高薪没有假期的工作有利于自我提高
A high-paying job with a shorter vacation time contributes greatly to personal growth.
reason: 高薪的工作多是公司中的重要职位,所以伴随巨大的压力;但是只有在压力下工作才能让我们变得更强。而低薪假期长的工作,任务简单无挑战,对成长无益。

教室中,老师不能对学生不礼貌

Some people prefer to buy technological devices as soon as they are available on the market, while other people prefer to wait. Which do you prefer?
新产品价高
Consumers have to pay relatively high price for the technological product first launched in the market.
reason: 新上市的产品,功能先进,消费者需求旺盛,所以价高。
When an electronic gadget with innovative features is first launched to market, its irreplaceability resulting from the lack of competition from products with similar features, along with the high demand, always allows sellers to raise the price high above its market value.
example: 拿Iphone4举例。
When Iphone4 was first released in China, it cost more than 8,000 RMB, which was nearly two-month salary for most of people at that time. One year or so later, the price of iPhone 4 decreases by approximately 30%
理性消费才能买到好产品
rational customers may purchase more reliable and durable product, waiting until many people already have them.
reason: 消费者可以得到用户的评价,做出更明智的决定。
The waiting period is the best time for the potential customers to make the purchase decision by getting authentic comments from other users rather than the advertisement of the product.
example: 那Nokia N9举例
In the advertisement, this mobile looked terrific with its shining appearance, reasonable price and cool new features. But in fact, there was a glaring drawback in its operating system, which makes it hard to operate and greatly impacts users’ experience. This bug was exposed by angry consumers rather than Nokia company.
NO.4
Do you agree or disagree with the statement:现在的家长养活子女比50年前较容易?
教育的普及
Current universal access to education is the primary reason why raising children is easier today than before.
reason: 好教育à孩子们更强的独立思考能力,问题解决,和更广博的知识à养孩子更简单
better education à children’s better independent thinking ability, problem-solving skills and wider range of knowledge à parenting becomes easier
example: 比如大学申请父母不再需要参与,孩子在老师的指导下独立完成
in college application, the parental role has reduced to the minimum. Under the guidance of their teachers, children for the most part rely on themselves to go through the whole process.
网络的普及
The proliferation of Internet further reduces the difficulties involved in parenting.
reason: 随时随地的网络à父母网上咨询育儿专家à养孩子更容易
easy access to the Internet àparents can turn to on-line experts in child-rearing whenever they are at a lossà raising children becomes easier
example: 父母通过网络了解有关营养的信息,保证自己孩子的健康成长
parents can search on line about instructions concerning with how to balance nutrition of daily dietà ensure their children are well-nourished.
生活水平的提高
The improvement in living standard is also a contributor to easy parenting.
reason: 物质富足à父母能支付各种课外培训à养孩子更容易
material affluenceà parents can afford various extracurricular training classes and have professionals take care of theirchildrenàless troubles in raising children
example: 通过送孩子去上各种乐器培训,家长就算是音乐白痴,也可以培养自己孩子的艺术好品味。
by sending children to piano, violin and guitar classes, parents can nurture their children’s exquisite tastes even if they know nothing of music.
NO.5
Do you agree or disagree: the universities should spend more money in improving facilities (libraries, computer labs) than hiring famous teachers.
教师质量决定教育质量
the quality of teaching staff is the key contributing factor to education quality.
reason: 好老师提供好方法好讲解,有了他们的指导,学生成绩更好;但是设备对成绩无卵用。
highly qualified teachers can offer systematic methods andeasily-understandable illustration of knowledge. With their guidance, students are more likely to achieve better performance in studies. Facilities, however advanced, can hardly serve this purpose.
example: 好的历史老师更帮学生发现历史事件背后的因果关系,不只是告诉学生什么时间发生什么事。
A good history teacher, with their vivid instructions and deep understanding of historic events, can help students better discover the cause-and-effect relationship behind remarkable events.
著名教授有助工作
famous professors may even come into big play in students’future job hunting.
reason: 著名教授社会资源广,所以他们的推荐有助学生工作。
professors tend to have large scope of social resources, so their recommendation can help a lot with students’job hunting.

