完形填空原文及相应答案

The energy crisis, which is being felt around the world, has dramatized how the

careless use of the earth's resources has brought the whole world to the drink of

disaster. The overdevelopment of motor transport, with its increase of more cars,

more highways, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting, has contributed to the

near-destruction of our cities, the breakup of the family, and the pollution not

only of local air but slao of the earth's atmosphere. The disaster has arrived in

the form of the energy crisis.

Our present situation is unlike war, revolution or depression. It is also unlike

the great natural disasters of the past. Worldwide resources exploitation and energy

use have brought us to a state where long-range planning is essential. What we need

is not a continuation of our present serious state, which endangers the future of

our country, our children, and our earth, but a movement forward to a new norm in

order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.

This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of loss

morality and the revelation that lawbreaking has reached into the highest places

in the land. There is a strong demand for moral revival and for some devotion that

is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all. In the past

it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own ideals that

any people have been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly.

This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold

dear in cooperation with all the other inhabitants of this planet, who share with

us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need

ti reassess our present course, to change that coursem and to devise new methods

through which the world can survive. This is a preiceless opportunity.

08考博英语第二篇阅读题及答案

Every dream is a message from your unconscious self,expressed in a code which only

you can understand and interpret.The images,colours,moods and terms of your dreams

depend on your culture,upbringing,slang and your own understanding of things and

values.Dreaming is like looking into a mirror and seeing yourself with your own eyes.

The first dreams which we have after falling asleep often revolve around the day’s

events.We go through them,sorting out and discarding things we don’t need to

remember and gaining insight into those we do.Often,we are inspired with suggestions

that we can use to remedy the situations that plague us by day.As we progress through

the night’s dreams,they may take up more fantastic quanlities,offering fanciful

experience.These often pleasant images can relieve the stress of the day.But the

dream we have just before the awakening often contains information the subconscious

mind wants to make known to the conscious.And this information,if

remembered,interpreted,and understood,can serve as an important tool in our lives.

Depending upon the content,dreams can strike us with their peculiarty,or sometimes

even their alarming nature.Some dreams haunt us for years,not only because of their

persisitence,but also primarily because we cannot explain or understand them.Other

dreams stand out with the weird mixture of images,emotions and context,which make

us remember them for life.Recurring dreams are quite common,and we are facing the

same problem over and over again.A recurring dream is often a sign of some emotional

weakness in our nature,which causes us problems over the years. Lucid dreams are rare,but they are all about people’s ablility to control heir

dreams.In such a dream,the dreamers becomes consciously aware that she/he is

dreaming and is able to use the memory and participate in dream actions and

emotions.Lucid dreams are usually enhanced in a sensory and imaginary way,and

sometimes can be accompanied by pleasant music.People can learn the techniques of

controlling their dreams.Some historic manuscripts and records say that the ability

to control dreams helps a person to reach a higher degree of mind development.This

is what some Tibetan Buddhists and Islam followers practiced for the purpose of

elevation in consciousness.

1.dreams can only be understood by the dreamer because____.

[A] they are always based on your deep feelings.

[B]they are expressed in a code only you can understand.

2.According to the author, dreams____

[A] are always about the days events,sorting out them one by one.

[B]are primarily meant to relieve the stress of the day.

[C]are only important at the stage just before you wake up.

[D]move from different stages,each with different functions.

3.Recurring dreams occur_____

[A] because of a repetition of event,problem or emotional weakness.

[B]because of a certain life situation that causes us stress.

[C]because we are emotionally weak.

[D]because we can not explain them.

4.The word “lucid”(Line 1,Para 4) refers to ____

08考博英语最后一篇阅读题及答案和解析及其翻译

Is this happening in your neighborhood? Children, notebook computers stuck under their arms,

await the yellow bus for the trip to middle school. On the surface, the question of computers in

schools is a no-brainer. It would be strange to insist that today’s technology shouldn’t be used to

make the classroom experience more individualized, more effective, more immediate, more

exciting. Computers have been in schools more than 20 years — and probably even done some

good.

But the idea of a personal computer as a necessary daily tool for every American grammar school

pupil is altogether a different thing. Beware the superficially attractive vision of 10-year-olds

doing most of their work — and homework — on a computer. It’s another illusory silver bullet

that promises to solve all of society’s ills through technology. Regardless of whether parents or

taxpayers buy the machinery, it’s a bad policy.

