Fate is sometimes not very kind to policemen like myself. Take as an example the recent trial in which I was involved. When I arrested the young lad I had felt sure he was guilty I had been following him around for a couple of hours and he conduct himself suspiciously. He had been wandering about and it seemed to me that he was looking for an opportunity to steal. When I arrested him, his casual manner only served to confirm my suspicions. I thought I had at last caught the thief who had been troubling the area for so long.

However, my joy was only temporary. When I saw the brilliant solicitor the boy's father had hired to defend him, I knew we didn't stand a chance. It turned out that the boy was simply a student who was looking for temporary employment before going to university. If only he had been a bit more helpful when we arrested him, he could have saved us all a lot of time and trouble. It's enough to make one turn against students!

Despite the vast amount of data available for us to download from the worldwide web, we still face a problem in how to make the best use of it. Data on its own has its limitations. It is only when nature is exposed to fruitful questions that we can hope to uncover her secrets. The evolution of science shows this clearly, with many of the most notable discoveries relying on the ability to view matters rather than simply gathering more facts. In short, half the answer lies in thinking up the right question.

To my mind, in any analysis of the professions, few can match teaching. One needs to be energetic, certainly, for occasionally it seems one hardly has time to catch his breath. It can mean staying up late in order to get lessons prepared on time. Nonetheless, I am convinced that the work is more stimulating than that of my administrative colleagues. I certainly would not wish to switch, even though the pay is higher. With teaching, the pace of life is more varied, allowing greater time for reflection and research. Yet most of all it is the chance to see the spark of a fresh idea taking hold in a student's mind that is the most rewarding aspect of the job, repaying all one's efforts

It is difficult not to be affected by the tale of Sarah Morris. While her physical conditions made it difficult to interpret her speech, from her writing it would be impossible to spot that she suffers from such a severe handicap. Writing slowly with the help of a pointer fastened to her head, her maximum writing speed is no more than eight words per minute. Yet she still manages to write extensively on the team she grew up following. Straining her neck in the gloom of her room, surrounded by her computer equipment and a TV set, she has managed to rise above her situation against all the odds.

I recall that it was something of an embarrassment to have my son find me so upset on that Wednesday long ago. He had come home expecting to have the place all to himself, only to find me there, frantic with worry about losing my job. I had assumed that I could master typing in just a few sessions, but it took much longer than I had expected. Try as I might, it seemed I just could not catch on to it in time. I suppose I should have enrolled on a correspondence course, as I did when learning to run the nursery, but by then it was too late. I felt helpless and the tension at work was becoming too much to bear, so in the end I just had to accept defeat and change jobs. Not that I gave up wanting to type. I went on practicing and eventually mastered it.

The medicines the doctor prescribed for me tasted horrible. They were supposed to bring down my temperature, but when I heard how high it was I was terrified. I thought I was certain to die. I just didn't see how I could possibly overcome the illness. I couldn't stop worrying about it. All day I just gazed into space, feeling miserable. The fever made me shiver and gave my face a flush I couldn't take an interest in anything and felt very detached from everything around me. I thought my father must know I was going to die, but had said nothing, wanting me to keep from thinking about it. Finally I could bear it no longer and asked him how much longer I could live. When he explained my mistake, all my worries slid away. Only then was I really able to take it easy.

I am still trying to figure out why we all behaved so badly on the night my neighbours tried to break into our family bomb shelter. It was frightening for us down there, hearing those we thought of as our friends heading for something to break down the shelter door. Even though we piled up all we could find against the door, I knew it would eventually give way. And it did.

Should I hold it against them? After all, their reactions were born of fear and I would probably have behaved the same way in their shoes. Perhaps it would have been fairer to have drawn lots for who got to use the only shelter in the street, but I was never going to let that happen. I was as scared and selfish as the rest. It seems that underneath we are all more aggressive and greedy than we like to think.

Many people are hostile to daydreaming, believing that it can interfere with the pursuit of success. They consider that daydreamers will never amount to much in their chosen careers. Recently, however, some experts have begun to argue that indulging in fantasy can have positive benefits. Daydreaming of success, they claim, can contribute to success. One technique they recommend is to picture yourself as you wish to be. Holding this vision clearly in your mind supposedly helps you make it come true. Of course, you should not neglect necessary study or work because daydreaming cannot substitute for hard work. Merely relying on daydreaming will not help you attain your goal. The beauty of the music was in sharp contrast with the reality of the lives led by the singers. Amid all their suffering, a group of Jewish prisoners had found the courage to stage performances of Verdi's Requiem. Despite the difficulties and dangers, they threw themselves enthusiastically into rehearsals, which had to be kept a secret. An additional difficulty was that they had only one instrument, an old harmonium.

