Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient \"sage\" . His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analects has had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years' traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius' thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucius thought not
only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it is also wins an increasing attention from the international community.

1) I am very close to my parents. In fact, we are like friends. I never keep a secret from them. When I have problems, I ask them for their advice. They give me directions about life. I like this relationship with my parents, and I think this is what parent-child relationship should be like.
2) If | were not very close to my parents, I would do the following to improve our relationship:
Find out where the problem is and talk to my parents about it; do something that makes them happy; call them often when I am away from home; keep them informed of what I am doing; care for their feelings; be open and willing to communicate.

1) The daughter bought a large and expensive vehicle probably because her mother advised her to buy a practical and gas-efficient car. The daughter did this on purpose because at this age, she was being rebellious.
2) The mother wants to show that although her daughter tries to show she is an adult, actually she is not.
3) The mother is happy that her daughter is independent now, but on the other hand, she feels doubtful whether her daughter could take good care of herself.
4) The mother wants to show that her daughter is not ready to be an adult yet.
5) The mother puts her daughter' S books onto a single shelf to deal with later.
6) The mother finds an envelope with items such as old family photographs, letters, greeting cards, and love notes they gave their daughter and sees the words \"DO NOT THROW AWAY\" marked on the envelope. Her attitude then changes.
7) At first the mother decides to throw some of the items away and donate the rest to charity. After she sees the brown envelope, she changes her mind and puts them back in place.
8) Because the mother knows that the sweet childhood memories will bring her daughter
back.
Critical thinking
1) If I were the daughter, I would be very much touched when I read the article. I would call my mom to say sorry for acting rebelliously and would tell her how much I love her. Probably I would return home as soon as I can.
2) I don' t think it is wise to refuse parents' advice or even do the opposite without a good reason. Your parents care about you more than anybody else and always want to share their experience with you. If you fllw their advice, you can at least learn from their experience and avoid making some silly mistakes. If you don' t take their advice, you may still get experience - but in a hard way. Besides, your parents may directly point out your weaknesses that your peers wouldn' t. So, listening to your parents' advice can make you smarter and help you grow mature.
3) Good communication will, in my view, help build a good relationship. The following are my ways to strengthen communication with my parents:
Visit them whenever possible; invite them to see what I am doing at college; teach them to use new communication tools, such as WeChat and Skype, so that they can communicate with me wherever I am; try to look at things from their perspectives; and share with them my feelings, problems or ambitions.
4) Although there is no standard pattern for a good prent-child relationship, some
common factors can contribute to a more successful relationship: Respect each other; support and encourage each other; understand each other; love each other; have fun together; and be friends.
5) Yes, many parents are expecting too m children. First, most families have only one child and parents want to make a perfect child out of them. Second, competition is intense in school and at work today. So parents want their children to learn as much as possible so as to gain advantages over others in competition. It' S not uncommon that some parents force their children to achieve what is even hard for adults. But they ignore the fact that winning is not the only important thing and that children should have their own enjoyment and preferences. No, I don' t think parents today are expecting too much of their children. Competition is becoming increasingly intense in school and at the workplace. So it is natural for parents to help their children to make full use of their talent and become as competitive as possible. They know better about how far their children can go . Besides, more and more parents, including my parents, think it is more important for their children to be healthy and happy. Of course, while they expect that their children study hard and achieve success, they should at the same time see to it that their children are not overworking themselves.

Parents may get disappointed when you fail to meet their expectations. They may strongly object to your lifestyle and complain that you are wasting time on unimportant things. To solve this problem, you may try to make them understand that you are a responsible person. First tell them that you have inherited many of their merits. Then remind them that you have your own thoughts and life goals as an individual. You can also explain how your lifestyle will help you in a positive way. You may not be able to change your parents' opinions overnight, but if you keep trying, it will eventually work.

