Should universities recruit the same numbers of female and male students in every subject? While some may respond positively, a lot more others nod their heads, saying the restriction is ridiculous. As far as I am concerned, though men and women should gain equal educational opportunities, accepting equal numbers of boys and girls in each subject is unnecessary and impossible.
The main reason is that boys and girls, possibly
blessed with different modes of thinking, may represent divergent
talents to learn. Studies show that most boy studnets are better at
such courses of science as mathematics, physics,chemistry, biology
and alike, making them superior specialists in these fields while
in the study of language, females show their stronger side, making
them outstanding translators, lawyers, teachers and orators.
Therefore, it is meaningless to intentionally force these innocent
students to struggle in their weaknesses.
Another reason is that physical conditions may facilitate boys in some subjects while exclude their female peers. Everyone knows mining as a subject naturally needs more boys than girls, so does piloting a plane. In contrast, no one denies that women, careful, patient and sympathetic, are by nature good at housekeeping, child rearing and nursing. To put such a number restriction is simply to act against one’s nature, and not surprisingly, the policy will turn out to be a laughingstock.
We should also pay close attention to the serious imbalance in the numbers of males and females in the contempory society, especially in china, where girls greatly outnumber boys, for traditionally, the latter are regarded as the props of their families. So even if universities really plan to enlist the same numbers of boy and girl students, there may not be the same numbers of female and male students there to be choosen.
From what has been discussed above, we may draw the conclusion that accepting equal numbers of male and female students in every subject is unnecessary and impossible.(324W)

For the past decade or so, the decline of personal letter-writing has been masked by a huge growth of junk mail1), so annual falls in the total volume of letters have been a matter of increment. At the last count, the figure was down 1.6% year on year, though nosediving2) returns from the letters market probably said a great deal more: between 2004-5 and 2005-6, Royal Mail3)’s profits from letters fell by a third. To truly grasp the decline of letter-writing, it’s most instructive to look at surveys of the young. Those upstanding parents who still insist on thank-you letters may well be a dying breed: two years ago, a poll found that a third of 16- to 19-year-old girls had never written a letter, while among boys, the figure was over a half. When did you last write a proper letter to a close friend or family member? Where do you keep your writing-paper and stock of envelopes? If the letter really is fading fast, now might be a good time to chew over what we are about to lose. Out will go the epistolary novel4). What will happen to angry screeds mailed to your MP5)? Whither old-school fan mail6)? Perhaps most importantly, what could ever replace the soppy wonderment of the old-fashioned love letter? These thoughts underline why the practice of letter-writing may turn out to be a little more resilient than the figures suggest. Somewhat surprisingly, we are apparently spending more on pens and stationery, so all may not be lost. The advent of email — not to mention texting, instant messaging and social networking — has undoubtedly played much the biggest role in the fate of the letter, but the novelist A. S. Byatt traces its long-term decline a little further back. “I think the television has killed letter-writing just as much as email has,” she says. “In the Victorian era, letter-writing was what people did in their spare time, and then they read the letters to each other.

我曾经接触过一些准备出国读大学的中国当代最优秀的高中生，他们的聪慧、敏锐，让我惊叹不已，然而他们的去意已决，又让我有一丝惋惜、发出一声叹息。
这些孩子，在中国的幼儿园看图识字，在中国的小学司马光破缸救友，在中国的初中惊涛拍岸,卷起千堆雪，在中国的高中信陵君窃符救赵，可是，为什么，他们选择的，将要是外国的大学？而不是清华、北大、或者西安交大？
是外国本科的月亮比中国本科的圆么？
在越来越多的高中生把目光投向国外准备离家出走，在越来越多的外国大学把目光投向国内，卷走我们的生源和存款的时候，我们固然可以说，这是改革开放的必然趋势，没有必要做友邦惊诧论，我们的底子还厚实得很；然而，这是否也是一种提醒——在这个到处都可以吃到麦当劳的全球化时代，我们的大学教育，特别是本科教育，在取得了巨大成就的同时，是不是更应该苦练内功，增强自身的吸引力呢？
本科教学评估，在我看来，就是这样一种举措，它无意掀起一场声势浩大的运动，却要引导一种回归大学教育使命的潮流，教好书，育好人，这，就是大学的本分!
