How have you been recently? How time flies! At the same time last year, we both were striving for our dreams. Now, I have been in college for almost a year, and this years National College Entrance Exam is drawing near. I sincerely hope that everything goes well in your life, especially in your study. Meanwhile, I firmly believe that you will achieve a satisfactory result on the coming exam.In your letter, you told me that your failure on last years College Entrance Exam has always haunted you, and you doubted your ability to do well in the coming one. What I want to tell you is that you shouldnt be discouraged by last years failure. Everyone has experienced failures and disappointments, so dont blame yourself too much. Instead, you should learn to interpret failure in a positive way and profit from the failure as a learning experience. You also told me that you felt anxious sometimes since the exam date is approaching, and you wondered whether you could realize your dream this time. To be frank, at this point, I had the same feeling last year before I took the exam. All these worries are inevitable but unnecessary. Instead, you should think about your strengths and build up self-confidence. You are a boy with great potential. Just do your best and forget about these worries and troubles. Remember, misfortune will not last long.Well, I have to stop. Try to keep a smiling face and have a positive attitude toward life. A smile may make things easier and better. All your hard work will pay off. Keep in mind that tomorrow is a new day. Best wishes! Yours Sincerely, Zhang Hua Unit 2Directions: Write a composition on the topic: Campus Superstitions. Your composition should be no less than 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:1) 现代科技突飞猛进，但个别大学生有时会 产生迷信念头；2) 造成个别大学生产生迷信想法的原因；3) 如何消除个别大学生的迷信心理。Campus Superstitions With the development of science and technology, we are able to control our own fate better than ever before. However, a few students are still superstitious. Some students try to find out their future on network fortune-telling games. Some are willing to pay all kinds of money just for a mobile phone number containing such “lucky” digits as 6, 8 or 9. Some students prefer to do every exam paper with the same pen or pencil with which they got high scores on previous tests. Some graduating students even go to the Buddhist temple to pray for a high score on graduate entrance exam or to find an ideal job.Why does superstition have such a firm hold on campus life? There are various reasons. First of all, college students are curious about what their future holds, and online fortune-telling games could satisfy their curiosity. Secondly, like many Chinese, a lot of students believe lucky numbers can bring them good luck and fortune. Thirdly, college students face quite a lot of pressure in their study, so they seek safety and feel confident in superstitions. Last but not least, some students attribute their failure to bad luck and view their setback as “Fate would have it” (命里注定), meanwhile, they wish “Buddha could bless me” on tests or in job-hunting.To break down campus superstitions, joint efforts must be made. School authorities should keep their eyes wildly open for the phenomenon. In addition, teachers, parents as well as friends or classmates should offer help to solve the problem. As for students themselves, it is crucial for them to develop healthy life styles both physically and psychologically. In short, if all sides concerned try their best, superstitions will not play such a wide role on campus。Unit 4Directions: Write a composition on the topic “An Application Letter for a Part-time Summer Job”. Your composition should be no less than 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:1) 你想申请暑期兼职电脑营销员的工作；2) 简述你的学业及相关经历；3) 期望得到对方的及早答复。An Application Letter for a Part-time Summer Job June 20, 2006 Dear Sir or Madam:I am writing to inquire whether there is a vacancy for a part-time computer salesperson during the summer vacation.

