①In our modern social life, there are many examples around us show many people are cheated. Advertisements cheat people, salesmen cheat people, even one's closest friends cheat him or her. So many heartbreaks are heard everyday that we cannot help asking: where is our honest exist?
Everybody is taught honest in the primary school or even in the kindergarten. Honesty does good not only to ourselves, but to others as well. If we are honest to others. We will be happier and be in a better mood. Otherwise, we'll feel guilt at last. To a company and its advertisement, honesty will bring it more consumer and more profit. If we cheat others, friends will never believe you and they will leave you alone. To a company, no consumer will buy your product again.
So, as the above is said, it pays to be honest. Let's create a morally outstanding social.
②Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, some businessmen sell fake products to their consumers; some students cheat in the exams.

Everybody is taught honest in the primary school or even in the kindergarten. Honesty does good not only to ourselves, but to others as well. If we are honest to others.

②Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, some businessmen sell fake product to their consumers; some students cheat in the exam s.
Dishonest people are short-sighted. Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers won't buy their products any more. As a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison. By contrast, honest people gain a lot. Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other people as well. Such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends. Because they are trustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job. Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest. So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later.

④How 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 impossible for us to read all the books. What's more, there are many bad books that are poisonous to our mind, and we shouldn't read them. Since we can't read all the books and we shouldn't read bad books, we must read selectively．
But others may not agree. They emphasize that today's society is not what it was If one man has many kinds of knowledge he'll have more chances to succeed. If a man knows much 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．（14分）
⑤Some people think reading shall be choosed. Because some books are good to hummen beings and some books are harmful to people．
Some people think that men shoud read books widely. Because wide reading can help man get much knowledge. And man can use it to change the world. It is my point that reading must be selectively. Because reading is important to man. Some books can help man but some books can lead some people to crime. It can be seen in the newspapers and watched on TV. We can make full use of some good books and gain more useful knowledge. It can make our life more beauiful. We must give up those unhelpful books. They are not good to us. Reading them is wasting time and money. So reading selectively is an important part in reading．（8分）
②I think reading not only selectively but also extensively. Because the two sides are not contradict. Our time is limited. So we can not read every book in the world. However, we will not be interested in every book. We should read those books may be useful to ours, read those books which we like. But those books which we choose must be extensively so it can give ours all kinds of knowledge, news and so on, it also make ours become a wise man. On the one hand reading selectively let ours not waste our time which it is limitted. Moreover it can emphasis among all books that we can read. On the other hand reading extensively can deal with all kinds of need in our life. They are all useful to ours．（5分）
③Most people thought that read books should have been selectived. But others belived reading extentively was correction．
Selective books or reading extensively?
Sure, you can choice one from previous ideas,
on one hand, There are too book to read for us. We should choose those which we intrested,
9
新东方在线 [ ]考博英语网络课堂电子教材系列 词汇 and it would be helpful for us．
on another hand. Someone's intresting was wide. Each book could bring you specific contain we couldn't reading at only one level．
I confirmed all of these ideas were good but weren't wise．
As a reader, the main task is to discover more and more books the second task is to held some which wonderful and helpful for us. Don't treat these books with rackless abandon．
The best technology of reading is connect． (2分)
①When it comes to reading, some people think that reading selectively is a good way, but some other people do not agree with them, they think that reading extensively is better．
Those people, who think that reading selectively is better, believe that good books are as many as bad books. Those good books can give us pleasure and knowledge, while those bad books can only lead us to the wrong way. So, they suggest that we should only choose the good books to read and never touch the bad books．
But, the other people, who hold that reading extensively is better, think that one kind of books can only give us one aspect of knowledge. Even the best book only contains one field of information. So, they can easily come to the conclusion that "to know more, to read more"．So they believe that reading extensively is better． （11分）

