          Someone asked a young artist, "Did you sell any of your paintings at the  
art show?" "No, but I am encouraged," he replied. "Somebody stole one." And  
years later he became world known. 
          Humor may sustain us in hard times and bring happiness in everyday  
life. 
          Once my neighbor told me that he shaves fifty times a day. Was he crazy? Of  
course not―he is a barber. 
          So, my dear friends, remember, we need humor and try to be humorous in your  
life. Next time, when you are asked, “How can I stop water from coming into my  
house?” Say, “Don't pay the water bill.” 
          四.你的一个熟人下岗了,你给他写一封安慰信,并给他出点主意。以下谚语可以有选择地用于你的信中。 
          1. All roads lead to Rome. 
          2. All things are difficult before they are easy. 
          3. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 
          4. God helps those who help themselves. 
          My dear aunt, 
          I’m greatly surprised and sad to hear that you’re laid off. But please  
don’t worry too much. All roads lead to Rome. I believe we will find a way  
out. 
          I remember when I was a child, I had so many colorful and comfortable  
sweaters that I became my friends’ envy. Those were all your masterpieces.  
Recently I made a survey in the city where I’m living now, and found that unique  
hand-knitted things are much more welcome than mass products. Would you think  
about taking up knitting as your second career? I know, all things are difficult  
before they are easy. We will meet some unexpected difficulties in the  
beginning. But I firmly believe that nothing is impossible to a willing heart.  
Maybe your product will turn out to be a name brand. 
          My dear aunt, please do think about it. I’ll lend you a hand. Take  
care. 
          Your dearest niece 
          五. On The Earth or into the Sky? 
          With the Shenzhou No.6 successfully soaring into the sky and returning to  
the earth safely, China’s space flight has stepped further forward. But there  
arises a controversy: does it merit all the large sum of money and efforts (put  
in to achieve the success)? 
          Given the poor conditions in rural China, the children not being able to go  
to school, the husbands struggling to sustain a family, the old having  
difficulty living a healthy and happy life, some critics hold that the money,  
which has gone to the research of space flight, should have been taken better  
advantage of to improve people’s lives in the not so developed areas in China.  
They wonder what on earth the significance is to these people as far as the  
space flight is concerned. 
          But tastes differ. Those who approve of space flight maintain that it not  
only indicates our country’s progress in science and technology but also  
benefits all of us in that it helps in other scientific areas, Additionally, to  
compete in the world, we have to invest in space exploration to win worldwide  
attention and respect. 
          From my point of view, what we should give priority to is people’s lives,  
as it is the fundamental problem of almost every country. On the other hand, we  
should keep pace with the world in science and technology, space flight  
included. Only in this way can we have an advanced and harmonious society to  
live in. 
          六.Online Education 
          1. 目前网络教育形成热潮。 
          2. 我认为这股热潮的原因是..... 
          3. 我对网络教育的评价。 
          Recently an online activity has become very ‘in’. That is online education.  
68 online education colleges have been established in the past decade in our  
country. 
          Why could online education be so popular in such a short time? Among other  
reasons, the quick development of internet should be an essential one, which  
makes all our dreams of attending class in a distance possible. Another  
underlying reason is the quick development of both society and technology.  
Today, modern science and technology is developing with lightning speed. To  
catch up with this development we all feel an urgent and strong desire to study.  
While on the other hand, due to the great pace of modern society, most people  
are too busy to study full time at school. Online education just comes to their  
aids. 
          Personally, I appreciate this new form of education. It’s indeed a helpful  
complement to the traditional educational means. It can provide different  
learners with more flexible and versatile ways to learn. Most of all, with  
online education, we can stick to our jobs and at the same time study and absorb  
the latest knowledge. |
