6、e Equals to Real-world Skills The picture depicted above is about a conversation between a graduate and an interviewer. When asked about what real-world skills he masters, the student responds that he can take tests. As far as I am concerned, outstanding academic performance is a good prediction of
7、the successful mastery of real-world skills. As a famous saying goes, practice is in great need of theory. Here practice is considered as real-world skills and theory refers to academic knowledge. For one thing, without a solid academic foundation, its more troublesome and time-consuming to conduct
8、practical work. Besides, the insufficiency of expertise will even account for serious mistakes in some special industries, such as medicine, engineering. For another, some good qualities, which are musts for work, can be embodied in a persons academic pursuit. Its universally known that academic pro
9、gress requires innovation, patience, persistence and cooperation. All these merits pave way for students success in their future career development. Although graduates may be lacking in practical skills at the first beginning, good academic performance guarantees that they are equipped with rich the
10、ories and necessary merits for wonderful performance in the future work. 2 【正确答案】 On the Importance of Mutual Understanding Nowadays many people are so focused on their own interests that they barely consider the feelings of others. As a result, misunderstandings, or even conflicts, arise. It is imp
11、ortant for people to understand each other during a conversation, or in the interpersonal communication. For one thing, mutual understanding makes it easy for both parties to reach an agreement on the topic they are discussing. This may help solve the most difficult issues among different cultures,
12、countries or communities. For another, for people who are friendly to each other, this mutual understanding can definitely strengthen the love and friendship between them. Both the speaker and the listener can do much to help gain mutual understanding. On the one hand, the speaker should try his bes
13、t to express himself clearly, correctly, vividly and forcefully. On the other hand, the listener should also make every effort to be very attentive. Most importantly, both parties should take a friendly attitude towards the other side. 3 【正确答案】 Lectures and Discussions Lectures and discussions are t
14、wo main styles of teaching in universities, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some students are in favor of lectures, while others enjoy discussions very much. Lecturing is the most traditional teaching method in China, because it is considered highly efficient. Students can get use
15、d to lectures easily, for most of them have been taught in this way since primary school. Teachers play a very important role in lectures, while students seldom have chances to speak. On the contrary, discussions allow students to have chances to interact with each other. Whats more, students have m
16、ore freedom and initiative in class where they can express their ideas freely and ask any questions about the topic. However, this class can easily go out of control if there is no restriction. As for me, I prefer discussions to lectures because of the open atmosphere However, teachers should take c
17、harge of the discussions to help students learn more. 4 【正确答案】 Innovation Distinguishes between a Leader and a Follower The co-founder of Apple Inc Steve Jobs remarked, “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.“ Such a remark makes a lot of sense to me. Innovation can give companies
18、 a competitive advantage, which is likely to make them a leader in the market. However, innovation can easily lead to imitation. Some companies just follow in another companys footsteps, so they cant make any noticeable impact. There is a typical example listed as follow. Apple Inc is one of the mos
19、t successful companies in the world, whose products gain a great deal of popularity. When it comes to the reason why its so influential, Jobss remark may answer the question. Apple Inc attaches great importance to innovation, which can be seen from its new version of high-tech electronic products ev
20、ery year. On the contrary, many companies pay little attention to innovation and try every means to imitate Apples products, especially iPhone. Although they are really good at imitation, they seriously lack innovation or uniqueness, which makes them end up unknown or notorious. From what has been d
21、iscussed above, we can come to a conclusion that innovation is the touchstone, which distinguishes a leader from a follower. Therefore, its vital for us to cultivate innovative abilities. 5 【正确答案】 Attend Parents Meeting with a Good Image In the picture, a son is presenting a parents meeting notice t
22、o his father. In the meantime, the son is asking his dad to “polish shoes, use hair mousse, and best of all, drive a car“. His father is astounded by the succession of requests. The intention of the picture is probably to offer a lesson about the shocking materialistic pursuit of some children at su
23、ch a tender age. This materialistic mindset is instilled from the society and compounded by peer pressure. As far as I am concerned, teachers and parents need to work together to prevent children from being polluted by materialism First, teachers should behave properly and should not discriminate st
24、udents from poor families. Each student should be treated equally, regardless of his background. Second, parents should set good examples to their kids. For instance, parents are advised not to show off their wealth, material gains or superiority over others. Instead, they must teach their kids the importance of sharing things with and offering assistance to each other. In short, children are the mirror of their parents and teachers. With the combined efforts of teachers and parents, kids will be less affected by the materialistic world.
