英语四级阅读技巧
大学英语四级考试，即cet-4的缩写，是由国家教育部高等教育司主持的全国性英语考试。考试的主要对象是根据教育大纲修完大学英语四级的在校专科生、本科生或研究生。
答题技巧一： 详略得当
对于大学英语四级阅读来说，根据题目的“题眼”快速在文章中找到答案是最关键的，这样我们就要在阅读时注意详略得当。克服精读精益求精的*惯，做到有信息处精读，无信息处略读，略读处一扫而过。
题目中数字、人名等信息(题眼)在原文中对应的部分必须详读。而对所要解释或证明的观点的细节举例处或者通常有数个名词的并列项，它们不是完整的主谓宾的句子，因此无法与问题对应的详细列举处，都可以略读。
答题技巧二：显性信息
查读的信息通常是显性信息，只要将问题在原文中进行准确定位就能得到正确答案，一般不需要做推理。
特别提示：考生对于以下一些显性信息也应注意
(1) 表示因果关系的词或词组：because， reason， due to， since， so that， therefore等
(2) 表示目的关系的词或词组：in order to， so as to， by等
(3) 表示转折关系的词或词组：but， however， yet等
(4) 表示对比关系的.词或词组：contrary to， unlike， like等
答题技巧三：题文同序
英语四级考试的阅读部分，问题顺序与原文顺序一致(有时顺序不一致)，这就要求考生应该按照题目的顺序依次做题。
答题技巧四：分解对应
分解对应四分法：快速将问题分解成4个部分(主a 谓b宾c 其他d)，与原文进行对比。
答题技巧五：选小不选大
四级阅读中，问题的范围必须小于原文范围，反之则不选。
不能选的选项为：
(1) 选项的信息与原文内容相反
(2) 选项将原文的意思张冠李戴
(3) 将原文中的不确定因素转化为确定因素
(4) 改变原文中的条件、范围等

the general house effect
the green house effect is not a new phenomenon. scientists have known for centuries that a layer of gases naturally surrounds the earth like an insulating blanket, trapping the reflected energy of the sun and preventing it from escaping into space that is what makes the earth warm enough for people, plants and animals. however, recent human activity has boosted concentrations of greenhouse gases and enhanced their heat-trapping ability. the man culprit is carbon dioxide which scientists estimate accounts for nearly half of global warming.co2 is released from burning fossil fuels and from clearing and burning forests.
there are other important greenhouse gases too and they cannot be ignored. cfcs, for example, may account for 25 per cent of global warming in the text century if their production is not scaled back. but carbon dioxide is the pivotal one. the un international panel on climatic change now says that co2 levels could double within in 40 years if present rates of fossil-fuel burning and deforestation continue. that means an average temperature increase between two and four degrees centigrade and a sea-level rise of perhaps a foot by 2050.
no one knows for certain how local weather will change as a result of this warming. but one thing is clear-it will be no picnic. indications are that the earth will be take place not over thousands of years, but over decades. and it is the speed of the change, which makes the precise impact so difficult to predict.
the most sophisticated com*rized climate models in the us and uk , agree that weather around the world will become more irregular and more extreme. in general, temperatures will become more towards the poles than at the equator. overall rainfall will also increase as higher temperatures boost evaporation from the seas. but the distribution of precipitation will shift. some areas will become wetter, others will be drier. in middle latitudes, climate zones will march poles-wards. in tropical and subtropical parts of the third would, warming will be less but the impact on a relatively stable climate will be greater.
global warming will also cause ocean levels to rise---though not, as popular wisdom has it, due to the antarctic ice cap melting. if this catastrophe occurs it will not be for at least another century. instead, sea levels will rise sim* because water expands as it warms. people living in low-lying coastal regions will be in danger. the world’s great river deltas, home to millions in asia and latin america and containing some of the third world’s richest food-growing land, could become brackish graveyards.
6. which gas is the most responsible for global warming?
a. carbon dioxide.
b. cfcs.
c. green houses.
d. other gases in the atmosphere.
7. what will happen if man continues to burn fossil fuels and forests at present rates?
a. all fossil fuels, like coal, oil and gas, will run out.
b. deforestation will give rise to the loss of co2.
c. the temperature will increase two to four degrees fahrenheit.
d. the rise of sea-level will reach about a foot by 2050.
8. why is the precise impact the global warming will exert on local weather hard to predict?
a. because the great changes in temperature will take place in just decades.
b. because the course of changes will last thousands of years.
c. because people are not sure whether the earth will be warmer than before.
d. because there are many other factors involved in this change.
9. which of the following is true according to the passage?
a. the earth, as a whole, will become much wetter.
b. the temperature around equator will rise more than around the poles.
c. the amount of rainfall will be the same from place to place.
d. the weather around the world will be more unusual in the next few decades.
10. it can be concluded that
a. the rise of ocean levels is due to the antarctic ice cap melting.
b. the temperature increase will take a gradual course.
c. human beings will have to suffer more from environmental damage.
d. without greenhouse gases the earth would be extremely hot.
参考答案
6.a
第一段有这样一句话：the main culprit is carbon dioxide, which scientists estimate accounts for nearly half of global warming 从这句话可以看出，二氧化碳是全球变暖的罪魁祸首，对全球变暖负有重大责任。
7.d
联合国的环境变化国际小组告诉我们：如果仍以目前的速度使用燃料并滥伐森林，到2005年，地球温度将会上升2-4摄氏度，海*面也将上升一英尺。所以c是错误的。a文章没有提到燃料是否会用尽。b 滥伐森林不但不会使二氧化碳减少，反而会使二氧化碳越来越多。
8.a
第三段最后一句话告诉我们这道题的正确答案。it is the speed of the change, which makes the precise impact so difficult to predict.地球的温度在十年间就升高了，变化发生的速度如此之快，使人很难预测到地球变暖对当地气候的影响。
9.d
文章的第四段指出：在美国和英国有一个非常复杂的计算机化模型，这一模型得出了世界气候越来越变化无常、越来越不规律这一结论。a一些地方会更加湿润，一些地方会更加干燥，而不是选项中所说的地球整体上会变的更加湿润。b温度在两极的增长幅度大于在赤道的增长幅度， 而不是赤道的温度增长幅度大于两极的增长幅度。c 雨量分布将发生变化，而不是选项中所说的各地的降水量相同。
10.c
文章的末尾告诉我们：环境的污染引起的全球变暖、海*面上升、气候异常以及雨量分布不均，最终给人类带来更多的不幸。a 海*面的上升并不像人们认为的那样是由于南极冰层融化引起的。

