It is only the third day of the new term and the sunsight is so beautiful. But today I was late. I didn't get up on time as planned. So I had to say "Sorry" to my fellow students. To my joy, they didn't scold me.

      I'm wondering if it is because l went to bed too late last night or I slept too much in the summer vacation that I didn't hear my alarm clock ringing this morning. One thing is quite sure at least, to be honest, l was late for my class.

      As the saying goes: One who doesn't know how to rest doesn't know how to work well, maybe I have to go to bed earlier from tonight on.

        Nowadays most office workers rely largely on computers.

        There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is free from a lot of daily work, such as retyping letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager's point of view, secretarial time is better used and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.

        But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial workcan be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (VDU，显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England want to buy them.

        Whatever the arguments for and against word processors, they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice.

　　这几天都在断断续续地下大雨，甚至暴雨，哪里都不能去，就连运动都无法进行，所以心情坏透了。然而昨天对我来说更是雪上加霜了：一直盼望着快快长大的浩浩竟然发高烧（３９.５度）。还在上着班，妻子就一遍又一遍地打电话来催：快点回来了，浩浩发烧，得送他去医院！

　　刚踏进家门，妻子已经等不及了，但看她东找西翻的样子，我就知道浩浩的病历本又不见了。老妈也心急得忘记做饭菜了，浩浩呢，一改往日的活蹦乱跳，安静得让人心慌。

　　望着屋外的倾盆大雨，想想发烧的浩浩，大家都不知所措，尤其妻子，把所有的抽屉都翻遍了，就是找不到病历本，因此大吼大叫地乱发脾气。

　　我决定等雨小一点再出发，便亲自下厨一展身手。说来惭愧，我好久没有做饭菜了。虽然我自信自己做的饭菜美味可口，但是大家都担心浩浩的病，所以都是草率地胡乱填饱肚子。

　　顾不上睡午觉，也顾不上下雨（这时候雨是小了许多），送浩浩去医院看医生。医生说得打点滴，我们无话，因为我们什么都不懂，打就打吧。可是，医院里的护士太狠毒了，竟然把针插到小浩浩的头上！

　　傍晚的时候，雨停了，浩浩的烧也退下去了。一切顺利。

　　今天，浩浩又像往常一样调皮了，桌子，沙发，床是他练习爬上爬下的道具；咿咿呀呀是他学说话的声音；喷饭是他的一贯“伎俩”。只有一点是我们不满意的，那就是他明明能自己从地上站起来，而且站的很稳很久，可他就是不敢走路。

　　今晚的夜色很美，而且我们两个人都不用上班，何不趁此机会带浩浩去文化广场玩玩呢？说干咱就干，带上雨具（还是防着一点好）出发了。

　　广场上人比以往多了许多，有看音乐喷泉的，有学滑旱冰的，有学跳交谊舞的，还有更多的就是带着小孩出来玩的。浩浩见到这么多人，别提有多高兴了，即使他不能用语言完整地表达出来，我们也能够感觉到。

　　宽敞的广场对浩浩练习走路真是再好不过了，所以我们轮流着一遍又一遍地教他迈步。轻轻地牵着浩浩的手，看着他渐渐走稳的小步伐，谁说这不是一中享受呢？

　　也许是看见别的小孩子不用大人牵手就自由自在地走路的惬意样子，浩浩心里痒痒的，抓着我们的手也松了许多，最后干脆不让我们牵着，而是自己走路。刚开始的时候，他只走了四五步就要跌倒，慢慢地，他可以走七八步，十来步，甚至二十步了。

　　成功了，浩浩，你终于变得勇敢起来了，能够自己走路了！

　　加油哦，我的小浩浩！

If we only bought things we needed, there would be enough for everybody. What do we need? What you need depends on how old you are and your way of life.

If we don’t need to buy so much, we don’t need to work so much. We can take part-time jobs or reduce our working day from 8 hours to 6 hours. Then we can have more time to be with our families and friends.

Too much work has been making people tired and stressed. Getting less is a good way of reducing pressures, and even makes you more efficient. If people work less, and want less, society will get more balanced, and people will have easier lives too.

