1.On Open Policy
The open policy means that our country is open to investment, trade
and technical and economic cooperation with other countries on the
basis of equality and mutual benefit. The purpose of open policy is to
acquire advanced technology, management skills to serve our socialist
construction so as to promote the realization of the four
modernizations.
We must adhere to the open policy. Because economic relations
between states today have become increasingly close, and no country
can possibly advance behind close doors. Only in this way, can we
gradually close the gap between our country and the developed
countries.
Through the implementation of policy, we can learn advanced
technology and managerial expertise from abroad; make full use of
the foreign capitals to set up great enterprises; absorb useful and
healthy ideas and new knowledge of the modern civilization; and
broaden our views and raise our level of competence.
2. The place of Science and Technology in Modern Life.
Human life can not continue without science and technology. For
many years, human society has developed with the advance of science
and technology while the development of science and technology hasin turn brought the process to mankind. So the life we are living now
is more civilized than that of our fore fathers.
The development of science and technology have brought about
many changes in people's life. For example, the invention of television
and space rocket have opened a new era for mankind. Through the
use of TV people can hear the sound and learn the events happening
thousands of miles away. Owing to the invention of spaceship and
rocket, the dream of man's landing on the moon has now come true.
Science and technology also play an important role in our socialist
construction. We may say, our socialist construction is just like a
skyscraper, while science and technology are its base. Without the
base, the skyscraper can't be built. Therefore, we should try our best
to contribute to the development of science and technology so as to
provide a more solid base to build our country.
3. Importance of Education
China, as a developing country, is determined to catch up with and
even surpass the developed ones. I think that one of the best possible
ways to do so is to give first priority(优先）to the development of
culture, science and especially education.
In modern times, when science and technology are making greatprogress, the education of the work force is of primary importance.
Moreover, many of the success in advanced countries have
demonstrated that a nation 's prosperity mainly depends on the
quality of its labour force, namely those who have been well
educated.
In a developing country such as China, our investment in culture,
education and science, and especially elementary education, must
enjoy top priority. This is crucial(决定性的）for China to catch up
with the developed nations in today's surging( 汹 涌 的 ) waves of
technological revolution. Otherwise, the gap between China and
advanced countries will be widened rather than bridged.
4. Air Pollution
Air pollution is one of the major problems of the modern world. A
great deal of energy is needed to run the factories of modern
industrial nations. Automobile, trains, planes and busses need energy,
too. Nearly all of this energy is produced by burning fuels. The
burning produces wastes, some of which remain in the air, causing air
pollution.
Scientists are finding ways to stop air pollution especially in big
industrial areas and densely-populated cities. They are studying newways of generating electricity that may be less damaging to the
environment. In the meantime, many power plants are being
modernized to give off less polluted material. Also, engineers try to
design and locate new power plants to do minimum damage to the
environment.
However, it may be that we still have a long way to go before we have
a "clean" world. Nearly all of the countries are trying hard to
prevent and control air pollution. There indeed seems to be no end to
tasks that environmentalists will be required to do. People will
continually find new ways to control pollution.
5. Environmental Protection
Today the quality of our natural environment has become an
important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the
world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural
resources and at the same time polluting our environment with
dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot
survive.
Concerned people have made some progress in environmental
protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to
protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental
pollution.Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental
problems. People should be further educated to recognize the
importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control,
to conserve(保存） our natural resources and recycle（再循环） our
products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in
the future.
6. Automobiles
Automobiles, as a product of modern civilization, have been playing a
vital part in the daily activities of human society. Industry needs
automobiles for farming as well as transportation. Every day,
automobiles drive people to and from work. On weekends
automobiles take families for joyful outings. And during holiday
seasons, automobiles fill the highways everywhere, even in remote
areas. It could be said that the wheels of automobiles move society
forward.
