Fireworks-to be forbidden or not

When the Spring Festival of 2016 was around the corner, bans on fireworks frequently came out. Some citizens think it necessary to forbid setting off fireworks. For one thing, fireworks worsen air pollution and give rise to smog. For another, they often bring about fires, and even cause great loss of property in addition to severe injuries and deaths.

However, those who are opposed to banning fireworks think it the Chinese tradition to set off fireworks. It is a way of adding to atmosphere of happiness. Besides, fireworks are not set off every day, so it is absolutely not the major source of environmental problem.

Personally speaking, I think it a good idea to ban fireworks for the sake of safety. Anyway, we have many other ways of celebrating the New Year such as having parties. Above all, forbidding fireworks may well let citizens have a peaceful New Year’s Eve.

【解析】

文章结构清晰,要点齐全,语言流畅。文章使用了较高级的词汇,如be opposed to, add to, atmosphere, absolutely, for the sake of等;变换使用词汇和句式,如give rise to/bring about/cause,避免乏味;恰当地使用了衔接词,如For one thing…For another, However, Besides, Anyway等,使上下文紧凑、过度自然;结尾句起到了总结和升华主题的作用。

【题目】I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.

I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job — looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

【题目】B

Empathy(同情) is a quality that is essential to most people’s lives and yet the modern world makes it easy to lose sight of the feelings of others. But almost everyone can learn to develop this crucial personality trait(品质), says Roman Krznaric. Roman Krznaric used to regularly walk past a homeless man around the corner from where he lived in Oxford and took almost no notice of him. One day he stopped to speak to him.

It turned out his name was Alan Human and he had a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford. They afterwards developed a friendship based on their common interest in Aristotle's ethics (伦理学).

This unexpected meeting taught Roman that having conversations with strangers opens up our empathic minds. We can not only meet amazing people but also challenge the prejudices that we have about others based on their appearance, accents or backgrounds.

Furthermore, it’s about recovering the curiosity everyone had as children. Respect the advice of oral historian Studs Terkel, who always spoke to people on the bus, “Don't be an examiner, be the interested inquirer(探究者).”

The world’s first Empathy Museum, which is starting in the UK in late 2015 and will then be travelling to Australia and other countries. Amongst the unusual exhibitions will be a human library, where instead of borrowing a book you borrow a person for conversation–maybe an unhappy investment banker or a gay father. In other words, the kind of people you may not get to meet in everyday life.

As the psychologist and inventor of emotional intelligence Daniel Goleman puts it, without empathy a person is “emotionally tone deaf”. It's clear that with a little effort nearly everyone can put more of their empathic potential to use. So try putting on your empathy shoes and make an adventure of looking at the world through the eyes of others.

【1】Why did Roman and Alan become good friends?

A. They helped each other.

B. They felt pity for each other.

C. They shared the same interest.

D. They had to depend on each other.

【2】What should adults learn from children?

A. Never judge by appearances.

B. Be curious about others.

C. Never talk to strangers.

D. Always be polite.

【3】According to Paragraph 5, a human library you can .

A. act as a librarian

B. borrow your favorite books

C. meet ordinary people in life

D. expect a talk with someone special

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to Daniel Goleman?

A. Emotional intelligence cannot be improved.

B. Most people don’t have empathy for others.

C. It is important to develop empathy for others.

D. Deaf people have little emotional intelligence.
