1. Pollution

1. 污染对人类有害

2. 为防止污染，近年来采取了一些措施 3. 然而，污染问题尚未完全解决

Pollution is harmful to human beings. Polluted water causes many kinds of diseases such as diarrhea, enteritis, etc. And sometimes these diseases even take man’s life. Dirty air or air-borne garbage causes stinging eyes and running nose. Pollutants are destructive. They cause runs in nylon stockings and crack rubber tires and they eat away at stone and rust iron.

Measures have been taken to control pollution. In recent years, legislative steps have been introduced to control pollution. Rivers are being cleaned. Air is purified, and pollutants are being trapped before they are poured out of chimneys.

However, pollution problems have not been completely solved. Pesticides are widely used almost everywhere. They pollute soil, water and food. They have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Some factories are still using air as a dumping place for wastes. Some lakes are still dirty. Quite a few chimneys are still pouring smoke into air and noise pollution remains serious.

污染

污染对人类有害。污染的水引起多种疾病，诸如腹泻，肠炎等。有时这些疾病甚至会夺去人的生命。污染的空气或空气中含有的废物引起眼睛刺痛，流鼻涕。污染物是有害的，它们使尼龙长袜脱丝，使车胎爆裂，侵蚀石头，使铁生锈。

为了防止污染，采取了一些措施。近年来，采取一些立法措施来控制污染。河水正在变清，空气正被净化，污染物从烟囱中排放出来以前，就得到了控制。

然而，污染问题并未完全解决。杀虫剂在广泛使用着，些杀虫剂污染着土壤、水和食品，使河流的鱼类无法生存，使我们的花园飞鸟绝迹，毫无声息。一些工厂仍然把大气作为垃圾倾倒场。一些湖泊依然很脏。还有不少的烟囱把烟尘排放到大气中，另外，噪音污染依然严重。

2. Is Failure a Bad Thing?

1. 失败是常有的事。

2. 人们对失败有各种态度、。 3. 我对失败的态度。

Failure is not a stranger to life. It can happen anywhere, anytime and to anyone. No person succeeds all the time. The more development you want to make, the more failure you might encounter. So, people are faced with failure now and then.

There are different attitudes towards failure. Some people are afraid of failure and they can not bear the blow of failure, so they stay where they are and try to not to mike progress. Some optimists, however, fight against failure bravely and achieve all his aims at last.

My attitude is that we aren’t afraid of failure. When we meet with failure, we don’t lose heart. We should call up all our courage and persist in what you are engaged in. Remember the proverb: Where there is a will, there is a way.

失败是坏事吗？

失败是常有的事。失败可以随时随地发生在任何人身上。常胜将军是没有的。你越想要取得成就，你就越有可能遇到更多的失败。所以人们时时都会遇到失败。

对待失败人们有各种有同的态度。有些人惧怕失败，他们承受不起失败的打击，因此，他们踟蹰不前，不思进取。然而些乐观的人勇敢

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

地同失败作斗争，最终实现了所有的目标。

我的态度是不怕失败。当我们遇到困难时，不可丧失信心。我们应当鼓足勇气，坚持我们从事的事业。要记住：有志者事竟成。

Can Road Accidents Be Avoided?

1． 人们对交通问题越来越关心。 2． 有些人认为交通事故不可避免。 3． 我的态度。

At present, more and more cities are faced with the problem of heavy traffic. And the number of road accidents is on the rise. So more people are much concerned about traffic security problems.

Some people say that traffic accidents are unavoidable. They argue that nowadays traffic is much heavier than before. There is often a traffic jam especially in rush hours. Because modern society lives on the basis of vehicles, traffic jams are difficult to eliminate. With the development of industry and population expansion, the condition will be worse.

In my opinion, most road accidents can be avoided. The right solution is to lay down more gallop bridges, overpasses and underpasses in big cities. It is well known that the main cause of road accidents is drunk driving and driving with over-speed. If we reinforce the traffic security education and more people comply with traffic regulations, I believe one day traffic accidents can be avoided.

