如何看待在校大学生打工（１）
【题目】
In some countries, teenagers have jobs while they are still students.Do you think this is a good idea? Support your opinion by using specific reasons and details.【范文】
In many countries it is common for teenagers to take part-time jobs while they are still in high school, while in other societies this is virtually unheard of.In the latter situation, students are expected to spend all of their time on their studies and consider schoolwork their \"job\".In my opinion, students benefit more from a more balanced lifestyle, which may include working at a part-time job.Therefore, I believe that it is a good idea for students to work while studying.
While it is true that a student\'s most important goal must be to learn and to do well at his studies, it does not need to be the only goal.In fact, a life which consists of only study is not balanced and may cause the student to mi out on other valuable learning experiences.In addition to bringing more balance to a student\'s life, part-time work can broaden his range of experience.He will have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and will be faced with a wider variety of problems to solve.Furthermore, work helps a student to develop greater independence, and earning his own pocket money can teach him how to handle his finances.Finally, a part-time job can help a student to develop a greater sense of responsibility, both for his own work and for that of the team he works with.
For all of these reasons, I firmly believe that most students would benefit from taking a part-time job while they are in high school.Of course, they must be careful not to let it take up too much of their time because study is still their primary responsibility.In sum, living a balanced life is the best way to be succeful.
［参考译文］青少年与打工
在许多国家，青少年普遍会在高中时期打工。然而在有些国家，这几乎是前所未闻的。如果是后者的情况，那是因为一般认为学生应把所有的时间花在学业上，把学业当作是自己的\"工作\"。我认为，生活方式越均衡，对学生就越好，而均衡的生活则须包含打工。所以我认为，在就学期间打工是个不错的想法。
虽然学生最重要的目标的确必须是学习，而且功课要好，但这不必是学生惟一的目标。事实上，只重视学业的生活并不均衡，这可能会使学生错过其他珍贵的学习经验。打工除了使生活更均衡外，还可拓展学生的经验。学生可以有机会见识各行各业的人，而且会面临更多各种不同的问题需要解决。此外，工作帮助学生更加独立，而且自己赚零用钱还可以教导他如何处理自己的财务。最后，打工可以帮助学生培养对自己的工作和团队工作更大的责任感。
基于这些理由，我坚决相信，大多数学生在高中时期打工都能获益。当然，他们也必须小心，不要让打工占据太多时间，因为学业仍然是青少年首要的责任。总之，过均衡的生活才是最佳的成功之道。
讨论汽车快速发展利与弊（２）
以下文章主要讨论小汽车的利与弊（Advantages and disadvantages of private cars）。
With the fantastic spur both in industry and in economy in China, the number of people who own private cars is on the rise.Some people have bought cars of their own, and others are planning to buy cars.But there have been two quite different views on this phenomenon.
Some claim that there are many advantages brought about by cars.First, the automobile industry provides jobs for countle workers and strong support for other industries.Second, if conditions permit, owning a car can make us work more efficiently.Finally, life will become more convenient.A car allows one to move freely and with a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the cold or under the burning sun.
However, others strongly object to the increase in developing private cars.They hold that automobiles will give rise to a series of problems.In the first place, as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere and causing actual harm to the health of people.Next, private cars contr123te to traffic congestion so greatly that the advantages gained in comfort and freedom are often cancelled out by the frustration caused by traffic jams.The last problem is the increasing number of car accidents that have killed and will kill a lot of people in a friction of a second.
In my opinion, although automobiles have been playing a vital part in the daily activities of our society, they also bring us numerous troubles such as more serious environmental pollution, more traffic accidents and more 123rgy consumption.They drink up huge amounts of fuel and throw out huge amounts of pollutants.Traffic accidents kill thousands and thousands of people each year and cripple more.Jams waste our precious time.Therefore I am against developing private cars.每天养成存钱习惯的好处(3)
【题目】
Is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or is it better to save your money for some time in the future? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
【范文】The Advantages of Saving Money
Everyone must work to live, but many people are fortunate enough to make more money than they immediately need.What should they do with this extra income? While it is tempting for people to spend it all on things they desire, I believe it is better to save at least a portion of the extra income for the future.
By saving money, people give themselves more security.They cannot predict the future; perhaps one day they will be joble.At a time like this their savings can spare them a great deal of suffering and help to see them through the hard time.In addition, saving money allows people to build up a larger sum.They can then buy something more worthwhile than the small things they can but if they spend the money right away.For example, they may be able to buy a house with their savings.Finally, the practice of saving helps people develop the habit of setting goals and planning for their future.In this way they are bound to lead more meaningful and succeful lives.
Most people would like to enjoy their money immediately.Nobody likes to wait for the things that he wants.However, if we learn to save our money, we can gain more advantages in the future.We will lead more secure and, thus, happier lives.We will also be able to buy the things we truly want but cannot afford right now.
【参考译文】：存钱的好处
每个人都必须工作以求生存，但是有许多人很幸运，能够赚得比他们立即需要的还要多的钱。他们应该如何处理这些额外的收入呢?尽管把钱全花在自己想买的东西上是很诱人的，但我认为最好至少把一部分的额外收入存起来，以备将来之需。
通过存钱，人们能获得更多的安全感。未来是无法预测的，或许有一天我们会失业。碰到像这样的情况，存款可以让我们免去许多痛苦，帮助我们渡过难关。此外，存钱可以使人积累较多的钱，可以用于买更有价值的东西，比马上把钱花掉所能买到的东西更有用。例如，我们可以用存款买房子。最后，存钱能帮助我们培养设定目标及为未来作计划的习惯。如此一来，我们一定会过着更有意义并且更成功的生活。
大部分的人会想要马上享用手边的钱。没有人想等到以后再买想要的东西。然而，如果我们学会存钱，未来可以获得更多的好处。我们将过着更有安全感而且更快乐的生活。我们也能购买我们真正想要但现在无法负担的东西。
书本知识与实践经验哪个重要(4)
【题目】
It has been said, \"Not everything that is learned is contained in books.\" Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books.In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
【范文】 Book Knowledge vs.Experience
Knowledge can be acquired from many sources.These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages.The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life.We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books.We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways.Furthermore, we can learn from the past by reading books.In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge.It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is succeful or not.In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn.Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is neceary to act.Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation.Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful.However, unle it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical and, in the end, is usele.That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books.
【参考译文】 书本知识与实际经验
获得知识的来源有很多，其中包括书本、老师，以及实际经验，而每一种都有其优点。
从书本上及正规教育中所获得的知识使我们知道在日常生活中没有机会亲身去体验的事。通过读书，我们可以研究世界各地的资料，还可以向不曾谋面的人学习。我们也可以培养分析的技巧，并学习如何以不同的方式去观察并理解周围的世界。此外，我们可以通过读书，从历史中获取教训。如此一来，就不会再重复别人的错误，并且能够以他人的成就作为我们行动的基础。
另一方面，实际经验能够给我们更多有用的知识。大家都说从做中学的效果最好，我也认为的确如此，无论一个人成功与否。事实上，我认为犯错是最好的学习方式。此外，如果想要有新的进展，就必须要付诸行动。想要创新，只靠阅读是不够的，必须要去实践。最后，我们可以将通过读书所获得的技巧和见解应用于实际经验中，使得原本有意义的经验变得更有意义。不过，除非我们能将书本知识运用于实际经验中，否则书本知识终究仍只是理论，毫无用处。那就是为什么我会认为从实际经验中获得的知识比从书本中所得到的知识更为重要。
居民住房附近有工厂的利弊(5)
【题目】
A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community.Discu the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community.Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.【范文】 A Factory near the Neighborhood
Having a factory near where one lives brings with it both advantages and disadvantages.An obvious advantage is an increase in the number of available jobs, and many people in the community might find employment in the new factory.The factory would bring money into the community in other ways as well.It would have to pay some taxes to the local government, and workers might go shopping or eat at a restaurant in the area before or after their shifts.
However, the factory would bring some disadvantages, too.Depending on what kind of factory it is, it might pollute the environment and bring down property values.It would be sure to increase traffic in the area, causing congestion and making it unsafe for children to play outside.Finally, the neighborhood would become a noisy, busy place.For all of these reasons, I would be opposed to the construction of a new factory near my community.While the employment opportunities would help the community, I believe it would be better for residents to commute to work and preserve the peace of our neighborhood.
【译文】 住家附近的工厂
住家附近有工厂既有优势也有弊端。一项明显的优势是工作机会会增加。社区内的许多居民可能会在新工厂找到工作。工厂也会以其他方式为社区带来收入。它必须上缴给当地政府部分税金，工人也可能会在轮班工作的前后在当地购买东西或在餐厅用餐。
然而，工厂也会带来某些弊端，这取决于工厂的性质。它可能会污染环境，造成房地产价格下跌。工厂一定会使当地的交通流量增加，导致交通阻塞，使得小孩在外面玩耍变得不安全。最后，社区附近地区会变得既热闹又嘈杂。基于这些理由，我反对在社区附近兴建新的工厂。虽然就业机会能造福社区，但我认为还是居民乘车上下班，保持社区附近环境的安宁比较好。
运气在事业成功中的作用(6)
【题目】
\"When people succeed, it is because of hard work.Luck has nothing to do with succe.\" Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.
【范文】 The Role of Luck in Succe
It has been said that when people succeed, it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with succe.Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to succe for most people, I must disagree with this statement.It cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in succe.For example, many important discoveries have been made by accident.There have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device.Furthermore, there is something to be said for simply being in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity.And of course, there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected succe.
While the influence of luck cannot be ignored, this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard work.If one is willing to work hard, I believe that succe will eventually be achieved, with or without the added benefit of luck.Moreover, hard work is often an eential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky encounter.If the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills, he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it comes along.Therefore, my suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you succe.Instead, work hard and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity.
参考译文：运气在成功里所扮演的角色
有人说一个人会成功是因为努力，而运气和成功则是一点关系也没有。虽然我相信努力很重要，而且对大部分的人来说，努力是成功最可靠的方法，可是我不得不反对这种说法。能否成功，运气扮演着一个很重要的角色，这是不可否认的事实。例如，很多重要的发现都是在偶然情况下发生的。有很多实例表明，有重大突破的研究人员和发明家，原本是要试图解决其他问题或是发明别的仪器。而且，仅仅是天时地利这方面也有一些关系--也许是偶然碰到能提供好的工作和珍贵机会的人。当然也有极少数赌徒和彩票得主得到突如其来、意想不到的成功。
尽管运气的影响力不容忽视，但也不表示人就应该完全靠运气，而忽视努力的价值。如果一个人愿意努力，不论有没有运气额外的帮助，我相信终究还是会成功。此外，因为努力能让人充分利用幸运的机会，所以努力通常也是运气的必要因素。如果科学家没有努力培养自己的知识和技巧，那么当某个幸运的突破出现时，他可能也看不出来。因此，我建议大家不要指望运气能带来成功。相反地，应该努力，并随时注意不要错过任何好机会。人们为什么要参观博物馆(7)
【题目】
Many people visit museums when they travel to new places.Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
【范文】 Why People Visit Museums?
Museums are great repositories of mankind’s historical artifacts and achievements in art.From them we can learn a great deal about the people of the past and their link to the people of the present.We can also learn about cultures other than our own.I believe this last advantage is the main reason many people visit museums when they travel.
When someone chooses to visit a new place, he often does so because he is interested in seeing a different environment and a different way of life.To gain a better understanding of this new culture, many travelers will go to a history or cultural museum.Even those who never visit museums at home may be inspired by the new sights around them and want to find out more.Other people choose to visit museums abroad in groups to see things that they cannot see at home.They may have read of famous works of art and look forward to the chance to see them with their own eyes.Still others may have a specific interest, such as butterflies or eighteenth century furniture.It is not poible for every community to support a museum devoted to every field of study, but travelers can take advantage of the opportunity to pursue their interests.
No matter why one travels, the journey often offers the opportunity to visit a new museum.It is an activity that will provide the traveler with a better understanding of the world, no matter what his specific interest is.That is why I think most people choose to visit museums when they travel to a new place.
------------------
参考译文：人们为什么要参观博物馆？
博物馆是人类历史文物及艺术成就的伟大宝库。我们可以从中了解到很多与过去的人们有关的事以及他们与现代人之间的关联。我们也可以从中了解其他不同的文化。我认为最后这项优点是许多人旅行时会去参观博物馆的主要原因。
人们选择游览一个新的地方是因为他们对不同的环境以及不同的生活方式感兴趣。为了更加了解这个新的文化，许多游客会去参观历史或文化博物馆。即使是在国内从不去参观博物馆的人，也可能会受到周围景物的启发而想要发掘更多东西。有些人在国外选择参观博物馆是为了要看国内所看不到的东西。他们可能已经阅读过一些著名艺术作品的资料而期待这个可以亲眼目睹的机会。还有些人可能对某些事物有特定的兴趣，如蝴蝶或18世纪的家具。可是并非每个地区都能资助与每一种学术领域有关的博物馆，所以游客就可以利用这个机会去追求自己的兴趣。
无论一个人为了什么而去旅行，旅行常能提供参观新博物馆的机会。这项活动能让旅行者更加了解世界，不管他的特殊兴趣是什么。这就是我认为为什么大部分人到新的地方旅行都会选择参观博物馆的原因。
电影电视给观众带来的影响(８)
【题目】
How do movies or television influence people’s behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
【范文】 The Influence of Television and Movies
There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave.Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD.Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored.
One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products.Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements.Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch.Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world poe great wealth and good looks.It may make them become diatisfied with their own lives.Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies.
With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects.Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experience.
控制影视暴力场景的意义(９)
［题目］
The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this iue?
［参考范文］
It is widely acknowledged that the amount of violence in films and on TV is one of the direct causes that lead to our high crime rate in our society.The voice of demanding the government to control violent scenes in media has been much louder than before.Personally, I totally agree with this voice, for it is the most effective way to reduce violent crimes in the real world.
First and foremost, violence on TV or in films is often portrayed as extreme as poible in order to attract audiences.This will definitely set a bad example for those immature audiences, who, lacking correct parental guidance, are most likely to copy the violent behaviours and commit real violent crimes.
Next, media, such as TV or film, is considered as the correct information source regulated by the government.It should be reporting and reflecting true phenomena in the society.Violence, as one of the facts in the real world, certainly has to be reported.However, exceive violence is offering misleading information to the public, which will exert detrimental influence to the society.For example, teenagers will regard those killers and murderers in the films and on TV as role models and copy their behaviors.It is recently reported in the news that a seventeen-year-old killed all his family members, one sister and two parents out of hatred and jealousy.In the real world, we are often reminded of the harm and hurt that violence in fictional world has brought us.n a word, our society is preoccupied by the violent scenes and plots at present.What the government has to do immediately is to take effective measures to control the amount of violence in media.Only in this way, can our society enjoy high level of security and peace.

