12、inutes) 1 【正确答案】 At the moment Im living in an apartment downtown. My uncle and aunt, as well as their young son. Yes, I really enjoy apartment living because its safe, easy and convenient. High-rise apartment buildings are definitely the most common where I live. Probably because thats all there re
13、ally is until you get to the outskirts of the city. Im studying medicine at university. No, not really. I really enjoy every class although some teachers are better than others. Yes. They require us to memorize a lot, of course, and that takes up a lot of my free time. I hope I can join a volunteer
14、organization and get some experience that way. Thats why Im also learning English. Mainly through Face book and social networking sites like that. For me its the easiest way and all of my friends are on there. Just that its so easy and you can log on any time of the day and catch up with what your f
15、riends are doing all over the world. Not really. Some people say they spend too much time online, staring at a computer screen. But I dont mind that. Its just the way socializing works now. The only thing I would say is that I think it is more difficult to keep in touch with people one on one, as it
16、s quite a group form of communicating. Although in saying that you can always private-message people anyway which is similar to email. Sometimes I find it annoying when people dont check their pages very often. It depends on the type of art. i definitely enjoy photographic exhibitions and modem art,
17、 but Im not really keen on the classic, old-fashioned types of paintings and so on. I find landscapes really boring and I hate sketches and art with no colour or life. As I said, I enjoy modem art the most because I think it is more interesting. We had art as an elective at high school, and we learn
18、ed to do all sorts working with clay, photography, painting and sketching. Our art teacher was really passionate about all forms of art. That depends on how you define an artist.

19、ne is a photographer who only takes extreme close-ups of people so that one tiny aspect of their face is shown. The results are fascinating.

20、as a little girl I used to love pink and purple. Im not sure why, probably because they are thought of as quite feminine colours I guess. I havent really thought about that. I think everyone has their own preferences, particularly related to what they wear. Many of my friends wear a lot of black but
21、 Im not sure if that is their favorite colour as such. Some colours have a meaning of good luck, including red, which symbolizes wealth and good fortune. Other colours like white stand for purity, but beyond that I cant really think of any strong meanings or significance. 2 【正确答案】 An important decis
22、ion I made was quite recently, about three years ago. My family was very keen for me to study English abroad and gain the advantages of learning about foreign culture at the same time.

23、 wife was here in China and couldnt come with me. Then, just as we had to make the final decision and commit to buying a ticket, we found out that my wife was pregnant. So, I talked and talked with her and also with my parents, because I value their opinion also, and finally I decided that I wouldnt
24、 go abroad to study as I didnt want to miss the birth of my child and also I wanted to support my wife through her pregnancy. They really helped me to make my decision just by listening to me talk it through and giving their own opinions and ideas. The alternative that we came up with was that I wou
25、ld study here at night and work very hard on my English, with perhaps an opportunity to study at st-graduate level overseas instead of just studying English.

26、ng to travel altogether as a family to live in Oxford in the UK, where I am going to complete an MBA. And my wife has an excellent job offer there as well.

27、decision through with someone. Yes, sometimes I do and it can take me a bit of time to think things over. 3 【正确答案】 Well, I think there are many but possibly the most important decisions are in young adulthood when people usually make lots of choices about their future which career to choose, choices
28、 about marriage and starting a family and so on. These are the decisions which have such a long lasting impact on the rest of life, so they are incredibly important. Then there are the decisions which come later, maybe about finances and retirement and that type of thing. And when were younger, I su
29、ppose our choices are in some way made for us by our parents who decide which kindergarten or school we will attend. Personally, I believe its a combination of the two.

30、 certain degree of intuition, or gut-feeling can really help to guide the decision-making process. Its unexplainable, but I know that some of my best decisions have been based on intuition more than anything else. Todays society certainly confronts people with more important decisions than in the pa
31、st. For a start, there is so much more choice in lots of different areas, like in the area of career and occupation for instance.

32、e there is so much more choice and freedom and I think thats part of the reason why there are more important decisions to be made now, along with the fact that constant change is part of modem life.

34、ing, then thats a decision which will have a huge impact on many people. On the other hand, if you are deciding which house to buy then that probably only affects you and your family. Overall I think its wise to consider the potential impact of your decision in any case. I definitely believe that th
35、ere is too much choice for young people nowadays, and this creates a lot of pressure for them. Whether it is in terms of what career path to take or where to live and study, there are an overwhelming number of choices available to this generation and I think it can be extremely difficult to feel as
36、though one has made the right choice, whatever that is. However, choice provides us with options and freedom as well, so I believe its important to value that. I know that for some people this method of making decisions is very effective, as they gain perspective from talking with someone else and this process clarifies their own thought process. However, I believe that choices, in particular personal choices, are best made methodically and carefully, but alone. Sometimes people have different motives for giving advice and they cannot always be trusted to give you neutral advice.