Some people are leaving very well-paid jobs to live a healthier life in the countryside. This is called “downshifting”. Parents can spend more time with their children and the unemployed are given more opportunity to work.

In my opinion, it is quite all right if we have enough food to keep us from hunger and enough clothes to keep us warm.

　　从“红包有理论”到“医生弱势论”，看惯了医生群体为自身利益辩护的新闻，可辩护归辩护，但大多都承认了这样一个基本现实：不断上涨的医疗费用确实让国人不堪重负，中国人看病确实偏贵——可如今竟有人连这都不承认了，广州市政协委员、卫生局副局长曾其毅近日接受媒体采访时称：“走遍全世界，中国看病最不贵”。他认为看病贵感觉主要源于价值观问题，看个感冒花100多元钱就觉得贵，是对生命和医疗技术的不尊重。修一个人一百多觉得贵，喝次茶花上百、换个汽车零件要几千却没人觉得贵。(《新快报》2月19日)

　　拿“看病”类比“换汽车零件”，将“修”人与修汽车比，这个比较确实很新奇，但却非常蹩脚，纯粹是一种偷换概念的诡辩。一方面，两者并没有多大的可比性。也学着曾委员做个类比，农民“修”地球日晒雨淋那么辛苦，一年才几百上千元收入，怎么不与农民比呢？航天器修一次需要耗费成百上千万元，又怎么比得了？这世上很多价值是不可通约、无法比较的。另一方面，确实有很多人喝茶花上百、换汽车零件要几千不嫌贵，可那很大程度上是少数人的消费，而生病却是每个人必须面对的。与那些奢侈品不一样，医疗是一种生活必需品，生重病了不看病就会失去生命。既然是必需品，人们对价格的感觉当然会非常敏感，所以go-vern-ment必须尽可能维持这些公共必需品的低价，尽可能让每个人都消费得起。

　　评价一个国家民众的医疗负担重不重，看病贵不贵，不应漫无边际、胡搅蛮缠地拿修人与修车比，而应该拿医疗消费的增长与工资增长比，拿平均门诊费用与居民的可支配收入比，看人均医疗支出占人均收入的比例，这才是理性的参照物，也是国际通用的比较框架。实际上，中国当下“看病难看病贵”的公共认知和社会感觉，并不是想当然的感觉和观念问题，而正是源于公众对这些客观数据的理性比较。保全性命和重视健康是人类最基本的价值需求，这方面中国人并不比外国人差，但生命最珍贵，并不意味着人们可以忽视治病的成本和代价。

　　曾其毅说，看个感冒花一百多元钱就觉得贵是对生命和医疗技术的不尊重——这显然也属奇谈怪论，怎么能以花钱多少来评判尊重与否？生命是无价的，医疗技术的最高尊荣正体现在治病救人上，医者放弃了对这种职业尊荣的追求，以金钱度量技艺尊严，见钱才动手术刀，这才是对生命和医疗技术最大的不尊重。请问，患者看个感冒愿花多少钱，才显得尊重自己的生命和医生的技术？正像虚荣的女人喜欢以丈夫所送钻戒的大小，来衡量爱的程度一样，这是一种变相的绑架。

　　曾其毅还提到，在中国，专家门诊的诊金是7元，但是国外要请一个医生看病，诊金是300元——这也是在故意混淆概念。中国医院的门诊确实不算高，但门诊费只占人们医疗支出的很少一部分，医院并非靠门诊赚钱，而更多是靠开大处方、过度检查和卖药赚钱，公众常说的“看病贵”正在于此。请问，如今有几家医院和几个医生是靠那7元的诊金赢利？而且，曾其毅只比较了中外的门诊差距，而没有比较中国人与外国人巨大的收入差距，也没比较国内巨大的收入差距。

