easy for the friendship grounded on common / shared interest to break up.2)Children must learn to distinguish between violence and bravery / courage in computer games.3)There spring up so many new things every day in the world that it is no longer sensible to expect a person to know / keep track of everything.4)Laws do not regulate such things as betrayal to friends;that is why there is what we call / is called “the court of morality”.5)Today’s culture is described as “fast-food culture”.Whatever they may be / are doing, people just pursue the greatest / maximum satisfaction within the shortest time.6)As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch.If you want something, go and earn / work for it.2.As is commonly acknowledged / It is commonly recognized that humans are social

animals.Bonded together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends.As to what friendship is, people have different notions / ideas.Some make friends for mutual utility.Once the ground for such friendship disappears the friendship also breaks up.However, a lot of people long for “soul pals”—those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together.Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions.Such is what we call “true and perfect friendship”.Theme-related Writing

Sample Essay One:

Bob and I became brother-like friends in our childhood.We played, dined and discussed our ambitions together.Once grown up, he started for the West to make his fortune while I became a policeman in New York.Before his departure, we had dinner together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place exactly twenty years from date and time, no matter what conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come.Then came the day we were supposed to meet.I was on my beat then.Walking on the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, I saw a man standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth.Before I could speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of Jimmy Wells.When he struck a match to light his cigar, I saw a pale face with keen

eyes and a scar.I recognized him immediately.It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the Chicago Police.For a moment I felt like telling him to escape right away.After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had travelled all the way to see me!But then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do.I said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear:”I will wait for half an hour.Jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” I then sent for a plain clothes man and had Bob arrested.Sample Essay Two:

Li Qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with.He is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever “sunshine and butterflies.” One day, I revealed to him my worries and anxieties: I, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class.I thought no boy would like to date me.Besides, I was very poor at my academic courses.He suggested that I should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university.Encouraged, I decided to change myself.After a 3-month training program on weekends, I could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, I could concentrate on the required academic courses as well.The applauses I won at each fashion show and the scholarship I earned proved that being myself was terrific.Since then, my life has changed a lot.Thus, Li Qiang became an important friend of mine.Last semester, we began to help young people who suffer pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems.We set up a Confidence Club.Those who come to us for help find our work definitely beneficial.Our friendship has led me into a sparkling, rewarding life.Enjoy English

1.Read aloud the following poems about friends.The Best of Friends

The best of friends,Can change a frown

Into a smile,When you feel down.The best of friends,Will understand,Your little trials,And lend a hand.The best of friends,Will always share

Your secret dreams,Because they care.The best of friends,Worth more than gold,Give all the love,A heart can hold.A Friend

A friend is like a shade tree

Beside a summer day.A friend is like the sunshine

That makes a perfect day.A friend is like a flower

That worn close to the heart.A friend is like a treasure

With which one will not part.2.Read the following passage for fun.Two friends were walking through the desert.During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other in the face.The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: “Today my best friend slapped me in the face.”

They kept on walking until they found an oasis(绿洲), where they decided to take a bath.The one who has been slapped got stuck in the mire(陷入泥潭)and started drowning, but the friend saved him.After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:”Today my best friend saved my life.”

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone.Why?”

The other friend replied: “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase(擦掉)it away.But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave(雕刻)it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

Theme related writing Write a passage in about 100-120 words, taking either of the following titles: Why I like to learn English I have learned English for about seven years.I should say that I am highly motivated to master English.First of all, learning English is useful, as it is becoming a world language and people from different countries often communicate with one another in English.If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them.Secondly, I like traveling a lot.A good mastery of English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world.Finally, I like literature a lot.If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickens and many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions.(118 words)Why I hate to learn English I have learned English for about seven years.I should say the more I learn English, the more I hate it.First of all, learning English is boring.I have to memorize many new words or rely on a dictionary to frequently check unknown words.Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time.Secondly, I don't understand why we have to learn a foreign language.I don't want to go abroad and I can always find a job that doesn't need English in China.Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read.So, if I don't have to learn English, I would rather use the time I spend on English to do things I like.(121 words)