【范文赏析】
两篇范文立意相近，但结构安排各有特点，展示了面对“问题解决型”写作任务时，同学们可采取的两种基本组织模式：前者在首段通过描述了大学生活常见的三类问题，在文章主体分别从三个角度予以解决；后者则是在每个主体段落中，逐个描述分析问题再对症下药。
从选词造句的角度来说，二者都大量运用了平行结构和排比句，这样既加强了列举事例的简洁性，又突出了语言的节奏感，例如：第一篇文章的首段中on campus you can also see the sights: some students are extremely embarraed when it’s time for them to pay the tuition; some students may have difficulty in going to sleep, when it’s time for them to have final exam or hand in term
of breakdown because of loneline or homesickne;第二篇文章中的Some become obseed with his or her crush; some feel heartbroken when being rejected; even there is a few who have tried murder or suicide at the time of breakup。此外，两篇短文虽都在提建议，前者采用了第二人称，多处使用了简练有力的祈使句；后者采用了第三人称，多处采用了分词、动名词结构，表意主次鲜明，同时体现了句式变化。 选词的亮点分别在于：前者使用了on the verge of sth（在…的边缘）, fix one’s eyes on …（集中注意力在…;关注）, stumbling block（绊脚石），tough nails（坚强的人）; 后者使用了短语inflict pain on…（使…痛苦），cut down expenses（减少开支），及谚语every cloud has a silver lining（每朵乌云都镶有银边）。