交通事故可以避免吗？

目前，越来越多的城市面临着交通拥挤的问题，并且交通事故在增长。因此人们更加关心交通安全问题。

有些人认为交通事故不可避免。他们说如今交通比过去拥挤的多，尤其是在交通高峰期。因为现代社会心车辆为基础，交通拥挤消除不了。随着工业的发展和人口的增加，这各状况会变得越来越坏。

我认为许多交通事故可以避免。正确的解决办法是在大城市里建造更多的立交桥，过街天桥和地道桥。众所周知，交通事故的主要原因是酒后驾车和超速行驶。如果我们加强交通安全教育，更多的人遵守交通规则，我相信总有一天交通事故是可以避免的。

Advertisements

1. 在现代社会里广告到处可见。 2. 为了吸引顾客，广告多种多样。 3. 要警惕欺骗性广告。

Advertisements appear everywhere in modern society. When you walk along the streets, you can see large billboards with beautiful girls smiling at you. You read newspapers, and you find half of the pages covered with ads. Turn on the TV set and you will see ads again. Whether you like it or not ads are pouring into your life every moment.

These days advertisers devise hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win huge sums of money. They not only offer samples, but free cars, free houses, and free trip abroad as well. They have discovered that all of us love to get something for nothing. Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers to capture the attention of millions of people in this way.

But not all advertisements are trustworthy. Certain advertised products turn out to be deceitful, or fail to live up to what is advertised. Some advertisements tempt consumers to spend money and buy things they don’t really need. So the consumers’ own sound judgments are necessary and essential.

广告

在现代社会里广告到处可见。当你走在大街上，你看到大的广告招贴板上画着的漂亮小姐向你微笑；读报时，你发现一半的板面都是广告；打开电视机，你还会看到广告。不管你喜欢不喜欢，广告每时每刻都在涌入你的生活。

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

现在登广告的人还想出几百种使我们赢得巨款的比赛。不但提供免费样品，而且提供免费汽车，免费住房乃至免费出国旅游。他们发现我们所有的人都喜欢不出钱而得到东西。无线电和电视机已经使登广告的人有可能利用这种办法来吸引千百万人的注意。

但是，并非所有的广告都真实可靠。某些广告产品证明是骗人的，或者说产品与广告不符。有些广告诱惑消费者花钱买那些他们并不真正需要的东西。因此，消费者自己的正确判断才是必要的和基本的。

Protection of Environment

1. 目前环保还存在着许多问题。

2. 为了保护环境，各国做了大量的工作。 3. 我的看法。

There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

保护环境

目前环保还存在着许多问题。最严重的问题就是空气、水和土壤的严重污染。污染的空气对人类的健康十分有害。污染的水引起疼病，造成死亡。更有甚者，随着现代社会的迅速扩建，植被大大的减少。

为了保护环境，各国做了大量的工作。采用了立法措施控制大气污染，保护森林资源和海洋资源，制止任何环境污染。因此，在当今的环保中起着最重要的作用。

我的看法是，为了保护环境，应当采取更具体的措施。首先，应当通过教育的方法使人们充分謒到环境保护的重要性。第二，应更加努力把计划生育付诸实施，因为人口多就意味着污染严重。最后，要严惩那些故意破坏环境者。使他们破坏环境就是毁灭人类自己。

Population and Birth Control

1. 由于人口的增长，人类感到压力越来越大。 2. 控制人口增长是我国的基本国策。 3. 家庭子女多有许多弊病。

Mankind is feeling greater pressure from the expanding number of people. The area of the earth can never be expanded. Nor are there endless sources of food and clothing. Yet, the number of people is increasing be 80million each year. In the next fifty years, the world population may double. How can so many people be fed? What is worse, most likely, there will be a day when people can only have standing room.

Birth control is a basic policy in our country. China has the greatest number of population in the world. Her level of per capita cultivated area ranks very low. With a high birth rate, the production of grain and other bare necessities will be unable to meet the needs of people. To raise people’s living standard, we must practice birth control.

There are disadvantages of a family having more children. First of all,

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

as the parents have only limited income in general, they cannot give their children a good upbringing in food, clothing and shelter, let alone

education. Secondly, child rearing will exhaust the parents, leaving them no burden of the society so far as social morality and juvenile delinquency are concerned.