2)I was grateful that my mother criticised me the other day.I had been asking her for money to buy all kinds of things that my friends have — a new pair of shoes or some new clothes.Every time I was refused, I played the same trick-threatening to pour the dish she cooked for the family into the river.My mother gave in each time I threatened to do that, but one day, she criticised me really hard.She scolded me for being selfish and inconsiderate and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on my own behaviour.I couldn't believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew afraid.I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards.I was thankful that my mother made me realize my mistakes.(139 words)2.Describe your attitude towards your father or mother when you were a teenager.When you could not agree with each other, what did you do? Use an incident from daily life to support the description.My father is a well-known carpenter in my village.I still remember that when I was in my mid-teens, I used to adore him so much that I followed him and helped him make furniture for the other villagers.He not only had good skills, but he was also willing to help the villagers with minor repairs such as mending a broken window frame or fixing a door, without charge.All the villagers respected him.They also paid me compliments when they saw me helping him, saying that I would grow up to become honest and industrious just like my father.I was so proud that I had a father who was so well respected.(116 words)

Theme Related Writing Write a passage of about 100-120 words according to one of the instructions given below.a.I have been described by many friends as a warm, sociable, and outgoing extravert.I find it easy to make new friends and I enjoy the company of people who share similar characteristics as I.When I am at a party, many people including those I do not know, will talk to me.I am not a great beauty, neither am I rich and intelligent.In fact, I am just a very simple person who is happy and smiles a lot.Maybe being happy is the attraction.I like bright colours, especially red.It is said that people who like red are passionate and have a lot of energy.I agree that I am enthusiastic about many things and like doing many things at the same time.So it seems there is some truth after all in what colours say about a person’s personality.(141words)

b.The person I admire most is my father’s youngest brother.He is known to us as ba shu because he is the eighth son in a family of eleven.He is a high achiever.Since young, he has done well in his studies and work.For example, he received a prestigious scholarship to study at a well-known medical school in England.Today, at the age of 62, he is still as outstanding.He is a well-respected surgeon and has won many awards.What I like most about ba shu is his sensitive nature, especially toward children who are born unlucky.He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to help those in poor and developing countries.His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impressed me a lot.(131 words)c.If I were given a wish to have two personality traits, I would choose to be an optimistic and creative person.I would like to be an optimistic person because those who are optimistic are usually satisfied and contented with what they have.They seldom let sadness be a part of their life.I want to be happy and being optimistic is one way to remain happy.I also would like to be creative.I think that creativity is inherited.Some may disagree and say that we can learn to be creative.However, no matter how hard one learns, it is those born with the talent of creativity who will make a great name for themselves like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.(131 words)

