在西方，做父母的非常了解受父母过度保护的孩子的弱点:这些孩子害怕冒险，缺乏决断力，缺少在现实生活中获得成功的手段; 上大学时，许多人无法较好地适应大学生活的严苛，退学是常有的事。因此，父母非常注重培养孩子独立自主的能力。他们给孩予提供大量的学习独立思考技能的机会，让孩子认识到独立自主的能力可以提升他们在课堂内外的学习效率及表现。此外，他们还给孩子有限的选择，尊重孩子的偏好，帮助孩子出色地完成各项任务，以这种方式鼓励他们独立自主。他们还让孩子参与筹划和决策的过程，让他们提出自己的看法。尤其重要的是，他们鼓励孩子独立完成各项任务一一包括日常家务活，并经 常给予正面的鼓励，避免对他们的行为吹毛求疵。
Task 7
Compared with the childhood of their parents,children now
do enjoy a
far better material life,but their emotional life scems less satisfying.They are less likely to play with their peers,for toys have replaced their
playmates as their most loyal friends.Their parents can always afford to buy them all kinds of expensive toys.The good thing about this is that
they no longer pester their parents to play with them all day long, because toys and video games have lessened their feelings of
loneliness.But there are also negative effects; The child's addiction to toys and video games may cause a eyesight to deteriorate or result in reluctance to communicate with others.These phenomena should demand the attention ofboth parents and schools.

Mr and Mrs Wang are a couple and both were my teachers when Iwas in secondary school.Mrs Wang taught me English and Mr Wang used to
teach me maths.Because our school was an all-age school,both of them taught me for about seven years.When I heard about Mr Wang's deathI was so sorry,I could only guess what that must mean to Mrs Wang.Iremember the stories Mr Wang would tell in the maths classes, not always about maths,actually,but about life,and these are the kinds of things all of us remember now.WhenI was struggling for
one of the exams,Mr Wang took me for a walk round the playing fields.He told meI was good at maths.Me?I couldn't believe he was saying that.In those daysI was getting such low marks and felt1was a certain failure.\"Look,\" he said,\"you've got ability but you don't really believe it.I'm telling you,not only can you pass maths,you can do very well.\" Well,I did do well.That comment really helped me to turn the corner and there was no problem after that.Sometimes apparently small comments are like gold,and Mr Wang had the art of making those golden.comments.I alsoremember one year Mrs Wang
told me that one of my pictures
from the art class had been sent to the city museum for an exhibition.She was not the art teacher,but her way of telling me the news was like Mr Wang's
comment,a complete turning point.in the A picture from our small school ... pained by me ... in the museum ... how could that be? They two made me believe in museum myselfand gave me a picture of the wholeness of life and of how to be a better person,not just suceed at school subjccts. So
I am really grateful to them.I am working hard here and seem
to be getting on quite well at university.I thinkI will be a teacher or maybe a writer.

《格尔尼卡》是西班牙艺术家巴勃罗。毕加索1937 年为抗议轰炸西班牙北部一个小村庄而作的一幅巨型壁画。这幅大型壁面高3.49 米，宽7.76 米，展示了暴力和混乱给人和动物带来的苦难以及对建筑物的破坏。令人吃惊的是，整个壁画的色调由灰、黑、白组成，没有用鲜艳的红色来表现血腥的场面，但恐怖的景象却历历在目。画面上的人物并非用写实主义的画法来表现，而是采用立体派和抽象派的画法，但无辜平民惨遭屠杀的惨象却一目了然:一位母亲怀抱死婴，张嘴尖叫，她仰面朝天，伤心欲绝;一位士兵横尺地上，手里还紧握着一把断剑;
另外三个人也都处于震惊和痛苦之中。画面中的动物一一包括匹受伤的马和一只哭泣的鸟一一也都被描绘成这次屠杀的无率受害者。毫无疑问，描绘这些扭曲变形的骇人惨象的目的就是让观众感到震惊。这种对人类悲苦惨状的描绘是对战争的残酷和荒谬的深刻控诉。 Task 7
In the Mogao caves in Dunhuang,the murals with \"flying apsaras\"are one ofthe most well-known artefacts.The flying apsaras in the
Dunhuang Grotto Murals are a product of the intermixing of Indian and Chinese culture.In India,flying cclestial beings called \"flying apsaras\" appear mostly in murals in Buddhist caves,while in the Chinese Daoist tradition,flying cclestial beings are known \"flying immortals\". During the Wei,Jin,and Northerm and as Southern dynasties, when the introduction of Buddhism in China was at an carly stage, people began to use the term \"flying apsaras\" to refer to the
flying immortals in the murals.Later,with the development of Buddhism in China,the artstic images of Buddhist flying apsaras and Daoist
flying immortals merged with each other.The flying apsaras in theDunhuang Grotto Murals are a most ingenious creation of ancient Chinese artists,and a marvel in the history of world art.

