Nowadays playing computer games is a very common hobbies, especially among young people and teenagers. However there are many arguements on whether computer games are advantageous to people or not.

Although many people doubt the advantages of computer games, if used wisely computer games can actually be used in educational purposes, for example typing games to allow students to learn typing English or Chinese. Also another advantage of computer game is that the games may be played together among friends or family members, which may improve the relationship between family members and allow parents to know more about their children on their hobbies and interests.

However computer games if misused can also have very bad effects on human beings. Firstly spending long time in front of the computer screen will bring to various health problems, such as eye sore, back pain and headache. Also if people spend too much time on computer games rather than the work they should do, for example school work for students and projects and presentations for employees, it may have bad effects on their real life and social life status.

It is true for everything that it is beneficial if used wisely, therefore although computer games are widely said to be bad for people, it can still be used as a good tool if used wisely.

I am a third year master major in automation at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, P.R.China.

With tremendous interest in Industrial Engineering, I am writing to apply for acceptance into your Ph.D.graduate program.In 1995, I entered the Nanjing University of Science & Technology (NUST) -- widely considered one of the China’s best engineering schools.

During the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among the whole department.

I was granted First Class Prize every semester, and my overall GPA(89.5/100) ranked No.

1 among 113 students.

In 1999, I got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission test.

I selected the Shanghai Jiao Tong University to continue my study for its best reputation on Combinatorial Optimization and Network Schedu ling where my research interest lies.

At the period of my graduate study, my overall GPA(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5% in the department.

In the second semester, I became teacher assistant that is given to talented and matured students only.

This year, I won the Acer Scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university.

Presently, I am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of Excellent Graduation Thesis.

Research experience and academic activity，When a sophomore, I joined the Association of AI Enthusiast and began to narrow down my interest for my future research.

In 1997, I participated in simulation tool development for the schedu ling system in Prof.

Wang’s lab.

With the tool of OpenGL and Matlab, I designed a simulation program for transportation schedu ling system.

It is now widely used by different research groups in NUST.

In 1998, I assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for Nanjing sewage treatment plant.

This was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.

In 1999, I joined the distinguished Professor Yu-Geng Xis research group aiming at Network flow problem solving and Heuristic algorithm research.

Soon I was engaged in the FuDan Gene Database Design.

My duty was to pick up the useful information among different kinds of gene matching format.

Through the comparison and analysis for many heuristic algorithms, I introduced an improved evolutionary algorithm -- Multi-population Genetic Algorithm.

By dividing a whole population into several sub-populations, this improved algorithm can effectively prevent GA from local convergence and promote various evolutionary orientations.

It proved more efficiently than SGA in experiments, too.

In the second semester, I joined the workshop-schedu ling research in Shanghai Heavy Duty Tyre plant.

The schedu ling was designed for the rubber-making process that covered not only discrete but also continuous circumstances.

To make a balance point between optimization quality and time cost, I proposed a Dynamic Layered Schedu ling method based on hybrid Petri Nets.

The practical application showed that the average makespan was shortened by a large scale.

I also publicized two papers in core journals with this idea.

Recently, I am doing research in the Composite Predict of the Electrical Power system assisted with the technology of Data Mining for Bao Steel.

I try to combine the Decision Tree with Receding Optimization to provide a new solution for the Composite Predictive Problem.

This project is now under construction.

Besides, In July 2000, I got the opportunity to give a lecture in English in Asia Control Conference (ASCC) which is one of the top-level conferences among the world in the area of control and automation.

In my senior year, I met Prof.

Xiao-Song Lin, a visiting professor of mathematics from University of California-Riverside, I learned graph theory from him for my network research.

These experiences all rapidly expanded my knowledge of English and the understanding of western culture.

I hope to study in depth .

In retrospect, I find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and experience, which has prepared me for the Ph.D.program.

My future research interests include: Network Schedu ling Problem, Heuristic Algorithm research (especially in GA and Neural network), Supply chain network research, Hybrid system performance analysis with Petri nets and Data Mining.

Please give my application materials a serious consideration.