　　写到这里，突然想起了曾其毅委员的身份——广州市卫生局副局长，一个既有医疗体制的受益者，站在本群体利益立场上自然不会嫌看病贵，越贵对自己越有利。而且曾副局长以其领导身份，看病肯定是用不着自己花钱的，一个看病从不掏自己腰包的人，当然不会切身感觉到中国的看病贵。又想起卫生部某高官曾经披露过的一个数据：我国go-vern-ment投入的医疗费用中，80%是为850万以party政干部为主的群体服务的。许多地方局级以上领导干部，都持有三级医院的干部医疗卡，不但打针吃药，连住院吃饭都用不着自己掏钱，每年还可以享受携带家属的“疗养”，有专门的干部病房、干部招待所和度假村。享用着这么多的医疗费用，享受着这么周到的医疗服务，当然感觉“看病最不难最不贵”了！

此文引用来自“猫扑论坛”huancrisma的《到底是哪些人“看病最不难最不贵” !》

      "Life is fine and enjoyable, but you must learn how to enjoy the fine life."

      This is an old English saying, standing in one of the green belts of our school. The other day, while hurrying to my office, I came across it, and was stuck there immediately.

      Looking into my everyday life, I often complain about the dull dorm-office-classroom pattern. Even sometimes I wonder, "Why do I have to work so hard every day?" Every morning, when others are still in their warm and comfortable beds, I have to get up, brush my teeth in a hurry and then rush out of the dorm towards the office. Besides, I don't have a good salary though prices are getting higher and higher.

      But, are things really that bad? From time to time, I get the information from TV that there are still millions of people living in poverty nowadays and that thousands of people are out-of-job. So, it's not necessary for me to complain about my present situation.

      In fact, when we're not satisfied with ourselves in a certain side, maybe we ignore some other good aspects. So, when we are sad, we need to calm ourselves down and think about the other side. Through this, we are likely to enjoy ourselves most.

　　由于近段时间无法上网，浩浩，在你生日的那一天爸爸不能准时把那精彩的时刻记录下来，现在给你补上吧。

　　上周末，从丽江飞往北京的东航MU5711次航班，经停昆明时，把乘客扔在机场长达12小时，东航云南分公司先是给乘客出具了一份加盖公章的书面解释，称“飞机机械故障，起飞时间待定”。可是，有乘客通过上网发现，自己刚刚乘坐的机身编号为B5242的飞机正在执行另一个航班，经乘客一再追问，东航最终作出书面致歉，并承认飞机没有故障，而是被调往西双版纳。

　　此事一经曝光，舆论一片哗然。有媒体要求:必须严惩盖着公章的欺诈。

　　其实，航空公司晚点是经常的事情，编个理由、说个假话欺骗顾客绝不会是东航一家。这次玩现了，纯属偶然。老实说，我坐飞机凡是遇到晚点，除了天气原因外，十有八九都是“飞机机械故障”。这是一个过得硬的晚点理由，即使是谎言，乘客也只好接受，总不好意思要求飞机带病起飞吧。有时候，在机场晚点待机，听着广播里此伏彼起地“××××航班，飞机因故障晚点”，我都想找民航总局建议一下:哪怕真的是飞机故障晚点，能否说个假话。因为两三个小时飞机修好了，我坐上去心里不踏实，一路上琢磨着飞机到底修好没有，自己坐的可是刚刚发生过故障的飞机。人同此心，估计其他乘客也是这么想。

　　明明不是飞机故障，非要说成“故障”，这和我建议把故障少说一点或不说，正好相反。都是说假话，前一个假话给顾客带来心理压力，增加恐慌感。后一个假话，真实的谎言，知道顾客了解飞机发生了故障也帮不上忙，索性就别说了。

　　结合东航这次的说假话发生“故障”事件，民航总局不妨召集各航空公司开个会，好好研究一下我们应当怎样说假话的问题。到了天命之年，我想问题喜欢“求其次”。在一个说真话比登天还难的时代，假话满天飞的社会，我们要求航空公司说真话有点强人所难，倒不如坐下来讨论把假话说好点，说得不那么无耻，不那么拙劣。骂人还讲究艺术呢，假话就不能有点艺术？

