【题目】Should Shanghai bid for(申办) the Summer Olympics in 2028? Here are some people’s opinions.

Some people said, “The games will improve Shanghai’s global influence and the city is powerful and must try to become a platform(平台) for major international dialogues. Shanghai has succeeded in holding the World Expo in 2010 and the city can also hold a successful Summer Olympics.”

Others, however, are not sure whether it’s a good idea. They think the Olympics would be too expensive and the money could be better spent on other things.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics brought much prestige(声望) to the city and to China, but its cost, over $40 million, was high and the Olympic site(场地) in the center of the city is now largely unused. Could Shanghai learn from Beijing’s experience and do it better?

My answer is yes. As one American said, “A great city has to do great things.” Shanghai is a great city and is not afraid of facing challenges. Holding the 2028 Summer Olympics would prove that.

【题目】Some people think that chicken soup is good for a cold. Others believe that it is unhealthy to eat meat. The question is, are they right??

Here are some facts.

For centuries, people have believed that chicken soup helps to fight a cold. Now, doctors say it may be true. They think that chicken soup has something that stops a cold from getting worse. Heat from the soup can also make a person feel better.

Many people think that it is unhealthy to have meat. It is untrue that meat, especially red meat, has protein(蛋白质) that the body needs. A person who doesn’t eat meat can get enough protein and be healthy by eating tofu, eggs and some vegetables.

A study shows that tea is better than coffee. Tea has something that can protect your heart, fight cancer and make you less fat. Coffee does not do this.

Many people believe that bread and potatoes can easily make people fat. In fact, bread and potatoes do not have fat in them. But eating too much and no exercising can make people fat. Also, adding things like butter to them can raise the chance of becoming fat.

【题目】When you wave to a friend, you are using body language. When you smile at someone you mean to be friendly. When you put one finger in front of your mouth, you mean “be quiet”. Yet, people in different countries may use different body languages.

Once an Englishman was in Italy. He could speak little Italian. One day while he was walking in the street, he felt hungry and went into a restaurant. When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips. In this way, he meant to say, “Bring me something to eat.” But the waiter brought him a lot of things to drink, first tea, then coffee and then milk, but no food.

The Englishman was sorry because he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry. He was ready to leave the restaurant when another man came in. The man put his hands on his stomach, and this body language was good enough for the waiter. In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat.

Finally the Englishman had his meal in the same way.
