3.TVABlessingoraCurse?

AsTVenters moreandmore families,

In

some

countries,

some

TV

provide

such

programs

as

others

which

are

quite

4.OnTestandTestTaking

give

it

5.TheDictionary

The

dictionary

is

a

living

teacher.

Wheneveryoucomeacross

anewword,

just

consult

it

and

you

will

get

aclear

Every

student,

whether

Sooner

Instead

of

waiting

for

the

hewill

makeefforts

It

will

certainly

be

of

great

help,

if

there

is

goodenvironment,

sufficient

books

andequipment,

aswell

as

instructions

from

and

beneficial

friends.

But

evenif

these

favorable

conditions,

Sothe

7.IsFailureaBadThing?

Failure

is

a

common

occurrence

(happening)

inour

daily

life.

Whatever

everyone

sometimes

8.Recreation

Itisimpossibletokeepingoodhealth

unless

we

take

sufficient

(enough)

recreation.

The

mind,

too,

requires

change

to

make

it

acute

(sharp)

and

vigorous.

Thereis

muchtruth

in

the

old

saying,

“All

workandnoplay

makesJack

adullboy.

”

There

are

many

games

for

people

to

indulge

(enjoy)

after

their

workof

study.

Amongthemare

football,

tennis,

and

kite-flying.

Other

forms

of

recreation

are

boating,

fishing,

gardening,

cycling,

walking,

chess-playing,andreading.Thosewho

spend

mostof

their

time

in

the

openair

andhaveconstantmuscularemployment,

should

adopt

reading

or

someother

quiet

forms

of

recreation.

Persons

who

sit

muchat

their

business

should

take

akind

of

recreation

that

will

supply

their

muscleswithexercise.

Recreation

provides

people

with

the

kind

of

rest

andrelaxation.

It

makespeople

feel

happy,

energetic

and

confident,

meanwhile

it

prepares

people

9.OnToday’sEducation

Ithinkoneofthemainproblemswith

today’s

education

is

that

too

much

emphasisis

placed

ontest

score.

It

has

become

the

most

important

criterion

(standard)

for

college

enrollment.

A

student,

however

creative

and

intelligent,willnotbeadmittedinto

acollegeforhistotalscoresarejust

onepoint

less

than

required.

It

is

also

on

of

the

crucial

(decisive)

factors

either

in

job

assignment

or

in

employmentcompetitions.

Thecompetitionforhighscoresamong

students

becomesintense.

Students

find

themselves

concentrating

more

on

strategiestoachievehighscoresthan

onacquiringtheknowledge.Theywill

play

truant

(stay

away

from)

of

some

subsidiary

(less

important)

courses

and

skip

over

the

substance,

which

will

not

Teachersareapttogivetheir

As

Asaresult,thecompetitionforhigh

that

11.MyViewonJob-Hopping

asthey

12.Attending College atOne’sOwn

Expense

Nowadays,

colleges

and

universities

tendto

accept

moreandmorecandidates

withascoreclosetotherequiredby

charging

aportion

of

their

tuition.

Moreover,

thepercentage

of

the

students

attending

college

this

way

will

be

increasingyearbyyear.

Owing

to

this

practice,

college

candidates

havemuchfreedominchoosing

themajor

they

mostly

interested

in.

In

addition,

those

whodid

not

performwell

ontheCollege Entrance Examareable to

attend college tohavefurther studies.

It is reported that most of these

students

work

harder

than

their

classmates.

Certainly

this

practice

has

somedisadvantages.Forexample,those

candidates

whocannot

afford

the

tuition

might

have

fewer

opportunities

to

receivehighereducation.

Inmyopinion,theadvantagesofthis

practice

than

its

SoI

Breakfast

is

Foronething,

after

ofthe

16.AbilityandGookLooks

Old

people

usually

tell

the

young,

“Don’t

judge

a

person

by

his

appearance.”Meaningabilityismore

important

than

appearance.

Indeed,

we’veseensomanybrilliant

butnot

at

all

good-looking

people.

In

the

film

Mozart,

an

opera

singer

reiterates

(repeat)thisviewbysaying,

“Fora

womanof

taste,

it

is

not

the

looks,

but

the

talent

that

interests

me.”For

her,

thepreferenceshowsone

’staste.

However,nowadays,withmoreandmore

interviewersputtingmuchemphasison

the

looks,

the

appearance

of

the

job-applicants,

alot

of

people

cometo

theconclusionthatappearanceismore

important

than

ability

because

many

beautiful

girls

acquire

very

good

positions

although

theydon’thavemuch

talent.

In

myopinion,

ability

is

definitely

muchmore

important

than

goodlooks,

because

it

demonstrates

one’s

own

self-cultivation.

It

bespeaks

(show)

theeffortsandthegloryofacquiring

something

through

one’shardwork

whereasagoodlook

bespeaksnostruggle

of

Good

looks

are

pleasant,