d.Here is no one person I dislike most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate: aggressiveness and selfishness.Aggressive people do not consider others’ feelings and will not think twice about hurting even those closest to them.I once had a neighbour who would beat his wife one day and appear loving the next.His wife lived in fear constantly but could do nothing because he was in control of her.Another personality trait I dislike is selfishness.Like aggressive people, selfish people only think of themselves.There are many everyday examples of selfishness such as those not willing to lend things to others and those not wanting to share exam tips even with their best friends.If you know someone with a combination of aggressiveness and selfishness, you should consider whether to call him or her a friend.(143 words)Unit 4 Enhance Your Language Awareness Working With Words and Expressions 1）1.They were smashing windows when the police arrived.2.70,000 tons of oil spilled from the tanker(油轮)and the sea was polluted.3.She volunteered to write an explanation of how the new computer system works.4.The book was inspired by the good deeds(事迹)of a real person.5.It was blowing hard and very soon the tree in front of my house fell with a great crash.6.The police report stated that he was once arrested for theft.7.The Dean(系主任)is not available at the moment, but you may call back in an hour.8.Up to two million people there are dependent on food aid.9.It was most unfortunate that I missed the chance to be interviewed by the company director.10.Can we find a mutually convenient time for us to meet? 2）1.exclaimed 2.arrange 3.aroused 4.resembles 5.volunteered 6.appreciate 7.requires 8.cracked 9.miracle 10.victims11.precious12.delicate 13.expected 14.interviewed 3）1.take over2.get through 3.no way 4.Leave off 5.put it … together 6.in touch with7.No sooner … than 8.in advance 9.looking forward to 10.arrange for11.in contrast 12.took on 13.made sure 14.move in15.in the hands of 16.go with 17.in poverty Increasing your word power.1）1.commission 2.smashed3.smash 4.volunteered 5.spill6.crash 7.contrast 8.commission 9.spilt 10.volunteer 11.contrasts 12.crashed 2）1.e 2.e 3.a 4.a 5.c 6.d 3）1.happy 2.impulsive 3.carelessness4.calmness5.firm 6.illness7.awareness 8.weakness 9.submissive Grammar Review.Task One Task Two 1.No mistake 2.has been living 3.enjoys 4.No mistake 5.tried 6.No mistake 7.No mistake 8.No mistake 9.have been visiting 10.likes 11.had I got 12.had broken 13.No mistake 14.No mistake 15.was suffering 16.No mistake 17.have been receiving 18.No mistake 19.insisted 20.No mistake 21.No mistake Cloze(1)chilly(2)sooner(3)than(4)exclaimed(5)fabric(6)delicate(7)joints(8)that(9)miracle(10)sacrificed(11)precious(12)loving Translation 1）1.Let’s get in touch as soon as we know the results of the test/exam.2.The music aroused an intense feeling of homesickness in him.3.You’ve been working all morning — you deserve a rest now.4.I had no sooner lain down than the telephone rang.Or: No sooner had I lain down than the telephone rang.5.My doctor says I’m too tired and has advised me not to take on any more work.6.Jenny volunteered to clear up after the gathering.7.The subject of the talk is announced a week in advance, but the name of the speaker is not.8.Your performance in the exam did not reach the required standard — in other words, you failed.9.She was so ill that she had to leave off work..10.There is no way to tell what is going to happen.The case is in the hands of the judge, and all we could do is(to)wait.2)当人们变得很老时，像祖父母或曾祖父母那样，他们有时不再能够照顾自己。他们会生病，或者摔倒而折断股骨，或者他们根本都不记得该如何穿睡衣。有时候虽然有些老人看起来还健康，但是因为他们自己独居，所以觉得很孤单。这时候全家人要碰个头，商讨一下让他们日渐衰老的家人去养老院去居住是否是一个较好的办法，因为在那里他们可以得到更好的照顾。Theme-related Writing 1.Imagine you were Meagan.Write a story about GG and her lost doll.Start the story with: “My GG — that's my great-grandma — lived in Maine many years ago.” My GG — that's my great-grandma — lived in Maine many years ago with her Mom, Dad and four sisters.Life was difficult then, but GG's parents tried their best to make their children happy.One Christmas they gave GG a beautiful doll with an exquisite porcelain face and long brown hair.The eyes of the doll opened and closed vividly.GG loved her doll so much that she played with her for a long time and didn't want to separate with her until it was time for Christmas dinner.GG laid the doll down gently on the hall table.But before long she heard a loud crash — GG's baby sister had pulled her doll off the table and it was smashed into pieces.Though GG's mother tried to put the doll together again, it couldn't be done.The doll was gone for ever.And so was GG's baby sister when she died of pneumonia a few years later.It was a deeply unhappy experience in GG's life.2.Write a short passage of about 100-120 words on the topic: “Living in a Nursing Home: A Plan for the Future?” Living in a Nursing Home: A Plan for the Future? Thanks to medical advances and better living conditions, most of us can live longer.The issue of where we will stay when we get old has become a concern for everyone.I did a survey last week on “Are you willing to go and live in a nursing home when you grow old?” Of the ten people surveyed, seven said “yes.” According to them, living in a nursing home would enable them to meet people of similar ages, get instant medical care, and have their meals and laundry taken care of.The three who don't want to stay in a nursing home think living in a nursing home would make them feel lonely and abandoned on the one hand and would have their privacy intruded upon on the other.Nonetheless, the survey does suggest that more people would be willing to live in a nursing home in the future.(147 words.)Unit 5 Enhance your language awareness Working With Words and Expressions 1)1.When we finally completed our courses, all my classmates gathered together to celebrate.2.I have always wanted to be a psychologist, but a recent incident changed my mind.3.It is not difficult at all.You can get it done with ease.4.To be a good research student, you must have a mind for inquiry.5.I could see her genuine concern for my health and I was deeply touched.6.The boss’s fear of change becomes an obstacle to the progress of the organization.7.Please keep stirring the oil to stop it from getting frozen.8.I am most grateful to you for all the help you have offered us.2)1.senior