　　在说假话方面，银行似乎比航空公司技高一筹。比如说，深圳市民近日在银行柜台或者ATM机上取款时遇到了限制。个人客户每人每天不得超3万元，一周内不超5万元，一个月禁超20万元，部分ATM机取款限时。 人民银行深圳中心支行现金管理部门的负责人解释，加强大额取现管理是为了打击“背包党”。大规模的现金投放混杂了相当多的利用大额提现来进行黄赌毒、走私、洗钱、偷漏税等各种违纪、违规、违法行为，甚至产生了一批职业提钞人(所谓的“背包党”)，他们通过持续的异地汇入提款，频繁进行大额提现，造成了客户在银行柜台和ATM机服务上非正常排队现象，严重影响了银行对客户的正常服务效率，对正常的经济秩序和广大金融消费者的利益都产生了不利影响。

　　稍加分析，就会发现银行的假话说得头头是道。且不说银行是否应该把打击黄赌毒、走私、洗钱、偷漏税这些由公安、海关、税务等部门管理的工作都承担起来，也不说这些违纪、违规、违法行为是否因为有了取款限制就不存在了，就凭着银行的这些理由，一分钱现金都不允许提了也是应该的。我们的银行充分考虑到了正常的经济秩序和广大金融消费者的利益，还允许适当地、少量地提取一部分现金，多么仁义的银行。

　　银行的理由听起来合情合理，却也有些许漏洞。本来，提取大额现金，公安、税务、 反洗钱机关可以根据记录及时追查，改成小额的了，反而让坏人躲藏在广大金融消费者里面了。再者说，在提现环节用“卡”住所有人的办法去捕捉坏人，为什么不在存钱时就把坏人抓出来？十分显然，银行的说法很是可疑，但假话却说得冠冕堂皇。大概是航空公司的工作性质是从甲地到乙地飞行，总走直线，说假话也不太会拐弯抹角。银行的工作性质则不然，赚的是赚钱人的钱，不比赚钱人还精明的人干不了这一行，说起假话也透着深奥。当然，美国的银行家比咱们更会说假话，把次优贷款包装了卖出去，咱们的银行家还买了不少，不会说大师级的假话是不可能做到的。

　　前天，据同事反映，今年３月４日，Ｇ省Ｙ市一千多名乡镇中小学教师聚集在该市市政府大院内，要求政府给个说法。事件的起因是这样的：为了应对不断上涨的物价，该市给市区中小学校的教师的工资提高了平均一千元左右，而仅仅给乡镇中小学教师们增加了平均五十元左右。由于对市政府此举不满，一千多名乡镇中小学教师自发组织起来，以静坐的方式向政府讨个说法。

　　第二天，我早早上网，以“Ｙ市教师静坐”为关键词百度了一下，搜出了无数的相关网页，有的是一些网站的专栏文章，有的是博客文章，而更多的却是论坛帖子。我迫不及待地点击了其中一个链接，然而得到的却是服务器错误的警报。我以为只是偶然，所以接着打开第二个链接，那是一篇博客文章，得到的结果是文章不存在。难道是巧合吗？我不相信，一个一个地点击那些搜索出来的链结，而非常“巧合”的是，百分之九十九的文章已经不存在了。只有某论坛里的一篇比较模糊地描述此事的帖子得以幸存，然而由于模糊，我无法非常详细地了解这个事件。

　　据说，一位来自该省的省会Ｇ市的报社记者３月５日驱车前往Ｙ市采访此事，准备从某高速公路的出口进入Ｙ市时，一位警察也很“巧合”地把他拦住了，不管记者怎么解释，警察最终还是将他遣返了。

　　这些天电视，报纸以及各种媒体都在报道在北京召开的全国人大和全国政协两大会议，电视里说代表们关注更多的是民生，不知道工资收入能不能算是民生的一个方面？教师们为了切身的利益以和平的方式向政府讨个说法的行为不知合法与否？如果不违法，为什么互联网上的相关文章都“非常巧合”地消失了，记者的采访被拒之门外了？

