for one human being to love another human being is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us — the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation. that is why young people, who are beginners in everything, are not yet capable of love: it is something they must learn. with their whole being, with all the

英语作文范文:

My Thoughts on the University Arts Festival

For our universitys arts festival, I think that the university should hold open competitions and auditions for anyone who wants to take part in the festivals exhibitions and performances. This would not only increase general interest in and appreciation for the arts, but would also be a good way for our university to show its support for the arts.

This arts festival is an excellent opportunity to remind everyone that arts are important for everyone to appreciate and take part in, regardless of major.

I think that there should be general, open auditions and competitions in all the major arts. There should be categories for painting and sculpture; classical, folk and modem dance; and instrumental and choral groups, both large and small. The judges should be joint committees made up of both faculty and Students, both experts in the field and novices. Arranging the festival in this way will, I believe, give our student body a greater enjoyment of the arts, a break from studies and a fuller appreciation for what it means to be human.

As it is known, when we are in high school, we all have a constant goal that is to get the entrance to college, and hard work is out of question for the following. So we gain the notice to college finally which we often dream of in the nights, which proves a proverb that the god doesnt live up to someone who spends time and efforts, please memorize the sentence for good.

Of course one day we went to college in August or September happily and proudly, but at the same time something happened that it made your heart pounding fiercely, by the way, that is love for many college students. And then they miss the directions and their selves as well for their lives. Next I am to express that I am neutral for falling in love in college, however I have some ideas to illustrate of my own.

Firstly, if you are passers-by, I think we will find a lot about several couples of boyfriends and girlfriends under the dorms or dim corners or in the classes without anybody for close postures, as youngsters, it is normal without asking cause about that. Secondly, even worth mentioning is that many young boys and girls couldnt attend classes and courses instead of traveling to some sceneries and sight places or doing other things only to turn out them loved each other temporarily. Thirdly, especially to most of freshmen, please dont be influenced by the phenomenon that a number of students who finds anther half called by them selves proudly, because I think persons are different from each other, different characters, backgrounds and aims. But there is one point to obey if you actually want to have an attempt the feeling for love at first sight: it is , whenever you and I am, the learning and the work is the most principle rather than love is the first and work second, for we arent children and teenagers anymore, in the future society needs a comprehensive qualifications, profound and extensive knowledge persons, meanwhile in college you are in the state of half foot to society which time is a most important process to exercise and experience before stepping to complicated and complex society, and therefore we are supposed to spend much time in learning instead.

What are mentioned above are only my opinions, believing that others have more perfect for falling in love in college.If you are falling love with somebody in college right now,please do yourself to be a excelent college student.

as our contemporary society develops dramatically, a worrying problem has sprung up that the degree of trust among individuals has decreased。 for example, when we meet a man begging for money due to his handicapped leg in the street, we are considering whether he is cheating us。 plus, in the business circle, we consumers couldn’t easily believe what the merchant has guaranteed。

all these problems mentioned above are reduced to adverse consequences。 especially, in the corporate world exists the prevalence of dishonesty。 influenced by these phenomena, we, invariably, become increasing cautious about other’s guarantee, even a piece of word。 thus, this trend does much harm to the commodity economy。

the underlying reason for these phenomena is the distorted mentality of money worship。 there are an army of figures expect getting by with cheating customers by selling fake products。 but, they would inevitably suffer penalty。 so, honesty counts most。 to sum up, we, average citizens, can eliminate the feeling of distrust via treating others honestly and paying confidence to others。

篇4:大学生英语演讲稿:Change--改变

全文共 2111 字

+ 加入清单

Leo Tolstoy once said, everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

He is right. We always have great plans and dreams in our minds… too ready to achieve something grand thatChanges the world or benefits all of mankind .For example; we hate pollution and have made up our minds to find new energy sources that keep the environment clean. Yet we still litter on the ground. We complain about traffic jams, so we plan to build more highways to solve the problem, but it never occurs to us that our failure to follow traffic regulations is the leading cause of this situation. We are so concerned that the violence in the media has a bad impact on our children, we urge the government to set laws to protect them. But, do we, as adults, set a good example for our kids? We use nasty words and even spit on the ground in front of them, I dare to say, we harm more!

