The lecture completely retorts the points of views illustrated in the passage. As the instructor presented in the lecture, the earlier findings and assumptions about altruistic acts both of human and animals have to be reexamined, accordingly several reasons given to strengthen her position, which I, in the following paragraphs, will make a contrast in details with the ones in the passage. On the contrary, the reading contends an opposite stand that altruism is exactly the opposite of selfishness, which both humans and animals perform to gain for nothing.

 

The first point that the professor uses to cast doubt on the reading is what kind of conditions the sentinel meerkat are really put into: in grave danger or with more ease to flee; full or empty stomach. According to the professor, the sentinel meerkat actually eat before the guard, first see the predator, and immediately run into the burrow nearby, those facts greatly differing from the reading states that meerkat is such a typical paragon to the altruistic acts that when a hawk is approaching, the sentinel flee alone, but the group can fend off the predator together; when the companions are enjoying foods, the sentinel eat nothing. The point made by the professor casts doubt on the reading because the earlier inaccurate finds make for the misunderstandings.

 

Another point that the professor uses to cast doubt on the reading is the real motivations and rewards of the human’s altruistic behaviors. The professor claims that in an extreme case of donating kidney to family member or even a stranger, the donor, in fact, not gain nothing but a sense of self-satisfaction and appreciation or approval from the society. However, the reading states such acts are altruistic because of only benefit but little reward.

 

In the conclusion, the points made in the lecture contrast with what is presented in the reading.  The new finds and explanation presented by lecture demonstrates the view that altruistic acts are not for any rewards is certainly in doubt.

The lecture apparently provides the supplementary information for the incomplete passage. As the instructor presented in the lecture, there are some explanations to the cause of childhood amnesia, and one of them is generally accepted; accordingly some details described to strengthen his/her position, which I, in the following paragraphs, will make a concrete comparison to see how s/he develop the vies in the passage.

 

The first new information that the professor uses to supplement the reading is the different ways that children and adults take to memorize what happens around them. According to the professor, children retain their memories in a random way different from the organized one adopted by adult, which obviously supply the solutions to the question presented in the reading states why in the first three to five years when learning is at its highest learning and most amount of information is caught, children can hardly remember anything. Therefore, a clear and accurate picture of the cause of childhood amnesia will be easily built up in both theoretical and empirical aspect.

 

Another new point that the professor mentions in the lecture to strengthen the understanding of the issue initiated in the reading is the cause of shift from the random, child-adopted to organized, adult-adopted encoding way. The professor claims that the maturing of hippocampus is the decisive factor of what can be imprinted in the human’s brain, the process of which gengerally takes 3-5 years. Accordingly, the reading states numerous experiments have been conducted to explain childhood amnesia, and even the check-up difficulties are overcome. This point, apparently, is completed by the convincing conclusion mentioned in the lecture.

 

In the conclusion, the points made in the lecture, in a sense, finalize what is presented in the reading. The different encoding ways and the maturing of hippocampus supplement that the explanation of childhood amnesia is certainly a mature thought in theory.

 

 

Task 8: Finding 6 faults.

1、卷面：

Apprarently, it is far from easy for me, a college stuent still in persuit of my bachelor degree in Law to comment on such a topic; there are, anyway, some essential qualities required to be a successful person: intelligence or honesty, undoubtedly, is always listed in the first priority by the average person.

 

2、结构：

However, to me, perhaps weirdly enough, the most important one is greed: it does make people more successful, since not only does it drive us to pursue whatever means success to us, but it also helps us to accumulate whatever it most important, in respect to both of which greed has been proven to work.

First of all, I would like to clarify the exact definition of what success measns to us

Greed, as I mentioned in the first parggraph, drives us to puruse what means success to us

Further more, it is greed that helps us to accumulate whatever it most important

All in all, due to the above-mentioned reasons, which sometimes correlate with each other to generate an comprehensive and thus more convincing conclusion, we are comfortable to say: there is nothing more than greed basically making us more successful.

 

3、内容：

Why:  bascit instinct, the source of all human’s desires.

Then what: greater ambition, which fundmentally drives people to work harder

To whom: the prospectors, seeking for a better future, especially those youngsters in age of 20-30

 

4、语言：

I have no intention to deny the importance of intelligence and humor, but compared with greed, they are of no significance. That is, greed allows us to be desirous for what we think will make us successful: if possessing a large amount of money is what one measure as success, then be greedy with money; if having a great deal of humor is what one measure as success, then be greedy with humor; if owning knowledge as much as possible what one measure as success, then be greedy with books and dictionaries. 

