2、riend. We talked about everything. And we loved singing songs together. Once, however, there was a bitter quarrel between us and we stopped talking to each other. It was obvious that both of us wanted to keep the friendship, but neither had the courage to break the ice. It went on like this for mont

3、hs. Then, one day we were asked to write about friendship. I wrote in my composition what friendship meant to me and the misunderstanding that had separated us. It was given the top mark, and I was asked to read it in class. When I ended my presentation with the words from our favourite song, my fri

The following hints might serve as a guide: a. The problems existing in the relationships betwe

6、en people in our society. b. The negative results such problems may bring about to our society. c. What you can do to establish a harmonious society as a student.We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold security bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go out of our way to help

7、them; we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of insecurity fill the environment we live in. All this greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated and care about ourselves only. If things go on like this, “trust”, “teamwork”, and “harmo

8、ny” will eventually become terms unheard of. In my opinion, trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human relationships. We may not be in a position to change others, but we can change the way others see us by winning their trust

9、 in us. Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society. (151 words)我們生活在一個(gè)不信任的世界里。我們生活在冷酷的安全酒吧后面，我們不與陌生人交談，更不用說走出去幫助他們；我們生活在對(duì)假冒產(chǎn)品的恐懼中。簡(jiǎn)而言之，恐懼和不安全感充斥著我們生活的環(huán)境。所有這些都嚴(yán)重危害了我們的社會(huì)。在這樣一個(gè)環(huán)境中長(zhǎng)大，我們往往會(huì)感到孤立，只關(guān)心自己。如果事情繼續(xù)下去，“信任”、“團(tuán)隊(duì)合作”和“和諧”最終將成為前所未聞的術(shù)語。在我看來，信任別人和值得信賴是我們應(yīng)該遵循的兩個(gè)基本原則，

10、如果我們想改善人際關(guān)系。我們可能無法改變他人，但我們可以通過贏得別人對(duì)我們的信任來改變別人看待我們的方式。相互理解和愛是支撐和諧社會(huì)的支柱。（151字）Unit3Write a narrative essay (of about 150 words) about your pursuit of a dream or someones experiences in making his / her dream come true.Li Hui, my friend in high school, was born into a workers family. She began to dream

11、 of becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood. To her disappointment, her parents strongly opposed her career choice, because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family, and they were worried about the job opportunities for a cartoon artist. However, Li Hui would not change h

12、er mind. She worked hard to perfect her skills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream. Just before she finished high school, the chance came: a famous art school was holding a cartoon drawing competition. The first three winners would be given a scholarship to study cartoon drawing

13、at the school. Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through her fingers. She readily participated and won the second place. She is now studying there and I feel certain that her dream will come true. (156 words)Li Hui，我高中時(shí)的朋友，出生在一個(gè)工人家庭。她從小就夢(mèng)想成為一名卡通藝術(shù)家。令她失望的是，她的父母強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)她的職業(yè)選擇，因?yàn)樗慕逃杀緦?duì)貧困家庭來說太

14、高了，他們擔(dān)心卡通藝術(shù)家的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。然而，Li Hui不會(huì)改變主意。她努力提高自己的技能，不斷地尋找實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想的方法。就在她高中畢業(yè)之前，有一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)來了：一所著名的藝術(shù)學(xué)校舉辦了一個(gè)卡通繪畫比賽。前三名獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)邔@得獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，在學(xué)校里學(xué)習(xí)卡通畫。Li Hui告訴自己不要讓機(jī)會(huì)從她手中溜走。她很容易參加，贏得了第二名。她現(xiàn)在正在那里學(xué)習(xí)，我確信她的夢(mèng)想會(huì)成真。（156字） People may have different opinions about the key factors for success. Write a short essay (of about 150 words) and s

15、hare your opinions with your classmates.In my opinion, before a person becomes successful, he or she should fully understand the basic elements of success: competence, determination and optimism. For a person to succeed, he or she has to face great competition and excel in his or her chosen career.

16、The person needs to demonstrate and prove his or her competence in dealing with problems. Without competence, the person can neither stand out among the crowd nor attract the attention of those who hold the keys to the doors of opportunity and advancement. Yet ability alone cannot guarantee success.

