1．学习：一生的事业（3）
学习之于心智，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长，肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们心智的敏锐，并增长我们的智力。不断的学习像是为我们的前进提供了用之不尽的能量，驱使我们磨砺自身的推理、分析和判断能力。坚持不断地学习是在信息时代中与时俱进的最稳妥的方法，也是在变化无常的时代中求得成功的可靠保证。
一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的惟一场所是种常见的谬论。相反，从生到死，学习应该是一种无终止的历程。由于世界变化日新月异，学习过程听停顿数日，就会使人落后。而更为糟糕的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的动物本能就会复活，削弱我们追求崇高理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，并且扼杀我们完善自身人格的追求。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心智的停滞，甚至更糟，使其僵化。因此，为了保持青春永驻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
2.学习外语的诀窍 (6)
语言到底是用来干什么的呢?一些人认为它是用来操练语法规则和学习一大堆单词的——而且单词越长越好。这个想法是错误的。语言是用来交流思想，进行沟通的。
学习一门语言的方法就是要尽量多说。一位伟人曾经说过，反复操练是非常必要的，你越多地将所学到的东西运用到实际生活中，它们就变得越自然。
学习任何语言都是需要花费很多努力的，但不要放弃。放松点！耐心点儿，从中找到乐趣！学习外语应该是乐趣无穷的。冰冻三尺，非一日之寒。更加努力地学习，更加勤奋地操练，上帝会让你所付出的一切有所回报的，上帝是很公平的。
经常使用词典和语法指南。随身携带一本小英文词典，当你看到一个新词时就去查阅。回想它——然后在心里用它造句。
一有机会就努力用英文来思考。看到某物时，想想它的英文单词；然后把它用到一个句子中去。尽可能多地操练时态。学习一个动词时，要学习它的各种形态。
3.大学课程 (11) 很多年轻人进入大学，却并不清楚自己究竟想要做些什么。看一看学校提供的种类繁多的课程，不难发现，学生选择适合自己的课程的确不是一件易事。如果一个学生上大学是为了得到更广阔的生活视野，他无疑会受益匪浅。然而，学校的气氛常常很让人拘束。我相信，很多学生，特别是那些没有什么特殊爱好的“全能型学生”通过对各种学术研究的探索会收获颇多。学生们应该有更多的时间决定他们真正想要获得学位的学科，那样在以后回首往事时就不会后悔。
当然，问题的另一方面就是如何充分利用大学时光。有些学生在某一特定学科非常优秀，在这三四年中他可能成为该领域的专家，获得头等荣誉学位，然而对其他领域却知之甚少。因此大学课程应该包含更多所有领域的详细知识。一方面，很多专家对自己学科之外的事情一无所知，另一方面，越来越多专业知识过硬的毕业生走向工作岗位，可惜的是，这些知识在工作中却并不实用。
4.手机影响学习吗? (16) 无论你在何地。你都会看见许多人使用手机。如今，世界似乎越来越小了，只要你带上手机出门，不管你在哪儿，都可以找到你。而在大学校园里，手机也成为了一道新的风景。
学生们认为，手机可以让他们非常便利地与外界联系，特别是当他们找工作的时候。所以，他们认为这是个必要的投资。
教育专家分析，手机进入校园是社会进步的体现。手机已轻成为非常先进的科技产物，具有各种吸引人的功能。现在的年轻人喜欢用手机发短信、上网；冲浪、听音乐、甚至拍照。在某种程度上，这反映了大学生越来越融入这个现代社会，而不是待在“象牙塔”里的书呆子。
正如硬币都有两面一样，手机在提供方便的同时，也产生了：一些问题。在教室里，不合时宜地响起的手机铃声不但打断了上课，而且破坏了学习的气氛，因此引来了诸多抱怨。手机使用者自己也同样是受害者。
因此，我们应该更多地想想如何使手机适当地融入我们的生活。
5.校院爱情 (17)
作为一名大学生，校园就是我们的家，是充满温馨和阳光的大家园，在这里我们永远是那么活力四射，朝气蓬勃。但是，别忘了，你也应该注意到有这样一道特殊风景正在悄悄蔓延，那就校园爱情。每当提起这个话题，各种美好的字眼映入我的脑海之中，，甜蜜，幸福，一生一世，所有这一切听起来都如此美妙。
相反，长辈们却总是过于夸大大学里的爱情。他们认为，校园爱情只是在浪费时间和金钱，而且会使他们荒废学业，最终可能会毁掉他们的一生。
而对于我来说，尽管也期待着有个优秀的男孩相伴，一起读书和生活，但这只不过是一个梦罢了。我知道我们还都只是稚气未脱的孩子，缺乏恋爱经验；我们并没有领悟爱情的真谛。爱情对于我们来说，可能只是一种好感，一种受穿着和外表吸引的微妙情愫，并非出于本能。关于对方的性格喜好我们一无所知
我们只是倾心于她美丽的容颜。这样的爱情并不会长久，直到，有一天你终于发现你们再没有任何共同点，于是你们选择起放弃这段感情，并为此黯然落泪。这印证了校园爱情往往只是短暂的梦幻。
我认为．只有真正走向成熟以后，你才具备足够敏锐的眼光去认识别人，最终找到真正适合自己的另一半，然后珍惜你们的感情。
6.远离电子游戏（18）
每天下午，成百上千的年轻人就会涌进网吧，打开游戏控制台，或者坐下来自己一人沉溺于热情的梦幻世界。我说的是电子游戏，像反恐精英、暗黑破坏神、任天堂明星大乱斗或是光环。这些游戏非常有趣、刺激，然而当这种消遣变成沉迷时，我们必须引起注意。 游戏通常都非常刺激、生动，但通常并不能锻炼智力。玩游戏并不能像读书那样学到很多知识，况且花太多时间玩游 戏也会占据我们读书的时间。我们必须记住，首先也是最重 要的一点是，我们还是学生。没有什么应该影响我们正常的学业。
电子游戏对于那些只是观看的孩子也是一个坏影响。许多电子游戏都非常暴力，其目标大部分都是杀死另外的玩家。对于那些必须教会他们暴力是不正当的，必须教会他们成熟处理事情的孩子来说，这并没有传达一个正确的信息。即使我们自己决定坐下来玩一种刺激的电子游戏，也必须确保没有影响到周围年龄更小的人。
7.上网学习(20) 让我们假设有些事你不知道如何去做。在过去如果你决心要学习如何做这些事，可能会给朋友或亲戚打电话，上夜校或到当地图书馆查找。但现在出现了众多网站可以为这些话题，事实上能为你能想到的任何其他事情，提供免费实用的建议。
从某种意义上来说，这些“技能”网站代表了网上学习世界的不断发展。这一传统的最初形式是Usenet(全球网络讨论组织)最先开始使用的FAQs，即常见问答档案。许多FAQs现在仍很流行(传播已久)，它们就某个具体话题对初学者做解释。
