Unit One1. How do you understand Love without limitations?From this passage we can know there had never been any limitations to what Jimmys love could accomplish. I think the title “love without limitations” is the way we treat others. Love the people around us no matter whether they are healthy, clever or kind-hearted. In our lives, we often see some people treat the disabled people badly. This is a very shameful action. We should have a kind heart no matter what we are doing. Jimmys love teaches the people around him love without limitations.2. Peoples attitude toward the disabledThere are a lot of disabled people in our world. Some of them are disabled when they were born as Jimmy, and others were injured in some kind of disabling accident. Almost all of us feel sorry for them, but still some have the wrong attitude towards people with disabilities. While we should come to the conclusion that we have duty to take care of those disabled people, and we cannot look down upon them. They are the same as us, and even do better than us in some aspects. After all, we should try our best to help them, to show our love for them. As Jimmys sister, I will help Jimmy overcome the difficulty. Even though Jimmy is disabled, he also can learn many things. And he can also help others. I will help him learn to live by himself. In the present life, he lives with his family members, but later I will help him stand up . I will try my best to help him, help him be confident. And Jimmy has a kind heart. He also makes us happy.3. The beggars in disguise in the street.Some people say:The most hateful people are those beggars disguising as beggars for sympathy.”And I do not believe in beggars any more or believe that they actually have other means of living. They arent poor at all. They are not worth of our sympathy and help. They are cheats. I would not give them any money, for it would encourage them to stay a bum and continue panning for money. Meanwhile, some effective measures must be taken to eliminate the beggars in disguise. It is high time to identify the frauds and teach them a proper lesson so that the really needy can continue to get help from society. In addition, the establishment of social welfare and social security system plays an urgent role in dealing with this kind of problem.Unit Two4. What do you know about the relation between iron and health? The iron is related with our health. When our body is lack of iron, we will feel weak, tired, and out of breath. Most of the people think if we do exercise, we will be healthy. But we always ignore the element. Most of the people dont take care of the iron. To some people, they should have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves. If iron levels are low, talk with a physician to see if the deficiency should be corrected by modifying your diet or by taking supplements. In general, its better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich food to diet, so in our daily life, we need to eat more food including iron such as meat , chicken, and fish . We also can eat some dates, beans, and some leafy green vegetables. Dont wait until our bodies lack iron.5. What do you know about the relation between exercise and health ?Discuss what contributes to good health? There is adirect correlationbetween physical exercise and overall health. If you get regular exercise and dont totally junk out regarding your diet, you will, in general, be healthier than someone who doesnt exercise. There is no medical practitioner or physiologist alive who will disagree with this idea. Not a single one. It is not necessary to become an athlete to improve your health, your quality of life, and your longevity.Exercise can help us keep healthy . More and more people in the modern life dont have much time to do exercise . So people dont have a healthy body . Most of us students always sit for a long time . We even need take exercise . But not all of the sports fit us very well . Some people like those Aerobic exercise（有氧运动）. Some people like running , surfing and swimming . Doing exercise is good for our health . Exercise can Increase our body function and reduce fatigue .When we feel tired , we can do some exercise .Eating a balanced diet. If you dont think that you are getting enough vitamins try vitamin supplements and of course exercise around half an hour 5 times a week is good and if you eat a banana before doing exercise it helps with your metabolism so you burn off more calories!Keeping a good state of mind is also important for good health. Happy every day. 6. How do you understand mind is body, and body is mind ?Exercise benefits both body and mind. Just as exercise strength the heart and lungs, bones and muscles, it can also power up the brain. Some scientists speculate the reduction in mental function often attribute to getting old may really be a penalty of neglecting to stay physical active.Mind is tightly associated with body. If we have a healthy body, we will be active in our mind ,we also can have energy to do what we want to do in our mind. If we are healthy in our mind ,we will want to exercise our body, and we can be more healthy.Unit Three7. Give your comments on the Hyde Schools principle of running school.Hyde School is different from other schools. Hyde School thinks the quality of students is very important. Not intelligence or wealth. Conscience and hard work are valued. And success is measured by growth, not academic achievement. They think that if you teach students the merit of such values as true, courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern, then academic achievement actually follows. This is the principle of Hyde School . It is very new.And it also pay attention to develop the relationship between teachers and student. They deal with the academics together. Teachers and students are friends.8. What are the main differences between the Hyde School and traditional schools? Which do you prefer? Give your reasons. Hyde School is very different from traditional school.First, the principle is different. Hyde School operates on the principle that if you teach students the merit of such values as true, courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern, then academic achievement actually follows. Traditional schools principle is that the score is the first.Second, Hyde Schools students are required to take performing arts and sports, and provided a community service. Traditional classroom is single and boring.Third, in Hyde School, parents take part in the program. Traditional school is opposite.Forth, it pay attention to develop the relationship between teachers and student. They deal with the academics together. In traditional high school setting, its teacher to the material and then to the student.I prefer Hyde School. I think it is more interesting. We can learn more knowledge. We can improve ourselves all-sided . And with the parents help , we can success more easily. In Hyde School, there are less press.9. Do you think it necessary to involve parents in the education program?Yes, I do.When we meet with difficulties in learning or lives, if parents are involved, they will encourage us, let us have the confidence to face the difficulty. Our parents are our example , with their encouragement, we will actively face learning difficulties, fighting over them at an early date. And parents will set a model for their children. Children tend to do their utmost when their parents making similar efforts. Parents involved in the childs education also can supervise their children to study, there are some students in the case of only oneself cant concentrate on learning, accompanied by the parents, children will be very good study. So I think it necessary to involve parents in the education program. Unit Four10. Introduce some symbols of American culturewhen we come to America , we will think of some symbols of American culture immediately .First, the statue of liberty which is created by a French artist a monument celebrating US independence and the France-America alliance which is dedicated on the island in Upper New York Bay. Second , Barbie dolls the universally recognized Queen of the Dolls .Third American Gothic an often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers.11. What do you know about the American people from the symbols?independentseeking for freedom12. Comment on young peoples attitude towards foreign culture. Today we are in a globalized cultural world . people especially young people are more interested in foreign culture than our traditional culture. Young people put much attention to celebrating foreign festivals which they think are very fashionable. Naturally, there are a lot of cultures in the world and some of these cultures are beneficial while others are harmful. They sometimes choose culture blindly and are not conscious of being infected by these culture. Gradually, these culture will deepen into their thoughts and behavior. In my opinion , young people should not only actively absorb foreign culture which is advanced into the development China but also protect our traditional Chinese culture. Unit Five13. Give your comments on Mrs. Clark after reading the passage?Mrs.Clark is an ordinary women who is fear for death, so she ask the author to accompany with her. She is also an unordinary woman. She dont want her relatives to feel the sorrow of her death.14. She has a severe ill and she is only skin and bones. But before she died, she sent all her family members home because she didnt want them to see her die. It shows that she is a considerable and selfless old lady. She loves her family. She has a big family and she is a mother of seven, and a grandmother of eighteen. But She takes good care of all her families. And she was used to do charity in many aspects.For example, she was a leader of volunteer in her community and a piano player. She teaches piano or over thirty years. She not only has graceful hands but also has a graceful heart.15. Your attitude towards death.To be or not to be ,most of people fear death. And few of us can stay calm when dealing with death. After all ,death is a normal phenomenon that we can never avoid being faced with. Although we Chinese tend to associate it to infelicity, its cannt be denied that everyone will inevitably end his life in a grave, however prominent and intelligent he is in life . Being afraid of death is justified ,however ,it is commonly acknowledged that in the face of death ,nothing but the attitude toward it matters. In many culture it is taboo to raise the topic of death in everyday discourse, but this is not the case with the Chinese people .To them life and death are a common conversational topic. Their matter of fact approach is illustrated in the sayings: Human life is nothing but a stage over which the sun and the moon function as two spotlights; We live our lives in the same way as grass passes the seasons from spring to autumn; There is no distinction between the old and the young among those on their way to the tomb.These aphorisms exemplify the