developing and people all over the world can get in touch with each other more easily. It is hard for a person who is isolated from the society to have a deep understanding of the world he lives and to accomplish a feat in his career. Cooperation is becoming more and more important for a person to earn a good life.
Being competitive also has a place in life. If you want to achieve more success and be better than others, you must work harder, study
more diligently, and adapt yourself to competition. The desire to succeed and do better than others inspires us to work harder. If there were no competition, a sports meet would never be exciting and successful, and we would never have champions. No doubt, we often find there is an inseparable(不可分离的) relationship between competition and cooperation. In a football match, either team is competing with other. But each member of the team is cooperating with his teammates.
We cooperate with others to be more competitive; we compete to earn a better environment for cooperation. Thus we can make progress continuously. Only competition together with cooperation leads us to realize our goals and satisfy our needs. 22
How to Succeed in a Job Interview 1) 面试在求职过程中的作用 2) 取得面试成功的因素:仪表 举止谈吐 能力 专业知识 自信 实事求是等等
3) 我认为最重要的因素
Nowadays, the interview has become indispensable in seeking a job. Its success will determine whether or not you will get the job you applied. Then how to succeed in a job interview?
There are many factors involved. According to psychologists, it depends more on the first impression you leave which is half a battle: how you look, how you sound and what you say are of great importance. In the first place, how you look makes up 55% of a first impression. This includes facial expressions, body language, and eye contact, as well as clothing and general appearance. Among those, clothing is the most important to show your respect to the interviewer and to leave the interviewer a good impression in the end. In the second place, how you sound makes up 38% of the first impression. This includes how fast or slowly, loudly or softly you speak. So make sure that you sound friendly, interested, confident and happy in answering any inquires in the interview. Finally, what you say counts for only 7% of the message. Therefore, attach more importance to your appearance and expressions rather than your words.
To conclude, no one can escape from the interview. Remember the above points, and you will succeed in the interview. 23

My View on Taking Part-time Jobs
1) 很多大学生喜欢勤工俭学,认为可以挣钱,同时可以锻炼能力 2) 有些教师认为这样会影响学生学习 3) 你的意见如何以及理由是什么 [m?'t???r?t?] 成熟;完备
Many college students take part-time jobs in their spare time. Whether it is good or bad is still subject to constant debates.
Some people believe that taking a part-time job certainly brings about several advantages. To begin with, students can learn how to get along with people and know the society better by taking a part-time job. Furthermore, to take a part-time job provides the students with a valuable opportunity to put what he has learned from books into practice. Finally, students can make some money, which helps to unload their families' financial burden.
However, problems may also arise. Firstly, some students spend too much
time doing part-time jobs while neglectingtheir studies. Secondly, when taking part-time jobs, the students may be distracted from their studies by the colorful lives in the society. Thirdly, some students may be cheated or hurt by their employers, because they don't know how to protect themselves.
As for me, I share the view that college students need to step out of the campus and take some part-time jobs if their schedule permits. After all, it opens them a window to know about the society, which is essential to theirmaturity. 25
Should Students Be Given More Free Time Or Not 1) 目前大学生学业压力大,大部分时间考试几乎没有时间选择自己擅长并有兴趣事情,并有所创新
2) 自由学习和高压学习的优缺点 3) 你的观点及理由
Currently, college students are confronted with an increasing amount of academic pressure. Most of their time is dedicated to their preparation for final exams, thus depriving them of opportunities to not only do something that they are interested in and adept at but also explore their innovativeness.
I think college students should be encouraged to relax and have more free time. It is good for students to acquire their knowledge. Firstly, students can relax and refresh their minds. When students relax, most of them will forget their worries and pressure from studying. Furthermore, they can do other things that can improve students’ skills. For instance, reading can improve their understanding skills and some other related skills. It is clear to see that they can improve their analytical thinking in many various ways! Finally, many students love doing sports when they have spare time. Doing sports is an extraordinary good method to relax and improve skills. Most of students are weak because of lacking of doing sports. Students will be stronger so that students will have a good mood in studying.
In a word, it is apparent that more free time for college students helps them to attain self-development. 26
My View on Surfing the Virtual World\1) 很多人喜欢网络提供的多姿多彩生活 2) 也有很多人对网络的虚拟空间有各种担忧 3) 你的观点
Nowadays, many people spend a lot of time surfing the virtual world, claiming that the Internet can open up a rich and colorful world for them. For example, netsurfers in different countries can share interesting knowledge and the latest information. Besides, Internet has provided a major opportunity to buy and sell merchandises. What is more, people may get medical help or even vote on Internet.
Behind all this glowing talk, however, are some problems. Internet makes people passive by stopping them making their own entertainment. So much so that when there is a breakdown or jam, people may find that World Wide Web turns into World Wide Wait. What is worse, some children have access to the scenes of violence and sex. Apart from these, it can be affected by viruses and hackers. In my opinion, we should not only handle its problems but also exploit its potential as well. With proper management of Internet people ought to experience more fruits of the information revolution. All the wisdom of the ages, all the information that has enlightened mankind for centuries, should be available to us with the healthy development of Internet. 27

Moreover, it is very easy to send messages to your friends. Mobile phones can make people keep intimacy in spite of long distance. Mobile phones are turning the world into a small village where we can communicate with each other easily and simply. Finally, another point in favour of mobile phones is that you can avoid disturbing anyone when he is sleeping or working because in that case people often turn off their mobile phones.
On the other hand, there are some drawbacks, too. Firstly, the most important disadvantage is the unknown effects on health in case of over-use. Scientists found that mobile phones can cause brain cancer. If you talk for so many hours, you are going to have headache and ear problems. Secondly, the mobile phone stimulates home for the high cost of
communication. If you are in 3-membered family, you would spend a lot of money on mobile phone. Furthermore, the inappropriate use of mobile phones could be bothersome. For example, it is very inappropriate to hear a mobile phone ringing during a formal conversation, during a lesson, in a library or in a cinema. Finally, mobile phones waste people too much time. An American survey shows that teenagers spend an average of 2 hours sending messages every day.
In conclusion, there are some benefits and drawbacks to mobile phones. Personally, I don’t like mobile phones very much, but I need to use them. In my opinion, mobile phones are good only if you use them correctly and politely, as in this case, all technology is beneficial! 28