Determining the proper role of computers in schools is too important to be left to computer

suppliers and educators. An educated public with clear and realistic expectations needs to help

determine the right track for technology.

Educators forever seem to seek the ultimate in curricular or teaching tools. They are always

preoccupied with innovation — junior high school, new math, whole language, open classrooms

and mastery learning, to name a few. Some ideas turned out well and over time have earned

permanent positions in our education systems. Others reflected change for change’s sake and

wound up in the trash bin, where they belong.

Exactly what is to be solved with computers in schools? Are we looking to improve instructional

capacity and flexibility? Are we trying to make teachers and aides more productive by letting

students take advantage of programmed learning tools? This all sounds good, and much has been

accomplished with computer assisted instruction.

But that’s not the same as making the computer a symbol of well-tempered educational policy.

There’s danger in the message that a child is not fully educated if he or she can’t surf the World

Wide Web skillfully, move around in Windows or the Finder, use a word processing program, or

program in Logo or Basic.

These skills can be learned outside the classroom. Worse, the time it takes students to acquire

them is time stolen from the legitimate teaching schedule — and that’s a bad trade.

And what kind of computers should be purchased? We’re not talking brand names. Most

school systems don’t have the money to replace PCs or Macs on the two- to three-year cycle that

shifting technologies demand. On the other hand, $2,500 — the cost of just one computer —

invested in books for the school library produces an asset that has, shall we say, a longer shelf life.

And who changes the factory culture of schoolrooms to allow computers to be more effective?

And who teaches the teachers? These are the really tough issues — the ones that more hardware

won’t solve.

Children are best served when schools contribute to shaping the solid foundations on which their

future will be built. The student who can read with curiosity and understanding, who has mastered

basic mathematical concepts, who can evaluate ideas critically, is the one schools should aim to

produce.

1. According to the author, teaching computer in the school classroom is bad practice

because .

[A] the computer is too expensive a luxury for school pupils

[B] the pupils are not intelligently mature enough to master the skills

[C] it takes too much time which might has been spent on regular courses

[D] the pupils can learn nothing from computer assisted instruction

2. A “no-brainer” in the third sentence of the first paragraph probably means .

[A] something that is taken for granted

[B] an idea that is brainless and foolish

[C] a proposal that is not worthy of serious consideration

[D] a machine that can never take the place of human brain

3. Who can determine the proper role of computers in schools?

[A] Computer suppliers. [B] Computer educators.

[C] The educated public. [D] All of the

above.

4. In the last paragraph the author implies that .

[A] computer skills contribute nothing to proper education

[B] computer teaching is an indispensable part of education

[C] the fundamental purpose of education is being ignored

[D] teachers should be taught how to teach computer skills

5. The author’s attitude towards the present way of teaching computer in schools is .

[A] critical [B] objective

[C] positive [D] optimistic

After work, I like to do shopping with friends or watch TV at home. Sometimes, I also like to chat on the Internet. Best regards, Michelle

2、(1) 童年梦想(2)目前的情况(3)对未来的希望 Sample

1st August 2005 Dear Jennifer:

Thank you for telling me about yourself. I’d like to let you know more about me too.

As a child, I wanted to be a detective. I thought a detective was really great because he could solve criminal cases to do justice. But my dream never came true, I’m now a librarian, dealing with books every day. The work is nothing thrilling, but I like it. Since there are more and more electronic materials, I hope that we will have an e-library built soon. Looking forward to hearing from you again. Best wishes, Ian

3、(1)事件发生的时间和地点(2)人物(3)事件的经过 Sample

One day last week, a girl parked her car outside a fashion house. As soon as she was inside, two men opened the car door, started the engine and drove away in just one minute. When the girl recovered from the shock, she called 110. Luckily, there was a police patrol car nearby. So the girl got in the police car and they drove in the direction where the thieves escaped. Twenty minutes later, they found the car waiting at a busy crossroad for the traffic lights to turn green. Needless to say, the car thieves were caught red-handed.

