1. The Significance of Lifelong Education

Decades ago, due to the low standard of living in China, only a smal l percentage of the nation's population could receive college educat ion. Once given the opportunity, one would surely secure a well-pai d and much-respected job, which he or she would probably do for a lifetime. Therefore, to secure a college degree used to be the ultim ate goal of a person's education.

Today, however, we are living in what is called a "knowledge society ", where creative ideas and innovations are generated at a fantastic speed. One must constantly renew one's knowledge and upgrade o ne's skills so as to meet the needs of the changing world. Moreover, at the stage of general education, it is pointless for a person to atte mpt to know everything. When one is required to settle down to be a specialist in a specific field, one has to make an in-depth study of the subject one is supposed to know. In this sense, general educati on can provide students with only a passport to lifelong education. As Robert Maynard Hutchins once said, the object of education is t o prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. In my opinion, life in modern society is not only a process of "learni ng to live" but also a process of "living to learn". The slogan "Live an d Learn" can best reflect the concept of lifelong education.

2. Should Family Schooling Exist?

Meng Mu Tang, a private school in Shanghai, is modeled after the e ducational system of ancient Chinese home schools, which favored rote memorization and recitation of classic works. But the local edu cation authorities in Shanghai have declared it illegal according to a report in 21st Century. Should family schooling exist? What role sh ould it play?

In my opinion, family schooling should be permitted to play a positi ve role in the current educational system in China. Every family shou ld be free to choose the form of education that best suits their child ren's interests and natural gifts. Although the existing education sys tem in China has remarkably improved, it does not fit each child pe rfectly. Since family schooling provides a means to develop a perso n's talents and unique interest, Meng Mu Tang, as a private school geared to a specific group of children, should not be banned in hast e. In view of the current dynamic, quality-minded educational refor ms in China, we should permit family schooling to enrich and divers ify our educational system.

On the other hand, home schooling should adapt itself to the mode rn world. To prepare children for the future, it should equip them w ith knowledge and innovative power so that they can cope with the development of the modern world. While tapping children's innate

talents on an individual basis, family schooling should never neglect their all-round development. Meng Mu Tang may not be a perfect private school, but we should let it live and have a try so that family schooling may eventually become an indispensable component of our formal education.

1. My Views on Cultural Differences

In my opinion, cultural differences have more advantages than disa dvantages. First of all, it is cultural differences that make our world so colorful. If you go to a foreign country, you will be impressed not only by its physical environment but also by its cultural environme nt — its foods, clothes, customs, social practices, etc. Differences b etween cultures have always been a source of joy and inspiration. Secondly, differences in culture enrich human civilization. Different cultures compete with as well as learn from each other. R oman culture was modeled on Greek culture, which had once borro wed a lot from Egyptian culture. American culture is also a blend of many different cultures.

Thirdly, differences in culture give each culture its unique identity. A culture is usually seen in relation to other cultures. Chinese culture distinguishes itself from others by its peculiar concepts and things that can hardly be found elsewhere. Of course, cultural differences

may cause conflicts and misunderstandings. But interdependence, c ommon interests and mutual goals of different nations always outw eigh differences in culture. Nations with different cultures should le arn from each other and live peacefully together. To this end, we sh ould be more tolerant to other cultures while preserving, protecting and developing our own.

2. My Views on the Influence of Western Culture

On weekends, I gather with my friends at MacDonald's or KFC. We eat fried chicken, drink Coco-cola and talk about the latest release of Hollywood movies. We read foreign novels, listen to Western mu sic and watch NBA. We admire Bill Gates, George Michael and Princ ess Diana. We dress ourselves in the Western style and celebrate Ch ristmas and Valentine's Day. Our way of life has thus changed. Inde ed, the influence of Western culture is strongly felt in our everyday life.

This influence in turn prepares us well to blend into the modern wo rld and participate in the world market competition. But we should not ignore its side effects. Our national culture may gradually lose it s ground if our attention is focused only upon Western culture. In f ollowing the trend of globalization we should maintain our own cul tural identity, cherish our cultural tradition and develop our own cu lture. What Mahatma Gandhi once said can best sum up my views

on the influence of Western culture: "I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cult ures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possib le. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any."