In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we had better change ourselves first. As ordinary individuals, we do not have the power to change the world. But we can change our habit of littering, spitting, cussing, we can respect the environment around us, we must act as good models for our kids.

If each of us does all of these little things, all of us, millions and millions of individuals together, together we will be strong …strong enough to change our world!

So please, the next time you do something, think how your actions influence not only you, but those around you too, especially our children …and perhaps more importantly…our planet!

列夫·托尔斯泰曾说过:每个人都想改变这个世界,但是没有人想到改变自己。

他说的很有道理,我们每个人都心怀伟大时志向,时刻准备去干一番能造福全人类的大事业。比如,我们痛恨环境污染,所以我们下定决心去开发新的更高效更干净的能源来保护我们的环境,但是同时我们却随手乱扔垃圾;我们抱怨大城市的交通堵塞,计划造更多的高速路来解决交通问题,但是我们从来没有想过,如果我们能遵守交通规则话,那么这一问题是不是可以得到很大得缓解呢?我们担心电视电影里面得暴力会对我们得孩子产生不良的影响,于是我们敦促政府通过立法来保护未成年人,但是我们这些大人又做得怎么样呢?我们为我们的下一代做好了表率吗?我们说粗话,甚至在孩子面前抽烟。不客气地说,我们对孩子的不良影响更多!

在我看来,在我们打算改变这个世界之前,我们最好先改变一下自己。作为一个普通人,我们其实没有改变这个世界的能力,但是我可以改变我们随地扔垃圾,随地吐痰的坏习惯, 我们应该学会去保护环境,我们应该为我们的孩子起好的表率作用。

如果我们每个人都能从小事起,那么千千万万个人力量汇聚在一起,那力量是强大的,足以改变这个世界。

朋友,当您在做某一件事情的时候,请您想一想,您的行为会对您周围的人产生怎样的影响, 因为,您的行为不单单影响到您自己,还有您周围的人,更重要的是我们的孩子…甚至我们的世界。

I think as a marketing manager, besides should have some marketing knowledge, but also should have good communication and coordination ability, can hard-working, good team spirit, pay attention to occupation moral. As a squad leader, I organized all kinds of activities in the class for three years. Through the organization of these activities, improve their ability to organize and coordinate, and strengthen the sense of teamwork. At the same time, I also fully realize that the individuals ability is limited after all, only through teamwork, brainstorming, and learn from each other, can we better complete the work. If this time I was fortunate to marketing manager, I want to build a platform for, yet the rigorous work in a relaxed atmosphere and their colleagues, we can cooperate with each other, with good team spirit.

At the same time, I think marketing is also a kind of service. Since it is a kind of service, we should make everyone satisfied and do it with enthusiasm and sincerity. Passion, the indispensable element in our work, is the motivation that pushes us to innovate and devote ourselves to work. With passion and a sense of self - challenge, I believe I can do the job.

EVEN by the standards of the worst financial crisis for at least a generation, the events of Sunday Spetember14th and the day before were extraordinary. The weekend began with hopes that a deal could be struck, with or without government backing, to save Lehman Brothers, America’s fourth-largest investment bank. It ended with Lehman’s set for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and the bank preparing to wind itself up after those efforts failed. Other vulnerable financial giants scrambled to sell themselves or raise enough capital to stave off a similar fate. Merrill Lynch, the third-biggest investment bank, sold itself to Bank of America (BofA), an erstwhile Lehman suitor, in a $50 billion all-stock deal. American International Group (AIG) brought forward a potentially life-saving overhaul and went cap-in-hand to the Federal Reserve.

即使以至少一代人所经历的最坏的金融危机的标准来看,上周六及周日(9月14日)的事件仍是非同寻常的。那个周末开始于拯救美国第四大投行雷曼兄弟的交易有望达成,无论有或者没有政府的支持。然而却以雷曼兄弟的所有努力均告失败后,根据美国破产法案第11章申请破产保护而告终。其它脆弱的金融巨头同样努力地将自己卖出或是筹集足够的资金以避免与雷曼相同的命运。第三大投行美林以500亿美元全额换股交易将自己卖给了以前雷曼的收购者–美国银行。美国国际集团(AIG)正在提出一个潜在的挽救重整方案,并且毕恭毕敬地照美联储脸色行事。

On Sunday night the situation was still fluid, with bankers and regulators working to limit the fallout. They were girding themselves for a dreadful Monday in the markets. Australia’s stockmarket opened sharply lower on Monday (most other Asian bourses were closed). American stock futures were deep in the red too, and the dollar weaker. Spreads on risky credit, already elevated, widened further.

