Dear Sir or Madam,
I’ve read your letter and given it some serious considerations. I understand that the crowded condition of our dining hall has caused you much trouble, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience we have brought to you.
To solve the problem, we have decided that we will open more service windows and offer more tables in our canteen soon. And a new school restaurant of us, Hollywood Fast Food, will begin business next month. I think it will relieve the crowdedness in the canteen, and I hope you can patronize our restaurant. Besides, I also suggest that you come to our dining hall to have meals with the E-card during the off-peak hours. At that time, you will enjoy a relatively comfortable environment.
We appreciate your comments on our dining hall, and we also hope that our canteen can provide comfort and convenience for you. Please let me know if you have any other proposal or question about our canteen.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
一看就是模版，会有两种可能：
模板部分已经认定，自己发挥的部分单词拼写没问题，语法错误几乎没有，语句比较通顺，偶尔还能用对几个连接词。总的来说就是自己临场发挥的内容和模板契合度比较高，让人读起来没有很强的违和感，这类作文大概得分在9-12分，居中间水平；字迹非常漂亮，很有“衡水中学体”的范儿，还能多上2、3分；模板部分已经认定，自己发挥的部分问题多多，最重要的是让人读起来很明显能分辨出高低层次，那就惨了！考官会撇去模板，就按最差的部分给分。这时候书写的。字迹是否工整成了最重要的因素。字好看的5-8分不等，字也丑的基本就定在2-4区间了。
所以，模板不是完全不能用，而是要提升自己的语言实力来尽力与模板找齐，这样才能稳住分数。我考研报考过北京、河北、重庆、山东，亲身经历发现北京的确在作文部分有压分现象，而在其他地区给分都还是稍稍宽松些。这也不难理解，报考北京的学校，基本没有特别次的学校，报考的同学整体水平也稍微高一些，判卷老师眼前一水的“比较高质量”的作文，给分的确会不那么“大方”。