my professor helps me find a decent job in a world-renown company because he once worked as the director of technology department in that company.
NO.6
The opinions of celebrities, such as entertainers and athletes, are more important to the younger people than they are to the older people.
年轻人与明星年龄相似
The primaryreason why celebrities influence young people more is they are of similar age.
reason:大部分明星也是年轻人,与他们年轻的粉丝有相似的态度和价值观,所以他们与粉丝之间的共鸣导致很多年轻人对于他们的模仿。
famous entertainers and athletes are mostly young people too à they share similarvalues and attitudes àso, young people find themselves resonating to the comments and behaviors of celebrities and thus more likely to imitate celebrities.
example:埃米纳姆的音乐,充满了愤怒,愤世嫉俗和热情,总是能够打动年轻粉丝,产生更大的影响。
Eminem’s music, which is replete with anger, cynical attitudes and his great passion for life, never fail to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of young people and thus has a great influence on them.
Another reason lies in young people’s immaturity.
reason:年轻人正处于性格成型的年纪,没有经验,比较容易受到外来意见的影响。
young people, usually at a formative age, are easily susceptible to others’ opinions, due to their lack of experience and critical thinking. àAccordingly, they are easily swayed by celebrities, especially those with high publicity. In contrast, the elder tend to be wiser, so they may think critically of whatcelebrities do.
example:很多年轻人,出于对于某明星的狂热,放弃学业,甚至滥用毒品,滥交。
some teenagers,because of their admiration of some pop singers, gave up their education and embraced unrealistic dreams of becoming stars. Some, influenced by their so-called “idols”, even engage themselves in partying, drug abuse, rapid marriage and rapid divorce.

NO.8
In times of economic crisis, local governments often reduce the money they spend in certain areas. In your opinion, if a local government was facing economic problems, which of the following areas should it spend less money on:
-Libraries
-Public transportation
-Police department
公共交通花费不能减
Governments should never cut the expenses on public transportation.
reason:公共交通决定了人民生活舒适度和货物流通,没有完善的交通,城市会瘫痪
Public transportationdetermines not only the convenience in people’s daily lives but also cargo movementà without highways, the metro and bus lines, the city will collapse as a result à it is the responsibility of the government to perfect public transit.
example:假想北京地铁瘫痪会带来的结果。
We can easily imagine whatwill happen if the metro in Beijing is out of function: roads are crammed with cars that move at crawls; commuters have to waste nearly two hours on their road from home to work; cargo delivery service is delayed or even canceled. The whole city is in a mess.
警力不能减
The spending on police department is also indispensible in times of economicdepression.
reason:更多公司裁员和更多失业会导致更高犯罪率,所以警力需要加强。
with more companies downsizing and more people out of jobs, crime rate may rise a bit àadequate police strength is required to ensure public safety and bring crimes under control.
example:1998亚洲经济危机导致了亚洲的混乱,政府被迫投入更多钱和资源维护公共安全。
During the 1998 Asian financial crisis, the crippled economy, along with high unemployment rate, currency devaluation and widespread panic, threw great chaos to those badly hit Asian countries. The governments in those countries were forced to put more power and resources in police department.
图书馆花费可以减少
Compared with the two above-mentioned, libraries pale in importance, especially when the economy is plummeting.
reason:图书馆对经济复苏无用,人们都忙着保住自己的工作和找工作,无暇读书。
libraries play little part in economic recovery considering all people are in hustle and bustle to keep their jobs or find new employments.
example:刚出校园的Richard,因为害怕失业,每日忙于工作,再也没有去过图书馆。
Because of the current economic recession in China, Richard, a man fresh out of university,buries himself in piles of work assignments just for fear of unemployment,and seldom spends a day in the municipal library he used to frequent.
NO.9
Which do you think is the best way for a student to make new friends: joining a sports team, participating in community activities, or traveling? Use specific examples to support your answer.
体育俱乐部才能帮助学生结交真朋友
by joining a sport team, students are more likely to forge genuine friendship.
reason:参加体育俱乐部,我们会经历很多:一起经历严格的训练,互相鼓励,互相合作。这些珍贵的经历会让我们变成真正的朋友。
when joining a sports team, team members, to prepare for an upcoming match, will go through intense training together, encourage each other when feeling down and work in coordination to break the defense of the opposite side. Such valuable experiences help team members establish worthwhile relationship that will last even for their whole lives. However, in traveling or community activities, students hardly have the opportunity to know their fellow travelers or other community workers.
example:Richard和我结识与篮球俱乐部,我们的友谊持续至今。
Richard and I met in school basketball club. Being a remarkable basketball guards, he often taught me the knacks for shooting: how to be sharper, speedier and more accurate. He trained with me, ate with me, and gave me courage when I felt depressed or made no progresses. Our friendship continues to this day.
参加体育俱乐部适合所有人
joining a sport team is also a means that can apply to all students.
reason:旅行太贵,中国没有社区服务,但是每个学校都有体育俱乐部。
traveling is too costly for everyone to afford and community service is not available at least in China but there area rich array of sport clubs in every school.
example:个人经历:旅行给我的父母增加负担,但是参加体育俱乐部只需要填申请表。
For me, an undergraduate born in an average family, frequent traveling will definitely add to the financial burden of my parents. But to join a sport club, I just have to fill in an application form.