男女真的平等?
中文原文：
万事万物由方方面面组成，而那个“男女都一样”的口号，只是向女人提出要求，却没有相同的口号要求男人和女人做得一样：一样耐心持久地抚育孩子一样任劳任怨地操持家务;一样尽心尽责地侍奉老人。仔细想想，“男女都一样”的口号曾鼓励着许多妇女竭力地建树了和男人一样的丰功伟绩，同时，女人却依然要做那些和男人不一样的事。其实，所谓“一样”的口号，使女人在做着女人的同时再做男人;其实，所谓“一样”的口号，让女人们又给自己加重了一挑担子;其实，女人和男人在根本上还是不一样的。
参考译文：
All things under heaven and earth are made up of different parts, but the slogan \"women are as good as men\" makes demands on women without making a corresponding demand on men to be “just as good as women”：to raise children just as patiently, to do household chores just as uncomplainingly, to care for the old just as dutifully.Come to think of it, the slogan \"women are as good as men” has spurred women on to achievements to challenge men’s.But at the same time，women must still do what men do not stoop to.The fact is, “women are as good as men” means that women after doing what women do, must take up another burden.Let\'s face it, basically women are not as the same as men.

Is a sound social environment neceary for people to be good to others Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture, but nowadays many people dare not offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble.The iue has aroused public debate over the climate of morality and credibility, and many people sigh over the moral degeneration.In my opinion, while social environment is neceary zk.hushine.comfor people to be good to others, each individual should try his or her best to do good deeds and be sympathetic with others, instead of waiting for the environment to improve.There is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions, so people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits.some people even wonder, „Is our society hostile to good people?‟ The question may sound ridiculous but many people apparently think so.They believe that our currentwww.daodoc.com society provides a bad environment for good people doing good things, and good people pay a high price for being compaionate.In fact, such kind of things only accounts for a pretty small percentage, but maive media coverage makes the situation seem serious.Actually, most people around me are kind, warm-hearted and helpful, and I am quite delighted in their company.So I believe media should pay more attention to publicizing good people and exemplary deeds to enhance our confidence, rather than exposing disgusting behaviors.At the same time, as John Donne puts it, “No man is an island, entire of itself.Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” Since everyone of us is a component of the society, it is each individual‟s conducts that form social morality.Just imagine it is you who need help, what would you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously? www.daodoc.comSo, put yourself in other‟s position and be sympathetic.If we do nothing but wait for the environment to improve, nothing will happen.Only by removing the fence around our kind consciousne can we reverse the regre of social ethics, and make our world full of warmth and happine.Therefore, if help is needed, never hesitate to lend a helping hand.It will make you happy and feel better about life.In sum, I contend the idea that while social environment is neceary for people to be good to others, it is each individual‟s responsibility to offer help to those in need, and together we build up a more harmonious society.