Thank you very much.

after that, i took some of my tutor"s advice and previewed the lesson that i’ll learn. what’s more, in every class, i just try my best to say as much as possible. now,i can only remember it"s a really hard time. what’s worse, i had to go to my high school and went there at the same time.

after several weeks, i began to get used to the atmosphere in web .at least i"m not afraid to speak in front of my tutor and foreign teachers.

during web’s period,i found i had improved a lot, both physically and mentally. for example, how to be a confident person, how to plan for my future. and the most important is that i have learnt how to communicate with others, which is a necessary skill. nowadays studying is not the only thing that we high school students should do, there are some more important things we have ignored.

first, i am grateful for my parents. they have spent so much money for me, but never ask for anything in return. i really know how hard it is to work on such living conditions.

now it"s time to introduce my tutor sally. it was she that led me to the right studying here. it was she that helped me deal with all kinds of annoying things. also there are some other teachers that i appreciate, especially laura and anita. of course, i like to take foreign teachers" classes. anyway, thanks all of you!

i know i am young; there is a long way in my life. i have to face the difficulties and solve them by myself. but i know i must keep on my dream, i agree that if you put your mind to, you can accomplish anything.

i know i"m not the best ,but i"m the most diligent one。i hope you can remember me ,an ordinary boy.

我家有一只小狗，名叫点点，今年三岁，毛色是浅黄色的，非常讨人喜欢，点点的鼻子黑黑的，长得及小，它天生有一种傲慢的性格。

点点是一只金毛。还记的2007年冬天，正下着鹅毛大雪，它的母亲把它生下来，一个月以后我去姥姥家把它抱了回来，但它分外的小，它就是两斤左右，点点在我家生活了一年左右，因为我家没有黄土，点点的大小便也成了一个问题，无奈之下妈妈不得不把它寄存在姥姥家，点点刚走的的那几天，我无时无刻不在想它，干什么事都无精打彩，时间久了，我也渐渐淡忘了。

至从有一天，妈妈说：好久没去姥姥家了，今天去看看吧，这使我猛的想起了被我遗忘的好朋友点点，吃过午饭，我们去了姥姥家，一见面，我还差点没有认出，当初像“豆芽形”的小狗，现在却长得又粗又高，看起来威风凛凛的，鼻子上也有一点淡淡的红色，显得格外精神。

在回家的路上，我想了许久，为什么当初的小狗到了姥姥家就长大了?也吃胖了呢?我想是因为姥姥家的饭很合它的胃口吧。呵呵，我家的小点点可爱吧。

Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.

In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.

Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.

许多野生动物正面临灭绝的危险，因为它们生活的环境已经发生了巨大的变化。例如，随着城市的发展，杀虫剂的使用和严重的污染，他们的生活区域变得越来越狭小。许多野生动物现在面临食物危机。同时，人类为了获取皮毛、皮肤、角、牙和肉而捕杀物种。

为了保护我们的生态资源，人们应该意识到任何物种的损失至少是知识的源泉和自然美的源泉。因此，本应采取以下措施：制订污染标准以降低有毒物质;严禁杀害某些稀有物种;应建立国家公园作为野生动物，保护区。

只有人类采取一些激烈的措施，野生动物才能被保存下来。

mount jiuhuait was a fine day in may. i took a bus to mount jiuhua. as the hus was passing half way through the mountain i saw a sea of green trees and bamboos. the trees were standing straight pointing upright to the sky. white louds floated in the blue air.

the bus zigzagged to the cable station. i got on the cahle car and soon i was in the air. the mountains and pavillions were underneath. then we came to the foot often king peak the highest among all peaks. the short cut ia steep and more difficult to climb. only the brave few took the path. following the guide i began climbing on all fours. it was a test of physique as well as courage.

our guide kept reminding ua of keeping away from looking at the scenes while climbing. the narrow steps in the mountain led ushigher and higher to the summit. stopping to take my breath i saw the candle like stones and the isolated pine against the sky above the mountain.

the climbing continued and i could not but think of the labouring people who braved the trail for us to follow. what wonderful work! at last we got to the summit. the squirrels were jumping in welcome. steam was rising up from the mountain below. standing above and looking down everything was in sight beneath me. it was magnificent and enlightening.

