When you walk on the street, you may see a lot of people rushing into some shops or gatheringtogether buying lotteries, such as welfare lottery tickets, sports lottery tickets and so you will be shocked by their enthusiasm for such kind of things. Some even spend alarge amount of money on them in order to increase the possibility of winning the prize. If thelotteries fail their expectations, they get so disappointed that they may curse or even beatthemselves. I think people try their luck on lottery for several reasons.
当你走在大街上，你会看见许多人在商店中，或是聚在一起买彩票，例如福利彩票、体育彩票等。或许，你会对他们对彩票的喜爱感到震惊。许多人甚至会花大量金钱买彩票，这样可以提高获奖的概率。如果他们没有中奖，他们会感到非常失望，甚至会发生暴力冲突。我认为人们购买彩票的原因有许多。
First of all, they try their luck because they want to win a large sum of money with just a may think their idea is justified and the dream is not far away. They cherish thehope of getting rich overnight. As is reported by CCTV, a man in Shandong province becomesa criminal after his failure of trying his luck. He has spent all his money on the lottery. He nowbecomes homeless and leads a miserable life. As far as I am concerned, trying one’s luck onlottery is like gambling. You do not know the rate of winning back your money but you cannotresist the lure of having a try, which is, almost surely, disastrous. Very few people cansucceed in this business.
首先，他们买彩票是因为他们想付出最少的努力挣更多的钱。他们认为他们的想法是合情合理的，他们的梦想也不会遥远。他们想一夜暴富。就像中央台所报道的，山东一男子在买彩票失利后竟然走上了犯罪的道路。为了买彩票，他花去了所有的钱。他现在无家可归，生活窘迫。我认为，买彩票就像是赌博。你不知道挣钱的概率会有多大，但是你却禁不住诱惑去进行尝试，这实在是一种灾难。很少有人能够成功。
Secondly, the society is getting more commercial and material than before. People work justfor more other words, some of them prefer money to morals. They are thinking ofsome shortcut to get rich in the society. I think the social climate exerts a subtle influence ontheir psychology. We need to clean the social climate for a better humane environment. Weshould educate people to earn their living by honest labor rather than trying the luck onlottery.
第二，社会变得比以往更加物质化、商业化。人们工作的目的就是赚钱。换句话说，许多人宁愿挣钱而舍掉道德。他们想通过走捷径来挣钱。我认为社会氛围影响了人们的心理。我们需要净化社会风气，并为人类创造更好的环境。我们应该教导人们靠双手劳动挣钱，而不是去玩彩票。
Finally, the popularity of buying lottery is due to the gap between the rich and poor. Theincome gap has become a reason for this activity. The rich becomes richer and richer, while thepoor becomes poorer and poorer. This has stimulated some people to try the luck on thelottery.
最后，购买彩票的热潮是因为贫富差异而起。收入上的差异是这种活动的原因。富的越来越富，穷的越来越穷。这就导致更多的人尝试买彩票。
To sum up, we should discourage people from buying the lottery. Meanwhile, we shouldbetter our social welfare system so that more people can get rich.
总结，我们不应该鼓励人们买彩票。同时，我们应该完善社会的福利制度，这样人们才能富起来。

As we all know, the technological advancements are on the move at an unprecedented speedin the present society. Some people think that as technology develops traditional culture willbe lost whereas some others do not think so.
众所周知，当今社会，技术正在以前所未有的.速度发展着。许多人认为随着技术的发展，传统文化将逐渐消失。但是许多人并不这么认为。
As far as I am concerned, the technology does harm to the traditional culturein some sensebut it can alsoprotect it from dying out. In other words, the technological advancement is adouble-blade sword. We need to realize it in a didactic way.
我认为，技术在某种程度上确实不利于传统文化的发展，但是，技术的发展也可以防止其消亡。换句话说，技术的发展是一把双刃剑。我们应该意识到这一点。
First of all, the technology is a little harmful to the traditional culture. Due to the emergenceof the new technology, some forms of art have been dead for many years. Some culturalheritage has been the jade carving for example. The craftsmanship has beendisrupted due to the popularity of the new technology. The works of art has been producedthrough the machines rather than the hands of the , the art has lost themost important part of its taste. Most of the artistic works are the products of the factories.
首先，技术对传统文化的伤害较小。这是因为新技术的发展，许多文化形式已经消亡了许多年。许多文化遗产正在遭受着威胁。我想拿玉石雕刻举个例子。由于新技术的发展，手工技艺已经遭到了威胁。大部分的艺术品都是通过机器所制造出来，而不是手工。所以，艺术已经失去了以前的味道。大部分的艺术品都是工厂所制作出来的。
Secondly, the new technology helps the traditional culture spread more widely. For example,many exhibits in the Palace Museum have been available visually online. Visitors do not haveto go to the museum but just stay at home to enjoy the heritage. It is the technology that hasmade all this possible. One more example, Peking opera is the national essence of our plays of the veteran artists have been kept with the help of the technology. We will feelthat these great artists are not far away from us and that wecan still learn from their goodperformances. Nowadays we all read many good books, which have been a of our traditional culture. Thanks to all the presses and publishing houses, we canreadso many books and they help carry on our culture through their printing technology.
To sum up, we should be aware of the disadvantages of the technology and make the two gohand in hand in harmony. On the one hand, the technology helps to protect and spread thetraditional culture. On the other hand, the traditional culture may promote the .
总结，我们也应该意识到技术的害处，并让文化和技术共同发展。一方面，技术帮助我们保护文化，传播文化。另一方面，传统文化促进技术的发展。

