点评 英语写作是一项主观性较强的测试题.它不仅考查学生的写作基础而且还考查学生在写作过程中综合运用语言的能力.在撰写时要注意主谓语一致,时态呼应,用词贴切等.要提高英语写作水平,需要两方面的训练:一是语言基础方面的训练,要有扎实的造句、翻译等基本功,即用词法、句法等知识造出正确无误的句子;二是写作知识和能力 方面的训练以掌握写作方面的基本方法和技巧.
The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008.At that time,the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22and 25.Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies.But the people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.However,women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men did.
The researchers also considered possible influence like having young children,being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
So why would happiness increase with age?One theory is that,as people get older,they become more thankful for all that they have and have better control of their emotions.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.In a study published this year,people in their eighties reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.
Researchers surveyed more than 150,000American adults.The study,led by Michael Grander at the University of Pennsylvania,appeared in the journal Sleep.
The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.The survey did find an increase during middle age,especially in women.But except for that,people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.

He responded that,in his opinion,it all came from a(n)(38)A with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to(39)C a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell,(40)A its contents all over the kitchen floor-a veritable sea of milk!
When his mother came into the kitchen,instead of(41)B at him,giving him a lecture or punishing him,she said,"Robert,what a great and wonderful(42)B you have made!I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk.Well,the(43)D has already been done.Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes(44)D we clean it up?"
Indeed,he did.After a few(45)C,his mother said,"You know,Robert,whenever you make a mess like this,eventually you have to clean it up and (46)A everything to its proper order."And together they cleaned up the spilled milk.
His mother then said,"You know,what we have here is a (47)B experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands.Let's go out in the back yard and (48)A water into the bottle and see if you can discover a way to carry it without (49)B it."The little boy (50)C that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands,he could make it.What a wonderful (51)D!
This renowned scientist then(52)C that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes.Instead,he learned that mistakes were just(53)C for learning something new,which is,after all,what scientific(54)D are all about.Even if the experiment"doesn't work,"we usually learn something (55)A from it.

This is not the first time Apple's marketing strategy(策略) has caused such trouble among the buying public,for similar trouble (43)A in January last year when the first release launch of the iPhone 4was made.
Apple's clever marketing has made the company's products (44)Jlifestyle accessories(附件) for many,but this strategy will (45)H result in mass rushes and disturbances and if it continues with this marketing strategy,it is only a matter of time before one of its product launches ends in (46)C.
Intentionally fuelling demand by limiting a product release to create a state of panic among consumers,who fear they may not get their hands on their objects of desire,is not only immoral but also (47)I.
Apple should take the lessons from the experience of Unilever(联合利华).The giant consumer goods company was (48)D 2million yuan in May 2011by the Chinese government for repeatedly spreading rumors(谣言) of price rises.
Apple has the ability to make it easier for consumers to order new products online or by telephone.Apple cannot afford to (49)Ethe Chinese market,so it has no excuse for not changing its strategy so as to avoid such incidents in the future.
The US film industry has shown a lot of interest in developing its business in China.The reasons for this are clear. China has a population of over 1.3billion and,with the standard of living rising all the time,the US film industry wants a slice (一片)of the profits.There are thousands of new cinemas being added throughout China.Technology is also improving all the time,meaning that more and more cinemas are able to show films in 3D or IMAX format(形式).
There is now a greater possibility of the US film industry earning more from the Chinese market.Now an agreement has been signed that will allow the number of foreign films a year to be increased to 34.This agreement with China will offer thousands of Americans jobs in and around the film industry.In addition,studios will be able to get 25%of the box office proceeds(收益),This was previously limited to about 13.5%. The real winners of the agreement will be The China Film Group and the Chinese cinema owners who make the largest profits.
The new deal is a huge step in the right direction.Even better.it will hopefully cut down on the Chinese bootleg DVD industry,which has long taken advantage of the fact that most Western films won't be shown in Chinese cinemas.
Title:Why China is important to the US film industry | |
(76)Introduction | During the early 1990s,people felt very(77)excitedwhen a foreign film was introduced to China. Only 20films from abroad could be shown in Chinese cinemas until February 2012. |
(78)Reasons | The US film industry wants to make a(79)profit from the Chinese market because of its huge population and rapid development. More and more new cinemas will be built in the future 3D or IMAX films will be shown in cinemas because of the (80)improvementin technology. |
(81)Advantagesof the agreement made by the US and China | It can solve the employment problem,(82)offering thousands of Americans jobs in and around the film industry. Studios can(83)get more proceeds than before The China Film Group and the Chinese cinema owners will be the(84)realwinners of the agreement. It can (85)protect the DVD industry against bootlegs. |