　　无独有偶，一位北京律师去年十七大期间在博客里发表的一篇有关法律的文章也“巧合”地消失了。该律师马上向其博客提供商讨说法，得到的答复是他的文章太敏感。律师非常纳闷：同样一篇文章，为什么在新浪博客可以发表，这里就不行？为此，他将该博客提供商告上法庭，要求博客提供商即刻恢复他的文章。法庭拒绝了他的诉讼请求，说是证据不足。

　　也许，这样的事情是在不应该发生的时候发生了。

　　（后记：为了不必要的麻烦，本人将具体的省市用字母代替，同时也希望这篇文章不要“巧合”地消失，明天我的博客仍安然无恙。）

Time Is Money

“Time is money.” This saying means that time is very valuable.

But time is more valuable than money. The money we have lost can be gained again, but the time we have wasted cannot be regained. Moreover, sometimes persons can exist without money, but nothing can be done without time, just as no one can live without air.

Despite being so valuable, time is often neglected by men. Since time is an invisible thing, men often waste their time unconsciously（无意地）. Without anything to do, they may gossip from morning till night.

Man can live only at most to about 100 years. It seems fairly long, but in fact it is rather short. We often say “How quickly time flies!” How many things can a man accomplish in such a short period? Hence we should use the valuable time properly to do our work. We will race with it. We will study and work hard. Never waste a little bit of it.

Try to Be a Good Student

Perhaps it is the dream of everyone to be a good student at school, but quite a few students feel at a loss on how to make it. In my opinion it is rather easy if you can act on the following points.

First of all, make full use of your time and work hard. Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today, as time past will never come back. The fast developing society requires adequate knowledge, which presses us to spare no efforts to study. Of course, your hard work will be rewarded one day.

Secondly, use your own head and present your point of view. Credulous（轻信的）attitude will only make you take anything for granted. With your own judgment you will be able to tell right from wrong and set up your own theory.

Thirdly, set aside enough time for relaxation, entertainment, etc. don’t ignore the harm of all work and no play. Proper sports will build up your body and improve the efficiency of your studying.

To be a good student is easier said than done, for it needs a student’s consistent efforts. But nothing is difficult to a man if he puts his heart into it.

Natural Resources

Nature has provided us with many kinds of resources. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from Nature. The food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the concrete and bricks to build our houses, the materials to make bikes we ride, etc. all come originally from Nature.

People have been making use of these natural supplies for thousands of years. With the development of technology and the increase of the population, the amount and range of materials taken has increased. It is estimated that this tread will continue in the years to come.

However, natural resources are not in exhaustible. Some resources are already nearly used up. For example, the end of the world’s fuel is already within sight. Such an essential daily item as water is in short supply in many parts of the world. We can no longer thoughtlessly use the many resources provided by Nature. We must learn to conserve what remains.

We Have Only One World

When industries grow, pollution also grows. Today the problem of environment has become more and more important. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we don’t take action immediately, then we will destroy our only world.

Man has made great progress in environment protection. Government of many countries has established laws to protect the forest and sea resource and to stop the environmental pollution.

Still more measures should be taken to solve the problem. First, we should start by educating the public about the hazards of pollution. The government on its part should also design stricter laws. This is not only for our own generation but also for the future generation to come.

It is necessary to protect our nature environment. We must begin now to protect our only world.

Make The Best Use of Our Land

It is the land that has been providing us with everything we need for centuries. In other words, almost everything we use daily comes from the land directly or indirectly. The food, clothes, houses, even the books and furniture are all supplied by the land. But the limited land is decreasing at a surprising speed. With the expanding of the cities, the development of the industry and over population, lots of large pieces of good farmland are being turned into residential areas with many houses and apartment buildings, or industrial areas, or warehouses.

Therefore some measures must be taken to stop the abusing of our farmland. On the other hand, we should let everyone realize the danger of being short of land. And also we should educate them how to make better use of our land.

Health

It is said that we do not properly value a thing until we have lost it. It is only when a friend dies that we find out how much he was to us. So it is with health. When we are young and strong and have good health, we think little about it. It seems natural to us to be always well, and we cannot imagine what it is like to be ill. Wo we are often careless about our health, and without thinking we spoil our health by bad habits and doing silly things. It is only when we have our good health that we find that it was one of God’s best gifts to us.