Their greatest triumph came when they performed before an audience containing the infamous Nazi official, Adolf Eichmann. Their voices swelled with passion as they threw in the faces of the Nazis words which sang of how they would have to pay for their crimes.

If we look at the process of innovation, we will see how technology feeds on itself, accelerating the pace of technological advance in our own times. Technological innovation is comprised of three stages: invention, application and diffusion. One of the most important characteristics of advanced technology today is the fantastic speed that occurs between each of these stages. For example, nowadays the time it takes to put ideas to work has been greatly reduced. The progress in transportation is a case in point. Likewise, the time between the application and diffusion stages has been radically shorted. This accounts for the acceleration of present-day technology. And this, in turn, generates more feasible ideas.What sort of future will this process conjure up for us? Will the pace of change exceed our ability to cope with it? Or is it one of our characteristics that we have an impressive ability to adapt to change, no matter how frequent?

One of the ways you can encourage children to be creative is to talk things over rather than to give instructions or make a model when they ask for help. If you show a child how to draw a flower or a person, they will try to draw one just like yours. This can be frustrating because no matter how hard children try, their pictures will not be as "good" as yours because they do not have the skill that you have. Chances are that children will compare the two pictures and not be happy with their own. They may even decide not to try. Be creative yourself and think of ways to encourage children's creativity.

Baseball is America's national sport, played mainly by men. It developed in the mid 19th century from the British games of rounders and cricket. Baseball is also popular in Japan and several Latin American countries, and has been an Olympic sport since in 1972. Softball is similar but uses a large, softer ball and is popular with women. Many Americans play baseball for fun because players do not have to be strong like football players or tall like basketball players. Some people think baseball is too slow, but the team managers often change their players and plans during the game, and there are many exciting plays. Many American families enjoy going to a Sunday afternoon double-header, that is, two games between the same two teams in one day.

The Terezin concentration camp was established by the Nazis in an 18th century fortress in Czechoslovakia on November 24, 1941. More than 150,000 Jews passed through the camp during its four-year existence, which was used as a holding area for eventual murder in Auschwitz. By 1943, rumors began circulating in the international community that the Nazis were exterminating Jews in gas chambers, and that the conditions of the concentration camps did not permit survival. The Nazis rebuilt parts of this camp to serve as a "showpiece" for propaganda purposes. Flowers were planted there. Shops, schools, and a cafe were built. When an investigating commission of the International Red Cross came to visit, they did not see a typical concentration camp. In July 1944 the Nazis made a documentary propaganda film about life in this camp. After the movie was completed, most of the Jewish "actors" were shipped to their death at Auschwitz.

Article Children Must be Taught to Tell Right from Wrong William Kilpatrick Many of today 's young people have a difficult time seeing any moral dimension ( 道德层 面 ) to their actions. There are a number of reasons why that 's true, but none more prominent than a failed system of education that eschews ( 回避 ) teaching children the traditional moral values that bind Americans together as a society and a culture. That failed approach, called “decision - making, ” was introduced in schools 25 years ago. It tells children to decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong. It replaced “character education. ( 品格教 育 )” Character education didn 't ask children to reinvent the moral wheel ( 浪费时间重新发明早已存 在的道德标准); instead, it encouraged them to practice habits of courage, justice and self-control. In the 1940s, when a character education approach prevailed, chewing gum; today they worry about robbery and rape. Decision-making curriculums pose thorny ( 棘手的 ) ethical dilemmas to students, with the impression that all morality is problematic and that all questions of right and wrong are in dispute. Youngsters are forced to question values and virtues they 've never acquired in the first place or upon which they have only a tenuous ( 薄弱的 ) hold. The assumption behind this method is that students will arrive at good moral conclusions if only they are given the chance. But the actual result is moral confusion. For example, a recent national study of 1,700 sixth- to ninth-graders revealed that a majority of boys considered rape to be acceptable under certain conditions. Astoundingly, many of the girls agreed. This kind of moral illiteracy is further encouraged by values-education (价值观教育 ) programs that are little more than courses in self-esteem ( 自尊 ). These programs are based on the questionable assumption that a child who feels good about himself or herself won 't want to do anything wrong. But it is just as reasonable to make an opposite assumption: namely, that a child who has uncritical self-regard w ill conclude that he or she can 't do anything bad. Such naive self-acceptance results in large part from the non-directive ( 无指导性的 ), non-judgmental ( 无是非观的 ), as-long-as-you-feel-comfortable-with-your-choices mentality ( 思 想) that has pervaded ( 渗透) public education for the last two and one-half decades. Many of today 's drug education, sex education and values -education courses are based on the same 1960s philosophy that helped fuel the explosion in teen drug use and sexual activity in the first place. Meanwhile, while educators are still fiddling with ( 胡乱摆弄 ) outdated “feel - good ” approaches, New York, Washington, and Los Angeles are burning. Youngsters are leaving school believing that matters of right and wrong are always merely subjective. If you pass a stranger on the street and decide to murder him because you need money —if it feels right —you go with that feeling. Clearly, murder is not taught in our schools, but such a conclusion —just about any conclusion —can be reached and justified using the decision-making method. It is time to consign ( 寄出 ) the fads (风尚 ) of “decision - making ” and “non- judgmentalism ” to the ash heap of failed policies, and return to a proved method. Character education provides a much more realistic approach to moral formation. It is built on an understanding that we learn morality not by debating it but by practicing it. Sample teachers worried about students leaving them

