1. When we retrospect how our knowledge and thoughts have come into being, we will easily find that, besides learning from teachers in school, we are always imitating and learning from others, who are mainly parents, friends and those we respect rather than those we hate, disgust or contemn.ffice ffice" /> 2. Interest or curiosity is the best guide leading one to the unknown scientific world. 3. As a result, in order to acquire an effective comprehension of the feature of contemporary culture, a combination study including both convention and innovation is indispensable. 4. The young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him. 5. Imitation of role models does play a vital part in the growth of children and teenagers, but people will learn to make independent choices when their moral structures are fully established. 6. There is no perfect individual in this world and everyone more or less has come intrinsic deficiencies. 7. No two pieces of leaves in a forest are identical, and this is also applied to human beings. We are born with different natures, backgrounds and tastes. Some may have keen sense for art or literature, while others are more interested in science and technology. 8. Most of our ancient maestros of academic, like Aristotle and Socrates, were all-round talents having marvellously good command of science, art, and philosophy. 9. The purpose of high-profit awards such as Nobel Prize is to encourage people who have great contributions to human in specified fields. 10. In ancient Greece, the great thinker Socrates was sentenced to death. 11. Human civilization has been developing for thousands of years and has got glorious and wonderful achievements. 12. Science and technology have come to pervade every aspect of our lives and, as a result, society is changing at a speed that is quite unprecedented. 13. Any scientific research starts with hypotheses and assumptions, more often, there is no definite outcome. 14. Technology had extricated human being out of heavy physical work and modified mental work, but it cannot be a substitute for the whole human’s thought. 15. Solving problems become easier by the highly developed technology, so we can put more energy on self-thought. 16. Technology has been making our knowledge’s frontiers longer than ever, however, there are more questions coming to us. 17. Furthermore, some profound thought owes to the technology. Such as the research on our cosmos using X-ray telescope with earth-size recently. 18. More caution should be paid to controversial problems in scientific research and development especially those concerned with ethic and generic issues. 19. Education is one of the keywords of our time. A man without education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced the importance of education, modern states “invest” in institutions of learning to get back “interest” in the form of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. 20. In the process of teaching, it is essential to encourage the positive action because by doing so the learners can gain self-confidence to propel their further study. 21. But negative ones cannot be ignored because they may cause the learners to cultivate habits such as self-satisfaction, arrogance and refusing to adopt other’s advice. 22. Negative feedback can help the author of the work to recognize the deficiency of it and prevent him from arrogance, but hash criticism will also destruct the confidence of the author. 23. Over-estimating and flattery will certainly be of no good to one, but sincere admiration can encourage people. 24. Without any compulsory curriculum, students tend to pay attention only to what they are interested in and dismiss others. This unwholesomeness of knowledge cannot ensure that everyone gets enough knowledge for future. 25. It is unwise for a school or college to pay its teacher at the same rate in all disciplines even if their working loads are completely equal. 26. Schools offer systematic curriculum, qualified staff, libraries, facilities and so on, which are not available to individuals who study on their own. 27. Admittedly, the quality of an individual’s intelligent plays an important role in deciding one’s work, research or learning ability, yet it is not the decisive one. EQ, which we know as emotion quotient, charges for individual’s imagination, emotion and creativity. One who lacks of those could hardly achieve success, whatever realm he stands. 28. Common sense informs us that young people should first develop a foundation of experiential knowledge before they are encouraged to think critically about what they are told is fact. 29. Children have never won so much attention before. With overwhelming reports of children victims of family violation, abusing, staring or of those quitting school, degenerating, or even breaking laws, both national governments and the public recognize the necessity to offer more social programs and service to children, helping them grow healthily and safely. 30. In primitive society, in order to ensure the impartiality in distribution of food and sustenance, elders are elected to perform the task. 31. And, while the direction and goals of scientific research rely on the imaginations of key individuals, most scientific discoveries and inventions come about not by sudden epiphanies of youthful stargazers but rather by years and years of trial-and-error in corporate research laboratories. 32. Many people may sincerely believe that poplar music, film and television programs have much culture value. However, one does not have to go very far to see that this type of mass culture is usually profit oriented and made for temporary consumption. 