5月23日 2010.10.9 NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People can take care of their family members better when they live in big cities than in the countryside.

In the contemporary society, an multitude of people increasingly become aware of the fundamentality of their family and they endeavor to take good care of their family members. When it comes to choose places, people's attitudes vary from each other. In my view, I prefer that the metropolis tend to own more advantages over the countryside.

First of all, big cities share much convenience for people to look after their families. As the society have been thriving, a good number of 24-hour stores emerge in corners around the city, those stores absolutely grand residents much more help. For instance, once I caught a severe fever in the midnight and there was no medicine left in my house. Fortunately, since my family lived in the downtown, my dad was able to rush to a 24-hour drugstore to fetch some viable pills. Then, I took some pills and had a good rest. I felt much better the next morning. Oppositely, if my house was located in the countryside at that time, I might have to stand the pain and come to the hospital the next day. So, I really feel that living in the city makes it possible for my parents to attend me better.

Furthermore, the improvement of exercising equipments in the big city help citizens stay good fit. As an old fable goes: the health is just like a glass ball which will be destroyed with a simple drop. Every individual is supposed to pay attention to his or her health. Luckily, living in big cities provides people with a big chance. Thanks to the development of the urbanization, a lot of facilities have been improved. Specifically, some exercising equipments aim at the growth of children, and some help the old strengthen flabby muscles. In this way, people who work in the city can take a better care of their old parents and children.  

Admittedly, I concede that living in the countryside offer people more time to stay together to some degrees. If a person settles his house in the rural area, he as well as his families will share more time to build a firm family connection. However, he may cannot overcome the matter of finance. This person is likely to work in the countryside and he make less money than people who work in the city, thus, he takes a heavy burden to cover his child's educational fees and some extra medical expenditures. Therefore, I support that living in big cities is a better way for people to attend their families.

In a nutshell, we safely arrive the point that preponderances of living in metropolises outweigh those of living in the countryside. And I do belive, only taking on a unban modern life will people together their families gain a brighter future.

The reading and listening debate the policy to offer employees the option of working a four-day workweek for four-fifths pay. The reading points out three benefits which are contradicted by the following lecture.

To begin with, the lecturer reputes the view that the shortened workweek would increase company profits. He explains: since the company  hires more workers, it will have to pay more on the training course and the medical welfare. Besides, the company will need to create more office space plus computers. Ironically, all of these additional costs will higher the company's cost.

Moreover, the author holds the idea that the country will benefit from the reduce in unemployment rate. Conversely, the lecturer challenges this point. According to him, as employees only need to work for 4 days, they are expected to work over time each day to make up the difference. Thus, no extra work（vacant position） will be left, which means the unemployment is still a severe social matter.

Furthermore, the lecturer is questionable about the argument that a four-day workweek is better for individual employees. To illustrate this, the lecturer suggests: since a worker spend less time on working, he would probably decrease his job's ability, which absolutely makes the worker risk losing job. What is more, employees will be under the supervision to be entire week workers.

In a nutshell, the author puts forward with three advantages of the four-day workweek policy, while the lecturer casts doubt on all of these.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Spending money on traveling is better than saving money for future use.



Nowadays, an increasing number of people become aware of the significance of money. When it comes to the topic about how to spend the money, people's opinions vary from each other. Some hold that money should be spent on present issues, while other insist saving wealth for future use. In my view, spending money on traveling is a better way.



First of all, money cost by traveling help people broaden vision and make friends different fields connected. As a byword goes, it is useful to cover a distance than reading books. (这个谚语婷婷自己翻译的，求正确翻译啊。)It cannot be right more that everyone is supposed to deliver a plan of traveling. Take my own experience as an example, I have been interested in traveling since I was a child. I have been to Beijing for several times to feel real charms of both Chinese traditional culture and scenic sightseeings. The great wall made me proud of my ancestor's wise, and Summer Palace just helped me involved in the fascinating views. Additionally, I did meet some individuals who shares the same hobby of traveling as me, including the musician, the college student and the electrical worker, and so on. I really get cultivated during my trips.



Furthermore, spending money on traveling is an efficient method to get released from pressure. Every individual needs to get a leisure time to go around since long period of work easily drives a person to be anxious and weary. Sometimes a busy worker may suddenly lose temper without knowing it himself. And it is possible people would develop some healthy problems without rest. In this way, traveling plays a vital role to make people release their pressure. When walking in a forest or having fun in a amusement park, people could forget all their worries. Then, their brains will be more active and creative to work. So, we safely arrive the point that spending money on traveling is substantially an efficient approach to relax.  