Writing Task 4
Ifyou are visiting the Chinese Painting Gallery in the Shanghai Museum, you may find that the sheer number of paintings on view is
overwhelming.Perhaps you havejust a limited amount of time and are wondering what to try to take in on a brieftour.One solution is to take a quick look round to get a general impression and then spend more time withjust a few of the great works on display.In that case,here are my recommendations for three works. 3.
First,from the Tang and Song dynastics,look carefully at he Eight Noble Monks( 《八高僧故事图》)by Liang Kai to notice the detailed
portrayal ofthe monks in their tasks of sweeping and getting Water from the river,and so on,in the landscape.Then,moving on to the Yuan
dynasty,look at another detai led painting Retreat in the Qingbian Mountain( 《青卞隐居图》)by Wang Meng,where you can trace the running streams,find the houses far on the left and admire how the
hills make cloud-forms at the top.Now,third, move to the Ming dynasty for another vertical landscape,Dense Green Cvering the Spring Mountains( 《春山积翠图》) by Dai Jin (1388-1462); this is a much simpler landscape with a different feeling for space, and at the bottom the two small figures walking uphill and the line ofthe trees take our gaze upwards to the misty clouds.
4.
In these three paintings you will noticc changes from one period to another,but perhaps more surprisingly,you will get the feeling that a strong tradition continues in a similar spirit and feeling for nature.

在欧洲，家庭是近几十年来发生变化最大的领域之一。传统的欧洲核心家庭由一对已婚父母和几个孩子构成，但现在这种家庭只是诸多选择中的一个。日益下降的结婚率、离婚人数的增加、人们对同居的普遍接受、同性婚姻的合法化、日渐下降的生育率让欧盟家庭的平均人口数下降到了2.4 人。家庭对人们来说依然是至关重要的。84%的欧洲人认为家庭非常重要，这个数字是那些认为朋友很重要的人数的两倍。也许影响最为重大的一些变化和生育有关，因为随着时间的推移这些变化会引发人口结构上的重要改变。在整个欧洲，人们不再把生育子女看作是对社会的责任，而是把它视为诸多生活选项中的一个。在很多国家，丁克的法被广泛接受。这些改变背后的推动力似乎是个体化。追求独立自主、隐私、自我实现和个人幸福的价值观已经变得越来越重要，这让那些注重集体目标的价值观失去了容身之所。
Task 6
China,with the largest population of elderly people in the world,has become anageing society.Meanwhile,China is also a country undergoing social transition.It will be a long time before a sound social welfare system can be established,which means that China is in a unique situation when it comes to care of its ageing
population.It is predicted that in the next 50 years,family care for the aged will still be the dominant practice in China.Filial piety has always been a significant part of traditional Chinese ethics.In today's ageing society,it will be all the more important to promote the virtue of filial piety,as it will continue to play a crucial role in encouraging pcople to take good care of their elderly family members by providing daily care and emotional support.