17、 Often enough, things do not go the way we have planned and failure is unavoidable no matter how intelligent or capable we may be. In such cases one needs to remain firm and optimistic, always believing that hard work will eventually pay off. If the person gives up halfway, success will never knock

18、at the door. (149 words)在我看來，在一個(gè)人成功之前，他或她應(yīng)該充分理解成功的基本要素：能力、決心和樂觀。一個(gè)人要成功，他或她必須面對(duì)巨大的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，并在他或她所選擇的事業(yè)中勝出。這個(gè)人需要展示和證明他或她在處理問題上的能力。沒有能力，人就不能在人群中脫穎而出，也不能吸引那些抓住機(jī)會(huì)和進(jìn)步大門的人的注意力。然而，只有能力才能保證成功。通常情況下，事情并沒有按照我們的計(jì)劃進(jìn)行，失敗是不可避免的，不管我們有多聰明或有能力。在這種情況下，你需要保持堅(jiān)定和樂觀，總是相信努力工作最終會(huì)有回報(bào)。如果人半途而廢，成功永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)敲門。（149字）Unit4Having read the two

19、 passages in this unit, you may have come to a better understanding of life and the times when pessimistic and optimistic thoughts take turns to affect your behaviour. Write a letter of encouragement (of about 150 words) to one of your high school friends who failed in the college entrance examinati

20、on. Tell him or her about your new understanding of the need to remain optimistic. EG:Dear Weihua, I know you are still feeling upset about your results in the college entrance examination. Ive just read an article about how pessimistic and optimistic thoughts can affect our behaviour and Im now sen

21、ding you a copy, hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows. Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell on the past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what is more important for now and the future. Life is

22、full of trials and anyone may suffer setbacks. We must take an optimistic attitude towards the things we have to deal with. Optimism and positive thinking are powerful forces. Good things do come true if we picture them often. Please do have confidence in your potential. Just work hard and prepare f

23、or another chance. You will make it. Yours, Janet (152 words)The writers of the two texts in this unit convey to us the message that we need to look at the positive side of anything that comes to us and that we need to take an optimistic and positive attitude toward life. Write an essay (of about 15

24、0 words). The following hints may be of some help: a. What is meant by “thinking positively”? b. What is the connection between success and optimism? c. How can we keep an optimistic and positive attitude?EG:Thinking positively means allowing your mind to be filled with optimistic feelings, and alwa

25、ys hoping for the best though still aware of the difficulties that might be involved. The human mind is powerful; thoughts of optimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Though it mightseem impossible to some, positive thinking and success actually have a cause-and-result relationship.

26、 The reason is that a person with positive thinking will always broadcast goodwill and confidence and that kind of radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody. Gradually, peoples attitude will shift towards more trust and respect. This not only opens up more opportunities for the individual, bu

27、t it also feeds back emotionally, and the cycle continues. Though the shaping of a positive or negative personality often happens subconsciously, it is possible to control such processes consciously. A person can try visualizing favourable situations, whether it is remembering a contest won as a chi

28、ld or imagining getting that job offer so long sought after. Over time circumstances will change accordingly. （169 words）Unit5Many stories have demonstrated to us that character is something that gives life meaning and depth, and we can enjoy true happiness only by making character the guideline of

29、our lives. Have you had any experience or read any story that conveys the message? Write an essay (of about 150 words) based on your understanding of the importance of character.EG:A widespread belief in modern society is that with talent, personal effort and luck alone a person can succeed, regardl

30、ess of character. However, history has proven over and over again that the morally defective cannot be truly successful, even if they at times enjoy some temporary glory. A typical example is found in the story of four brilliant Cambridge students. They were all talented and eventually worked their

31、way up to very important positions in the British government, with one even ending up working in Buckingham Palace. During and after World War II, however, they betrayed their country by giving away national secrets to the Soviet Union, which damaged the interests of Britain in many ways. Eventually

32、 what they had done was uncovered. Three of them fled the country and ended up in exile; the fourth lost his knighthood in disgrace. “Intelligent” and “successful” as they once were, they are now remembered as traitors to their country. (157 words)Based on what you have learned from both Texts A and

