13、motion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a persons thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. The

14、y believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.

22、e at a typewriter. “Youve got to want to write,“ I say to them . “not want to be a writer“. The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poorly-paid affair.

45、age in the modern world are obvious. Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more easily and more quickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise and there can be no real communication between people of diff

46、erent nationalities. There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the existing major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple because no existing major language will be acceptable to everyone and because an artificial langua

47、ge, such as Esperanto(世界语 ), has no literature and would be thought dull by many learners. It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers, but there are certai
