4、 various factors that contribute to todays longevity of people are three most obvious ones: the improvement of food conditions, the development of modern medical technology, and finally current stability of economy in our country. Food conditions are better than before and are still being developed
5、with a rapid pace. First of all, foods are more hygienic. People today drink untainted mineral water, sterilized skim milk, which are cheaply supplied in supermarkets. Furthermore, foods are more nutrient. Not to mention various carefully designed nutrient products. People can just ignore the possib
6、ility of being dystrophic, since they can keep nutritional balance by simply taking a cheap pill of vitamin compound every day. Another essential improvement that contributes to peoples longevity is swiftly developing medical technology. Development of modern medical technology has always been amazi
7、ng. Certain diseases such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, and dysentery are now easy to remedy with low expenses, but in the past, they were all probably lethal ones. The dental technology seems little developed except its exorbitantly charged bill, yet the simplest technology contributes to peoples lon
8、gevity most. It is not difficult to imagine that if an individual who lived in the past got a toothache, without certain dental care which is common today, he was certainly in an awful prospect: he might even die of a toothache! Current societal and economic stabilization is also a very indispensabl
9、e factor. People have less pressure in a more stable society, the less pressure they suffer, the healthier they are. Todays ideal stabilization even provides people an opportunity to secure their future buy insurances. Various types of insurances are readily available, which makes people feel safe,

Healthy co-workers relations are crucial for the success of business. Since average workers spend at least eight hours a
11、 day with their co-workers, their relationships with their co-workers are among the most important relationships in their lives. The best kinds of co-workers will possess team spirit, be hard working, and have a sense of humor. Co-workers with team spirit will put the needs of the company and their
12、co-workers before then-own needs. For instance, an employee with team spirit might put in uncompensated overtime to help a co-worker finish a project before a big deadline. If the worker who needs help does not meet the deadline, the whole company might lose an important client. If co-workers help e
13、ach other, even though the rewards might not be immediately apparent, each individual will gain more than if they worked separately. A good co-worker needs to be hard working. This is the responsibility of every worker in any company. Just as the failure of employees to cooperate will hurt each memb
14、er of a company, failure of each worker to perform to the best of his/her ability will hurt the company. It will not only lower that particular workers productivity, but it will also damage the co-workers morale. If I see a co-worker of mine slacking off, I might begin to think to myself, “Why shoul
15、d I work hard? I can slack off like my co-worker and still make the same amount of money!“ Hard work is not only important for productivity; it is also a crucial prerequisite of team spirit. Finally, good co-workers need to have a sense of humor. Working at any company can be very stressful. Even th
16、ough it is necessary for everyone to work hard, that does not mean that work cannot be fun. Since co-workers spend so much time together, being able to joke and laugh each other is also important. If an employee is perceived by his/her co-workers as a humorless workaholic, then they might not want t
17、o go along with him/her. His/Her lack of humor hurts team spirit, and not only irritates the people around him/her, but also damages the whole company. 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Is it advisable for a teenage student to have a part-time job? People who oppose the idea of students taking part-time jobs say t
18、hat students should use their time to focus exclusively on studying. I would argue instead that part-time jobs help students focus on their studies, provide valuable practical experience, and allow them a feeling of success and independence that is a perfect complement to their academic pursuits. A
19、popular criticism of schools is that they are “ivory towers,“ or places where study and research are divorced from the “real world“. A part-time job related to their major gives students an exciting chance to apply the theories they have learned in school. Chemistry is a notoriously abstract, boring
20、, difficult subject. When a student takes a part-time job in a medical research lab, however, he/she might discover how important studying chemistry is for saving peoples lives. This student might then return to his/her chemistry studies with renewed vigor. What was an abstract academic pursuit beco
21、mes a concrete and interesting goal with a real relationship to the students life. Part-time jobs also help students strengthen their resumes, build important contacts with companies, and familiarize them with the contemporary state of their respective fields. No matter how hard they try, Computer S
22、cience (C. S.) textbook publishers cannot keep up with the rapid development of new computer hardware, software, and programming languages. C. S. students who wish to maintain a competitive edge in the job market should find part-time positions where they can learn state-of-the-art techniques. After
23、 they graduate from college, they might then return to their part-time employer to look for a full-time position, or approach other employers with good references and cutting-edge work experience. Finally, the feeling of success that comes from holding a part-time job can build students confidence.
24、Knowing that they can do a job well and be paid for it is an important character-building experience that many students put off for too long. Learning to manage the money that they make will be a critical part of their future lives. If they make mistakes handling their money in college, the results
25、will probably not be disastrous, but will teach them valuable lessons that they will be sure to remember in the future, when they will be truly independent. 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 The advantages and disadvantages of my city If my friend Joey wants to move to Beijing, I think even though she might find s
26、omething she dislikes, she will ultimately like this greatest city in our country. The weather might be one thing that she dislikes. The weather in Beijing is characterized by dry climate and it is much windy and dusty than that of Guangzhou city. Joey is very sensitive about her skin, so she will d
27、efinitely hate dusty winds in Beijing. Moreover, Beijings winter is far too much colder than that of Guangzhou, it might take Joey, as many other people came from the South, a very long time to get accustomed to. Nevertheless, she might well enjoy winter in the North, since she has never seen snowfl
28、akes in reality before. I remembered the shining of yearning and eager in her eyes when I once told her what the winter in the North looks like. She might be always irritated by heavy traffic in Beijing, though taxis in Beijing cost much less than in Guangzhou. When I was in Guangzhou, seldom was I
29、trapped by traffic jams. It must be ridiculous for her to have spent more than two hours and still did not arrive at the destination which is merely 10 kilometers away. And the most ludicrous thing is, even if you possess a private car, it is more likely to be useless, for parking lots are always cr
30、owded, which means more time is to be wasted. Good news for her is that the bus system and that of subway in Beijing are well developed and more convenient, and she will not have to bear that odor of bromhidrosis owing to burning weather as she once experienced in buses of Guangzhou. What she will d
31、efinitely love is the cultural ethos of the city. Beijing has a history probably longer than any other big city in China. To visit all historical landscapes in Beijing, she will need at least three years, no kidding! Beijing has the most famous and excellent universities, the largest libraries, the
32、richest museums, yet most important of all, her best friend! Amazingly, in this aged city, people are sometimes more international. Joey is especially fond of art, and Beijing is the right place for her, in which concerts of international singers or other musicians are much frequent, and she will even be able to attend Cui Jians casual private concert in a coffee shop on a rainy autumn weekend. 【知识模块】 作文
