9、ducated Together or Separately?There are different opinions concerning the issue whether children of different abilities should be educated together or separately. Though it is true that children can be given special treatment when educated separately, I still think it more beneficial to teach child
10、ren together.In the first place, children of different abilities can share with and learn from one another when they are educated together. As is known to all, every person is unique. Children of various abilities and interests being educated together get more opportunities to learn about themselves
11、 and other children. When they understand themselves and others better and be more aware of their own defects and merits, they may try to eliminate the defects and strengthen the merits by learning from peers. Undoubtedly, this helps children to grow.In addition, learning together, children can beco
12、me more cooperative and learn to get along well with others. When children of different abilities work together to face a challenge, they treat the issue from different viewpoints, and in the process learn to express themselves and to understand others different opinions. They learn to negotiate, to
13、 compromise and to reach agreement. These are all useful communicative skills for their future life.Finally, mixed education can promote all-around development of childrens characters, while on the contrary, separate education may probably end up hindering their potential development in the future.
14、It is widely acknowledged that ones talent in different fields does not develop to the same extent. For example, a child may seem to be talented in painting at age 5, but his real life-time interest may be in dancing. If at age 5, he were put to learn with other children of the same interest (i.e.,
15、painting), he would probably be deprived of the possibility of learning to dance altogether. However, on the contrary, there are no such risks with mixed education.To sum up, I think it better to teach children of different abilities together. It helps the children to understand each others strength
16、s and shortcomings, to develop their social skills, and to promote development of their whole potentials. Even though separate education may be more efficient in addressing each individuals strengths, its risk of possibly depriving the child of his potentials is so severe that it is just unacceptabl

What is happiness to you? Write an essay of about 400 words entitled:HAPPINESS（分数：20.00）_正确答案：(范文HAPPINESSWhat is hap
18、piness? Different people have different ideas. Some people are rich; they think they are happy. Other people have many friends, and they feel happy. For children, happiness often suggests getting goodies or playing with toys. For a stamp collector, stamps bring more delight than meals. And for a sci
19、entist, a discovery or an invention rather than anything else gives him the greatest satisfaction. So we know that happiness has much to do with wealth, friendship, material satisfaction, career achievements, and so on. However, all these things alone do not necessarily bring about happiness. The wa
20、y you treat them decides whether you will be happy or not. That is, it is ones inner state of mind that decides happiness.First, external materials do not necessarily make one happy. Material shortage or poverty may cause troubles to us, but those with great hope and an optimistic mind can easily ov
21、ercome them. Actually, many poor people live happily. On the other hand, there is no lack of news about millionaires committing suicide. Therefore, we cannot depend on material success to be happy.Then, we may feel good when we are loved, cared, admired or respected by others. However, if we look in
22、to these spiritual matters deeper, we understand that it is not others love, care, admiration or respect that makes us happy; it is our own feelings that make us happy. No one can please all others; there are always some people who are kind to you and some who are hostile to you. Therefore, whether
23、you feel happy or not depends on how much you can please those you really care. That explains why Leslie Chan was unhappy and committed suicide even though he had so many fans who loved him so much.If external material and spiritual matters-do not bring about happiness, then we have to conclude that
24、 happiness come from our own mind. For example, imagine you will earn one million yuan this year. Will you be happy then? Maybe. If last year you only earned 500 thousand yuan, or if all your neighbors, colleagues and friends only earn 900 thousand yuan, there is good reason for you to feel happy. B
25、ut suppose you earned 5 million yuan last year, or suppose all those you know earn 2 million yuan each, it is doubtful you will still be so happy. Yes, happiness is related to how you define yourself against a certain background.In a word, happiness, though closely related to external material and s
26、piritual matters such as wealth, health, and others care and love, in essence depends on how one treats himself, others and the world.)解析：3.To tell the truth is not always essential.

27、agree with this statement? Write an essay of about 400 words to state your view.（分数：20.00）_正确答案：(范文When to Tell LiesDont tell lies! Our parents and teachers told us when we were very young. However, during the course of growing up, we began to realize that that might be the biggest lie we have ever
28、been told. We know that we all have at one time or another told lies.So when do we tell lies? Why do we tell lies even though we know that we should not? Roughly speaking, we tell lies for two reasons.First, lies are told for social purposes. For instance, you say, You look so beautiful today! You r
29、eally sing well. Its fantastic. Dont worry. Its just a minor operation. You will recover soon. You are a great cook. However; the truth is, you think she puts on too much cosmetics and sings terribly; she is so sick that the operation might face serious risks; and the beef is too tough. You do no te
30、ll the truth because you do not want to make her unhappy, because you want to show that you are well-educated, polite, and good-mannered, because you want to maintain your friendly relationship with her. Such lies for social purposes are normally called white lies. We do not tell white lies to cheat
31、, but to ease social interaction. Therefore, they are very common in life.Second, lies are told to gain military, economic or political benefits. Here we also have two different types of lies: those told to cheat our enemies, and those told to cheat our customers, friends, acquaintances, and other o
32、rdinary people. Lies used to cheat our enemies are always praised, and they are related to wisdom. We are happy that Hitler was cheated to believe that the allies would attack Calais instead of Normandy, and we all admire Zhuge Liangs wisdom to cheat Sima Yi into believing that the town where Zhuge
33、Liang was was well prepared for Sima Yis attack. However, on the other hand, we all resent lies used to cheat us. We are all familiar with lies related to medicines, foods, tourist services, and even governmental statistics. These lies have greatly undermined our benefits, and have done great harm t
34、o the economy, commercial ethics, and social harmony of our country. Measures to stop them must be taken as soon as possible.All in all, there are two kinds of lies:, those used to facilitate communication, and those used to cheat. It is desirable to lie for social purposes and admirable to lie to o

37、obal warming is a term always emerging in news headlines, which brings with it sensational statistics and horrible scenes. Undoubtedly, it is a serious and urgent problem for all of us living on the planet. As a university student, I firmly believe that each individual can do our own part to help ad
38、dress this problem.Firstly, we should have enough education on global warming. It should be made clear that global warming is a fact actually happening, and tons of scientific statistics have proved that. We should learn more about what the mainstream science says about it and persuade others to mak
39、e simple changes in daily life to help alleviate it. People should be educated to understand why some details in our daily life matter and how they can do something to help. If more and more people know the severeness of this issue, public awareness and consciousness will be aroused.Secondly, we sho
40、uld shop local and buy less if necessary. Oil-burning and vehicle exhaust are the main sources of green gas. Produce and products made locally consume fewer amounts of oil and gas used in transportation chain. In other words, if we shop local, we can spare much carbon foot-prints, apart from saving
41、money. What is more, if we pursue a simple lifestyle and purchase less, fewer products will be consumed. Since fewer product consumption mean less waste to some extent, we can help build a low-carbon world.Thirdly, we should have the awareness of recycling. Many things can be recycled and reused. As
42、 some thinker said, the waste is just something valuable in wrong places. We can make the most of everything that can be used more than one time. For instance, the blank side of a printed paper can be used again, food-class plastic containers can be washed and reused.Fourthly, we can reduce the usag
43、e of biologically non-degradable items. Plastic bags, for example, are usually non-degradable although convenient to use. If we prepare shopping bags for ourselves, we dont need to have plastic bags for holding shopped items. Thus, we help alleviate the pressure that the non-degradable waste poses o