3 <帮助学生申请更好的学校> What’s more, after students take classes in arts, they might have a higher chance to go to their dream school.
Reason选修艺术类的课程使得学生更全面,而好的学校往往更倾向于接受更全面的学生。Arts classes make students become more comprehensive, and top schools are always fond of excellent students.

Reason家庭变得越来越富有,很多问题可以通过零花钱自己解决: The family is getting much wealthier, children could handle some problems via money, instead of parents.

At noon, parents do not have to send lunch to school for children; instead, children could buy them own meals in nearby food court. After school, they could either take a taxi home or take subway, which also saves parents a lot of trouble.

NO.15
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is better to relax by watching a movie or reading a book than by engaging in physical exercise.
观点: benefits of physical activities outweigh that could be gained from a sedentary life.
1 <体育活动对生理上有好处>First, doing exercises offers many benefits to one's physiological processes.
Reason体育活动增加了血液流动和心血管健康: Physical exercises aid in efficient blood flow and cardiovascular fitness.
Example当人们打篮球或游泳的时候,经常会看见他们满头大汗,这就是体内在发生一些生理反应的表征: When people are playing basketball on court or swimming in the pool, they would sweat be out of breath sometime, and these are signs of physiological chemistry happening under the skin.
2 <体育活动有利于社交> In addition, some forms of exercises encourage socialization and team building, which is a much greater way to relax than being alone.
Reason很多团体项目需要队员之间相互配合才能赢球: To win the games, players need to play as a team.
Example踢足球的时候, 队员之间需要通过分析对手的比赛习惯,讨论相关的战术配合: When playing soccer, team members have to discuss strategic plan before the game based on analyzing opponents’ game habits.
3 <体育活动有利于塑造性格.> Moreover, exercises help people to build some essential characters.