Should College Students Be Allowed to Get Married?
There is no denying the fact that it is a hotly debated topic today whether college students should be allowed to get married. As we know, the ban on college students getting married was lifted some time ago. Yet people’s attitudes differ sharply on this issue. Some hold the positive view. They say that most college students are adults and that it is a basic right for those who have reached the appropriate ages to get married．（The ban on this means a severe violation of human rights.）
Besides, they argue that with their physical and emotional needs met, these students will be better motivated to study．（Forbidding them getting married would most possibly result in a series of social problems, such as illegal cohabiting and unmarried parents.）
Many others, however, hold the negative/opposite view. They claim that the university or college is a place to study instead of a community to lead a family life. Allowing college students to get married would adversely affect their study. they would spend too much time not be able to perform well academically or graduate on time．
As far as I am concerned, // Weighing the arguments of both sides, I believe that it is feasible to allow college students to get married. Anyway, this is their freedom. Actually, we don’t have to worry too much because facts have shown that most college students would choose not to get married in the face of such fierce competition and heavy school work．
（或 As far as I am concerned, ∥Weighing the arguments of both sides, I believe that college students should not be allowed to get married. Though mostly adults, they are actually immature psychologically. Their wish to get married is, more often than not, an impulse. Besides, as students, they are not ready to support a family financially．

Directions: Write a composition of about 250 words on "Online Sharing Culture"
Your composition is to include 3 paragraphs:
1) In the first paragraph, state your point of view.
2) In the second paragraph, support your view with appropriate details.
3) In the third paragraph, bring your composition to a natural conclusion.
No one can have failed to notice the fact that there has emerged a number of novel trends along with the development of the Internet, among which is the so-called online sharing culture, which refers to the practice of displaying one’s or others’ private information on the Internet. What is revealed and shared in this way can include one’s salary, romance and other data that was considered personal and kept as secrets in the past. To this phenomenon, people’s views differ sharply. Some hold the positive view while others are strongly against it. Personally, I believe that this kind of culture has reasons to continue it existence, but it should be guided towards the right direction.
On the one hand, online sharing culture has some merits to its name. For one thing, it provides people with a precious way to be exposed to more information. Thanks to its feature of anonymity, the Internet allows people to convey and share much information that they dare not or too shy to communicate in other ways. For instance, you might risk being sacked or mocked if you disclose the list of your salary to your colleagues or acquaintances. But on line, no one knows if you are a man or a dog, as the saying goes. Secondly, online sharing culture can help solve many social problems and boost the development of the country. By revealing some dark sides of the society, online sharing can draw public attention to certain injustices and work as a supervisor over the authorities. On the other hand, online sharing may do harm.
On the whole, online sharing culture has its merits and drawbacks. However, one should not give up eating for fear of being choked. The best policy, as I see it, is to exert more supervision on the information on line and make sure that people are the best informed and their privacy is well protected in the meanwhile.

Directions: read the following passage carefully and then write a summary of it in English in about 120 words.
The success or failure of a company abroad depends on how effectively its employees can exercise their skills in a new location. That ability will depend on both their job-related expertise and the individual's sensitivity and responsiveness to the new cultural environment. One of the most common factors contributing to failure in international business assignments is the erroneous assumption that if a person is successful in the home environment, he or she will be equally successful in applying technical expertise in a different culture.
Research has shown that failures in the overseas business setting most frequently result from an inability to understand and adapt to foreign ways of thinking and acting rather than from technical or professional incompetence. At home U.S. businesspeople equip themselves with vast amount of knowledge of their employees, customers, and business partners. Market research provides detailed information on values, attitudes, and buying preferences of U.S. consumers; middle-and upper-level managers are well versed in the intricacies of their organization's culture; and labor negotiators must be highly sensitive to what motivates those on the other side of the table. Yet when North Americans turn to the international arena, they frequently are willing to deal with customers, employees, and fellow workers with a lack of information that at home would be unimaginable.
The literature on international business is filled with examples of business miscues when U.S. corporations attempted to operate in an international context. Some are mildly amusing. Others are downright embarrassing. All of them, to one degree or another, have been costly in terms of money, reputation, or both. For example, when American firms try to market their products in other countries, they often assume that if a marketing strategy or slogan is effective in Cleveland, it will be equally effective in other parts of the world. But problems arise when cultural context changes.
Just as inattention to the cultural context can result in some costly blunders in marketing and management, it also can affect seriously the success of international business negotiations. Time, effort, reputation, and even contracts can be lost because of cultural ignorance. The world is
12
新东方在线 [ ]考博英语网络课堂电子教材系列 词汇 changing faster than most of us can calculate, and if American businesspersons are to meet the challenges of an increasingly interdependent world, they will need to develop a better understanding of how cultural variables influence international business enterprises. A healthy dialogue between cultures and members of the international business community will be an important step in achieving that needed understanding.

