Be Generous with Your Help
When it comes to the topic of help, we are frequently told that, \"Help others, and you will behelped when you are in need.\'\' Simple as the saying is, it implies the importance of helpingothers in need.What I learn from the remark, in short words, is that helping others is helpingyourself.Examples can easily be found to make this point clearer.The story of the ant and the dove is acase in point.An ant slipped into the river when drinking along the river.A dove heard his criesfor help and threw him a leaf, which helped the ant float back to the bank.After a few days, ahunter was raising his gun to the dove as she was building her nest.Seeing this, the ant ranquickly to bite the hunter\'s leg.The dove heard the hunter\'s scream and flew away.All in all, this example indicates that when we offer our help to others, we are leaving a wayopen for the future.Helping others is a virtue, and we should take some measures to carryforward this virtue and do others a favor.Only in this way can we build a loving andharmonious society.

Part Ⅰ Writing Whether to Major in Science or Humanities at College? Nowadays, as the whole society place increasingly considerable value on education, thequestion of whether to major in science or humanities at college is not only a concern forstudents, but also a focal point for parents.Some believe that to dig into science is a betterchoice because it promises us a brighter future; others may hold the opposite view thathumanity knowledge is the foundation of humanity quality.As for me, both arguments are justified.However, I believe that the important thing is notabout which subject is better, what matters most is people who will have to make the decision.In other words, we should not lay one-sided emphasis on the advantages of either subject; onthe contrary, the students themselves, their interests and preferences, pros and cons aresupposed to be taken into consideration.For example, if a student is more adept athumanity and that’s where his real interests lie, then he should dedicate to the study onhumanity.Whether to major in science or humanities is a critical choice for every student because itsresult has a profound influence on personal career development and life style.Thus we shouldfigure out what we really care about so as not to put the cart before the horse.

The evolution of modem robot technology seems to be a mixed bleing.Optimists say that more robots will lead to greater productivity and economic growth, while peimists complain that we will experience the greatest unemployment crisis in human history.As for me, the world where robots substitute manual and mental labor is delightful rather than fearful.There is no doubt that human society is benefiting tremendously from robots.On the one hand, industrial robots can aist in carrying out dirty, dull and dangerous tasks while offering increased productivity and safety.On the other hand, domestic robots can provide household services, freeing human beings from the boredom of the daily chores.We aren\'t giving robots \"easy jobs\", but those that most of the time we aren\'t willing to do and even could never do.Without robots, these jobs would remain undone or be done inefficiently.In spite of the potential of machines to replace workers, technological progre has always eliminated some specific jobs.But in the meantime, it also has created new opportunities for human employment, at an even faster rate.Robots are very likely to permeate much of our daily life in the coming years, but it is not neceary to worry they will snatch jobs from us, because we will aign more challenging jobs to them.

如今，旗袍经常出现在世界级的时装秀上。中国女性出席重要社交聚会时，旗袍往往是她们的首选。很多中国新 也会选择旗袍作为结婚礼服。一些有影响的人士甚至建议将旗袍作为中国女性的民族服饰。翻译参考答案 表达难点
1.第一句有两个谓语动词“是一种……”及“源于……”，可将前者处理为英文句子的谓语成分，后者作“服装”的后置定语，形式既可用非谓语动词（originating from）也可用定语从句（that originates from...）。
2.第二句可以处理成一个定语从句，主干是“旗袍是长袍”，“王室女性穿着的”是修饰长袍的定语。用非谓语动词作定语，“旗袍”和“穿”是被动关系，因此用过去分词形式。 3.第三句的“发生变化”可以用 undergo changes 这个搭配。“受西方服饰的影响”可以用分词作状语的结构 influenced by...，也可以处理成 due to the influence of...。 4.第二段都是体现旗袍重要性的一些短句子，如逐一翻译，译文会显得比较松散，可以使用一些结构或词语将它们衔接起来，比如 not only...but also..., moreover, even 等。 参考译文
Qipao is an elegant type of Chinese dre that originates from the Manchu Nationality.In the Qing Dynasty, it was a loose gown worn by females of the royal family.In 1920s，it underwent some changes due to the influence of western dre.Its cuffs became narrower and the length was shortened as well.Such changes allow the beauty of female to be fully displayed.Nowadays Qipao is not only frequently seen on world-cla fashion shows, but also the first-choice dre for Chinese women to attend some important social gatherings.Moreover, many Chinese brides choose it as their wedding gowns.Some influential figures even have suggested making Qipao a national dre for Chinese women.