但是这些“技能”网站把FAQs的创意做了少许改动，选择主题不一定和某个论坛有关。这些网站采用书面指导的形式 (教学周期)和友好建议的口吻。也许这些网站中最大最有名的就是learn2．com(www．learn2．com)。这个网站提供近千种免费指导，还经常加入新的资料。从ehow．com(www．ehow． com)你可以学到如何进行第一次马拉松训练，如何购买度假别墅，如何用八步法制作电影。
8.学习方式 (21)
很早以前教教育家们就知道人们的学习方式不尽相同。这就是为什么教师要以不同形式为学生提供信息。譬如，除了讲解听的语言外，语言教师还时常会运用书本、图表、录像、磁带、歌曲、辩论以及小组讨论等多种形式为学生提供其他学习体验。这样班上所有学生都可以有机会以最适合自己的方式进行学习。
在过去的大约50年中，专家们对学习者进行了研究，力图弄清人类使用的所有可能的学习方式。他们发现人大致可分为三类：通过视觉获得最佳效果型、通过听觉获得最佳效果型和通过活动、操作或触摸获得最佳效果型。
一些研究还区分出八种不同的学习方式，并且研究者还使用测试手段试图发现不同的群体最适合于哪种学习方式。这些测试表明，虽然大多数人都有一种主要的学习方式，但也可以有效地使用其他学习方式。有些人甚至似乎具备多种学习方式。 知道你属于哪种学习类型的人的好处在于：你能运用最适合自己的学习方式进行学习。
9.志愿者 (23)
每个国家都有许多善良的人们帮助照顾别人。例如，美国的一些高中生和大学生经常花大量时间在医院、孤儿院或老人院做志愿者。他们给患者、孩子和老人读书，或只是看望他们或听他们倾诉问题。其他一些青年志愿者则到病人或老人的家中工作。他们涂刷墙面、打扫卫生或修理房屋、帮助购物和修整草坪。有一个被称作“大哥俱乐部”的组织是专门为那些失去父亲的男孩子而建立的。大学生和其他男性带这些孩子参加篮球赛、外出钓鱼或帮助他们了解那些男孩子通常从父亲那儿学会的事情。
一些城市中有许多俱乐部，男孩和女孩可以去那里玩游戏或学手艺。有些俱乐部还放映电影或组织短途旅行，比如爬山、游览海滩、参观博物馆或其他名胜。大部分俱乐部用很多高中生和大学生作志愿者，因为他们年轻，还记得更年幼的孩子们的问题。志愿者们相信世界上最幸福的人中有一部分就是那些给别人带来快乐的人。
10.飘逸而行 (24) 行路难，然人生在世难免走一遭，惟行迹各异也。有赶路，心急切利，步履匆匆，一心只顾向前，忽略周遭美景，焉知路何处是终途。有如游客者，闲情逸致，悠然自得，时走时停，花开花落，赏云卷云舒，虽屡遭风雨，开怀依旧，心若丝网，滤尽烦忧。
蜗居陋室，门庭冷落，无人问津，沉如止水，斯忧思之源也。然顺其自然，随遇而安，总能聊以慰藉，怡然自得。比环宇之浩渺，人诚若沧海一粟。然纵使苍穹阔于汪洋，尤为博大者人之心掏也。盖人之思绪驰骋万里而无疆。
或费尽周章而得其所欲，然所失者众，至得不偿失矣。
生在世，苦心孤诣，机关算尽为名利者有之；回归自然，飘而行，返璞归真者有之。 1.Learning: a Lifelong Career (3) “As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.”Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us, to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.Learning inceantly is the surest way to keep pace with the warrant of succe in times of uncertainty. Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never ending proce, from the cradle to the grave.With the world changing so fast, to cease learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What’s worse, the animal instinct dormant deep in our sub-conscious will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideas, undermining our determination to sweep away obstacles to our succe and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its foilization.Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.(225ws)
2.Knack for Learning Language (6) “What is language for?”Some people seem to think it's for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words — the longer the words the better.That's wrong.Language is for the exchange of ideas, for communication. The way to learn a language is to practise speaking it as often as poible.A great man once said it is neceary to drill as much as poible, and the more you apply it in real situations, the more natural it will become. Learning any language takes a lot of effort.But don't give up.' Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself.Learning foreign languages should be fun.Rome wasn't built in a day.Work harder and practise more.Your hard work will be rewarded by God one day.God is equal to everyone! Use a dictionary and grammar guide constantly.Keep a small English dictionary with you at all time.When you see a new word, look it up.Think about the word — use it, in your mind, in a sentence. Try to think in English whenever poible.When you see something, think of the English word; then think about ^he word in a sentence.(232ws)