But automobiles have also given rise to a series of problems. For
example, cities are overcrowded with automobiles. They create a lot
of noise and traffic accidents which disable（伤残） or kill many
people each year. Worst of all perhaps is the air pollution caused by
the exhaust gases produced by automobiles. Some of the gases are
highly toxic(有毒的） and a serious health hazard.7. Computer
The computer is widely used in all fields of society. Today, wherever
you go, you will find computers being used. For example, computers
are used in universities, large corporations, and small offices, etc. It
has even entered the homes of ordinary people. As it is able to store
and process a large amount of information, the computer bring about
great convenience and high efficiency to people of all walks of life.
Computers can help people in different ways. For example, computer
help scientists in analyzing data and doing complex calculation. For
another example, computers are made use of by engineers in
designing a plane, or a spaceship. Besides, computers may also play a
great role in helping children with their lesson. Whatever you are
doing, you many find computer a useful aid.
However, the computer must be designed and instructed by man.
What is more, it is true that computers can make decisions, but they
need detailed instructions and programs prepared by humans to
operate. Therefore, the computer can never replace the human brain.
8. Travelling
It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see
beautiful sceneries typical of the region. Besides, you can meet andmake friends with people of different colors and races. Finally, you
can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people.
Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of
the faster growing industries in most countries.
The main reason why people travel is, perhaps, for pleasure. For
example, having worked hard throughout the weekdays, people will
find a widened trip to the nearby mountains or beaches a real
relaxation. For another example, spending an annual holiday
travelling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who
do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their
homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally
feel fresh and energetic, ready to work harder.
Travelling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have
read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate
picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing.
Furthermore, if you area careful observer, you can learn much
during your travel about the geography, biology, and history of the
places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always
a lot for you to learn through travelling. The knowledge acquired
from travel, as you will have found in your life, is no less valuable
than that from any influential reference book.9. The World Population Explosion
The human race has experienced a consistent increase in population
since the beginning of its history. Famine and disease have done little
to offset(抵消）this steady increase. Too many people are added
annually to the population of the world. So both the causes of
population increase and the results of having more people are worth
careful study.
Culture evolution is the major factor responsible for population
increase. Early in human development, people invented tools to hunt
animals. Later they built shelters to protect themselves. Step by step,
they made life easier. As a result, fewer died from natural forces, such
as harsh climate and disease.
In the past, when population grew, there was unexplored territory to
inhabit. But now, almost all the habitable land has been explored.
The world's population may reach 8.7 billion in 2033. It is clear that
world population is a serious issue that needs careful attention.
Human beings are unique to solve problems through cultural
evolution.(发展） Facing the world population explosion in the near
future. We must carry out the birth control program in order to save
the mankind and save the world.10. Opening-door Policy is the Only Way to Make China
StrongModern Chinese history leads us to the conclusion that
socialism, not capitalism is best for China. But how a socialist China
should look at capitalism and more importantly, make use of the
better side of capitalism for its own advantage is of vital( 至关）
importance to the country.
As far as our country's economic construction is concerned, taking
advantage of the part of capitalism that is useful to us means we need
to develop foreign trade, introduce advanced technology and better
management, and make use of foreign funds. It also means we can
absorb some of the economic theories, and make use of those
economic policies, methods and measures that comply with(遵循）
the law of mass production and a commodity economy.
By opening our windows wider to the outside world, people can learn
more about other peoples and learn to make sensible judgments.
Absorbing the better part of the cultures of other people to enrich
ourselves is the best way to safeguard our socialist culture. So taking
advantage of capitalism and stepping up economic reforms is the only
way to make China strong. Closing the county to international
exchanges will only keep it weak.11. Choosing an Occupation
Every one faces the problem of choosing an occupation after
graduation from college or university, which plays a vital role in his
life. An appropriate occupation makes a man work with zest(热情）
and vigor, as well as contribute to his country.
To make a wise choice, two important things should be taken into
consideration. One is the interest, the other, the demands of people
and society. Only if the two aspects are connected, can a man show
his talent and ability to the best advantage. If the two conflict, the
former should be under the latter, for the people's interests are more
important than the individual's.
