段落一:
    A good example of this is Bill Gates, one of the most unique and successful pioneers of the world. Even though others couldn’t understand why he gave up his education in Harvard, one of the top universities in the world, he could still make up his mind and his insist paid off. He founded Microsoft and became one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world. Without the courage to be different with others, he will never be that successful and eminent.

    关于这件事情有个很好的例子,比尔盖茨。他是这个世界上最特别和成功的先驱者。尽管其他很多人不理解他为什么从世界最有名的大学-哈佛大学辍学。他仍然坚持他的想法并且他的坚持没有白费。他创建了微软并且成为了世界上最成功的企业家。没有他不甘同于别人的勇气,他就不会取得这样的成功和名望。

    For instance, a survey conducted by BBC, the prominent news media of the Britain, proves that 80% of the fraud has the experience of deception during his childhood. According to the report, all of those criminals’ parents showed an indifferent attitude towards their first illegal behavior as they believed their kids just made a little trick for fun. Hence, it is significant to help children distinguish the right from the wrong and tell them to be sincere when they are young.

    例如英国杰出的新闻媒体BBC的一份调查显示,80%的骗子在童年时候就有欺骗的经历。根据报道,所有罪犯的父母对孩子第一次违法的行为表现出一种无所谓的态度并认为那是孩子们的玩笑。因此,帮助孩子们从小区分什么是对什么是错以及告诉他们诚实是非常重要的。

    段落三:
    For instance, computers and the Internet provide considerable pleasure for us. On-line chatting could be one of the best methods of pastime and communicating with friends or even strangers living far away. However, several decades ago, people had to sleep after sunset every day or wait half a year to correspond with those who they missed and lived far away. Furthermore, it has been universally accepted that we could enjoy more affluent material fortune due to the development of wealth of society. Hence, it is undoubted that we have been living much better than our former generations did half a century ago.

    举个例子,电脑和网络给我们提供了非常多的娱乐。网上聊天可以作为最好的消遣以及和遥远的朋友甚至陌生人交流的方式之一。然而,几十年前,人们每天不得不在日落之后睡觉或者等待半年来和远方思念着的朋友联系。此外,随着社会财富的发展,人们可以享受到更多的物质财富,这一点已被普遍接受。因此,哈无疑问的我们已经生活的比半个世纪前的前辈们好的多。

    段落四:
    Let’s imagine a boy whose parents are going through a nasty divorce may show up late at school or miss the deadline for some assignments. If the teacher can spot his recent abnormal behavior and talk to him, the boy might trust the teacher and spout out his problem. This is the first step on the road to recovery and a considerate teacher makes a great difference.

    让我们想象正在经历一场严重的父母离婚的男孩,他可能会在学校迟到或者错过一些作业的最后期限。如果老师能够注意到他最近不寻常的举动和他交流,这个男孩可能就会相信老师并倾诉他的痛苦。这是返回正轨的第一步,一个考虑周到的体贴的老师会有很大的不同。

    段落五:
    According to one survey conducted by Tsinghua University, the most prestigious university in China, more than 80% of respondents, Tsinghua’s alumni, say changing jobs promises a more colorful and meaningful life. For them, doing a job in a field not only provides them a chance to promote their capacity for work, accumulate work experience and get a decent salary, but also offers them an opportunity to meet different kinds of coworkers or competitors, from whom they can touch creative ideas, interesting life styles, and diversified cultural backgrounds. All of those make horizons broadened and life enriched.

    根据中国最有名的大学-清华大学的一个调查, 超过80%的受访者,清华的毕业生,他们认为换工作可以让生活更加丰富多彩和有意义。他们从事某一领域的工作,不仅给他们一个积累工作经验和体面薪水的机会,还给他们提供了认识各种同事和竞争者的机会,从中他们可以接触到创造性的想法,有趣的生活方式以及多样化的文化背景,这些都让视野开阔,生活丰富。

    段落六:
    Take language learning for example. The process of learning a language, especially a foreign language, is a long and arduous one. The learner may often feel that no progress has been made despite all his efforts. If, at this point, someone tells him that his English is much better than before—-even though it may not be true—-he will soon regain his confidence and continue his learning with a more positive attitude. But if what he hears is the harsh truth—-little progress can be seen in his English—-chances are that he will soon lose heart and give it up altogether. Thus we see that telling lies can sometimes be beneficial.