人口和控制生育

由于人口数量的增长，人类感到压力很大。地球的面积再也不会增加了，食品和衣物的来源也不是无限的。然而，人口则以每年八千万的数目增长着。在今后的50年，世界人口将会是现在的一倍。这么多的人口怎么养活？最糟糕的是，很可能有一天人们只有站脚的地方。

控制人口增长是我国的基本国策。中国是世界人口最多的国家。她的可耕地面积的平均水平相当低。随着出生率的高度增长，粮食和其他生活必需品的生产将不能满足人们的需要。为了提高 人民的生活水平，我们必须施行人口控制。

家庭子女多有许多弊病。首先，一般地说，由于父母经济收入有限，他们在衣食住行方面不能给他们的孩子们提供良好的条件，更不要说受教育了。第二，教养子女会使父母费心竭力，使父母没有时间和精力顾及自己的工作。最后，就社会道德和青少年犯罪而言，家庭子女多也会增加社会的负担。

Sports and Health

1. 要有健全的头脑，就应有健全的身体。 2. 要想身体好，体育锻炼是最好的方法。 3. 我要积极参加体育锻炼，有个好体魄。

A healthy body is necessary for a healthy mind. As is known, to have a sound mind, we must first have a sound body. This is of vital importance. Only by keeping ourselves healthy and strong can we feel energetic and vigorous in studying and working and live a happy life. To keep ourselves fit, physical exercise is the best way. In taking part in out-door sports, we are closer to nature and can take in fresh air. The beauty of nature will keep us clear-headed, which is essential to our health. Besides, sports stimulate the circulation of blood and help to excrete the wastes in the body. Sports can also work up our appetite and activate our digestion. As a result, we can become strong-bodied.

I always take an active part in physical exercise and enjoy good health. I seldom get sick but feel vigorous even if I work a whole daylong. I shall keep up doing physical exercise so as to live longer and do more for the country.

运动和健康

健康的身体对于健康的头脑是必要的。众所周知，要有健全的头脑，就应有健全的身体。这是至关重要的。我们只有保持身体健康，才能在学习和工作中精力充沛，生活愉快。

为了保持健康，体育锻炼是最好的方法。参加户外运动，我们能更接近大自然并能吸收新鲜空气。自然界的美使我们头脑清醒，这对健康是极其必要的。另外，运动促进血液循环，有助于排泄体内废物。运动还可以引起食欲，促进消化。这样我们就能身强力壮。

我总是积极参加体育锻炼，身体很好。我很少生病，即使工作一整天也感到精力旺盛。我要坚持体育锻炼，争取长寿，为国家多做些事情。

Organization Saves Time and Energy

1. 学习和工作负担十分繁重。 2. 如何采取措施来应付这种情况。、 3. 合理安排可以提高工作效率。

Sometimes there are so many things for you to deal with and you feel it is beyond your capacity to fulfill all these tasks. When work has accumulated to that point, you can take certain steps to help yourself out.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Firstly, list all the jobs that must be done and decide which one requires immediate attention. Secondly, divide the work into separate parts so it will be easier for you to see whether each part is being accomplished as desired. Working in this way you will avoid a feeling of depression as you see concrete achievements. Finally, assign each task a certain amount of time, so that the task will be carried out systematically.

If you are realistic and allow yourself a little extra time for each task, you will find that all the work will be done according to the time as assigned and a sense of accomplishment will replace the anxiety you felt at first.

合理安排就会节省时间和精力

有时你有许多工作要应付，你会感到完成所有这些任务力不从心。当工作积累到这种地步时，你应当采取某种措施使你自己摆脱出来。

首先，把要做的工作并列出来并决定那一项需要首先处理。第二，把要做的工作分成几部分，这样一来就会很容易看到每一部分是否如愿完成了。这样工作就会避免沮丧感，因为你看到了具体的成绩。最后，完成每一项任务要有一定的时间，如此，就会按部就班地完成任务。

假若你是实际的，并且允许自己对每项任务都留出一点余地来，你会发现所有工作都会按照给定的时间完成，一种成就感会取代你最初的那种焦虑。

Competition and Cooperation

1. 竞争是社会生活中常见的现象（common phenomenon） 2. 竞争与合作往往是并存的。

3. 我们崇尚（advocate）竞争，但又不忘记合作。

双语阅读：来自戴尔的建议

2005年05月09日11:42:02 疯狂英语

What I saw was a great opportunity to provide computing technology in a more efficient way. That was the core idea of what became dell computer Corporation, and that’s one we were stuck over ever since.