11. global warming could disrupt the ability of a large portion of the world’s oceans to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, setting off a vicious cycle in which the earth gets even hotter, researchers said.
(set off使爆炸,出发; vicious adj.恶的, 堕落的;researchers said注意翻译顺序)
12. these waters around antarctica make up 10 percent of the world’s oceans and play a significant role in soaking up carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas seen as one of the main causes of global warming.
(waters水域;soak up 吸收;注意过去分词短语的翻译)
13. since carbon dioxide contributes to global warming, scientists believe a growing build-up of the gas would make the environmental problem increasingly worse.

14. if global warming continues with increased precipitation in the southern ocean, there will be more stratification and that will favor diatoms.
(precipitation n.仓促; stratification n.层化, 成层,; diatom n.硅藻属)
15. the study, which took place during a month -long expedition during the antarctic summer, was also one of the first to show that some types of algae absorb carbon dioxide better than others.
(expedition n.远征, 探险队; algae n.藻类, 海藻)

11.研究人员表示，全球性的气候变暖可能破坏世界上大部分海洋从大气中吸收二氧化碳的能力，从而引起恶性循环，使地球的气候更加炎热。
12.南极洲周围的这片水域占地球海洋面积的百分之十，在吸收二氧化碳方面起着非常重要的'作用。而二氧化碳被认为是引起温室效应的气体，是导致全球气温升高的主要原因之一。
13.科学家认为：既然是二氧化碳引起了全球气候变暖，那么二氧化碳的不断积累会环境状况进一步恶化。
14.如果全球气候继续变暖，南大洋州的沉淀反应继续增加，海水的层次就将更多。这样有利于硅藻的生长。
15.这项为期一个月的科学考察活动是在南极洲的夏季进行的，也是首批发现某些种类的海藻比其它海藻具有更强的吸收二氧化碳的能力的研究工作之一。