Among all the worthy feelings of mankind, love is probably the noblest, but everyone has his/her own understanding of it. There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper. Write an essay to the newspaper to
1) show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the picture below,
2) give a specific example, and
3) give your suggestion as to the best way to show love. You should write about 200 words on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
范文：
In the picture presented to us, an oil lamp gives out bright flame against the dark background. The flame is like a child’s smile, so innocent and pure. The oil lamp here is a symbol of love, which is the greatest among all the valuable emotions of human being. Just as the Chinese characters around the lamp say, love is a l& the darker the room is, the brighter it looks. It is true that the harder the situation is, the more valuable love is.
One good example to illustrate this love is the "Hope Project". As we all know, although our economy is much better than years of ago, a great gap still remains between east and west regions, between large cities and rural areas. Thousands of poor children are forced to quit school because of lacking of money. All works of life have worried about this situation. "Hope Project", which is proposed just in time, calls for people to show their loves for those children unable to go to school, and tens of thousands of people has lent their hands without asking for any return.
the concept of obtaining fresh water from icebergs that are towed to populated areas and arid regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life. but now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations, especially since scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food.
glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently. three-quarters of the earths fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice, a reservoir of untapped fresh water so immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000 years. floating on the oceans every year are 7,659 trillion metric tons of ice encased in 10000 icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps, more than ninety percent of them from antarctica.
huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year. icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself freezes, rather, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea. as they drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind, pulled by subsurface currents. because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of the equator in the atlantic ocean. to corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not be too difficult.
the difficulty arises in other technical matters, such as the prevention of rapid melting in warmer climates and the funneling of fresh water to shore in great volume. but even if the icebergs lost half of their volume in towing, the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced by desalinization, or removing salt from water。
Dear President,
Being a senior student in this university, I am writing this letter with the hope of improving the students’ physical condition, as a growing number of students are getting much fatter, according to the latest survey.
Here are some suggestions I would like to put forward. First of all , greater attention should be attached to the physical condition of college students, and I hope you could play a vital role in spreading such an idea. Mean while, more sport apparatus and sport fields may be needed, as more students have enrolled in this great university year by year.
I do hope you can take the above suggestions into consideration and thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
1. It is hard to imagine a student focusing their energy on textbook while other children are playing.
当别的孩子在玩耍的时候，很难想象一个学生能集中精力在课本上。
2. Moreover, children will have less time to play and communicate with their peers due to extra studies, consequently, it is difficult to develop and cultivate their character and interpersonal skills. They may become more solitary and even suffer from certain mental illness.
而且，由于要额外地学习，孩子们没有多少时间和同龄的孩子玩耍和交流，很难培养他们的个性和交际能力。他们可能变得孤僻甚至产生某些心理疾病。
3. From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that, although extra studies indeed enjoy many obvious advantages, its disadvantages shouldnt be ignored and far outweigh its advantages. It is absurd to force children to take extra studies after school.
通过以上讨论，我们可以得出结论：尽管额外学习的确有很多优点，但它的缺点不可忽视，且远大于它的优点。因此，放学后强迫孩子额外学习是不明智的。
4. Any parents should place considerable emphasis on their children to keep the balance between play and study. As an old saying goes: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
任何家长都应非常重视保持孩子在学习与玩耍的平衡，正如那句老话：只工作，不玩耍，聪明的孩子会变傻。
5. There is a growing tendency for parent these days to stay at home to look after their children instead of returning to work earlier.
现在，父亲或母亲留在家里照顾他们的孩子而不愿过早返回工作岗位正成为增加的趋势。
6. Parents are firmly convinced that, to send their child to kindergartens or nursery schools will have an unfavorable influence on the growth of children.
父母们坚定地相信把孩子送到幼儿园对他们的成长不利。
7. However, this idea is now being questioned by more and more experts, who point out that it is unhealthy for children who always stay with their parents at home.
然而，这一想法正遭受越来越多的专家的质疑，他们指出，孩子总是呆在家里，和父母在一起，是不健康的。。
8. Although parent would be able to devote much more time and energy to their children, it must be admitted that, parent has less experience and knowledge about how to educate and supervise children, when compared with professional teachers working in kindergartens or nursery schools.
尽管父母能在他们孩子身上投入更多时间和精力，但是必须承认，与工作在幼儿园的专职教师相比，他们在如何管理教育孩子方面缺乏知识和经验。
9. From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that, although the parents desire to look after children by themselves is understandable, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.
通过以上讨论，我们可以得出如下结论：尽管家长想亲自照看孩子的愿望是可以理解的，但是这样做的缺点远大于优点。
10. Parents should be encourage
d to send their children to nursery schools, which will bring about profound impacts on children and families, and even the society as a whole.
应该鼓励父母将他们的孩子送到幼儿园，这将对孩子，家庭，甚至整个社会产生深远的影响。

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a student inthis university who regularly comes to the library to spend my spare speaking, the services you offer here are quitegood; however, I have some suggestions for you to adopt. And I would like toextend my greatest appreciation if you are so kind as to take my suggestionsinto consideration.
Tobegin with, will you please prolong the time for reading? In the daytime, mostof the students are having class, so they can't come to the library. Moreover, some of the books on shelves are out ofdate. If you are so kind as to provide us some books such as the latestmagazines, we will be greatly honored.
I really wish tohave a more comfortable library. Thank you for yourtime and consideration.

DearEditors,
I havebeen reading your newspaper for many years with a great enthusiasm andinterest. It is my view that limiting/prohibiting theuse of disposable plastic bags is of utmostsignificance.
Tocrack this hard nut, I would like to give/offer/render/propose several useful/practicalrecommendations as follows. First and foremost, it is imperative for us to banthe free use of disposable plastic bags. In addition, weshould develop possible alternative forms to replace them, such as paper orclothing bags. Last but not least, plastic bags should be offeredin a much higher price in department stores or supermarkets.
I hopeyou would find the above proposals conducive and I would like to discuss thismatter to further details. Your prompt attention to my suggestions would behighly appreciated.

Pleaselet me know which solution you prefer at your earliest convenience. I reallyhope you will accept my sincere apology.

