Exercise 3;

One characteristic of modern life is strong competition, and competition inevitably results in stress. For example, people have to try to do better than others in their work to get promoted, or, they have to study harder than others to obtain more or better chances. Also, people have to compete against each other in many other respects to attain their goals of life. Indeed, extreme stress has become unbearable to people struggling in their modern life.
Of course, a certain amount of stress is vital for it may provide one with motivation and give purpose to one’s life. It is hard to imagine what life will be like if one doesn’t have any stress whatsoever. However, it is undeniable that too much stress will contribute to one’s mental decline and hence endanger his health. One often hears of middle-aged intellectuals dying prematurely because of stress. It is certainly a big loss to the company or institution involved, but it is definitely a disaster to the family concerned.
In my opinion, stress is unavoidable in modern life. The point is that people should learn to strike a good balance between stress and relaxation. Only in this way can people live an active and positive life without suffering the negative effects of too much stress.

Exercise 4

Everyone will agree that a good citizen should possess the following qualifications. Firstly, he must observe the laws of the country and all sorts of regulations of the society. Secondly, he should contribute positively to the society, which, in my eyes, is easily neglected but certainly more important for a good citizen. There could be other qualities required for a good citizen, but the above mentioned two points are as I strongly believe the most important ones.
Good citizens are essential to the stability and progress of the society. For instance, in the spring of 2003, China was hit by a dangerously contagious disease called SARS. It was an incurable disease and it spread fast. Hundreds of people lost their lives, including many doctors and nurses. In the face of such frightening disease, more doctors and nurses stood up and volunteered to go to the affected areas to fight the disease. They are undoubtedly good citizens for they saved many lives and contributed enormously to the stability of the society. And there are, of course, a great many other people who assume the duties of a citizen and do what they could do to contribute to the progress of the society. Beyond doubt, there will be no stablility and prosperity of the society without the devotion and efforts of good citizens.
Presently I am a student and as a student I should concentrate more on my studies. I should try to acquire much knowledge and many skills so that I can contribute more to our society after I graduate and thus be a good citizen of our society.

Exercise 5

Chinese people have a long tradition of eating all sorts of “delicious foods”, including wild animals or plants. As illustrated in the picture, a group of people seated around a big table, which is already covered with all sorts of wonderful food, are expecting another “ big” course. To everyone’s surprise, the waiter pushes in a cage containing an angry bear. Obviously, the bear’s paws, which are considered a delicacy in China, will be the next course.
This habit of eating wild animals is deeply rooted in Chinese food culture for Chinese people believe that wild animals are really nutritious as well as tasty. But people may not realize that this habit is harmful both to themselves and to biological environment. People may be infected with lethal bacteria or viruses by eating wild animals, which is demonstrated by the terrible SARS claiming thousands of lives in the world this spring. Also, hunting and eating wild animals disturbs the biological balance of the nature, which is already threatening the existence of human beings on the earth.
Therefore, special care must be taken to ensure that this habit is terminated. On the one hand, the government may have to establish laws to forbid the hunting and eating of wild animals. On the other hand, the public should uproot this bad habit themselves. Surely, if people from all walks of life pay enough attention to this problem, our life will be more healthy and enjoyable.