56) fathers exposed to poisonous substances are probably just as likely to be the cause of defects in their unborn infants as mothers. yet it is women who are told to stop drinking and smoking and to look after their health when they are pregnant. and it is women who find that they are banned from jobs where they are exposed to harmful chemicals or radiation.57) despite a growing body of scientific evidence that a man s exposure to damaging substances can. affect his offspring, pregnant women are still charged with the responsibility of keeping their infants healthy, said gladys friedler, of the boston university school of medicine. "this is puzzling", she said. "most of the workforce is still male, so why do we still spend so much time looking at women? the health of men as well as women should be of concern. "
in the us,2,500,000 children are born with birth defects each year. in 60 percent of cases the origin of the defect is not known.58) these figures do not include less obvious problems that appear later in development, such as biochemical malfunctions and behavioral problems.
many researchers still seem reluctant to contemplate that a man s environment can influence the health of children. "if the effects had not been so obvious, we might still be reluctant to acknowledge the effect of environmental agents on women. " despite this, there is a reluctance to accept the accumulated evidence of men s effects on development, she said.59) some companies have already taken steps to "protect the unborn child" by excluding women from jobs where they teps to "protect the unborn child" by excluding women from jobs where they might be exposed to dangerous substances. this has led to some bitter dis*s between the women and their employers in the us. the most famous case, now before the supreme court, pits a group of women and their union against johnson controls, a company which makes batteries.60) the company transferred women from higher-paying jobs where they were exposed to lead on the grounds that it had to protect unborn children. the irony is that children born to me

56) fathers exposed to poisonous substances are probably just as likely to be the cause of defects in their unborn infants as mothers. yet it is women who are told to stop drinking and smoking and to look after their health when they are pregnant. and it is women who find that they are banned from jobs where they are exposed to harmful chemicals or radiation.57) despite a growing body of scientific evidence that a man s exposure to damaging substances can. affect his offspring, pregnant women are still charged with the responsibility of keeping their infants healthy, said gladys friedler, of the boston university school of medicine. "this is puzzling", she said. "most of the workforce is still male, so why do we still spend so much time looking at women? the health of men as well as women should be of concern. "
in the us,2,500,000 children are born with birth defects each year. in 60 percent of cases the origin of the defect is not known.58) these figures do not include less obvious problems that appear later in development, such as biochemical malfunctions and behavioral problems.
many researchers still seem reluctant to contemplate that a man s environment can influence the health of children. "if the effects had not been so obvious, we might still be reluctant to acknowledge the effect of environmental agents on women. " despite this, there is a reluctance to accept the accumulated evidence of men s effects on development, she said.59) some companies have already taken steps to "protect the unborn child" by excluding women from jobs where they teps to "protect the unborn child" by excluding women from jobs where they might be exposed to dangerous substances. this has led to some bitter dis*s between the women and their employers in the us. the most famous case, now before the supreme court, pits a group of women and their union against johnson controls, a company which makes batteries.60) the company transferred women from higher-paying jobs where they were exposed to lead on the grounds that it had to protect unborn children. the irony is that children born to me

job hunting has always been a headache for college students. though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.
the reasons for this phenomenon are various. on the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. on the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.
i reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. first, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed. they should go to small cities and country. there they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. in a word, if we pay much attention, the situation can be improved.

