The Road to Happine
If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common.The most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence.Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family.Artists and authors and men of science get happine in this way if their own work seems good to them.But there are many humbler forms of the same kind of pleasure.Many men who spend their working life in the city devote their weekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens, and when the spring comes, they experience all the joys of having created beauty.The whole subject of happine has, in my opinion,been treated too solemnly.It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion.Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recovery, just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill.But when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic and happy without a theory.It is the simple things that really matter.If a man delights in his wife and children, has succe in work, and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be.If, on the other hand, he finds his wife fateful, his children’s noise unendurable, and the office a nightmare; if in the daytime he longs for night, and at night sighs for the light of day, then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen —a different diet, or more exercise, or what not.Man is an animal, and his happine depends on his physiology more than he likes to think.This is a humble conclusion, but I cannot make myself disbelieve it.Unhappy businemen, I am convinced,would increase their happine more by walking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.

参考例文：
Relationship Between Major and Future Job
It’s a striking fact that there isn’t necesary relationship between one’s major and specific job duties for majority of people.Many people condemn this on outdated education system an some even complain that textbooks are usele.
This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons.First of all , it’s a common sense that there alwasys exists a gap between theory and practice.This gap needs to be bridged by continuous exporation of similarities and differences between these two factors and accordingly corresponding modification.Secondly, due to the rapid development of technology, the knowledge from textbooks becomes behind the times soon .And it will lead to the disaociation between1
what one acquired in college education and what he does at work.
From my point of view, when faced with the disaociation, one should adapt himself to working environment as soon as poible by adjusting his own information system.What’s more important, life-long learing is eential to one’s career succe.Even after one reached the required levels from college education curriculum, pursuit of knowledge should never be ceased.Last but not the least, we should bear this firmly in mind that one’s ability is valued much more than one’s academic degree.
不健康生活习惯
Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short eay on the topic Unhealthy Habits of College Students.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1.部分大学生有不健康的生活习惯，例如：晚睡、过度消费、沉溺游戏。。。。
2.这种不健康生活习惯的危害3.如何纠正
写作思路依然是反复强调的功能段落的写作思路：首段为负面现象描述(即提出问题)，二段为问题分析(危害)，尾段为建议措施。
It can be noticed that there are some unhealthy living habits among young people, especially college students.Typical examples include staying up late, being addicted to games, consuming in an inappropriate way.Thus, due attention should be paid to students’ daily habits.
Apparently, these bad habits may generate negative impacts.To begin with, they may impair students’ physical health and psychological fitne.In addition, what worries many teachers is that they may also exert negative influences on students’ academic performance.To conclude, never can we turn a blind eye to these phenomena.
In view of the seriousne of this iue, it is time that we took effective measure.Firstly, it is suggested that universities or colleges should cultivate students’ awarene of healthy living.Secondly, students themselves are well-advised to learn to regulate and control their own life appropriately.Only by doing so, can we hope to see the ideal scenes in which students enjoy their colorful and healthy life in Ivory Tower.
请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
在人际关系上我们不能太浪漫主义。人是很有趣的，往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他或她的优点。这一点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候，印象很好。吃头两个主菜时，也是赞不绝口，愈吃愈趋于冷静，吃完了这顿筵席，缺点就都找出来了。参考翻译：
We should not be too romantic in the interperonal relations.People are interesting in this way.When they meet a person,what they are see at first is always the good points of his or hers,which is like dining in a restaurant.You will be not only favorably impreed with the first dish or cold dishes,but also profuse in praise of the first two main courses.However,the more you have,the more somber you become until the dinner ends up with all the flaws exposed.

British universities, groaning under the burden of a huge increase in student numbers, are warning that the tradition of a free education is at risk.The universities have threatened to impose an admiion fee on students to plug a gap in revenue if the government does not act to improve their finances and scrap some public spending cutbacks.
The government responded to the universities’ threat by setting up the most fundamental review of higher education for a generation, under a non-party troubleshooter (调停人)，Sir Ron
Dearing.
One in three school-leavers enters higher education, five times the number when the last review took place thirty years ago.
Everyone agrees a system that is feeling the strain after rapid expansion needs a lot more money-but there is little hope of getting it from the taxpayer and not much scope for attracting more finance from busine.
Most colleges believe students should contribute to tuition costs, something that is common elsewhere in the world but would mark a revolutionary change in Britain.Universities want the government to introduce a loan scheme for tuition fees and have suspended their own threatened action for now.They await Dearing’s advice, hoping it will not be too late-some are already reported to be in financial difficulty.
As the century nears its end, the whole concept of what a university should be is under the microscope.Experts ponder how much they can use computers instead of clarooms, talk of the need for lifelong learning and refer to students as “consumers.”
The Confederation (联盟) of British Industry, the key employers’ organization, wants even more expansion in higher education to help fight competition on world markets from booming Asian economies.But the government has doubts about more expansion.The Times newspaper egre, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers soared, with close tutorial supervision giving way to “ma production methods more typical of European universities.”