33. Some people may also take for granted that arts and literature of the past have nothing to do with students’ life today. Yet, careful examination would reveal that studying classical arts and literature enriches students’ spirit lives and help them learn about life. 34. Another misconception that many people may hold is that popular culture and traditional culture have nothing to do with each other. But what they fail to notice is that classical arts and literature provide contemporary artists and writers with rich material and inspiration for creating popular works. 35. However, as young adults take on the responsibilities of partnering, parenting, and working, they appear to define themselves less by their social affiliations and more by their marital status, parental status, and occupation. 36. Reform is a hard task because reform always means the redistribution of benefits of various levels and that the reformer will be confront with myriad resist from various levels from society. 37. A truly effective leader is the one who has not only the ability to remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives, but also the prescience and determination to make a change and embrace other’s ideas at right time. 38. Politics may, in some special circumstances, not be telling the truth, but this does not follow that honesty is not a useful virtue of a politician. 39. Power is endowed by all people in society but not a private property of one person. So the people who exercise the power must be cautious. 40. The history of natural evolution has witnessed the disappearance of some plants and animal species, which did not result in any harm to the environment. 41. Old building are amalgamations of aesthetic, architectural, cultural and historical values, since they are not reflections of the time but also a vivid textbook, from which we can know the circumstances of different ages, the living habits of the people and attitudes to aesthetics. 42. When referring to greatest individuals of human beings, we are often predominated by those brilliant figures of the past. Newton would always be idolized as the founder of classic physics, and Shakespeare would forever shadow his descendants. But this does not require that the greatness of individuals should not be decided by their contemporaries. 43. A lot of great people failed to get recognition at their lifetime, and some of them, unfortunately, even suffered from contempt of peers. 44. Time works as merciless filter, and only those true great ones survive. Therefore, it is relatively easy for us to judge and evaluate past figures of greatness. 45. A maturing society and academy make it easier for great people to get reward in lifetime. 46. Successful experiences of past cannot promise right decision today even if it is followed, but they can help us understand things better from a wider view. 47. In a democratic society, competition is laudable, since it provides everyone an even chance to compete, puts the competent in the right place, and exclude the phenomenon of nepotism, which cause low efficiency and hamper the progress of the company, the organization, or even the government. 48. In sum, if we can have an objective attitude to competition, it is ultimately much more beneficial than detrimental to society. 49. While, on the other hand, if the competition is fraught with adulteration and illegality, it will bring deterioration to the society rather to progress. 50. However, as far as I am concerned, it is not the luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life that hampers the healthy development of individuals, in fact, it is rather the attitudes one has of life and his personality that guides him through the moral development. 51. Competition and high grade are interactive although sometimes it seems that they are paradox. 52. Should educators teach values or focus instead on preparing students for jobs? In my point of view the two are not mutually exclusive. It is by helping students develop their own principles for living, as well as by instilling in them certain fundamental values, that educators best prepare young people for the world of work. 53. Whether certain means are justifiable in reaching a goal must be determined on a case-by-case basis, by weighing the benefits of attaining the goal against the costs, or harm, that might accrue along the way. 54. The chief reason why I generally agree with the statement has to do with the forces that motivate the media in the first place. 55. I fundamentally agree; however, as the speaker implies, it is important not to overstate the comparative value of imagination. 56. I tend to disagree; although practical considerations often play a significant role in occupational trends, ultimately the driving forces behind people’s career decisions are individual interest and ability. 57. I agree with the statement insofar as there is no technological solution to the enduring problems of war, poverty, and violence, for the reason that they stem certain aspects of human nature—such as aggression and greed. 58. In considering the business world it might be more temping to agree with the speaker. 59. In sum, neither modernization for its own sake nor indiscriminate preservation of old buildings should guide decisions in the controversies at issue. Instead decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis, considering historic value, community need, and the comparative costs and benefits of each alternative. 60. In sum, it very likely that people will never be able to arrive at the same conclusion on this controversial issue, due to their different experiences, and conflicting values. Nevertheless, public awareness of the various dimensions of the issue discussed in the above argument will certainly contribute to the thorough understanding of the problem. 61. Taking into account all the dimensions of the issue discussed in the above analysis, we can safely come to the conclusion that 62. As a result, as for all the feature of contemporary culture, including both convention and innovation, acquiring an effective comprehension of it, a combination study is indispensable. 