点评：
此次的作文主题与以往四级考试有所不同。以往主题主要关注学生的生活、就业、社会问题等，而此次作文主题落脚点与学生的学*本身有关。议论英语学*中忽视单词拼写的问题，这样的主题更好地体现出了英语学*目的与英语考试目的的结合，使考生切身体会到英语学*当中词语拼写的重要性。
这样的作文其实对考生本身来说难度并不大，因为考生自己在英语学*的过程中必然会忽视词汇的拼写，加之日常生活中文字的电子处理手段的日益增多，自动纠错功能更是会让考生不经意间就失去了单词拼写的感觉。因此，对于这样的文章，考生可以从自己的切身体会出发，分析自己在日常的学*中有无此类现象以及产生此类现象的原因，进行简单的构思从而把整篇文章整理出来。
此次的作文还是一篇小型的议论文。按照四级作文的格式要求，第一段我们还是总起说明现在在学生中间存在着忽视英语单词拼写的现象，这种现象给学生的写作带来了很大的问题和影响从而引起了学校和老师的担忧。
in current society,we come across too many people who put much emphasis on __________.in many cases,________ has become the sole criterion for judging a person’s __________. i argue that we should not put too much emphasis on ________. to begin with,we should not take it for granted that those who __________ will naturally ______________. moreover,_____________. yet, _____________. the above discussion points to a fact that _______________. consequently,it is of vital importance for us to realize that _____________.
在当前的社会中，我们遇到的人太多了，谁把重视__________，________，在许多情况下，已成为唯一的标准，用于判断一个人的__________。
我认为，我们不应该把太多的重点放在________。首先，我们不应该把它视为理所当然，那些谁__________自然______________。此外，_____________。然而，_____________。上面的讨论指向一个事实，即_______________。因此，它是至关重要的为我们认识_____________。
as is shown above, the bar chart clearly demonstrates the relationship between the education level and earning in 2010. it is obvious that well-educated persons such as owning doctoral degree and master's degree have a high salary than those who have relatively low degree. isolated as the figure seems to be, as a matter of fact, we can observe that the higher level of education you receive, the higher income you get.
people’s opinions about investment in education differ from person to person. some people say that knowledge could no longer change destiny. to them, it is not only a waste of money, but also a waste of time. others deem that education is worthy of investment. as for me it is no doubt that education offers favorable working opportunity and handsome income, which enable us to buy what we want ,please what we love, and fulfill what we dream, and correspondingly we are able to build an ideal paradise where life can be enjoyed to the uttermost.
in conclusion, we should realize significance of education, which plays a crucial role in personal growth of career. in addition, it is convinced that education is the prospect of a nation.
from the chart above, we can definitely get a conclusion that the more you learned, the higher your salary would be. the figures in the chart denied the claim that knowledge is useless. however quite a few people still hold the opinion that a higher education does no good to a better job since that there are many university students who can not get an ideal job.
what i want to point out is that there is more than one factor that contributes to the failure of finding an ideal job for those who got a higher education. while those who failed to get a better education will hardly succeed in getting a good job because they didn’t get the knowledge systematically and scientifically.
as the proverb goes like this, knowledge is power. education pays, sooner or later.