4、(1)自主(autonomous)学习与远程教育(2)自主学习与合作(collaborative)学习(3)你自己的学习情况 Sample

Autonomous learning is an important learning style in distance education. It is an essential skill for distance learners because they study alone most of the time. They do not meet their tutors or classmates very. However, distance learners can learn a lot from each other. So autonomous learning and collaborative learning go hand in hand. I am a distance learner. I have to do most learning tasks by myself. Meanwhile we have group activities every two weeks to complete some learning tasks or share experiences. I have found both forms of learning very helpful. 5、(1)有一种观点认为:城市生活比乡村生活好(2)你对这种观点的看法(3)你的结论 Sample

Some people believe that town life is better than country life. I don’t agree with this. Town life can be convenient to us in many aspects. For example, you can move around easily, shopping can be more fun in a big shopping mail and you can enjoy a more colorful nightlife. But there are also many disadvantages. It is mush nosier than in the country. Air pollution is more serious. It is not easy to park your car. It costs more to live in town. To name but a few is enough. Therefore, I prefer country life. 6、(1)保持身体健康的重要性(2)保持身体健康的方法(3)重申保持身体健康的意义 Sample

Nowadays, more and more people know the importance of keeping healthy. Without a healthy body, we can do nothing. For me, there are main ways to keep healthy.

Fist, it is necessary to keep a balanced diet, which is the basis of good health. Is is important to take regular exercises, such as swimming, jogging and so on. Last but not least, it is essential to keep in a good mood.

Relaxation and entertainment are ways to renew our spirits and release our

1

stress.

When we make healthy habits a part of our everyday life, we are bound to keep healthy. 7、(1)哪一种是你最喜欢的交通方式(2)阐述你的理由(3)作出结论

In a modern city, there are many means of transportation, such as subway, taxi, bus and so on.. But my favorite means of transportation is by bike. Fist, riding a bike is good for keeping healthy. I spend one hour riding a bike to my office on my working day, and I think it is a good form of physical exercise. Secondly, it is money-saving. Recently, the private car drivers always complain the price of gas is higher and higher, but if you ride a bike, it will cost you nothing. Thirdly, it is beneficial for protecting the environment, so it is a ―green‖ form of transportation.

Therefore, although it has some disadvantages, I like riding a bike best. 8、(1)描述你家的位置(2)各个房间的功能(3)表达你对你家居条件的态度

My home is a newly-built house in the north of the city. We have three rooms in addition to the kitchen and bathroom. The fist room is the How are you!

It seems quite spacious because we have little furniture. We sleep, lessons and generally relax there. I think my home is cozy and I like my home. 9、(1)你最喜欢的电视节目是什么(2)你喜欢它的理由(3)作出结论

CCTV today offers a great variety of programmes to meet different needs and tastes. For example, the weather forecast, serials, films, sports and so on. My favorite TV programme, however, is the news.

There are several points that are worth mentioning. For one thing, it covers news about important events both at home and abroad. Besides, the news it provides is timely and reliable. Finally, it broadcasts in the evening during the so-called ―golden time‖. It saves me much time reading through newspapers for current affairs.

In short, watching the news on CCTV has become part of my daily life. 10、(1)你理想的工作是什么样(2)你的理由(3) 如何实现你的理想

Everybody has his dream his career in the future. He or she might want to be a teacher, a doctor, a scientist, a sportsperson and so on. To tell you the truth, my ideal job is in business. The idea came into being when I was a child.

every dream is a message from篇三:There is a dream

Ideal and Reality

In the 1920s , the air was filled with the vertical atmosphere of singing and drinking in the United States. By chance, , Nick ,a poor staff who came from the western of the United States went to New York to pursue his dream, he was engaged in the business of bonds . He inadvertently broke into Gatsby’s secret world. He was surprised to find that, the only stumble in his heart was one little green light across the river , there lived his lover, Daisy. However, the cold reality can not tolerate the misty dream, in the end, Gatsby’s goddess was just a mundane , capricious , irresponsible and material woman. And when Gatsby was died , no one cared , either business partners or friends . When the truth was to be lighted , Gatsby’s tragic life was the same as the fireworks, it showed the moment of bright , only the tribe is eternal. Finally Nick did not take one cloud from New York, and chose to went back home . But Gatsby left him a real story and profound thinking.

