Why doesn’t ever-greater wealth promote ever-greater happiness? It is a question that dates at least to the appearance in 1958 of The Affluent (富裕的) Society by John Kenneth Galbraith, who died recently at 97. The Affluent Society is a modern classic because it helped define a new moment in the human condition. For most of history, “hunger, sickness, and cold” threatened nearly everyone, Galbraith wrote. “Poverty was found everywhere in that world. Obviously it is not of ours.” After World War II, the dread of another Great Depression gave way to an economic boom. In the 1930s unemployment had averaged 18.2 percent; in the 1950s it was 4.5 percent.null To Galbraith, materialism had gone mad and would breed discontent. Through advertising, companies conditioned consumers to buy things they didn’t really want or need. Because so much spending was artificial, it would be unfulfilling. Meanwhile, government spending that would make everyone better off was being cut down because people instinctively—and wrongly—labeled government only as “a necessary evil.” It’s often said that only the rich are getting ahead; everyone else is standing still or falling behind. Well, there are many undeserving rich—overpaid chief executives, for instance. But over any meaningful period, most people’s incomes are increasing. From 1995 to 2004, inflation-adjusted average family income rose 14.3 percent, to $43,200. null people feel “squeezed” because their rising incomes often don’t satisfy their rising wants—for bigger homes, more health care, more education, faster Internet connections. The other great frustration is that it has not eliminated insecurity. People regard job stability as part of their standard of living. As corporate layoffs increased, that part has eroded. More workers fear they’ve become “the disposable American,” as Louis Uchitelle puts it in his book by the same name. Because so much previous suffering and social conflict stemmed from poverty, the arrival of widespread affluence suggested utopian (乌托邦式的) possibilities. Up to a point, affluence succeeds. There is much les physical misery than before. People are better off. Unfortunately, affluence also creates new complaints and contradictions.null Advanced societies need economic growth to satisfy the multiplying wants of their citizens. But the quest for growth lets loose new anxieties and economic conflicts that disturb the social order. Affluence liberates the individual, promising that everyone can choose a unique way to self-fulfillment. But the promise is so extravagant that it predestines many disappointments and sometimes inspires choices that have anti-social consequences, including family breakdown and obesity (肥胖症). Statistical indicators of happiness have not risen with incomes. Should we be surprised? Not really. We’ve simply reaffirmed an old truth: the pursuit of affluence does not always end with happiness. nullnullI’ve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so. Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.nullThe practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.” In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen. Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near. Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. nullHalfway through you available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices. 翻译比较翻译比较四级：能借助词典对题材熟悉的文章进行英汉互译，英汉译速为每小时300个英语单词，汉英译速为每小时250个汉字，译文基本流畅，能在翻译时使用适当的翻译技巧。 六级：能借助词典翻译一般英语国家报刊上题材熟悉的文章；能摘译所学专业的英语科普文章，并能撰写所学专业的英语小论文；英汉译速为每小时350个英语单词，汉英译速为每小时300个汉字；译文基本通顺、达意，无重大理解和语言错误。 null1.

You should write at least 150 words and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below: 当今社会上存在着很多不诚实的现象。 诚实利人利己，做人应该诚实。null It Pays to Be Honest ①In our modern social life, there are many examples around us show many people are cheated. Advertisements cheat people, salesmen cheat people, even one's closest friends cheat him or her. So many heartbreaks are heard everyday that we cannot help asking: where is our honest exist? Everybody is taught honest in the primary school or even in the kindergarten. Honesty does good not only to ourselves, but to others as well. If we are honest to others. We will be happier and be in a better mood. Otherwise, we'll feel guilt at last. To a company and its advertisement, honesty will bring it more consumer and more profit. If we cheat others, friends will never believe you and they will leave you alone. To a company, no consumer will buy your product again. So, as the above is said, it pays to be honest. Let's create a morally outstanding social. null②Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, some businessmen sell fake product to their consumers; some students cheat in the exams. Dishonest people are short-sighted. Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers won't buy their products any more. As a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison. By contrast, honest people gain a lot. Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other people as well. Such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends. Because they are trustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job. Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest. So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later. In a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honor. So it is important that we should be honest. null③With the development of modern economic and industry, competitive is becoming more and more obvious. At the same time, the performance of dishonest is becoming more and more clearly. Nowadays, there are many dishonest performance in our society. For example, some people found that he saled goods had past the preservation date. Not throw them away, they revised the perservation date, and saled them again after several days. Another case in the point, a pair of shoes was made from goat. However, in order to sale at a high price, the salers would say they were made from cow which has good quality. From the foregoing, we can see that dishonest dose not only harm to yourselves but also harm to others. And it is no use only realise the harmness of dishonest. We should be honest from now on and be honest in our daily life. It is only that people all over the world are honest them our country will be beautiful and wealthy. null④Now in our society, many people are not honest in doing soming. We often can meet with soming happened cause by people who are not honest. For example, Now we take the bus need carry cents own, and when you upstairs the bus, you should put the cent into the money box. Every people do that, but some of the people put the other things instead the cents. For another example, it is more normal that in the exams we can always find some students see others. I consider that every people should be honest. As a people, honest should be first, because it can make us to be increase and make our socity develop. In doing every thing we should be honest all, study, word, life and so on. If you are honest, every people will be friend to you, and who will regard you are good people. But if you don't be honest, people must unwilling to trath with you. So if you are want to be a good people, remember honest first. null⑤Nowadays, many people choose not to be honest in our modern society. We almost can find such things every day of our life: some students cheat in the exam for higher marks; some corporations tell wrong data to the public in order to get more investment; and some doctors treat their patients with unnecessary and expensive medicines in order to make money, sometimes damaged the patients' health, even their life. Seeing this situation. I think it must be changed. Being honest will benefit not only others, but also ourselves. First, your honesty will make others willing to trust you. Second, being honest can lead you to face your problem bravely, which helps to solve it. And the last, honest surely helps to make the society more harmony. So. I think everyone should start to be honest and everyone should have the idea that our society can not do without honesty. nullComposition 1: 8分/45 Composition 2: 14分/67 Composition 3: 5分/39 Composition 4: 2分<？>5分/33-39 Composition 5：11分/57 Let’s try changing composition 4 to level 3 at least!null④Now in our society, many people are not honest in doing soming.

