試題 :
Reading and Writing 1:The public in general have been critical against young
people who still stay at home(the so-called KIPPERS.) Our textbook article
reveals that both parents and children have their self-righteous ends of
staying with each other. Please read through the following paragraph and
write a paragraph to (1)evaluate the pros and cons of libing with parents
in Chinese societies;(2)discuss how KIPPERS can be at issue in Chinese
societies;(3)argue for your own position on this issue (be it cynical or
sympathetic to KIPPERS).
In the United States,young people generally leave home between 18 and 25, and
it has long been considered a sign of immaturity to continue living at home
after hte age of 21. However,rising house prices and the rise of the kipper
culture has meant that there has been a recent tendency for young people to
stay at home longer. Because this is a change in traditional patters of
behavior, it is a topical issue in the US. You may find nothing strange in the
idea of young people living at home in their late twenties and early thirties,
but the fact that it is considered an issue in other cultures can still lead
to thought-provoking discussion.
Reading and Writing 2:In some cultures,family ties are enhanced in a different
fashion. Please read through the following article and (1)answer 10
comprehensive question about the article;(2)write a paragraph to elaborate on
the dream shared between you and your family(Please explain why you all have
dreamt about something and describe the efforts you have made to make it come
true);(3)discuss whether you would like to be KIPPERS or follow the example of
Eduardo.
The Dreams Eduardo Ortega
It was a cold morning, and Eduardo Ortega was nervous. He held a large
envelope which contains hes dream. However, he was too nervous to open it.
"This is everything," he said. "I've worked for this since I was a young
boy." But Eduardo was no longer a boy. In the mirror, he saw the scars on his
hands, arms, and face. He looked much older than he really was. He remembered
the long hours working in the field, picking strawberries and beans.
During those yesrs, Eduardo became much more than a child woeker. He
became an excellent student. After the workday, his tired friends drank coffee
or slept. Eduardo studied, read, and wrote poetry and short stories. Although
he missed many classes, he became the school's best student.
One school year, Eduardo achieved on e of his dream-- to fly on an
airplane for the first time. He wrote an essay that won a prize--a trip to San
Francisco. As he flew, he felt free from his life of hard work in the fields.
He promised himself not to return to that kind of life. He loved to fly.
So this morning, he put the envelope into his backpack and caught the
school bus. When he started school, he knew only a few English words. But he
studied hard in his English classes. Within two years, he was on the honor
roll. Teachers praised him for his organization and intelligence. His high
school English teacher knew he would become a college student.
Eduardo arrived at school with the envelope. He walked past his
classmates and sat down in the cafeteria. He tore open the envelope and began
reading the letter inside. It was the answer to his application to the state
unibersity. It was also the answer to beginning his dream of becoming a pilot.
Even though he worked to help his family, his father always encouraged him to
go to school. So, while he worked, he also studied. Many days, he thought it
was hopeless. He was too tired to read his books. But his father just smiled
and told him he could do it.
Eduardo knew that his dream was his father's dream, too. His father was
a smart man, but he was too poor to go to college. He loved to read, but never
had time, because he worked long hours. Eduardo's education was important for
all of his family. He was the oldest. If he went to college, his brother and
sister would do the same thing.
So, now, as he read the words, "Congratulations... you have been accepted
," he knew that his dream was not loss. One day, he would be a pilot, flying
every day to all the exciting places in the world.
