the subject’s business and family, or even bug and wiretap them – to get the news by whatever means are necessary. (陳述現(xiàn)象:報刊頻頻曝光名人隱私 ) It is not difficult to explain the reason for the surprising amount of interest in famous people’s lives. They are in the spotlight. Renowned or notorious, they are the topic of ordinary people. To satisfy their curiosity, or “the people’s right to know”, journalists often find it their duty to report their activities. (分析原因:滿足讀者的獵奇心理 )Moreover, what matters to a newspaper or a magazine is the number of readers. A large readership means the rise in the circulation of their publications, hence a large profit. Since film stars and pop singers draw far more attention than other people, it is natural that the press should try to feature private lives of famous people. (另一個原因:促銷 ) However, those exposed people can be severely injured by such press attention. Sensational stories about their private lives cause great unhappiness to them. To escape reporters, they cannot even lead a normal life. Famous people are also citizens. They have the right to keep their own privacy like ordinary people. (分析后果影響,標明作者態(tài)度 ) III 比較結構 Passage 6(平衡寫法) Knowledge or Experience Which is more important in life, knowledge from the books you read or personal experience you gain in reality? The answer may vary from person to person. The young, educated may emphasize the former, while the old may stress the latter. But in my opinion, they are of the same importance. (設問引出別人的觀點,并提出自己的觀點 ) Experience is priceless. How to bee an efficient secretary? How to prepare for your first child to e into the world? There is so much experience we need in careers, in life and even in academic study. It helps people deal with problems with ease and confidence. However, experience is limited in terms of time and space. For one thing, it is impossible for anyone to experience all events. For another, as the speed with which skills are obsolete and new problems crop up is unprecedented because of the fast development of society, experience is far less adequate. Depending too much on it only leads to narrowmindedness and prejudice. (分析經(jīng)驗的優(yōu)缺點 ) Books of various kinds can bring us almost unlimited additional experience. From books we can not only trace back to the wisdom of our antecedents, but keep up with the latest developments of science and technology. To be sure, the knowledge from books is second hand experience. It is the ideal supplement to our own limited experience. (指出書本知識的重要性 ) To sum up, both book knowledge and personal experience are essential. While experience makes one more resourceful, book knowledge makes one more learned. (歸納總結,做出平衡性結論 ) Passage 7(傾向性寫法) Where Old Sick People Go It is a traditional custom for Chinese old, sick people to live with their children. In this way the young people can express their gratefulness and show respect for them. But in recent years, the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction. According to a survey conducted in Shanghai alone in 2020, nearly 52 percent of the old and sick parents were placed in the nursing homes. Although many people frown on it, I don’t think it is a bad tendency. (引出主題:越來越多的病弱老人住進養(yǎng)老院,并提出自己的看法) It is true that the young have the duty to take care of their old parents. After a lifetime of hard work and the toil of bringing up and fostering children, the elders deserve the care the young extend to them. On the other hand, younger people can benefit from the experience and wisdom of older people. (首先承認讓老人住在家里有一定的好處和道理 ) But for the sake of their health, old and sick people are better off being placed in nursing homes. For they can receive better service and more intensive care of the professional nurses. Most importantly, they will be much happier there than at home. As their adult children go to work and grandchildren go to school in the daytime, they have to spend most of their time with themselves. But in nursing homes for the elderly they won’t suffer boredom and loneliness by talking and playing with people of their age. (通過對比,說明讓老人住在養(yǎng)老院里的好處 ) To send the old and sick to the nursing home is something like to send your baby to the kindergarten. It can reduce the adults’ burden and worries about their old and sick parents. It is not an act of abandonment, but a sign of love. (歸納總結,進一步說明老人住養(yǎng)老院的好處 ) IV 評論結構 Passage 8(贊成寫法) Old Technologies In a recent issue of China Daily, I read a story about American high school students who can’t do simple addition. It says that when the puterized cash register in a fastfood restaurant broke down, the girl who did a parttime job there had to stop work because she could not figure out how much change is owned back from a $10 bill. (陳述現(xiàn)象 ) It is true that as science and technology develop, many old technologies are being lost. The end of mental calculations is only one example. Stop writing letters is another. But this is not necessary a bad thing. Must modern youth learn how to use an abacus and how to handle dial telephone? (作者提出自己的觀點) I think the end of mental calculations and the abacus is an indication of social progress. This is no tragedy. They are vanishing because they can’t satisfy the demands of modern people. Why should we use abacuses when we have electronic calculators and puters, a much faster tool? Why should we write letters to each other when we have telephones and , a more efficient substitute? (闡述看法:社會進步的標志 ) The development of science must be at the cost of obsolete technologies. With the progress of society and advance of science, it is unavoi