In regard to my choice in the future, I am fond of learning foreign
languages; what is more, with the implementation of the Open-Door
Policy, exchange between home and abroad in economy and culture
has been growing significantly, thus I'm determined to be a qualified
interpreter.
12. The Brain and the Computer
Some recent developments in the computer industry make scientists
predict that the gap between human beings and machines will be
closed about the year 20000.
To understand the significance of this prediction let us compare thehuman brain with existing computers. The brain consumes electrical
energy at the rate of 25 watts and occupies a volume of one tenth of a
cubic foot. The brain houses between 10 billion and 100 billion items
of information. Every brain cell is directly connected to many other
cells. As a result, the cells in which information is stored can
communicate with thousands of other cells.
However, the computer consumes 1000,000 watts of electrical power
and occupies hundreds of cubic feet of space. Its million items of
immediately accessible information. In contrast, the computer
memory is like a cell of pigeonholes, with no thinking capacity and no
connections elsewhere.
In a word, the electronic brains are hopelessly inadequate in
comparison with the human brains.
13. Health and Life
As the saying goes, you don’t know what happiness is until you lose
it’ you don’t know what health is until you are ill. “Health is of vital
importance to life” sounds like a cliche to everyone, but it is
absolutely true.
The negligence of the delicate balance of your body and soul, the
harmful habits such as smoking, excessive drinking and burning
mid-night oil will catch up with you someday. How many big plansare interrupted by bad health! Even a normal life is unimaginable
without the guarantee of health.
How to keep fit is an eternal topic of diversity and controversy.
Regardless of all the different suggestions poured from all kinds of
sources, one should do at least two things for him/herself. First, hold
an active and optimistic attitude toward life and maintain a mental
well-being. Second, live a regular life and keep a balanced diet.
Anyway, a healthy life is within reach when you begin to adjust your
mind and body.
14. Energy Resources
China is rich in various energy resources. Coal and petroleum, for
instance, are two major ones. They are essential in developing the
country's industry, science and technology. China has done a great
deal in the past few decades to raise its output of coal and petroleum.
Three energy resources are being used up rapidly, With the building
of four modernization, new industrial and science projects are
springing up like bamboo shoots after rain. They are all big
consumers of energy resources. Besides there has been considerable
waste in the utilization of these resources.
To avoid an energy crisis in the future, the government must take
certain measures. First, it should let people know the importance ofsaving energy. Second, efforts should be made to develop new energy
resources, such as solar energy, geothermal(地热） energy and so on.
We have reason to be optimistic in this respect.
15. Competition
Competition makes people original and creative. It very necessary to
compete if human society wants to advance. (Even animals compete
for survival.) Without it, we would become lazy and nobody would
rake any responsibility. When three monks live together, there will be
no drinking water. This Chinese proverb vividly describes why
China's productivity was so low before Mr Deng came to power. At
that time, we had the so-called planned economy. There was no
competition at all. So neither farmers nor workers worked hard.
China was on the edge of collapse.
Competition can stimulate people to try their best to do anything. For
example, in 100-meter race, each sportsman runs as quickly as
possible, trying to win the champion. The same things happen in our
society and in our daily life. If a company wants to surpass others, it
must compete with them. It must raise its efficiency. All the
companies doing this will no doubt benefit the whole society and the
whole human race.
Being a student, I must compete with other students in our studies.I must study hard in all the fields so that I can be a useful man when
I enter the society after graduation.
16.Students’ Part-time jobs
There are many advantages for a student to have a part time job. For
instance, it helps him to realize that no success comes from nothing.
It enables him to be independent and builds up his self-confidence.
Therefore, part-time jobs can get the students out of the ivory tower
and give them the opportunity to know more of himself and of his
personal value in society.
As everything has two sides, the disadvantages can’t be ignored.
Part-time jobs cut into students’ study time; some even become so
preoccupied with making money that they ca ‘t focus their attention
on studying. In the end, the students may fall behind or fail in their
studies.