Admittedly, I concede that saving money for a future has some preponderances to some degrees. Specifically, once my gregarious sister Lily had a severe cardiac disease and she should be given an operation which charged her family exorbitantly. Fortunately, her family had kept a rational habit of putting aside some money from the salary monthly. Thus, her family got a great deal of deposits from the bank and ultimately Lily survived this fatal disease. Therefore, we could not ignore the necessarity（necessity） of saving money for future emergency use. However, what we need to realize is that such an emergency cannot happen frequently, and we should not pay much attention on this.



In brief, since spending money enables us to gain more knowledge outside the classroom, obtain many friends and stay away from pressure as well, all we need to is endeavor to earn money and enjoy it at present.

The reading and listenting（listening） have a conflict of opinion on the remains of the actual tissues of the T. rex leg bone. The writer believes that those remains seem to be blood vessels, red blood cells and collagen matrix, while the speaker contradicts this point.


To begin with, the lecturer reputes the view held by the author that small branching channels( 原文是说flexible substance inside the bone channels不是血管，而不是channels不是血管) are blood vessels. According to him, since the animal died for so many years, some bacteria will colonize(改为完成时) these hollows, these branching channels may be some traces left by bacteria instead of blood vessels.


Moreover, the lecturer challenges the idea that the presence of spheres could be red blood cells. To illustrate this, he puts forward with a fact that some primitive animals nearby which had no blood cells when they were alive also contain some reddish materials. Thus, these reddish stuffs cannot be blood cells, and they actually are some reddish minerals.


Last but not least, the author holds that the dinosaur leg bone contains collagen, while the professor diapproves（disapproves） this. He shows a truth that the collagen is not able to exist more than 100,000 years. Therefore, it is implausible that 17-million-year T. rex keeps collagen inside. Additionally, he indicates that the collagen possibly comes from a recent source: human's skin, for example like a researcher who is handling the bone.


To sum up, the writer emphasizes the existence of blood vessels, red blood cells and collagen. Conversely, the speaker undermines the argument above.

The passage and lecture debete the topic on team work. The writer demonstrates some advantages, while the lecturer casts doubt on them by the following speech.

First and foremost, the author holds that a group of people has a wider range of knowledge, expertise and skills, which makes them quickly think up creative solutions. However, the lectuer reputes it. He stresses: since every individual in the group has his own opinions, the group cannot reach a consensus in short time. Thus, the efficiency may not be promised.

Furthermore, the writer holds that a group is more likely to make ricky decision while responsibility is spreaded to everybody in the team. Conversely, the lecturer emphsizes that a team probably is not able to come up with some real creative solutions as they share the contribution with others in the group. So they ususlly tend to rely on each other to devise some ideas.

Moreover, the professor also challenges the point that the individual gets a better chance to be recognized. According to him, when a group reaches a significant settlement, they are rewarded as whole. As nobody's name will be remembered by the manager, they are not recognized as highly significant easily.

To sum up, the writer insists that people benefit from team work, but the professor just thinks that strategy does not contribute at all.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? To improve the quality of university education we should spend more money the salaries of university professors.

With the accelerating tempo of society, residents are increasingly aware of the importance of high education. When it comes to the methods to improve the quality of university education, people's opinions vary from each other. Someone recommend giving a rise to professor's salary, however, I am not for it.

To begin with, rising professor's salary may dispure the incentive of a few individuals. Since the high salary in the educational field is attractive, people will transfer from different areas into this field, consequently the whole quality of university will suffer. What we really require is someone who really regard teaching as his duty. Let me take Confucius as an example. It is conspicuous that Confucius is a great social philosopher and thought in China. He was so selfless a man that he often illustrated his students free of charge and donated his own books. Nowadays, people memorate(commerate) Confucius as a saint because of his pural(pure) teaching motivate. Thus, professor's salary is not supposed to be too high.

Besides, the improvement of the level of professor's salary probably will cause some demanding students drop off from campus. According to a survey conducted by China Employment Fund(CEF), approximate 70% of a professor's salary comes from the student's education fee thought with the governmental investment support other functions such as the repairment of old buildings or establishment of a caferteria (cafeteria). However, what we must admit is that some students' families are still under heavy financial pressure as their parents are underemployment or just get a little wage per week by cooking dishes or do with concrete. Thus, this part of students may face difficulty on handing fee every semester and ultimately suspend or even stop their education.

Admittedly, I concede the salary improvement policy do enhance professor's enthusiasm on teaching to some degrees. If a professor is rewarded for his excellent directing results, he is absolutely willing to be more engaged in his teaching programs. For instance, he may have a talk on the essay with his students regularly and he will make a good preparation before he delivers a speech and students will benefit a lot. Nonetheless, the university could as well create internship programs for its students from which student can obtain some practical experience and own some preponderance in job hunting. As a result, students can accumulate a great deal applicable knowledge in working place. So, we can get to know that internship programs is more favorable.

In a nutshell, since the improvement of professor's salary may dispure the incentive and induce students to drop off from university, I insist that we should not spend more money on this to improve the quality of university education.