在周日晚上,形势仍然非常不明朗。银行家们和监管者都在努力减小这次事件的辐射影响。他们准备应付非常糟糕的”黑色星期一”。澳大利亚股市周一大幅低开(其它大多数亚洲股票交易所都停牌了)。美国股指期货下跌非常厉害,同时美元汇率也走低。已经很高的信贷风险的息差变得更高。

Nowadays, seat reservation in college has been brought to our attention as some students in campus always save a seat for a long time. Although it is a small action, it brings some influences to students’ lives and campus construction.

目前,在高校里占座位已引起了大家的注意,因为有些学生在校园总是霸占一个位置很久。虽然这是一个小小的举动,它给学生的生活和校园建设带来了一些影响。

There are some influences caused by seat reservation. First, seat reservation brings inconvenience to other students. This situation is quite common in library when all students are preparing the final exams. Due to seat reservation, other students have to spend more time to find their seats than usual. Second, it will give rise to crony phenomenon to a large extent. Those who have already known the difficulty in finding seats will copy after the bad behavior to save a seat. And this increases the difficulty in finding seats finally. Last but not least, seat reservation has also brought some inconvenience to school management. In order to save the seat, students will leave something like books or clothes on the desks. And that is quite inconvenient for cleaners to clean the classroom and library as well as influence the image of school.

占位置造成了一定的影响。首先,占位置给其他同学带来不便。在所有的学生都准备期末考试的时候,这种情况在图书馆是很常见的。由于占位置,其他学生就得花比平时更多的时间来找到一个位置。 第二,在很大程度上它会引起裙带现象。那些知道找座位困难的学生会效仿这种不好的行为也去占一个位置。这让找到座位变得更加困难。最后但并非最不重要的,占座位也给学校管理人员带来了一些不便。为了占位置,学生会把书或衣服之类的东西留在桌子上。这为清洁阿姨打扫卫生造成了很大的不便而且还影响学校形象。

Taking above influence into account, I advocate that the institutions and students should make joint efforts to eliminate this phenomenon. For one thing, the institutions should take some measures such as cleaning the things on the desks or chairs every day so that no one would leave things on them. For another, students should be well informed to forbid saving seats.

综上述影响考虑,我建议学校机构和学生应共同努力来消除这种现象。一方面,学校要采取一些措施,如每天清理放在桌子或椅子上的东西的,这样就没有人会把东西放在桌子或者椅子上面了。另一方面,学生应该被告知禁止占位置。

If I Rest, I Rust

The significant inscription found on an old key - "If I rest, I rust." - would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息,我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说,这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示:如果一个人有才能而不用,就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样,这些才能就会很快生锈,并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gates that guard entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture-every department of human endeavor.

有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就,他们就必须不断运用自身才能,以便开启知识的大门,即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门,这些领域包括各种职业:科学,艺术,文学,农业等。

Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in quarry had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his " moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, had allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside, instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never become a famous,astronomer.

勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休·米勒在采石场劳作一天后,晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话,他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家爱德蒙·斯通如果闲暇时无所事事,就不会出版数学词典,也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时,让他,那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态,而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置,他就不会成为著名的天文学家。

Labor vanquish all-not inconstant, spasmodic or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, So is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的,间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动,而是坚定的,不懈的,方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样,要想取得伟大的,持久的成功,就必须坚持不懈地努力。

When we read newspapers, our attention is always attracted by increasing

unemployment rate in young graduates who are leaving college. In my opinion,

there are many causes for this disquieting phenomenon and we should try to solve

the problem.

Most companies would rather employ a low-educational specialized worker

than a this-years graduate from a well-known university. For companies, they are

more likely to choose the candidates with rich working experience. Apparently

enough, the training for young graduates usually costs them a large quantity of

time and money. In addition, the current education system brings on a lot of

bookworms who are adept in theoretical but not practical knowledge. Therefore,

it is hard for those graduates to complete the practical assignments

successfully and smoothly. This is one major reason why many graduates find it

to find suitable jobs.