当时我看到一个大机遇就是以更有效的方式提供电脑技术。那后来成为了戴尔公司的核心理念，自那以后我们便一直坚持不懈。

I started the business with a simple question: how can we make the process of buying a computer better? The answer was :sell the computer directly to the end customers. Eliminate the reseller’s markup and pass the savings on to the customers.

我是从一个简单的问题开始创业的：我们如何使购买电脑的过程变得更方便？答案是：直接把电脑卖给终端用户。去除转销商这一层的钱，并把省下的钱还给用户。 It hadn’t occurred to me that others hadn’t figured it out.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I thought it was pretty obvious. I am sure if I had taken the time to ask, plenty of people would have told me that my idea wouldn’t work-I have heard that a lot in the fifteen years since starting the business. 当时我并不知道其他人没有意识到这一点。在我看来，那是相当明显的。我确信当时如果我肯花点时间问问人的话，会有很多人说我的想法行不通－创业后十五年我听过许多这样的话。 Sometimes it’s better not to ask or to listen-when people tell you something can’t be done. I didn’t ask for permission or approval. I just went ahead and did it. 有时不闻不问是最好的办法－当别人告诉你行不通的时候。我就没有去问别人的许可和赞同。我只是一往直前的去做了。 On January 2, 1984, I went back to Austin earlier than I would have to attend classes, and I did all the things you need to do to set up a business. I registered the company with the State of Texas as “PC’s Limited”. I placed ads in the classified section in our local newspaper. 1984年1月2日，我比开学时间略早一点回到了奥斯汀，我做了一切成立新公司需要做的准备。我

注册了个德州公司，名为“个人电脑有限公司”。我在当地报纸的分类广告上登了一则广告。

Through my previous contract with customers and the small ad I placed in the paper, I was already getting a lot of business. I was selling between $50,000 to $80,000 upgraded PCs, upgrade kits, and add-on computer components to people in Austin area. Not long after starting the classes I was able to move from a stuffy room that I shared with a roommate to a condominium with high ceilings and two bedrooms.( I didn’t, however, tell my parents for a few months that I moved.) 通过我与客户的早期接触以及在报纸上的广告，当时我已经接到了很多业务。我在奥斯汀地区出售的升级电脑，升级工具，附加零件，每月的销售额达到5万到8万美元之间。开学后不久我便从和室友共住的闷热宿舍搬出来，住进了有高高的天花板，和两个卧室的公寓套间。（然而，我是在好几个月后才把搬家的事情告诉父母的。）

In early May, about a week before I took my final exam to complete my freshman year, I incorporated the company as

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Dell Computer Corporation”, doing business as “PC’s Limited”. we moved the business from my condo to a 1000-square-foot office space in a small business center in North Austin. I hired a few people to take orders over telephone and a few more to fulfill them. Manufacturing consisted of three guys with screwdivers sitting at six-foot tables upgrading machines. Business continued to grow, and I began to think of what the potential could be if I could devote myself to the venture, full- time.

五月初，大约是我一年级期末考试前一周吧，我的“戴尔电脑公司成立”，以股份公司形式经营“个人电脑”。公司的地址也从我的公寓搬到了奥斯汀北部一个一千多尺的小商业中心写字楼里面。我雇了些人接电话订单，还有一些人负责填单。生产部有六个人，拿着螺丝起子坐在六英尺的桌子旁升级电脑。业务逐渐扩大，我也开始考虑如果我全心全意的扑在生意上，公司是否还有潜力。

Where I came from, not going to the college is not an acceptable option. Convincing my parents to allow me to leave

school would have been impossible. So I just went ahead and did it, whatever the consequences. I finished my freshman year, and left.

不上大学在我的家乡是难以被接受的，要说服父母同意我辍学几乎是不可能的。因此我毅然不顾的我行我素。在念完一年级以后，我便离开了学校。

After a while, my parents forgave me. And a litter bit after that, I forgave them, too.

后来，我父母原谅了我。再后来，我也原谅了他们。 People asked me now, “were you scared?” Sure. 人们现在问我：“你当时害怕吗？”当然害怕。

But it turned out, the timing for PC’s Limited couldn’t have been better.

而结果证明，那个时机成立个人电脑公司再好不过。