3.University Courses (11) Many young people go to universities without a clear idea of what they are going to do.If one considers the various courses offered, it is not hard to see how difficult it is for a student to select the course most suited to him.If a student goes to a university to acquire a broader perspective of life, he will undoubtedly benefit.Schools often have too restrictive an atmosphere. Most students would, I believe, profit by the exploration of different academic studies, especially the "all rounder" with no particular interest.They should have a longer time to decide in what subject they want to take their degrees, so that later in life, they do not look back and regret. There is, of course, another side to the question of how to make the best use of one's time at university.? Some students, who are good at a particular branch of learning, may spend three or four years becoming a specialist, appearing with a first cla Honors Degree but very little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about.Therefore there will have to be much more detailed information in all fields.On the one hand, a band of specialists ignorant of anything outside their own subject, and on the other hand, an ever increasing number of graduates qualified in subjects for which there is little or no demand in the working world.(238ws)
4.Do Mobiles Distract Study? (16) Wherever you are, you can see many people equipped with mobile phones.It seems that the world becomes smaller nowadays.You could be found wherever you are so long as you take the mobile phone with you.And mobile phones are also becoming a new scene on campus. Students think it is extremely convenient for them to communicate with the outside world by using mobile phones, especially when they are hunting for jobs, so they call it an eential investment. Education experts analyze the entry of phones into campus as an indication of social progre.And mobile phones have been considered advanced their attractive functions.The youth of today send sages, surf on the net, listen to music and even photos by using their mobile phones.To some extent, reflects that college students are more and more involved in this modern society, rather than pedants the "Ivory Tower". As a coin has two sides, the mobile phone, while providing convenience, causes trouble too.In clarooms, the untimely ringing interrupts lectures and destroys the atmosphere of study, so it prompts ma complaints.And the mobile phone users themselves al suffer. Therefore, we need to think more about how to integrate mobile phones properly into our lives.