Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live,
travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However,
today the applicationof computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars
makes it possible to eliminatemost of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mountedin your car
can detectalcohol vapor in the airand refuse to start upthe engine. They can also monitor road conditions by
receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellitesand greatly reduce your chances of getting stuckin
traffic jams.

2．
Globalization has great implications for young Chinese. For example, young farmers are moving on a large
scale to urban areas to look for jobs. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in
foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. At the same time, a considerable
number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for
the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young
people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to
care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the
traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.

For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you
judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He
was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be
very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane
venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt,
Burton was a man with a heart of stone.

Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring
and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.
Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer
and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved
ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.

Today, long after the earthquake shook // hit my tome-town, I can still recall, in crystal detail, what I saw as I ran out of my home with my parents. The building just across the street toppled right before our eyes, debris flew everywhere and a cloud of choking dust blotted out the sun. Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screaming.
Now, many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one. In the town square, a memorial has been build to remember those killed in the disaster. It seems the wounds in people’s hearts have healed, but the memory will linger.

5) Alex gave the policeman a wallet stuffed with banknotes. He said he had found it on the curb when he hopped off his school bus.
Last Wednesday my classmate Caroline and I visited Zhouzhuang, a well-known town looped all around by streams. When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decided to tour the town by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in all silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the hea vy traffic and noise of the large city.
Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I'd like to go there again.