当今社会，公司的发展越来越正规化，而公司掌舵人的作用也显得尤为重要，这也是众多公 司不惜重金竞相聘用得力高管的重要原因。那么，公司高管究竟要起到哪些作用呢？是不是只要想方设法为公司盈利就可以了呢？我们认为不是这样的，公司高管还应担负起许多其他责任，包括为全球环境和人民造福、塑造良好公司形象、保障公司长足发展等。 Multiple Responsibilities of Corporate Executives Corporate executives do have a responsibility to make money for their companies.For publicly owned companies, this means that they must find a way to maximize shareholder value.But it would be wrong to say that, without qualifi cation, making as much money as poible is an executive‟s only responsibility.First of all, corporate executives havexueli.woryi.com a duty to protect our natural environmentwww.daodoc.com and to not exploit human resources, particularly in leer-developed countries.These poorer countries sometimes have poorly developed legal systems and laws that can be used unfairly by companies, even though the companies are actually operating within the limits of the law in that country.As an example, a pharmaceutical company should not be allowed to test new drugs on people in a poor country even though it is perfectly legal under that country‟s laws.Corporate executives must take it upon themselves to ensure that it operates ethically in all countries and that the corporation does not exploit lax operating laws in underdeveloped parts of the world.Secondly, a related responsibility of corporate executives is to make sure that the company reflects a positive image to the rest of the world, thus giving stockholders and owners a sense of pride in being a part of that company.Most people do not want to be aociated with a company that is seen as greedy or exploitive.If corporate executives focus solely on making as much money as poible, there can be a backlash against that company for appearing too materialistic and uncaring.Executives www.daodoc.comat multinational companies such as McDonald‟s and Wal-Mart have recognized this problem in the past and have now become heavily involved in the communities in which their stores are located through charitable programs.A third and also related responsibility of corporate executives is to ensure the long-term viability of their companies.Employees, as well as other stakeholders, need to know that the company executives are interested in building an enduring institution.A good example of this responsibility not being honored is that of the Enron Energy Company and Arthur Andersen bankruptcy and accounting scandal.In this case, corporate executives abdicated their responsibilities to both companies in order to maximize short-term profit and poibly their own bonuses and stock options.Corporate executives do have a responsibility to make as much money as poible.But they also have the responsibility to do so in a manner that helps to protect the world‟s environment and people, that reflects a positive corporate image, and that will guarantee the long-term survival of the company.亮点回放 ★用词亮点
leer-developed ：欠发达的，同下文 中的underdeveloped。 take something upon somebody ：承担起 ……职责。 exploitive ：剥削的。
backlash ：后坐力 ，强烈反对 。 viability ：生存能力 ，可行性 。 abdicate ：正式放弃 ，退出。
★句式亮点
Corporate executives must take it upon themselves to ensure that it operates ethically in all countries and that the corporation does not exploit lax operating laws in underdeveloped parts of the world.lax operating laws意为“现行法律中的漏洞”；两个that均作为ensure一词 的宾语从句 。全句句意为：“公司高管必须承担起责任，确保公司在任何国家的运作都不会有违道德规范，同时在世界欠发达地区，也不钻现行法律的空子”。
A good example of this responsibility not being honored is that of the Enron Energy Company and Arthur Andersen bankruptcy and accounting scandal.a good example of this responsibility not being honored在此处表示 “一个不那么光彩的例子 ，反面教材”。此处作者以安然公司（Enron ）和安达信会计师事务所（Arthur Andersen）为例，充分证明了只图眼前利益而忽略公司长足发展的下场 。 ★篇章亮点
文章采用的是开门见山的开头方式，直接提出作者观点——为公司多赚钱不应是公司高管的惟一职责。紧接着，作者采用了分总的行文结构，在主体部分层次分明地论述了公司高管应当承担的其他责任 。逻辑信号词first of all ，secondly ，a third清晰地对文章做出了划分，使读者一目了然 。结尾部分概括全文，同时采用了与正文不一样 的表达方式 ，显示出作者扎实的文字功底 。

中文原文：
两只老虎
有两只老虎，一只在笼子里，一只在野地里。在笼子里的老虎三餐无忧，在外面的老虎自由自在。
笼子里的老虎总是羡慕外面老虎的自由，外面的老虎却羡慕笼子里的老虎安逸。一日，一只老虎对另一只老虎说：“咱们换一换。”另一只老虎同意了。
于是笼子里的老虎走进了大自然，野地里的老虎走进了笼子。但不久，两只老虎都死了。一只是饥饿而死，一只是忧郁而死。
许多时候，人们往往对自己的幸福熟视无睹，而觉得别人的幸福很耀眼，却想不到别人的幸福也许对自己不合适。
参考译文：
Two Tigers
There were two tigers; one lived in a cage and the other in the wild.The caged one didn\'t have to worry about his meal while the one outside was unrestrained.
The caged tiger was always envious of the freedom of the one in the wild, while the other one envied the caged one for his ease.One day, one tiger said to the other: \"let\'s change places\".The other one agreeded.
There upon the caged one went back to nature while the other came into the cage.But before long both died, one of starvation, and the other, melancholy.
Sometimes one is not conscious of his own happine and always thinks the gra is always greener on the other side of the fence, but not think over that one man\'s meat is another man\'s poison.

Why college students like to contact others than to be contacted
0912010 Susie
With the fast development of the society, we have stepped into an era of information and technology.Cellphone, regarded as a main communication tool, is enjoying an unprecedented popularity in the world .Most individuals,if not all ,can’t live without it.However,according to a recent survey of 2000 college students, a multitude of students like most about their mobile devices which they can reach other people ,while like least which other people can reach them .I’m in sympathy with the idea.And in my perspective of view, it is the undesirable pervasive atmosphere of selfishne that leads to the result.
It is a truism that our world is a unity of universal connection and men are mutually dependent.No one can lead a stable and trouble-free life in total isolation from others .For one things, a person\'s strength is limited and We are hardly to predict what is around the corner and when will we plunge into a difficulty.Once happened, it is of great convenience to seek help from others via cellphones.It is no wonder why students like most about their mobile devices which they can reach other people.For another,cellphones ,available to contact others whenever and wherever ,can smooth theirrestlene and provide a sense of security to some extent when they are in sorry shape .
College students desire various aistances, but they are not enthusiastic about helping others .A majority of them wrap themselves in a cocoon of selfishne .Maybe it is because they are the only child in the family and regarded as the apple of their parents’ eyes, they are in a habit of being loved than loving others .They just concentrate on their own things and are reluctant to receive calls,since 7out of 10 calls are usually asking for help.In their opinion,it means they have to stop their own matters and waste much time in their disposal .Even they are rather unwilling to help ,they have to, in hope to get the same aistance from others when they are in the face of difficulties .That’s why they like least about their mobile devices which other people can reach them .
This abnormal phenomenon has aroused heated discuion among educators on and off campus , and an increasing number of average people are voicing their growing concern over it .Our future largely hinges on college students ,who poe relatively higher talents .If they remain selfishne ,our country will lie in a balance .So it\'s urgent and admits of no delay to strengthen moral education and carry forward it.

中国的文学
中文原文：
与舞蹈和音乐相伴的歌谣跟口头流传的神话，远在文字出现之前就已大量产生。中国的文学正是发端于此。不过歌谣本是人们在生活中随兴而发的东西，上古时代也没有保存和记载它们的手段，因之也就很快湮灭，不留痕迹。我们只能从一些古籍书中推断它们的存在。古书中记载了一些据称年代非常久远的歌谣，但是大多出于后人的伪托，能够断定朝代的歌谣要到《诗经》里才能看见。从这点来看，古代神话对中国文学的影响更为显著。参考译文：
Long before the emergence of the written word, ballads, accompanied by music and dance,and myths, paed around by word of mouth, were widely popular.Chinese literature finds its origins in these traditions.However, ballads were what people improvised out of daily life, and due to lack of means to record and preserve them in ancient times, they quickly disappeared without leaving much of a trace.Today, we can only deduce their existence from ancient books, which recorded some time-honored ballads, though most of these are belived to be derivatives of later generations.Ballads in the Book of Songs are the earliest writings that can be dated.From this point of view, ancient mythology obviously has had a great influence on Chinese literature.

当生活中的不确定感向你袭来
我的一个好朋友最近接受了白血病测试。她对我说，最令人痛苦的折磨就是苦苦等待测试结果的那一周时间。我朋友说，她可能会学着直面坏结果。但真正让人煎熬焦虑的是那种茫然的感觉。
孟克(Edvard Munch)的名画《呐喊》哈佛大学心理学家吉尔伯特(Daniel Gilbert)不久前在《纽约时报》(New York Times)的专栏中写道，不知道要发生什么坏事比知道什么坏事要发生的感觉更糟。我们大多数人之所以会夜不能寐、抽烟发泄，并不是因为道琼斯指数要再跌1000 点，而是因为我们不知道道指会不会下跌──不确定的感觉比不确定的事情本身更折磨人。

Coping With the Certainty of Uncertainty
A close friend of mine recently underwent tests for leukemia.The most agonizing part of the ordeal, she said, was the week-long wait for the test results.A bad outcome she could learn to cope with, my friend said.It was the not knowing, the uncertainty, that was so difficult.
People feel worse when something bad might occur than when something bad will occur,\' wrote Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert in a recent New York Times op-ed.\'Most of us aren\'t losing sleep and sucking down Marlboros because the Dow is going to fall another thousand points, but because we don\'t know whether it will fall or not ─ and human beings find uncertainty more painful than the things they\'re uncertain about.