求知若饥，虚怀若愚

——史蒂夫·乔布斯2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的致辞

（节本）我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加世界上最好的大学之一的毕业典礼。说实话，我从来没有从大学毕业。这算是我最接近大学毕业典礼的时候了。今天我想跟你们讲述我人生中的三个故事。2 第一个故事是关于连点成线。3 我在大学只读了六个月就退学了，但作为旁听生在学校继续呆了十八个月以后才真正退学。那么我为什么要退学呢？ 4 这要追溯到我出生以前了。我的亲生母亲是一个年轻的、没有结婚的大学毕业生。她决定让别人收养我，她坚信应由大学毕业生收养我，所以当她发现我养母从来没有读完大学、养父甚至连高中也没读完时，她拒绝在收养文件上签字。我父母向她保证我一定会上大学,她的心才软了下来。这是我生命的开始。5 十七岁那年,我真的上了大学。六个月后,我看不到其中的价值所在。我不知道自己真正想要做什么,也不知道大学能怎样帮助我找到答案，而我却在这里，花着我父母一辈子的全部积蓄。所以我决定退学，坚信一切最终会好起来。现在回头看看，那的确是我这一生中最棒的一个决定。从退学的那一刻开始，我就可以不必去上那些让我不感兴趣的课，而可以开始去选修那些看起来有意思得多的课程。6 我跟着我的直觉和好奇心走,遇到了很多东西,这些东西后来被证明是无价之宝。我给你们举一个例子吧。7 里德大学在那时开设了也许是全美最好的美术字课程。校园里的每张海报、每个抽屉的标签都用漂亮的美术字做成。因为退学了,不必去上常规的课程,所以我决定去上美术字课，学习怎样写出漂亮的美术字。我学到了关于serif和san serif字体的知识,还有改变不同的字母组合的间距,以及好的印刷式样之所以好的原因。它很美，有历史感，还有一种科学无法解释的艺术精妙。我发现那实在是太迷人了。8 当时这些东西在我的生活中全都没有任何实际应用的可能。但是十年后,我们设计第一台Macintosh电脑时,这一切又回到我的脑海。我把那些东西全都放进了Mac的设计之中。那是第一台拥有漂亮印刷字体的电脑。在大学，要是我没去旁听这门课，Mac今天就不会有这么丰富的字体以及赏心悦目的字体间距。又因为Windows只是照抄了Mac，所以任何个人电脑可能都不会有这些东西。要是我没有退学,我就不会去旁听那门美术字课程,个人电脑也就可能不会拥有现在这么漂亮的字体。当然，我在大学的时候，还不可能在展望未来的时候把这些点串连起来,但是十年后再回顾这一切,就再清楚不过了。9 况且,你在向前展望的时候不可能将这些点串连起来；你只能在回顾过去的时候将一个一个的点串连起来，所以你必须相信这些点会在你未来的某一天连接起来。相信这一点将会给你以信心去追随自己内心的感受，就算是偏离常道也不会傍徨，那会让一切变得完全不同。10 我的第二个故事是关于爱和失去。11 我非常幸运——因为我在很早的时候就找到了我所热爱的东西。我二十岁，和沃兹在父母的车库里面开创了苹果公司。我们工作很努力,十年的时间里苹果由车库里的两个人发展到拥有四千多名员工、价值超过二十亿的大公司。一年前我们刚刚推出了最好的产品,Macintosh，我也刚满三十，这时我被炒了鱿鱼。你怎么可能被自己创立的公司炒了鱿鱼呢?嗯,在苹果快速成长的时候，我们雇用了一个人和我一起管理公司，我俩对未来的看法发生了分歧,最终吵了起来。我们吵架时,董事会站在了他那边。所以在三十岁的时候,我出局了。我全部成年生活的焦点离自己远去,这真是毁灭性的打击。但我渐渐明白，我仍然喜爱我从事的这些东西。苹果公司发生的这些事情丝毫没有改变这些。所以我决定从头再来。12 我当时没有觉察,但是事后证明，被苹果公司炒鱿鱼是这辈子发生在我身上的最棒的事情。成功的负重感被重作新手的轻快感所取代，我又一次对任何事情都不那么肯定。这让我得到解放，进入