(214ws) 5.Love in College (17) As a college student, campus is our home, a warm and sunny house, you can find the vigor to live and sustain for ever.But do remember there is unusual scenery you should pay great attention to, which is the love on campus.When it comes to this theme, various words rushed into my mind, sweet, happy, love for ever, everything sounds wonderful. However, our elders always exaggerate about love in college.They believe that it is a waste of time and money.It will make students to forget their studies and eventually may even destroy their lives.As for me, although I am looking forward to having an excellent boy to study and live with me, it is just a dream actually.We are still children, do not have enough experience in love; we do not take in the spirit of true love.For us it is just a good feeling, a slight feeling because of well-dreed or handsome appearance, not instinct.How about the personality or her habits, we do not know, we just love because of her beauty.Love depending on this will certainly not go so far, one day, you find you two are unable to share in the same way, you will quit, leaving tears fallen down.It turns out that love on campus is commonly short and dreamful. I think after you become mature enough, then you can use your sharp eyes to recognize people, find who you really suit to , then , take it seriously.(254ws)
6.Step Away From the Video Games（18）
Every afternoon hundreds of thousands of youths flood Internet cafes, switch on a game console, or otherwise sit down to involve themselves in intense fantasy worlds.I'm talking about video games, games like Counter Strike, Diablo.Smash Brothers or Halo.These games can be fun and exciting, but we need to watch out for when this pastime becomes an addiction. Games are often incredibly exciting and dramatic, but they generally aren't very intellectual.We don't learn as much from them as we would simply reading a book, and spending top much time playing them can take away our study time.We need to remember that we are students first and foremost.Nothing should ever get in the way of proper studying. Video games can also be a bad influence on younger children who may watch.Many video games are violent and the object in most of them is to kill the other players.This does not send the right meage to the children who need to be told that violence is not acceptable and need to be taught how to handle situations maturely.Even if we do decide ourselves to sit down and play a violent video game, we need to make sure that it is not influencing the younger people around us.(219ws) 7.On-line Learning(20)
Let us say there is something you don't know how to do.In the past if you were determined to learn, you might have called a friend or a relative, taken a night cla or walked down to the local library for a research term.But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects are actually anything else you can think.
In one sense, these "how-to" sites represent the growing world of on-line learning.? This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQs — Frequently Asked Questions files — that began on Usenet, the Internet's global discuion group.The FAQs, many of which still circulate (go round continuously), took a specific subject and explained it to complete novices.
