For some employers, the policy of lifelong employment is particularly important because it means that they can put money and effort into their staff training and make them loyal to the company. What they do is to select young people who have potential and who can be trained. They then give the young people the kinds of skills that will make them suitable employees for the company. In other words, they adjust their training to their particular needs.
One recently employed graduate says that she is receiving a great deal of valuable training from the company. “This means that I will be a loyal employee,” she says, “And it also means that the company will want to keep me. I am an important investment for them. So, the policy is a good one because it benefits both the employer and the employee.”
Recently, however, attitudes towards lifelong employment are beginning to change. Employees are slowly beginning to accept the idea that lifelong employment is not always in their best interest and that changing firms can have career advantages.

对一些雇主来说，终身雇佣政策尤为重要，因为这意味着他们可以在员工培训上投入资金和精力，并使员工对公司忠诚。
他们所做的是挑选有潜力、可以被培养的年轻人，然后给这些年轻人提供使他们成为公司合适员工的技能。换句话说，他们会根据公司特定需求来调整培训内容。
一位新入职的毕业生说，她从公司得到了大量宝贵的培训。“这意味着我将成为一名忠诚的员工，”她说，“这也意味着公司会希望留住我。我对公司来说是重要的投资。所以，这项政策是好的，因为它对雇主和员工都有好处。”
然而，最近人们对终身雇佣的态度开始发生变化。员工们开始慢慢接受这样的观点：终身雇佣并不总是符合他们的最佳利益，跳槽可能对职业发展更有利。

Tokyo is one of the most confusing cities in the world. Over 20 million people live and work in the Tokyo area, and many famous companies have their offices there. But most streets don’t have names. So how can you find your way in Tokyo?
Most people in Tokyo are very good at giving directions. They can usually explain how to get to their home or their office from the nearest train station. People often use maps when they give directions. Advertisements in newspapers or magazines, for example, usually have a small map to help you find the company. If you’re going to visit someone’s house, it’s a good idea to ask the person to draw, or fax you, a map of the local area. If you get lost, the best idea is to go to a police station. In Japan, each neighborhood has a small police station, and the police officers there have a map of all the buildings in the area. Giving directions is an important part of their job.

东京是世界上最让人迷惑的城市之一。东京地区有超过两千万人生活和工作，许多著名公司也在这里设有办公室。但大多数街道没有名字。那么，你如何在东京找到路呢？
东京的大多数人都非常擅长指路。他们通常可以说明从最近的火车站到他们家或办公室的路线。人们在指路时经常使用地图。例如，报纸或杂志上的广告通常会附上一张小地图，帮助你找到公司。如果你要去别人家拜访，最好让对方画一张当地区域的地图或者传真给你。如果你迷路了，最好的办法是去警察局。在日本，每个社区都有一个小型警察局，警察那里有该地区所有建筑物的地图。指路是他们工作的重要部分。

People today are still talking about the generation gap. Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all. What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared?
One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents like, and often to continue the family occupation.
Parents often expect their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap.
Finally, the high speed of social changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use overnight.

如今人们仍然在谈论代沟。一些父母抱怨他们的孩子不尊重自己，而孩子们抱怨父母根本不了解他们。到底出了什么问题？为什么会出现代沟呢？
一个重要原因是年轻人希望选择自己的生活方式。在更传统的社会中，孩子长大后被期望住在父母所在的地区，娶父母喜欢的人，并且经常继续家族职业。
父母常常希望自己的孩子比自己做得更好，找到更好的工作，赚更多的钱，并完成自己未能做到的事情。然而，父母对孩子寄予的过高期望往往也是代沟产生的原因之一。
最后，社会变革的高速加深了代沟。在传统文化中，人们因智慧而被重视，但在当今社会，终生积累的知识可能一夜之间失去作用。

Telecommuting
It’s 8:30, time for John to start work. So, he turns on his radio. Then he eats breakfast. As he eats, he reads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list. Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article he needs to write… Wait a minute! Radio? Breakfast? Sofa? What kind of workplace is this? Well, actually it is John’s house, and he is a telecommuter---he works at home, communicating with the workplace through the Internet.
Like John, millions of people --- and their employers --- are finding that telecommuting is a great way to work.
Telecommuters can follow their own schedules. They work in the comfort of their homes, where they can also look after young children or elderly parents. They save time and money by not traveling to work. Their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture. Studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often. This saves employers even more money. Telecommuting helps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems.
Jobs that are suited to telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting. If a job involves working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.

