专四作文真题
1992MyViewonReadingExtensively
泛读好还是精读好(Toreadextensivelyortoreadintensively)
Bathedinsomanyworthybooks,everyoneisfacedwiththeoptionofreadingmethod.Somethinkthatweshouldreadextensively.Itistheirconvictionthat,readingextensivelycouldeasilyenlargeknowledge,wideninterestsandenrichlives.Ontheotherhand,withthesharpincreaseininformationtoday,wearenotallowedtoreadwordbyword.Itseemsanimpossiblemissiontoaccomplishdigestingcarefullyeverymaterial.Therefore,whatweneednowadaysistoreadextensively.
However,somepeople,onthecontrary,holdtheoppositepointofview.Intheireyes,webenefitmuchmorefromreadingintensively.Onlybyfollowingeverywordareweabletocomprehendthehiddenmeanings.Besides,withoutintensivereading,wearelikelytomissagoodmanywonderfulexpressions,thoughtfulwordsandeventruths.Thus,theysuggestchewingabookmouthbymouthratherthansimplyswallowingitatatime.
AsfarasIamconcerned,weoughttolearntoreadextensivelyaswellasintensively.Itisnotoftenpossible,toreadinmerelyoneway.Insteadoftryingtoreadeverylineandwordinnewspapersandmagazine,we'dbettersummarizethemainidea.Andwhenitcomestoliterature,art,sciencearticlesandotherslikethese;itiswisetoreadthemintensively.
有选择地读还是广泛地读?

Everyonehashisownview.
Somepeoplethinkweshouldreadselectively.Theyarguethatwiththedevelopmentofmodernscienceandtechnology,moreandmorebooksarepublished.Itisimpossibleforustoreadallthebooks.What’smore,therearemanybadbooksthatarepoisonoustoourmind,andweshouldn’treadthem.Sincewecan’treadallthebooksandweshouldn’treadbadbooks,wemustreadselectively.
Butothersmaynotagree,theyemphasizethattoday'ssocietyisnotwhatitwas.Ifonemanhasmanykindsofknowledge,hewillhavemorechancestosucceed.Ifamanknowsmuchinonefieldbutknowsnothinginotherfields,hemaybeuseless.Sincewemusthavemanykindsofknowledge,wemustreadextensively.
Who’sright?
Ithinkbothofthemhavesomethingright.ButIthinkweshouldreadextensivelyfirst.Weshouldreadbooksinmanyfields,andreadselectivelyinonefield.

1993TV:
agoodthingorabadthing?
TV—BlessingorCurse?
Fewthingsinthemodernworldhavesomuchinfluenceonpeopleasthetelevisiondoes.Beingbesieged包围withTVnews,absorbingteleplays,well-mastermindedprogrammes,onecaneasilyconcludethatTVisarealblessingtothehumansociety,offeringaffluententertainmentandinformation.Yet,convenientandhelpfulasitis,thetelevisionalsobringsnegativeeffects.
Tobeginwith,TVmakespeoplemorepassivethanbefore:
sinceeverythingonTVisready-made,thereisnospaceforaudience’sinitiatives.Thenewshasbeencarefullyedited,teleplayswellshot,programmesrehearsed,soallyouneedtodo—andallyoucandoistositonacomfortablesofaandlookatthescreen.
Thoughalotofpeopleenjoydoingthis,theundoubtedtruthisthatpeoplearebecomingmorepassivesimplybecausethereisnointeractionandnoeffortsonthem.
Televisionalsocontributestothefactthatpeoplenowadaysaremoredistanttoeachother.SincemostofourfreetimeistakenawaybytheactofwatchingTV,wecannolongerfindenoughtimetovisitfriends,callonrelativesorgotointerestingplaces.Thisisalsotruewithinafamily,parentsandchildrenandothermembersarelessclosetoeachother,becausefamilyget-togethersandconversationsaredisturbedbyTV—whenonememberiswatchingTV,hewouldlikeotherstokeepquiet.
OfcourseIamnotdenyingthegreatconveniencesandhugebenefitstheTVbringsus,buttomakeitareallyblessingtous,weshouldtrytoavoiditsnegativeeffects.

1996Everycollegestudentwouldagreethatlifeincollegeisnotthesameasitwasinthemiddleschool. Now,youhavebeenaskedbytheStudent’sUniontowriteapassageentitled:
TheMainDifferenceBetweenMyCollegeLifeAndMyMiddleSchoolLife
Whenstudyinginmiddleschool,shelteredunderthewingsofparentsandteachers,andfollowingwhattheyrequired,IalwayswishedIwereafreeeagleflyinginthesky.AfterIenteredcollege,Iwasoverjoyedtofindoutthemaindifferencebetweencollegelifeandmiddleschoollife,becausethat’swhatIlike–tobeamasterofmyownlife.
Actually,Ireallyenjoymycollegelife,forIamarealeagleinthesky.Istudyautomatically,notforcedbymyparentsandteachers;Istudytoacquireknowledge,notonlyforexams;Iarrangemytimetoamusemyself,nottobecriticized.Allinall,Iliveformyself,onmyown.
Ofcourse,althoughcollegeoffersmeasky,butitdoesn’tmeanIcanspoilmyself.Asamasterofmyownlifenow,I’dbeagoodone,tostudyhardandtolivehealthily.
1997Someofyourclassmatesthinkthatmorepressurefromacademicstudiesisnotbeneficialtostudents. Youeitheragreeordisagreewiththem:

Itisknownthatinterestisthemotherofsuccess.Butweneversaypressureisthemotherofsuccess.Infact,excessivepressureisthemotherofresistance.Wegrown-upuniversitystudentsdonotneedmorepressurefromacademicstudiesbecauseitwilldoharmtousmentallyandphysically.
Foronething,wherethereisoppression,thereisresistance.Whenstudentsgetmorepressurefromacademicstudies,theymaynaturallyrejectitintheirdeepmindbecausetheyfeelthattheyareforcedtostudybythepressurebutnottheirownwilling.Sotheymayadoptsomeimpropermeanstogetridofpressure,whichfinallywilldamagetheirinteresttoacademicstudies.Foranother,morepressurefromstudieswillmakestudentsnervousandtiredeasily,whichwillvisiblydoharmtotheirhealth.
Inconclusion,givingmorepressuretostudentsinacademicstudiesisanincorrectwaytoencouragethemtostudywell.Teachersshouldgiveitupquicklyandfindanotherwaytoarousestudents’interestinstudy.

NowadayswecanseeadvertisementsonTelevisioneveryday.Somepeoplebelievethatadvertisingontelevisioncanbringusbenefits,butothersdon’tthinkso.Inmyopinion,Iaminfavoroftheadvertisingontelevision.
Therearetworeasons,Ithink,forthegrowingnumberofadvertisementonTV.First,inacompetitiveeconomy,theconsumerusuallyhasthechoiceofseveraldifferentbrandsofthesameproduct.Thus,manufacturersareconfrontedwithaproblem—Howtokeepsaleshighenoughtostayinbusiness.Theysolvethisproblembyadvertising.Throughadvertising,eachmanufacturingcompanytriestoconvinceconsumersthatitsproductisspecial.Second,mostconsumersareinterestedinadvertisement.TheywishtogetfromTVadvertisementthefirsthandinformationaboutnewproducts,whichenablesthemtochoosetheonetheylikebest.Asaresult,thereisasharpincreaseinadvertisementontheTVscreen.
Inconclusion,TVadvertisingplaysaveryimportantroleinoureconomicbehavior.WithabundantinformationavailableonTV,wecanmakesensiblechoicesasconsumers.