have to put up with renting.
2.Old homes can look attractive,but they tend to lack modern facilities. New homes can be expensive and not everyone likes high-rise living, but the materials are better and there are usually fewer maintenance problems.
3.Typically,it makes economic sense for an older person to live with younger relatives.Elderly parents can help with the housework and are good with children,and the young can take care of their elderly parents as well.But as Chinese homes are generally not very large,living sO close together may often result in disagreements.
4.Broadly speaking，council housing is high-rise.The apartments are relatively small,but affordable.
Writing Task 4
With China's large population and the growth of its cities in recent years,housing is in great demand and there has been a huge building boom.Broadly speaking,the older housing stock has been demolished,as it is not of good quality and needs to be replaced by highrise buildings which can accommodate more people.A high percentage of urban residents own their own flats. This is typically the case with a married couple with a child.In most cases,young unmarried people continue to live at home with their parents.Later,when they get marricd they may buy their first home or move to a rented place.As soon as they can,they will
purchase a better flat.At the top end of the market there are villas in gated estates,and fully fitted high-quality apartments with many facilities.In the middle range,there are more ordinary apartment buildings where the majority live.Economically affordable blocks which are subsidized by he government meet the needs of families with lower incomes.There is also a large rental scctor.Some companies which use migrant labour supply dormitory accommodation for their workers.

美国梦是美国民族精神的体现。简而言之，其观念就是美国是个充满机会的地方; 在那里，只要肯努力奋斗，就能获得富裕、成功。这种对改善社会地位和经济状况的信仰，即美国人可以从卑微的穷人变为富人的信仰，一直被称为”国民宗教”。在经济状况和社会地位上获得巨大提升的著名案例包括本杰明*富兰克林和亨利。福特。其他从父辈到子辈就实现从美国下层社会跻身上流社会的最为人书乐道的例子是亚伯拉罕.林肯和比尔克林顿。他们虽然出身于工人阶级家庭，却在成年之后当上了高官。民意测验表明，现在美国人的这个信念比以往任何时候都强，比其他任何发达国家的都强。但是，近年来，几项大型的研究发现，与同类国家相比，美国的垂直代际社会流动性降低。2013 年，布鲁金斯学会的一项研究发现，收入的不平等正变得更加固定，从而大大降低了社会流
动性。2014年发布的一项大型学术研究的结果发现在过去的20 年里，收入的流动性没有发生显著的变化。 Task 8
Women are an important part of the labour force.But gender discrimination in the job market still exists,and serves as a counterforce to the building of a harmonious society,As far as employees are concerned,jobs that do not suit their talents will not only give rise to a waste of the investment in human capital, but also cause them to lose faith in social justice.As for employers, gender discrimination will not only disrupt the process of
selecting talent,and thus waste, but will also harm the perception of a properly functioning market On the level of society,gender discrimination will set an obstacle to the properdistribution of human resources,and damage a fair environment in the job market.

RecentlyI met an Austrian economist who has been employed on
an international project in our city for several years.I was glad to have the opportunity to be informed about his life.He works for six days a week in the transport department.As an expert in public transport systems,he hopes his work can contribute to the development of our city.For example,the traffic jams,parking problems and environmental effects of having large numbers of cars on the roads can be reduced or,in the long term,might be avoided.He says we should not repeat the mistakes which were made in European countrics.Typically,he arrives in his office by 7:30 am,has a long lunch break with his colleagues,and goes home to his family by 6:00 pm.Somctimes he has to travcl to other cities.I asked him about integration.He said his Chinese language skills are now well developed.But at first he had to use English because no one speaks German in his workplace.He said he was often depressed by the fact that Chinese people always assumed he was German and did not know much about his country,Austria.It scems to me that he has integrated rather well. He is now quite familliar with Chinese customs and social life. However,although he made jokes about his early days in China,I got the feeling that there was a difficult period for him.The fact that he can laughnow is perhaps a good measure of his int egration.

