1、Information and My Life As you know, information plays an important role in our modern society. Someone ys that ours is a society of information. I agree with him. In fact, information is expanding at an increasing rate. As a member of modern society, I am fully aware of the significance of informat
2、ion to my life. It affects nearly every aspect of my life. Then how to obtain and deal with information seems to be of utmost importance. As for me, the first way to obtain information is to go to library. Our library is so large that it covers a wide range of subjects. Various kinds of information
3、can be got in it. Information about society, economy, politics and sciences will give you a fresh mind. Of course, library isn t the only source of information. I can learn much information by other means. Even when talking with my friends I can get a lot of useful information. But information is so
4、 immense that we haven t ample energy and time to deal deeply with it. Moreover, some of the information might not be true. So, how to select information is also significant to me. Listen to all, trust only three tenths. To obtain accurate information and to throw off the false part of it should be
5、our goal. Information should be made full use in my life. Right now, I try to use information mostly on my studies. When I get into society several years later, information will probably become more and moreimportantTodays Luxuries Are Tomorrows Necessities By luxury, we mean a pleasant and often ex
6、pensive thing that is not necessary. From a historical point of view, things which Were a luxury when they first came into being all became necessities later. When the electric bulb was first invented in the U.S., it was such a luxury that only government bodies could afford to use it. Nowadays, how
7、ever, it has reached every part of the world. It is the same case with telephone, TV, and a lot of others, which were all luxuries years ago. Anything, no matter how luxurious it is, will become a necessity when it is widely used. This is true of many of the present luxuries, including mobile phones
8、, cars, computers and many other things. It is known to all that the purpose of the development of science is to make things easy for the mankind, not for only a small number of people. Therefore, the first thing to do after a new invention occurs is to spread it so as to benefit as many people as p
9、ossible. In the course of the spread, the luxury becomes decreasingly luxurious until in the end it becomes a necessity. This is an objective law, nothing can be an exception. With the quick development of science and technology, the process for many things to become a necessity from a luxury will b
10、e greatly shortened. Anything that can be imagined will be invented and in no time becomes a necessity accessible to ordinary people.Value of Knowledge In the Information Age, public awareness of the value of knowledge critically affects the economic growth of a nation. The schematic diagram clearly
11、 shows how the value of knowledge evolved in China in the past 50 years. The schematic diagram mainly consists of three parts. From 1950 to 1966, the curve was roughly a straight line slightly above zero, showing that China was a poorly-educated nation then. In 1966, the curve drastically dropped be
12、low zero, moving down hopelessly in the next 11 years. This periodcoincided with the Culture Revolution. Our society went mad then, books were burned,schools were closed and all kinds of academic activities were banned. Knowledge inflicted its masters nothing but disasters. Life was a nightmare for
13、Chinese intellectuals, including famous scholars as well as common people who received higher education or whose profession had anything to do with knowledge. It was a time when ignorance was a virtue and knowledge was a crime. People tried desperately to be away from knowledge. As a result, China l
14、agged farther behind the rapid progressing world. This was the darkest time in the history of New China. The curve returned to its original non-zero position around 1978 and moved up but slowly. From 1984 on, it has been shooting up. The open-up policy encourages people to study and to channel their
15、 knowledge to the market economy. Millions of Chinese are bettering off by means of their knowledge and more Chinese enjoy the fruits of knowledge and say goodbye for good to poverty that haunted them for generations. As our world is rapidly advancing towards the Information Age, increasing number o
16、f people realize that knowledge is power and creativity is everything. Only when China becomes a better educated nation, can China be a great nation with international prestige.Task 1 A. Title: Private car B. Word limit: about 200 words (not including the given opening sentence) C. Your composition
17、should be based on the outline below and should start with the given opening sentence: “Nowadays any Chinese can enjoy the luxury of owning a private car- if he can afford it.” D. Your composition should be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Outline: 1) Advantages of owning a private car. 2) Disadvan
18、tages of owning a private car. 3) Should it be necessary to enlarge the private car market? Why or why not? Nowadays, any Chinese can enjoy the luxury of owning a private car if he or she can afford it. Having a car of your own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains, and y
19、ou can drop off the children at school on the way. Moreover, it also means that you can enjoy the weekends and holidays better, because with a car you can go to places where the regular buses and trains do not go, and so you can find a quiet scenic spot with no crowds. However, there are drawbacks t
20、o owning a car. For one thing, with the increase in car ownership in recent years, the roads are becoming more and more crowded, often making the journey to work more of a nightmare than a dream. For another, it is not cheap to run a car, as the prices of gasoline and repairs are constantly rising,
21、not to mention the prices you have to pay for a license and insurance coverage. Having considered both sides of the argument, I have come to the conclusion that the advantages of owning a car outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, it seems to me that China should increase its output of automobiles a
22、nd enlarge the private car market. The result would be that cars would become cheaper, while at the same time the extra demand would encourage the auto industry to produce more efficient and family-oriented vehicles.Task 2 Assuming that a manager is going to interview some job applicants and one of
23、his friends gives him a piece of advice that the first impression is not a reliable basis for judgment. This manager wants to hear more from others and decides to have a wall newspaper put up for more views on that topic. You are going to write an article to offer your opinion about it. You should w
24、rite about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. It is commonly said that ones first impression of a person is the most important one, and this is certainly true when applied to job interviews. This is because the manager often has to interview a dozen or more candidates in the space of only one or tw