1. My favorite Sports Team: the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team In quite a few sports, Chinese women athletes outshine men athlet es. As a girl, I always feel proud of our women table tennis players, badminton players, women divers and gymnasts. But my greatest e nthusiasm always goes to the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team, w ho, though it has undergone some ups and downs, always presents a positive, inspiring image to the public. I've never missed any major TV shows involving the Chinese women's team. I can't help getting excited watching the girls shine in court, with their amazing spikes a nd blocks, and their never-ceasing courage and faith in winning the match. There are times when they lose the game, sometimes with embarrassing result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer a lot of injuries and new players do not match up to the veterans, yet, on e must admit that the Chinese girls have been practising very hard all the way.

Recent years has witnessed a difficult period for the team when Ru ssian, American, Cuban, and Brazilian teams are rising in ranking an

d winning championships, but I still hav

e faith in our team and give them my support. I wish them good luck in the coming Olympics.

2. Benefits from Hosting the Olympic Games

July of 2001 witnessed a wave of national excitement in our land: B eijing had won the bid to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. It symbolized the strength of our country and roused our national pri de.

Since then a lot of changes have taken place in Beijing. Citizens of B eijing are now enjoying better transportation facilities, and the phy sical environment has improved significantly. With the construction of athletic venues, municipal infrastructure and other relevant facil ities, new job opportunities have been created. A boom in Olympic-related businesses and industries has taken place not only in Beijing but also elsewhere.

Hosting the Olympic Games is also a mega cultural event. It is a goo d opportunity to increase the international profile of the host city. Now more and more people are drawn to Beijing, and there has ap peared a new boom in tourism. Preparations for the 2008 Olympic Games have given rise to numerous cultural and

educational programs focusing on the citizens' commitment and de dication to this international event. Such programs have not only ge nerated a widespread interest in sports but have also promoted the

citizens' social, cultural and ethical visions. We must try our best to capitalize on this opportunity as fully as we can.

1. How to Survive in a Competitive Society

Competition in present-day society is fierce and cruel. It exists in dif ferent lines of work. For example, different musicians compete for e ach seat in their orchestra, and different orchestras compete for th e privilege of making recordings with prestigious studios. Footballer s compete for positions within the same team, and they work toget her to compete against other teams for championships. In short, w hatever we do, we may feel the pressure of competition. However, instead of deploring competition, we should see the inter relationship between competition and cooperation. Cooperation and competition exist side by side and they are both u navoidable in human society. For example, while competing with ot her factories, producers and distributors of the same factory must c ooperate and make coordinated efforts to satisfy

the needs of customers. Business rivals have to cooperate with one another when their common market is threatened. Therefore, com petition alone will not bring us success in what we are doing.

In the face of competition, we should keep acquiring new skills and

updating our knowledge so as to enhance our competitive ability. A t the same time, we should learn the techniques of cooperating wit

h others in the most effective manner.

2. Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush H ours? I am amazed to read what a blogger says about offering bus s eats to the elderly. He claims that "it's the young who need it more " because they go to work early in the morning and feel exhausted after a day's work. The blogger also argues that it is unfair to offer s eats to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides, and suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment.

I could never bring myself to agree with the blogger. Taking good ca re of the elderly is a universally accepted standard of conduct. In m y opinion, offering seats to our elders is not just an indication of go od manners; it is a moral issue. I always consider it my moral obliga tion to help others. Yes, you may feel comfortable for a while by re maining in your seat, but you will lose your character and moral val ues in the long run. Respecting the elderly is also our social convent ion. It is precisely out of our love and respect for the elderly that su ch special benefits as free rides are offered to them. No one can de prive senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they l ike, and what's more, we should make sure they get special care wh en the bus is fully packed with passengers.

Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually sati sfying experience for everyone involved. It is through performing such small acts as offering seats to the needy that we le arn to contribute to the building of a harmonious society.