summary 范文

Original: My neighbor's children love playing hide-and-seek as all children do, but no one imagine that a game they played last week would be reported in the local newspaper. One afternoon, they were playing in the vacant lot down the corner. Young Paul, who is only five years old, found the perfect place to hide. His sister, Natalie, had shut her eyes and was counting to ten when Paul noticed the storage mail box at the corner and saw that the metal door was standing open. The mailman had just taken out several sacks of mail and had carried them to his truck which was standing at the curb a few feet away. Paul climbed into the storage box and pulled the door closed so hard that it locked. Soon realizing what he had done, he became frightened and started crying. Meanwhile, Natalie was looking for him everywhere but could not find him. It was lucky that she happened to pause at the corner for a minute and heard her brother's cries. She immediately ran to tell the mailman who hurried back from his truck to unlock the metal door. Paul was now free, but he had had such a bad scare that he could not stop crying. The mailman, however, soon found a way of making him laugh again. He told him that the next time he wanted to hide in a mail box, he should remember to put a stamp on himself! Summary: The children were playing hide-and-seek in a vacant lot one afternoon. Finding that the storage mailbox had been left open, Paul hid and locked himself in it accidentally. His sister, Natalie, heard his cries and realized where he was hiding, so she immediately told the mailman to unlock the metal door. After letting him out, the mailman made him stop crying by telling him to put a stamp on himself the next he wanted to hide in a mailbox. Original: Why do some animals die out? In the past two hundred years people have caused many kinds of animals to die out--to become extinct. People keep building houses and factories in fields and woods. As they spread over the land, they destroy animals' homes. If the animals can't find a place to live, they die out. Sixteen kinds of Hawaiian birds have become extinct for this reason. Other animals, such as the Florida Key deer, may soon die out because they are losing their homes.Hunters have caused some animals to become extinct, too. In the last century, hunters killed all the passenger pigeons in North America and most of the buffalos. Today they are fast killing off hawks and wolves. Pollution is killing many animals today, too. As rivers become polluted, fish are poisoned. Many die. Birds that eat the poisoned fish can't lay strong, healthy eggs. New birds aren’t born. So far, no animals have become extinct because of pollution. But some, such as the bald eagle and the brown pelican, have become rare and may die out. Scientists think that some animals become extinct because of changes in climate. The places where they live become hotter or cooler, drier or wetter. The food that they eat cannot grow there any more. If the animals can't learn to eat something else, they die. Dinosaurs may have died out for this reason. Summary:

Summary 1.The summary of “From Competence to Commitment”. In thisarticle,“From Competence to Commitment”,Ernest Boyer argues that itis not enough to merely teach undergraduates the specialized skills needed to do a particular job. R ather, students need “a large vision.” He argues that they need to become familiar with issues far beyond the simple concerns of a narrow academic field, and gain an appreciation of the values and philosophy of their own culture as well as the issues shaping nations far from the university campus. In addition to learning specialized facts and skills, students should examine larger issues of right and wrong, so that each student may develop the intellectual sophistication required to make wise decision for themselves and their society. Therefore Ernest Boyerstates that the undergraduate education should move the student from competence to commitment. At first, the author reveals a common phenomenon that many college students are confused about where to put their belief. In order to work out this problem, undergraduate education should reflect in loyalties that rise above self. Next, college graduates should fulfill civic obligations. The imperative measures should be taken to narrow the gap between public policy and public understanding in American teaching today. The complicated public liferequires more participation of citizens,

河海大学研究生英语unit 14 summary

Unit 14 Summary In the text the author makes clear that mistakes are at very base of human thought.If things go wrong, it must be a personal, human error.The computer is an extension of the human brain.But real thinking is not the responsibility of the computer.So to err is human.Making mistakes is not the important error,what is needed is to learn from our mistakes and make progress.Other creatures do not seem to have DNA sequences for making mistakes.In fact,making mistakes is a unique human gift that distinguishes humans from other low-grade animals and encourages us to actively explore and create. The author advocates that computers should have ideas and do their own things.If computers were not interfered with by human thought, an ordinary computer would be able to work out the conclusion we had spent our entire life.We will reap huge gains from almost infinite precision machine calculations.The future of mankind and computers may be promising. 171319030007 张丹丹