 

Greed, being the most important characteristic, is an basic element for achieving success, since it is based on personal satisfaction, which fundmentally drives us to ……….

 

5、论证方法：

Furthermore, it is greed that helps us to accumulate whatever we want. To To illustrate it profoundly and comprehensively, I would like to focus attentions on a historical perspective: throughout history, greed, definitely, have been creating most of successful persons in the world. Firslty, Alexander the Great was famous for his greed to power, and land and peace, so even today he is spoken of with awe; secondly, Gandhi, showed great greed on nothing but pease, which is exactly the reason why we consider him successful; finally, Hugh Hefner was greedy with gold and beauties, and in some senses we can say he was successful.

 

I would like to cite what one of my favorite psychologists Aniston Proust ever mentioned in one of his articles published in the magazine Science Issue 5, 2005: “From a genetic angle, no one can deny the essential function of greed on the purpose of incentives.”  We can easily build up an accurate picture of the implications behind his words: no one can escape the control from his/her basic instinct.

 

6、个人情感：

 

thinking of something we are greedy for, we utterly strive for it with full of efforts, since success contains both the desire to acquire and the will to achieve. Therefore, just be greedy for success, and it will come to us sooner or later.

Is the ability to read and write more important today than in the past?  05.8

 

Even on the basis of no common sense at all, no one cannot doubt the importance of the ability to write and read. Taking an advantage of such abilities and else, we are able to handle our work and life well, and sometimes do things for the benefit of others. However, the crucial point is: with the development of society, we are supposed to enhance rather than attentuate the ability to write and read, since it is much more important today than in the past.

 

Intermittently, we may wonder what kind of abilities are most important ones for the human resource today. In the twinkling of eyes, we can easily find that people are in a wide gap of polemic, far way from any consent, because of the fact that there are more and more neologisms used to describe those suggested abilities. On my own accounts, I would like to return back to the most basic abilities, writing and reading, which, actually, are never more important than today.

 

Society now is full of competitions, which in turn mean huge challenges for us. Faced with such things, we had better actively get the better of them, instead of turning our backs on them. While fully entangled in some kind of arduous or sinecure job things, we seldom make an attempt at pondering what are the most important qualities required by modern life. In my personal views, having noticed the fact that the abilities of reading and writing are much more important today than in the past, we have to carry on greater efforts to improve them.

Practice the first paragraph

背景式：

With the rapid development of information technology, books, as a traditional medium, have more and more been challenged; therefore, universities are facing with such a dilemma: whether they should invest on computers or on books. With all respects taken into the consideration, I, personally, believe that it is a better choice to invest on computers rather than on books.

 

排比式：

  Have you ever browsed a variety of academic articles via a computer in your queit and comfortable dormitory? Have you ever searched out all reference books to your final paper just with a click on the mouse? Or have you ever handed in your assignments in electronic version through Internet?                             

  If you had never had such experiences, you would never know how wonderful computers has been making our daily life.

 

  Have you ever losen your patience to figure out whether your friends are telling truth or not? Have you ever been in hard work to clean up the messy dormitory? Or have you ever been afraid of being entangled in legal troubles brought by others?

       If you had never had such experiences, you would never know how important to find a good roommate.

 

例证式：

It happened the day before the final date when we are supposted ot hand in final papers. But I still had not read one of the novels assigned by the professor of the American Literature, as the whole 5 hard copies in the library had been borrowed away. Believe it or not, all of my friends in the city had been called for help. At last, I, the “lucky” man in the last minute, had to spend 2 hours taking bus to the other side of Peking city to finish my paper.

If you had never had such an experience, you would never know how wonderful computers has been making our daily life.

 

       I have taught many students, but those I know well and who excel in the academic performance,
when confronted with the question of whether to invest on computers or books, confess at once that they seldom choose those failing to meet the requirement of modern soceity. Apparently, computers as a modern medium compared with the traditional one--books, university had better invest on what can bring them most, computers. 

 

引语式:

“Knowledge is power”, university is a palace where people are empowered with knowledge, which is conducted mainly in classrooms and libraries. If we insist on the main aime of universities is to impart knowledge to students, then the library should invest on what can bring it most. Computers compared with books, I believe that to invest on computers would be a better choice.

3、Asked, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, the door will be opened for you.

What has been is what will be; what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under sun.

 

 

As was ever mentioned by Ariston Chopin, my most favorite professional manager, ever the CIO of Amazon, “In such an epoch, we have always taken more out of computers than anything else”, which reveals a universal truth that in such a rapidly-changing information age we have to choose what can bring us most.