Health is our most important possession. We should do our best to maintain it. Good health is necessary to happiness and success. People who are in poor health are often pessimistic or depressed. As a rule, bad health means misery and failure.

How can we keep our health? Only by knowing and carefully obeying the laws of health. A happy man is a healthy man, and only the healthy man can live a happy life.

The desire for good health is universal. Everyone who loves life understands how important health is. First, good health is the guarantee for enjoying life. The only desire of a patient is always to live an ordinary and healthy life. Second, good health establishes a firm foundation for your ambition of the career. Without it, any lofty aspiration turns to be a daydream.

Then how to keep fit? Everyone has his own answers to this question, while I think three principal suggestions should be followed. The first one is that a scientific diet should be adopted, which offers the necessities for your body. The second one is that physical exercises must be persisted, especially for the indoor people. The last, but not the least, is that the cheerful mood should be kept.

In order to keep fit, I force myself to keep away from the “junk food”, although it usually tastes good, I even form a good habit of doing morning exercises. And the beautiful music and good books always cheer me up.

Sports and Games

Sports and games do a lot of good to our health. They can make us strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep healthy and fit. Especially they can be of great value to people who work with their brains most of the day, for sports and games give people valuable practice in exercising the body.

What’s more, they make our life richer and more colourful. If we do not have a strong body, we will find it hard to do whatever we want. So persons of all ages enjoy watching and taking part in various kinds of sports-track and fields, swimming, skating, football, volleyball and basketball, etc.

Sports and games are also very useful in character training. They demand not only physical skills and strength but also courage, endurance, discipline and usually teamwork. For boys and girls, what is learned in the playground often has a deep effect on their character. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.

A healthy citizen makes a strong country. Let’s all take part in sports and games.

Smoking

It is well known that smoking does harm to the health. Today, so many people still keep smoking, which has drawn wide attention of the society.

Smoking has so many disadvantages but no advantages at all. First, the cigarettes with nicotine in them do great harm to the health. Such diseases as pneumonia, lung cancer may be caused or partly caused by them. Furthermore, the bad effects of cigarettes cost the smokers lots of money, which could be spent on other meaningful things. Thirdly, the accidents of fire all over the world every year are mostly caused by the still-burning butts (end).

The government has formulated the regulation of no smoking in public places. Yet its result is not so satisfactory. From my point of view, it needs the common efforts of the society. Not only the nonsmokers but the smokers should cooperate on this matter.

My Views on Large Modern Cities

Since every coin has two sides, living in large modern cities offers us many advantages, simultaneously causes many troubles. Better education and better jobs are easy to get, and better medical care is convenient to receive in large modern cities.

People are usually well informed due to the advanced media, such as television, newspaper and net PC. Large modern cities also provide varied entertainment for the city-dwellers. The public places like cinema, bar, disco-ball are everywhere.

On the other hand, large modern cities are too big to control, so the traffic jams and traffic accidents often happen, and the social security is a headache problem. And city-dwellers have to face the housing problem. Usually a house is too expensive for the salary earning class to buy and the rent is also high. Moreover, noise and pollution in large cities bring harm to people’s health.

Live in the City or in the Country

Where do you like to live, in the city or in the country?

Most cities are centers of economy, trade, transportation or culture. With the development of economy and society, more and more people have flooded into the cities, which makes the scale of the cities larger and larger. Surely, it is very convenient for shopping, education, business and so on. But it also has many disadvantages: the large population makes it crowded in each corner of the city; the big factories, too many cars, buses and trucks pollute the clean air; too much noise can make people mad. To live in the city, one even can’t get enough room for living.

To live in the country is another thing. You can breathe the fresh air cheerfully, own a spacious house with a big backyard, and relax yourself in quietness. But when you want to go shopping, or take your child to school, perhaps you will complain about its inconvenient transportation, its remoteness…I am an ordinary person. I am always longing for the peaceful idyllic（田园诗般的） life of the countryside.