An un-mandatory retirement age is another factor leading to the youth

unemployment for college graduates. Along with the improving of working

efficiency, proficient employees with rich and extensive working experience get

retired at a much later age. In this case, for young graduates, there are fewer

chances to get access to the jobs taken up by the older and more

experienced.

关于大学生兼职的英语作文:

Taking a Part-Time Job

Nowadays, many people think that college students should take a part-time job for several advantages. For one thing, it gives the students a chance to know the society to learn to be independent. For another, they can also get financial reward and working experience as well, which is helpful to their growth. Whats more, they can put what they have learned into practice, and know their strong and weak points so that they can improve their studies and personalities, which are beneficial in their later lives.

However, still many people think taking part-time job may have some negative effects on students. In their opinions, it will take them much time and energy, and will affect their studies as a result. Whats worse, some students may be so keen on making money that they may neglect their studies in the end.

In my opinion, I am in favor of taking a part-time job. But we have to keep a balance between the job and the study. After all, study is our main task at school.

关于大学生宿舍安全问题:

Campus Security

Campus security has been a big topic many people pay great attention to. Students fight,injury and being robbed can be heard of from time to time.Some students have fights with each other,some are injured unexpetedly,some students belongings such as ,bikes and cell phones are stolen.Whats more,some students are extorted money by the bad boys in society.

What has caused these problemsIn my opinion,the reasons are as follow.First of all,students nowadays have less awareness of law.They cant tell what is legal and what is not.Second,schools dont have a good management. People in society can enter them easily.These people go into the campus,stealing and fighting.

But how to solve the problemsWe should strengthen the education on law in school,letting the students know what is right and what is not.Were supposed to place great emphasis on campus management.Only students can go into the campus and people in society can not without permission. I hope our campus is a safe and peaceful place for us to learn.

有关大学生结婚问题:

Since September this year, the college students are now allowed to get married in campus, which is declared officially by the National Education Bureau. The results of this issue take a broad influence on the colleges, even on the whole society. Some are in favor of it while some are against it. Whether college students should be allowed to set up a family has become a hot topic to be fiercely argued from then on.

Some believe it is reasonable for college students to select marriage in campus. Firstly, the college students have reached the national legal ages. Secondly, suppose two students are fall in love with each other. Is it necessary for them to struggle to avoid marriage until graduationThe couples are supposed to help each other, love each other and conduct the harmonious little family on their own. All the matters they are faced with will not only help them taste sweet produced by family but also get to know the hardness to sustain a family. Furthermore, college students are usually to be found living together. Such behavior has no difference from those done

after marriage. We should rather legalize such behavior than put aside them to happen secretly. However, some think it more negative than positive for college students to get married on campus. In their opinion, the college students, especially male students, are too young to be likely to shoulder the burdens brought by family and take the relative responsibility. On the other hand, it is showed by study that the devoice rate of those who get married early is much higher than that of those who get married late or at right time. Such high devoice rate is mainly due to the less consideration taken before marriage, even being a totally prompt impulse to some extent. Some stubborn problem appears gradually after marriage, which leads to the mutual discontents between couples and end up in devoice as a solution.

It that case, I think, with more supports from parents and society, we can cope with study and love more intellectually if we ideally balance the positive and the negative caused by marriage on campus.

关于大学生就业问题:

Today’s college students face choices unheard of years ago. Terms like two way selection, self-employment are not new to them. Many students swarm (蜂拥) into job market or look every talent fair (人才交流会) for potential employers. The concept of selling (推销) oneself rather than hiding oneself is well accepted by students.

Hunting a job is no small matter. Instead, it is probably one of the most, if not the most, important decisions any of would-be graduates can make in a lifetime. Therefore, they are very serious and cautious when that time comes. It is something that the society has taught them.Now more and more students lose their jobs when they graduate from school. Its easy for some students to find work. But the fact is that some students think the salary is so low that they dont want to do the job, they except to find an easy work with a higher salary. Like the reason above,some jobs have nobody to do it ,but somebody is free with no job.

As the job market gets shrinking, it has also become a must for undergraduates (在校本科生)to work harder than before to keep their competitive edge (保持竞争地位). More students are engaged in their studies with no distractions (分心,干扰). They are investing today for a promising (大有希望的,前途无量的) tomorrow.