可是，以我们百年交大之大，难到要紧张一个小小的教学评估不成？
校领导们不这样看，我们外国语学院的领导们不这样看，他们说：有则改之，无则加勉，以评促建，才是关键。
看看我们周围的本科教学吧，以前也真有个别教师是踩着铃声才走进了课堂，也有个别老师属于三无教师：无教案，无板书，无作业，可是我们外国语学院语言教学实验中心的广大教师们, 早已经被要求向中心提供教学进度、教案、课件、学生优秀作业，已经从制度上杜绝了这种可能，那么，在评估即将到来的时候，我想，作为广大一线教师的一员，我是不是应该更加精心地设计每一节课50分钟的每一秒种，用更加充实生动的课堂，而不是考勤，来吸引学生，迎接评估呢？
第一篇
It goes without saying that this picture aims at revealing a
current problem: what kind of attitude we will choose when facing
difficulties and challenges. In this drawing, a football-player is
prepared to kick a ball towards the net, where a goal-keeper keeps
guard. However, in the player’s mind appears a scene in which the
keeper becomes a giant covering the net completely, while the
latter imagines that he turns out to be a dwarf standing below the
huge net. Obviously, both of them lack courage and confidence in
front of challenges.
These two players represent those who often choose to magnify their
enemies and dangers, and lose their confidence to fight against
them. As a result, what they can achieve in the end is nothing but
failure. This sad situation can be best illustrated in the fact
that some people lose their chance of success in the entrance
examination for the MA program. When preparing for the exam, they
often feel depressed thinking that they are never well-prepared. In
fact, they will soon realize that it is not as difficult as they
thought before. In a word, they suffer from underestimating their
abilities.
In our life, what we need most is self-insurance and a proper view
of challenges before us. Therefore, we should bear in mind that our
competitors may not be as terrible as expected, and our painstaking
efforts will pay off as long as we arm ourselves with courage and
confidence. Only in this way can we overcome any difficulties and
challenges.
第二篇
The drawing depicts a football player about to take a close shot
on the goal. Thought bubbles are shown for both the player taking
the shot and the goalkeeper. While the player taking the shot
pictures a huge goalkeeper who nearly fills up the entire goal, the
goalkeeper pictures himself as being much smaller than he actually
is.
The drawing intends to show us that we often underestimate
ourselves and overestimate others. In the goalkeeper's mind, he has
the impossible task of defending a huge goal, while the player
taking the shot imagines a gigantic goalkeeper who could stop
nearly any shot.In fact, neither of the players has an accurate
view of the challenge they are facing. The drawing reminds us that
it is important to have a clear picture of the challenges we face
in life.
Examples of this phenomenon can be found in many other
situations. For instance, the mountain climber may see the mountain
as taller Than it really is, or the student might see his or her
relatively simple class project as an insurmountable task.
第三篇
It is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon that a striker is
preparing to shoot at the goal defended by a goalkeeper on a
football field. In the goalkeeper’s mind, he is so much smaller
than he actually is that guarding the goal becomes a mission
impossible. On the contrary, the giant guard seems to fill up the
whole goal in the attacking player’s mind.
The purpose of the drawing is to show us that in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges or predicament, possessing self-confidence is of utmost significance. Regardless of how much success one has had in school or at work, there are bound to be times when he or she will encounter difficulties and problems. It is at these critical times that his self-confidence, towards difficulty and life in general, eventually plays a crucial role in determining whether he can turn failure into victory.
I can think of no better illustration than the following one. Helen Keller was born deaf, dumb and blind, certainly nothing to give her self-confidence. Nevertheless, she we
图画描述段：
This thought-provoking cartoon has made me burst into tears the moment I see it. As is depicted in the cartoon, an old man’s three sons and only daughter are having a football match. (一位老人的三个儿子和一个女儿在进行一场足球赛)They all attempt to kick the football, their miserable father, into others’ goal while keeping their own.（他们都企图将那个足球，也就是他们的老父亲，往别人的球门里踢，同时守好自己的门）Obviously，the aged father has become something even his children are unwilling to accept（显然，老父亲成了即便是自己的亲生儿女也不愿意接收的废物）.
寓意阐释段：
Why are children so unwilling to support (可换为care for) the old (可换为their old parent)? For one thing, these children are spoiled when they are young, so they become very selfish and have no sense of responsibility. When they become adults, they do not want to take care of their father. (可以改写为：these children are so spoiled when young that they turn out to be very selfish and self-centered and lack the sense of responsibility when grown up, and so it is natural that as adults they abandon their aged father). For another, old people (可换为most wretched fathers) have no money (可换为may have no old-age pension), and they are weak. They are often ill. Their children will consider their elderly a financial burden. （可写成