The secret of being a saint
Once upon a time there lived in a country a do-gooder.The king was very appreciative of his deeds and decided to honour him as a saint by a decree.On the saint\'s eightieth birthday, the king was invited to his birthday celerbration.He brought with him a painter so as to do a picture of the kindly saint as a paragon for his countrymen.
When the feast is over all the guests were asked to have a look at the picture.To their great surprise, when the picture was shown, what they saw was not a kind but a ruthle and cruel look.The king was very angry at seeing this and ordered his men to beat the painter.
Upon hearing the noise, the saint rushed to the scene to have a look at the picture.After viewing it, the saint knelt down and said, \"your majesty, the person in the picture is none other than me.\" Why?\" said the king, dumbfounded.\"This has been the very person whom I have never wanted to be.\"
In this world, there are no naturally born saints; only those who can do self-criticism and sel-examination, can become saints.

成为圣者的秘诀
从前，在一个国家里，有一位做了无数善事的善心者。国王非常欣赏他的善举，便封他为圣者。
有一天，圣者过八十大寿，国王前来庆贺，特别带来一位画家，想通过画家的笔，将这位圣者慈祥的容貌画下来，作为世人的典范。
用完晚餐之后，众多的嘉宾前来观赏这幅慈爱的画。肖像画家将这幅画像拿出来的时候，所有人大吃一惊。因为画里的人根本没有慈善的面貌，反而充满暴戾，粗野，邪恶的气息。国王一看，生气地要人把画家拖出去鞭打。
这时，圣者听到惊呼声，跑了过来，他看到这幅画后，跪倒在地：“国王，这画里的人，才是真实的我啊。”国王惊诧地问：“为什么?”圣者道：“这就是我一生挣扎着，不想去做的那个人啊。”
在这世上，没有天生的圣者，惟有能时时刻刻自我反省，自我检视的人，才能成为圣者。

Be ware our favorite telephone
Do you like phones? When college students are asked this question, and I suppose what they will answer.The recent survey about college student’s attitude toward phones aroused my interest.A result that what college students like phone most is that they can reach others and what they like least is that others can reach them is given by a profeor.I am partially agree with the profeor’s opinion as a college students and a member among the been surveygroup, what I like phone most is that I can reach others and what Ilike least is not others can reach me but it brings mepotential problems.
In modern society, I can’t get by without my cell phone and I view it as a neceary tool to reach others.To begin with, I came to college and I am away from my families.Cell phones allow parental communication which can make me feel more secure.Besides, even if the crime rates are low, as a student I may find myself in situations where I feel unsafe.Phones allow me to all for help when I feel unsafe.Cell phones allow me to call for help when I feel I need an escort.In a real emergency, where I need medical attention, a cell phone could prove lifesaving, and it brings me a safe .what’s more telephones allow me to have an always –on connection to my social network.I can use short time and few words to reach others at any time.I like phones which really bring me great convenience.
However, for me, what I like phone least is that it brings me potential problems.I waste lots of time on mobile phones, obseing with the QQ zone, wrapping in the games, chatting with others and so on.These are the visible effects.I think others also have this problem.What’s worse, phone brings indifference and distance between us, and this invisible effect is more awful.when my friend sand I have no phones, we get together playing and talking, but now we talking little when we get together.Everyone has a small screen, and we prefer engraining in the virtual world rather than communicating with our friends sitting beside us.A group of people sit together and play without communication.How awful that was.It is telephone that reducing our communication and bringing a gap between us.I found the telephone is the real subtle poison which is destroying people’s relationship .but few of us has realized this.Most of us just see it’s advantages and college students are addicted into it.
Beware our favorite phone which is destroying our relationship.As college students we need realizing this and using our phone properly.

