Unit 1Banked cloze University students come from different parts of the country with various purposes.However,a closer look at their reasons for studying at the university will enable us to classify them roughly into three groups:those who have a passion for learning,those who wish to attain a bright future,and those who learn with no definite purpose. Firstly,there are many students who learn simply because they pursue their goal of learning.Some read a wealth of learning.Some read a wealth of British and American novels because they are keenly interested in literature.Others sit in front of the computer screen,working on a new program, virtually day and night,because they find some computer programs fascinating ,and they dream of becoming a “Bill Gates” one day. Secondly,there are students who work hard mainly for a better and more prosperous future.It seems that the majority of students fall into this group.After admission to the university,they read books after books to acquire knowledge from all of the resources which are available to them,and finally,to succeed in the future job market. Thirdly,there are still some students who learn without a clear goal.They take courses,finish homework,enjoy life on campus,but dont want to sample anything new or challenging.They have no idea what they will be doing after college.And they may end up with nothing in their lives.Structured writingTopic:How to succeed in college First,pursue passions.Your passions will broaden your mind and make your life interesting.Second,never let go of any opportunities that come your way.College is full of unique opportunities,which you should seize.Lastly,take responsibilities.In college,you must learn to be a responsible person.You will become successful not only in college,but also in your future career.Translation 孔子是中国历史上著名的思想家、教育家，是儒家学派（Confucianism)的创始人，被尊称为古代的圣人(Sage)。他的言论和生平活动记录在论语(The Analects)一书中。论语是中国古代文化的经典著作，对后来历代的思想家、文学家、政治家产生了很大影响。不研究论语，就不能真正把握中国几千年的传统文化。孔子的很多思想，尤其是教育思想，对中国社会产生了深远的影响。在21世纪的今天，孔子的学说不仅受到中国人的重视，而且也越来越受到整个国际社会的重视。 Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history.He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient”sage”.His words and life story were recorded in The Analects,An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture.The Analects has had a great influence on the thinkers,writers and statesmen that came after Confucius.Without studying this book,one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years traditional Chinese culture.Much of Confuciuss thoughts,especially his thoughts on education,has had a profound influence on Chinese society.In the 21st century,Confuciuss thoughts not only retains the attention of the Chinese,but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community.Unit 2Banked cloze Parents and teenagers have different or even opposite things to worry about.For example ,while a mother might have a hard time understanding why her teenagers room is always an embarrassment of dirty stuff,the teenagers are more worried about their next exams and may think it is ridiculous for their mother to insist on keeping a clean room.It is therefore important for you to appreciate the differences and learn to communicate with your teenagers properly.

To deal with this complex issue, colleges and universities are turning to the Internet for quick access to its rich educational resources. Now the Internet has been accepted as the preferred technology to many other methods in colleges and universities. Many teachers now routinely post their teaching materials online. A growing number of schools offer at least some undergraduate courses over the Internet. There are two different models of making use of the Internet for higher education. The first model seeks to improve existing courses by using the Internet. This model provides high-speed Internet connectivity to all students, faculty, and staff. While this model uses the Internet, it doesnt require many changes, and it keeps most existing institutional structures unchanged. A different, more revolutionary model regards the Internet as accountable to an important change in higher education, for it is believed that the Internet can transformed teacher-centered instruction into students-centered learning. This, as a result, will bring about basic change to our university education. Structured writingTopic: Teenager smoking It is no uncommon to see teenagers smoking today.
