Write a composition in no less than 120 words on the topic Higher Education in China Today.

“Time” says the proverb “is money”. This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time is convertible into money. Let those who think nothing of wasting time, remember this; let them remember that an hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a bank-note; and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so much silver or gold; and then they will probably think twice before they give their consent to the loss of any part of their time.Advice to “sleep on it” could be well founded, scientists say. After a good night’s sleep a problem that seemed insurmountable the night before can often appear more manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal. But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good night’s sleep can improve insight and problem-solving. “If you have some newly acquired memories in your brain sleep acts on these memories, restructures them, so that after sleep insight into a problem which you could not solve before increases.” Said Dr. Jan Born, a neuroscientist, at the university.He created Mickey Mouse and produced the first full-length animated movie. He invented the theme park and originated the modem multimedia corporation. For better or worse, his innovations have shaped our world and the way we experience it. But the most significant thing Walt Disney made was a good name for himself.It was, of course, long ago converted into a brand name, constantly fussed over, ferociously defended, first by Disney, latterly by his corporate heirs and assigns. Serving as a beacon for parents seeking clean, decent entertainment for their children, the Disney logo-a stylized version of the founder’s signature—more generally promises us that anything appearing beneath is will not veer too far from the safe, sound and above all cheerful American mainstream, which it defines as much as serves.Now the dreadful winter was come upon them. In the forest, all summer long, the branches of the trees do battle for light, and some of them lose and die; and then come the raging blasts, and the storms of snow and hail, and strew the ground with these weaker branches. Just so it was in Packing town; the whole district braced itself for the struggle that was an agony, and those whose time has come died off in hordes.It was Tipper Gore’s first solo campaign outing of the year, ad daylong sprint across New Hampshire on a miserable snowy day in January. Mrs. Gore cheerfully trudged from hospital to meeting hall, shaking hands, talking up her husband—and giving voters an up-close look at the lady who would be First Lady. Back home in Washington, A1 Gore spent the day wondering how his wife was really handling the northern exposure. Private and wary of the rigors of campaign life. Tipper has often been a reluctant public figure.

理论必须联系实际，这是我们应当牢记的一条原则。在姹紫嫣红的花卉世界里，牡丹自古以来就素有“花中之王”的美誉，深受中国人的喜爱。凡是优秀的作品，读来都如同与历史上最杰出的人物在促膝谈心。这几年的变化极为显著，不容我们有所忽视，教训也极为沉痛，不容我们不深为铭记。自然科学方面，我们比较落后，特别要努力向外国学习，但是也要批判地学，不可盲目地学。

Now those “effortless” good looks seem a little more risky. Allegedly, the silicone implants can leak and interfere with the body’s immune system. There have been over 2,000 complaints, particularly about implants which predate 1985-although cosmetic surgeons blame zealous lawyers for manufacturing concerns. The Food and Drug Administration announced an inquiry last year, but initially said it would not ask for the operations to stop it, reportedly because of evidence coming out in court cases. In December, for example, a woman who suffered from a ruptured implant was awarded $7.34m from the biggest maker of implants, Dow Coming.The announcement has caused more panic among American women than any medical decision since a contraceptive device, the Daikon Sheild, was removed from the market in 1974, some 2 million women have had implants, 80% of them for cosmetic reasons: the rest had “re-constructive” medical surgery following cancer treatment. The waiting list for implants by one Californian doctor used to be six months; it is now less than one month, Shares in implant makers have slumped.Such second thoughts are overdue. For all its glittering advocates, cosmetic surgery is the only type of medicine where a perfectly healthy patient is cut up. (This, of course, omits re-constructive operations to repair bums or replace missing breasts.) Eight out of ten cosmetic operations are performed outside proper hospital—some in operation rooms that look more like offices. Warnings of side-effect rarely appear in advertisements; nor do the records of the eager surgeons. Since it is “elective” surgery, not covered by insurance, few of the normal rules apply.Inside the industry, rumors of malpractice are rife. One senior plastic surgeon says that he has a list of peers who “he wouldn’t let touch my dog’s body.”1.According to the paragraph, cosmetic surgeons think that （）.2.It is reported that the Food and Drug Administration inquired into the effects of silicone implant, because （）.3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the second paragraph?4.The difference between the cosmetic surgery and other surgery is that （）.5.The last sentence of the passage, “peers” refers to （）.

A few years ago a lone American campaigner wrote a book in which he set out the main points of his fascinating crusade―to abolish television. His book Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television is an American cult bestseller, and after eight editions it is still generating concern and savage debate in the USA.Jerry Mander, a former advertising expert is convinced that for the sake of our freedom, and mental and physical health, we should learn to live without TV. Through his advertising background Mander is aware how much of television is concerned with advertising. He sees the planting of values for profit as a deep, profound and disturbing act by the few against the many, for a trivial purpose. And, even without commercials, he sees TV as disturbing because it crams people’s heads with images which alter the way they feel and behave. Pictures formed by 300,000 tiny dancing dots altering 30 times per second, bombard their eyes as people scan the images 10 times a second. The brain registers and stores all 30 images, but the conscious mind registers far fewer. But, argues Mander, even if you reject or doubt what you see consciously, it is too late, the crucial messages have gone home.He further argues that TV is deadening experience as it is restricted to just two senses—sight and sound. “Perception is dulled and flattered”, says Mander, “when you can’t feel and smell and totally experience an event.” People are just sitting passively for up to four hours a night watching a flickering screen and listening to artificial sound. No culture in history has spent such an enormous amount of time looking at artificial light, says Mander, and another worrying fact is that prolonged exposure to artificial light alters human cells, which is why it is being used for certain medical treatment. Researchers do not know if life-long TV exposure is a physical risk or not, but as Mander would argue, why run the risk? It is important that people get up now and switch off before the harm is done, they might also become brainwashed, or who know, they might even be approaching death.1.Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television is a book which （）.2.Jerry Mander objects to TV advertising mainly because （）.3.Mander thinks people’s feelings and behaviour are changing because （）.4.By watching TV for several hours every night, Mander implies that （）.5.Mander suggests that viewing TV over long periods of time （）.

The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence because college will help them earn more money become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies and drop out-often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it’s just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-leaning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.1.According to the author （）.2.In the 2nd paragraph, “those who don’t fit the pattern” refers to （）.3.The drop-out rate of college students seems to go up because （）.4.According to the passage the problems of college education partly arise from the fact that （）.5.In this passage the author argues that （）.

In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism and gravitation: their effects can be measured and predicted but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish brown gum. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “really” are. “Electricity”, Bertrand Russell says, “is not a thing like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle for example whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principal that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that’s where they belong and smoke goes up because that’s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modem science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.1.The aim of controlled scientific experiment is （）.2.What principals most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?3.Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is （）.4.The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea （）.5.Modem science came into being （）.