As far as Im concerned, those students who want to find a higher salary but have no better job to do should be do an easy work from basic.Work hard on ,I believe through their hardworking theyll get a better job soon.

When the Arctic Ocean freezes over in the autumn, polar bears set off in search of their favorite meals: fatty ringed seals and bearded seals. By the summer, the sea ice begins to melt and break apart. Deprived of access to the tasty seals, polar bears spend the summer fasting. At least, thats whats supposed to happen. As the planet warms, the warmer ice-free season is getting longer and longer. So whats a hungry bear to do?

Scientists once thought that polar bears might survive by supplementing their pinniped diet by turning to terrestrial foods like snow geese, their eggs and caribou.

"Weve had this debate in the literature about whether terrestrial foods are nutritionally relevant to polar bears during the on-land season when the ice has melted."

University of Alberta biologist Nick Pilfold.

"And weve known for a long time, going back to research in the early 70s, even going to back to early explorer logs, that polar bears will consume terrestrial based foods. But the debate was always whether those foods actually add up, energetically." In other words, do these substitutes provide enough nutrition to make up for the lost seals?

To find out, Pilfold and his colleagues estimated the weight lost each day by polar bears in the wilds of western Hudson Bay during the ice-free season, when they could ostensibly be chowing down on terrestrial foods. Then they compared that to the weight lost by bears that are temporarily held in Manitobas Polar Bear Alert Program.

While captive, the bears do not eat. They drop about one kilogram each day. But the wild bears, who had access to the Arctic snack bar, lost the same amount of weight each day. The results are in the journal Physiological and Biochemical Zoology.

"Which is really saying that the terrestrial foods do not have dense enough energy to offset the mass loss. So this idea that bears can just switch from eating sea ice–based food to land food and thats going to help supplement against longer ice-free seasons, that really doesnt show up in the data."

The problem is that polar bears evolved to rely on the marine diet.

"The food on land is protein and carbohydrate based, and the food the polar bears really focus on is fat. Fat is the name of the game for these bears; theyre highly adapted to absorbing that fat into their system and putting it onto their body as body mass, so they can fast on it later on. And the only thing thats going to provide them with that type of fat are marine mammals. And they can only access those marine mammals when theres sea ice."

Adult males can go eight months without food. But younger, sub-adult bears, which are no longer nursing and must hunt, cant last as long without sea ice. So as the Arctic warms, younger polar bears will disproportionately die out. Leaving the species survival in doubt.

北冰洋在秋季结冰以后,北极熊就会出发去寻求它们最喜欢的食物:富含脂肪的海豹和胡子海豹。海冰在夏季开始融化断裂。这使北极熊在夏季无法吃到美味的海豹,所以它们进入禁食期。至少,情况应该是这样。但是由于地球变暖,温暖的无冰季节越来越长。那饥饿的北极熊要怎么办?

科学家曾经认为,北极熊可能会转向陆地上的食物来补充它们对鳍足类动物饮食的需求,进而生存下去,这些陆地食物包括雪雁、雪雁蛋和北美驯鹿。

“文献中有过这类辩论,即在寒冷融化时陆地食物是否能满足北极熊的营养需求。”

尼克·皮尔福德是加拿大阿尔伯塔大学的生物学家。

“通过上世纪70年代初的研究,还有早期的探险者日志,我们很早以前就知道,北极熊会以陆地食物为食。但是辩论的焦点在于,这些食物是否能增加北极熊的能量。”换句话说,这些替代食物能否为北极熊提供足够的营养,弥补不能进食海豹带来的损失?

为了解开这个疑惑,皮尔福德及同事对西哈德逊湾荒野地区的北极熊在无冰季期间每天失掉的体重进行了估算,从表面上看,北极熊在这段时间食用了陆地食物。随后,他们将这一数据与通过马尼托巴北极熊预警计划暂时捕得的北极熊所失掉的体重进行了对比。

在被关期间,北极熊不吃东西。它们的体重每天大约下降1公斤。虽然野生北极熊能享用北极“小吃”,但是它们的体重每天也同样会下降1公斤。这一研究结果发表在《生理学和生化动物学》期刊上。

“显然结果表明,陆地食物不能为北极熊提供足以抵消大量损失的能量。所以,北极熊可以从食用海冰下面的食物转向食用陆地食物,并帮助它们对抗日益延长的无冰季这个观点,并没有在这项数据中得到证明。”

