Turn off Your Mobile Phone(关掉你的手机) 1、With the development of information technology and reduced price of communication products,the mobile phone has become a necessity for most people. 随着信息技术的发展和通讯产品的价格降低,移动电话成为一种必然对大多数人来说。Obviously, it shortens the distance between people and makes our life more convenient. Thanks to it, it's easy for us to contact or be contacted by others anytime and anywhere. 显然,它缩短了人们之间的距离,使我们的生活更方便。谢谢,我们很容易接触或由他人接触随时随地。 2、However,have you noticed that the mobile phone also brings embarrassment to people? 然而,你注意到手机也带来尴尬的人吗? It's not rare to see some pressing the mobile phone to his ear and shouting loudly in public as if there were no one else present. 这不是很少看到一些紧迫的手机到他的耳边,在公共场合大声喧哗,如果没有其他人在场。It is more than likely that you have noticed that the mobile phones ring continuously on a formal occasion. 它可能比你已经注意到了:手机戒指上继续在正式的场合穿。 people around them have to listen to the noise and they can't concentrate on what they're doing. 周围的人听的噪音和他们无法集中精力于他们做的事情。 Making a Phone Call or Writing a Letter(打电话还是写信) 1、When there is a need to communicate with people,we either make a phone call or write a letter.Some people like making a phone call while others prefer writing a letter. 当有一个需要与人沟通时,我们或者打电话或写信。有些人喜欢打个电话,有些人则更喜欢写一封信。 2、The advantage of phoning is evident. It is handy and fast.We can contact whomever we want to and talk with him right away.By making phone calls,people can discuss things as if they were in the same room.However,there are still some people who prefer to write letters.There is no doubt that letters are less expensive than long-distance calls.Besides it is a better choice for those who are not good at expressing themselves orally.However,it takes days,even weeks for a letter to reach its destination. 打电话的优势是显而易见的。这是方便快捷。我们可以联系我们想和谁跟他谈谈吧。通过打电话,人们可以讨论事情,如果他们在同一个房间。然而,仍有一些人喜欢写信。毫无疑问,信是便宜比长途电话。除了是一个更好的选择对于那些不善于表达自己口服药。然而,它需要几天,甚至几周内一封信要到达目的地。 3、Both making a phone call and writing a letter are effective means of communication. It seems advisable to make use of them both on different occassions. 两打个电话和写一封信是有效的通讯手段。看来明智使用他们两个不同的场合。 My Favorite Mode of Travel(我喜欢的旅行方式) 1、With the improvement of people’s living standards,more and more people are making a holiday trip to places of interest.while many like to join p ackage tours for convenience’s sake,I prefer to travel by myself. 随着人民生活水平的提高,越来越多的人正在度假旅行名胜古迹。虽然许多想参加旅行团为了方便起见,我更偏好自己旅行。 2、I like traveling on my own not only because it costs less but because it gives me freedom.Traveling on my o wn,I’m my own boss and ca n decide when to start or where to linger I can adjust my own plan.By contrast,in a package tour you’re deprived of such freedom as you are supposed to follow the agenda of the tour team. 我喜欢自己旅行不仅因为它花费要少些,但因为它给了我的自由。 在我自己的旅游 我是自己的老板和可以决定什么时候出发去哪里逗留或我可以调整自己的计划。 相比之下, 在包价旅游你剥夺了这样的自由,你应该按照议程的旅游团队。 3、True,you may encounter inconveniences if you travel alone;getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals might give you headaches.But nothing can be compared with freedom—the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip to be free from constrains of the routine life. 真的,你可能会遇到麻烦,如果你独自旅行。 得到住宿过夜,想找一个地方吃饭也许会把你的头痛。 但无法相比,自由-自由是至关重要的对一个人需要度假旅行不受约束的日常生活。 Online Chatting(网上聊天) 1、Online chatting as a new way of communication is becoming more and more popular,especially with you youngsters.Chatting online,people can make friends,exchange information and air their views.They tend to regard it as a means of relaxation,for they think it’s easier to

