Failure is a common thing in our daily life.
17、 For example, sometimes we fail to pass the examinations. On other occasions, we are defeated in sport games. And there are times when we fail to do more satisfactory work. So it is safe to say that every one of us must have encountered failure of one kind or another. However, different people have
18、different attitudes towards failure. Some people lose heart when they come across failures. They seem to think that it is the end of the world. Others, on the contrary, dont take failure seriously. They seem to think that failure is first step to success. In my opinion, what really counts is not fai

21、etition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth. We can say, to some extent, competition is one of the motive force of the development of society. We often find competition and cooperation occurring at the same time. Think of a basketball game. During the game, one team is competing against the other, b
22、ut each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. In most cases, we cant compete without cooperation. Thus they are equally important. While advocating competition, we cant forget cooperation. In modern society, cooperation is especially important because most work is fulfilled with and
23、through other people. So we must combine competition with cooperation to obtain our goals.,练习三： 城市无论大小都应该保持清洁。保持城市清洁不是一件容易的事。为了保持城市的清洁，我们的政府做了大量的工作。,Keep Our City Clean A city, whether small or big, should be kept clean. A clean environment will do us much good. Without the clean environment, we can
24、 hardly keep fit, work efficiently or live a comfortable life, which will greatly hold back the development of the city. So its of great importance to keep our city clean. Moreover, keeping the city clean is not an easy job. We can clean up the city and keep it clean temporarily, but can we keep it
25、clean for good? This arduous work is in close relation to the economy of the city, the government policy and citizens qualities. It demands permanent efforts and scientific measures and right attitudes. In order to keep the city clean, our government has taken a great many steps, which includes prop
26、er investment, making plans and regulations, the disposal of rubbish, the forestation, and the layout of gardens and flower beds and lawns.

28、e, vegetation has been greatly reduced with rapid growth of modern cities. To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Ther
29、efore, governments are playing the most important role in the environment protection today. In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environment protection through education. Second, much
30、more efforts should be made to put the population. Finally those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.,练习五： 1、现代社会广告已经充斥了生活的每个角落； 2、和任何其他事物一样，广告也有两面性； 3、因此，面对广告我们得小心，以免上当受骗。,The
31、Effects of Advertisement As one of the products of modern society, advertisement has filled almost every corner of the world. We are exposed to them anywhere and anytime. When we listen to the radio or watch TV, the programs are broken up by advertisements that flash on every five or ten minutes. Wa
32、lking in the street, we find we confronted with endless ad bulletins. Every evening, especially weekend evenings, we find out mailbox full of ad leaflets. With their tremendous power and attractive, advertisements have become a part of our life. Every coin has two sides, so does advertisement. Adver
33、tisement exerts both positive and negative effects upon our life. In order to promote trade, business people engage in making their products known to the public in the most attractive ways so that potential customers find it easier to choose what they are to purchase when faced with shelves of goods
34、 in the supermarkets. However, advertisements are not always reliable, as some dishonest businessmen exaggerate the functions and qualities of their products. Customers may be misled and deceived. Such is often the case, and it does harm the interests of the customers. Thus, when confronted with an
35、advertisement, we have to be very cautious so as not to be taken in by appealing words and pictures in it. We should remember that advertisements are good at playing with words. What customers should do is to ask about the product and try it, if possible, before purchasing it.,练习六：面试在求职过程中的作用；2. 取得面
36、试成功的因素：仪表、举止谈吐、能力、专业知识、自信、实事求是等等。,How to Succeed in a Job Interview,A job interview is indispensable in the process of job hunting. If a job seeker can make the best use of the interview and leave a good impression on the interviewers mind, he may be lucky enough to get the job competed for by many
37、applicants. If, on the other hand, the job hunter gives a poor performance during the interview, he is unlikely to stand a chance to succeed. To be successful in a job interview, the job hunter should demonstrate certain personal and professional qualities. First, the applicant ought to attach much
38、importance to his appearance and manner of speaking. Second, he is supposed to display his ability, especially his grasp of professional knowledge required by the position for which he is applying. Finally, a really impressive job seeker must convey a sense of self-confidence in and a practical atti
39、tude toward the cause concerned. If the interviewee succeeds in displaying these characteristics and presents his most attractive qualities during an interview, the interviewer might make an on-the-spot decision to take him on.,练习七：Is It Good for College Students to Have Part-time Jobs1、The advantag
40、es of having part-time jobs fro college students. 2、The disadvantages of having part-time jobs for college students. 3、The right attitudes.,There are many advantages for college students to take part-time jobs while they are at college. Firstly, part-time jobs will offer us students a chance to demo
41、nstrate our ability and to apply what we have learned at college. Secondly, part-time jobs help us become more independent of our families. Thirdly, the experience we gain through part-time jobs may be of great help to our future career. Finally, part-time jobs can broaden our horizon and make our l
42、ife more meaningful. However, a part-time job has some disadvantages. For example, we may lose time needed for sleep, rest, study, club activities and recreation. For another example, if we take part-time jobs, it is likely for us to be so interested in the work that we cant pay attention to our stu
43、dy. As a result, we may fail in our school study, which will affect our future career too. In my opinion, as a student we should hold the right attitude towards the part-time job, for acquiring knowledge, especially more book knowledge is our first important task. Although part-time jobs can do us s
44、ome good in some aspects, we should pay more attention to school study than on it.,练习八：网络时代已经到来。 网络影响我们的生活。充分利用网络资源,享受生活。,Internet and our life We are now living in an internet society.

45、ything in our daily life can have relationship with internet: in the morning, we may turn on the computer to check whether we have E-mails from friends of abroad; then we can read some latest news from any websites in the world. To the internet users, there is no borders between nations. People can
46、contact their friends wherever they are, as long as they are connected to the internet. After a days work, you may connect to the internet and do some shopping. Internet makes our lives easy and convenient. So why dont we turn on the computer and send a birthday card to our father?,练习九：有人认为读书要有选择；有人
47、认为应道博览群书； 你的看法呢？,Reading Selectively or Extensively How should we read? Should we read selectively or extensively? Everyone has his own view. Some people think we should read selectively. They argue that with the development of modern science and technology, more and more books are published. It is
48、impossible for us to read all the books. Whats more, there are many bad books that are poisonous to our mind, and we shouldnt read them. Since we cant read all the books, and we shouldnt read bad books, we must read selectively. But others may not agree. They emphasize that todays society is not wha
49、t it was. If one man has many kinds of knowledge, hell have more chances to succeed. If a man knows in one field but knows nothing in other fields, he may be useless. Since we must have many kinds of knowledge, we must read extensively. Whos right? I think both of them have something right. But I th
50、ink we should read extensively first. We should read books in many fields and read selectively in one field.,练习十： 关于财富与幸福/健康与财富的作文 Wealth brings happiness Directions: In this part, you are to write an essay entitled “The Relationship between Wealth and Happiness”.