感谢信：
Dear Xiaoqiang,
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude. I amreferring to that unfortunate accident the other day, when I was knocked off mybike by a taxi.
If it had not been for your timely assistance ingiving me first aid, I fear that theconsequences might have been much serious. Everyone agrees that it was yourquick-witted response in that emergency that has led to this satisfactory outcome.
Although nowadays people in mounting numbers talkabout the need to be unselfish, we seevery few people practice what they preach. If there were more people like you, this world wouldbe a much nicer place.
It is vividly depicted in the cartoon that a boy is running along the racetrack with painstaking efforts, sweat pouring down his face. After a long journey, he is making the final spurt toward the finishing line, with strong determination to become the champion. It seems that he could rest for a while to enjoy the ecstasy of victory. However, straight ahead lies a sign which indicates a new "starting point" and urges him to continue rushing to the next destination.
Undoubtedly the cartoon conveys the meaning that life is like the process of running in which one should make constant efforts and never stop making progress. Owing to the quickening pace of life, competition goes increasingly fierce in all walks of life, stimulating everyone to pursue one goal after another.
Once a person stops making progress, he can hardly maintain his past glory and survive in this competitive world. As Deng Xiaoping, the great Chinese leader said, "development is the only way." No matter how powerful a country is, no matter how successful a specific institution, it will definitely seek new development in high speed. Generally speaking, neither a country nor a person can remain stagnant.
A case in point is the successful launching of "Shenzhou V Spacecraft" which sets china in a high position of aviation and space flight. Although it means a great achievement for us Chinese, we are facing new challenges in the future and need to do further research in space technology. Another illustration is closely related to us, the examinees. If we pass this test and are fortunately admitted by a university, we shall not stop making efforts. Instead, we are confronted with the challenge of conquering the difficult graduate courses. We still have to strive for success in our future academic study, employment and career. On the whole, these examples effectively clarify the saying that "destination is another starting point."
If I were to leave my home for a year, there is one thing I definitely would take with me: my cellphone. With my cell phone, I could call my friends or family if I ever was lonely, needed advice,or just wanted to talk.
如果我离开家一年，有一件事我肯定会带上：我的手机。如果我感到孤独、需要建议或只是想聊聊天，我可以用手机给朋友或家人打电话。
If I were away from home for a year, I would be very lonely, especially in the beginning before Imade friends. If I could call my mother and father, I would hear their familiar voices and I wouldnot feel so lonely. Hearing my friends’ voices would also help me overcome my sadness.
如果我离开家一年，我会很孤独，尤其是在刚开始的朋友面前。如果我能给我的父母打电话，我会听到他们熟悉的声音，我就不会感到那么孤独。听到朋友们的声音也能帮助我克服悲伤。
I’ve never been on my own so there are many things I am not familiar with. I’ve never opened abank account, got a driver’s license, or made my own food. If I had to cook chicken orsomething, I could call up my mother and she could tell me how to make dinner.
我从来没有独自一人，所以有很多事情我不熟悉。我从来没有开过银行账户，没有驾照，也没有自己做过饭。如果我必须做鸡肉或其他东西，我可以打电话给我妈妈，她可以告诉我如何做晚饭。
Sometimes, I may just want to talk in my own language. With my cell phone, I could call myfriends and tell them about my new life. This would make them jealous of me. I would call thema lot so they could hear all the wonderful things I am doing.
有时，我可能只是想用自己的语言说话。用我的手机，我可以打电话给我的朋友，告诉他们我的新生活。这会让他们嫉妒我。我会经常给他们打电话，这样他们就能听到我正在做的所有美妙的`事情。
For me a cell phone is a necessity. I would need it anytime I was lonely, anytime I needed to dosomething I didn’t know how to do, and anytime I just wanted to talk. Of course, the phone billwill be sent to my parents.
对我来说，手机是必需品。每当我孤独的时候，每当我需要做一些我不知道该怎么做的事情，每当我只想说话的时候，我都会需要它。当然，电话费会寄给我父母。

