While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating (2) the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority (3) is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand (4), place more emphasis on promoting (5) creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up (6) skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist (7) their children as they try to accomplish (8) a task, thinking it better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion (9), be mistaken for neglecting (10) ones parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile (11) to search for a superior (12) method that would combine the best of both worlds.If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was well-off/ affluent (1). Most of what he owns is rather dated (2) and he will readily admit to falling into (3) the bottom income bracket (4). Yet he would deny (5) that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less tangible (6) riches. Rather than devoting himself to the pursuit (7) of money before all else, he cherishes (8) the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel out of place(9) in todays materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the abrupt (10) departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his focus (11) on helping the poor through collecting donations (12) each Christmas. Our dad is typical (1) of the older generation. You can certainly say he gives our welfare (2) his constant (3) attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldnt try quite so hard. To be frank (4), he seems to have a talent (5) for embarrassing us by making dumb (6) remark. He should know better than that (7), but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes repeatedly (8). The result is that we live in constant dread (9) of his well-intentioned interference (10) in our affairs. Mom is no help, as you can bet (11) she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ours. Overall, though, hes a wonderful dad and I assure (12) you I wouldnt trade him for anyone in the world.With the internet (1) we can escape into another world at the click (2) of a button. For many this virtual (3) world is a dream come true. They find they can do away with the daily routines (4) and say inside for weeks and arrange (5) everything from home. Others, however, may find the virtual world a nightmare (6). It is especially annoying (7) when the Internet connection (8) is slow and everything crawls (9) at a snails place. The computer does not take in (10) your messages nor does it spit (11) out data (12). Still others, who get sucked into (13) the virtual world, may find communicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. At times (14) they feel this so strongly that they have to flee (15) from real human contact, hurrying to get back on line (16) to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.The following is how Michael stone looks back on that days competition.In my minds eye (1), I can see every detail of that pole vault. The bar was set at a new height. As I heard the crowd groan (2), I knew my competitor (3) had failed to clear it. I was time for my final jump. However, the intensity (4) of the moment filled my mind with anxiety (5). I was tense (6) and my palm began to sweat (7). I tried to shake off the tension (8), but was unsuccessful. At the critical moment, I remembered my mothers advice to breathe deeply and brought myself under control. Then I was off, up and away, soaring (9) like an eagle, just as I did in my recurring (10) dreams. The thump of my landing brought me back to earth (11). I had done it! This was no mere fantasy (12), but the real thing. All the sweat (13) and hard work had paid off. Friends were rushing to congratulate (14) me and I was surrounded by numerous (15) clicking cameras of the media (16).題型三The real challenge to us teachers is combining the best of both worlds into one. Creativity and basic skills need to be considered in terms of being means to an end (1), rather than simply as ends in themselves. Some Chinese students may not perform(2) well in hypothetical settings, but when it comes to facing(3) real life challenges and issues, they are more than competent(4) in resolving most of them, equipped(5) as they are with their strong skills. The U.S system may be designed(6) to aim more at producing top of the cream students, but that approach(7) may do damage to the big bulk of the rest(8) of the student body. The Chinese education system is definitely (9) not perfect, but it does produce a quality (10) workforce. And I truly believe that solid basic knowledge/skill focus is the single biggest force driving the rise of China as a country.postponing perform competent definitely solveddesigned fortunate approach facing practicallyquality equipped rest purpose endHow does spending connect to happiness?One explanation lies in “conspicuous consumption(炫耀式消費(fèi))”. The idea is that the rich dont accumulate wealth simply in order to consume (1) it. Rather they accumulate wealth in order to display it, and their happiness is fueled (2) by their neighbors envy. As a result, the country finds itself in the grips of a “l(fā)uxury fever” families with annual (3) incomes of $50,000 try to emulate(仿效) the consumption of those with $70,000, who in turn try to emulate those with $140,000, and so on.Its just plain (4) common sense. Its physically (5) impossible for a piece of paper like money to make you happy. Instead, what makes people happy is the feeling of security (6) or power money brings.A recent survey indicates (7) that those from the Forbes list of the 400 richest Americans and the Maasai of East Africa are almost equally (8) satisfied. The Maasai are a traditional (9) herding people who have no electricity or running water and live in huts made of mud.It follows (10) that economic development and personal income cannot account for the happiness that they are so often linked to.Consume security innocent equally destinationTraditional physically indicates significance plainMostly follows annual estimated fueledA new research study has found that, despite (1) what parents might believe, there is an enormous gap between what they think their children are doing online and what is really (2) happening.In one part of the study, over 500 children from a variety of ages and backgrounds were asked if they gave out personal information online.73% said that they did. The parents of the same (3) children believed that only 4% of their children did so.The children were also asked if they had made face-to-face contact (4) with strangers that they had met online.36% from the high school group admitted to meeting with a stranger they had met online. Nearly 40% of these children admitted (5) to speaking with strangers regularly. Fewer than 9% of the parents knew that their children had been meeting with strangers.Another part of the study found that 30% of children between the ages of 9 and 18 delete the search history from their browsers(瀏覽器) in an attempt (6) to protect their privacy from their parents. Common filtering software(過濾軟件) may not (7) be affective, since children will access what they are looking for else-where-at a friends house, an Internet caf, or school. One problem lies in the fact that parents dont know much about using popular online software and chat programs, and tend (8) to have no clue about what is really happening online. This lack of knowledge on the parents part may be no different (9) from the situation before the arrival of the Web. Parents dont know what their children are doing on the Net, in the same manner (10) that they dont know what goes on at class, parties, or clubs.Admitted same despite really attemptNot manner equal regardless certainlyTend contact different given obviouslyI live in a small coastal town of 398 people located halfway between San Francisco and Oregon border. The nearest traffic light is nine miles north in the town of Mendocino; its closest companion (1) to the south is over 90 miles away. The nearest four-lane highway is 58 miles east. Federal Express(聯(lián)邦快遞) doesnt deliver (2) here on Saturdays.But there is Internet access (3) here. It enables me to work at home, writing computer books and articles for computer magazines. It enables local students and historians to conduct research. It enables (4) local business inns, music stores, driving schools to reach new customers (5). It enables local people to enjoy the benefits of email and the delights (6) of websites and chat rooms.In fact, because small towns have few people, few stores, and few libraries and schools, you could argue that the Internet provides (7) more benefits to small towns than it does to big cities. But Internet service providers are not interested in small (8) markets. What they are interested in is making money. As a result, people in many small towns and remote (9) areas are unable to keep up with the development of information (10) technology.Information deliver place access carries Enables customers provides urban delightsSmall remote companion reach softwareThe Brooklyn Bridge that spans the river between Manhattan and Brooklyn is simply an engineering miracle. In 1883, a creative engineer (1), John Roebling, was inspired by an idea for this spectacular bridge project. However, bridge building experts told him to forget (2) it. It just was not possible. Roebling, nevertheless, convinced (3) his son. Washington, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge could be built. The two of them conceived the concept of how it could be accomplished and how (4) to overcome the obstacles. Somehow they convinced bankers to finance the project. They hired their crew and began to build (5) their dream bridge.The project was only a few months under way when a tragic onsite accident (6) killed John Roebling and severely injured his son. Washington was