There is a dream,rooted deeply in every American, from the very beginning of the MayFlower, that the great great grandfathers of all Americans had been contemplating and seeking, and of all Americans that has been written in the second sentence of the United States Declaration of Independence which states that “all men are created equal” and that they are “endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights” including “Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness.”The American

Dream ,is a belief that as long as the United States after a hard struggle will be able to achieve the ideal of a better life , that is ,people have to work through their own hard work,courage,creativity and determination to move towards Prosperity, rather than rely on specific social classes and other assistance . This is usually on behalf of the people in the economic success or entrepreneurial spirit.

Yet, the dream has already became a nightmare , that in the money-orienting , power-persuing minds springing up since the Industry Revolution, Americans have fallen in , not only the way of life through which Americans rifling for more luxurious enjoyment ,but the morality of heart that they persued prosperity with all costs of which they were oblivious .

Luckily , we had people who saw the reality much more clearly than the blind masses, while those were considered Critics of sorts . They pointed out that many versions of the dream equate prosperity with happiness , and that happiness may not always be that simple . These critics suggest that the American Dream may always remain tantalizingly out of reach for some Americans ,making it more like a cruel joke than a genuine dream . Fitzgerald was one of them who went the first step that American fiction has taken since Henry James, because he depicted the extolled

grandest and most boisterous ,reckless and merry-making scene.

The Great Gatsby soon came into beginning , in which first half is comedy ,second half is tragedy . After the war ,Gatsby came east and bought his mansion near Daisy and Tom ,where he hosts parties hoping she will visit . Before then Gatsby was a man of integrity and honor , who received great respect from the society to his wealth and power .While after his death ,he was merely remembered , forgotten in the flew of time and lust .These parties were fashionable ,but pointless . It was only a show-off of Gatsby’s riches and material success . The crowds hardly knew their host; many came and went without invitation .The music ,the laughter and the faces ,all blurred as one confused mass , showed the purposelessness and the loneliness of the party-goers beneath their marks of relaxation and joviality .All this was typical of “the Jazz Age”, when many people lost belief in American dream and indulge themselves in drinking and dancing .The great expectations which the first settlement of the American continent brings vanish , and so despair and doom set in . The exavagent life ,the noisy people constitute Gatsby’s parties .However ,the depiction of the fashionable and meaningless parties served to highlight Gatsby’s tragedy by contrating the grandeur of his party with his violent death ,with the frustration of his dream .Gatsby’s funeral was rather deserted and cheerless compared with

his parties .It’s a record of human coldness . Gatsby’s generous parties had not brought him even one friend .What’s more ,Daisy ,once Gatsby’s lover ,the real killer ,”hadn’t sent a message or a flower “.The sharp contrast between the exavagence of the parties and the coldness of the funeral revealed the hypocritical relationship among people and the moral degradation of the Jazz Age .

Gatsby ,though his wealth came from his criminal activities ,was the typical symbol of American dream in that time , and the whole hearted dedication of Gatsby and his sincere belief in what he did made him heroic ,and this submerged the unpleasant details so that they did not seem important in the final outcome , as has the American dreammer who were so stubborn to believe perspirition would bring what they want .

The real killer who murderred Gatsby was the society ,in which people could become rich overnight by non-moral means .A poor beautiful girl could marry a wealthy boy who may not be handsome for the purpose of being rich ,and a young man could find a job in which he would do nothing but be paid .While Gatsby ,the true heir to the American dream ,was killed by Conspiracy of his lover Daisy ,who was actually stimulated by the vanity fair ,and lived in luxury at the cost of Gatsby ,to whom without mercy .The cruel reality smashed Gatsby’s dream.

Fizgerald’s comment on the failure of Gatsby’s dream was also a statement on the failure of American dream. The contrast of the dream and the reality significantly indicated a moving way from faith and hope in a world where material interests had driven out sentimentality and faith .What’s more ,even if it persists , is utterly helpless and defenseless against a materials society .It can only be defeated .Gatsby was an example .owing to his unrealistic dream ,Gatsby’s fate turned out to be a tragedy .Because he was not conscious of his unrealistic dream of love and he did not correctly handle contradictions between ideal and reality ,Gatsby sunk into this kind of unreal dream so deeply that he can’t wake up .And the final result of Gatsby was surely miserable .