Given is a pie chart, clearly illustrating the striking contrasts in college students’ reading purposes on mobile phones in a certain university. Overall, the aim of learning ranks the first, accounting for 58%。 Then, the next is searching for information, with 28%， followed by entertainment, at 12%。
These statistics above can be associated with the importance of mobile phones in students’ learning and daily life, but what result in the differences? On the one hand, smart phones are characterized by the diverse and powerful functions, which brings them great convenience and enhance their learning efficiency. A typical example is that they, with cell phones, can take online courses and look for useful information anywhere. On the other hand, compared with others, university students suffer greater mental stress, so they relax by listening to music or watching videos on phones.
As a youngster, I believe that we should use mobile phones in a rational way. Meanwhile, it is not advisable for anyone to be addicted to online games or social networks.
所给是一幅饼图，清晰地展示了某高校学生手机阅读使用目的对比。总的来看，学习的目的占最大比例，达到了58%。其次是查资料，占28%，紧随其后是娱乐，占比12%。
以上数据使人想到手机在学生的学习和日常生活中的重要性，但是，是什么导致了这些差异？一方面，智能手机有多样和强大的功能，给他们带来了极大的方便并提高了他们的学习效率。一个典型的例子是，他们可以使用手机在任何地方上在线课程、查询有用的信息。另一方面，与其他人相比，大学生承受着更大的精神压力，所以他们通过用手机听音乐或看视频来放松。
作为一个年轻人，我认为我们应该合理使用手机。同时，任何人都不应该沉迷于在线游戏或社交网络。
In the pictures above are a father and her beloved son. In the left cartoon, smoking a cigarette and sitting in a sofa comfortably, the father is watching a football match on TV and shouting, “Son, study hard for me!” On the contrary, in the left portrayal, at 9 p.m. ， the father is studying together with his son, both totally absorbed in their books. The caption indicates, “Instead of merely making a request, setting an example.”
The purpose of the pictures is to show us that utmost significance should be attached to practicing what you preach. On the one hand, parents teach much more by their actions, than by their words. Some of them may say to their children, “don’t say nasty things about so and so”， and then the children will hear them criticize their friends and neighbors. On the other hand, parenting is such a crucial responsibility, yet there are no required courses to prepare one to undertake this role in life. The only learning is the example from one’s own parents.
To sum up, parents are the best teachers.
Obviously, if parents’ actions don’t conflict their own words, they would have the opportunity to be outstanding examples of their children. Just as an old saying goes, “Action speak louder than words.”
在上面的图片中是一个父亲和她心爱的儿子。在左边的卡通，抽着烟，舒适的坐在沙发上，父亲在电视上看一场足球赛，大喊一声:“儿子，给我努力学习！“相反，在左边的描述，在9点，父亲和他的儿子一起学习，完全沉浸在他们的书。标题所示，”而不是仅仅发出请求，树立榜样。”
图画的目的是告诉我们，最大的意义应该练习你所说。一方面，父母教更多的行动，而不是他们的话。他们中的一些人可能会对他们的孩子说，“不要说坏话某某”，然后孩子们会听到他们批评他们的朋友和邻居。另一方面，父母是这样一个至关重要的责任，然而没有必修课程准备一个在生活中承担这个角色。唯一的学习例子从自己的父母。
总之，父母是最好的老师。
显然，如果父母自己行动不冲突的话，他们将有机 正如那句老话，“行动胜于言语”。

my aunt edith was a widow of 50, working as a secretary, when doctors discovered what was then thought to be a very serious heart ailment.
aunt edith doesn’t accept defeat easily. she began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart surgeon, dr. michael debakey, of houston, texas. he had saved the life of someone with the same ailment. the article said dr. debakey’s fees were very high; aunt edith couldn’t possibly pay them. but could he tell her of someone whose fee she could pay?so aunt edith wrote to him. she simply listed her reasons for wanting live: her three children, who would be on their own in three or four more years, her little-girl dream of traveling and seeing the world. there wasn’t a word of self-pity---only warmth and humor and the joy of living. she mailed the letter, not really expecting an answer.
a few days later, my doorbell rang. aunt edith didn’t wait to come in; she stood in the hall and read aloud: “your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. if you can come to houston, there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation. signed