那是五月的一个晴天，我乘车去九华山。当车行在半山腰时，我看到一片绿树和竹的海洋。树木直挺指向天空，而白云在蓝天上漂浮。

公共汽车沿着弯弯曲曲的山路开到了缆车站。登上缆车，很快就悬于空中。山和亭子都在脚下。然后，我们来到了十王峰下，这是九华山所有山峰中最高的一个。那条捷径很陡，十分难爬，只有少数勇敢者走这条路。跟着导游，我手脚并用爬了起来。这是体力和意志的考验。

导游不断提醒我们爬山不看景。山中狭窄的台阶引导我们步步登高。直到山顶。停下来喘气时，我看到蜡烛石和倚天独立的松树。

爬山在继续，我不由得想起盘山开道的劳动者。他们的劳动多么有意义啊!我们终于到了山顶。但见松鼠跳跃着欢迎我们的到来，云雾自山下腾涌而起。站在高处往下一看，一切尽收眼底。多么壮观，令人启迪。

我家有两只乌龟，一雌一雄，雌的叫欢欢，雄的叫乐乐。

欢欢体型较大，龟壳为淡黄色，只有顶端有一抹淡绿；而乐乐呢？它则体型较小，龟壳为淡绿色，只有顶端有一抹淡黄。它俩身上的皮很皱，像老太太似的。腮部有两个红点，十分鲜艳，仿佛是用口红点上去的。

它们很爱叠罗汉。记得有一次，欢欢在下面当地基，它伸出短短的四肢，用力勾住地面，稳稳当当地趴在地上，仿佛连龙卷风都刮不走它。而乐乐呢？也伸长脖子，在欢欢的壳子四处“探查”，好似在寻找落脚点。一分钟过后，总算探查完毕。

乐乐抬起前爪，勾住欢欢的龟壳，后爪一“蹬”地，总算上去了。它慢条斯理地爬到龟壳顶端，一个大转身，Ok！我丢下去一块猪肝，乐乐拍了拍欢欢，欢欢向猪肝爬去，快到时，乐乐伸长脖子，叼来猪肝，它两便一上一下地享用起来。

我喜欢欢欢和乐乐，但愿它俩能伴我一生。

Good morning !Everyone! /Hello, everyone!

Id like to thank you first for giving me this opportunity!

Appreciations for your consideration on me as your future colleague/comrade! I sincerely wish you will be persuaded by my good background and excellent capability to take the position of XXXX!

Im a Ph.D holder from XXXX medical school. My research interest is about XXXX. Thanks to the kindness of my supervisor, Prof.XX, I’ve built up a rich experience in the field of XXXX in my past 6 years study as a post-graduated student in XXXX hospital.

Now, I’m going to give a brief introduction to my past. It consists of three parts: my research work, my medical training, and my in-situ career record.

The first one is about the successful application of a National Science Foundation project in 2005/2006, which is about XXXX. I was asked to prepare the kernel part of our manuscript because of my good understanding and attractive ideas in the latest development of XXXX. I played an important role in our team, and by our endless efforts, we succeeded in obtaining the financial support from NSF.

My research is supported by this project, and I’m going to get my diploma in 2008. Moreover, I’ve published X papers in the past 3 years, mainly on the well-known publications.

The second part is about the medical training in diagnosis and operation skills. In my past 6 years, usually I spent more than half of my time in the hospital and sickrooms. A rich experience has been built up in the field of XXXX. For example, I successfully handled a difficult XXXX case in 2006/early this year/recently. If you feel like to, I would be very happy to explain the detail a little bit later.

Furthermore, I’m not so simple a medical student from school to school. I had one year’s practical experience working as a doctor in XXXX hospital. In 2004, I got my certification. I was an in-situ doctor in the SARS crisis in 2004. Thanks to this period, I learned how to communicate with so many kinds of patients and how to handle difficult situations.

In the end, I sincerely wish, you may be persuaded by my excellent background and capability! Thank you again for your kindness!

I promise that I will be a good doctor here in your hospital and I will do my best!

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.