        如丝如雾的冬雨依然夺魂似的追赶行人的脚步，而在这天寒地冻的日子里，唯一能暖透我心窝的，是我家那个既调皮捣蛋又可爱至极的浩浩。

　　其实前几天浩浩的牙齿就开始冒出来了，上面两颗，下面也是两颗，正如奶奶所说的：“浩浩长牙齿了，今天给他喂粥时勺子碰到了好几次，而且发出的声音与往常是不一样的。”奶奶说这话的时候，显得很兴奋，就好像当年哥伦布发现美洲那块新大陆一样。

        我也为此感到很高兴，毕竟浩浩所发生的任何小小的变化都会让我激动不已。

        曾经，我任教的一个班的学生邀请我去为他们的“感恩”主题班会发言。说实在的，之前我并未能深刻体会到父母的含辛茹苦。做上了爸爸后，我终于深深感受到了什么才是“一泡屎一泡尿”，但是，就是在这些周而复始的平凡的日子里，小家伙也给我们平淡的生活增添了不少乐趣。当我唠叨完这些家常时，令我始料不及的是，我的学生竟然给了我长达三分钟的掌声！

　　受宠若惊的感觉如今依然难以忘怀，但是想想，生活不正是这样吗？只要你用心去体会，再平凡的小事也可以演绎成一个个精彩；只要你常怀感恩之情，再怎么冰冻的冬季心里也可以是暖融融的。

My View on Job-Hopping

Some people tend to stick to their positions all the time, as they think the longer one works in a particular field, the more skillful one will be at it. Some have been teachers all their lives. Some devote their life energy to scientific research. Such people love their work and turn out to be specialists in their own field. They are usually high achievers.

Some are different. They are in the habit of job-hopping, for they always pursue (follow) what is new and stimulating (interesting). They never seem content with their present situation. Some like to meet more people, make more money and new acquaintances, so they hop from job to job.

As far as I am concerned, I want to be professionally strong. I am not in favor of constant job-hopping, as the saying goes “Jack of all trades, master of none”. But I want to cooperate and communicate with someone else so as to be more creative and less partial.

Attending College at One’s Own Expense

Nowadays, colleges and universities tend to accept more and more candidates with a score close to the required by charging a portion of their tuition. Moreover, the percentage of the students attending college this way will be increasing year by year.

Owing to this practice, college candidates have much freedom in choosing the major they mostly interested in. In addition, those who did not perform well on the College Entrance Exam are able to attend college to have further studies. It is reported that most of these students work harder than their classmates. Certainly this practice has some disadvantages. For example, those candidates who cannot afford the tuition might have fewer opportunities to receive higher education.

In my opinion, the advantages of this practice weigh more than its disadvantages. So I am in favor of it and I believe people will be more willing to accept it as time goes by.

School-aged Children Drop Out

It’s reported that in China about one million school-aged children drop out of school each year and 80% of the drop-outs are from the families which are too poor to keep their children at school.

To tackle the problem, the government has launched the Hope Project. It has helped thousands of children go back to school. But in my opinion, this is far from enough. In order to change this situation completely, the government should set aside an adequate amount of money for education, especially for elementary education. And also, the government should establish laws to ensure that no children should drop out of school as elementary school education is compulsory in China, and local governments should aid the poor families so that they can send their children to school.

To sum up, so long as our central and local governments and the whole society pay enough attention to this problem and take effective action, this situation will be changed.

Knowledge and Power

Knowledge and power are the two things most desired by man. There is close connection between these two things. The man, having done his best in acquiring knowledge, will easily get a high position and perform it successfully.

Power depends on knowledge. Knowledge to power is just like a compass to a ship, by which her sailing is made safely across an unknown ocean. A great statesman or a learned scholar can render (give) his good services to his country just because he has perfect and profound knowledge.

Power only follows knowledge. A man cannot do anything well unless he has some information as how to do it well. A man will sometimes lose his way in a strange land; an apprentice cannot produce any delicate work. Why are these so? Because they are in want of knowledge. If the apprentice wishes to produce good work, he must pay attention to his instructor’s advice.

