1、童年的快乐和痛苦 The pleasures and Pains of Childhood
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child 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 playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvellous adventure.
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 therefore not perfectly happy.
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? 3、超市 Supermarkets
People all over the world shop in
supermarkets. When you enter supermarkets, you will see shelves loaded with goods. You will hear soft, light music as you walk along the aisles.Food in supermarkets seem to be very attractive.
A large supermarket is a big business. In addition to food items, many other goods such as house wares, school supplies, toys, clothing, magazines and even books are sold in supermarkets. It is a place where
housewives frequent.It tries to meet her needs so that when she leaves, she’ll shop nowhere else.
Supermarkets are becoming more and more popular. There is no doubt about it-more and more housewives around the world will soon be standing in the check-in line.
4 、大学生应当做业余兼职吗？Should College Students Do Part-time Jobs? 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 not 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 lucky enough to take a good job, it will benefit them
enormously. Otherwise, it may waste their time and their energy.

6、我对电子邮件的看法 My View on E-mail
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. Millions 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.
With 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.
7 、住在城市-疯狂的念头 Living in a City-a Crazy Idea
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 conditions 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 blot 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.
8、跳槽 Career Hopping
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 and twenty-five change their lines of work. About half that number do so between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four. Some
married women combine child-rearing
as if there were no one else present. It is more I was pleased to see your ad in the responsibilities with new career lines.
Motives for changing careers vary widely, bot 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.
9 、年轻人与老年人The Young and the Old
When the young man starts to earn his own living,he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society. Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come
through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight. 10 、电力与我们的生活Electricity and Our Life
Since its invention, electricity has found wide applications in industry, agriculture and scientific research. It is so essential to our daily life that, without electricity, we could not enjoy modern comforts because home appliances would not function. Without electricity, we could not cook food, wash clothes and watch TV.
Roughly, there are three ways to save electricity. First, we should produce
electricity-saving home appliances. Second, remember to turn off the light when you leave a room. Lastly, we should change our way of life. Avoid as much as possible the ―artificial life‖ powered by electricity.
11、关掉你的手机 Turn off Your Mobile Phone
With the development of information technology and reduced price of
communication products, the mobile phone has become a necessity for people. It is
obvious that it shortens the distance between people and makes our life more convenient. Thanks to it, it’s easy for us to contact others anytime and anywhere.
However, have you noticed that the mobile phone also brings embarrassment to people? It’s not rare to see people pressing the mobile phone to his ear and shouting loudly in public
than likely that you have noticed that the mobile phones ring continuously on a formal occasion. People around them have to listen to the noise and they can’t concentrate on what they’re doing.
12、健康的生活方式 A Healthy Lifestyle Dear James,
I am glad to get your letter. Do you still feel stressful? As far as I know, a lot of people live in a way that is wearing themselves out. In fact, life doesn’t have to be like that. It is wise to bear an important principle in your mind-managing time. To make it simple, decide what you want in your life, and put that first. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life, just do it! Take a nap, or a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have –to-dos.
Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. Anyhow, we should do something for ourselves. I hope you can manage your life! Stay cool! Yours faithfully, Linda
13 、教育-为走上社会作准备Education-preparation for Society
Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life.
Because of the development in modern education, many people avail of the
opportunities to receive college education. But there are not enough positions for people with university degrees. Besides, some
graduates refuse to do what they thing ―low‖ jobs-work with hands is thought to be indecent.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us should do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, that we must realize that all jobs are necessary to society.
14 、打电话还是写信？Making a Phone Call or Writing a letter
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. 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.
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.

16 、投诉信A letter of complaint Dear Sir:
I am writing to complain about one of your bus drivers, who was so rude to the passengers.
Yesterday, I was taking the bus No. 133 to school. It was about 9:30 in the morning. It was not the rush-hour and there were not many passengers on the bus. But the driver drove so fast and he didn’t slow down even when the bus turned round street corners. One of the passengers asked him to drive slowly but he did not listen. When the bus reached the next stop, a man stood up and walked toward the door. The driver stopped the bus so suddenly that the man could not keep his balance and fell on the floor. The driver didn’t make an apology and asked him to get off the bus right away.
I think that public bus system should serve the public whole-heartedly. The safety of passengers should be the major concern. It is my sincere hope that proper measures ought to be taken to prevent such incidents from happening again.
Yours sincerely
Liu Yuan
17 、我喜欢的旅行方式My favorite Mode of Travel
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 package tours for convenience’s sake, I prefer to travel by myself.
I like traveling on my own not only because it costs less but because it gives me freedom. Traveling on my own, I’m my own boss and can 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.
