1、 3、How would you describe your relationship with your parents? I have a very good relationship with my parents. We are a close family and love each other very much. I like to tell my parents about what I do at school and they are always interested in what I say. And they also share their experience

2、and ideas with me. Since I came to college, there have been some changes in our relationship. When I was in middle school, it was usually my parents who did most of the talking when we spent time together. They would have endless advice to me. Now it seems to be the other way around. They tend to do

A coincidence is the noteworthy alignment of two or more events or circumstances without obvious causal connection. In other words, it is merely a term that a human being thought up in order to be able to explain the

6、 thing that nothing else is capable of explaining. Coincidences make great stories. As the old Chinese saying rightly points out, when I was on a trip in Shanghai. Whats more, I thought I should have phoned him before the trip and asked him to meet me at the railway station. 6、What can coincidences

7、do? Are they mostly beneficial or harmful? Coincidences may mean different things to different people. Because many coincidences are so interesting, they make good stories. Writers, reporters and story-tellers could make use of such events to make their stories more entertaining. In this sense, coin

8、cidences are useful or beneficial. But to superstitious （迷信的） people, coincidences may be regarded as something supernatural （超自然的） and serve to strengthen their blind faith.

First of all, one of the qualities that set them apart from the ordinary people is their willingness to take risks or to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others. Second, most people w

10、ho are courageous have the will power to overcome fear in the face of danger or in doing what they believe is right. Last but not the least, courageous people are stable in their behavior and do not pretend to be brave. They appear to be ordinary in normal situations, but show a courageous spirit un

11、der the extreme or dangerous situations. 8、It is said that the virtue of courage is in short supply in todays world. Do you agree? Im afraid I cannot agree with this point. We still find a lot of courageous people in face of difficult or dangerous situations. Take the September 11th terrorist attack

12、s on New York City for example. Right after the attacks, many firefighters, policemen and other people showed great courage while they risked their lives in order to save other people. That says a lot about courage. 9、What do you think is crucial for a happy marriage? I think the most important thin

13、g for a happy marriage is the mutual trust. If they can trust each other, they will show their willingness to solve their differences that arise.

15、des toward marriage? It is very hard to generalize, but my feeling is that most young people in China probably look at marriage from a long-term point of view, so they would think hard before they leap. On the other hand, young people in some Western countries may treat marriage from a short-term po

16、int of view. Weve surely heard a lot about marriage decisions made on the spur of the moment. 11、What does stress mean? Stress is a state of worry due to pressure from too much work or study, heavy responsibilities, the quickened pace of life, etc. Too much stress over an extended period of time is

Why or why not? When many people think of stress, they think only o

18、f the negative effects coming with it. However, I think, there are positive effects of stress. Certain stress may urge people to work and study more efficiently, to make full use of time and to achieve their goals. As students, we all know that a certain amount of stress before the exam can be posit