问题是,北极熊进化成了依靠海洋食物的动物。

“陆地食物以蛋白质和碳水化合物为基础,而北极熊需要的食物以脂肪为主。脂肪是这些熊真正需要的东西;它们高度适应的情况是,将脂肪吸收进它们的系统中,然后把这些脂肪放在身上以增加体重,这样它们之后就可以依靠这些脂肪来度过禁食期。唯一能提供给北极熊这种脂肪的就是海洋哺乳动物。但是它们只能在有海冰时食用到这些海洋哺乳动物。”

成年北极熊可以8个月不进食。但是小一些的未成年北极熊已经不再被哺育,它们必须要去猎食,可是它们不能在漫长的无冰季期间一直不进食。所以,随着北极地区变暖,较小的北极熊将会大批死亡。这使这些物种的生存成为问题。

篇15:论美国金融危机的影响

全文共 861 字

+ 加入清单

此次美国金融风暴说明,过度超前消费的美国模式难以为继。在此次金融动荡中,美国华人遭受的直接损失较小,就是中国人抱持传统的“量入为出”观念,可以说,中国式谨慎理财作风再次显现价值。

10月1日夜,几经周折的救市案终于在参院投票过关,可以料想,在接下来的众院投票中,这个法案也会通过——哪怕它是碗毒药,美国经济现在也需要饮鸩止渴。

救市案出台如此艰难,是因为已经触及美国人的信心底线:7000亿投下去美国经济能有起色吗?救市到底是救华尔街的金融巨头?还是救主街的平民百姓?还是如果华尔街的贪婪无度被纵容,民众还要付出多少代价?

金融危机发展到现在,风险已经从房屋市场,扩展到股票,扩展到保险业,乃至普通的储户和贷款人了。华尔街发明出各种令人眼花缭乱的金融衍生工具,透过种种杠杆,金融机构似乎可以无限创造信用,玩所谓钱生钱的把戏。然而,这些手段或可促进投资回报率,却无助于真正的财富增长。除了华尔街高管的薪酬能够按照他们画的饼那样飞速增长,老百姓的收入并没有暴增。

中国银监会主席刘明康对此也有一个比喻,他在上周末天津举办的达沃斯夏季论坛上指出,7000亿只是快餐,暂时填肚子,真正需要的是精心烹调的中国式美味。他称中国的监管经验值得学习。刘明康此次尖锐批评美国金融监管,指其“非常荒唐”引外界侧目。但与其这说是中美监管体系的差异(中国金融业的漏洞何其多),不如说是消费模式、乃至民族传统的差异。

当美国金融业遇到危机时,中国式谨慎理财作风再次显现价值。在美国的华人对此有切身体会,在金融动荡中,华人遭受的直接损失较小。比如房价,9月30日刚刚公布的20城市住房指数下跌了16。3%,创历史之最;但华人社区的房价则基本稳定,有的还有微升。在全美法拍屋的浪潮中,华人所占比例也很小。这是因为华人很少过度依赖贷款,购买房屋通常是在自己的经济实力允许的范围内。在股市、保险和其他金融产品方面,华人遭受损失也较小,因为对风险过高的产品涉及不多。说到底,就是中国人抱持传统的“量入为出”观念,即便在美国这个崇尚消费的社会中,依然进行着自我风险调控。

Directions:

Study the following two pie charts carefully and write an essay entitled The Changes in College Students’Ways of Spending Vacations. In this essay you should:

(1) interpret college student’s ways of spending vacations in 1980 and2004,

(2) analyze possible reasons for the change, and

(3) your comments about the change.

You should write 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

As is clearly shown by the two pie charts, from 1980 to 2004 the students who go traveling and do social practices during vacations increase greatly while those who stay at home decrease a lot. For instance, in 1980, only 9% of the students took advantage of their vacation time to do social practice, but its percentage has been more than tripled in 2004. Obviously, great changes have taken place in the way that college students spend their vacations.