1908 年，安娜*贾维斯在西弗吉尼亚州的格拉夫顿市为自己的母亲举行了一个追思会，这是人们第一次庆祝母亲节这个现代美国节日。贾维斯深爱的母亲于1905 年去世，从这年开始她就积极开展活动，要让母亲节成为美国的正式节日。经过安娜-贾维斯的努力，1914年伍德罗。威尔逊总统签客公告设立母
亲节，使它成为一个向母亲致敬的全国性节日。尽管贾维斯成功地创立了母亲节，但是母亲节的商业化很快就让她感到了不满。到了20 世纪20 年代初，很多公司开始出售母亲节贺卡，贾维斯对这种在她看来是误解和开发利用母亲节的行为感到新视野英過功痛心，她提出抗议甚至试图要废除母亲节。这个节的初衷是让大家向母亲表示感谢和敬意，采取的形式应该是写亲笔信传达爱意和感激，而不是通过买礼物和贺卡这样的方式。贾维斯创立的这个节日现在已经是全球性的节日。不同的国家庆祝母亲节的日期有所不同。在很多国家，例如澳大利亚、加拿大和美国，人们庆祝母亲节的日子是五月的第二个星期天。 Task 6

英雄是美国人文化和身份认同的必要组成部分。在美国，英雄人物是以各种不同的形象出现的，他们反映了不同的价值观。美国人从孩提时代起就学习那些为建立国家而奋斗的政治家和宗教领袖; 学习那些建国后塑造美国历史的人。他们是历史上真实存在的人，因为在美国建国过程中发挥了巨大的作用而被提升为英雄，比如乔治。华盛电须和亚伯拉罕*林肯。在通俗文化中，漫画书中的超级英雄以前一直是，并将继续是一支主力军。从20 世纪早期开始，这些描述超级英雄冒险奇遇的漫画书，如《超人》，就日益走红。运动员成为英雄这种现象是最近才在英雄人物史中出现的。以美国为甚，随着职业体有的兴起，出现了知名的运动员，他们的在运动场上的表现广为人知。用个体形象来体现大理想的做法并不是美国文化所特有的，但是美因人对英雄的痴迷在其他文化中也是很少见的。 Task 7

The wandering knight is a character who can be found throughout Chinese history and literature.Sima Qian included many of them in his works.As he said in the introduction to that part ofhis work, \"The acts of the knights were not always according to rule,but they were always sincere,meant w hat they said,did w hat they set out to do and kept their promise.They hurried to help those in need without concerm for their own safety.They did not boast about their skill and did not like to hear their virtucs praised.\" This gives us the most important points about the wandering knights. They are honest,skil led and outsiders.They rely on their inner
resources and spend time meditating and developing their minds. They are deeply loyal to their friends,but do not remain with them. In the words of a Chinese film critic,when commenting on Ang Lce's Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon,\"Friends meet and part like stars on different tracks,brightening each other but never emotionally reliant on each other.\" The spirit of the wandering knights is also expressed clearly in a poem by Jia Dao; For a decadc,I have bcen shining my sword;
Its icy edge has never bcen tested. HereI hold it.Behold and say If there is anyone here suffering injustice.

Task 6
“希腊神话”指的是古代希腊关于神灵和英雄的各种传说的合集，这些传说描述了他们的宗教活动和世界观。希腊神话包含了大量的故事，有些故事解释了世界的起源，有些则详细描述了各种不同的男女神灵、男女英雄和神话动物的生活及冒险奇遇。虽然现在我们主要是通过书面形式的希腊文学了解这些故事，但起初它们是以口头诗歌的形式创作并传播的。希腊神话对西方文明的文化、艺术和文学都产生了广泛、深远的影响。的确，在整个西方文学史上，希腊神话所涉及的那些主题一直具有重要的意义。虽然建立在这些神话故事之上的古希腊宗教早就湮没于历史之中，但是希腊神话依然是大量西方小说、诗歌、电影和视觉艺术的一个重要的源泉。希腊神话在现代神话、心理学和语文学研究的发展中起到了至关重要的作用，它仍将是全球文化遗产的重要组成部分。 Task 7
The most important characteristic of ancient Greek mythology is that gods and humans are similar,both in physical appearance and personality.Ancient Greeks created their gods in their own image, and their gods have human emotions and desires.In Chinese mythology,however,the life of the gods is very different from that of humans.The good gods in Chinese mythology have a noble character,express great aspirations,and show perseverance in fighting for great ideals.They have the noble duty of maintaining the order of the universe; they are social and moral role models.It can be said that the gods in Chinese mythology have extraordinarily noble characters,and possess more of the qualities of gods than of humans.