if my foreign friend comes to my hometown, i will take her to the central avenue .when it comes to the reasons why i choose this place, they can be briefly summed up as below. to start with, central avenue is a symbol of harbin, which has a long history. there are european-style buildings in mounting numbers along the street, attracting a great many tourists to take photos with them. moreover, a variety of delicious foods are tempting. taking a look around, i can find examples too numerous to list. the best illustration might be ice-cream brick of ma dieer. finally, brilliant historic culture can widen vision and enhance knowledge, laying a solid foundation for the understanding of this fabulous city. harbin is a city full of vitality and energy. i believe my foreign friend will enjoy her days
here. not only can she appreciate the landscape of the songhua river but also taste authentic northeast food. no better place can be chosen than central avenue!
in china, there’s a saying that "the landscape of guilin tops that of any other place under heaven." in light of this, i will recommend guilin as the first destination of my foreign friend’s trip to china.
overlooking the li jiang river, guilin is located in the northeast of guangxi. the name was derived from the cassia trees of the location. the trees line the streets of the town with yellow flowers blossoming every september, filling the air with sweet scent. guilin is a place of breath-taking scenery. from ancient times, guilin has been noted for its elegant landscape. it features beautiful mountains, clear rivers, grotesque rocks and
mystic crags, which is a feast for the eyes. sitting on a bamboo raft drifting down the river, visitors can see the varied shapes of the pinnacles reflected in the water. they will feel as if they were in a scroll of chinese landscape painting.i believe that my foreign friend will marvel at the unparalleled beauty of guilin.
enhance awareness to guard against campus thefts
"if you don't want to wake up and find you have no pants to wear, you'd better put themon in sleep," goes a popular joke among students. obviously, campus thefts have becomeincreasingly annoying as they occur far more often than before. and it seems that the thievesare less choosy these days, with their targets ranging widely from bikes, cell phones, purses,pre-paid ic cards to sunglasses, bags, and even underwear. in short, anything that worth adime is likely to be stolen.
what makes students the easy targets? the reasons are not hard to find. but i believe ofall these reasons, the lack of anti-theft alertness is the most important. for lack of alertness,the students tend to leave the doors and windows wide open during sleep at noon or at nightin summer. for the same reason, they'll also leave their bikes unlocked before a store or by aroad, or forget to take away their personal stuff before they go out of the classroom to make aphone call.
these acts undoubtedly have increased their exposure to the light-fingeredmonsters.
in order to minimize possible losses, the students must stay on guard in the first place, asawareness of the thefts around often makes a big difference. to be more specific, thestudents should not hide any tempting amount of cash in the dorm. put it in the bank instead.besides, do not leave any valuable items unattended. take them wherever you go. inaddition, it's advisable to develop a neighbourhood watch programme with other students inthe dorm and neighbouring dorms.
——certificate craze on campus英语四级作文 (菁华3篇)
in recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college students. just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he is preparing for a certificate of some kind. why does this craze appear?
there are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. to begin with, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. with the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. how can one make himself more competitive? more certificates at hand, maybe. furthermore, diploma and certificates are still vital standards by which a good many employers measure a persons ability. in order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.
from my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove ones ability. being crazy in getting certificates blindly is nothing but wasting time. to conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.
it is quite a common phenomenon that college students are enthusiastic over getting all kinds of certificates, such as accountant certificate, teacher certificate and so on. what is the reason for that? and it should be advocated or not?
这是一个相当普遍的现象，大学生都热衷于获得各种证书，如会计证书，教师资格证书等。这是为什么呢？应不应该提倡呢？
in my opinion, there are two reasons accounting for the phenomenon. for one thing, many students think that the more certificates they get now, the more chances they can get a good job in the future. they are told that the companies or institutions think highly of the certificate when interviewing. therefore, they try their best to get all kinds of certificates, even though some have no any relationship with their majors or interests. for another, following others’ choices is another reason. a number of students go to purse the certificates because they find that many classmates around them are doing that so they think it would be safe to follow others.
在我看来，有两个原因。一方面，许多学生认为他们得到了越多的证书，将来他们能够得到一份好工作的机会就越大。他们被告知说，公司或一些机构在采访的时候都认为证书很重要。因此，他们努力获得各种证书，即使是一些和他们专业和兴趣没有任何关系的证书。另一方面，随波逐流也是一个原因。许多学生用钱去买证书，因为他们发现他们周围的很多同学都是这样做的，所以他们觉得跟着别人会比较安全些。
from my point of view, it is not wise for everyone to follow others’ steps to get all kinds of certificates. i consider that we should make our choices combining with our own concrete conditions. besides, certificate is not the only one criterion to measure our ability and we should not be too enthusiastic over it.
在我看来，每个人都跟随别人的脚步去获得各种证书是不明智的。我认为我们应该结合自己的具体情况而做出选择。此外，证书并不是衡量自己能力的唯一标准，我们不应该对它过于热衷。
now more and more people are keen on various certificates no matter whether he orshe is in college or not. my friend was surprised when she saw a man in hisforties sitting next to her and working on his accounting paper with struggle. whythey are so addicted to certificates is my concern.
现在不管是不是大学生，越来越多的人热衷于考取各种各样的证书。很惊讶，当我的朋友看到一个四十岁左右的'男人坐在自己旁边努力奋斗会计论文时，她感到了很惊讶。我很担心为什么他们会如此沉迷于考证。
from my perspective, there are various kinds of purposes. first of all, throughworking on a certificate, college students can gain more knowledge and skillsaside from their own major. what’s more, the more certificates students get, themore accesses they have to be offered good jobs. therefore, students choose towork on certificates, such as cet 4, cet 6 or cap, and so on. secondly, people inwork want to get promotions. companies need professional employees to meet withneed of the company’s development or our society’s development. thirdly, somecollege students, like me, want to live a meaningful and fruitful college life.
从我的角度来看，目的各异。首先，通过考取证书的过程，大学生可以获得更多除他们专业之外的知识和技能。更重要的是，学生们得到的证书越多，他们得到的工作机会也越多。因此，学生们选择的考取证件，如英语4级，6级或会计上岗证等等。其次，人们在工作中需要晋升。公司需要专业的员工来满足公司发展和社会发展的需求。第三，一些大学生，像我一样，想要大学生活过得有意义和丰富。
as far as i am concerned, we should choose to work on proper certificates, so thatwe can save our time to develop our practical ability.
就我而言，我们应该考取恰当的证书，这样我们可以节约时间来培养我们的动手能力。