 

As one of the well-known proverbs says, “Circumstances alter cases”, which reveals a fundamental thought that in such a rapidly-changing information age rather than those traditional ones people have to be keep up with its steps by choosing what can bring us most.

 

定义式：

A book is a set of pages that are fastened together in a cover so that we can read them, which is a traditional medium; a computer is a electronic mahine which can store information so that we can do things with it according instructions called programs, which is a modern medium. With all considerations taken into account, I, personally, choose to investment on the modern one, sincer it can brings the universities of 21st century most.

 

Diversify demonstration

Case & anecdote：

When readers are making some inquiry，computers provide much more efficiency than books can do. During the last semester, all the twenty students of my class are required to resort to the British Encyclepedia to finsh our final papers. However, there was only one set in the hard copy in the whole library, since it taks the whole shelf to hold and too expensive to buy more than one set. Ever since the university bought in the CD version of the British Encyclopedia, we have been free to refer to the same article at the same time through different computers.

 

Being more and more brave is the most important quality that I would like to take for the contributing influence to change children to be adults. As to this point, I cannot stop but mention one of my favorite female poictician, Ms. Arroyo, the president of Philippine, ever since her childhood, she has been famous for being extremely smart, quick-witted, and brave. It was said once a time Little Arroyo were playing with several kids together, and one of them, all of sudden, slipped into a big jar. With other kids shocked off, crying out and running for the help of adults, Little Arroyo showed brave calmness by breaking the jar with a stone to save the little pal. This case, undoubtedly, is a typical example that being brave is important to be not just but a great adult.

 

Citing authority

As Marcel Proust, my favorite French writer ever mentioned, “Things never change, but, by and by, our wishes change.” Books, as a traditional media, have been successfully performing a function to contain human’s civilizations for thousands of yerars. However, it is the expanding desires of human beings that make for the inventions of new tools to contain the information as much as possible. Undoubtedly, Computers, as a modern media, ……

 

As was ever mentioned by Andrew Stiglitz, my most favorite professional manager, ever the CIO of Amazon, “In such an epoch, we have always taken more out of computers than anything else”, which reveals such a natural trend: although books, as a traditional media, have successfully been performing a basic role of containing human civilization for thousands of years, it is the expanding desires of human being that make for the inventions of new tools to store the information as much as possible. Undoubtedly, Computers, as a modern media, …

 

Statistics：

Computers can be linked with Internet or Intranet; information exchange thus is made easier. A recent survey by Sina.com indicates that there are over 80 million computer users all over the mainland of China, about 40% of whom, in some way, are accessible to the databases of the libraries. The annual access fee for such service, in average, is 50 RMB yuan, so such is a really high value-added business with the yearly income of 1.5 billion RMB yuan.

 

A recent survey by Sina.com, the largest portal company of Internet, indicates that the average price of the houses in city areas, in the last 3 years, has risen by 30%; simultaneously, that of the cars has dropped by 20%. Apparently, from the financial standpoint alone, it is much more economical to live in suburb areas and to work in downtown areas by commuting at time of sunrise and sunset.

 

Supposition：

Given the same space, computer may contain much more information than books can, as information can be stored on hard disks, CDs, or DVDs. Technically, nowadays people are able to condense the content of 10 thousand books into one CD. Just image what it would like if I had such CDs in the number of 10. That is, a small-size visual library would be built up in my computer.

 

Just imagine what it would be like if I were able to own a villa, or even say, only a hut, by the Donghu lakeside, which is the largest one within urban areas of all China’s big cities. That is, I can easily integrate my life completely with the Nature.

 

Contradiction:

Compared with books, computers can store the needed information much longer, since paper books are easily eroded. Paper books in the library circulate very fast. Frequently we find a new book lose its good shape within 3 months. Those seldom-borrowed books are not safe at all, in danger of natural erosion and worm bites.   

 

 

Format conclusion

Admittedly, books do have certain advantages over computers: they are easier to carry with, lower in the unit price, and less energy-consumed given that computers are driven by electrical power. However, computers have more valuable merits as an efficient, durable, manageable means for libraries of the new century. I therefore reinforce my standpoint to choose computers as my final choice for the investment.

 

错误:

Admittedly, books do have certain advantages over computers. They are easier to carry with, lower in unit price, and more energy efficient given that computers are driven by electrical power. However, I still prefer computers.

一般论述：

Topic: what are important qualities?

Nowadays, most college students in China are choosing to live in campus; therefore it follows that it is very important to find a good roommate. (45) There are numerous suggestions concerned with what are the important qualities of a good roommate, I would would like to explore only a few of the most important ones here.

 

(52) First of all, one of the primary qualities is that he is supposed to understand and practice honest.