The word Renaissance means “rebirth. ” A number of people who lived in Italy between 1350 and 1550 believed that they had witnessed a rebirth of antiquity or Greco-Roman civilization, marking a new age. To them, the thousand or so years between the end of the Roman Empire and their own era was a middle period (hence the “Middle Ages”)，characterized by darkness because of its lack of classic culture. Historians of the nineteenth century later used similar terminology to describe this period in Italy. The Swiss historian and art critic Jacob Burckhardt created the modern concept of the Renaissance in his celebrated Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy published in 1860．He portrayed Italy in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries as the birthplace of the modern world (the Italians were “the firstborn among the sons of modern Europe”) and saw the revival of antiquity，“the perfecting of the individual，” and secularism as its distinguishing features. Burckhardt exaggerated the individuality and secularism of the Renaissance and failed to recognize the depths of its religious sentiment; nevertheless, he established the framework for all modern interpretations of the Renaissance. Although contemporary scholars do not believe that the Renaissance represents a sudden or dramatic cultural break with the Middle Ages, as Burckhardt argued-there was, after all, much continuity in economic, political, and social life between the two periods-the Renaissance can still be viewed as a distinct period of European history that manifested itself first in Italy and then spread to the rest of Europe.
Renaissance Italy was largely an urban society. As a result of its commercial preeminence and political evolution, northern Italy by the mid-fourteenth century was mostly a land of independent cities that dominated the country districts around them. These city-states became the centers of Italian political, economic, and social life. Within this new urban society, a secular spirit emerged as increasing wealth created new possibilities for the enjoyment of worldly things.
Above all, the Renaissance was an age of recovery from the “calamitous fourteenth century. ” Italy and Europe began a slow process of recuperation from the effects of the Black Death, political disorder, and economic recession. This recovery was accompanied by a rebirth of the culture of classical antiquity. Increasingly aware of their own historical past, Italian intellectuals became intensely interested in the Greco-Roman culture of the ancient Mediterranean world. This new revival of classical antiquity (the Middle Ages had in fact preserved much of ancient Latin culture) affected activities as diverse as politics and art and led to new attempts to reconcile the pagan philosophy of the Greco-Roman world with Christian thought, as well as new ways of viewing human beings.
A revived emphasis on individual ability became characteristic of the Italian Renaissance. As the fifteenth-century Florentine architect Leon Battista Alberti expressed it: “Man can do all things if they will. ” A high regard for human dignity and worth and a realization of individual potentiality created a new social ideal of the well-rounded personality or universal person who was capable of achievements in many areas of life.
These general features of the Italian Renaissance were not characteristic of all Italians but were primarily the preserve of the wealthy upper classes, who constituted a small percentage of the
13
新东方在线 [ ]考博英语网络课堂电子教材系列 词汇 total population. The achievements of the Italian Renaissance were the product of an elite, rather than a mass, movement. Nevertheless, indirectly it did have some impact on ordinary people, especially in the cities, where so many of the intellectual and artistic accomplishments of the period were most visible.

