【题目】 The concept of peace is a very important one in cultures all over the world. Think about how we greet people. In some languages, the phrases for greetings contain the word for peace. In some cultures we greet people by shaking hands or with another gesture to show that we are not carrying weapons – that we come in peace. And there are certain symbols which people in very different cultures recognize as representing peace. Let’s look at a few of them.

The dove

The dove has been a symbol of peace and innocence for thousands of years in many different cultures. In ancient Greek mythology it was a symbol of love and the renewal of life. In ancient Japan a dove carrying a sword symbolized the end of war. There was a tradition in Europe that if a dove flew around a house where someone was dying then their soul would be at peace. And there are legends which say that the devil can turn himself into any bird except for a dove. In Christian art, the dove was used to symbolize the Holy Ghost and was often painted above Christ's head. But it was Pablo Picasso who made the dove a modern symbol of peace when he used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress in 1949.

The rainbow

The rainbow is another ancient and universal symbol, often representing the connection between human beings and their gods. In Greek mythology it was associated with Iris, the goddess who brought messages from the gods on Mount Olympus. In Scandinavian mythology the rainbow was a bridge between the gods and the earth. In the Bible a rainbow showed Noah that the Biblical flood was finally over, and that God had forgiven his people. In the Chinese tradition, the rainbow is a common symbol for marriage because the colours represent the union of yin and yang. Nowadays the rainbow is used by many popular movements for peace and the environment, representing the possibility of a better world in the future and promising sunshine after the rain.

The olive branch

The olive tree has always been a valuable source of food and oil. In Greek mythology, the goddess Athena gave the olive tree to the people of Athens, who showed their gratitude by naming the city after her. But no one knows for sure when or why it began to symbolize peace. There is probably a connection with ancient Greece. Wars between states were suspended during the Olympic Games, and the winners were given crowns of olive branches. The symbolism may come from the fact that the olive tree takes a long time to produce fruit, so olives could only be cultivated successfully in long periods of peace. Whatever the history, the olive branch is a part of many modern flags symbolizing peace and unity. One well-known example is the United Nations symbol.

A pen has always been a(n) 1 tool when it comes to taking exams. However, in this digital age, this traditional tool may become a thing of the past.

Cambridge University in Britain is considering ending 800 years of written exams and allowing students to use laptops or ipads to take exams instead.

The move comes after Cambridge teachers complained that students’ handwriting is becoming too hard to recognize. The 2 in being able to write neatly could largely be down to the 3 on laptops in lectures and elsewhere.

“There has definitely been a(n) 4 trend. It is difficult for both the students and the examiners as it is harder and harder to read these scripts," Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at the university, told The Telegraph.

As a result, more and more students with poor handwriting are being 5 to return to university during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud to university administrators

However, some 6 the move, fearing the handwritten word would become a lost art. Tracy Trussell, a handwriting expert at the British Institute of Graphologists, 7 Cambridge to " make sure that students continue to write by hand, particularly in lectures". She told The Telegraph that writing by hand could help students improve their memory and understand lessons better.

Meanwhile, there are also concerns that primary and secondary schools could follow Cambridge's example

In fact, a similar plan was carried out for some first- and second-year students at Edinburgh University in the UK in 2011, reported The Scotsman. Senior officials at the university believed it was 8 to expect students to use pens and paper during exams when most of their coursework was done using computers.

The move also echoes the opinions of Harvard professor Eric Mazur, known as the father of the" flipped classroom(翻转课堂). He believes that the rise of mobile Internet 9 means that we live in an age in which we don’t need to memorize anything Students should be tested on their creative and 10 skills, rather than the ability to remember information, he said during the Times Higher Education World Academic Summit in September.
