第一篇

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 successful or

not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Moreover,

if one wants to

make

new

advances,

it

is

necessary

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,

unless

it

is

applied

to

real

experiences,

book

knowledge

remains

theoretical

and,

in

the

end,

is

useless.

That

is

why

I

believe

that

knowledge

gained

from practical

experience

is more

important

than

that

acquired

from

books.

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

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。

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 the 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 possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them

become dissatisfied 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

every-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.

参考译文：

电视和电影的影响

电视和 电影无疑会影响人们的行为举止。

此外，

人们似乎在花越来越多 的时间去观看一

些视觉娱乐节目，无论是电视、录像带，或是

D VD

。因此，视觉每体的影响是不容忽视的。

这些每体所造成的最明显的影响是，

人们在观看之后会被诱使去购买 某些产品。

现在电

视广告非常普遍，

即 使是电影院，

也允许播放广告。

另外一个电视及电影会影响人们 的方式

是，

它们能使人们对世界有更广阔的见解或是扭曲的看法 ，

而这取决于人们所观看的是什么

样的节目。

< br>凡是观看新闻性及教育性节目的人可以学习许多新事物，

而主要观看娱乐节目的< /p>

观众可能就会认为，

世界上大多数的人都很有钱，

而且长得都很好看，

这可能会使他们对自

己的生活感到 不满意。

最后，

儿童可能是最容易受影响的观众。

他们可能无法分辨真实与虚

构，而且可能会试着模仿在电视或电影中所看到的 行为。

由于视觉娱乐越来越普遍，

所以社会 大众必须注意其可能造成的影响。

尽管电视及电影

兼具娱乐性和 知识性，但还是无法取代实际的经验。

第三篇

Living Longer

In the past it was not uncommon for a man to die at forty, having lived a full life. But

now we consider a lifespan of forty years to be very short. It is not unusual for people to

live into their eighties and ninet

ies, and some even reach 100. What’s more, people are

living long, healthy lives and are active well into their “golden years”.

Mankind

’

s longevity is due mainly to advances in science and technology. Medical

breakthroughs

have

eradicated

many

fatal

diseases

that

were

once

common.

Perhaps

more

importantly,

better

general

health

means

that

people

are

less

likely

to

contract

infections

in

the

first

place.

Better

health

also

helps

people

prevent

slowly

debilitating

conditions,

such

as

heart

disease,

which

can

take

their

lives

at

an

early

age.

And

as

civilization has advanced, our living environment and sources of food have become more

sanitary. Furthermore, work is now safer and not as taxing on the human body. We do not

wear out after just a few years of very hard work.

There are many reasons why people are now living longer than ever before. But what is

more important is that they are living better as they live longer. It is my opinion that we

have scientific and technological development to thank for this progress.

参考译文：

活得更久

以前的人活到

40

岁就过完一生而死亡是很平常的。但是现在，我们认为

40

岁的寿命

很短。人们活到八十几岁、九十几岁，有些甚至到

100

岁，是很平常的。而且，人们还能

活得久而且又健康，精力充沛地迈入他们的“黄金时代”

（退休期）

< br>。

人类会长寿主要是因为科学及科技 的进步。

医学上的重大突破已经根除了以前十分普遍

的致命疾病 。

而更重要的也许是，

大众健康的改善首先意味着人们不大可能 得传染病。

人们

变得更健康也有助于预防罹患一些会使身体状况 日益衰弱的疾病，

例如心脏病。

这些疾病常

会夺走年轻的生命。又因为文明的进步，我们的生活环境以及食物来源已经变得比较卫生。

< br>此外，

现在的工作比较安全，

且对人体而言没有那么繁重 。

我们不会因为只辛苦工作几年就

变得疲惫不堪。

现代人比以前长寿的原因有很多，但更重要的是，人们活得更 久，

而且也活得更好。我

的看法是，我们进提那的进步得益于科 学和科技的发展。

第四篇

The Media and Famous People

In almost every form of media, including television, newspapers and magazines, a

great deal of attention is paid to the personal lives of celebrities. It seems that the public

cannot

get

enough

of

this

kind

of

news.

However,

I

believe

that

the

media

have

a

responsibility to present a balanced view of the world, as well as respect the lives of public

figures. Therefore, I believe that the media pay too much attention to the personal lives of

famous people.

For people who are fascinated with the lives of public figures there are some forms of

media

devoted

exclusively

to

this

topic.

They

can

satisfy

their

curiosityby

buying

fan

magazines and watching TV shows devoted to entertainment news. The general media

should

present

all

types

of

information

because

people

have

different

interests.

Furthermore, the practice of dwelling on the private lives of celebrities can lead people to

pay more attention to these matters than they otherwise would. Perhaps most importantly,

the media should

respect the

privacy of every individual, including

public figures. They

may have chosen to be in the public eye, but that does not give the public the right to

know everything about them. Moreover, many stories about celebrities are untrue; they

are only gossip reported to increase sales of magazines and other media. They are unfair

to the famous and mislead the public.