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and then write a summary of it in English in about 120 words.
World population is expanding at a rate never before remotely approached in the whole course of history: a net gain of 2 percent per annum, so that the 6,000,000,000 people on the earth today will present another 65,000,000 mouths to be fed by this time next year. It is a fearsome thought that this time tomorrow there will be added to world population some 180,000 persons, or a number equal to the total population of a city like Aberdeen, Swansea or Sunderland. Basically the increasing rate of world population growth is the result of recent advances in medical science and skill. The knowledge and practice of what has been called death control have overtaken the knowledge and practice of birth control. Mainly over the past half century, wherever modern medicine and health services have penetrated infant mortality and maternal mortality have been reduced to a small fraction of the old figures; the old killing diseases such as smallpox, diphtheria, tuberculosis, yellow fever, cholera and plague, have been so far brought under control as to have lost their terror; the life cycles of disease organisms causing such diseases as malaria are known, and complete eradication depends solely on intensification of removal measures; powerful new drugs are at hand to control threatened epidemics which might previously have decimated whole populations. As a result, expectation of life at birth has been doubled in many countries. In most parts of the world adequately served by Western medicine a baby boy at birth may expect to live nearly 70 years, a baby girl a couple of years longer. By way of contrast, over the same period crude birth-rates have undergone relatively little change. In only a very few countries are the results of positive family planning obvious-the most notable exception being land-hungry Japan where there has been a drastic reduction in the birth-rate. Increasing population is virtually universal. The former belief that the more advanced countries were reaching a peak as the desire for material comforts competed with the desire for a family was shattered by the post-war figures, for the other end of the scale, the highest rates of increase are in the developing countries, such as those of Africa and Latin America, where improved medical services have their greatest impact.

3．Looking Forward to the New Reform of College English in China
（1）
There is no denying the fact that the reform of college English teaching is a hotly debated topic today. People's attitudes differ sharply on this issue. Some hold that with the variety of advanced courseware introduced into English teaching, students can learn English by themselves. They can watch and listen to dialogues, read after the speaker, do exercises and check answers, or they can even talk to the computer. All this made some people believe that college English teachers can be done without.
Others, however, hold the opposite view. They claim that teachers, though confronted with challenges, are still indispensable in English teaching. In the first place, they can work as supervisors and directors for students in English study. In the second place, they can work as organizers in class in case of dialogues or discussions. Last but not least, some questions have to be explained personally, for computers solve every problem for students.
As far as I am concerned, I believe that teachers are necessary. But further reforms still should be carried out. For one thing, English should be arranged as an optional course instead of a required one. For another, competition should be introduced among the teachers and students should be allowed to choose the teacher they like the most.

Many others, however, hold the opposite view. They claim that although English teacher face to challenge, their functions are still important today. Traditional teaching methord has superiority. Whenever they always need teacher's care and guide in the prosess of English study.
Weighing the arguments mentioned above, I am inclined to agree with the latter point of view. I believe that college teacher can not be replaced. Though electronic 课件 bring us many conveniences, it cannot achieve communication between teacher and student. Besides, college cannot refuse to use modem technological means. We had better connect the advantage of traditional teaching with the advantage of modern technology.