圣诞节是一 个被广泛庆祝的文化节日，全世界有许许多多的人在12月25日庆祝这一节日。它是为了纪念耶稣的延辰。该节日最早可追溯到公元336年。渐渐地，这一节日演变为一个既是宗教又是非宗教的节日， 越来越多的非教徒也庆祝圣诞节。如今圣诞节在全球被作为一个重大的节日和公共假日来庆祝。不同的国家的圣诞节风俗也各不相同。现代流行的圣诞节风俗包括交换圣诞贺卡和圣诞物、唱圣诞歌曲、参加交谈活动、摆放各种圣诞装饰品和圣诞树、举行家庭聚会以及准备一 顿特别的大餐。对小孩子们来说，这个节日充满幻想和惊喜。 据传说，圣诞老人会在圣诞夜从烟囱进入每户人家，给乖巧听话的孩子带来礼物。由于圣诞节送礼物以及许多其他方面推动了徒和非徒的经济活动，圣诞节也因此成为商家的一个重要活动和主要销售季。
According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August 15 of every year is a traditional Chinese festival-the Mid-Autumn Festival. This day is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn.

5) They used the money to wire dorms with high-speed connections and equip their campuses with Wi-Fi networks.
6) Because the university was afraid that its technology was not as advanced as that of other universities, it gave away free Apple iPads to compensate for its inferiority in this aspect.
7) If a university can' t keep up with the rest of the world, or if it can' t provide high-bandwidth information as expected, it will be at a competitive disadvantage.
8) It is mainly because they want to provide students the most advance free system.
Critical thinking
1) Yes, I think so. Internet access is a must on campus. We students need the Internet to do research for our study, to obtain information to broaden our knowledge of the world, to communicate with family and friends, and to enrich our lives in our spare time. No, I don' t think so. There are many potential disadvantages if Internet access is so easily accessible on campus. Some students may waste too much time in playing online games or chatting online, be tempted to visit \"unhealthy\" websites, or even become Internet-addicted and neglect their study.
2) It sounds like an awful idea to me. Obtaining knowledge is only part of learning. Learning not only gives us a wealth of knowledge, it also provides us with great vision, strong principles, social abilities, good manners, interpersonal skills and many more valuable attributes. This obviously cannot be I realized be learning at home only with the computer.
I think it is a good idea that students can study at home via the internet in the future. Learning would become more flexible and accessible. This way college education could become available to many more people, old or young, near of far, healthy or handicapped.
3) The Internet and smart phones have become an indispensable part of our daily life because they don' t cost much and they make communication much more convenient. We can talk to people, or leave them messages almost anywhere and anytime. And very often we will get responses in no time. With the Internet and smartphones becoming more and more
popular, we are forgetting how to write with a pen or how talk with people face to face. The more we use the Internet and smartphones, the les we meet our friends in real life. Even when friends meet face tot ace, instead of talking with each other, they all look at their smartphones, checking email or posting something on WeChat.
4) Life would be unimaginable without the Internet or smartphones. I depend on them to do everything, from study to communication, from shopping to entertaining. Without the Internet, the banking system, the communications systems, in fact all key aspects closely related to people' S life will collapse. Life without the Internet would be terrible and simply unimaginable. Actually, I wouldn' t mind having a life without the Internet or smartphones. Without them, I would meet my family and friends face to face and spend more quality time together. I might take up some interesting hobbies or try something new. So without them life might become even more colorful.

