1、Unitl：l.What subject do you like best? What made you like it: your personal interests, the teacher; the practical applications of the course in the future, etc.?I like physics best, though many classmates find it hard. A lot of factors led me to like this subject. As early as in high school, I was a

2、mazed at the laws scientists like Newton and Einstein discovered. What they found out changed the world. Luckily, my physics teacher at this university is excellent. He is knowledgeable and patient. Just because of him, Im willing to spend lots of myspare time on this subject. Most importantly, what

3、 I have learned from the physics course will be of great help in landing a good job. Nowadays many companies think physics majors often have a solid academic foundation and can easily adapt themselves to a wide variety of positions.2. Do you think it is necessary?Some parents believe that by doing a

4、 lot of difficult math problems, their children will have a solid foundation in math. Some parents even believe that trying to solve hard math problems will promote the growth of childrens brains and help develop their logical reasoning ability and concentration, which will facilitate learning in ot

5、her areas. On the other hand, many people believe that it is unnecessary and unnatural for children to study difficult math problems. Some people even believe that strict math training harms childrens moral and physical development. Fierce competition may dampen the spirit of teamwork, which is so i

6、mportant in the contemporary world.3. What study habits seem to be common among successful students?Many top students seem to have these good study habits: They tend to have a strong sense of time and organize their time well. They may draw up their study plan well in advance. While studying, they c

7、heck whether they are working ahead of schedule or lagging behind it. They usually work in a systematic way. Before class, they preview the text to get some idea about what the teacher is going to say and which part of the text is difficult. In class, they listen attentively, take notes of the main

8、points of the lecture, and ask questions when they dont understand. After class, they review what they have learned. By going through the text and the notes, they can remember important information.4. How to prevent students cheating in examinations?First, the administrators must adopt severe measur

9、es to punish that disgraceful practice. In the case of serious offenders, it is not enough just to give them an F. They must repeat the whole year; or even be expelled from school. Second, it is more important for teachers to enforce the university rules strictly. When they see students cheating, th

10、ey should not turn a blind eye to it.Unit 2l.According to your experience, what damages are being done to the environment?Given key words such as littering, pollution, and poisonous substances, people may find it easier to remember some of the dangers.LitteringSome people throw away paper, cigarette

11、 butts, empty cans or even batteries in public places or in scenic sites.PollutionWhen households and factories dump sewerage and harmful substances into rivers and lakes, water pollution can be serious. Air pollution may worsen as the economy develops. If the smoke from factory chimneys does not me

12、et environmental standards, it pollutes the air. Also, the increasing number of cars brings further deterioration to the quality of the air. The cigarettes people smoke also contribute to the pollution.Poisonous SubstancesWhen we discard air-conditioners and refrigerators, we release poisonous subst

13、ances like CFCs（氟氯化碳）,which deplete the ozone layer（臭氧层）or create a hole in the ozone layer. When you use aerosol spray on your hair; you are spreading environmentally-damaging freon（氟里昂）as well.2.Can you think of some measures to protect forests?I think the most important thing to do is to create a

14、 law to forbid the cutting of trees in certain areas. Even when timber is needed for construction, logging should be well planned. In addition to the law, we also need law enforcement personnel who will fine those who fell trees illegally. It is not enough to protect the existing forests. We must al

15、so plant trees to make new forests. We should also grow various types of trees to ensure bio-diversity. To make the afforestation program successful, the government should award those units and individuals that have made outstanding contributions.3.If a chemical plant has to dump a poisonous substan

16、ce into the river; but its closing-down means that many workers will lose their jobs and the local economy will be affected, then what would you propose to do?In my opinion, the first step we can take is to introduce advanced ecological technology to make sure that the sewerage from the plant is pro

17、perly treated before it is discharged into the river. Since some company managers are unwilling to spend money treating pollutants, they may dump noxious substances during the night. So it is necessary to set up a watchdog team to supervise the plants sewerage treatment. If the plant fails to meet t

18、he ecological standards, we have no choice but to shut it down. After all, human life is more important than anything else. If the workers lose their jobs because of the close-down, the government can give them subsidies and run training programs so that they can find new jobs in other sectors of th

19、e economy. If the local economy is badly hit by the close-down, the central government can consider subsidizing the local government for a certain period of time until the jobless workers are re-employed.4.Which types of energy should we use: wood, coal, petroleum, water power, nuclear energy or sol

20、ar energy? Give your reasons.In my opinion, we should try our best to avoid using wood and coal as fuel. The burning of wood creates air pollution. Moreover, trees cannot be reproduced easily. It takes dozens of years or even hundreds of years for a young tree to grow into a big tree. Similarly, coa

21、l burning pollutes the air. It would be even more difficult to reproduce coal. The formation of coal takes thousands of years. Nowadays, people use petroleum the most. Cars, ships, aircraft and many factories depend on it. It causes less pollution than coal and wood, but it is also non-renewable. To

22、 leave enough resources for future generations, we need sustainable development. We have to use those fossil fuels less and turn to other types of energy such as water power; nuclear energy and solar energy.Unit 3l.Name some Western and Chinese festivals, and special days that seem to be especially

23、important, and explain why they are important.There are a number of Western festivals, such as Christmas, Boxing Day, Thanksgiving Day, New Years Day, New Years Eve, Halloween, Valentines Day, Mothers Day, and Fathers Day. There are also a number of traditional festivals in China, such as the Spring

24、 Festival （or the Chinese New Year), the Lantern Festival, the Pure Brightness Festival (or Qingming Festival or the Tomb-Visiting Festival), the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double-Ninth Festival (or the Seniors Day), etc. Some Western holidays such as Mothers Day, Fathers Day