search answer online
nowadays, internet plays a key role in our life for our various purposes, such as searching useful information or chatting online. however, as more and more people turn to the internet for help with their problems, people begin to take searching answer online seriously.
different people have different opinions. some hold the view that searching answer online can have bad impacts on people. since people can always surf on the internet to find the answers of their questions, they may get accustomed to doing it, and they are getting unwilling to solve problems by themselves. while others think that internet is a helper for people to solve a trouble.
as far as i'm concerned, we shouldn't completely depend on the internet. when we get into troubles, we’d better seek to find solutions. we can take the answer online as an inspiration to solve our questions, but don’t ap* mechanically.
——英语四级作文 (菁华9篇)
图画作文越来越成为英语类考试的新宠，不仅考研英语选取图画作文作为考试的题型，*年来，四六级也采取“看图写作”来作为考查学生的英语书写能力。小编在这里给大家整理了图画作文的`写作技巧，希望可以在考前祝大家一臂之力，顺利通过四六级考试，争取刷新分数记录。
一、图画写作第一步：看图构思，明确立意
纵然卡通图画或者图表是千变万化的，但是其基本特征却是相似的;图画的立意尽管不尽相同，但一定是从图画得出来的。所以，文都郭老师建议大家：准确把握“图画特点”，明确其背后隐藏的深刻含义或寓意。
所有图画的特点可以从以下四个方面去总结：
1、中心事物(可以是人，也可以是物);
2、中心事物所处的状态或所处环境;
3、中心事物的动作;
4、动作的结果。
由此，考生在看完图画后，应该明确四个问题：
1.图上画了什么主要人物或事物
2.他或它处于什么状态或环境下
3.他做了什么事或者它表现了什么样的状态
4.他或它所做的事造成了什么结果
二、图画写作第二步：谋篇布局，三段写作
在看明白图画的立意后，就要可以开始着手写作了。任何应试作文的写作都应从谋篇布局开始，也就是确定文章的整体结构，思考文章分几段、各段该怎么写。建议我们把看图议论文写成三个段落：第一段描述图画，第二段解释寓意，第三段pg官网的解决方案或我的观点。
这次写作考试是一个志愿者的话题，这次考试我们发现还是体现一些特点：
第一，从*几年的考试形式来讲，应该也是属于书信的应用文，这和*几年的四级考试大概趋势是吻合的。从大的趋势来讲，我们考前做的预测，这次考的应用文还是可以从这样一点看出大概的方向，四六级都应该是这样子。
第二，从北京来讲。现在考的是有关暑期志愿者的问题，关于志愿者大家可以写很多，或许是我们过去一年*社会热门话题的一种反映，因为*过去一年*有很多宣扬正气、八荣耻，志愿者这方面应该有所体现。
从这里来看，我们四级写作考试应该也是和*过去一年的国内热门话题相互关联，这一点对以后四级考试写作的准备应该是有一些借鉴意义的。出题背景不离开*过去一年的大环境。
第三点，讲一下书信的难易程度。这次考试应该说既难也不难，考完试以后我和一些考生联系过，考生普遍反应还是不算太难写，原因是话题比较清楚，有三点提纲：
第一，告诉我们学生会将会组织一次暑期的志愿活动，这个志愿活动要招募志愿者。
第二，本次志愿者活动的目的、内容、安排。这三点方向很明确，所以写的时候不用多加思考，把这三点搬过来，这段基本上是完成了，单词量也不会少。

as a product of modern com*r and the internet, online games have become very popular among college students. a great many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games. but as we see, some students lacking self-discipline are too much indulged in these games so that their health and academic performances are affected. this phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.
however, some others argue that online games are not always harmful. they can train the ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly. moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in com*r science. more importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.
from my point of view, online games are a wonderful entertainment if college students play them in a reasonable way. when they interfere too much with their study, it is better for to give them up at once. yet if youngsters have enough self-control over them, they can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.
in recent years, with the increasingly fierce competition, more and more people are bearing great pressure from study, work and life. under great pressure, many people begin to become sad, hopeless and finally suffer from depression.

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.

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.

from the bar chart given above, we can observe that it reflects the statistics of income among people of different educational background. those who possess a doctoral degree earn 1,551dollars median weekly, ranking first among people of other education level. the median weekly earnings of people with associate degree and below can not reach the average of 797 dollars, ranking from 768 dollars to 451 dollars. as for the unemployment rate, 2.5 % of people with doctoral degree will suffer form unemployment. however, the unemployment rate of people with some college, no degree and lower degree surpass the mean value of7.6%, ranking from 8.7% to 14.1%.
the bar chart of education pays reveals a phenomenon that there exits some difference in incomes and unemployment rate among people with different educational level. quite a few reasons can account for this phenomenon: for one thing, with the advancement of technology and the adjustment of industrial structure, quite a few high-tech industries emerge overnight, which leads to a soar demand of workforces with high educational degree, thus, it is natural that graduates with bachelor’ and higher degree get a high pay-packet and enjoy a stable job. additionally, those with educational background under associate degree are easily dismissed and paid by low salary. they can be replaced any time due to the fact that their jobs are easy and can be finished by average people.
definitely, the higher education degree you get, the more likely you are to enjoy a competitive edge in the employment market. thus, the authorities should enforce some policies to ensure the equity of education. only in this way can more people lead a stable and comfortable life.
from the chart above, we can definitely get a conclusion that the more you learned, the higher your salary would be. the figures in the chart denied the claim that knowledge is useless. however quite a few people still hold the opinion that a higher education does no good to a better job since that there are many university students who can not get an ideal job.
what i want to point out is that there is more than one factor that contributes to the failure of finding an ideal job for those who got a higher education. while those who failed to get a better education will hardly succeed in getting a good job because they didn’t get the knowledge systematically and scientifically.
as the proverb goes like this, knowledge is power. education pays, sooner or later.

