　　9)Internet

　　Owing to the speedy economic development, the number of the people who use Internet has considerably increased. It is universally acknowledged that Internet playa a crucial role in modern society.

　　Due attention has to be paid to the issue of Internet. With the reform and opening-up in recent decades, people in mounting numbers have come to realize the significance of Internet. Unfortunately, if we let this situation continue as it is, we do not know where humans will be in the forthcoming future.

　　Accordingly, it is imperative for us to take drastic measures. To begin with, we should cultivate the authorities to make strict laws to control Internet. In addition, we should cultivate the awareness of people that Internet. In addition, we should cultivate the awareness of people that Internet is essential to us. Only in this way can we solve the problem.

　　10)Jobs for Graduates (1)

　　Job hunting has always been a headache for college graduates. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.

　　The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.

　　I think the problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. Second, students' attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go to some small cities and country. There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention, the problem can be solved.

　　参 考 译 文

　　1)在绝大多数大学里，考试都是作为衡量学生是否掌握某一课程的主要手段。虽然考试这一工作做的比较有效，但其副作用也相当大。

　　首先，考试造成教学水平下降。由于教师的好坏往往根据学生考试的结果来判断，所以教师被迫训练学生的应试技巧。而几乎没有什么课程是仅仅通过教授应试技巧可以教好的。其次，考试最坏的副作用是使学生养成不良的学习习惯。由于考试分数是衡量学生学习好坏的唯一标准，学生只能被迫机械的死记硬背，而不是创造性的去思考。

　　实际上，很少有人承认考试对学生的学习会有重要作用。如果确实如此，我们为什么不做一些改革，设计出比考试更有效、更可靠的评估方法来呢?

　　2)我最喜爱的小说是儒勒•凡尔纳写的《八十天环游地球》。该作者出生于法国，并且致力于文学事业，并写了很多科幻小说，使他赢得“现代科幻小说之父”的美名。

　　这是一本科幻小说，讲述了一位英国绅士的一个激动人心的故事。菲利•弗格先生跟他的俱乐部伙伴打了个赌，并设法在八十天之内环游了地球。书中生动描述了他的旅途中发生的许多困难和故事。

　　从这本书中，我们可以看出作者对于海洋、旅行和冒险的热爱。这些在作者一生中影响深远。作者丰富的想象力和科学地理知识也使我们惊讶并折服。

　　3)在我生活中我遇到过很多值得回忆的人，但在我认识的人中让我最难忘的人可能要算我的英语老师了。

　　让我常常回想起他的是他那些特殊的品质。首先，他教给我们学生一位老师所能给予的最珍贵的东西，即唤起我们学习的激情。他不仅培养我们欣赏英语语言文学的美丽与完美，而且激起我们在这方面深入研究的兴趣。其次，他的才智深深吸引了我。我现在还记得我们学生总渴望上他的课，因为他讲课生动幽默，总能引起我们微笑或哄堂大笑。

　　虽然我们没听他的课已近两年了，但我们聚在一起时总要谈起他。我知道他的形象已深深留在我心中了。
