Jack jumped off the porch and ______ across the lawn.
(1)"Please pass the turkey and dressing." What does this simple request make you think about? If you are an American, you think about Thanksgiving. A turkey dinner symbolizes Thanksgiving for Americans. What does Thanksgiving remind Americans of? Their families. Thanksgiving is a family time. On this holiday, families gather to gobble up the gobbler and stuff themselves with stuffing. Family members enjoy watching parades and football games on TV and just being together. What does "family" mean to Americans? (2)The traditional American family is a "nuclear family". A nuclear family refers to a husband and wife and their children. The average American family today has two or three children (and maybe a few pets). In some cultures, people live close to their extended family. Several generations may even live together. In America, only in a few cases does more than one household live under one roof. (3)American values receive a warm welcome in the home. Many homes are run like a democracy. Each family member can have a say. A sense of equality often exists in American homes. Instead of fearing Mom and Dad, children may think of them as good friends. Husbands and wives often share household chores. In many cases, a child can enjoy privacy in his or her own bedroom. From an early age, children gain responsibility in handling money. They may receive a weekly allowance or even work part-time jobs. Often parents give children freedom to make their own decisions. Preschoolers choose what clothes to wear or which toys to buy. Young adults generally make their own choices about what career to pursue and whom to marry. (4)Families in America, like those in every culture, face many problems. Social pressures are breaking apart more and more American homes. Over half of U.S. marriages now end in divorce. More than one in four American children is growing up in single-parent homes. As a result, many people believe the American family is in trouble. (5)Even so, there is still reason for hope. Many organizations are working hard to strengthen families. Americans almost unanimously believe that the family is one of the most important parts of life. The vast majority also feel that the traditional two-parent family is best for children. They realize that problems in family life in recent years have brought about serious consequences. As a result, more and more people are making their family a priority. Many women are quitting their jobs to stay home with their children. Families are going on vacations and outings together. Husbands and wives are making a concentrated effort to keep their marriages solid. (6)The United Nations has declared 1994 the "International Year of the Family". Not just in America, but all over the world, people recognize the importance of strong families. How do you strengthen the family bond? Do special things for each other. Talk to each other. Play together. Spend time together. Oh, and one more thing: be thankful for each other. If you have a family, every day should be Thanksgiving.

Should every student who study foreign language and culture spend a period of time studying and living in foreign country? This has been intensely discussed for years. The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES When we study a foreign language, it is very effective for us to go to the country in which the target language is spoken. In foreign country, we are surrounded by the language that we are learning, and we are forced to use it whether or not we want, so we can learn more rapidly and easily. In terms of culture, second hand experience is nowhere close to " experiencing the culture" in the native environment. In foreign countries, we can hear different opinions from what we have heard before and have an opportunity to ask the natives questions that we encounter in studies. NO Given that learning abroad does yield benefits, the question of " applicability" seems to be neglected. Students, with diverse academic interests and disciplines, might not need to get in touch with exotic cultures or acquire foreign languages to the extent of working on them in foreign countries. Most foreign languages and cultures coveted by students originate from developed countries where tuition and life expenses are relatively high, which may add to heavy financial burden on students. It's very common that many students studying abroad never desire to go back to devote their life and energy to their countries because they have been accustomed to the foreign advanced technology and lifestyle.
People have different expectations of jobs. Nowadays, whether or not to stay in one position for a long time is a problem that troubles a lot of people. Some people prefer to do the same job in the same company while others would rather change jobs frequently. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES The merit of going in for a life-time career is obvious. Firstly, working in the same position for a long time can help you become an expert in this area, so you can get familiar with your work from every angle and accumulate abundant experience. If you stick at one post, you will have the opportunity to know every aspect of the job; as time goes by, you will definitely have a good command of it. Consequently you may become a veteran of the field and earn prestige and respect from others. In addition, mistakes in your routine tasks would be minimized because of your rich experience. Finally, you can establish an extensive social connection relating to the field, which will help you tear down most of the barriers standing in the way of your work. NO Staying in one position for a long time will definitely result in boredom. As people's patience is limited, some, especially the young, may feel that the longer they do the same job, the less interest they may have. In comparison, if one person changes job frequently, he will never be annoyed by this problem. Then let's look at work motivation. If one works for the same company for a long time without promotion, he may feel bored and tired of doing the same daily routine. Changing jobs frequently would endow one with the feeling of freshness. What's more, in view of the fierce competition in the job market, having more working experiences would definitely be an advantage.
