What else?彼得：这很有道理。还有呢？Molly： With trash separated, pollution caused by incineration can be avoided.莫莉：如果垃圾被分类，就可以避免焚烧带来的污染了。Peter： It is high time for us to sort out the trash. Trash is trash only when everything is mixed together.

It means quietness, privacy , harmony

8、and peace for me.我在乡下住了 10多年了。对我而言，这里意味着安静、私密、和谐和安宁。Living in the country requires an active lifestyle. It involves activities like doing daily chores , preparing firewood for winter heating, feeding animals including pets and livestock , tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For me, the most

9、 attractive activities are fishing, hunting and hiking. I enjoy seeing what nature has to offer every day through a simple walk down a little trail, or a relaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grass ornamented with wildlife sightings of birds, moose, bears, deer; etc.在乡下生活需要积极的生

10、活方式。它包括做日常家务、准备过冬取暖的柴火、喂养 宠物和牲畜、修整花园或加固栅栏等许多事情。对我来说，最吸引人的活动是钓鱼、打猎和 徒步旅行。我享受着大自然每天的恩赐，悠闲地在乡间小道散步，或驱车惬意地行驶在绿意 浓浓的乡间公路上，各种鸟、驼鹿、熊、鹿等动物的身影点缀其中。Living a country life helps us appreciate some of the simpler things, things that make us feel good about ourselves and the world. It may be just a get-together o

11、n a Saturday at the local farmers market,or a project or a problem that the community might pull together to help solve. I have participated in a few community projects, like dealing with out-of-control grass fires, a roof that collapsed from a large snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with fi

12、re wood for the winter. Sometimes I am surprised by how much benefit we receive from helping others and as for this community I cant say enough.乡村生活使我们学会欣赏一些简单的东西，这些东西让我们感受到生活和这个世界 的美好。它或许仅仅是周六当地农贸市场里的一次小聚，或是社区合力解决的一个事情或者 问题。我曾参加过一些社区活动，比如处理失控的草地火灾、修葺被大雪压塌的屋顶，甚至 帮助刚失去丈夫的妇女准备过冬的柴火。有时我会感叹帮助他人会使我们受益良多，

13、而社区 叫我受益的地方更是多得举不胜举了。I really enjoy living a country life. I know its not for everyone, but I know its for me.我真的很享受乡村生活。我知道这不一定适合每个人，但却适合我。答案：TFTTF l.The author has lived in the countryside for more than a decade, and he / she loves living there. 2.Living in the country is not interesting at all.3

15、 and academic quality can mean different things to different people, depending on their perspective , role and context and, in part because of this, quality is notoriously difficult to evaluate.The question of how to do this has been pursued for many years.教育与学术质量，对于不同的人来说含义不同，这取决于各自的角度、职责与环境，也 正是这部

16、分原因，众所周知，质量难以测量。多年来，人们一直在这方面进行着探索。Nevertheless, the goal of improving educational quality is agreed by all and stimulated further by the recent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of the crisis on economic growth and prepare for economic recovery.然而，提高教育质量的目标是大家一致认可的。同时

17、，近来全球经济的下滑，以及抵制 经济危机对经济增长的影响和复苏经济的需求也进一步推动了这个目标。As the World Bank and UNESCO said 10 years ago: The quality of knowledge generated within higher education institutions, and its availability to the wider economy, is becoming increasingly critical to national competitiveness .They also rightly emphasi

18、zed that “A strong research system at the national level opens up the possibility that substantial additional public benefits can be realized through international links.正如世界银行和联合国教科文组织十年前所说的那样：”高等教育机构所产生的有质量 的知识及其在更加广泛经济体内的应用，对于国家竞争力来讲，越来越起到至关重要的作用 他们也恰如其分地强调国家层面的强大的研究系统可以通过国际联系，为大幅增加额外的 公共福利提供可能性。

19、This is precisely why Chinese students and academics should contribute to these global benefits, reforming and improving evaluation systems for educational and academic quality.Original and good research, especially in science, economics and social sciences, has a trickle-down effect on society.And

20、it offers additional benefits even without international links, though international collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring substantial advantages to all partners in relation to lessons learned elsewhere.这正是为什么中国学生和学者应该为了全球的利益做出贡献，同时改革和完善教育和学 术质量的评价体系。原创的优秀的研

21、究成果，尤其在自然科学、经济学和社会学领域，都会 对社会产生涓滴效应。这些研究即便不与国际合作，也会带来诸多益处，但是国际合作以及 最优评价体系的交流和实践会给所有合作伙伴在分享经验教训方面带来巨大的优势。答案：TFFTT1 .Education quality is hard to evaluate.2 .Economic development doesnt have effect on the improvement of educational quality.3 .The quality of knowledge is becoming less critical to nation

22、al competitiveness.4.International collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring substantial advantages.5.According to the passage, we should improve international cooperation on research and evaluation.练习4：詹姆斯非常想要成为一名社会工作者，恰巧.au网站上刊登了一条社工职 位的招聘信息，让我们看看他是怎样写求职信的吧。So