for students.Spending too much time chatting online will make them addicted to it and affected to it and affect their studies.Furthermore,unhealthy information may corrupt young Internet users. 然而,一些人持有不同的观点。他们认为这是在浪费我们的时间,尤其是对学生基本技能的培养。花太多的时间在网上聊天会使他们上瘾了,影响,影响他们的学习。此外,不良信息可能侵蚀年轻互联网用户。 3、As a coin has two sides,online chatting has both advantages and disadvantages.We are not supposed to steer away from it because of its negative effects.What we should do is to reduce the negative effects to the minimum and make online chatting as beneficial as possible to our life and studies. 作为一个硬币有两面,网上聊天既有优点也有缺点。我们不应该避免远离它是因为它的负面影响。我们应该做的是减少负面影响到最低限度,并使网上聊天是有益的,我们的生活尽可能的研究。 A Thirsty World(干渴的世界) The world is not only hungry,it is also thirsty for water.This may seem strange to you since nearly 75 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water.but about 97 percent of this huge amount is seawater,or salt water.Man can only drink and use the other percent—the fresh water that comes from rivers,lakes,underground and other sources.But unforunately,some of it has been polluted and is unfit for drinking.However,this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.But our need for water is increasing rapidly—almost day by day. 世界是不仅饿了,它也是渴水。这似乎有点奇怪,你既然近75%的地球表面被水覆盖着,但是大约97%的这个数量庞大的海水或盐水。人只能喝,但用其他新鲜水来自河流、湖泊、地下和其他来源。但不幸的是,其中一些已经被污染,不宜饮用。然而,这少量的新鲜水仍对于我们来说足够了。但是我们需要水快速增长——几乎似一天。 Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on.So we all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water.One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing water.Today in most large cities water is used only once and then discharged.But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying plant,and then it can be used again.Another way out is to turn to the oceans.That is certainly a possible solution.All we’d have to do is to remove the salt.This process is already in use in many parts of the world. 如果我们采取措施来处理这个问现在我们能避免严重的全球水资源短缺的一个部分。所以我们都要学会如何停止浪费我们宝贵的水。我们的最初步骤之一是开发方面应采取的再利用的水。今天许多大城市里的水是仅使用一次,然后解雇了。但很可能管道水净化处理厂使用,即可重复使用。另一个办法是把到海洋。这无疑是一个可能的解决。所有我们想要做的是消除盐。这个过程已经被使用在世界上许多地方。 How to Cope with Stress?(如何减轻压力) It is often believed that only rich middle-aged businessmen suffer from stress.In fact anyone may become ill as a result of stress if they experience a lot of worry over a long period and their health is not especially good.Stress can be a friend or an enemy:it can warn you that you are under too much pressure and should change your way of life.It can kill you if you don’t notice the warning signals. 它经常被相信,只有丰富的中年商人遭受压力。事实上,有人可能会生病由于压力,如果出现很多长期忧虑和健康并不是特别好。压力可以是朋友呢,还是个敌人:它能提醒你,你目前的压力太大,应该改变你的生活方式。它可以杀死你,如果你不注意到警告信号。 As with ail illnesses,prevention is better than cure.If you find you can’t relax,it is a sign of danger.When you’re taking work home,when you can’t enjoy evening with friends,when you haven’t time for outdoor exercise—that is the time to stop and ask yourself whether your present life really suits you.Then it’s time to join a relaxation class,or take up dancing,painting or gardening. 随着基础疾病,预防胜于治疗。如果你发现你不能放松,这是危险的信号。当你把工作带回家,当你不喜欢晚上与朋友在一起,当你没有时间的户外活动,这是一次停下来问问自己是否你现在的生活真的很适合你。然后加入一个放松的班,或者拿起舞蹈、绘画或园艺的乐趣。 Sport and Sportsmen(体育与运动员) The word “sport”first meant something that people did in their free time.Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games.This is the usual meaning of the word today.People spend a lot of their spare time playing football,basketball,tennis and many other sports.Such people play because they want to.A few people are paid for only a few years,but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. “运动”这个词意味着什么,人们做了第一次在他们的空闲时间。后来它通常意味着狩猎野生动物和鸟类。大约一百年前,这个词被优先用于组织比赛。这里通常是今天这个字的意思。人们花费很多业余时间踢足球,篮球,网球,还有很多其他的运动。这样的人,因为他们想玩。很少人支付短短的十几年,但在这段时间内,最好能赚到很多的钱。 For example,a professional footballer in England earns more than 150000 pounds a year.The stars earn a lot more.Internation golf and tennis champions can make more than 500000 pounds in a year.Of course,only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.It is only possible in sports for individuals,like golf,tennis and motor racing.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this:the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. 例如,一名职业足球运动员在英格兰年薪超过150000英镑一年。星星赚了一大笔。国际高尔夫球和网球冠军能使超过500000英镑一年。当然,只有很少的运动员可以赚多少钱。它是唯一的可能在体育为个人,喜欢高尔夫球,网球和赛车。也许最令人惊奇的是:运动员和金钱星星可以赚更多的钱,比从从广告运动。 