25、 and Valentines Day are also becoming popular in China. In the West, Christmas is obviously the most important festival since it involves a long holiday, and almost all the people celebrate it. In fact, it has become quite popular in many non-Western countries. In China the Spring Festival is clearl

26、ythe most important traditional holiday, which lasts three days or more and most Chinese both at home and abroad celebrate it.2 .Do you think it is necessary for the Chinese to celebrate Christmas?I think we Chinese should pay more attention to traditional Chinese festivals such as the Spring Festiv

27、al, the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Observance of those traditional holidays increases cohesion of the entire nation. If those traditional holidays should disappear, it would be a loss to Chinese culture and to world civilization as well. On the other hand, Christmas is a season fo

28、r people to be jolly. It is also an occasion for people to express love and other pleasant feelings. When family members get together for a huge dinner, they have a sense of warmth and closeness. When children receive gifts, they are excited, and their happiness is infectious. As the world has becom

29、e smaller through globalization, Christmas has become more popular in many non-Western countries.3 .Why is Valentines Day more popular in China now compared to it was decades ago?Since love is one of the most fundamental emotions, it certainly deserves a holiday. In fact, love is an eternal theme in

30、 novels, dramas and poems. People need a holiday to express their emotions. When people exchange cards and gifts on Valentines Day, they express their affection for others and feel happy. The holiday seems to be especially important to young men and women. Therefore, young Chinese people have good r

31、eason to celebrate Valentines Day. As China is gradually integrating with the rest of the world, why cant we celebrate Valentines Day? Unfortunately, the traditional Chinese Lovers Day, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, is largely neglected now, despite the interesting story

32、 of the meeting between the legendary Cowherd and Girl Weaver. Why hasnt the tradition been revived and made popular among young people?4.It is sometimes claimed that many festivals have been created just to encourage people to spend money. Do you agree?It is true that business people are seeking ev

33、ery opportunity to promote sales. So, for holidays, they try to sell cards, flowers and gifts. When people are happy preparing for a festival, they are willing to spend money, and businessmen have taken advantage of their generosity. So, in a sense, many holidays have been commercialized, though we

34、have the right not to buy. But on the other hand, festivals endure mainly because they allow us to express our feelings. When Pilgrims wanted to express their gratitude to God for a good harvest, they created Thanksgiving Day. When people wanted to express their affection for their mothers and lover

35、s, they introduced Mothers Day and Valentines Day. Ancient Chinese had great respect for the elderly, and this might have given rise to the Double-Ninth Day.Unit41. What do you think are the things that contribute to a successful marriage?The success of a marriage is due to many factors, of which lo

36、ve is obviously the most important one. Other factors, which are not entirely unrelated to love, include shared values and interests, mutual understanding, commitment, effective communication, similar educational background, equal economic status, physical fitness, etc. With the same values and mora

37、l standards, friends may develop into lifelong partners. After marriage, there needs to be a commitment to one another, and to the well-being and development of the family. Similar educational background and intelligence levels are also considered important by some people. They believe that only wit

38、h mutual appreciation and understanding, can the couple get along easily and happily.2. Why do people get divorced? Can you guess some of the reasons?Sometimes it is because the couple did not really understand each other before the marriage, as love was blind at that time. After marriage, they see

39、each others shortcomings more clearly. Whendisappointment grows beyond control, divorce becomes inevitable. Sometimes it is because one of the couple has changed after the marriage. For example, after the husband is promoted to a leading position, he may have a hectic time all year round, with hardl

40、y any time left to be with his wife. Sometimes one of the couple has lost his or her job and becomes irritable. Due to the continual quarrelling at home, the family breaks up.3. What do you think of the lives of single mothers?Most people look upon single mothers with sympathy. Single mothers have t

41、o support their children on their own. They may find it difficult to provide their children with all the luxuries children of two-parent families enjoy. Worse still, they may be under great psychological pressure. Moreover, their children may develop a sense of inferiority. When they see other child

42、ren are bathed in the love of both parents, they may feel bitterly disappointed.4. What is your view of the fact that the wifes housekeeping duties remain the same even when she works outside? What could be the solution?If the wife works during the day just like the husband, then it is obviously unf

43、air for the wife to shoulder all the housekeeping duties. If the husband can share the household chores with the wife, the love between them can be strengthened. Unfortunately, influenced by tradition, many men are unwilling to do housework, thinking it to be unmanly. If we want to change the situat

44、ion, the media had better give more publicity to model husbands who assume a large part of those duties. Gradually, people may change their image of a husband who constantly sits in front of the TV, watching football games or international news. Also, the development of modern technology and the app

45、earance of more modern conveniences will further lighten the housekeeping burden. Thus the problem of who should do the housework will become less important.Unit 6 Here are tips for finding a job.I. Lead-in1. What do you think people will choose, a low-paid job one likes or a boring but well-paid jo

46、b?2. Do you think ones character is important in finding a job? Why or why not?3. What questions do you think are often asked in an interview? Why are they asked?4. What courses are useful for ones job?Many people prefer to find a job that they really like. After all, most people want to enjoy thems

47、elves rather than have plenty of money without a sense of achievement and happiness. On the other hand, some people may choose a well-paid job instead of a job close to their heart out of financial considerations. If one is in serious financial difficulty, one can hardly afford the luxury of a dream

48、 job.Yes it is. Although many employers lay emphasis on candidates* educational background and work experience, some believe that candidates* character is equally important for a successful career. For example, in contemporary society, many projects require the coordination of a group of people rath

49、er than a single person*s efforts. Therefore, a good team player is often welcome.The interviewer may ask you about your education to see if you have the basic knowledge required for the job you are applying for. Most of them will ask you about your work experience in this field to see if you have the necessary skills for the job you have in mind. They may also ask about your character; weaknesses and strengths to find out what kind of person you are. They may eve