了我生命中最有创造力的一个阶段。13 在接下来的五年里，我创立了一个名叫Pixar的公司,与一个后来成为我妻子的好女人坠入爱河。Pixar接着制作了世界上第一部用电脑制作的动画电影——《玩具总动员》，它现在也是世界上最成功的电脑制作工作室。14 我可以非常肯定,如果我不被苹果公司开除，这些事情一件也不会发生。有时候, 生活会拿起一块砖头往你的脑袋上猛拍一下。不要失去信心。我很清楚，惟一使我一直走下去的，就是我做的事情令我无比热爱。你需要去找到你所热爱的东西。对于工作是如此，对于爱人也是如此。你只有相信自己所做的是伟大的工作，你才能怡然自得。而只有热爱自己所做的事才能做出伟大的工作。如果现在还没有找到，那就继续找，不要停顿。15 我的第三个故事是关于死亡的。16 大概一年前,我被诊断出患有癌症。我在早晨七点半做了一个扫描,扫描清楚地显示在我的胰腺有一个肿瘤。医生告诉我那很可能是一种无法治愈的癌症,我最多也就能指望能活三到六个月的时间。17 整整一天，我忍受着这个诊断结果。当天晚上我做了一个活体切片检查，他们将一根针插进我的胰腺，从肿瘤上取了几个细胞。医生在显微镜下观察这些细胞时尖叫起来,因为这竟然是一种非常罕见的可以用手术治愈的胰腺癌。我做了这个手术，现在我没事了。18 那是我最接近死亡的时候,我希望这也是以后的几十年里最接近的一次。没有人愿意死,即使想上天堂的人,也不想死了再去，但死亡是所有人共同的终点，从来没有人能够逃脱。你们的时间很有限,所以不要将它浪费在过别人的生活上。不要被教条束缚,那意味着你的生活是他人思考的结果。不要让他人喋喋不休的意见湮没你自己内心的声音。最重要的是,你要有勇气去听从直觉和心灵的指示。它们在某种程度上已经知道你真正想要成为什么。19 我年轻时，有一本叫做《全球目录》的精彩出版物，它是我们那一代人的圣经之一。它是由图尔特·布兰德创作的，他用诗意的笔触使这本刊物充满活力。这是理想主义的刊物，伟大的想法充溢其间。斯图尔特和他的团队出版了几期，当它完成了自己使命的时候，他们发行了最后一期。那是七十年代中期,我正是你们现在的年纪。在最后一期的封底上是一张清晨乡村公路的照片(如果你有冒险精神的话，可能曾在这种路上搭过顺风车)，在照片底下有这样一句话：“求知若饥，虚怀若愚。”这是他们停刊前的告别语。“求知若饥，虚怀若愚。”我总是希望自己能够如此。现在，在你们即将毕业、开始新的旅程之际，我也希望你们能这样：求知若饥，虚怀若愚。20 非常感谢各位！