The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease violent crimes in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It has been suggested that the government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the rate of violent crimes in society. It would certainly be easy to garner support for such a move, but solely adapting such a policy will do little to effect social change.
The question has often been raised as to what extent media violence actually influences behavior. One can readily recount incidences of a child or young person viewing some violent behavior in a movie or on television and then trying to reproduce that situation in real life. It is hard to estimate the amount of violence which can be traced back to television shows or movies but the existence of such incidences is undeniable. Logically, removing this violent content should directly reduce the incidence of such violence but this relationship between violent media content and violent behavior is not so simple
While much has been recorded of young people imitating media violence, little has been directed to the influence of sad violence on those who are able to differentiate the imaginary situations in movies and on television from reality.If one were to find no similar relationship it could be immediately surmised that the most direct solution is increased supervision of young people, and not themodification of media content. The degree to which people are influenced by what they see in the media depends directly on how responsibly they are educated about the relationship of fiction and reality.
Watching comedies does not transform one into a comedian, and watching violent movies does not directly make one violent . Rather than taking crude half measures to repair complex social problems, more focus must be placed on the nature of interpersonal relationships, social responsibility and personal accountability.

Dear my friend,
With the development of our society and economy, the number of vehicles in our city is soaring, which not only results in heavy traffic congestion and air pollution, but also brings much inconvenience to us. Everyone need desirable living environment, and it’s imperative for us to get moving to make us live better now.
Seeing that the more and more private cars is the main cause of such problems, the shift from you private cars to the public transport, such as the bus and subway, is the most effective means to ease the troublesome situation. So, let’s make our joint efforts to build a better city.
Sincerely yours,

Air Pollution
Air pollution is one of the major problems of the modern world.A great deal of energy is needed to run the factories of modern industrial nations.Automobile, trains, planes and busses need energy, all of this energy is produced by burning fuels.The burning produces wastes, some of which remain in the air, causing air pollution.Scientists are finding ways to stop air pollution especially in big industrial areas and densely-populated cities.They are studying new ways of generating electricity that may be less damaging to the environment.In the meantime, many power plants are being modernized to give off less polluted material.Also, engineers try to design and locate new power plants to do minimum damage to the environment.However, it may be that we still have a long way to go before we have a “clean” all of the countries are trying hard to prevent and control air pollution.There indeed seems to be no end to tasks that environmentalists will be required to do.People will continually find new ways to control pollution.Importance of Education
China, as a developing country, is determined to catch up with and even surpass the developed ones.I think that one of the best possible ways to do so is to give first priority（优先）to the development of culture, science and especially education.In modern times, when science and technology are making great progress, the education of the work force is of primary ， many of the success in advanced countries have demonstrated that a nation 's prosperity mainly depends on the quality of its labour force, namely those who have been well educated.In a developing country such as China, our investment in culture, education and science, and especially elementary education, must enjoy top priority.This is crucial（决定性的）for China to catch up with the developed nations in today's surging（汹涌的）waves of technological ， the gap between China and advanced countries will be widened rather than bridged.The place of Science and Technology in Modern Life
Human life can not continue without science and technology.For many years, human society has developed with the advance of science and technology while the development of science and technology has in turn brought the process to mankind.So the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our fore fathers.The development of science and technology have brought about many changes in people's life.For example, the invention of television and space rocket have opened a new era for mankind.Through the use of TV people can hear the sound and learn the events happening thousands of miles away.Owing to the invention of spaceship and rocket, the dream of man's landing on the moon has now come true.Science and technology also play an important role in our socialist construction.We may say, our socialist construction is just like a skyscraper, while science and technology are its base.Without the base, the skyscraper can't be built.Therefore, we should try our best to contribute to the development of science and technology so as to provide a more solid base to build our country.A letter of thanks

Dear Xiaojun:
I’m now writing these few lines to appreciate your hospitality during my traveling in Yunnan.Undoubtedly, my travel can’t have been so interesting and unforgettable without you.In the addition, it was your considerate care that made me like being at home.During those days in Yunnan, I do hope to have the opportunity of reciprocating.I will feel very honored and pleased if you come to travel through my city.How nice if would be to see you again.Would you kindly let me know when you are convenient? I repeat my thanks again for what you’ve done for me.I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.Please give my kind regards to your family members.Yours Sincerely