But "how-to" sites take the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addreing subjects that aren't necearily related to discuion forums.These sites take the style of a written tutorial (teaching period) and a tone of friendly advice.Poibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn2.com (www.daodoc.com).It offers nearly 1,000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently.At ehow.com (www.ehow.com) you can learn how to train for your first marathon, how to buy a vacation home, or how to make a movie in eight steps.[219 words]
8.Learning Style (21)
Educators have known for a long time that people learn in different ways.That is why teachers present information in various forms.For example, as well as explaining a new language, language teachers often provide other learning experiences such as books, charts, videos, audio caettes, songs, debates and group work.In this way, all students in a cla have an opportunity to learn in the way that best suits them.
In the last 50 years or so, researchers have been studying learners in an attempt to identify all the poible.We learning styles that humans use.They have found that we can very roughly divide people into three groups — those who learn best through seeing, those who learn best through listening and those who learn best through moving, doing or touching.
Some research has identified eight distinct learning styles, and researchers have made up tests to find out which of these learning styles best suits different people.These tests show that, although most people have one dominant style of learning, they are also able to use other learning styles effectively.Some people even seem to have many different learning styles.
The advantage of knowing what kind of learner you are is that you can then study in the way that best suits your learning style.[216 words]
9.Volunteers (23)
Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others.For example, some high school and college students in the United Slates often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or homes for the aged.They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them or listen to their problems.Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old.They paint, clean up, or repair houses, do their shopping and mow their lawns.For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers.College students and other men take these boys to basketball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers. Some cities have a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts.Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest.Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happine to others.10.Go Easy and Enjoy Yourself in Harmony (24)
To go on a journey is often worrisome, but so long as one lives he proceeds on his life's journey.Different people go along differently.Some take hasty steps in anxiety.Obseed with reaching the next goal in time, they spare no time for sight-seeing along the way, nor do they have a clear view where their long roads end.Others travel leisurely like tourists.They would take time off now and then for a look at blooming flowers or fallen petals.They would stop to admire clouds gathering and dispersing.Even when they go against the wind or are caught in the rain, they never get annoyed, for worries slip off their minds as if from an open net.
Cramped is one's workplace.Narrow is one's residence and small is the social circle one moves about — such limitedne in space entails lack of variety which is the source of some people's complaint.But a person is always able to find peace and comfort if he takes things as they are.Compared with the vastne of the universe it is only a tiny spot one occupies on earth.However, though larger than the ocean is the sky, even larger is the human mind, for in it imagination would come and go on the wing without limitations.
One may eventually win what he has set his mind to, only to find that he has lost quite a lot.Perhaps what he loses is even better than what he gains.
On one journey of life some people hurry on with a heavy heart in pursuit of fame and wealth while others go easy and enjoy themselves in harmony with nature.[285 words] (九) To Be a Small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish in a Small Pond? 1.在大企业工作的特点； 2.在小企业工作的特点； 3.我的选择。
Just as there are distinct differences between being a small fish in a big pond and a big fish in a small pond, so it is with working as a subordinate in a large enterprise and presiding in a small firm.
With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization such as General Motors, or the Bell Telephone System.You have the opportunities of learning from experienced executives and knowing about the standard working proce.
With the latter, you have greater responsibilities and your decision may bring immediate effect.Normally you are exposed to various experiences and expected to do a great many things without much help or guidance.
Personally I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where my prospect of promotion is good as long as I work hard.To tell the truth, I’d rather become a well-known and important figure within my own small pond.
(十一) The Teacher-Student Relationship 1.好的师生关系有益于学生的发展； 2.不良的师生关系有害于学生的发展； 3.我认为„„
A good teacher-student relationship is able to effectively further the student to a higher level in study.The teacher with patience and understanding encourages the student instead of pushing or forcing him.The relationship of this sort makes learning so enjoyable and funny that the student would work hard willingly.
However, a bad relationship seriously weakens the achievement of teaching.It discourages the student from learning, leaving him with a wrong and negative attitude towards studying.Thus, teaching also becomes an unpleasant task, which forms a vicious cycle.
As I see it, the relationship between a teacher and a student should be attached much importance to.A good relationship makes the teacher’s job worthwhile while a bad one ill-affects the student’s development, even to the rest of his life.
