　　范文赏析

　　第一部分

　　1.Do you like to write letters?

　　When I was a little kid, I prefer to write letters to my friends during Spring Festival. But recently, I seldom write letters because there are abundant ways to communicate with my friends. For example, E-mail is so fast and convenient in our daily life.

　　2.Do you think phones will be replaced by other communication forms?

　　Actually I have to say “No” because even the phone are very traditional in our daily life, but it has its highlight. When we are in emergency, we still tend to use phones primarily because they’re the most direct and fast way to find the certain people.

　　3.what’s the difference between postcards and E-mails?

　　I believe there are many differences between postcards and E-mails. You know when we travel to a new place or on some festive occasions, we send postcards to our friends to express good wishes. But when we at work, we prefer to use E-mails because they’re more efficient and formal.

　　Sample Answer

　　Boiling Frog 温水煮青蛙

　　The boiling frog story states that a frog can be boiled alive if the water is heated slowly enough — it is said that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will never jump out.

　　If you put the frog in cold water and slowly increase the temperature--slowly boil the water, the frog will be cooked without trying to jump out.

　　They say that if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will leap out right away to escape the danger. But, if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant, and then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling, the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late. The frog's survival instincts are geared towards detecting sudden changes.

　　The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to react to important changes that occur gradually.

　　Life happens gradually. Like the frog, we can be fooled, and suddenly it’s too late. We need to be aware of what is happening.

　　This is a story that is used to illustrate how people might get themselves into terrible trouble. This parable is often used to illustrate how humans have to be careful to watch slowly changing trends in the environment, not just the sudden changes. Its a warning to keep us paying attention not just to obvious threats but to more slowly developing ones.

　　An example: Let's say that every year, the local well had an inch less of water in it. A person might realize there's a problem if there's suddenly NO water, but a slowly dropping level might not be an obvious crisis until it's too late!

　　第三部分：

　　1.In general, what’s the role of science in modern society?

　　Science plays a vital role in the development of today’s society. It enhances productivity(发展生产力), improve people’s living standards (提高生活水平)by providing us with all kinds of high-tech products, and facilitates education (加强教育)by means of internet leaning.

　　2.Do you think it’s good for high schools to have science classes?

　　Yes, definitely. The students will benefit a lot from science courses on high school because the science courses will not only teach them science knowledge which is of great importance in modern society but also teach them to have scientific attitudes toward everything. More importantly, to have a respect for truth.(尊重真理)