1) In the first paragraph, state your point of view.
2) In the second paragraph, support you view with appropriate details.
3) In the third paragraph, bring your composition to a natural conclusion.
1. Online Sharing Culture
No one can have failed to notice the fact that there has emerged a number of novel trends along with the development of the Internet, among which is the so-called online sharing culture, which refers to the practice of displaying one’s or others’ private information on the Internet. What is revealed and shared in this way can include one’s salary, romance and other data that was considered personal and kept as secrets in the past. To this phenomenon, people’s views differ sharply. Some hold the positive view while others are strongly against it. Personally, I believe that this kind of culture has reasons to continue it existence, but it should be guided towards the right direction.
On the one hand, online sharing culture has some merits to its name. For one thing, it provides people with a precious way to be exposed to more information. Thanks to its feature of anonymity, the Internet allows people to convey and share much information that they dare not or too shy to communicate in other ways. For instance, you might risk being sacked or mocked if you disclose the list of your salary to your colleagues or acquaintances. But on line, no one knows if you are a man or a dog, as the saying goes. Secondly, online sharing culture can help solve many social problems and boost the development of the country. By revealing some dark sides of the society, online sharing can draw public attention to certain injustices and work as a supervisor over the authorities. On the other hand, online sharing may do harm. This is especially true when someone’s personal information is publicized without his or her permission. Thereupon, citizens’ privacy is in the face of being intruded.
On the whole, online sharing culture has its merits and drawbacks. However, one should not give up eating for fear of being choked. The best policy, as I see it, is to exert more supervision on the information on line and make sure that people are the best informed and their privacy is well protected in the meanwhile.

My Idea of Professional Ethics for a Scientist
There is no denying the fact that a distinguished scientist should not only be learned and creative but also have good professional ethics for the good of both society and the scientist himself. But what are professional ethics for a scientist? Answers may differ from person to person.
Personally, I believe that a scientist should possess the following qualities.
First of all, an eminent scientist should make sure that he is working to bring benefits to the general public rather than to make his personal gains. He should devote himself to the advancement of technology with the aim of raising the living standards of people and making our world a better place to live in.
Secondly, as a respectable scientist, he should be on good terms with other scientists.
16
新东方在线 [ ]考博英语网络课堂电子教材系列 词汇 Cooperation and mutual trust between scientists are very critical for scientific achievements.
Thirdly, a good scientist should be honest and respect the work of others. Never should he plagiarize or falsify research findings.
Last but not least, a scientist should be a responsible person. He should not make any hasty decisions. Once a decision is made he should shoulder its consequence.
In a word, an excellent scientist should have good professional ethics to win the respect of the people and contribute more to people's benefits.

Formation of Personality
There has always been much controversy over the formation of personality. While some people claim that a person's essential qualities are inherited at birth, others insist that the circumstances under which the person grows up are principally responsible for the kind of person he becomes. Personally, I believe that both of them are just partly true. Actually, inheritance and circumstances work together to decide a person's essential qualities.
On the one hand, offspring do inherit certain qualities from their parents when they are born. Though I am no expert in genetics or evolution, I do believe in the theory that certain chemicals inside human bodies determine their mood, their actions and their characters. Besides, I am a Marxist, and I firmly believe that matter decides spirit. Therefore, if a child always resembles his or her parent(s) physically, why can't he or she take after them psychologically?
On the other hand, the living environment is also responsible for the kind of person a child becomes. A case in point is the so-called "wolf kids", who, accidentally left in the care of wolves, were no at all human when they were found, not to mention their personality.
17
新东方在线 [ ]考博英语网络课堂电子教材系列 词汇 Though heritance and circumstances both work in influencing our personality, we do not treat them in the same way. The former we cannot decide, but we can try to avoid its negative influence and give better play to it merits; the latter we can often choose, therefore we should go after positive ones. Even if we cannot change the environment, we should steel ourselves against evil attractions.
5．(复旦大学2003)
Directions: Write a composition of about 180 words on the topic The Value of Failure. Your composition should be written on Answer Sheet II.
5. The Value of Failure
As the Chinese saying goes, failure is but a common thing in warfare. Actually this is true in nearly every aspect of life. However, there are two opposite attitudes towards failure. Some people see failure as a discouragement to their efforts, a shame on their reputation and a denial of their capabilities. They stop at failure, they shrink from setbacks and they quit competition. Others, however, regard failure as an indication of their shortcomings, a reminder of their negligence, and a ladder towards their success. So they correct their mistakes, make up for their shortcomings and march on.
The latter point of view, of course, is the right one we should adopt. When we are faced with such a disappointing matter, don't get frustrated. After all, as the old saying goes, failure is the mother of success. In history, we notice that some great people have achieved success after repeated failures such as Beethoven. He created Symphony Nine after he failed several times in this attempt. It's failure that stimulated his determination to succeed. It's also failure that gave him a lesson from which he benefited a lot, even in his whole life. Therefore, failure shouldn't frighten us back. After failure, the critical thing for us to do is to find out the reason, draw a lesson from it and accumulate experience in order not to commit the same mistake that leads to the same result again.
In this sense, failure is valuable. Never get yourself engrossed in frustration after failure and remember to smile in face of it. When we see failure, we should believe that success is not far ahead.