with the continuous progress of science and technology, great changes have taken place in the way people communicate. the influence of these changes are discussed as follows.
since the reform and opening up, people have been communicating in the following ways: letters, telegrams, telephone and mobile phones. after entering the 21st century, the appearance of smart phones has brought great changes. first of all, there is no denying that the change of communication mode has brought great convenience to people. smart phones enabled video communication, and online shopping became popular after its appearance. second, however, it also brought a lot of adverse effects. for example, the emergence of smart phones have made many people addicted to the virtual world, which not only delayed their study and work, but also affected their family harmony.
in a word, it is inevitable that the development of science and technology will change the way of communication, which will bring a lot of influence to people’s life. we need to take advantage of the convenience of these changes, but we also need to learn to overcome their disadvantages. in this way, we can enjoy life better.
along with the development of the society, people’s views on many * have been changed greatly. in the past, multiple problems existed in school education and family education. but nowadays, so many things have been totally different.
as for school education, the schools traditionally adopted exam-oriented mode regarding the students’ education and failed to pay much attention to other aspects, like quality education. however, this has been altered. the schools have made great efforts to promote all-around development of students, aiming to cultivate more excellent talents. meanwhile, referring to home education, many children were forced to attend many interest-oriented classes that they hated, making them bear so much extra burden. but now, a large number of parents have changed their mind, for example, they encourage their children to choose the interest-oriented class, and endow more freedom to them.
all in all, lots of changes have taken place in school education and family education. i believe that in the future plenty of things will be better than now, including the current education.
with the continuous progress of science and technology, great changes have taken place in the way people live.this progress has brought great convenience to people. nonetheless, it has also made many people lazy.
first, the widespread use of internet technology, especially smart phones, allows people to know what is happening outside without going out. people just need to pick up a mobile phone, connect to the internet, and open the corresponding software, then the major eventsof the world will be caught in their eyes.they no longer have to open books and newspapers or go out to get information. second, the appearance of takeaways has also made people lazier. people can get whatever they want to eat without cooking for themselves or even getting up to go to a restaurant. in addition, online shopping is more enjoyable for people. many people forgo the tiring activity of going to the mall, instead, they lie in the sofa and just move their fingers. therefore, the decline in exercise has left many people in declining health.
to sum up, the ever-changing technology brings convenience to people, but it also makes people lazy.consequently, while improving the quality of life, people should learn to use science and technology correctly instead of relying on it blindly.

"runner fan", nickname of fan meizhong, who ran out of the classroom leaving his students behind during the may 12 earthquake, has caused a controversy concerning traditional chinese values. many people regard his action as wrong and a direct violation of teachers responsibility and i would have to agree with them.
firstly, it is the responsibility of a teacher to protect his students safety by law. being concerned solely fol his own life and leaving his students behind while fleeing violates the spirit of the law. in an emergency, each teacher is responsible for the direct supervision of his students. furthermore, it will be of great help if they can direct the evacuation of their students to designated assembly areas in accordance with warning signals and written notification. it is out of the question that they should not remain with their students until rescue crews arrive. secondly, teachers act as a role model for their students. the compulsory education law does stipulate that “a teacher should be a model of virtue for others and should be devoted to the education of the people." teachers not only teach students how to think, but also how to behave to support others in society. fleeing the classroom and leaving the students behind in an emergency sets a bad example for students.
to conclude, teachers are responsible for students safety in an emergency. teachers are expected to demonstrate responsible behaviour and they ought to be specifically trained to deal with emergency situations. (248 words)