Should College Education Be Vocation-Oriented?
Due to the increased enrollment of college studentsin recent years, the total number of graduatescoming out at the same time is such that manycollege graduates have difficulties in procuring jobs,especially when the economy is suffering then many scholars suggest that collegesshould lay emphasis onvocational training bysetting relative courses in the college curriculum so that graduates are more likely to beemployed. Taking the employers’ requirement into consideration, that is, working experience,the suggestion seems reasonable. However, I think, even if universities become vocation-oriented, it can not serve well for the employment. Besides, the vocational orientation will doharm to the higher education.
Firstly, the suggestion seems to be based on the fact that new college graduates may havelearned mountains of theories but lack practical abilities. In accord with this suggestion, ifcollege students have received enough vocational training and gained experience in internship,they are likely to get employed. Admittedly, self-improvement is crucial for new graduates tohunt jobs. But the suggestion does not take into account job vacancies in the present. ThoughChina’s economy keeps growing at a rate of about 9% in the recent and the number of jobsdoes increase, too many graduates coming out at a time will create great pressure for the jobmarket. As an official stated, “the grand college enrollment plan is one of the main reasons forthe current unemployment issue”. Therefore,even if college students have enough experienceand skills, will they succeed in procuring jobs when there are no positions available at all?
Secondly, vocational orientation is to the detriment of the higher learning in the long us beginwith the difference in goals between university and vocational training. As collegestudents may decide tofinish his studies after graduation or may continue at a higherlevel,university courses should thus provide both basic knowledge and a sound basis for furtherstudies. In vocational training, the goals of a given course are distinct, that is, the course isdesigned to teach trainees basic knowledge and skills. In consequence, if universities arevocation-oriented, students at college can not get prepared in class for a higher level oflearning. Predictably, the pyramid of higher learning will crumble if universities can notproduceenough qualified students.
In conclusion, vocation-orientation may help improve graduates’ skills but it can not increasethe numberof available suggestion just offers a wrong remedy, and will do harmto the higher learning.
最近几年，随着大学生人数的增多，同时，大学毕业生的人数也在增加，许多应届毕业生很难找到工作，特别是在经济发展缓慢时期尤为如此。许多学者建议大学应该注重的是职业培养，并在大学课程中建立相关课程，这样，毕业生才更有可能找到工作。我们需要把雇主的要求考虑进内，这样的话，这样的建议是很有道理的。但是，我认为如果大学变成了以职业化教育为主的学校，那么这反而不利于找工作。此外，以职业化教育为中心的教育将会损害高等教育的发展。
首先，这样的建议似乎依据的是，许多应届生或许已经学习了大量的理论知识，但是他们缺乏的是实际的能力。根据这样的建议，如果大学生接受了职业化教育，并在实习过程中获得了许多的经验，那么，他们很有可能找到工作。毋庸置疑，对于应届生而言，自我发展对于找工作尤为重要。但是，这样的建议并没有把眼前的工作空缺考虑进内。尽管，中国最近的经济速率保持在9%左右，就业机会也大大增加，毕业生将会为市场增加更多的压力。就像官方所说，”扩招是目前失业的主要原因之一”。所以，即使学生拥有足够的经验和技能，但是，当没有工作空缺时，他们还会找到工作吗?
第二，从长远来看，以职业化为中心的教育会损害高等教育的发展。让我们先从大学和职业教育的不同说起。毕业之后，许多应届生会寻找工作，或是继续进行学习，大学课程应该既教授基本知识，也要为将来的学习做好基础。在职业教育中，课程学习的目标将会不同，即，课程的目的是教授学生基本的知识和技能。所以，如果大学是以职业培训为主的教育，那么，大学生就没办法为更高一级的学习做准备。人们可以预想到，高等教育的金字塔将会倒塌，前提是，如果大学没办法产生更多高质量的学生的话。
总结，以职业化教育为中心的教育会帮助毕业生提升技能，但是，这却无法增加现有的工作空缺。这样的建议是行不通的，并将损害高等教育的发展。