63. In sum, the speaker’s claim overstates the importance of video records, at least to some extent. 64. In conclusion, the scientific accomplishments reflect the true value of a civilization and play a most important role in human development as well as the artistic creations. 65. In the final analysis, people are ultimately free to choose their work; it’s just that they often choose to betray their true talents and interests for the sake of practical, economic considerations. 66. Man has wrested from nature the power to make the world a desert or to make deserts bloom. There is no evil in the atom, only in men’s souls. – Adlai Stevenson 67. Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. – Barry Goldwater 68. When you know a thing, to hold that you know it. And when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it. This is knowledge. – Confucius 69. Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. – Edison 70. Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; writing an exact man. – Bacon 71. A government of the People by the People and for the People shall not perish from the earth. 72. For example, in challenging the notion that the earth was in a fixed position at the center of the universe, Copernicus paved the way for the corroborating observation of Galileo a century later, and ultimately for Newton’s principles of gravity upon which all modern science depends. The staggering cumulative impact of Copernicus’s rejection of what he had been told was true provides strong support for the speaker’s advice when it comes to scientific facts. 73. Albert Einstein, who proposed the theory of relativity in 1905, once said, "I have no special gift - I am only passionately curious." This quiet, modest man with a passion for truth proved a system of equations that overturned some of our most basic assumptions about the nature of universe. His theory of relativity joins time, space, matter and energy in ways never imagined before and therefore has profound influence on the following research in both physics and philosophy. 74. Scientific discoveries and technological advances have produced tremendous improvements in the quality of human life, nevertheless, they have often had negative consequences as well. The risk of cancer caused by the inhalation of asbestos particles, the possibility of large-scale industrial accidents, the ethical issues raised by the use of life-prolong technologies, and the ever-present danger of nuclear holocaust are as much as a part of the modern ear as space travel, miracle drugs, and computers that can operate whole factories. Although technology is not “out of control”, there is clearly a need for improved procedures for anticipating and preventing the consequences of new technologies. 75. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, led the Union during the Civil War and emancipated slaves in the South, playing a crucial role in the war. Without his firmness, far sightedness, wise leadership, warmth and generosity, American history would be have been rewritten. 76. Adam Smith, a well-known economist, advocated that government should not interfere the activities of the market, and alleged that a free competition would bring a balance status to the market and in such condition optimal profit could be obtained for every firms in the market. What the result turned out, however, is not a boom in market but a commotion and pollution of air and water. The government had to take part into the economic activities and control the market in macro level. 77. On the other hand, if the school grant its students the power to decide their curriculum, which might be regarded as sufficient freedom, they will not achieve a good result, either. Students before their college studies are too young to decide what’s the worthiest and what is a must to study in the school. When it is their turn to choose easy while shunning those dull or difficult. Such a study is impossible to help the students gain enough knowledge over a complexity of subjects evenly which is necessity for any college major. 78. As time goes by, the actual value of the ideas or activities of past giants may have worn out, however, it is the influences they exerted that matter. Some theories of Aristotle has been proved flawed or fault, but this greatness never fades in that his methods lead all those live after him. Even Newton’s theory has been shaken by Einstein as only approximate to limited fragment. But not for their marvellous talent and efforts, which paved way for all those following them, we will not have been able to stand where we are today. 79. Consider idealists such as the America’s founders, or Mahatma Gandhi, or Martin Luther King. Had these idealists concerned themselves with short-term survival and immediate needs rather than with their notions of an ideal society, the United States and India might still be British colonies, and African Americans might still be relegated to the backs of buses. 80. It is incumbent upon the government to protect the environment which increasingly deteriorates in the recent time. 81. He usually knows nothing of political economy and less about how foreign countries are governed. 82. The problem set for society is not the virtues of the type so much as its adequacy for its function, and here grave difficulties arise. 83. It is as if they were in some sense cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures. 84. It is true that during their explorations they often faced difficulties and dangers of the most perilous nature, equipped in a manner which would make a modern climber shudder at the thought, but they did not go out of their way to court such excitement. They had a single aim, a solitary goal—the top! 85. His bones have been mounted in natural history museums everywhere, and he has always exerted a strong fascination upon scientists and romantics alike. |