    就拿学习语言来说,尤其是学习外国语言的过程,是漫长而又费力的。学习者常常会感到尽管付出了很多努力,但是依然毫无所获。在这个时候,如果有些人告诉他他的英语已经比之前好多了,尽管有时候这不是真的,他会很快重拾信心并继续用一种积极的态度学习。但如果他听到的是残酷的事实,他的英语看不到一点进步,他很有可能很快就会灰心,然后完全放弃。因此我们可以看到谎言有时候是有益的。

    可用话题:
    l 善意的谎言
    l 鼓励的力量
    l 鼓励的例子可以改编为朋友的鼓励,老师,同学,家人,走出低谷。


    段落七:
    For example, families are not to encouraged to tell some terminally ill patients that they are dying in three weeks and nothing could be done to prolong their lives because many would be devastated by the news and even suffer a nervous breakdown, which often leads to further deterioration. Hence, to let the ones involved be ignorant is the best policy just as an old saying goes, ‘Ignorance is kind’.

    例如,家人们不被鼓励去告诉一些临终的病人他们只有三周时间就要去世了,并且不能做任何事情来延长生命,因为很多人会因为这个消息心力憔悴,甚至精神崩溃,这往往会导致进一步的恶化。因此,让与之相关的人不被知道是最好的策略,就像一句老话所说:无知是福。

    l 关于谎言
    l 关于保持乐观的话题,有一个好的心态

    For example, my friend Michael served as a Market Analyst in a renowned company in Beijing. However, he couldn’t see any progress in recent years and then an opportunity came out. Because of his five-year working experience, a foreign trade cooperation tried to recruit him as the Market Analyst because the firm was planning to start a new program. Then he grasped the chance and earned a challenging but interesting job even though he was required to work in Shanghai. However, our relationships have not experienced any interruption and his strong ability of being adapted to the new environment helps him to make lots of new friends. Accordingly, moving to a new city can help to break the deadlock in our professions.

    例如我的朋友Michael 在北京的一家知名公司当市场分析师。然而最近几年他没有看到任何进展,一个机会出现了。由于他五年的工作经验,一个外贸公司想要招聘他作为市场分析师,因为该公司正在计划启动一个新项目。然后他抓住了机会赢得了一个有趣但富有挑战性的工作他被要求在上海工作。然而,我们的关系没有中断,他很强的适应新环境的能力让他认识了很多新朋友。因此,搬到一个新城市可以帮我们打破职业上的困境。

    段落十:
    According to a recent survey conducted by some concerned department, over 80% respondents of white collar workers in Beijing say they spend more than 2 hours on commuting everyday. The time spent in enduring the crowdedness on a bus or the money cost during the waiting time in a taxi are a waste and terrible experience each day. What’s worse, in order to attend school on time, many students have to get up as early as 6am in the morning to avoid the traffic congestion. But if governments could give their top priority to the improvement of public transportation, convenient and comfortable daily trips may be guaranteed and thus citizens could devote more time and energy to work, study or rest.

    根据最近相关部门的研究,超过80%在北京的白领受访者认为他们每天花费超过2小时在通勤上。在公共汽车上忍受拥挤或是金钱的浪费,每天都是一种可怕的经历和浪费。更严重的是,为了准时到学校,许多学生不得不在六点前起床来避免交通拥堵。但是如果政府能够把改善交通作为最优先的考虑,保证每日出行的方便和舒适,这样公民就可以把更多时间和精力投入到工作,学习或休息上。