belief that man is born to die, and that life is merely a journey from womb to tomb, a natural process governed by an objective law that no one can escape or flout. No matter what endeavors one might make, everyone succumbs to mortality within a certain time span. Nothing can be done other than follow the natural process from birth to death, just as grass sprouts in spring like the essence of youth and withers in autumn like the onset of old age. Apart from accepting the truth that we human being are not immortal, we should extend our deep grief to who have passed away then move on to the bright future instead of immersing ourselves in great mourning. Moreover we should do our best to make each day counts. Unit Six16. What do you know about advance signs or warnings of an earthquake? some behaviors of animals are good signs of earthquakes. Firstly, hens refuse to enter their cages at night. Secondly, snakes come out of the ground to death. Thirdly, even normally quiet dogs bark a lot. The fourth, large schools of fish swim near the surface of the water17. What will you do to get well prepared for an earthquake?Firstly, building structures that can withstand the power of earthquakes, use relatively light roofs and strong walls Secondly, people in areas where earthquakes are common need to prepare for the possibility of earthquakes, check and reinforce their homes regularly, place heavy objects in low positions, attach cupboards and cabinets to walls and fasten doors .thirdly, people can have supplies of water and food at home and at work, and its important to have something that can clean water and kill bacteria.18. How can you survive inside or outside when an earthquake happens?If you are inside, you should stay at bathroom. you had better take some water with you. On the other hand, wrapped in soft things to protect you from harm. Dont use elevator, try to take the stains. Stop your car in the open and stay in if you are in outside. Remember that stay away from buildings and trees Unit Seven19. Do you think ones personality is so important as to influence their success? Give your reasons.First, one persons personality is related with the way he deal with the things. everyone has his own way ,someone is very conscientious and someone are not. Second, ones personality can influence what they think, for example, Ma Yun, who is great creative, coming up with the idea that offering extremely discounts for their consumers in the singles day. Also, this can decide whether he can succeed or not. So, personality can influence many things. And other people also evaluate one man by his personality. A good personality is very important. Sometimes it can help you get the chance. And you will succeed. So ones personality is so important as to influence their success.20. How do you see ones academic performance at school in relation to their future achievement?I think someones academic performance at school can influence his future achievement in some way. and it is very important ,But not the deciding factor .first, from the economic point of view, a persons achievement and money directly related to a great extent, which is to how much wealth he has size to measure a persons accomplishments, such as jack ma. From the perspective of the history of ma, school learning and his todays achievement is not necessarily linked, and is the key to his understanding, tact and to grasp the opportunity. Second, from the Angle of culture, a persons ideological achievements have great relationship with its knowledge reserves, and the key to it is thought in the process of learning in school period. Third, a persons achievement is combined by various factor such as courage, experience and some opportunities and so on.21.

Do you think a premarital agreement is necessary? Why or why not? I think that prenuptial agreements are bad ideas which is one of the reason leading your marriage failure. Because the family is based on trust. They must love each other if one couple decided to make a family. So they are ready to face difficulties. Even if there are some contradiction, they can deal with it together. This is love. And if one couple sign a premarital agreement before marriage, that indicate they dont trust each other.23. A topic for debate; nothing can kill romance faster than a prenup. I firmly believed that everyone wants to have a romantic marriage. Signing prenuptial agreements means that you dont believe your spouse, not to say romantic. Prenuptial agreements are bad for love, bad for relationships, and bad for marriage. So I think nothing can kill romantic faster than prenup.24. Discuss the possible roles that a premarital agreement may play. As saying goes:”Every coin has two sides.”Prenuptial agreements also have both benefits and harm. On the one hand, it can protect the considerable accumulation of wealth of one of the couples and save a couple from a terrible marriage. But on the other hand the prenuptial agreement may lead marriage to failure. Additional discussion:25. Should drivers be banned from using cell phones?Numerous studies have determined that talking on a cell phone while driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving. Therefore, cell phones must be banned to drivers.Firstly, using a phone while driving is a potential trigger to accidents and will make a lot of lives lost. Drivers who talk on a cell phone tend to respond less quickly, and are much more likely to cause a crash.Secondly, cell phone use can influence traffic. A person using cell phone w