Naturally they spend less time reading books. Do you think that students today are less knowledgeable because they read fewer books?
Fewer Books, More Knowledge
There is a frequent complaint among teachers today that students read fewer books than before and that they are less knowledgeable as a result. At first sight, this argument seems reasonable. However, a careful inspection at it reveals how flimsy it is. In my view, students today are generally more knowledgeable than the elder generations.
Truly, students now spend less time reading paper books, but they spend more time surfing the internet and watching movies on DVDs. It is, as I see it, just a change in the means of acquiring knowledge.

Traditional Chinese Medicine
There is no denying the fact that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a hotly debated topic in China today. Some hold that it should be eliminated from the Chinese medical care system. They argue that TCM is "unscientific" at best and "pseudo-science" at worst.
However, I suspect that the people who wave "science" as a weapon against TCM themselves have limited ideas of what the word "science" really is, even though they have received a good science education. The word "science" originates in Latin, meaning producing knowledge. By definition, there should be no argument about TCM, since generations of TCM practitioners over centuries have accumulated rich experiences and made TCM a knowledge and a science that hundreds of millions still seek for curing diseases and improving health.
The opponents of TCM are right in their argument that TCM is not an "exact science," like chemistry or physics, and they have good reasons to tell people that TCM may not cure all and that herbal TCM concoctions some folk doctors prescribe may not be as effective as proclaimed. But they forget that Western medicine, too, does not cure all, and that over the past few decades, many "scientifically"-approved drugs are banned as a result of serious side effects.
10. Mobile Phones
There is no denying the fact that the use of mobile phones has gained increasing popularity in China in the past decades. Statistics show that almost every Chinese owns one mobile phone on average. Yet recently some have claimed the mobile phone to be a nuisance. Despite its convenience, they argue that, it often causes disturbances in public and interferes people's daily lives. Personally, I believe that the advantages of mobile phones outweigh their disadvantages.
Admittedly, we are frequently annoyed by the rings of cell phones while we are conducting a conference, or we are irritated by the loud voice of someone who is talking on phone in the subway train or a bus. Besides, our privacy is often at risk of being invaded in case our cell phones are lost or wiretapped, not to mention the trash messages we receive from time to time from those unknown.
However, we can definitely not live without cell phones. Just think of the number of calls you make and the messages you send and receive every day. It is just hard to imagine a modern world without cell phones.
To sum up, a mobile phone is a two-edged sword, which brings us both conveniences and troubles. Of course, we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The best policy, as I see it, is to maximize its merits and eliminate its unhealthy influence so that it can serve us in a better way

