Paying little attention to older parents can have serious consequences. First, the elderly often feel lonely and depressed if there is no child with whom they can talk, and this can have a bad effect on their mental health. Second, the aged parents with no children by their sides can have a lot of trouble in their daily life due to disease or old age.
In my opinion, we should take the following measures. Children should be encouraged to live with or near their old parents, which is very helpful for them to know their parents, concern and attend their daily life. And it is also necessary for them to create chances to communicate with their aged parents. Besides, our govemmeiit should strive to establish the service system for the elderly and expand its social insurance coverage among them.

Nowadays more and more parents are eager to send their children to study abroad before they finish high school by whatever means and at whatever cost.It is quite understandable for parents to send their children to study overseas because they place high expectations on their children. They are encouraged by the success stories of those who have completed their overseas study.
With the development of economy, companies and institutions at home are giving more and more emphasis on overseas experiences, too. Consequently, pursuing overseas study became a kind of short cut in gaining a better future. Moreover, there is still one underlying reason for this rush-economic reason. The rapid economic progress in the past few years in China has enabled more and more parents to afford the huge cost for their children’s overseas study.As for me, overseas study is surely a helpful way to get both advanced knowledge and necessary experiences, but overseas study at an early age is neither necessary nor benef1cial. The students may be too young to either tend for themselves or think for themselves. I do think that overseas study can contribute to one’s self-improvement, but it’s better to be pursued after one has finished his college study at home, when he is more capable of learning and living on his own.

With the development of national economy, a worrying social problem also arises——people can trust each other less and less, especially strangers.
This phenomenon will bring many unfavorable consequences. First and foremost, peoples life will lose a lot of fun since they become cautious all the time. What makes matters worse, the general expense of doing things rises abruptly as a result of the fact that people dont want to help strangers. FinaUy, if this matter is not properly settled, it will pose a threat to national education.
It is high time that we called on the efforts from all sides to deal with this problem properly. For one thing, the government should make all efforts to create a harmonious social atmosphere. For another, teachers should seize every chance to stimulate affection and unselfishness in the hearts of the students. FinaUy, the mass media should also play a positive role in restoring mutual trust.
No matter whether this problem is a natural result of social development, it is important that we find a satisfactory solution to it in this social transformation era. (181 words)
随着国民经济的发展，一个令人担忧的问题也同时产生了:人们对彼此的信任越来越少，尤其是对陌生人。
这一现象会带来许多不好的结果。首先，人们的生活会缺失掉许多乐趣，因为他们变得一直很谨慎。更糟糕的是，由于人们不想帮助陌生人，做事的总体成本突然地上升了。最后，如果这一问题得不到合理解决，会对国民教育造成危害。
我们早就应该号召四面八方的努力，来正确地解决这一问题。一方面，政府应该通过各方努力来创造一种和谐的社会氛围。另一方面，老师们应抓住每个机会来激发学生心中的感情和慷慨。最后，大众媒体也应该在恢复相互间的信任上发挥积极的作用。
不管这一问题是否是社会发展的必然结果，在这个社会转型的时代，我们找到一个满意的解决方法很重要。

According to a recent survey, in the last few years, quite a number of young people have chosen to quit their demanding but highly-paid jobs. Although they may have their own respective reasons, I dont think their decisions are wise in reality.
根据最近的一份调查，在最近这些年里，许多年轻人选择了辞退他们需要花很多心血但是薪水很高的工作。虽然他们可能有各自的原因，但是我认为他们的决定其实是不明智的。
Its true the case is not unique. Some people choose to do something less competitive so that they can lead a comfortable, easy life that a highly-paid job cannot obtain. They are afraid that the stresses and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally. In fact, however, stress isnt the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give significance to an idle life. People under stress are likely to express their full range of potential and to realize goal of a human life.
这种现象真的不罕见。有些人选择去做一些竞争小一点儿的事情，这样他们就能生活得舒适、轻松，而高薪工作者是不会得到这种生活的`。他们害怕工作的压力和束缚会把他们的快乐和幸福抢去了，而且在身心上都会对他们造成危害。然而，事实上有压力不是人们常常认为的那样是件坏事。一定量的压力对于提供动力和挑战来说至关重要，而且能给闲散的生活带来意义。压力之下的人们有可能会充分发挥他们的潜力，并且实现人生的目标。
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to learn to deal with it rather than to escape from it.
压力是日常生活中很自然的一部分，无法避免。我们能做的就是学习处理压力，而不是逃避它。