On Open Policy
The open policy means that our country is open to investment, trade and technical and economic cooperation with other countries on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.The purpose of open policy is to acquire advanced technology, management skills to serve our socialist construction so as to promote the realization of the four modernizations.来源：http://
We must adhere to the open policy.Because economic relations between states today have become increasingly close, and no country can possibly advance behind close in this way, can we gradually close the gap between our country and the developed countries.Through the implementation of policy, we can learn advanced technology and managerial expertise from abroad;make full use of the foreign capitals to set up great enterprises;absorb useful and healthy ideas and new knowledge of the modern civilization;and broaden our views and raise our level of competence.Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling

Nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study.This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon.First, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling.Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching.Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it.As for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help students pay more attention to spelling.Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance.Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.

范文1：??
What is humor? It is not the performances of a clown who attempts to entertain others, nor is it simply making fun of others. Humor is the wisdom and resourcefulness that can alleviate an awkward situation. Life inevitably brings disappointments, setbacks, and failures. If our endurance in the midst of frustrations is not sound, anxiety and panic can overtake us. If one has a sense of humor, however, one can mentally adapt to the changing conditions in a wise and healthy manner. ?
Humor can reduce distress and unhappiness by creating a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. While stiff expressions make others uncomfortable, smiles and wit can soften anger, relieve depression, and comfort a broken heart. Humor can foster better communication and understanding, and therefore not only brings happiness to oneself, but also, and perhaps more importantly, gratifies others. A sense of humor can certainly increase one's popularity. ?
Humor can clearly be of much help to our work, study, and life as it is beneficial to our physical and mental health. Not everyone one has an innate sense of humor, however. A sense of humor is usually acquired in relation to others. In order to develop a sense of humor, one must have an open mind and the ability to deal with unpleasant events and people. Humor also requires a broad spectrum of knowledge and optimistic thinking.

什么是幽默？它不是小丑企图取悦别人的表演，也不仅仅是拿别人来寻开心。幽默是缓和尴尬局面的智慧和机智。生活中避免不了失望、挫折和失败，如果我们承受挫折的忍耐力不够，焦虑和恐慌就会主导我们的身心。但如果一个人有幽默感，他就能用一种明智而健康的方式在心理上适应变化的环境。?
幽默通过创造一种愉快而友好的气氛来减轻不幸和苦恼。僵硬的表达让别人不舒服，微笑和机智却能熄灭怒火、减轻沮丧、抚慰绝望。幽默能促进更好的沟通和理解，因而不仅把快乐带给自身，而且更重要的还能让别人感到高兴。幽默感确实能提高一个人受欢迎的程度。?
因为幽默有益于我们的身心健康，所以对我们的生活、工作、学习无疑都大有帮助。但没有人是生来就有幽默感的。幽默感通常是在人际交往中形成的。为了培养幽默感，一个人必须有开放的心胸和接受不愉快的事物的能力。幽默还需要有宽广的知识面和乐观的心态。
范文2：??
A sense of humor is universally considered the most valuable asset in our personality. It is born within every person's heart, but it has to be cultivated.A person without a sense of humor is just like a spring without flowers or a dish without seasoning. In a sense, your personality lies in your sense of humor.
Humor can enhance physical as well as mental well?being. It helps us bare our burdens, reduce tension, helps us overcome our frustrations, relax our muscles, and dissolve countless trifles and irritations offered by day?to?day life.
With the cracking of a joke, all of our worries and sadness disappear like mist and we are full of vigor once again. Besides, humor helps us live in harmony with others. With it you can always stay on good terms with others. ?
One way to cultivate a sense of humor is to have a wide range of knowledge about many topics so that the slightest differences in meaning of a joke can be fully understood; otherwise we would be simply at a loss in such a situation. Another crucial point in developing a sense of humor is to have a rich imagination. Nothing can be worse than the lack of imagination to kill an otherwise funny joke. ?
A sense of humor is one of the ways in which we relax and recreate ourselves. The things we find humorous may vary, but to have a sense of humor is very important and should be cultivated to get the most out of life.
译文：? ?
幽默感被公认为是人的性格中最有价值的`私有财产。它是与生俱来的，但也需要后天的培养。一个人如果没有幽默感就像春天没有花朵，一盘菜没有调料。从某种意义来说，你的个性来自于你的幽默感。?
幽默能够提高我们的身心素质。它能够帮助我们减轻压力、缓解紧张、笑对挫折、放松身体、化解日常生活中的琐事和愤怒，它能化� 随着一声玩笑，所有的苦恼、悲伤和疲劳都会烟消云散，让我们再次充满了生机和活力。此外，幽默还有助于我们与他人和睦相处。有了它，你就会时常与他人保持良好关系。?
培养幽默感的一个途径是众多的话题都要有广博的知识，往往幽默是在细微之处见精神，只有拥有广博的知识才能懂得幽默；否则，我们在面对别人的幽默时就会不知所措。另外，培养幽默感时，同样关键的一点是要有丰富的想象力。缺乏想象力则会置幽默于死地。
幽默感是我们放松和娱乐的途径之一。 幽默可能因事而异，但至关重要的是要有幽默感，而且应该积极培养之，以期生活更加丰富多彩。