What Kind of Role Should Examination Play in Education?
19
新东方在线 [ ]考博英语网络课堂电子教材系列 词汇 My View on Examinations
It goes without saying that examinations play an essential role in modern society. They are used for various purposes. For one thing, a teacher may use them to measure how much progress his students have achieved after a period of instruction and the results of examinations reveal what knowledge and ability the students are lacking. Without examinations, a teacher may teach something too difficult or too easy to his students. Or he may be teaching too fast or too slowly. This will result in the failure of teaching. For another, r the results of examinations can stimulate students to compete with each other.
With the scores of exams, a student can compare his performances with others and know how to behave in the future. Without exams, however, some students may find no motivation to study. Therefore, examinations are of great use in schools and cannot be done without. Last but riot least. examinations are used for the purpose of selection and promotion. For example, with so many high school students in China and relatively few seats in colleges and universities, college entrance examination might be the only way to decide who should go to college and who should not. Therefore, examinations are of great importance to modem society．
However as every coin has two sides, examinations may also have negative effects on education. In the first place. the test results may not reflect the true level of a student. As we know, many questions in today's examinations are in the form of multiple choices. Therefore, many students can get a high score through guessing. There are even some training schools teaching students how to guess. Besides, those choice questions only test a student's ability to comprehend rather than his ability to apply what he has learned to solve practical problems. In the second place. in many schools both teachers and students work solely for high marks in exams. neglecting the all-sided development of students and their ability to solve actual problems.
This results in exam-oriented education instead of quality education. Examples have shown that Chinese students who score very high in English proficiency tests have serious communication troubles while abroad. Another case in point is that many graduates with high scores on their academic record are unable to tackle with tiny issues in their work．
To sum up, examinations should be viewed as two-edged swords, which present both conveniences and troubles. But we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The best policy. as I see it, is to maximize their advantages and eliminate their unhealthy influence. Or in other words, we should further develop examinations so that they can benefit us in a better way．

1. Say No to Pirated Products
No one can have failed to notice the fact piracy has become a grave problem with which we are confronted. Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list. In many places we see people peddling pirated books or disks. Actually, piracy has become so widespread that it has severely hindered the development of the nation's economy.
A number of factors could be responsible for this phenomenon, but the following are the most critical ones. First, pirated products are much cheaper than copyrighted ones, so they are very attractive to people, especially youngsters, who are not financially well-off. Secondly, with highly developed technology, it is not difficult to manufacture pirated products. Last but not least, relevant laws are not in existence or in effect.
Piracy is bound to generate severe consequences if we keep turning a blind eye to it. First, intellectual property rights are severely infringed upon and honest producers will lose the motivation to develop new products. Meanwhile, pirated products are often of low quality, thus damaging the interest of buyers. Finally, the destruction of pirated products means a grievous waste of the nation's resources.
In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is essential that pertinent laws and regulations be worked out and rigidly enforced to ban the manufacture and circulation of pirated products. Meanwhile, a deep-going, widespread and everlasting campaign should be launched to enhance people's awareness of protecting intellectual property rights and saying no to pirated products. With proper laws and an alert public, it will be only a matter of time before piracy becomes a thing of the past. / With these measures taken, we have reasons to believe that the problem can be solved in the near future. / Only with these measures taken can we expect a bright future.

1. Haste Makes Waste
A famous saying goes that "Haste makes waste", which means that one should do everything step by step. Even simple operations can easily be spoiled if we rush to complete them, neglecting important stages in the process. Instead, one should make full preparations before beginning any task.
History abounds with examples of haste making waste. In ancient China, a farmer pulled his young crops up to help them grow faster, only to find they all withered in the end. Another case in point is the so-called Great Leap Forward movement in China in 1950's and 1960's. At that time, the Chinese people were so eager to develop their economy that they took some too drastic measures, only to hinder the expansion of economy and led to waste of resources.
The same is true with scientific research and daily life. Here I can think of no better illustration of the proverb than the experience of my own. At the age of 11 or 12, I began to learn to ride. Eager to ride as well as others, I started by sitting on the saddle at the very beginning. Predictably, I often fell from over the bike. Lots of time had been wasted before I realized that I should do it step by step. I tried to slide by standing on one pedal. Then I began to ride the bike from under the cross bar. Finally, I succeeded.
(或The same is true in scientific research or daily life. Take English study for example. Without a good command of pronunciation, we can never hope to speak in an understandable way. Similarly, if we do not learn to spell properly and to acquire a basic grasp of grammar, we will never succeed in writing good compositions. )
In short, laying a solid foundation is essential if we want to make achievements in our studies or work, or indeed in any other aspect of our life. At every step, review what has been achieved and assess the problems ahead before moving to the next step. And remember Rome was not built in a day.