Nowadays, food has bee easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
The twentieth century has brought with it many advances. With those advances, human lives have changed dramatically. In some ways life is worse, but mostly it is better. Changes in food preparation methods, for example, have improved our lives greatly.
The convenience of preparing food today is amazing. Even stoves have gotten too slow for us. Microwave cooking is much easier. We can press a few buttons and a meal is pletely cooked in just a short time. People used to spend hours preparing an oven-cooked meal, and now they can use that time for other, better things. Plus, there are all kinds of portable, prepackaged foods we can buy. Heat them in the office microwave, and lunch at work is quick and easy.
Food preparation today allows for more variety. With refrigerators and freezers, we can preserve a lot of different foods in our homes. Since technology makes cooking so much faster, people are willing to make several dishes for even a small meal. Parents are more likely to let children be picky, now that they can easily heat them up some prepackaged macaroni and cheese on the side. Needless to say, adults living in the same house may have very different eating habits as well. If they don’t want to cook a lot of different dishes, it’s mon now to eat out at restaurants several times a week.
Healthful eating is also easier than ever now. When people cook, they use new fat substitutes and cooking sprays to cut fat and calories. This reduces the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol. Additionally, we can buy fruits and vegetable fresh, frozen or canned. They are easy to prepare, so many of us eat more of those nutritious items daily. A hundred years ago, you couldn’t imagine the process of taking some frozen fruit and ice from the freezer, adding some low-fat yogurt from a plastic cup and some juice from a can in the refrigerator, and whipping up a low-fat smoothie in the blender!
Our lifestyle is fast, but people still like good food. What new food preparation technology has given us is more choices. Today, we can prepare food that is more convenient, healthier, and of greater variety than ever before in history.

I disagree strongly with the idea that the same amount of money should go to university sports activities as to university libraries. Although playing sports is a wonderful way to learn about teamwork, strategy and reaching your goals, it should not be the principal focus of a university education.
Students need the most up-to-date library facilities available to get the best education. Many of those facilities are very expensive to buy and maintain. These include computerized programs and access to internet research databases that students can use to find information all around the world. If a university is only offering its students resources of a decade ago, it’s depriving those students of a tremendous amount of information.
Even the book and magazine budget of universities has gone up tremendously in last decade. More is being published on every subject, and every university wants to have this information available to its students.
It also costs money for universities to keep their libraries open. Students need to have access to all the libraries' research tools as much of time as possible. Because students are young and can stay up all night studying, many universities are starting to leave their libraries open all night during exam periods. This costs money, because the staff has to be paid extra to be there. It also costs money to run the building (electricity, heat) during that time.
Students at universities are only going to benefit from their education if they can get to all the tools they need to learn. Sports are secondary to the resources that students need from university libraries. For this reason, libraries should always be better funded than sport activities.

Living in university dormitories or apartments in the community?
I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life, while juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life. Student’s needs change over four years, so their housing should too.
Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. You get the whole university experience. Plus, you interact more with other students. This includes not only your roommates, but everyone in your dormitory. The older students in the dormitory can be a big help for the new students. Keeping up with studies in your first year is hard enough. You should not have to worry about finding your way around and figuring out the university bureaucracy.
Living in the dormitory also makes a student feel more a part of the university community. There are more opportunities for becoming involved in university activities and networking with students and university administration.
Living off-campus, however, is a definite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s regulations, cooking meals, and figuring out budgets are all good practice for life after graduation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood.
Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Campus can be like little worlds of their own. There are few children or older people and everyone is focused on education. Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students coming from difference places. It is a chance to find out what other people think and feel.
I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students.