The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Why? Admittedly, in the contemporay society, an increasing number of people, with the help of translation apps, find it convenient to read foreign literature or essays.
On the one hand, these apps can bring users greater efficiency and help them save more time or energy, particularly for those who have no knowledge of a foreign language. For instance, a host of people may have a variety of difficulties or troubles in learning English, but with the assistance of these apps, it will not be difficult for them to read and understand English materials. On the other hand, it is these apps that cuase some learners to lose motivation for studying. With Apps in hand, they are not willing to do their utmost to memorize new words, pratice speaking or writing skills every day. Fianlly, they will fail to get a good command of any foreign language.
I, as a college student, deem that it is of great necessity for youngsters to use translations apps in a rational way. We should bear in mind that any translation app is merely a tool. Provided that one intends to master a foreign language, it is advisabel to practice each day instead of relying on translation apps.

Its no doubt that university campuses will produce a large amount of rubbish every day, however, there are fewer college students paying attention to its classification.
毫无疑问，大学校园里每天都会制造大量垃圾，但是，注意垃圾分类的大学生很少。
Factually waste separation is vital to create an environment-friendly campus. Firstly, waste separation does great contribution to the environmental protection. Since some of waste is recyclable, while other is unrecyclable, if all the students could voluntarily differentiate recyclable rubbish from unrecyclable rubbish, the risk of the environmental pollution will be greatly reduced. Secondly, waste separation could save a lot of energy and tirne on its processing.
其实垃圾分类对创造环保型的校园来说至关重要。首先，垃圾分类对保护环境贡献很大。由于一些垃圾是可循环利用的，而另外一些是不可循环利用的，如果所有学生都能自主地把可循环利用的垃圾和不可循环利用的垃圾区别开来，对环境造成污染的风险会大大降低。其次，垃圾分类能使人们在处理垃圾过程中节省大量的时间和精力。
With the rapid increase in the amount of rubbish at the campus, rubbish classmification does not permit of any delay. On the one hand, as the well-educated people, college students should act as hosts of the universities and separate waste from this moment in their daily life. On the other hand, university authorities should strengthen students awareness of environmental protection and guide students to separate waste in a reasonable way.
随着校园垃圾数量的快速增加，垃圾分类刻不容缓。一方面，作为受过良好教育的人，大学生应该以大学主人自居，从现在起，在日常生活中就把垃圾进行分类。另一方面，大学校方应该加强学生的环保意识，引导学生用正确的方式对垃圾进行分类。

In the past, a great many people used to use disposable plastic bags for shopping and other purposes. However, the excessive use of disposable plastic bags has led to great damages both to environment and to peoples health.
过去，许多人在购物或其他时候常常使用一次性塑料袋。然而，过度使用一次性塑料袋已对环境和人们的健康造成了巨大的危害。
On the one hand, it takes about 200 years for a buried plastic bag to decompose and be absorbed by the soil. On the other hand, the use of disposable plastic bags will indirectly do harm to peoples health, which is less known to the public. Sometimes people buy hot food packed into disposable plastic bags to save the time and labor in washing their dining utensils. Yet they are not informed of the chemicals in the bags will release in high temperature. Therefore, they are eating the poisonous stuff while enjoying the tasty food.
一方面，只埋在地里的塑料袋需要两百年时间才能降解，被土壤吸收。另一方面，一次性塑料袋会间接对人体健康造成损害，大家对这一点知之甚少。有时人们为了省时省事，不用清洗餐具，就将买来的热腾腾的食物装进一次性塑料袋里。而他们并不知道袋中的化学物品在高温下会释放出来。因此，在享受美食时，他们吃的其实是有毒物品。
Its enlightening and significant that our government has banned the free provision of disposable plastic bags in supermarkets. Trial practice has shown considerable reduction in the consumption of bags. In a word, fewer plastic bags will bring us the sustainable development of our earth.
我国政府己禁止超市免费提供一次性塑料袋。试行的政策已表明塑料袋的消费有了大幅度的减少。总之，少用塑料袋可让我们的地球保持可持续发展。