This is a simple but meaningful drawing. As we can see in it, a poor old man in shabby clothes curls into a ball. Around him are his three sons and a daughter, each of whom is keeping goal and ready to kick the old father away from himself or herself.
Apparently, this drawing is meant to reveal the problems existing with supporting the old in current society. As a civilized nation boasting a history of 5,000 years, Chinese have been known for their many virtues, one of which is respecting and loving the old. Yet in modern society, many people seem to have been deprived of this virtue. They lay more emphasis on pursuing their own happiness, ignoring their parents' benefits to a great extent.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm writing to lodge the complaint about the poor quality of an air conditioner that I
purchased from Sun Appliance Company.
Frankly speaking, Sun Appliance has always been my favorite. On July 14, 2009, I bought
the air conditioner (serial number 12345) from one of your chain stores located in Lang Fang. The
machine operated well at first, but ten days later, there was a fault that bothered me, that is, the fan

新东方在线 [ ]考博英语网络课堂电子教材系列 词汇
made so much noise that I could not sleep well at night. Worse still, the cooling system didn't work
well and the machine began to leak recently. Its poor quality ruined almost all my previous
impression toward your products.
I strongly suggest that a service engineer should be sent to my home without delay. I wonder
if you could find out the exact cause of the problem as soon as possible. If you can't, I am afraid
that I will request for full amount of refund or a new air conditioner.
I would appreciate all your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to contact me. Look forward to your reply.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Ming
5．（感谢信）
I'm writing to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the nurses and doctors in your hospital.
Last month, while I was on a business trip in Taiyuan, Shanxi province, I suffered from a bad
cold and a fever, so I was sent to Ward Rom 201, Chaoyang Medical Center. During my stay at
hospital, nurses on duty patiently took my temperature, regularly examined my body, and often fed
meals to me. In addition, doctors prescribed me the most effective drugs and gave the best medical
advice. Thanks to the constant care from the hospital staff, I recovered quickly. Now that I have
returned home, the excellent service of your hospital still impresses me. I believe that as patient, I
have received the most professional treatment and the most considerate care.
Please allow me to convey my sincere greetings toward the doctors and nurses that contribute
all their efforts, patience and energy to their patients. Nothing can express my gratitude except my
best wishes to them. If you have anything that needs my help, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I, the undersigned, left my wallet in Cafeteria No. 2 on January 15, 2010 due to my
carelessness. It is a black wallet of genuine leather.
The wallet is of vital importance to me. It contains my various cards, including my resident
identity card, student card and some bank cards. Most importantly, it has in it the last picture that I
have of my girlfriend, whose life was taken away in the 5.12 earthquake.
Would the kind finder take the trouble to return the wallet to me? I would offer any
reasonable sum of money as a reward. Or he/she can keep the cash in it and post the wallet to me.

1．The Goal of Life
A story goes that a disabled young British managed to surmount all famous high mountains in the world before he was 28. He did all this as his parents told him to do in their will, which they left him before they went to climb a high mountain in Africa and died there. The young man, however, committed suicide in the end and his last words were: "Now I have nothing to do with all my goals achieved and my fame well established. I have no new goals."
This story might not be true, but it conveys profound messages. First, one should have a grand (great) ideal and combine (connect) it with the needs of society. Secondly, one should have his own pursuits and should not follow others blindly. This story is especially instructive when we think of similar examples around us. Some people, after making a fortune (a lot of money), feel empty and desperate, resorting to (turning) to drugs or other low styles (ways) of life. Still more young people do the same because they are in lack of lofty (great) ideals and are only drifting with the tide (following others).
As far as I am concerned, I would like to devote myself to any cause that is beneficial to mankind. My short-term goal is to learn about environmental protection and find a job in this field. And I believe this is a meaningful and useful career. It is worth my life-long efforts. I will keep finding and attaining new goals in this field.