We are all the future masters of our country. Our country needs our services. How can we fulfill our future tasks? To get more knowledge is the only answer.

Breakfast

We get the energy for our movements from food. Human beings are just like machines. For us to work properly, we must be well energized. The energy, of course, comes from the three meals a day, that is, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Breakfast is more important than any other meal in a day. For one thing, after a night’s sleep, most of the energy stored in the human body has been consumed. Breakfast serves the purpose of replenishing (fill up again) energy, thus making us energetic again. For another, in the course of a day, morning is the period of time in which we work with most efficiency. Without breakfast, the efficiency would be lost. Finally, the constant lack of breakfast can contribute to stomach troubles.

Therefore, to keep fit, we must have breakfast every day. It can be a cup of mild with some bread, or a bowl of porridge with some steamed bread, or anything else of the similar kind. Anyway, we must eat our fill (eat as much as we can), because a good breakfast can not only ensure our good health but also make a good beginning for a new day.

Ability and Gook Looks

Old people usually tell the young, “Don’t judge a person by his appearance.” Meaning ability is more important than appearance. Indeed, we’ve seen so many brilliant but not at all good-looking people. In the film Mozart, an opera singer reiterates (repeat) this view by saying, “For a woman of taste, it is not the looks, but the talent that interests me.” For her, the preference shows one’s taste.

However, nowadays, with more and more interviewers putting much emphasis on the looks, the appearance of the job-applicants, a lot of people come to the conclusion that appearance is more important than ability because many beautiful girls acquire very good positions although they don’t have much talent.

In my opinion, ability is definitely much more important than good looks, because it demonstrates one’s own self-cultivation. It bespeaks (show) the efforts and the glory of acquiring something through one’s hard work whereas a good look bespeaks no struggle of the individual. Good looks are pleasant, but I like the ability because it really shows something of my own self.

Life Is Struggle

Everything in the world is in constant struggle. Struggle is in a sense of the competition in natural selection among organisms.

Animals and plants struggle for their existence. Nature provides them with weapons for that struggle. Lions have claws; fish have scales; roses have thorns. They use these weapons for the unavoidable war of existence. Nature also orders us to struggle; when we obey the nature, we win our existence.

The result of struggle is the evolution of a better society. In order to surpass the others, one has to devote himself to what he does. If every individual does so, the society will make progress.

Struggle is inevitable. But we should struggle with sportsmanship, not to stand in the way of others in order to achieve our own success. It is only by struggling in such a way, mankind will see a world getting more glorious day by day.

Can Computer Replace Human Brain

Computers are working faster than human brain. But is it possible that some day the computer will replace human brain and control the human being?

It is quite impossible. Computers are designed and developed by human brain. They are used to speed up the calculation. Computers are working according to the orders designed by human being. The running of computer is a group of integrated circuit run by a set of programmes. Without programmes, the computers will not know what to do.

It is true people are relying more and more on computers. If people don’t know how to control computers, they may be replaced by computers and lose their jobs.

Success

Success is a lousy (very bad) teacher. It seduces (tempt) smart people into thinking they can’t lose. And it’s an unreliable guide to the future. What seems the perfect business plan or latest technology today may soon be out-of-date.

Usually winning lottery (彩票) is thought to be one’s luck. Many people like to try their luck.

One of the lottery’s new millionaires gave an interview on television. When he was asked by the reporter how he had picked his winning numbers, he said that while “two of the six numbers he just pulled for no particular reason.” As for the other four numbers, he used family birth dates. “ So, you see,” he boasted（自夸）, “Winning the lottery is not all just luck.”

The Car and Pollution

Most Americans would find it hard to think what life would look like without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution caused by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.

One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute. That’s what several of the large factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something. Now inventors are working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a useful model that pleases men.

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to reduce the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and to work by bicycle. It is thought to help man to keep the air clean.

But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers might find themselves without jobs if a car factory closed. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

Although cars have led us to better life, they have also brought us new problems.