 

(71) Meanwile, What is also worth my concerns is that I do not want to live in a disorganized place where everything is in a mess.

 

(72) Furthermore, a more essential characteristic that I do care a lot is that he should be conscious of the laws and regulations.

 

(103) Given the qualities I just outlined, I would enjoy great time with him, learning together, playing together, making together etc.

 

 

支持反对论述：

Topic: boys and girls should attend separate school

It seems that since boys and girls, during their school lives, are experiencing dramatically physical and mental changes, some ones think they had better be separated into the different shools.

34) A scrutiny of this thought would reveal how fallacious they are. I totally disagree it.

 

50) The main problem with this thought is that it is ignorant of the basic fact that the separate school may make students grow abnormally, since they will be nervous or inexperience in the relationship with the opposite gender.

 

48) There is another undeniable deficiency in this thought that it is negligent of the bare fact that separate school is an incomplete social environment in which the students are made less sociable and less confident.

 

70) The third reason why I disagree with the above statement is that I hold that if divided into the separate school, their distinct characters and abilities make it impossible to balance study level.

 

107) To put all into a nutshell, I restate my claim that boys and girls cannot attend any separate school. (173)

 

 

选择观点论述：

Topic go back some time and place in the past

In this competitive world, sometimes we may wish to stop time and go back to the past; I, having worked as an engineer for nearly 10 years, have always been finding my own life tough and tedious, and wish I could go back to my childhood when life was full of happiness.

 

47) There are three premier causes for my choice as follows.

 

63) The first reason for my choice is that I wish go back to my childhood to enjoy my happy and impartial time.

 

68) It might also be noted that I want to make up for my wrong past deeds.

 

80) What is more, I would like to go back to my childhood to express thanks to my beloved parents.

 

103) Going back to the past is an unreal dream but we have rights to imagine and wish for it. Given the reasons I have just outlined, I can only say that: “please do make my dream real, Ms. Omnipotent.” (162)

 

简单对比论述:

Nowhere in the world has the issue of living locations been debated so much in our society25. Some people prefer to live in a small town, while others prefer to live in a big city. As far as I concerned, I have a preference for living in the small town10. There are three premier causes as follows 47.

 

No one could neglect the fact 56that the big cities in our country have been polluted to a very dangerous level, while most of people have much higher premium on their health.

 

A more essential factor concerning my preference is 72that the big city does not seem to be good for emotions.

 

Similarly, my choice is correct when we consider 78 the practical matter of expenses.

 

From what has been discussed before109, it proves sagacious to support my preference that it is better to live in a small town. (161)

 

比较对比论述：

When faced with the decision of 6whether to build a large factory where we live, Quite a few neighhors claim 6that a variety of disadvantages deny the construction of a new one, but others, by contrast, deem the company’s announcement as the premier choice, and that is also my point 6, since the factory will give us more advantages than disadvantages.

 

Obviously, it is true that building a new factory would cause a number of problems. One of the primary problems 52is pollution. Another problem is to break the cozy life which we have been accustomed to.

 

Despite those disadvantages, there are good reasons66to support the company’s announcement.

 

One of the most attractive points is 60that the factory can provide job opportunities for those laid-off workers. Another particularly notable advantage of this matter is 64 that the new business will pay more taxes to the government, which will have more money to invest on the pubic facilities.

 

Therefore, it is safe to draw the conclusion 105that construction of a new factory, although bringing some drawbacks, will benefit our community on the whole. (193)

 

Task 6: Insert proper transtion words

At present, there are few factories where my family and I live, and the construction of a new one would have both positive and negative effects on our community. However, I believe the new factory would give us more advantages than disadvantages.

Certainly, it is true that building a factory would cause a number of problems, one of the worst of which would probably be pollution, since people have much higher premium on the health especially with the better income. Additonally, the children and adults of our community are enjoying their cozy in the current quiet environment, loving to go for walks in the park and relax on the benches, and breathing the fresh air. Therefore, a new factory would contaminate the living space of most of our neighbors to some degree.

Whatever, the advantages of a new factory clearly outweigh the drawbacks. Firstly, the single most important thing the factory would do is to create new job opportunities. Especially, we are in desperate need of economic revitalization. In fact, as things stand now, some of the residents of our city lead miserable lives. For example, the homeless rummage through trash cans for food; the laid-off workers have an inadequate income and often cannot meet their rent; even the well-educated have trouble finding proper work., because the employment rate here is nearly the lowest in the country. Thereby, we have to seek for investment from the new industry which would provide a great deal of new positions, and as for the economic concept “Multiply Effects” what we get from the investment is not just factory itself. Of course, with the opportunities provided by the factory, many residents may lead a more comfortable life.