Considering these changes, we can find there are possibly three main reasons. Firstly, with the fast development of economy, many people have become rich, which makes it possible for more students to go traveling. Most parents tend to support their children to travel financially. Secondly, the reason lies in the fact that the boom of tourism has made traveling attractive and, also, modem transportation has made it easier for students to go out to travel. The travel agencies not only provide historic sightseeing but also cultural as well as educational tour around China. What is more important, the fast changing society has raised higher requirements for college graduates. The authorities of Chinese university or college have been encouraging their students to do social practices in the hope that college students would broaden their view to know more about the society and become more adaptable to the future work after they graduate. Therefore, more students go out traveling or doing social practices during the vacations.

As a college student, I think the charts reflect the exciting progress on the college students’ thinking patterns. We have become much mature to realize how to spend our vacations meaningfully and practically. Form the changes in the charts, it is easy for us to predict that more and more college students will walk out their home and throw themselves into more various vacation activities.

With the spread of the consciousness of environmental protection, the word “low-carbon” has been very popular in life. We can find it in many aspects, such as low-carbon products, low-carbon consumption, and low-carbon travel and so on. Generally speaking, more and more people are advocating “low-carbon” lifestyle.

随着环境保护意识的传播,“低碳这个词在生活中变得很受欢迎。在许多方面都可以找到它,如低碳产品,低碳消费,低碳旅游等。总之,越来越多人提倡“低碳”生活方式。

As implied in the name, “low-carbon” lifestyle is a kind of new pattern of lifestyle which aims to lowering the carbon dioxide emission in living as much as possible. For example, some office workers are not proud of driving private cars from work to home any more but pride themselves on riding or taking public transportation. In addition, they advocate recycling water and saving energy as much as they can.

就像名字暗示的那样,“低碳”的生活方式,是一种旨在尽量降低生活中二氧化碳排放量的新型生活方式。例如,一些上班族不再以开私家车上班回家自豪,而是骑车或乘坐公共交通工具而感到骄傲。此外,他们提倡循环用水,尽可能多的节约能源。

As college students, we also make some contribution in our daily life to reduce the emission of the carbon dioxide. For example, switch off the light when leaving and save water. In addition, we should use our knowledge and action to arouse others’ concern about the importance of lowering emission of carbon dioxide and lead them to lead a “low-carbon” life.

作为大学生,在日常生活中我们也做了一些贡献来减少二氧化碳的排放。例如,在离开的时候关灯,节约用水。而且,我们应该利用我们的知识,采取行动来引起别人对降低二氧化碳排放的重要性的关注并引导他们过“低碳生活”。

A triple bacon cheeseburger seems like a heart attack on a plate.

三层奶酪咸肉汉堡感觉吃完很容易让人突发心脏病。

So how can polar bears thrive on their version, seal blubber?

那么,北极熊是如何处理这些高热量食物的呢?

Turns out theyve stocked up on genes that let them clear fats from their blood.

结果显示它们储存在遗传基因里的信息使得它们能够清除血脂。

Thats according to a study in the journal Cell.

这是根据《细胞》杂志上的一篇研究得出的结论。

Polar bears are well adapted to life on the sea ice.

北极熊非常适应在浮冰上的生活。

Up to half their body weights fat, which gives them extra insulation and buoyancy, and provides them with a ready source of energy.

几乎占它们身重一半的脂肪足以使它们保暖并且维持体力,提供给它们一种易转化的能量。

But how can an animal so fat also be so fit?

但一种动物怎么能又胖又健康?

Researchers compared the genomes of polar bears with those of brown bears, and found that polar bears have accumulated genetic changes that boost their heart health and fat metabolism.

研究人员们通过比较北极熊和棕熊的基因,发现北极熊的基因组中积累了不少有利于心脏健康和脂肪代谢的遗传突变。

One gene in particular, called ApoB, helps move cholesterol out of the blood—where it causes problems in humans—and into cells.

特别是编码为载脂蛋白B的基因有助于清除血液中对人类有害的胆固醇转变成细胞代谢。

These genomic changes happened quickly, evolutionarily speaking.

Polar bears and brown bears diverged from a common ancestor less than half a million years ago.

北极熊和棕熊都来自于同一个祖先,它们是在大约50万年前左右开始向不同分支进化。

But if that seems super speedy, the ability to digest lactose didnt spread through human populations until we domesticated cows, just 10,000 years ago.

但是如果这种变化看上去十分快速的话,消化乳糖的酶逐渐进化到人类各个种群中也还是发生在大概1万年前我们可以驯化乳牛之后。
