6、 free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books.“ This old saying goes through the long course of history, and it still enlightens the modern youth and encourages us to go further to do personal investigations, instead of always resorting to books for knowledge. Books can tell us the thi
7、ngs that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life. However, unless book knowledge is applied to practice, it remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. Hence, making personal investigations as a free man renders us an opportunity to obtain more knowledge. It is said that one learns b
8、est by doing, and I believe that it is true, whether one is successful or not. In conclusion, book knowledge opens us a world that we cannot experience personally. Meanwhile, we also need to experience by ourselves to obtain the knowledge that books can never tell us. 2 【正确答案】 Nothing Venture, Nothi
9、ng Have Now, our world is full of numerous challenges and chances. If we still hold the conservative opinion that “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush“, we will miss many chances the world provides for us. As the old saying goes, “Nothing venture, nothing have. “ We should have the guts to t
10、ake risks and experience new things. Actually, we are more easily to succeed in the things that we are familiar with and good at. However, fettering ourselves with such things costs us many chances to develop other interests and skills. Meanwhile, taking ventures renders us a brand-new view toward l
11、ife and world. Taking mountain climbing as an example, it is risky because we do not know what will happen in the next step. If we fear that fierce animals and hazards will approach later, what we can do is to imagine what the beauty is like on the other side of the mountain. However, if we are brav
12、e to move forward, we can enjoy and appreciate its unique beauty. To sum up, no matter what the approaching view is like, we should gallantly explore its beauty. Taking the risk entitles us to enjoy a new landscape, even a different way of life. 3 【正确答案】 On Learning and Thought Confucius, an educato
13、r and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history, explicitly expressed his view on the relationship between learning and thought in the remark “Learning without thought means labor lost, thought without learning is perilous.“ My understanding of the remark is that to study and no
14、t to contemplate the acquired knowledge is a waste of energy, while to contemplate without immersing in your studies is potentially dangerous. This proverb criticizes two wrong learning methods. The first is that if one just read something without thinking, he is unable to understand the exact meani
15、ng of what he has read, thus he cannot reasonably put the book knowledge into practice. Even worse, he may get confused. The second is that if one just sits around and aimlessly buries himself in his reverie, instead of being down-to-earth and learning practical and useful knowledge, he will end up
16、with nothing. Hence, what we should do is to combine learning with thought. Otherwise it is impossible for us to learn effectively. 4 【正确答案】 Doubt Is the Key to Knowledge As a Persian proverb says, “Doubt is the key to knowledge.“ The existence of doubt prompts us to dig out the truth and then gain
17、brand-new knowledge. Doubt is uncertainty about the truth. But the so-called truths may be only assumptions that most people believe, until doubt occurs and new evidence that proves the belief is wrong is found. And then a new truth comes into being. The present knowledge is mostly summarized based
18、on what we have found before. If we had not got problems and doubts in our daily life, we would be satisfied with what we have already known and stay stagnant. But due to doubt, we keep asking questions about the current knowledge and searching for answers to those questions may lead to a clearer un
19、derstanding of knowledge. Doubting leads us to advance and renew the knowledge. Continuous doubts cast on the accepted knowledge render us an opportunity to investigate further, and then discover new knowledge or renew the current one. 5 【正确答案】 Genius Is Nothing but Labor and Diligence The old sayin
20、g “Genius is nothing but labor and diligence“ fully expresses the relationship between genius and diligence, and also informs us of the significance of diligence. Definitely, no one can deny its importance. Mendeleev, a Russian Chemist, once commented that genius only means hard-working all ones lif
21、e. When people acclaimed Lu Xun, a literary giant and a great thinker, as genius, he said calmly: “There is no genius. I only spent the time on my job, instead of drinking Coffee as others do. His simple words illustrate that he is diligent and hard-working. Otherwise, he would not have made such gr
22、eat achievements. Try it the other way round. If one is always idling around, lying on the grass with his eyes looking at the sky, even if he is extremely talented, he will achieve nothing and success will never fall on him from the sky. Without diligence and struggle, one will end up with nothing.