People like Nancy made the decision primarily for the improvement in the quality of their lives. But, to run a small business on a small scale is by no means an easy job. Without her steady income, Nancy had to cut back on her daily expenses. Sometimes she did not even have the money to pay the premiums for the various kinds of insurance she needed. Fortunately, through her own hard work, she has now got through the most difficult time. She is determined to continue pursuing her vision of a better life.

One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later. However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon). But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?

BOOK2课文译文 UNIT1 TextA 中国式的学习风格 1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店堂。 我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。 本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。本杰明一点也不在意。他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。 我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙箱槽口鼓捣。他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。他们会轻轻握牢本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。 我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。 两种不同的学习方式

我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是走近槽口的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢？他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。为什么不教他怎么做呢？他会高兴，他还能早些学会做这件事，进而去学做更复杂的事，如开门，或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以（也应该）示范给他看。 我俩颇为同情地听着这一番道理，解释道，首先，我们并不在意本杰明能不能把钥匙塞进钥匙的槽口。他玩得开心，而且在探索，这两点才是我们真正看重的。但关键在于，在这个过程中，我们试图让本杰明懂得，一个人是能够很好地自行解决问题的。这种自力更生的精神是美国中产阶级最重要的一条育儿观。如果我们向孩子演示该如何做某件事——把钥匙塞进钥匙槽口也好，画只鸡或是弥补某种错误行为也好——那他就不太可能自行想方设法去完成这件事。从更广泛的意义上说，他就不太可能——如美国人那样——将人生视为一系列 的情境，在这些情境中，一个人必须学会独立思考，学会独立解决问题，进而学会发现需要创造性地加以解决的新问题。 把着手教 回想起来，当时我就清楚地意识到，这件事正是体现了问题的关键之所在——而且不仅仅是一种意义上的关键之所在。这件事表明了我们两国在教育和艺术实践上的重要差异。 那些善意的中国旁观者前来帮助本杰明时，他们不是简单地像我可能会做的那样笨拙地或是犹犹豫豫地把他的手往下推。相反，他们极其熟练地、轻轻地把他引向所要到达的确切方向。 我逐渐认识到，这些中国人不是简单地以一种陈旧的方式塑造、引导本杰明的行为：他们是在恪守中国传统，把着手教，教得本杰明自己会愉快地要求再来一次。

十句作文范文背诵 原因篇 作文要求考生对某社会现象或社会问题进行解释。 Sample 1: Why College Students Take a Part-Time Job 1.最近几年越来越多的大学生加入打工的队伍 2. 为什么大学生要打工 3. 大学生打工 的意义 (1) According to a recent survey, about 25 percent of Chinese college students now hold a part-time or temporary job, compared with nearly none 10 years ago, and this figure increases to 72 percent during summer vacation. (2) College students are seen waiting on tables, clerking in stores, advertising in streets, teaching in families and doing whatever work they can find. (3) Why do they want odd jobs – jobs usually requiring little skill and knowledge? (4) The primary reason, I think, is money. (5) Feeling the pressure of soaring inflation as books, movies and bus fares have all gone up in price, there is scarcely a young boy or girl who does not want to earn a little money to help cover the increasingly higher college costs, and at best save enough to go travelling or buy things they have long desired. (6) In this way they hope to be economically independent and avoid the indignity of having to ask for money again and again. (7) Besides they want to gain some experience in the ways of society. (8) Students growing up from nursery school to college only know about books and have trouble dealing with realities. (9) Working on a part-time basis can provide them with a rare opportunity to know the outside world and prepare them for a future career. (10) The significance for college students of doing a part-time job means more than money and experience: It will broaden their outlook and exert a profound influence on their personality and life. 理由篇 叙述理由和分析原因是属于同一类型的英语议论文。所不同的是后者是解释某一社会现象或社会问题，而前者则解释写作者——我，为什么要干某事或不干某事。 Sample 1: The Most Unforgettable Person I Ever Knew 1. 我生活中最难以忘怀的人是…… 2. 为什么他（或她）一直在我心中 3. 结论 (1) In my life I have met many people who are really worth recalling. (2) But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever knew is my Chinese language teacher. (3) What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. (4) First of all, I was attracted by his lively wit. (5) I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs. (6) Second, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer – an awakening of a passion for learning. (7) He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of Chinese and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field. (8) Finally, I was deeply impressed by the respect he showed for us. (9) As he treated us like friends rather than students, we all liked to visit his home for social activities as well as for academic advice.