In my opinion, students can choose to take up a job according to their
own situation. The most important thing is for him to keep a good
balance, put his study on top of the list and assign an adequate
amount of time to it.
17.Wealth and Happiness
Everybody wants to get wealth. In today’s material world, makingmoney or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and
capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to
attain greater wealth. With money, they can but nice, large
apartments in nice neighborhood; with money, they can own stately
luxury cars. Wealth seems with money, they can own stately luxury
cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.
In my opinion, people cannot do anything without money, but money
is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your
personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others,
especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do
much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will and
to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs,
you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word, you should have money
spent for more people, only then can money be the source of your
happiness.
18.Ideals
Everyone has his ideals. A businessman wishes to make greater
profit; a farmer expects bumper harvests; a student tries to learn
more and better. And everyone strives, with more or less effort, to
realize his ideal.
One should be sensible about whether his ideal is well founded or not.If it is, one has to plan and work hard for its realization. Effort, skill
and persistence are all necessary. And very often, one has to get help
from others, including advice and support in one form or another.
My ideal is to become a doctor, It is said that the field of medicine is a
well-paid profession, but I take it as a lofty profession entrusted with
saving people’s lives. To realize my ideal I have concentrated on
laboratory work to develop the analytical skills necessary to become
a qualified doctor. I am sure I will realize my ideal if I persevere in
this pursuit.
19.Popular Sports in China
Sports are flourishing in china now. More and more people are
willing to take part in sports of different kinds, such as table-tennis,
football, volleyball, and so on. Every year there are many matches
played on the city, provincial or national level. Sports are no longer
limited to a few professional players.
Early in the morning people may be seen doing exercise. Martial
arts (like Chinese boxing or swordplay) which formerly were
cultivated for self-defense, now have become a form of physical
exercise and are practiced in parks, streets, gardens, or on campuses.
In addition young and old people are also often seen running in order
to build up their bodies.China promotes sports to enhance the physical condition of its
people; she is formulating policies to provide encouragement of this
activity. She awards prizes to the excellent players for the best
records both in china and the world. In the world the Chinese have
become a strong people instead of “the weaklings of East Asia”.
20.Is Failure a Bad Thing?
Failure is what often happens. It is everywhere in our life. Students
may fail in exams, scientists may fail in their research work, and
athletes may fail in competitions.
Although failure happens to everyone, attitudes towards failure are
various. Some people don’t think their failure is a very important
thing at all. So they pay no attention to it. As a result, they will have
the same failure a period later. Some people think themselves are
fools and lose their hearts in everything after they get a failure.
Consequently, they spend their time and energy on useless things and
they may really be fools as they have thought.
Other people are quite different from the two kinds of people
mentioned above. Instead of being distressed and lost, they draw a
lesson from every failure and become more experienced. After hard
work, they will be successful in the end. It is said that failure is the
mother of success. Success will be gained after times of failures solong as we are good at drawing lesson from our failures.
In my opinion, failure is not a bad thing, the really bad thing is
taking a failure as failure or even lose our heart after failure.
21.Modernization of Family Life
With the rapid development of the society, family life is becoming
modernized. Years ago, people considered owing radios, sewing
machines, watches and bicycles as being modernized. But in recent
years, almost all families have TV sets, refrigerators and washing
machines. It is very common to see people ride motorcycles or even
drive private cars and more and more families have telephones,
computers and air-conditioners.
The modernization of family life brings us convenience and comfort.
One may enjoy TV or radio programs, communicate with his friends
through telephone or work with his computer while his washing
machine, refrigerator and air-conditioners are running. And by car
or motorcycle one can quickly reach wherever he wants to go.
In spite of this, these modern facilities also bring us disadvantages.
For example, radiation from TV sets and computers is harmful to our
health; improper driving of cars and motorcycles becomes the major
cause of traffic accidents. The quietness of a family is often disturbed
by a falsedialing or unwelcome phone call. But it is believed thatthese disadvantages will be disposed of with the improvement of
modernization and our life will be more healthy and more
comfortable.