The Pleasures and Pains of Childhood(童年的快乐和痛苦) Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If achild has good parents,he is fed,looked after and loved,whatever he may do.It is improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition,life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. A child finds pleasure in plaything in the rain,or in the snow.His first visit to the seaside is a marvellous adventure. 童年的时候,很少有责任使生活困难。如果孩子的父母,他是具有良好喂养,照顾和爱,不管他。它是不可能,他将再次在他的生活中也得到这么多而不要做任何回报。此外,生活总是呈现新东西要孩子-这些已经失去了对年纪大的人,因为他们太著名的。一个孩子发现乐趣的玩物在雨中,或在雪中。他第一次到海边一个绝妙的冒险。 But a child has his pains:he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are;he is continually being told not to do things,or being punished for what he has done wrong.His life is continually being told not to do thongs,or being punished for what he has done wrong.His life is therefore not perfectly happy. 但是一个孩子都有他的烦恼:他们不能自由自在地做他表示他认为年纪大的人,他常被告知不能做的事情,他们会受到惩罚自己做错了什么。他的生活常被告知不能做捆上,他们会受到惩罚自己做错了什么。他的生活因此不完全幸福。 The Purpose of School(学校教育的目的) We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves.They learn their own language so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know,and understand what others tell them.They learn foreign languages in order to be able to benefit from what people in other countries have written and said,and in order to make people from other countries understand what they themselves mean.They learn arithmetic in order to be able to measure and count things in their daily life,geography in order to know something about the world around them,and history to know something about human beings they meet every day.Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life,but is that the only reason why they go to school? 我们送孩子上学要让他们的时候他们将是大的,而且要为自己工作。他们学习自己的语言,以便他们能够明确告诉别人他们想要的东西,他们所知道的,并理解别人告诉他们的。他们学习外语是为了能够获益在其它国家的人所写的说,为了使其他国家的人明白他们的意思。他们学习算术为了能够测量和计算的东西在他们的日常生活中,学习地理是为了了解周围的世界,学习历史是为了了解他们每天遇见的每个人。他们在学校所学的东西几乎在生活中都有实际用途,但那是唯一的原因,他们上学了吗? No.There is more in education than just learning facts,We go to school,above all,to learn how to learn,so that,when we have left school,we can continue to learn.A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful,because whenever he has to do something new which he has never had to do before,he will rapidly teach himself how to do it in the best way.The uneducated person,on the other hand,is either unable to do something new,or does it badly.The purpose of school,therefore,is not just to teach languages,arithmetic,geography,etc.,but teach pupils the way to learn. 没有。教育不仅仅是学习事实,我们去上学,首先,要学会怎样学习,这样,当我们离开学校时,我们能继续学习。一个真正懂得怎样学习的人总是会成功的,因为无论何时他都要做新的事情,他从未做过的事,他都会快速地教自己如何以最好的方式。未受过教育的人,另一方面,要么是不能做新的事情,或做得很糟。学校的目的,因此,不仅仅是教语言、数学、地理、等等,但教会学生学习的方法。 6、Career Hopping(跳槽) Today,growing numbers of men and women are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater appeal to them.Many of those who find that their work is unsatisfactory retrain themselves for a different occupation. Job changes and careers shifts occur at all ages.It is estimated that as many as one out of four male workers between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four.Some married women combine child-rearing responsibilities with new career lines. Motives for changing careers vary widely,but many people move because they feel bored with the dull routine.For some,a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing,and they decide to do what they enjoy.Most go back to school to get the training they need to make the shifts. 16、Should College Students Do Part-time Jobs?