Globalization is sweeping aside national borders and changing relations between nations. What impact does this have on national identities and loyalties? Are they strengthened or weakened? The author investigates. 全球化正在扫除国界、改变国与国之间的关系。这对国家的认同和对国家的忠诚会带来什么影响呢？它们会得到加强还是削弱？作者对这些问题进行了探讨。 In Search of Davos ManPeter Gumbel 1. William Browder was born in Princeton, New Jersey, grew up in Chicago, and studied at Stanford University in California. But don't call him an American. For the past 16 of his 40 years he has lived outside the ., first in London and then, from 1996, in Moscow, where he runs his own investment firm. Browder now manages $ billion in assets. In 1998 he gave up his American passport to become a British citizen, since his life is now centered in Europe. "National identity makes no difference for me," he says. "I feel completely international. If you have four good friends and you like what you are doing, it doesn't matter where you are. That's globalization." 寻找达沃斯人 彼得·甘贝尔 威廉·布劳德出生于新泽西州的普林斯顿，在芝加哥长大，就读于加利福尼亚州的斯坦福大学。但别叫他美国人。他今年40岁，过去16年来一直生活在美国以外的地方，先是在伦敦，1996年后在莫斯科经营他自己的投资公司。布劳德如今掌管着价值16亿美元的资产。1998年，他放弃美国护照，成为英国公民，因为他现在的生活中心在欧洲。“国家认同对我来说不重要，”他说，“我觉得自己完全是个国际人。如果你有四个朋友，又喜欢你所做的事情，那么你在哪儿无关紧要。这就是全球化。” 2. Alex Mandl is also a fervent believer in globalization, but he views himself very differently. A former president of AT&T, Mandl, 61, was born in Austria and now runs a French technology company, which is doing more and more business in China. He reckons he spends about 90% of his time traveling on business. But despite all that globetrotting, Mandl who has been a . citizen for 45 years still identifies himself as an American. "I see myself as American without any hesitation. The fact that I spend a lot of time in other places doesn't change that," he says. 亚历克斯·曼德尔也是全球化的狂热信徒，但他对自己的看法与布劳德不同。61岁的曼德尔曾任美国电报电话公司总裁。他出生于奥地利，现在经营着一家法国技术公司，该公司在中国的业务与日俱增。他估计自己几乎90%的时间都花在出差上。然而，尽管曼德尔全球到处跑，已经做了45年美国公民的他还是认为自己是个美国人。“我毫不迟疑地把自己当作美国人。我在其他地方度过很多时间，但是这一事实不能改变我是美国人，”他说。 3. Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and

原文段落 Unit 1 I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don't entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.? The other requirement is energy -- a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.? Unit 2 Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom.? In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And it's about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories. Unit 3 It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm. any suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open.? It is not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company.? The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child's bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.?? Unit 4 He had impressive powers of concentration. Einstein's sister, Maja, recalled "...even when there was a lot of noise, he could lie down on the sofa, pick up a pen and paper, precariously balance an inkwell on the backrest and engross himself in a problem so much that the background noise stimulated rather than disturbed him." Einstein was clearly intelligent, but not outlandishly more so than his peers. "I have no special talents," he claimed, "I am only passionately curious." And again: "The contrast between the popular assessment of my powers ... and the reality is simply grotesque." Einstein credited his discoveries to imagination and pesky questioning more so than orthodox intelligence. Unit 5 The Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a "simple, old-fashioned principal" had ended with schools undergoing such swift changes that he had retired in self-doubt. "I heard more of what I had done wrong than what I did right," he said, adding that my letter had brought him welcome reassurance that his career had been appreciated.? A glance at Grandma's familiar handwriting brought back in a flash memories of standing alongside her white rocking chair, watching her "settin' down" some letter to relatives.