So if you are want to be a good people, remember honest first. null④Now in our society, many people are not honest (in doing things). We often meet with troubles cause by people who are not honest. For example, some people put other things, instead of the coins, into the bus toll box. Another good case in point is cheating in exams. Now it is very common to see students copying answers from their classmates during the exams. I consider that every people should be honest. Whoever we are and whatever we do, honesty should come first, because it can make ourselves more comfortable and our society develop. (In doing every thing we should be honest all, study, word, life and so on.) If you are honest, people will be friendly to you, and will regard you as good person. But if you don't be honest, people will be unwilling to trust you. So if you want to be a good person, remember to be honest first. 改错题训练改错题训练null Passage Onenull 1.___ 2.___ 3.____ 4.____ 5.____ When we consider the comfortable circumstances of a working family today the life of the workingman in 1882 seems miserable indeed. But earlier it had been ever hard. At the beginning of the nineteenth century working hours were from sunrise to sunset, pay was awful and working conditions being poor and dangerous. The workingman had little schooling beyond his craft, and there was little hope that their children would have nothing better. There were no public schools, and besides, the few pennies which the children could earn, needed to help support the family. If he wasnull6.___ 7.___ 8.___ 9.___ 10.__present because of sickness there was often no job from him when he returned. Since there were always plenty of other workers to take his job, he was likely to be hired if he asked for more pay. Viewed against today’s standards the attitude of the nineteenth-century factory owners seems incredible. They believed that was good business to hire men, women and children as cheaply as possible, make them to work as hard as they could and, when they became inefficient, worn out, or unable to work for any reason, discharge them.null Passage Twonull 1.___ 2.___ 3.____ 4.____ 5.____ We are all naturally attracted to people with ideas, beliefs and interests like own. Similarly, we feel comfortable with people with physical qualities similar as ours. You may have noticed about how people who live or work closely together come to behave in a similar way. Unconsciously we copy these we are close to or love or admire. So a sportsman’s individual way of walking with raised shoulders is imitated by an admired fan; a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employer finds himself duplicating his boss’s habit of wagging a pen between his fingers while thinking. null 6.___ 7.___ 8.____ 9.____ 10.___ In every case, the influential person may consciously notice the imitation but he will feel comfortably in its presence. And if he does notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he finds it pleasing he is influencing people: they are aware of them. Sensitive people have been mirroring their friend and acquaintances all their lives, and winning affection and respect in this way without aware of their methods. Now, for people who want to win agreement or trust, affection or sympathy, some psychologists recommend the deliberately use of physical imitation.null Passage Threenull 1.___ 2.___ 3.____ 4.____ 5.___ 6.___ If indeed silence is golden, it is also becoming as rare as gold. It seems that the progresses of man includes a rising volume of noise. In every home a stereo or television will fill the rooms sound. Between sunrise and sunset, streets and highways are a constant source of voice from cars, buses, and trucks. You can pass any factory or construction area and the roar of their machinery will make your ears ringing. Music is played in every supermarket, most restaurants, and many offices. Big cities of the world are well-known by their noisiness.null 7.___ 8.____ 9.____ 10.___ Noises pollution is the new side effect of our technological age. Day or night, the sound of the work fills the air. It seems that the smoothing effects of silence are nowhere to be found. Even the quiet of our careful protected wildness areas can be invaded at any moment by a passed jet. We are learning, finally, that silence is a natural resource and must be protected by law. It appears that we all find company in sound, if we all demand a little quiet from time to time. null Passage Fournull 1.___ 2.___ 3.____ 4.____ By the time of the Civil War, there were many differences between the North and the South. For instance, the population of the North was far greater than of the South. Twenty-two million people lived in the North; nine million lived in the South. To the nine million people in the South, more than three million were slaves, many of whom would fight for the North. In addition to have more people, the North also possessed most of the factories in the United States. This greatly helped the Southern army, which could count on adequate supplies of guns, ammunition, and clothing during the Civil War. null5.___ 6.___ 7.____ 8.____ 9.___ 10.___In the contrast, the South, since it mainly depended on farming, had many factories. The southern leaders hoped to gain war supplies from European countries. They planned to buy their crops to England and France in return for guns and ammunition to fight the war. Except its industry, the North also had a large network for railroads to transport supplies. The South, which had few railroads, depended on its waterways to transport men and supplies. Moreover, the North had an established army, navy, and government, while the South had to begin organizing its self military force. null Passage Fivenull 1.___ 2.___ 3.____ 4.____ When you start talking about good and bad manners you immediately start meeting difficulties.
