1：Happiness Everyone has his own conception of happiness, and different people holds different view of happiness. In my opinion, happiness depends on our attitudes to life. Usually one person who is optimistic always has happier life than those of pessimists. Because most of optimists are extrovert, they have positive-thinking and never disappointed. They also have lots of friends, have close relationship with others. These all lead them to have a happy life. On the contrary, the pessimistic person has another way to live. They always gloom, look down upon themselves, and they expect nothing. Also, most of them live and work alone. This of course makes them feel upset and unhappy. As postgraduate students, we should always keep optimistic attitude towards and don’t always complain about the unfair fate. Then we can have a happy life. 2：Genetically Modified food With the science and technology expanding day by day, we can get and experience more and more things which have never existed before, such as plane, car and genetically modified food. However, so far we still do not clearly know all the aspects of genetically modified food. Will they do harm to our health? The genetically modified food has DNA from other species added to it. People transform the genetic material of living things, change their shape, output, nutrition so as to fulfill customers’ needs. Originally, it is good for our life. Its price is very chip, usually easily to be planted, and we can have more options to eat. However, nearly half of people in China believe that genetically modified food is not safe to our health. Even though we don't know how the genetically modified food damages our health at all. So in my opinion, I think that the genetically modified technology can bring more advantage to us, unless there is opposite evidence. And nowadays genetically modified food has become a tendency in the whole world. Therefore, we can ease ourselves, not be too scared to have genetically modified food. As long as science won’t show us such food is dangerous, and the production process is legal, we can eat genetically modified food as usual. Unit 3 Public Art 1 Nowadays public art is becoming more and more popular, people like to put some sculpture in parks and gardens or so on. Today, I want to talk about the reason of this phenomenon. The public art is so popular for some reasons. Firstly, art help our city to look more beautiful and interesting. If there is an art in front of our door, people can look at it and enjoy it everyday. Secondly, with the continuous development of economic and education, people are having more and more time and being more and more able to enjoy the public art. For example, the number of public art is higher in city than in village, I think the reason is that the villagers are busy at fighting for life with a little education, which can not support them to understand the art. Thirdly, citizens are interested in taking the public art as the symbol of there city or even country, such as the Stature of Liberty. That all, thank you! Unit 4 Journey to Antarctica 1 In this Unit, we have learned the story of an explorer named Shackleton and his crew, who are the first group of men to go to Antarctica. Although they failed, their spirit of adventure should be remembered by everyone. Some people may ask why, for what reason Shackleton and his crew wanted to explore Antarctica regardless of their lives? In my opinion, they were driven by curiosity. The curiosity is a kind of instinct of human, which has brought many great discoveries in the history. The best example is Newton, who found the Gravitation after he had been hit by an apple, which may have been suffered by everyone. The journey to Antarctica may can not bring a lot of money for him or other one else, but I believe Shackleton do not care. In his story, the most important thing we should remember and learn is his great curiosity. Everyone should keep their curiosity, and when someone blame the scientist to do some research that brings few economic benefit, we should remind them of the reason that they can have a journey to Antarctica. 5：violence on television Prompted by some incidents of television and film inspired crimes, the issue of whether the government should control the amount of violence on television has been a contentious discussion. Views on the topic vary greatly. Advocates claim that the practice of controlling the amount of violence in mass media is a brazen violation of the people's basic right to know the truth of the world. For example, some films contain some violence, but they reflect the things happened around us. Rather than producing negative effects on audience, to some extent, these films educate them. Furthermore, violence i on television programs cultivates people's senses of crisis and responsibility, which makes ordinary people and police work better for public security. Consequently, it is irresponsible and foolish to blame the media for violence in our society. However, opponents argue that violence on television is detrimental to audience's psychology. Taking fantasy for reality, people become aggressive and eccentric. They believe things can be solved by violence. In addition, violence has negative impacts on the stability of society. Research findings reveal that 60 percent of crimes are committed by teenagers after watching films or television which had a large amount of violence. Teenagers are so vulnerable and immature that they cannot judge whether the activities performed in mass media are right or not. As an illustration, a boy killed his younger sister in Australia because he imitated the violent scenes from television programs. In my opinion, the disadvantages of controlling the amount of violence in media outweigh the advantages. But I believe the government should label how much violence the programs contain on the screens, and parents and teachers have responsibility to guide their children and help them to distinguish right from wrong when they watch violent programs. 