远程办公
现在是 8:30，约翰开始工作。于是，他打开收音机，然后吃早餐。吃早餐的同时，他查看电子邮件并复习待办事项清单。接着，他坐在沙发上思考需要写的一篇文章……等等！收音机？早餐？沙发？这是什么样的工作场所？实际上，这是约翰的家，他是一名远程办公者——他在家工作，通过互联网与工作单位沟通。
像约翰一样，数以百万计的人——以及他们的雇主——发现远程办公是一种极好的工作方式。
远程办公者可以按照自己的时间表工作。他们在舒适的家中工作，同时也可以照顾年幼的孩子或年迈的父母。他们通过不用通勤节省了时间和金钱。雇主也能节省开支，因为办公室空间和家具需求减少。研究表明，远程办公者换工作的频率较低，这进一步为雇主节省了更多成本。远程办公还有助于社会，通过减少污染和交通问题。
适合远程办公的工作包括写作、设计、计算机编程和会计。如果一份工作涉及信息处理，远程办公者很可能可以胜任。

The Dragon Boat Festival is another significant festival in Chinese traditional celebrations. The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated on the fifth day of Lunar May. This holiday is to memorize the death of Qu Yuan, a well-loved poet of the fourth century B.C.
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, every family prepares Zongzi. This is a kind of rice dumpling filled with various things. After preparing Zongzi, each family goes to the river to watch the dragon boat races, which take place on this festival. The dragon boat symbolizes the story of Qu Yuan. It is a rowing boat team competition with about thirty people in each team. All the watchers cheer and shout happily. After the exciting race, both the competitors and watchers usually eat many Zongzi.
The Dragon Boat Festival symbolizes the unique meanings of Chinese history and furthermore, the process of making the rice dumplings, the boat race are a way of drawing all members of the family together again. Perhaps one day we will have a very different celebration, but so far, we still like this holiday being celebrated in a traditional way.

端午节是中国传统节日中另一个重要的节日。端午节在农历五月初五庆祝。这个节日是为了纪念屈原的去世，他是公元前四世纪备受喜爱的诗人。
在端午节之前，每个家庭都会准备粽子。这是一种内有各种馅料的米饭团。准备好粽子后，每个家庭都会去河边观看端午节期间举行的龙舟赛。龙舟象征着屈原的故事。这是一种划船比赛，每队大约有三十人。所有观众都欢呼雀跃。激动人心的比赛结束后，参赛者和观众通常会吃很多粽子。
端午节象征着中国历史的独特意义，而且制作粽子和划龙舟的过程也是将全家人再次聚集在一起的一种方式。也许有一天我们会有完全不同的庆祝方式，但到目前为止，我们仍然喜欢以传统方式庆祝这个节日。

About 70 million Americans are trying to lose weight. That is almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States. Some people go on diets. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugar. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?
Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy.
Most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written.
Some people say dieting should be private. Some people join weight-control clubs. One club is called Weight Watchers International. The group uses psychology and special diet plans to help its members lose weight. In return, members pay Weight Watchers a fee.

有些人认为节食应该是私人的。一些人加入了体重控制俱乐部。其中一个俱乐部叫做“国际体重观察者协会（Weight Watchers International）”。该组织利用心理学和特殊的饮食计划帮助会员减肥，作为回报，会员向该组织支付会费。

My First Impression of College Life
My initial weeks in college have left me with a vivid impression, primarily defined by two striking aspects: newfound independence and the diverse community.
Unlike high school, where schedules were strictly mapped out, college grants me the freedom to manage my own time. I decide when to study, relax, or participate in club activities. This liberty is both exhilarating and challenging, teaching me the crucial skills of self-discipline.
The most profound impression, however, comes from the people. My classmates hail from various regions, each bringing unique cultural differences and life stories. During a late-night discussion in my dorm, we shared our dreams and perspectives, which broadened my horizons immensely.
In short, college life has greeted me not just with academic opportunities, but with the gift of freedom and the beauty of diversity. It is an inspiring journey of self-discovery and connection.
（我对大学生活的第一印象
我在大学的最初几周留下了深刻的印象，主要体现在两个突出方面：新获得的独立性和多元化的社区。
与严格安排时间表的高中不同，大学让我有自由安排自己的时间。我决定何时学习、休息或参加社团活动。这种自由既令人兴奋又充满挑战，教会我自律的重要技能。
然而，给我最深印象的还是人。我的同学来自各个地区，每个人带来独特的文化差异和生活故事。在宿舍的深夜讨论中，我们分享了自己的梦想和看法，这极大地开阔了我的视野。
总之，大学生活不仅给我带来了学术机会，还赋予我自由的礼物和多样性的美。这是一段充满自我发现与联系的鼓舞人心的旅程。）