As is clearly reflected in the above pie chart, the purpose of students travelling abroad demonstrates obvious differences in one college of China. According to the data given, the purpose of enjoying the beautiful landscape takes a comparatively large share, accounting for 37%, while that of relieving pressure also takes away 20% of the whole proportion.
What triggers this phenomenon? It is not difficult to put forward several factors responsible for this phenomenon. To start with, with the rapid economic development of economy, people, including college students, are becoming increasingly wealthy, which enables them to afford the once-deemed- expensive oversea traveling. In order to enjoy the charming landscape all around the world, a large proportion of students choose to travel abroad. What’s more, along with the ever-accelerating improvement of economy and society is also the ever-increasing work and life pressure. Consequently, the purpose of relieving pressure ranks the second among all the purposes for folks to travel around the world.
In view of the arguments above, we can conclude that the current phenomenon is of no surprise. And therefore, it can be predicted that admiring the scenery and alleviating pressure will still be the main purpose for people to arrange a traveling to other countries.

When weuse the word “love”, we do not simply mean anattraction to a person of the opposite sex, which is avery narrow definition of the word. The picture below illustrates the realmeaning of love, by stressing the fact thatlove is emotional strength, which can support us nomatter how dark the world around us becomes. As a matter of fact, throughouthistory people of many different cultures have regardedlove as the most sublime of human emotions.
As anillustration of the power of love, we should remember howthe Chinese people of all nationalities respond to the call to help the victimsof the deadly earthquake in Sichuan Province. Although theirincomes are still low by international standards, people all over the countrydo not hesitate to donate whatever they can - be it money or goods - to helptheir needy fellow citizens. Furthermore, they do this with no thought of gainfor themselves.
It ismy view that the best way to show love is to help peoplewho are more unfortunate than we are. We should always be ready to give ahelping hand to those who are in trouble, no matter whether they are familymembers or complete strangers. Only by doing so can we help to make the world abetter place, for, as the picture shows, the darker the shadows of sorrowbecome, the more brightly the lamp of loveshines.
Many people appreciate the conveniences of the city. The city offers a wide choice of jobs for adults and schools for children. It also provides plenty of facilities for culture， entertainment and recreationrestaurants， department， stores， cinemas， and so on. Besides， transportation is usually well developed in the city， with a variety of modes of travel， including buses， trains and subways.
In the country， on the other hand， one can enjoy the advantages of fresh air and food， and a more relaxed life style. Housing is usually spacious and inexpensive in the country. And， as for recreation， what could be more relaxing than a stroll down a country lane amid beautiful scenery? However there are advantages to living in either the city or the country. City air tends to be polluted， and the streets are always crowded and noisy. In the country， on the other hand， the lack of stimulating activities can make a person feel bored and isolated.
All in all， I would say that living in the city is best， for the convenience the city offers in terms of education and work; after all， one can always spend vacations in the countryand get the best of both.？