4、复杂句型 包括Ⅰ.并列句;Ⅱ.从句(定语，状语，名词性，非谓语)
5.词汇的多样化
专八写作考的不仅仅是你的观点句的新颖更注重的是你的遣词造句的能力，也就是你的词汇的变性，词汇特色能使你的文章更加出众而取得高分。
6、多举EXAMPLE(重要)
多举一些名人的例子，有说服力又辩证，这就要求我们平时课外阅读的时候要用心去发现更多有用的写作素材，多留一颗心眼有助于你日后写作的进步。
7、建议：
写文章最关键的就是审题千万不要出错误，要不然你的论点写得再好也没用。
第18篇：专八经验
从2000年至今,本人已辅导八级五年了,过级率年年提高.其秘密无它,唯有忠告一句: 欲过专八, 需一 “心”两 “用”也.所谓一 “心”, 指的是需要有一颗平常心,能够坦然面对八级备考前所出现的种种情绪波动,如找工作受挫而万念俱灰或是因为做了两套八级模拟题感觉自己实在不行而想放弃等等.其实,我们需明白一点,考过专八不一定能证明你的英语水平有多么厉害, 考不过的话也不见得你的英语就很烂.明白了这一点,我们就大可把心态放平常了,专心去备战,不以物喜,不以己悲, 一步一个脚印的把自己的备考计划付之实践.
再看两 “用”.首先是要谨慎使用好你目前所拥有的近五年的真题.所谓谨慎,是指在各项基本功没练好之前不要盲目的做真题.所以,我们可以暂时把真题收起来,在每年一月底的最后一周开始使用.具体步骤如下:
1.备战专八具体分两个阶段: 第一, 是分项训练阶段,时间可从大四上学期开始, 从听力入手, 重点训练你的记忆力和速记能力.我的培训方法是精听20篇Note-taking 的文章, 每一次做完后可马上核对答案,每做完五篇后可自行总结一次,看看自己是哪方面的词汇没有记录下来.并把这五篇的答案归纳一下,发现专家出题的规律,到底哪类词出的频率比较高.认真听完这20篇文章并加以详细总结需一个月的时间,可用参考书是上外, 南大等四所高校联合编写的八级水平测试指南的第七级和第八级这两本书.
听力训练的第二阶段是新闻听力, 可从十二月底开始进行, 因为通常每年考的新闻都是上一年的国际大事.推荐的使用资料就是美国之音2005新闻听力, 北京汇智时代出版, 共两张光盘,两本书.只需精听这两张MP3的所有内容,基本可以把专八新闻一举歼灭.你需要用的时间大概是半个月.
另外，从2004年前，专八考试有了新的调整，最大的改变是时间从原来的上午加下午的考试变成只考一个上午，看起来难度有所降低，但我感觉难度反而有所加大了，因为一个普通人的注意力很难集中达三个小时的。为了适应这一变化，考生应当早做好准备，也就是从每年国庆黄金周一结束起就可以开始进行体能训练了，如坚持每天下午长跑或是原地跳绳五分钟等。体能是保证你顺利完成八级考试的基本要素，也能帮助你训练注意力，增强你的意志力，开始行动吧！
第二， 在分项训练完成之后，可以开始做真题了，时间可以从大年初三开始，每三天做一套真题，严格按考试时间进行自我测试，在测试后马上核对答案，然后找出错的原因。接下来的两天，不要急着做题，可以把做过的真题再拿出来看一遍，重点看Note-taking的tape scripts, 因为每一篇的Note-taking的文章都很规范，层次分明，是绝好的写作范文。反复阅读能让我们学到很多写作的技巧，尤其是写文章时过渡的技巧和展开论点的技巧。
一心两用的第二“用”是指妥善运用好心理暗示的作用。我所说的心理暗示指的是在八级训练开始之前我会叫学生对照八级考试的每一项测试内容制定出自己的奋斗目标，分为最低奋斗目标和最高奋斗目标，即通过自己的努力后每项内容大概能达到多少分。同时要求学生每次做题后都要检测一下自己达标了没有，达到了自己的最低目标还是最高目标。心理暗示的作用是显而易见的，它能充分调动你的潜意识，从而激发你的潜力，让你时刻坚定不移
地朝既定目标前进，不会轻易放弃。当年我也是用这一招才取得了理想的成绩，成绩单到手后我发现自己每一项的得分和自己设定的最高目标几乎完全一样。实践出真知，我能做到的你也一定能。Trust me, you can make it.
攻略附录
下面谈的是具体的复习步骤。相对其他测试来说，专八更专业、更能检测出一个人的英语基本功到底掌握得好还是不好。从我的个人体会来看，专八测试的最佳时间应当是安排在大三进行。原因有二：第一，刚考完专四的考生状态还在，应当趁热打铁，再努力一把就可以轻松地进入专八的备战状态；其二，大四的学生一要忙找工作，二要忙写论文，极难抽出时间好好准备专八的考试。这是题外话，暂且不提。
专八是专四的延伸，更是专四的升华，需要比专四付出更多的努力和汗水。如果以为自己能轻松通过专四的考试那专八不过是小菜一碟那你就错了。相对专四来说，专八的难点有三：第一，听力更难把握，每题都能听懂，但很难在短时间内选出需要填的关键词；第二，改错题更是难上加难，能碰巧答对三题已属不易，做对五题的话可以请客吃饭了，想要超过五题绝对是难如上青天；最后，写作，中国人的老大难问题。我们动“口”还行，动“手”就要命了。在有限的时间要写出400字的英文实在是强人所难。英汉互译也好不到哪去，我们暂且忽略不记吧。
十年前，刚踏入大学校门的我在上听力的第一节课时自尊心就遭到了严重打击：整节课下来一头雾水，不知所云。听力不好是有原因的——初中到高中从来没听过英语磁带。还好我这人有个不服输的性格，立马发誓从哪跌倒就从哪站起来，于是开始了我的自我听力特训。总结一下，听力训练是分几个阶段的。最初的阶段，我注意把听力训练和词汇量的提高结合了起来。具体的做法就是白天背单词，每天背50个单词（具体方法在以后的单词攻略中有详细的介绍）；晚饭半小时后练听力，每天坚持听半小时的VOA、BBC的新闻，雷打不动。刚开始的时候，坚持很不容易。因为两周过去了，收听的内容没有一样能听懂，那种感觉是要命的，多次想把手中的收音机砸个粉碎。两周过去了，听新闻的时候有了“巨大”的突破，能听懂个别冠词和定冠词了，还听到了China这个词，心底的喜悦难以描述，开心得不得了，飞快跑到书店买了一盒英语新闻的磁带，打算乘胜追击。可是听了这盘磁带后，打击更大了。买磁带的时候我不懂“标准英语”和“特别英语”的区别，想当然的认为当然是先听懂标准的再听特别的比较妥，其结果就是那Standard English让我欲哭无泪。天啊，天底下竟然有这样快速的“鸟语”，我该如何是好啊？？？
打击归打击，悲痛归悲痛，伤心的我还是继续我的听力苦旅，每天半小时照听不误。直到有一天有个学长笑着告诉我应该先听特别英语再听标准英语的。当我重新跑回书店另买了一盘特别英语磁带并马上听了之后，我的人生有了彻底改变，听了标准的语速再听特别的实在是妙不可言——每个单词、每个句子、每个语调我都听得清清楚楚，每一句话我都能基本翻译出来。天下事有难易乎？为之，则难者亦易矣。可惜好景不长，我的快乐还没持续几天，新的挑战又出现了
随着听力水平的有所提高，我逐渐意识到一个道理：听懂一则新闻不算什么，真正的高手可以把听到的东西听写出来，还能用自己的话复述出所听到的东西。举例说明一下，当我在家看央九的新闻时，我妈妈很喜欢问我刚才播放的新闻讲的是什么内容。每到这时我就会很尴尬：明明听懂了，为什么不会表达出来呢？而且好像自己的记忆有问题，才播放的东西一下子全忘了。这样的水平能算听力好吗？不光如此，我们的听力训练也有误区：似乎非得在人
为创造的异常安静的情况下才可以进行听力训练，换了一个地方，一个稍微有点嘈杂的环境下我们的听力又失灵了。因此，我调整了一下自己的策略，重新确定了自己的目标，并把自己理想中的听力的最高水平反复描绘在脑子里：我认为啊，听力的最高水平应该是达到这么一种状态，无论你是在吃饭、看报还是在床上躺着准备睡觉了，只要英文的声音依然存在，你都应当能象听懂母语一样的听懂英语。就好比当你在吃饭的时候家里的电视放的是新闻联播，尽管你在吃饭，尽管你在和别人讲话，但新闻里播放的中文还能时不时的进入你的耳朵，你还能在无意识的状态下不怎么费劲的就能听懂新闻的内容，这才是我们要达到的状态。真正的听力就应当如此——在你最放松的情况下，在嘈杂的环境下你也能听懂你在听的任何语言。可是说来容易做起来真不简单啊，我完全做到这一点是到了工作后的第二年(将近五年的训练)，那天发生的奇迹到现在我还历历在目.
背单词之我见
读大一的时候，我学英语下工夫最多的地方就是背诵单词。凭着不怕苦不怕累的满腔热忱，到了大三的时候硬是把刘毅22,000的词汇攻了下来。方法尝试了不少，但到了最后的最后，总结出一大规律：根本没什么最佳的背单词的方法，也不需要什么所谓电子词典之类的昂贵且无实际用处的工具来帮助你记忆单词。解决单词的唯一“出路”就在于“死记和硬背”加上“活学活用”。具体该如何操作呢？
方法很简单，每晚临睡前给自己制定好明天一整天需要背单词的数量（个人可根据自己情况自行设定）并找好相应的单词（可根据自己的爱好从词汇书里挑自己最感兴趣的来记），找到单词后，把它们抄在可随身携带的小笔记本上，方便第二天可随时拿出来背诵。每周以五天为一个周期，每逢周末可暂停两天，作为巩固和复习用，然后下周继续。坚持一个月，然后试着坚持一年，保证让你的词汇量突飞猛进。
当然，有时候记是记住了，但如果你不用它们的话它们还是会跟你说bye-bye的。所以我们一定要学以致用。每学一个单词，我们不妨查看一下它在牛津英汉词典里的例句，通过了解它的具体用法之后我们在日常生活中使用时就底气十足，得心应手了。
2010-06-09 12:20:09 丫头片子 (丢了一个人)
1。词汇用刘毅1万就够了。因为无论你背了多少，做到阅读题还是有不懂的词。所以还是别把太多时间花在背词汇上，多做阅读，然后找出里面的生词，一个个解决掉。当然，刚开始好多生词，崩溃掉，但是到最后你会发现，再怎么生也就那些词。推荐星火100阅读。
2。预测题看个人情况。到后期可能就没题目做了吧，但是不做心里又忐忑，所以预测题就派上用场了。没多大用处，保持笔感罢了。
3。人文强力推荐冲击波。星火太多太混乱。我准备专八一个月，人文也看了一个月，每天都会瞄瞄。虽然好多同学也都看冲击波，出来后都抱怨人文太偏了，没考到几题。但是我却是满分。原因就是我把那本书边边角角都看，我觉得就都在里面。
4。听力。冲击波有本是专门针对迷你听的。不错。老师也推荐。
5。翻译。还是推荐冲击波。整本都做完了。当时也有复印同学的星火，但是做了一篇就做不下去了，不知道为什么。
6。阅读。第1。讲过了 星火100阅读。
anyway，许多好同学平常就有积累，所以考试前根本不用做这么多针对专八的题目，但是
像我这种临时抱佛脚的人，认认真真的单项克服比较重要。
____________________________________________________________
2010-06-09 12:53:00 逆水若寒
1.词汇我看的是刘毅词汇10000
2.人文我看的星火(今年的人文我全对)
3.改错看星火的 冲击波的太难不现实
4.听力 这个仔细做真题就够了 我做的星火感觉比真题简单，可以先拿它练练手
5.作文考前一个月突击下就行了
6.翻译 仔细推敲真题 有时间看看散文佳作108篇 星火的翻译也可以拿来练练
7.阅读 这个我还真没法指导 这个还没发度量 今年的阅读狂难平时多看看新闻报纸吧 ____________________________________________________________
2010-06-11 16:40:57 哦也
人文建议买星火的，我今年买的是冲击波的，我同桌买星火的，可以建议相互看一下。 考试指南那一本是一定要买的。
而且要做上两遍。
听力的，我买了星火的新闻听力，还买了冲击波的听力填空，还有听力（是套题） 词汇我也是用冲击波的，没有背多少，但是只是要养成每日背点单词的习惯。
阅读，我先是做完了冲击波的阅读，很少，就十套，然后买了星火的100篇，这个没有做完。因为后期就钻研真题了。
写作我没有买书。 翻译买的是冲击波的。
我偏向于冲击波，特别是听力，因为我考专四的时候在上面发现了我听过的原题，所以专八也买冲击波的。
其实书都是差不多的，关键是，买了回来要有去拼的意志力。
好好加油吧