The sharp contrast between dream and reality not only explains Gatsby’s failure at the end ,it also explains the meaninglessness of that age .In a word , these contrasts provide the readers with a panorama of 1920s .And in the contrast ,the theme of the novel ,the disillusion of the American dream ,is strengthened .In the mean time , the loss of the American dream reflects the corruption of people’s morality .

初三完型填空练习题

A

The most difficult thing for university student Shaun Rogers is opening his classroom door. Shaun can’t do this without help because he’s only six years old. He’s the youngest person ever to (1)s______ at Rochester University in New York. Shaun began reading at two, and by four he knew a lot about many (2)t______ from astronomy(天文学) to zoology(动物学). At the age of five, he could regularly talk to university professors about his ideas. He has just completed his first book which will come out in a few months, shortly after his seventh birthday. “I love learning,” says Shaun. “My hero is the scientist Albert Einstein because he never combed his hair or wore socks.” Psychologists(心理学家) have found it difficult to test Shaun’s cleverness because they do not have a score that is high (3)e______ for him. Shaun’s mother first knew her son was different when he kept crying at playschool because he was bored with the children’s games. She started (4)t______ him at home after finding that local schools were not prepared for children who learnt at Shaun’s speed. Now Shaun is studying geography at Rochester University and using the Internet to complete his high school studies.

However, some psychologists warn that too much study can (5)s______ a child from growing up in a healthy way. “ I don’t care how clever the kid is, six-year-olds have to (6)p______with their friends,” says Dr Brain Wood. Mrs Rogers doesn’t agree that her son’s time is completely taken up by schoolwork. “He loves the violin and has many outdoor interests, such as camping, fishing and swimming, just like other boys of his (7)a______.”

B

Humans have five senses: sight, hearing, taste, (1)s______ and touch. We use these senses every day in our lives when we work, play, eat and drink. Animals have senses too, and sometimes they work much better than ours. We have our food prepared for us—but animals need to (2)f______ their own food using their senses. For example, animals that hunt other animals often have very good sight. Some birds can see a mouse at a (3)d______ of 1.5 kilometres. However, they don’t always catch the mouse. Mice have very, very good hearing and this helps them stay away from danger!

Insects sometimes have senses that are (4)d______ from ours. For example, butterflies don’t taste with their mouth—they taste with their feet. Crickets (蟋蟀)don’t hear with their ears—they hear with their legs. Chameleons (变色龙) have two eyes, but they can move their eyes separately and look in two different directions at the same time!

Some animals seem to have a special sense that tells them about the future. Birds, ants and many other animals are busier looking for food just before bad weather. This helps them stay alive because it is more difficult to find food when the weather is bad. Birds also use this (5)a______ to get out of bad weather when they fly long distances. For centuries, people have noticed that animals often behave (6)s______ before an earthquake. For example, in January 1975, a lot of farmers in one part of China told scientists that their horses and cows did not want to go into barns(畜棚). A few days later, there was a large earthquake in that region. Do animals have a special sense that knows when earthquake will happen? The answer is probably yes, but scientists do not yet

“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”

This may (1)s______ like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in 53 AD wrote it.

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can (2)c______ our lives.

But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings; a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen; the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the screen of the computer goes blank and you (3)l______ all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done.

Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and (4)t______. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, and even no electricity often seem to be much (5)h______? Perhaps it’s because they live simpler lives.

One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life would be like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, (6)s______nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machines, microwaves, computers or mobile phones.

The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life (7)b______.” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”

D

More and more people around the world are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who

have looked for adventures —those who have (1)c______ the highest mountains, travelled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few (2)m______ or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping (蹦极)to be a good (3)e______ of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour (4)u______the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of a high cliff.

Why do people take part in such activities? Some psychologists say that it is (5)b______ life in modern society has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival(生存).

Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become

(6)i______. The answer for some of these people is to look for (7)d______ in activities such as bungee jumping.

The (2)p______ is growing fast. There will be more people in the world and most of them will live longer than people do now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful and there will be at least one in every home. And computer science will be one of the most important subjects in school then.

People will work (3)f______ hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travelling. Travelling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries on holiday.