(大学生应当做业余兼职吗?) Most students think that doing part-time jobs when studying at college can provide them with an opportunity to get in touch with the society.Also,some students do part-time jobs to support themselves.They are said to work through college. However,it’s no t easy to find jobs which are suitable for students.Some jobs requiring long hours of tedious work under tough conditions may do harm to their health.Besides,some jobs may expose them to the negative aspects of society—dishonesty and corruption. Therefore,students should take a second thought in deciding whether they should do part-time jobs or what kind of jobs they should choose.If they are luckly enough to take a good job,it will benefit them enormously.Otherwise,it may waste their time and their energy._ 14、My View on E-mail(我对电子邮件的看法) Electronic mail,or E-mail for short,is a new way of communication by means of computers.Fast,cheap and convenient,E-mail is so popular that it has become an indispensable means of communication. Million of computers all over the world have been connected to form a global network,namely the Internet.You can send and receive by E-mail documents,letters and papers to anyone in other countries in no time.By using E-mail you can also store,delete,compile information.In a word,E-mail helps you overcome spatial and time limitations in communication. W ith the rapidly growing popularity of computers and the expansion of information highway,E-mail is expected to play a more and more important role in our lives. 11、Living in a city—a Crazy Idea(住在城市—疯狂的念头) Tired of the city life,some city—dwellers opt for city suburbs as their residence.They are flocking there to avoid people—in the city,wherever you look,it’s people,people,people. It’s not strange for them complain about the living c onditions in the city.It takes ages for a bus to get to you because the traffic on the roads has virtually come to a standstill.The subways which leave or arrive every few minutes are packed:an endless procession of human sardine tins.All the simple,good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium.Tall buildings bolt out the sun.The flow of traffic goes on continuously and the noise never stops. Decades of years ago,people were crazy about crowding into the city.Now more and more people believe that only a madman would choose to live in a large modern city. 9、How to Behave in an Interview(如何应付面试) In order to make a good impression during a job interview,you need to prepare yourself for it.You must arrive in plenty of time for the interview,so that you give yourself a little time to relax before the interview beings. The impression you make as you walk into the room is very improtant.Try to find out if the company or organization has rules about dress,Then try to dress according to their regulations. You also need to plan what you are going to say. In some interviews you will have to do a lot of talking, and in others you will only have to answer a few questions about your education and experience.You need to have answers ready about yourself,your schoolwork,your strong points,your reasons for applying for the job,and the salary you expect. You will also be allowed to ask some questions.The questions you ask will show the interviewer that you have given careful thought to the position.You can ask questions like these:What duties will I have to do in the job?Does the company provide health insurance?Does the company provide opportunities for further education? 6、Career Hopping(跳槽) Today,growing numbers of men and women are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater appeal to them.Many of those who find that their work is unsatisfactory retrain themselves for a different occupation. Job changes and careers shifts occur at all ages.It is estimated that as many as one out of four male workers between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four.Some married women combine child-rearing responsibilities with new career lines. Motives for changing careers vary widely,but many people move because they feel bored with the dull routine.For some,a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing,and they decide to do what they enjoy.Most go back to school to get the training they need to make the shifts.