现在复习太早。不如多看点美剧，听听VOA练练听力，结竟听力是最不能速成的。 单词，六级的就够。
人文么大概考前两个月翻来复去看个5遍差不多。我用的星火的。
翻译看看翻译技巧句子翻得像人在说话就行。 作文背点模版。
阅读么现在一天至少练一篇，最后一个月再掐时间做。
反正我觉得人文是能靠死背的，这10分是要志在必得才行。听力最最重要，也是最需要积累的。好好练。
个人觉得真题一本吃透就行了。 模拟卷难度太大没有参考价值。
但是现在专八的确是一年比一年难了，2010年的通过率好像全国也不高。
反正不复习能过的人肯定平时也是下了苦功的，不要听人家说什么裸考考过的这种，这种人害人。
还是要好好看的。
专八是春节后了。不要指望春节能看到什么书，系统的复习要春节前就完成，节后只能是巩固加强了。

1。词汇
我买的星火，没背完。据说双环境挺好的。但是词汇这个东西有没背完不重要。重要的是反复反复到哪里算哪里
2。真题是一定要买的，每天一套或者隔天一套。做真题崩溃了改做预测。话说，专八的预测比真题简单。当时我做真题一天一场崩溃
3。人文知识星火的，冲击波。其实我两本都有，都是学姐那里传下来的。两本配套看。
4。听力、翻译、阅读需要再单独买书吗？
听力我一向很好，大概美剧看多了。所以没有单独买。
翻译也是学姐那里传下来的。
阅读买了冲击波和星火 一本极简单一本及复杂。到现在就两本各做了一份两份躺在那里了。
我复习专八基本上都是心理战 。每天上午做完真题开始崩溃。然后一番心理建设就吃午饭睡午觉了。醒来看看人文又晚饭了。接着看看这题又是一场崩溃，然后又一番心理建设又开始看单词 然后困了就睡了 每天循环 大概十来天 就这样。
最后稀里糊涂过了 专四的时候裸考 过了 专八的时候倒是准备了几天
但是心理那个一个七上八下啊 估分的时候四十多 考出来六十多
二流学校不努力学习的人 没啥好抱怨的
现在出来找工作也没啥优势 但缺了这个就算一个劣势了
--------------------------
给楼主建议
估计就是有空 泡图书馆 去自习教室 看点英文杂志 做点杂七杂八的练习
坚持看点有营养的美剧然后分析人家的句子 翻译可能要早点准备 如果有心可以来个晨读 born to win 跟星火专八作文 都蛮好的
and 加油 这世界牛人多 咱不够牛 但是也不能太弱了

话说我觉得真没必要去呗单词，因人而异吧，但是人文死背是必须的。可以采取几个同学互相问答得方式，记忆比较深刻。答题字一定要写好。作文逻辑要清楚。翻译呢每天中英各两篇，作文一周两篇。真题必须做，而且是掐时间做。听力相当简单，没问题的。大家加油 __________________________________________________________________
2010-08-08 17:53:40 L小姐 (Bazinga了~)
其实在我刚考完专四发现险过的时候，我曾经痛下决心好好学习
于是我买了一本冲击波的题库
回来寝室人说，我们老师说冲击波的书最烂了
于是我就再没看过
到了考专八的时候已经考过GT了，觉得专八是浮云
考前想看看人文，但是太懒+谈恋爱费时间，于是啥都没看~
还是过了~~~~~~~~~~~
我们寝室的都在看星火的吧好像是
不幸的是挂了两个~~~~~~~

个人觉得没有非常必要专门买书背单词，在阅读、听力中遇到一个就背一个
另外，一定要多做几套完整的题，从头到尾，要计时，多感受一哈现在的紧张感觉。
人文的话，看一两遍就行了，我买了本《星火》的，但是说实话我觉得用处不大，今年考的有些书上也没有（当然，不排除我自己看了书没记住）
最后，听力提高很快，大家多做点听力吧，肯定有用。