There will be changes in our (4)f______, too. More land will be used for building new houses. Then there will be

(5)l______ room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead, they will eat more fruit and vegetables. And people will be healthier. Work in the future will also be different. Robots will do (6)d______ and hard work. Because of this, many people will lose their jobs. This will be a

You fight scary monsters; you live in a house made of chocolate; you don’t have to go to school anymore. Where could all of these impossible things happen? In my dreams.

A dream is a series of pictures, ideas and emotions playing in the mind during sleep. Humans spend one third of lives sleeping and six years dreaming. A person usually has three to five dreams a night, although one may not remember his or her dreams.

Many dreams, at least the ones we remember, are strange and interesting. That’s why most people believe that dreams must have some deep meaning or important message. However, people in different cultures have different understandings of the same dream.

For example, when dreaming of fire, Chinese people think of money. The Japanese would say it means “trouble”. For people in the West, a dream of fire means something new is coming.

Scientists have very different opinions about the deep meaning of dreams. Some believe that a dream is only a normal process of sleep and doesn’t tell us anything. Other scientists think that a dream is a direct message from one’s mind. Dreams are like a window into one’s desires (愿望) and fears. For example, if you’re very nervous about an exam, you may have nightmares (噩梦) of monsters running after you.

Technology also helps us to know more about dreams. In the film Inception(《盗梦空间》), people enter others’ minds while they are dreaming. Well, in real life we can do that, too. Scientists can now read people’s dreams by scanning (扫描) their brain (大脑) activity during sleep. Would you let scientists look into your dreams?

52. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE?

A. A person can think out some good ideas while dreaming.

B. Dreaming costs much of a person’s sleeping time.

C. One can always remember what he/she dreams.

D. Everyone has three to five dreams a night

C. How scientists understand dreams D. What dreams bring to people

55. The author mentions Inception in the last paragraph, in order to______.

A. Introduce the film to people B. Advise people to see the film

C. Prove that it is a good film D. Introduce the idea of technology used in dreams 参考答案

Dream is above everything !

When we are kids,our dream is the beautiful candies and the cute toys;

When we grow older,We know how to distinguish good and bad we start to begin to understand and learn something more detailed,This time, it is no longer a childhood dream that had no purpose,We began to understand the vision, know how to pursue, so our dream began to be infected with the color of life.We chose fame, money, violance and a variety of desires as partners.fortunately we have not yet fallen.

We are adults,the pressure of reality and hopelessness slowly erode our dreams,our life become programmed,just like a pool of old well there is no longer fresh flow.Live slowly, and we get tired, want to find a reason, a monotonous life to this pursuit of becoming a viable reason, a reason to continue, so that life is no longer a reason to light gray, and for this reason ,Starred in the role can only be good.

every dream is a message from篇九:China’s dream is a collection of our dreams

China’s dream is a collection of our dreams

All of us have a dream, and mean while, we belong to one country---China. It means that our dreams are closely linked with China’s dream. The ultimate goal of the dream is to realize the great revival of the Chinese nation. There is a long way to go. But someone may ask what China’s dream to college students is. What is a dream? A dream is an expectation for future. I have a dream, I believe it is also every Chinese’s dream, it is China’s dream.

As for China’s dream, it means that every aggressive Chinese can form a belief from generation to generation—we can be better-off if we try our best. Just imagine that if we do not dream what would happen. If not, it will lead to “Brain Drain”, because dream is motive power to guide people to be positive. China’s dream includes: Democracy, Freedom, Equality and rights and opportunities to realize the dreams. To put it simple, on one aspect, it means that people should be better educated, for example, kids in remote areas can go to school and can feed themselves as well. Secondly, the workers can have stable jobs and reliable social security and they can also satisfied with their incomes. Thirdly, our government and hospital can provide good medical service at reasonable prices in out provincial people's hospital. But I think it is most important to have comfortable living conditions. It not only means that we have a wonderful house or an apartment but also means that beautiful natural environment. All of these have closely connections with our great China’s dream. As our president XI Jinping once said, “Empty talks would lead the country astray, and hard work can rejuvenate the nation.” Just as Practice Makes Perfect. As we college students, we should learn knowledge from classes but we also should blend ourselves with the society, such as take part in an publicity campaign. We should practice more according to the knowledge learn from classes.

All Chinese should contribute to our China’s dream.