For all of these reasons, I believe that the media should pay more attention to matters

other

than

the

private

lives

of

public

figures.

In

this

way,

they

can

appeal

to

a

wider

audience

and

encourage

people

to

develop

other

interests.

In

my

opinion,

the

media

currently pay too much attention to the private lives of public figures.

参考译文：

媒体与名人

几乎每 一种媒体，包括电视、报纸和杂志，都把许多焦点放在名人的私生活上。一般大

众似乎对 这种新闻一直很感兴趣。然而，我认为媒体有责任以公正无偏袒的观点报导时事，

以及尊 重公众人物的生活。因此，我认为媒体的确过度关注名人的私生活。

因为有些人对于公众人物的私生活十分着迷，

所以有些媒体就专做这 个主题。

通过购买

针对歌迷或影迷所发行的杂志和观看电视节目 的娱乐新闻，

就能满足这些歌迷和影迷的好奇

心。一般媒体应该 提供所有类型的资讯，

因为人们的兴趣各不相同。此外，

老是强 调名人的

私生活，会使人们比平常更注意这些事情。或许最重要的是，

< br>媒体应该尊重个人的隐私，包

括公众人物的隐私。

他们可 能选择公开露面或上传播媒体，

但那并不表示大众有权知道他们

的一切。

此外，

许多关于名人的报导并不真实；

那些报导只不过是被用来增加杂志销售量以

及其他媒体业绩的八卦传闻。那些不 实的报导不仅对名人不公平，也会误导大众。

基于这 些理由，

我认为媒体应该多注意公众人物私生活以外的事情。

如 此一来，

媒体就

能吸引更广大的受众群，

并且鼓励人们培养其他的兴趣。

依我之见，

目前的媒体的确过 度关

注公众人物及他们的私生活。

第五篇

Human Activity and the Earth

There

is

no

doubt

that

human

activity

has

an

effect

on

the

planet.

We

see

the

evidence of mankind’s endeavors all around us. While some of man’s accomplishments,

such as the building of transportation systems and the consistent supply of potable water,

have

made

Earth

a

better

place

for

people

to

live,

they

have

not

come

without

cost.

Overall, it seems that human activity harms the Earth more than it benefits it.

For example, the transportation systems that benefit mankind

also

create

pollution

and use up valuable energy resources. While we cannot do without transportation these

days, we cannot ignore the fact that it has an adverse effect on the planet. Furthermore,

those

advances

that

benefit

people

do

not

benefit

al

the

life

on

Earth.

Deforestation

endangers many animals, and mankind’s great thirst for water and other resources leads

to the extinction of many plant forms. In addition, accomplishments such as the supply of

potable water to a community are only response to problems that mankind created in the

past. It was man that made the water unfit to drink in the first place. Finally, the damage

that human activity causes will eventually have a negative effect on people. They will also

suffer the effects of pollution and diminishing natural resources.

In conclusion, it seems apparent that

man’s activity benefits primarily himself, not the

Earth. Moreover, those benefits are only short-term advantages, and man will also suffer

the negative effects of his activity in the future. The Earth does not have an inexhaustible

supply of resources, so every effort should be made to conserve resources and limit the

impact of human activity on the planet.

参考译文：

人类活动与地球

人类活 动无疑会对地球造成影响。

我们周围随处可见人类活动的迹象。

虽然人类某些成

就，

如运输系统的建立以及饮用水持续的供应等 ，

使得地球成为一个更适合的人类居住的地

方，但这些成就的取 得也付出了代价。总体上，对地球而言，人类的活动似乎弊多于利。

例如，

运输系统对人类有利，却会制造污染，

并用尽珍贵的能源。

现在我们虽然不能没

有运输工具，

却也不能忽视运输工具对地球有不良影响的事实。

此外，

使人类获益的这些进

步不一定能使地球上所有生物都获益。

< br>砍伐森林危及许多动物，

而人类对水和其他资源的需

求极 大，因而导致许多植物绝种。再者，

像供应社区饮水的这类成就，

就只是人类在为过去

所制造的问题做出回应而已。

是人类自己 首先使水变得不适合饮用的。

最后，

人类活动所导

致的损害终究会对人类本身产生负面的影响。

污染及日益减少的天然资源所造 成的影响也会

使人类受害。

总之，

人类的活动显然主要仅对人类自己有利，但却对地球不利。

而且 ，

那些益处是短

暂的，

将来人类还是会 因自己的行为所造成的负面影响而受害。

地球上的资源并不是取之不

尽、用之不竭的，所以我们应该尽全力保存资源，限制人类活动对地球的冲击。