A New Friend in College
Among the many new faces, Leo has become a cherished friend. Our friendship began not in a classroom, but in the campus library.
One evening, I was struggling with a difficult physics problem. Seeing my frustration, Leo, who was sitting across from me, offered help. He patiently explained the concept with such clarity that the solution suddenly seemed simple. We started talking and discovered a shared passion for science fiction and badminton.
What truly cemented our friendship, however, is his genuinely positive and supportive nature. He is always the first to encourage me when I face challenges and is genuinely happy for my achievements.
Therefore, we became friends not just because of common interests, but because of his kindness and the sincere support we offer each other, making the journey through college much warmer and more enjoyable.
（大学里的一个新朋友
在众多新面孔中，Leo 成为了我珍贵的朋友。我们的友谊不是在课堂上开始的，而是在校园图书馆。
一天晚上，我正在努力解决一个困难的物理问题。看到我沮丧的样子，坐在我对面的 Leo 主动提供帮助。他耐心地解释了概念，使得问题的解决突然变得简单起来。我们开始交谈，发现都热爱科幻小说和羽毛球。
然而，使我们的友谊真正稳固的是他那真诚积极和支持的性格。当我面临挑战时，他总是第一个鼓励我，并为我的成就感到由衷高兴。
因此，我们成为朋友不仅因为共同兴趣，还因为他的善良以及我们彼此间真诚的支持，使得大学生活的旅程更加温暖和愉快。）

A Foreign Culture I Would Like to Experience
The culture I am most eager to experience is that of Italy, a country renowned for its rich historical legacy and passionate way of life.
What attracts me most is the Italian philosophy of "la dolce vita" — the sweet life. I would love to witness its magnificent ancient ruins and Renaissance art, feeling the weight of history in cities like Rome and Florence. More importantly, I want to immerse myself in the local lifestyle: sharing laughter over a leisurely meal in a family-run trattoria, learning the hand gestures that accompany conversations, and hearing opera in an open-air piazza. The Italian emphasis on family, food, and enjoying the present moment is something I find deeply appealing.
I believe experiencing Italian culture would teach me to appreciate beauty in everyday life and remind me of the importance of passion and connection, making my own life richer and more vibrant.
（我最渴望体验的文化是意大利文化，这个国家以其丰富的历史遗产和热情洋溢的生活方式而闻名。
最吸引我的是意大利的“甜美生活”（la dolce vita）理念。我希望亲眼目睹壮丽的古代遗迹和文艺复兴时期的艺术，在罗马和佛罗伦萨等城市感受历史的厚重。更重要的是，我想沉浸在当地的生活方式中：在家庭经营的小餐馆里共享轻松的笑声，学习伴随交流的手势，并在露天广场聆听歌剧。意大利文化对家庭、食物以及享受当下的重视让我深深着迷。
我相信，体验意大利文化会教会我欣赏日常生活中的美，并提醒我热情和联系的重要性，使我的生活更加丰富多彩。）

1、Directions: For this part, you should write a short essay on the biggest difficulty you have faced in learning English and how you deal with it. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.（说明：本部分要求写一篇关于你在学习英语过程中遇到的最大困难以及你如何应对的短文。字数至少 120 词，不超过 180 词。）
The Biggest Difficulty in Learning English
The most significant difficulty I have encountered in learning English is achieving spontaneous speaking fluency. While I can comprehend written texts and handle structured writing tasks, converting my thoughts into smooth, real-time conversation remains a formidable hurdle.
This difficulty primarily stems from the mental gap between knowing a word and retrieving it instantly during dialogue. To tackle this, I have implemented a two-pronged approach. Firstly, I engage in daily shadowing exercises, repeating sentences from English audio-books and news reports to improve my muscle memory and intonation. Secondly, I force myself into speaking situations: I partnered with a classmate for weekly English-only coffee chats, creating a safe space to make mistakes and build confidence.
Through these consistent efforts, my mental block is slowly dissolving. Confronting this difficulty has taught me that language acquisition requires not just knowledge, but also the development of a quick, responsive instinct for communication.
（学习英语的最大困难
我在学习英语过程中遇到的最大困难是实现自发的口语流利性。虽然我可以理解书面文本并完成结构化写作任务，但将思想转换为流畅的实时对话仍然是一道艰巨的障碍。
这一困难主要源于在对话中，从知道一个单词到能够立即提取它的心理差距。为了解决这一问题，我采取了双管齐下的方法。首先，我每天进行跟读练习，重复英语有声书和新闻报道中的句子，以改善肌肉记忆和语调。其次，我强迫自己进入说话情境：我与一位同学每周进行一次全英文咖啡聊天，创造一个安全空间来允许犯错并建立信心。
通过这些持续的努力，我的心理障碍正在慢慢消解。面对这一困难让我明白，语言习得不仅需要知识，还需要培养快速、灵敏的沟通本能。）