33、 B, write an essay (of about 150 words) about the moral condition of our society. Your essay may cover the following points:a. Some cases in which mutual trust in our society is lacking. b. Consequences of the absence of mutual trust. c. What we can do to improve the situation or to enhance mutual t

34、rust.EG:As modern society advances, we are growing more suspicious of each other. This is clearly reflected in our reaction to advertisements. Instead of seeing advertisements as a source of reliable information, we tend to doubt the truth they claim and always assume that the producers are trying t

35、o trick customers into buying their products. One of the most serious consequences of such absence of mutual trust is the constant doubt and anxiety within our own minds. If we see everyone else as a potential enemy, we can no longer make new friends; if we regard all information passed on to us as

36、lies, how can we make use of such sources effectively? Mutual trust is the glue that holds human society together. As students, we should try to foster mutual trust and help build up a moral society by our own deeds. If we are honest to others and foster mutual trust, we shall soon see the differenc

37、e. (158 words)Unit6Based on Text A and what youve discussed in “Voicing Your Views”, write a short essay (of about 150 words) entitled “A Creative Person” in accordance with the following outline: a. A creative person I knowb. The traits that can be found in him / her EG:A Creative Person My physics

38、 professor is a very creative person. His research project for his doctoral dissertation dealt with a very complicated physics problem at a time when many others thought it was impossible to solve it. But he creatively introduced a new concept and finally resolved the theoretical and experimental co

39、ntradiction. He possesses many unique traits. He is very energetic and hard-working. He chairs the Physics Department and teaches many hours a week. Meanwhile, he is in charge of the universitys technology research. Obviously he is a efficient worker. My professor can be eccentric, once he shocked t

40、he whole class by saying “Good physics, everyone” instead of “Good morning, everyone”. But above all, my professor has a sincere interest and a strong passion in his research field. No wonder he is highly respected by both his colleagues and his students. (140 words)Some sayings in our life sound so

41、 familiar and natural to us that we take them for granted without a second thought. Do you realize that when you take them as “absolute truths”, you are locking your mind and creativity? Write a brief comment on such a saying in about 150 words.EG:Popular Sayings May Become “Mental Locks” To cultiva

42、te a creative mind, one needs to chip away at ones “mental locks”. Some of the “mental locks” are shaped by popular sayings, which sound so familiar to us that we tend to take them for granted. Instructive as they may be, these common statements may restrict our freedom to think. “Look before you le

43、ap!” We make this remark to caution someone to think carefully before making a decision or taking an action. It may seem sound advice, but it may also put him or her in a passive position. He or she may just keep “l(fā)ooking” round and without making a “l(fā)eap”. Similarly, we may say to the same person,

44、“Dont let the chance slip through your fingers!” Then, the person may be motivated to act promptly, regardless of the consequences. In either case, the personal may fall victim to popular sayings. So, if we want to come up with a new idea, we must break up the “mental locks” that close our minds. (1

45、66 words)Unit7Write a short passage of (about 150 words) entitled My View of a Team Player. The questions listed below may serve as an outline. 1) What does a team player mean? 2) Why do we need team players? 3) How do we make ourselves team players?EG:A team player is someone who can work well with

46、 other people in a team. But it is not enough just to get along with others. A true team player must be more positive and constructive than just following the herd; he or she must also be able to play an active part in decision-making. Our society demands team players because by gathering all our va

47、rious strengths together, we can accomplish more in a shorter time. It is because of teamwork that most businesses are able to function properly. To become team players we must learn to compromise. When our views conflict with the general view of the team we must restrain our egos and listen to what

48、 others say. We should learn how to deal with criticism in a mature way; be honest and be aware of others feelings. (144 words)Unit8Write a short essay (of about 150 words) entitled When Facing Adversity. The following outline may be of some help. a. The adversity we may encounter in lifeb. General

49、reactions of people to adversity c. Your own view on dealing with adversity EG:Throughout our lifetime we may encounter many adversities: unable to pay for the education, obstacles in studies and even physical disabilities. Whether we are rich or poor, intelligent or slow, adversity seems the consta

50、nt companion of many of us. In the face of adversity there are typically two reactions: one is to feel frightened and run away; the other, to face it with courage. But what happens next makes a big difference between the brave and the cowardly. Some people turn away from adversity without even an attempt to make things better; while others, though frig