All in all , I am convinced that we would mostly benefit from building a new factory: though it may pollute our city and cause minor annoyances, it would provide many jobs and tax payments we really need, and those things are absolutely the first priority when it comes to quality of life, especially in such an economic phrase of China. ________, I strongly favor erecting a factory near our community to help resolve the difficulty facing our society.

 

Almighty Template

The above topic suggests such a problem of how to find a good roommate. Apparently, different people hold different views due to their respective angles, and it seems that it is a little bit hard to reach any absolute consent. On the one hand, some people advocate that a good roommate has to own the completely same characters as his/hers; on the other hand, others probably insist that it is enough that a good roommate had better hold some essential qualities. The complex nature of the above issue requires us to consider it on a case-by-case basis. In my point of view, which one has the most valuable advantages depends on the specific circumstances. In the following analysis, I would like to reason and provide evidence favoring on own consideration: a good roommate had better meet the basic requriments from moral, sanitation, and law.

 

In the first place, the important reason that can be presented to develop my position is that he is supposed to understand and practice honest. A good example may be found in the case that narrow-minded,ill-tempered, playing pokers, quarrel, tiff, hammer, dumbbell. This case, undoubtedly, brings us a lot of inspirations on this respect: under this circumstance, it is obvious that a good roommate has to be honest.

 

In addtion, there is another reason worth a great deal of concerns to support my postion, which is not far to seek: a good habit of sanitation is important, since every one is reluctant to live in a messy place. To illustrate it profoundly and comprehensively, I would like to cite what one of my favorite writers ever mentioned: “Hygiene is not only on the surface but also from one’s soul”. We can easily build up an accurate picture of implications behind his/her words. Apparently, positive conclusion can be easily inferred from it to support my postion: a good roommate has to be well-sanitated.

 

Last but absolutely not least, the argument I support in the first paragraph is also in a position of advantage because no one would rather be involved in unnesssary legal toubles. For this point, another kind of perspective will be shown: I would like to take an advantage of statistical tools to analyze it, probing what we can learn the numbers. A recent survey by Sina.com, the largest portal company of Internet, indicates that The crime rate in campus has been showing a contioulsy uprising trend, its proportion jumping to 7% from 3% 5 years ago. “No one can deny the truth behind the number.”

 

Admittedly, it may be true that _______. However, this alone does not constitute a sufficient support to claim that ________. Actually, these cases are somewhat specific and weak to strengthen the view that__________________.

 

All in all, due to the above-mentioned reasons, which sometimes correlate with each other to generate an comprehensive and thus more convincing conclusion, we are comfortable to say that In no way can we find an identical self to be companion, beacuase it is we who have to adapt to the life, not vice versa.

Essay:

 

(1) Sociologists have long recognized that social tensions are normal elements of group life. (9) The intensified nature of modern life makes it imperative that people be engaged in some kind of ways to relax their bodies and souls full of tiredness.Personally, (8) the most favorite of my ways for fun is sports, especially those with no need for much money, less reaquriment to facilities, and high involvement of energy, such as basketball, swimming and climbing.

 

       With the priority of the favorite level, here is playing basketball first. (10) Although native to Europe or somewhere, the basketball is now spreading throughout every corner of China, even called “the second national ball” here, only next to the table tennis. (7) It is Yao Ming who has been triggering such a widespread popularity of basketball all over the China; naturally, as a college student in the age of 25, I take the basketball as my first choice, and more important, foster the spirit of team work as well as fortitude.

 

       Second, I would say swimming, because of a tradition in my home city, Wuhan. (2) People have a very strong awareness of how to escape the stress and difficulties of modern life, although most, actually, can hardly find extra time available for those activities except working or studying. Fortunately, in the confluence/meeting-site between the Yangtze River and its longest tributary /branch , the Han River lies the Wuhan city. (6) In every winter Wuhan people are famous for their swimming across the Yangtze river in the width of 1,200 meters at the temperature much below zero centigrade.

(4) Built in 773 D.C., the time of Song Dynasty, the Crane Pavilion, on the highest hill within the Wuhan City, is popular especially to those people who take climbing as their main activities of outdoors during fall and spring.

       (3) Although almost all people agree with the importance of finding some appropriate ways to relax, no extra time available is bothering them a lot, and has become an often-used excuse for even no ways at all. I, personally, think no matter what excuse is plausible, any one has to find at least one way, since (5) nowadays we must be mentally and physically strong enough to shoulder the pressure from the family as well as from the society.