Nationwide Shortage of Power Supply
According to experts, China is facing a more severe power shortage at present than it did in the second half of the year 2006. In fact, a good number of provincial areas have already imposed power brownouts in the past few months.
There is no doubt that accelerating development of power-intensive industrial sectors, the growing pace of urbanization and low energy efficiency should be blamed for the extensive shortage of power supply. Besides, the situation is worsened by slow power construction and inadequate overall power generation.
In order to ease the current power shortage, a package of measures should be introduced as soon as possible. Firstly, a nationwide campaign should be launched to educate the public about methods to improve efficiency of energy consumption. Secondly, great efforts should be made to curb wasteful duplications and cut irrational demand in some industries. Thirdly, construction of energy and transport projects should be accelerated to expand power supply. Lastly, it is necessary to optimize energy structure and establish a diversified energy consumption pattern. Only in this way can China’s power shortage ease and finally disappear in the near future.

Media and Shopping
With numerous technological advances, various kinds of media have been well developed. As a result, an increasing number of people are fond of purchasing goods with the help of media, such as newspapers, radio stations, TV stations and the Internet.
As we know, every coin has two sides and shopping via media is no exception. On the one hand, it saves much time, money and effort to purchase goods through media since you don’t have to go to the shops in person. Besides, you can choose what you want from an enormous variety of goods on display. On the other hand, you may be cheated sometimes by the false information and suffer a considerable loss.
As far as I am concerned, shopping via media brings great benefits to our life and our economy on the whole. At the same time, we need strengthened supervision over the information released via media. In this way, we can reap more benefits from shopping via media and reduce the possible harm to a minimum.

What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. First and foremost, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field. Furthermore, I was attracted by his lively wit. I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helpedyou learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic of Academic Plagiarism following the outline given below in Chinese. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
1.学术抄袭现象日趋严重;
2.分析学术抄袭现象产生的原因;
3.探讨学术抄袭现象带来的问题。
Nowadays, the problem of academic plagiarism becomes more and more serious. In order to earn academic titles, some teachers plagiarize others academic papers; in order to graduate smoothly, some college students plagiarize others graduation papers. Everything has its reasons; academic plagiarism is no exception.
First, college authorities put too much emphasis on papers while conferring academic titles and graduating students. Second, modern technology makes it unprecedentedly easy to get information and materials. Some plagiarists who are morally corrupt cant resist the temptation and decide to take risks. Third, the system of censorship and penalty are far from being strict, encouraging plagiarism to some extent.
Plagiarism causes many bad results. On the one hand, plagiarism infringes original writers right and it is unfair for teachers and students who dont plagiarize. On the other hand, plagiarism may spread negative thoughts which in the end will ruin colleges fame. Therefore, I suggest college authorities should not regard papers as the only criterion for evaluating teachers and students. Besides, much stricter system of censorship and penalty should be applied.

1.近年来网络语言在青少年中很流行
2.人们对这一现象看法不同
3.我的看法
Internet slang such as LOL (laughing out loud) and ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing) enjoys great popularity among teenagers nowadays. In fact, it becomes so popular that many terms now cross from computer-mediated communication to face-to-face communication. Some teenagers even use them in essay writing.
People have different opinions towards this phenomenon. Some people say that it will help enrich the language system and make language diverse. But others disagree, saying that these new words, being abbreviations for existing, long-used phrases, dont "enrich" anything; they just shorten it and their total effect on language will be trivial.
In my opinion, Internet slang has little effect on language in general, but will greatly influence individuals, especially teenagers language development. The reason is that overuse of Internet slang will lead to the lack of proper punctuations and grammar and has numerous misspellings in writing. That will drastically reduce chances of employment when students graduate and seek jobs. So, for the sake of their future, teenagers had better refrain from Internet slang.

Online open courses are gaining popularity in recent years. Following globally famous universities like Yale and Harvard, some universities in China have also started to offer online open courses. Those courses have attracted people from all classes with different occupations.
The courses have brought many benefits to people. Many of the courses are provided by universities in foreign countries, and thus offer fresh ideas to us. Through them, we can keep up with what people are thinking all over the world. But that can also be a problem. Some of the courses may not be very suitable for Chinese students because of cultural differences and may cause chaos on Chinese campus.
In my opinion, online open course is useful and we should make use of it to broaden our horizons. But we should also remember to have our own thinking and not be brainwashed by improper ideas.