NO.16
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is important for the government to provide money for things that are beautiful and not just for things that are practical.
观点: Government should provide money for things that are practical.
1 让步段: <诚然, 为美丽的东西提供资金可能有好处。… 但是, 换一个角度来看, 美丽的东西往往花销比较大,往往会造成浪费,这不是一种集中花费资金的方法.> Admittedly, spending money on something beautiful might be good. … However, if we view this from a different angle, we might notice that these beautiful things always cost more and would bring many wastes. So it would be better to spend money on something practical.
2 <花钱在实用性强的事物上有利于提高民意支持率>To begin with, spending money on something practical could improve supporting rate.
Reason实用性的事物往往能够解决市民的需求, 所以他们会政府更满意: Something practical might be useful to citizens, so government’s investment on them would make citizens satisfied.
Example学校是提供给市民接受教育的地方。通过投资学校,政府能够让更多的适应孩子学习知识。投资医院,能够让更多的病人及时看病: A school is the place for citizens to receive education. By investing on building schools, government could get more children out of illiteracy. By investing on establishing hospitals, more patients could see doctors in time so that they have a higher chance to get rid of diseases.
3 <花钱在实用性强的事物上有利于吸引投资> Moreover, government who spend money on practical things would attract more investment for the city.
Reason政府的高效会吸引一些外来企业在当地开展业务: Functional government would attract some companies outside to do business in the local.
Example关注市民实际需要的政府会让企业觉得它是一个为市民提供便利的政府。因此,只要企业同样能够为市民提供便利,政府也会给与相应的帮助,这使得公司能够更好的开展业务。这样,良好的企业环境能够吸引更多公司: A government that focuses on citizens’ practical use leaves companies the impression that it provides them with great convenience. Hence, as long as the company could also help provide citizens with convenience, the government would also aid the company. This virtuous circle would attract more companies.
NO.17
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Parents must have stricter rules to help their children become successful.
观点: disagree
1 让步段<诚然, 家长对子女严格是有好处的。… 但是,成功的途径不唯一,很多其他的方式也能够帮助孩子取得成功> Of course, parents setting strict rules for their children might be good. … However, the way to achieve success is various, and there are other comparable methods to help children succeed.
2 <父母为子女提供必要的教育能够帮助他们成功> To begin with, parents who provide their children with necessary education could help them succeed.
Reason教育能够为孩子们提供重要的知识: Advanced education could give children important knowledge.
Example调查表明, 公司更乐于招聘高学历的毕业生。这些毕业生在工作时对技能的掌握情况更熟练。一个CMU计算机专业毕业的学生在应对编程时,出错率要低,同时程序效率也更高: According to a recent survey, companies are more likely to hire graduates with higher degree because they are more proficient in skills. A software engineer from CMU would make less mistakes and design the program to be more effective.
3 <父母保证子女的健康也能助其成功> In addition,to maintain their children a good health is also helpful for their children’s health.
Reason好的身体能让他们在工作当中更好的奋斗: A good health condition makes children better concentrate on their work.
Example经常有同时抱怨工作到下午的时候,会出现头晕或注意力不集中的情况,这极大的降低了工作效率。他们若是能勤锻炼,增强免疫力,这种情况的出现概率会大大降低: There are always colleagues complaining that they would feel dizzy in the afternoon or lose their attention, which greatly reduce the efficiency. If they could increase the exercises and immense system, their working efficiency could be largely improved.
NO.18
Some people prefer to buy technological devices as soon as they are available on the market, while other people prefer to wait. Which do you prefer?
新产品价高
Consumers have to pay relatively high price for the technological product first launched in the market.
reason: 新上市的产品,功能先进,消费者需求旺盛,所以价高。
When an electronic gadget with innovative features is first launched to market, its irreplaceability resulting from the lack of competition from products with similar features, along with the high demand, always allows sellers to raise the price high above its market value.
example: 拿Iphone4举例。
When Iphone4 was first released in China, it cost more than 8,000 RMB, which was nearly two-month salary for most of people at that time. One year or so later, the price of iPhone 4 decreases by approximately 30%
理性消费才能买到好产品
rational customers may purchase more reliable and durable product, waiting until many people already have them.
reason: 消费者可以得到用户的评价,做出更明智的决定。