Here is good news for you: today, about 30 million people around the world are learning Chinese, and various educational institutions in over 100 countries have offered Chinese courses. More than 540,000 people from 120 countries have participated in the HSK examination (Han Yu Shui Ping Kao Shi) to date. These figures are encouraging, and it seems that Chinese may well become the second most popular international language, just behind English. Through this phenomenon, we can see clearly that the pace of Chinas advance in the world arena is rapid. Chinas international status has also been rising rapidly. Besides, the 5000-year-old splendid history of Chinese civilization is another aspect counting for the highly increasing number of students studying Chinese. Numerous foreigners have stepped into this ancient land, appreciating Chinese culture. Additionally, Chinas rapid economic growth and especially its entry to the WTO attribute greatly to the fever. More and more business people cast their eyes on the Chinese market, and want to get more profit from it, which largely inspires the enthusiasm for learning the Chinese language.The rising Chinese language fever has spawned (大量产生) a great number of “Chinese courses” all across the world. In the coming years, as our countrys economic and cultural links expand, the number of foreigners learning Chinese is expected to multiply (增多), and there will be a great demand for Chinese teachers. Maybe someday, we will be able to go abroad to teach foreigners Chinese! But, remember, we need to sharpen our English first in order to teach them in a more effective and efficient way. Unit 6Directions: Write a composition on the topic： Should Animals Be Trained to Help Humans? Your composition should be no less than 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:1) 我们通常训练动物帮我们干活；2) 不应该让动物帮助人类工作；3) 动物应该拥有与人类同样的平等生存权利。Should Animals Be Trained to Help Humans？ For thousands of years many animals have been trained to do all sorts of jobs for human beings all over the world. Horses and cows help farmers with their farming. Elephants and camels are often seen carrying heavy load for their human masters. Monkeys are trained as servants, dogs as hunters and sniffers, and dolphins as soldiers. We should not train animals to work for humans, for we have no right to take advantage of them. When we force them to serve us, they have no freedom and are like slaves. Whats more, a lot of animals lose their lives when they work for humans. But, it seems that human beings dont care about their lives at all. We show no mercy to animals when they have done so much for us. We are cold-blooded creatures and we should criticize ourselves. As we know, both humans and animals are creatures of nature and we are equals. Life belongs to us only once and therefore it is priceless, and it is also true with animals. If we have the right to choose our fate, so do animals. Beasts should be allowed to run freely over great distances and birds fly freely in the blue sky. When they are in nature, they are active and able to live a normal life. In summary, we should treat animals in the same way we treat other people, and furthermore, we should give animals their freedom.Unit 7Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: The Ecological Crisis on the Booming Tourism. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese: 旅游业在中国迅速发展。但在旅游业繁荣的同时，生态环境也遭到破坏。因此，我们应提倡生态旅游(eco-tourism)。The Ecological Crisis on the Booming Tourism Tourism is one of the most promising industries in the 21st century. According to some statistics, tourism comprises more than 5% of Chinas GDP and creates millions of jobs each year. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why tourism is greatly promoted in China. In addition to the driving force in GDP growth, another reason for the boost of tourism is that people have more holidays. For instance, during the Labor Day or National Day holiday week, people prefer to experience various lives and get out of the daily life routine. Furthermore, they can afford it. Traveling is many peoples favorite recreation. It enables us not only to broaden our horizons, but also to shape our mind and spirits. However, just like a coin with two sides, tourism causes a serious problem ecological crisis. The environment has been suffering with the boom of tourism. In order to attract tourists, many places have been turned into resorts. Forests are cleared, prairies (大草原) are destroyed, rivers and lakes are polluted, and wild animals are driven away. These horrible scenes should sound an alarm to us. We must protect our eco-environment while enjoying the beautiful scenery. In order to keep a balance between tourism and ecology, the concept of eco-tourism, which intends to bring people closer to nature with as little disturbance as possible, should be advocated. In the development of this new form of traveling, governments at all levels should play their positive roles such as funding environmental programs and limiting excessive exploitation of natural resources. What we need to do is simple: do not litter; strictly observe regulations at resorts, and use as few plastic bags and boxes as possible. At last, we should keep in mind that when we travel we should take away nothing but memories and leave nothing but footprints.Unit 11、Shyness can vary from feeling mild discomfort to high levels of anxiety(从感觉轻微的不适到高度的焦虑)that impact us in almost everytthing we do .2、Despite his stubbornness,he knew in his heart that he should avoid arousing any suspicions（避免引起任何怀疑）.3、It will be interpreted as criticism no matter what you say（成批评，无论你说什么）.4 、Lets not allow ourselves to be upset by trifles（让我们不要为小事烦心）(which) we should ignore and forget . 5 、Too much time spent dwelling on the past（花太多的时间老是想着过去）can get in the way of enjoying life as it happens. 6 、People who believe they can accomplish goals and solve problems（相信自己能够完成目标并解决问题的人）are more likely to do well in school.1、人们认为悲观常常会导致绝望、疾病和失败。 It is believed that pessimism often leads to hopelessness , sickness and failure . 2、与此相反，乐观主义能使你幸福、健康和成功。 Optimism , by contrast , can make you happy , healthy and successful . 3、当你做某件事失败时，把失败当作一种学习的经历从中汲取益处。 When you fail in something , profit from the failure as a learning experience . 4、在问题或困难面前，要想想自己的长处并树立起自信心。 Think about your strengths and build up self-confidence in front of problems or difficulties . 5、不要让消极的想法阻碍你。 Dont let negative thoughts hold you back . 6、每个人都经历过失败和失望因此不要过多地责怪自己。 Everyone has experienced failures and disappointment , so dont blame yourself toomuch .