Critical thinking
1) Teenagers and college students are more likely to become Internet addicts. Many teenagers lack self-discipline. Though their parents may watch them closely at home and only allow them very limited time to get online, once being away from home, these kids are likely to indulge themselves in the Internet. The same is true for college students. College students often use their Internet to help with their study, and they lack supervision from theiry live on campus. If they do not watc parentstt they live on campus. If theydo not watch their time online and what they do with the Internet, they may also become addicted to the Internet.
2) Yes, I think so. A weak personality usually can’ t resist temptation. Jack, my former classmate,
definitely falls into this category. He knew for sure
that online games would take up too much of his
study time. However, he just couldn' t stop thinking
about the games and completely indulged himself in
this virtual world.
No, I don' t think so. A person with a strong
personality may also become an addict. One or my
friends had a very strong personality. He was
independent and decisive, and he was always the
leader among his friends. But somehow he became
an Internet addict. So I think addiction to the Internet
has nothing to do with one' S personality.
3) If I have friends who unfortunately become
Internet- addicted, I will help them: 1. set time limits. I
will suggest that they should allow themselves a
imited amount of time to spend online each day;
2. keep themselves busy. 1 will help them find activities
to keep their mind off the Internet, e.g. meeting
friends, taking up new hobbies, doing sports.
4) \"No Computer Day\" is a good idea. If you shut
down your computer for a day, you' II possibly find a
book to read, to out with friends, talk with your
family, visit a museum, play basketball, or go to a
concert. A day without the computer is a reminder
that there are more rewarding things to do.
don' t think it is a good idea. For people who
depend on their computers for their work or study,
they could do lttle or almost nothing without
computers. Moreover, the business world may
become out of order without computers, even for
only one day.

Question:
Some first responders do not succeed in helping
others and they get injured or die in their efforts. Do
these people become heroes because of what
happens to them as they try to help others - instead
of what they actually make happen? (Para. 9)
Example:
Ms. McMahon was the founder of a cycling
association. Her husband was a police officer who
was killed in an off-duty bicycling accident. Ms.
McMahon thought that Sgt. Russell was indeed a
hero because he should distinct courage when trying
hard in a heavy snowstorm to stop the snowplow
before it hurt others. She summed up thatit' s
natural for most people to rush toward safety and
away from danger. Heroes, however, rush toward
danger to help those in need. (Paras.10-11)
Conclusion:
We expect first responders to rush forward in times of
danger. So when they die doing that, we should
recognize their heroic action even though we
ourselves may not be that brave. (Para.12)

在所有美国人的信念中，最基本，最强烈的信念可能就是
崇尚个人自由。要理解美国人，最重要的也许就是了解他
们对\"个人主义”的热爱。生活中他们很早就开始受到教
育，把自己看成的个体，对人生中自己的处境以及自
己的前途命运负责。美国人认为自己的思想和行为高度个
性化。他们不愿意被视为任何同质群体的代表。如果确实
加入群体，他们也认为自己有特别之处，与同一个群体中
的其他成员有着些许的差别。与美国人对个人主义赋予的
价值紧密相关的是他们对个人隐私的重视。美国人认为，
人”需要有自己的时间”或者\"有时间独处”，用来思考
事情，或者恢复他们所消耗的心理能量。 美国人很难理解
那些总想与人结伴, 不爱独处的外国人。
Integrity and harmony are traditional Chinese virtues.
\"Harmony\" is demonstrated in various aspects. In
regard to interpersonal relations, traditional Chinese
thoughts hold that \"harmony is most precious\" and
\"A family that lives in harmony will prosper\" . A
harmonious social environment can be created based
on these principles. As for relations between human
being and nature, people should learn to understand,
respect and protect nature. Harmony is essential to
interpersonal relations, relations between human
beings and society, as well as between human beings
and nature. Nowadays, harmonious development is
sill the way of running the country and managing
talented personnel. With the development of
China' s society, economy and culture, the idea of
\"harmony\" goes even deeper into people' S hearts.
China is on its way toward the goal of building a
harmonious socialist society

College life and high school life differ in many ways.
High school offers fundamental courses such as math,
physics and English, whereas college offers more
specialized courses, most of which are related to
student' S majors. In high school, all classes are
arranged by the school, so students just follow a fixed
schedule; in contrast, college students can choose the
courses in which they are interested and arrange their
own schedule, so their schedule is more flexible.
Moreover, high school students acquire knowledge
and skills mainly through teacher' s instructions. In
contrast, besides attending lectures, college students
are expected to learn on their own, and develop
critical thinking.
