We notice the wind when it seems cruel,when the trees turn away from it,and it cuts into our hearts.“Certain winds will make men’s temper bad,” said George Eliot.In Israel, there is one kind of wind that brings irritability,headaches, sickness and respiratory difficulties.In Germany, a warm, dry wind is said to blow heartaches down from the Alps.In Southern California,the Santa Ana is associated with an increase in depression and domestic violence.Scientists have tried without success to identify physiological reasons for these reactions.Everyone agrees, however, that dry winds like the Santa Ana,the cold northerly wind in France and the wind in Germany and Switzerland seem to have negative effects on our mental and physical well-being.
On windy days, playground fights,suicides and heart failures are more frequent.In Geneva, traffic accidents increase when a wind called the bise blows.At the request of patients,some Swiss and German hospitals postpone surgery when the wind blows off the northern slopes of the Alps.It is human to ask what is behind the wind.It is easy to personify the wind as the breath of God.The act of taking wind into our lungs is what gives us life.The Jews, Arabs, Romans and Greeks all took their word for spirit from the word for wind.Eskimo women once chased the wind from their house with clubs,while the men shot it with rifles to kill the evil spirit they believed rode its gusts.But our day-to-day lives are no longer blown on the winds.
We do not identify wind with spirit any more.That is good for commerce,but it exacts a cost to the human eye and heart.The wind blows us simple pleasures.There are winds lapping at shores,bathing us in scents of coconut and spice,beckoning us further.
1. 有的人喜欢参加旅行团旅行。
2. 有的人喜欢自己独自旅行。
3. 你喜欢的是......
When it comes to travel mode, different people have different preferences. Some people are in favor of the package tour. However, others would like to travel on their own.
Those people who hold the first opinion believe package tour saves them a lot of trouble, such as finding the accommodation. In addition, they say, package tour can relatively ensure the safety of the tourists. However, still others think differently. In other opinions, they can get a greater degree of independence and freedom, and can take their time to appreciate the views. Besides, they argue that it will cost less to travel on one’s own than join package tours.
Weighing up these two arguments, I prefer to the latter one. For another, I can decide by myself when to start on my way, where to linger a little longer and which spot to skip over. Considering all these, I think traveling on my own is a better mode of travel.
Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled To Become a Specialist or a Generalist?
1.有人认为一个学生应该努力成为一个“专才”。
2.然而其他人则认为学生应该成为“通才”才能在社会上立足。
3.你的看法是......
When it comes to whether a studentshould become a specialist or a generalist, there is no complete agreement among people. Some people think that it is best for college students to focuson developing skills in one field to become a specialist. However, others maintain that a versatile generalist is more welcomed in the competitive jobmarket.
Those people who hold the former opinion believe that it is impossible to demand college students to become an all-round generalist within four years. In addition, with increasing elaboration ofsocial division, the specialists are in more urgent need. However, still others advocate the different opinion. They hold that college students should stretch themselves to as many fields as possible to adapt to the increasingly fierce competition. Besides, generalists are highly demanded in the information age.
Personally, I am in favor of the former opinion. I don’t think it is advisable that college students equally spend their time and energy on several fields. Besides, the development of high-techneeds specialists. Therefore, I think to be a specialist is the right choicefor most students.
