much taller all at once.」 Hearing this, his son ran to look at the seedlings.To his horror, all of them had dried up and died.

（十三）社會主義核心價值觀 19

一．傳統文化正消失

話題：1.現在許多傳統文化正慢慢消失2.傳統文化消失的原因3.我的看法

範文：

On the losing of traditional culture

It』s widely noted that lots of traditional cultures are disappearing along with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional ways of living have been deserted. it seems that the traditional culture and craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.

The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly, traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new sciences are always highly efficient, because modern science and technology facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot, with which we can save much money and time. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture, especially the maintenance and repair of the historical buildings.

In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it couldn』t keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the end.

二．校園裡的各種「星」比賽 20

1.校園裡也湧現出了各種選「星」比賽

2.這種現象帶來的問題

3.你的看法

範文

My view on the 「Campus Star」 Contest

At an age of character and individuality being encouraged and demonstrated, we see various 「stars」 pop up—singing stars, dancing stars, movie stars and sport stars. etc. Many schools even hold contests to choose their 「Campus Stars」. Although these activities make our cultural life in campus more colorful and various, a lot of problems spring up at the same time.

First of all, these activities can result in the swelling of vanity in some students, making them become arrogant, or even feel superior to other students. Moreover, these activities can greatly distract the students from their study. In order to become a star, they will, without any doubt, spend a lot of time and energy on the preparation and competition. The focus of their academic life will be shifted, and even worse, they become too enthusiastic about extracurricular activities and hate the academic knowledge ad skills they need to grasp for their future development.

On the whole, I think these various 「 Campus Star」 contests should be controlled in the campus. After all, schools are different from any other social institutions. Extracurricular activities should be encouraged, but they should be helpful to the students』 academic study and all-round development.

三．幸福感 21

話題：How to enhance the sense of happiness

1.人們對於如何提升幸福感有不同看法

2.幸福感提升不僅包含物質層面，也指……

範文

The sense of happiness is of great significance. As a vital factor of life, it brings us power, arouses our enthusiasm for loving life, and helps us to create a promising future. However, in contemporary China, it has become a trend for Chinese people to hold different views about happiness and the way to enhance it.

In addition to material basis, the sense of happiness also refers to several other aspects. Firstly, based on a recent survey, a majority of individuals admit that they are no longer content with being fed and clothed adequately, and their happiness depends more on their success in careers, friendship and love. Secondly, a great many people claim that health is the key to their sense of happiness. It is health that enables them to build up a solid foundation for anything significant.

As a student, I am convinced that never can money equal happiness. To enhance our sense of happiness, we should educate, advocate and encourage our friends and classmates to enrich their knowledge, broaden their horizons and cultivate their ability.

四．文明旅遊 22

每年都有許多人外出旅遊，一些人的不文明行為引起了社會的廣泛關注。某英文報社正在舉行以「文明旅遊」為主題的討論。假定你是李華，請你給報社寫一封信，呼籲大家做文明遊客。要點如下：

1．尊重習俗； 2．不高聲喧嘩； 3．其他。

注意：1．詞數100左右； 2．可以適當增加細節，以使行文連貫；

3．開頭和結尾語已為你寫好，不計入總詞數。

Dear Editor,

I』ve read your discussion on how to behave properly while traveling. Every year, a great many holidaymakers go out for sightseeing and relaxation. While they are enjoying themselves, some of them behave rudely, which causes a big concern. How to be a civilized tourist has become a heated topic.

In my opinion, it is necessary to watch our manners. First, we must respect and follow local customs. Besides, we』d better not talk loudly in public places to avoid disturbance to others. Also, be aware that queue jumping is unacceptable in many countries. More importantly, if we travel abroad, we should bear in mind that we are representing our country, so we need to be cautious about how we act. Only in this way can we enjoy our trips and have beautiful memories as well.

Yours truly

2. 列舉1-2個你所知道的國家或當地政府文化保護的事例;

3. 談談你對文化保護的建議。

字數要求：120字。

Protect Traditional Chinese Culture

The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮劇)， a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society』s performance. Besides, we should draw more people』s attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger support we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

Hi! Tom,

My favorite Chinese festival is the Spring Festival which comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year. There is a name for each year, such as the dog, the monkey, the tiger or one of the twelve animals, and this year is the year of the horse.

Before the New Year』s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the last evening of the old year, all the members of a family will get together and have a big meal. People usually have jiaozi, fish, niangao and many other dishes. On the first or second day of the new year, people usually go to visit their relatives and friends and give some lucky money to children.

Among all the festivals, I like the Spring Festival best not only because I can enjoy delicious food, but also because I can relax myself by spending a few days with my family, my relatives and my friends.

Yours,

Li Hua

Hi! Tom,

I』m glad to hear that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. There are many traditional festivals in China, and my favorite is the Spring Festival. It falls on the first day of the Chinese lunar New Year. The Spring Festival is as important as Christmas in the U.S. and Chinese people have been celebrating it for many years.

To celebrate the Spring Festival, I usually stick the Chinese character 「Fu」 upside down on the door, which means happiness will come. Besides, I always prepare some red paper cutting to decorate my house because I believe the red color can bring our family good luck. On the eve of the festival, My family usually get together, having dinner and sharing some interesting experiences. Midnight is my favorite time because I can set off fireworks and admire them. Shining little stars coming out of fireworks create a warm atmosphere. Everyone is overjoyed as they say farewell to the old year and welcome the new year.

I really like the Spring Festival because it』s time for family reunions and the relationship between us becomes closer. Besides. What』s more, I can do various activities during the festival. I hope you can come to China to experience this colorful and meaningful festival.

Yours,

Li Hua