Whether a man reads history books or mathematical books, reads them in detail or just skims them, if he cares about reading at all, he will appreciating the pleasure of books. Experience tells me that what composes the joys of reading lies in the process of finding a good book, enjoying it, and learning from it.
无论一个人是读历史书还是数学书，细细的读还是快速的浏览。如果他真的关心阅读，他会欣赏书的乐趣。经验告诉我阅读的欢乐在于寻找的过程，享受它并从中学习。
In the first place, you will be feeling excited when you find a good book which is suitable for yourself. Reading is something of a paradox. One thinks that books are always meaningful. Yet the fact is that many of them are useless in some sense. Particularly, pornographic books describe violence, superstition. People who are taken up by such books might be misled and dispirited. Therefore, choosing an appropriate book not only improves your ability to discriminate and leads you to read effectively, but also gives you the fulfillment of knowing a good book.
首先，当你找到一本适合你自己的书时你会很兴奋。阅读是一种驳论。书是很有意义的。但事实上，在某种意义上他们中的许多是无用的。特别是色情暴力、迷信的书。这样的书可能会使人们被误导和意志消沉。因此，选择一本合适的书不仅能提高你的区别能力、引导你有效率的阅读，而且还让你知道一本好书。
Secondly, reading would offer inexhaustible mental nutrition. Good books teach us and help us to do well. They are our real companions. They are both instructive and inspiring. Through reading, the beauties of nature, the miracles of art, the spectacles of architecture, and the marvels of engineering are all opened to our wonder and appreciation. Moreover, it really builds up a full comprehension of love, hatred, happiness and sorrows in our heart. We are able to experience various kinds of lives---what more is there to desire than that?
其次，阅读将提供取之不尽的精神营养。好的书籍教我们、帮助我们做的更好。他们是我们的真正的伴侣。他们都是有益的和鼓舞人心的。通过阅读到大自然的美、艺术的奇迹、建筑的宏伟、和惊人的工程都让我们感到惊奇和感激。此外，它真的'我们的心建立起一个完全理解的爱、恨、开心和痛苦。我们可以体验各种各样的生活————更有什么更渴望的事吗？
Thirdly, it is fruitful for us to learn from the book after reading it. Books are our friends; they take us to all the countries in the world; they tell us stories of all ages; they teach us the truth. With reading, we can learn innumerable things we do not know, be aware of what has happened in the past as well as what is going to happen in the future, and solve the urgent problems that beset us. Gradually, we come to know how to be a real person and how to observe the world.
第三，读完一本书后来学习书中的知识是富有成效的。书是我们的朋友，他们带我们去世界上所有的国家，他们告诉我们所有年龄段的故事，他们教给我们真理。读书，我们可以学到无数我们不知道的事情，知道发在过去的事情以及未来将要发生的事情以及这个困扰着我们急需解决的问题。渐渐地，我们开始了解到如

there is no doubt that gardens evidence an irrepressible urge to create, express, fashion, and beautify and that self-expression is a basic human urge; yet when one looks at the photographs of the gardens created by the homeless, it strikes one that, for all their diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various other fundamental urges, beyond that of decoration and creative expression.

As wecan see from the picture, a football match is going on. On guarding the goal,the man on the left seems to be keeping a “huge goal” that is easy andinevitable for a goal, while the person on the right hesitates to kick the ballwith an illusion about the “huge goalkeeper”。 It isobvious that both of them exaggerate the difficulties in front of them.
Thisphoto does reflect a thought-provoking social phenomenon which is not uncommoninChinanow. Theyoung always give up because the problem is beyond their ability to cope with. Superficially, it seems to be somewhat reasonable, but whenweighing in the mind, we find there is an apparent tendency underlying thisphenomenon: the lack of confidence. Firstly, itis well-known that we exist in a dynamic world with variousdifficulties. We can do nothing but face them.Secondly,attitude is the key point to take the first step. Assumebravery and confidence to solve the problem, you will find the question is notas “huge” as you imagine. Take us for example, the entrance exam for graduatestudents even seems to a horrible monster before us. Some people give up, somepersist. So, with confidence and the right assessment of the difficulties, tryand exert your strength, and then we will overcome all problems.
On thewhole, I believe we young people should face the difficulties inright manner. And nothing is impossible, just do it.