6：Too old to learn As we all know, the saying goes that “it is never too old to learn”. But today, many parents will say “it is too old to learn”. Such saying is maybe related to a theory about critical period. To explain this period, we take children for example, they learn languages most rapidly when young, but it is more difficult when they become adult. So if we can take advantage of this period, and intend to train children when they are very young, they will of course obtain skills much more and smoothly. That is why most parents prefer to send their children to attend kinds of interest classes while they are just 4or5 years old. And they call this “Don’t lose at the starting line”. However, I will say no to it, and it’s never too old to learn! Have a slight look at the famous person in past, we may come to the conclusion. They didn’t have any special training in childhood, but only a strong heart and will to study, that is the very key to their success. So, critical period is not universal. We need to respect children’s will, give the pure and blue sky back to them, and tell them live and learn always! 7：Are we alone Are we alone? I think many people will give their definite answer. Because all the time we can often hear the news about UFO, or rumors about ET, and many famous directors like to shoot movie about aliens, such as ET、Star Wars and so on. This phenomenon shows us that many of us rather to admit or imagine the aliens are truly living. For me, I would like to believe the aliens are living in some corners in the outer space. In my mind, I imagine this creature would not be so fearful as many movies depict to us, but kind and friendly. Their face would be divided into 3 kinds, some are quite beautiful, some are ugly, while some are the same as human beings. Their star is highly civilized, so they may own the ability to visit the earth. In a word, I have too much curiosity about aliens. Although the sayings above are just my imagination, there must be others who are dreaming the familiar things with me. Only due to these colorful ideas, can we see the impressive movie like ET、Avatar, and only due to among these colorful ideas, can human achieve so significant success of exploring in the outer space. So I’d like to believe we are not alone in the universe, and I hope such thought among human beings will never be gone. Unit 8 Do the right thing I remember there is a photo in the front of this unit, which tells us a story about what a girl should do when she pick up a wallet. She should decide to give this wallet back to its master or not. In my opinion, the right thing she should do is to give it back with no doubt. And there is a Chinese children’s song is telling us the same story. Why shall our society praise the spirit of returning lost money? I think it is radically depends on our society’s distribution system-----Distribution according to work, which means the more you work the more you get. This is reasonable and beneficial to our society and every one, and we must stop any one to destroy it. 9：A good night’s sleep According to the largest study of sleep patterns in England, the survey found that 93 percent of adults lacked energy as a result of poor sleep. It is not the only phenomenon but is widely occurs in many countries. As we all know, insomnia affects people’s quality of life during the day, not just their sleep at night. But what we will ask is why insomnia is so common, and how can we have a good night’s sleep. In my mind, the problem is due to 2 big reasons. First, the main reason is due to our life stress. Life stress contains the tension of studies, work, and our families. And always, the stress comes not alone, but with pairs or three. What’s worse, when we face to such huge stress, we have not enough ability to impair it, we will be trapped into insomnia problems, and then we will have much more stress, it will cause knock-on effect. Second, it may be due to our physical body itself. When our body is in semi-health, we will face to kinds of problems mild or serious, so some potential disease will also do harm to our sleep. Thus, we should pay attention to our sleep quality from now on. One can do some exercises such as yoga during spare time, or chat with some old friends, do any things which can help you relax. And also, remember to check your physical health regularly. Then health and happiness will definitely belong to us. 10：Negotiating for success I think in a negotiating,we need some techniques.We should not blame the other side.We should be polite,donnot get angry .If there are a lot of emotions during the negotiation, we should talk about our feelings and ask people on the other side about their feelings. We can use “I” statements to explain how the problem affects us. Tell the truth as much as we can . For example ,if a husband and wife are deciding where to go on vacation ,this negotiating is easier than an employee is trying to get a pay raise from his boss. It’s better to see that both sides will win and be happy with the solution.
