Because of research priorities at the national and academic levels, we know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the ocean floor of our own planet, despite the central role the oceans play in global transportation, food production, and climate. It would be more sensible to reallocate those resources dedicated to space research to the exploration of our oceans. Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above.

问答题What is Krashen's Input Hypothesis?

问答题Some small traders worry that eBay has lost interest in them. They say it"s increasingly focused on winning business from large retailers instead. "In this six to seven years I"ve been doing it, I have seen it changed quite a lot as well. It has gone from kind of embracing the smaller sellers to now embracing the larger companies. They are making themselves into more of a marketplace, almost like Amazon. It seems that if what they"re going for, they"re looking to make eBay into this marketplace of major retailers and big sellers. And this has kind of squeezed on small people because when people search, the smaller sellers tend to come up lesser in the ratings or lower in the ratings, so they are harder to find their items. And so eBay has changed into more of a corporation as opposed to the small company." EBay is now pursuing new business models. It"s also facing a radical shift in the way people use its services. It"s started out as a pure auction site, but now most transactions are done at a fixed price which makes eBay more similar to other online retailers. Some say it"s merely adapting to changed market conditions. Others worry that eBay is in danger of losing its soul. 注释： (1)retailer n. 零售商 (2)kind of(口语表程度)，有几分，有点 (3)embrace v. 拥抱 (4)Amazon亚马逊交易网站 (5)squeeze v. 压，挤 (6)pursue v. 追赶，追逐 (7)auction n. 拍卖，竞拍 (8)transaction n.

问答题我们已经习惯了这样认识母亲：她是为我们而存在的，是属于我们的，属于父亲，婆婆，哥哥，我，以及我们的下一代。小的时候，我们习惯了母亲在灯下捏着针线，为我们缝补农服，下班回来给我们带好吃的，去学校为我们开家长会，柔声细语地抚慰我们，擦去我们的泪水。“文革”中父亲的突然死亡，使我们看见了一个孤单无助的母亲，那是因为她把头埋在了自己的臂弯里，浑身颤抖，从那下面传出陌生的无力的抽泣声。那一刻她没有理睬我们惊恐的呼唤。那一刻，她是暂离我们而远去了，去到她一个人的世界，可不久她又回来了。为我们去单位蹲牛棚，扫厕所。真的，的确是为了我们，我当时是这样对她说的——姆妈，为了我们，你要活下去，我以为这句话能够让她不死。当时才十几岁的我，已模糊地认定母亲是不会舍下我们的，我们，就是她活在世上的全部理由。母亲果然没有随父亲而去。天长日久，我们习惯了她憔悴、操劳，她对脾气乖戾的祖母(她的婆婆)的全力侍奉和忍让，对小孩们慈爱温和的笑。在我们心目中，这就是母亲的形象：一个终身的孝媳，贤妻，良母。 现在，我们身边和心里有了巨大的缺失。母亲把自己整个儿带走了，而我们仍在。母亲自身即是一个整体。这是我们从前很少想到的。
