in the busy city of new york, such an astonishing thing that ever happened.

home for the weekend. in this case, many of them slowed down their paces and pu t some money into the hat of the young man.
the next day, the young artist came to the gate of the subway station, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. different than the day before, he took ou t a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground and put some stones on it. t hen he adjusted the violin and began playing. it seemed more pleasant to listen to.
B The Benefits of volunteering
Volunteering, in many people’s opinion, is almost a waste of time. Volunteers seem to gain little, if not nothing from their work. But actually it is not the case at all. Volunteers always find their work meaningful and worthwhile.
The most apprent benefit of volunteering is that volunteering is that volunteers can get valuable chances to get close to real society. As most vulunteers are young and inexperienced college students, it will help them a lot to witness social reality and take part in social activities. Another major benefit volunteers can gain is the cultivation of a sense of resposibility. By helping the weak members of our society, volunteers always feel on their shoulders the duty of citizenship which is necessary in maintaining good relationship in a family, a community and a whole society. A third benefit that is often overlooked by people is the happiness at the bottom of the heart. This is gained by simply helping others.
Being a volunteer may not bring you any money, but surely one can gain a lot from their volunteering work which benefits their later life and work.

英语复习资料 口语： 第一段 Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference. If we try, most of us can do our part to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the atmosphere. Many greenhouse gases come from things we do every day. As we have learned, these greenhouse gases trap energy in the atmosphere and make the Earth warmer.（P105） 第二段 Santa Claus is a very important part of the Christmas festivities and small children believe he brings their presents down the chimney on Christmas Eve. Nobody ever gets to see him in their homes, though, because he only comes when everybody is sound asleep. Though most people know Santa is make-believe, they still love him, and his“Ho, ho, ho!”（P155） 第三段 For years I had good intentions to change, but I didn’t follow through. I could see my future: increased medical expenses, exhausted senses, premature death. Once I understand that it is in my own self-interest to take care of it, I’m struggling to develop a positive relationship with my body.

10级研究生英语补充材料 （该材料整理的有些唐突，有些地方翻译的可能不是太准确，请大家见谅） 补充材料1 China’s long history, vast territory and extensive contact with other nations and cultures have given birth to the distinctive Chinese culinary art. With several thousand years of creative and accumulative efforts, the Chinese cuisine has become increasingly popular among more and more overseas gourmets, virtually functioning as an envoy of friendship in China’s cultural exchanges with foreign countries. Modern China enjoys a worldwide reputation as the “kingdom of cuisine”. The exquisite Chinese culinary art, regarded indisputably as one of the world’s finest culinary traditions, has prevailed all over the world. The three essential factors, or key elements, by which Chinese cooking is judged are known as “color, aroma and taste”. The “color” of Chinese food, the first of these elements which is so evident in a Chinese banquet, includes the layout and design of dishes, best exemplified in particular by the large elaborately-prepared cold dish served at the beginning of the dinner. Visitors to China are often surprised when a typical dinner for a table of eight people consists of four courses of cold dishes , four courses of hot dishes, coupled with soup and steamed rice; they consider this a lavish spread. Often beer, yellow rice wine and strong white liquor [?lik? ]are served at a Chinese banquet. People at a table will usually “Gan Bei”when toasting each other. “Gan Bei” means to raise up one’s wine glass or liquor cup and drink it all the way down so that the glass or cup is “dried up the last drop”. People dry up their glasses to communicate the message to others that they are sincere and joyful. It is quite acceptable for a foreign guest to take a sip instead of emptying the glass when toasting with his or her Chinese host. However, an average Chinese meal at home is quite different in composition from a Chinese banquet. At an everyday home meal, an adult may consume two small bowls of steamed rice, or a large bowl of noodles or several pieces of steamed bread, accompanied by several meat or vegetable dishes, but not the other way round.