建议多留几套真题快考试的时候做，当年做了很多模拟题，但和真题差距还是很大，苦于最开始就把真题做完了。
第19篇：专八口译
1.Over 30 years ago, the Frankfurt Book Fair 图书博览会was host to its first Guest of Honour贵宾 – Latin America.The literature of this large cultural region was rather unknown in Germany before that time.That changed considerably after being Guest of Honour.In China, over 90,000 titles are published every year, but only a fraction of these ever become known in Germany.In the other direction, every year over 600 licences of German-language titles are sold to China.After being Guest of Honour, this mutual trade of licences will increase significantly.In preparation for an upcoming Guest of Honour, German publishers typically begin expanding their programmes with titles from the respective country already two years in advance.To support this, the Frankfurt Book Fair takes on a mediating role, for instance, by bringing editors and translators together and presenting interesting titles.To specifically promote translations, it is typical for the Guest of Honour country to set up a subsidy programme which encourages international publishers to translate their country’s literature.Accordingly, the Chinese Bureau for General Administration of Pre & Publication (GAPP) has recently set up a translation fund to facilitate the adaptation of Chinese fiction and non-fiction titles into German as well as into other languages.I am especially pleased that this has been set up in close cooperation with the Frankfurt Book Fair.A contributing partner of the translation fund is the Book Information Centre (BIZ) in Beijing, which is a satellite office of the Frankfurt Book Fair financially supported by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Why invite a Guest of Honour to the Fair at all? The idea came about based on the conviction that the marketing of culture can only be succeful if there is a balance between cultural and commercial interests.What is fascinating about culture is how it croes borders and has the potential to touch people around the world.Since the Frankfurt Book Fair has always been characterised by its international scope, international exchange is both an economic factor as well as a question of cultural policy.With every licence sold, the probability increases that on a worldwide scale we learn more about each other and will understand each other better.An important step in this direction came in 2007, when Germany was the Guest of Honour at the Beijing International Book Fair.Another important step will be the presentation of China as the Guest of Honour in Frankfurt in 2009.The succe story of the Frankfurt Book Fair clearly proves that culture and commerce can go hand in hand.On this note, I would like to wish you all a very succeful time during the International Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen.And I am looking forward to the Guest of Honour presentation of China in 2009! 2.The 4th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair (ICIF)will be held in Shenzhen from May 16th to 19th, 2008.ICIF is hosted by Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China, Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, General Administration of Pre and Publication of the People’s Republic of China, Guangdong Provincial People\'s Government and Shenzhen Municipal People\'s Government.It is the only nation-standard, international, comprehensive cultural fair of China.With “exhibition and exchange” as its cores, ICIF makes efforts to establish an exchange platform for Chinese cultural products and projects, promote the development of China cultural industries, and spread Chinese cultural products to the world.
With the idea of internationalization, specialization, market-orientation, standardization and high quality, ICIF has been held succefully for three seions.ICIF displays China’s most excellent cultural products and cultural achievements.It is a platform for displaying China’s cultural industries.With most completed products and largest scale, ICIF is an ideal channel for you to get to know China’s cultural development and cultural market, and also for exchanging cultural technology and information.By providing suppliers to the buyers, ICIF has established a platform for quicker, more convenient and lower-cost purchasing.It is an excellent platform for the worldwide cultural industries to exchange and cooperate.

Why?
第20篇：专八优质
Is a sound social environment neceary for people to be good to others Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture, but nowadays many people dare not offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble.The iue has aroused public debate over the climate of morality and credibility, and many people sigh over the moral degeneration.In my opinion, while social environment is neceary for people to be good to others, each individual should try his or her best to do good deeds and be sympathetic with others, instead of waiting for the environment to improve.
There is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions, so people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits.some people even wonder, ‘Is our society hostile to good people?’ The question may sound ridiculous but many people apparently think so.They believe that our current society provides a bad environment for good people doing good things, and good people pay a high price for being compaionate.In fact, such kind of things only accounts for a pretty small percentage, but maive media coverage makes the situation seem serious.Actually, most people around me are kind, warm-hearted and helpful, and I am quite delighted in their company.So I believe media should pay more attention to publicizing good people and exemplary deeds to enhance our confidence, rather than exposing disgusting behaviors.
At the same time, as John Donne puts it, “No man is an island, entire of itself.Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” Since everyone of us is a component of the society, it is each individual’s conducts that form social morality.Just imagine it is you who need help, what would you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously? So, put yourself in other’s position and be sympathetic.If we do nothing but wait for the environment to improve, nothing will happen.Only by removing the fence around our kind consciousne can we reverse the regre of social ethics, and make our world full of warmth and happine.Therefore, if help is needed, never hesitate to lend a helping hand.It will make you happy and feel better about life.
In sum, I contend the idea that while social environment is neceary for people to be good to others, it is each individual’s responsibility to offer help to those in need, and together we build up a more harmonious society.
Financial Disparity ： Not a Barrier for Friendship
With the development of market economy in China arise the income gaps between people working in different fields ; some earn good money ； some make ends meet； some others live on narrow means.On top of many social problems this financial disparity may cause, there is a
claim that it affects friendship.The aumption seems reasonable, but we may find it does not really hold water by taking a close look into the subject.
First of all，true and lasting friendship is built on common values, pursuits ,or hobbies rather than similar incomes.Friends are those who agree with your life views and stick to the same principles, those who encourage you when you lack confidence in meeting challenges and pursuing your dream, or those who share your interests and appreciate your tastes.Indeed, what strengthens the emotional bonds between you and your pals is not the same amount of wealth
but spiritual commonalities.Of course, with similar financial backgrounds, you will probably know better about each other\'s life style, but the difference in this aspect will not matter if you are mutually appreciated，needed and trusted.The friendship between Marx and Engels—the two German revolutionists—is a case in point.The former was often in debt while the latter was well-off； yet the same socialist dream drew them together and made them forever friends.Moreover, financial disparity between friends does not cause trouble because each of them usually lives a self-reliant life.Different from a married couple who have common properties, budget and spend their income together ,even very close friends live on their own finances.For instance, though we exchange ideas with and confide secrets to our friends，we will never rely on them for a comfortable life, no matter how rich they are.Admittedly, there are times when we may go out for fun or to dinner together with friends； however, whether they are richer or poorer than us, we can definitely find a place suitable for all rather than one beyond somebody\'s means.
It is claimed that people with different financial backgrounds have different social contacts and accordingly, as friends, will get estranged sooner or later.It is true in some cases, but bosom friends are not those
who you get in touch with every day ； instead，they are those who lend their hands to you when you fall into trouble, just as the old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.Hence, despite their distinct material life, the richer and the poorer can retain their friendship as long as they still care about each other, understand and support each other.
To sum up，financial disparity will not affect friendship when people have common spiritual pursuits, lead an independent life and stand by each other for better or worse.It might be quite safe to say that money is not the barrier but the touchstone of real friendship.
