplomas so that they can be hired by big company. In recent years, many fake diplomas have been exposed by press. On this point, diploma is not trustable.
第二，学历可以造假。为了找到好工作，一些人会花钱买假学历来进入大公司。最近几年，许多的学历造假时间被媒体揭露出来。所以，就这一点来看，我们不能太相信学历。
All in all, diploma has no relation to people’s ability. Besides, diploma can be faked. Therefore, we shouldn’t pay too much attention to diploma.
总之，学历与个人能力无关，也可以造假。所以，我们不应该太关注学历。

From the dictionary, we can know that happiness is to feel or express pleasure, contentment, satisfaction,etc.When we are very busy or earn money crazily,we gradually forget what the happiness is. We don’t understand what the true feeling of happiness is. Maybe you say that I have money so that I am a happy man. Maybe you say that I have friends so that I am a happy man.

Directions:
Study the following set of cartoons carefully and write an essay in which you should
1)describe the cartoons,
2)stating its main idea, and
3)giving your comment.
You should write about 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
参考范文
In the cartoon we can see a tall and thin man, along with a short and stout man are using suitable hotpot for dinner. Apparently, the picture aims to emphasize that anything to be done must be measured in advance so that we are able to find a proper way to do it.
This same principle applies to solving any other problem. Firstly, when we want to know the reality of something, we must describe it like it is, getting rid of our prejudices and exaggerations, so that we can have an unbiased view. Secondly, the object should be analyzed in a concrete way so that we can grasp the reasons and rules of it. Thirdly, we must adapt our approach to solving a problem, for each situation is different from the others. So we must view a problem from different perspectives.
The cartoon implies different meanings to different people. A teacher should adopt different teaching methods according to the students in the class; a doctor should prescribe different treatments according to the patient’s symptoms; a farmer should seed different plants according to the various conditions of the earth. From a philosophical point of view, dissimilar problems should be approached differently. Good results come from attentive analysis of a problem.

Some students put stress on marks. One reason for that comes from the tradition of society. Most parents, teachers judge students from their marks. High marks mean honor. So students study hard to get high marks in order to satisfy their parents, please their teachers. The other reason can be found in our educational system. It is marks that decide a student’s fate. As a result, the students have to gain high marks in their studies. In their points of view, marks are the most important thing.
Other students pay more attention to their ability, because they believe ability can accompany them to the end of their lives. Everyone is bound to graduate from schools and step into society, so they have to learn to communicate with other people, to deal with difficulties and to face the sharp competition. All this should be developed in school, so they consider ability the most important.
In my opinion, we should not go to extremes. For one thing, we should not just pursue marks and neglect ability; for another, we should not concentrate on ability and ignore marks. Both marks and ability are crucial to students.

In recent years, distant education has generally beenbrought into the public focus. A large number of universities have offered opencourses on the internet. However, just as the saying goes, “so many people, somany minds.” People from different backgrounds take divergent views concerningthis case.
近年来，远程教育已成为公众关注的焦点，一般是。很多高校都开设了网上公开课。然而，正如俗话所说，“这么多人，这么多的想法。”来自不同背景的不同观点的人采取concerningthis。
Those who have already benefited from practicing itsing high praise of it. They come up with the attitude that distant educationhas provided a wider way for students to learn various cultures around all overthe world. It is a more convenient way for students to broaden their horizon.However, there are also some others who contend that various kinds of opencourses on the internet will bring some chaos to students. Students who areexposed to too many different courses and cultures will have difficulty indistinguishing the passive ones and the opposite.
那些已经受益于练习itsing吧好评。他们拿出那遥远的教育为学生的学习提供了各种文化在世界各地更广泛的`方式的态度。它是学生拓宽视野更便捷的方式。然而，也有人认为，互联网上的各种公开课会带来一些混乱的学生。学生接触到太多的不同的课程和文化都很难区分被动的和相反的。
Taking into consideration both sides of the issue, Iam inclined to be on the side of the former opinion. I strongly approve of themotion that distant education is a convenient and important way for students toget in touch with foreign culture, especially for those who major in foreignlanguage learning. But at the same time, I also advocate that students shouldpay more attention to choose proper subjects rather than accept them entirely.
考虑到双方的问题，我倾向于在前一种意见的一面。我强烈赞成运动，远程教育是一种方便的重要途径学生跟外国文化的联系，特别是外语学习中的重要的人。但同时，我也认为学生应注意选择合适的对象而不是完全接受他们。

Some people prefer to plan activities for their free time very carefully. Others choose not to make any plans at all for their free time. Compare the benefits of planning free-time activities with the benefits of not making plans. Which do you prefer?―planning or not planning for your leisure time? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your choice.
I think that free time is a precious thing for most of us. When we’re working hard, it’s nice to imagine what we’ll do when the weekend comes. We juggle one idea with another, trying to decide what best suits our budget and the amount of time we have. After all, anticipating free time is part of the pleasure.
It’s good to plan what we’re going to do with our free time. That way we won’t waste any of it trying to decide. It’s so easy to just sit around and think about this or that activity. Before we know it, half the day is gone. If we decide ahead of time, We can get started in plenty of time, and we can get the most benefit out of the time we have. For instance, if we’re going on a picnic, we can get all our supplies ready to go. Or if we’re going to a movie, we can find out the time and how long it’ll take us to get there. Also, if we plan what we’re going to do with our free time, we can invite others to join us. If we wait until the last minute, our friends may have other plans.
On the other hand, it’s also fun sometimes to do things without a plan. We can just leave the house and walk around and see what catches our attention. Often, this is how we discover places we never knew existed. We might end up doing something we never thought we’d try. We might just happen to find ourselves outside a new bookstore or a bowling alley and go in on a whim, because we have some free time.
It’s nice if we can have the best of both worlds. We can plan our free time activities for one day of the weekend, and let the other day plan itself. This way our free time also gives us the enjoyment of having it both ways.
